The gods of Mesopotamia

This is the prequel to a book I am writing titled Elemental Nexus. It should come out this year. This book is a book on the mesopotamian mythology. It will have some other non mesopotamians like Musashi miyamoto, Sekhmet, Zeus, Odin etc. It might be confusing at first but when Elemental Nexus comes out you will understand it. I put the genre as history because that's the closest thing to mythology. So ya sit back and enjoy.

Celestial Discord - Pantheon Dissent Unveiled in Cosmic Echoes

In the tapestry of celestial realms, where astral currents wove intricate patterns across mythological boundaries, gods from diverse pantheons assembled for a transcendent discourse. Marduk, bearing the mantle of concern for humanity, stood in the luminous conclave, proposing a cosmic measure that would reshape the fate of mortals. Yet, as the celestial symphony unfolded, dissent echoed through the astral expanse, creating a mosaic of cosmic discourse.

Zeus, the mighty ruler of Olympus, spoke with measured authority, "Marduk, the plight of mortals concerns us all, but the proposal of annihilation is a chord too dissonant. Let our pantheons harmonize in guiding humanity toward redemption rather than erasure."

Odin, the wise Allfather of the Norse gods, regarded Marduk with a gaze that spanned the astral realms. "Brother of Babylon, the threads of mortal destinies are delicate. Annihilation may sever them, but our pantheons can collaborate to mend and guide."

Freya, radiant goddess of love in the Norse pantheon, interjected, "In our celestial symphony, let us be conductors of inspiration, gently nudging mortals toward virtue. Annihilation is a cacophony that disrupts the cosmic harmony."

Athena, the wise strategist of the Greek pantheon, added her voice to the cosmic discourse. "The mortal tapestry is a weave of choices, both shadow and light. Let our pantheons illuminate the path, guiding mortals with wisdom rather than extinguishing their existence."

Ashtar, the Babylonian goddess who initially aligned with Marduk, found herself caught in the currents of pantheon dissent. "Perhaps," she suggested, "we can weave a different narrative—collective guidance that nurtures the seeds of redemption within the mortal heart."

The gods and goddesses, emissaries from pantheons spanning Egyptian, Hindu, and Slavic mythologies, offered their insights. The celestial conclave, initially swayed by Marduk's urgency, became a theatre of cosmic debate where divine voices united against the looming threat of annihilation.

In the celestial discourse, each pantheon presented its unique perspective on the mortal realm. Ra, the sun god of Egypt, spoke of the enduring potential within mortals to rise from darkness. Shiva, the deity of transformation in Hindu mythology, emphasized the cyclical nature of mortal existence and the opportunity for rebirth.

The gods of Slavic mythology, guardians of their ancient traditions, spoke in whispers of preserving the rich tapestry of mortal destinies. Perun, god of thunder, expressed a sentiment shared among many pantheons, "The mortal journey, though fraught with challenges, holds the promise of growth and enlightenment. Let us guide, not obliterate."

As the celestial consensus leaned away from Marduk's drastic proposal, the gods embarked on a collective journey, embracing their responsibility for shaping the destinies of mortals. The astral realms witnessed a tapestry of divine collaboration—threads of guidance and inspiration intertwined, creating a harmonious mosaic that spanned the pantheons of human mythos.

And so, the celestial tapestry remained intact, the threads of mortal destinies preserved as gods embraced the challenge of guiding humanity with a unified purpose, steering them away from the precipice of cosmic obliteration. The symphony of pantheon dissent had given rise to a new celestial harmony, echoing across the mythological realms and shaping the destiny of mortals in unforeseen ways. In the luminous expanse, where astral currents carried echoes of divine discourse, the gods, with their differing perspectives, embarked on a collaborative odyssey, unfolding chapters of guidance that would shape the mortal experience for epochs to come.

You read what you just read Marduk wants to eradicate humanity thankfully the other gods disagreed. By the way this is a non canon way of everything but marduk suggestion does make the gods weary as you will soon see
