The demon World was established with seven primordials or Seven Demon Gods, each choose Demon Eggs to create their subordinates.
Rimuru wanted to establish hierarchy amongst demons with Primordials at the top followed by Arch Demons, and then other demons. Each Primordial Demon was given the chance to create seven Arch-Demons belonging to their lineage.
In the end forty-nine Arch Demons were born, each capable of destroy galaxies. Another thing was as Rimuru was a part of the natural order, his creations were so. Thus, each of them could exercise their powers freely in the main universes.
Next, came on how to handle his Aspect of Divinity and how will it affect multiverse.
He was now the Supreme Divinity of the entire Marvel-verse; it meant that all the Gods in infinite worlds of Marvel had their divinity from him. He was their source. That was a very big shift in entire reality, were the very meaning of Divinity changed.
He also felt connected to a new entity, one responsible for creating Gods in all the Marvel Universes.
The Demiurge.
' So, how should I tackle this? ', he thought, one might think being Nigh-Omniscience he should use the strategies created by past, present and future.
He can be the greatest strategist- Alas, this is Marvel, where a Universe getting destroyed is normal, realities colliding is every Tuesday, and multiverse getting rebooted on every New Year's Eve.
Anything that will go wrong- Will go wrong. So, there is no need for something extremely fancy. The only way one can be sure in Marvel is to be God of Omnipotents.
Even if he meets an Omnipotent being, they should be able to not defeat him, only then he can be said to invincible. That's how broken this verse is. ' Though I wonder if I can travel to other verses ', he thought.
There was time when DC verse interacted with Marvel verse, so such a thinking wasn't far-fetched.
' For now, let's meet with him ', he thought.
In his previous' life tiering Demiurge and every being was given an overrated tier. While the tiers somehow were correct in accordance to cosmic hierarchy, their limits were down watered. So Demiurge wasn't a High-Outervesal being.
...
Just before the moment, Demiurge was about to explode- He stopped. He was going to create Elder Gods, that would lead to a set of whole new chain reactions.
However, a being wanted to meet him. A being that was the very source of his powers. Demiurges were throughout the realities, however, only him was invited to meet him.
He waited for the being to descend and then- he did.
The Universe boiled as a Holy light filled it to the brim, the nearby universes started trembling, All the darkness that existed in the universes started washing off.
As if in the presence of that being, a filthy universe wasn't worthy to bear his existence and the moment he appeared in front of them, an overwhelming aura wash over him.
He was in his Cosmic form, purple lightning crackled around his eyes as he looked at the figure so small before him, yet more radiant than him.
Claded, in a white robe, the being's golden eyes gazed at him.
" Greetings... Your Majesty", after a stretched silent, Demiurge greeted him.
" Demiurge- The God Creator, I am here to witness your creation with my own eyes", the being said, in an androgynous tone.
" I guess I am lucky- To have you as a witness to my actions", Demiurge said his size shrinking till he was same size as Rimuru.
" Your actions will lead to the creations of Pantheons of Gods, you will become their father yet the most less known of all Gods- Barely a title to your name... An unfair result", Rimuru said.
Demiurge became silent, as he pondered about the beings' words. He was a God, with a different mindset from the humans, thus Rimuru's words were something he didn't even care about- However if the words were spoken by him... It carried a weight that he must answer to.
" I will give you a choice- Become my direct subordinate and I shall grant you the title of Primordial Demiurge", Rimuru said finally getting a reaction from the being.
Indeed, he was the birth point of all Gods in Marvel; however, Divinity was present in other forms as well. There were other beings throughout the multiverse holding concept of Divinity partially.
Not to mention even if he is one of the strongest beings, becoming subordinate to the Supreme Divinity was a good choice. He understood that unlike other beings, Supreme Divinity had no need to divide himself among countless universes, as him and other beings did that job.
That made him the strongest of all Cosmic Embodiments, unless the Cosmic Gods want to destabilize the entire Marvel Multiverse, or potentially destroy it, they can never exert their true strength only Supreme Divinity can do it freely.
A few seconds passed, though it seemed an eternity to the God Creator. Finally, he replied," I accept"
A smile formed on Rimuru's face, he decided to have direct or indirect involvement in Marvel Multiverse, since whether he participates or not, world-ending events are going to come. So why not embrace the chaos and try to make something out of it?
There were too many strong hidden beings, and all of them somehow connect to a singular point- A floating ball of dirt in the vast universe. So, he must claim a portion of it!
" Good, go and create them", he said, and Demiurge nodded and exploded his power, purple lightning fell on Earth. From the Earth were born multiple Elder Gods.
Among them the most prominent were Gaea, Oshtur, Set, Chthon, Utgard-Loki, Toranos, etc. The newly born Elder Gods lacking any knowledge curiously gazed at each other.
" In my name of Raphael, God of Wisdom. I shall bestow the Elder Gods with knowledge", he said, while he used the name of his ability, in actuality he used divinity.
Soon their gazes were filled with wisdom and intelligence as they looked in the skies, on their Creator.
