How does it feels like to get twice as strong at every passing second?
How it feels when you receive energy equivalent to an infinite multiverse every second?
That's how Rimuru feels each passing moment, his powers double every second thanks to his Reactive Evolution. It seems just by existing in Marvel Multiverse he is evolving and adapting, becoming stronger.
However, despite that he still hasn't broken the limit of a High-Complex Multiversal Being. His Magicule Breedor Reactor creates a Universe's worth of Stardust every second. And a few grams of it can turn a galaxy into dust, if used smartly can destroy an entire Universe.
This is how strong he is; his condition seems a lower version of Protege and Rimuru hopes he will become Omnipotent with time, still he needed to survive till then.
Thus, Dark Gods plotting against him proved to be a threat. It was Marvel and despite being a Cosmic Entity he can be harmed if he doesn't use his independent abilities.
While his calculations tell they can't even scratch him, however precaution was a must, especially considering they were Eldritch Horrors.
That's why he finally decided for the God-Eater or Atum Ra to be born like it was meant to be. " Demiurge- Give her your essence", he said feeling a bit weird saying, ' essence'.
" Though remember to only provide energy enough to destroy the threats of Elder Gods, not to make him a Multiversal being", he added at last, previously he waited for Demiurge to finish creating Elder Gods to bless him, lest he creates beings that break balance.
He didn't want to create a devourer that will destroy entire reality.
" As you command M'Lord, I shall provide her only the essence at weaker level of my previous self", he said and got next to Gaea, and held her hand.
"~Ahh!~", she moaned as his divinity flowed into him, converting into essence and ultimately impregnating her. Rimuru's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the next level impregnation,' Women do get pregnant my holding hands! ', he joked in his mind.
A life brewed inside her, and Gaea rubbed her slightly bulging belly," I can't express my gratitude for this blessing. With this child, I will be able to save not only us... but the creatures of Earth, especially Mammals!", she said excitedly.
She loved Mammals more than the Reptiles like Dinosaurs created by Set, since Mammals were closer to nature than the aggressive reptiles and had greater evolutionary talent than reptiles.
Demiurge nodded not at all excited by this development, yes... He impregnated his daughter. So what? This said daughter is going to whore around creating all Pantheons except Hindu, Biblical and Egyptian Pantheons.
Heck she will create Devas of Hindu Pantheon by whoring, so one can only say she wasn't a faithful wife at all. Thus, he didn't consider her to be his wife at all, just a one-time necessary fling, which was just literally handholding.
After thanking Rimuru and Demiurge, she quickly returned to Earth and escaped to the core of the Earth to give birth to Atum.
...
In a Dimension where time didn't exist, where space was a twisted mess. Dwelled the devourer of realities, polluters of the worlds, corrupters of the universes.
Dark Gods, themselves gathered in a meeting. To discuss about the war, that they are about to wage against Supreme Divinity and Primordial Daemons.
" My brethren it is time we show those filthy Primordial Daemons and their creator, why we are called Dark Gods!", said Yog-Sothoth, his body a mess of tentacles, with eyes throughout his body.
" Will Yahweh and other Gods-Before-Creation won't join us?", Nyarlathotep asked from Yog-Sothoth, who turned towards Azatharoth.
" Other Gods-Before-Creation are either Neutral or support Supreme Divinity, and unfortunately Yahweh is amongst them", the Eldritch horror spoke.
" Are we sure about this war? We will be going against a Cosmic Entity", asked an Other God with worry. Many snickered at her.
" It isn't as if we haven't killed Cosmic Entities before!", said Shuma-Gorath, he had a single large eyes, and dozens of tentacles protruding out from his body.
" Not to mention this war isn't an option, either we unite and face Primordial Daemons, or die from their onslaught", said Yog-Sothoth.
This was true, facing Primordial Daemons, meant facing their creator, Supreme Divinity. Not to mention, the birth of Supreme Divinity hasn't been at all advantageous for them, rather their enemies, the Good Gods have been strengthened.
' We either usurp the powers of Supreme Divinity or die trying it ', Yog-Sothoth concluded, it was a war that they had to win.
As the discussion went on, suddenly they sensed the Dimension they were being invaded by other beings.
" Primordial Daemons! They are here! Alongside their Army!", shouted an servant of an Eldritch horror, the faces of the beings changed.
" It seems we need to begin the war!", Yog