Rimuru satisfied with them, looked at Demiurge," Let them be witness, and I shall grant you a title."
" I shall bestow you the title of Primordial Demiurge", Rimuru said and then huge amounts of watered-down version of Every thingness escaped from his body and merged with Demiurge.
' This! ', Demiurge's eyes widened as the unknown energy merged with him. He had the power of creation- and now with energy of Creation, he directly became a Mid-Multiversal being, however if he wants, he can use a single full-powered blow of High-Multiversal level capable of easily destroying a trillion universes at once.
This was watered down version of Energy of Everythingness, that surpassed Cosmic energy, only the purest of Cosmic energies rivalled it.
One thing he guessed, Rimuru has probably most potent type of energy in all of Marvel, which is turn Null, the power of Nothingness itself. Though some other beings too used powers of Nothingness in Marvel, so he wasn't very sure.
' As expected, being the highest God of Creation, his powers were boosted so significantly. If he merges with his past, and future alternate selves, he can probably ascend to a lower complex multiversal being ', Rimuru thought.
Getting such a subordinate off the bat, was pretty good deal. He also had a soul corridor with him, which meant that Demiurge just like Primordial Daemons now resided in his existence and could be resurrected even if he were to die.
Demiurge's body changed to that of an old man wearing butler's uniform. Immense respect, and loyalty shined in his eyes as he looked at Rimuru.
Rimuru then turned towards Elder Gods," I have created Primordial Daemons to balance the existence- so remember never get too arrogant", he gave them a warning.
" Let's leave, Demiurge", the God Creator, now butler nodded and vanished from the universe.
Meanwhile Primordial Gods looked at them in awe, before taking off their focus. While wisdom was granted to them, they were still newborns and thus started meeting to each other.
...
Years, passed by as the Demon World developed, a strict hierarchy was established in Demon World, with Primordials at the top. After their master, brought Demiurge a fire to surpass him and get in the eyes of Rimuru rose amongst them.
Thus, they competed with each other, quickly breaking through Low Multiversal Level, the strongest of them Diablo and the only male could easily destroy thousands of Universes with a full-powered blow.
Thankfully the Demon World was an extremely strong world, so even the blows that could annihilate universes, merely destroyed planets as they engaged in battles.
All the Primordial Demons had a single goal, which was to impress Rimuru, and become his maid or butler in Diablo's case.
Only he knows how much he is jealous upon seeing Demiurge tending to Rimuru's needs such as making him coffee or cleaning up his castle.
Arch Daemons meanwhile had the goal to become the right-hand man of their respective Primordial Demons, and they too fought each other in regular basis, some had even ascended to Universe destroyers by now.
It is not they hadn't thought of becoming Rimuru's direct subordinate but rather didn't dare to lest they invite wrath of Primordials.
One Arch Daemon wanted to become Rimuru's subordinate surpassing his creator, upon realizing this Lady Rogue, destroyed him in most painful way.
According to her, a mere insect shouldn't dare to compete with them for Lord Rimuru's attention, they overstepped their boundaries.
Only Primordial Demons considered other Primordial demons equal to them, others were just lesser to them. Thus, no one dared to overstep their boundaries after that.
Rimuru had done another important thing, he established the ranks of Divinities.
They were divided into two ranks: Divinity and Authorities, with latter being superior.
Authorities were only given to Primordial Demons, and the worthy Arch-Demons. Lower Demons used Elemental and Demonic Magics.
Divinities were given to all Gods; thus, a God was generally a higher-ranking being than a Demon, however Demon Dukes, Arch-Demons or Demon Kings surpassed them. As for Primordials, even the strongest Elder Gods can't damage the hair on them.
Since Authorities overpowered divinities completely. There was also a special type of Divinity, known as Divine Protections.
It could be granted by Gods or Demons to lower beings to make them Demi-Gods, they were too divided into Lesser Divine Protection, Major Divine Protection, and the highest rank simply referred as Divine Protection.
He took the idea of Divine Protection from Re Zero,' If someday I can go to that verse, I will help poor Natsuki ', he thought. Leave out bitches, he is an Isekai protagonist that can't catch a breath and dies repeatedly.
He gave a silent prayer to Natsuki's soul, hoping he gets his good ending.
(A/N: When you are literal God and still pray for someone...)
' Anyway, the Elder Gods have started getting arrogant', he thought as his sight crossed realities and gazed upon Earth. Elder Gods are galaxy destroyers at minimum, and strongest of them can destroy galaxy clusters. Thus, it is no wonder they have started getting arrogant.
' I wonder if I should strip them of their divinity', he thought, after all it would be funny if they are ruling over other beings and are stripped of their entire divinity.
' Well not now- Anyway it seems the war isn't far away ', he thought. Elder Gods have created several lesser gods, out of which there are many outstanding Gods.
Once the war ends, Elder God's history is put on a stop and Gaea starts whoring around, various pantheons will be born.
' It will be soon', he was eagerly waiting for the future events to unfold.
To be continued...
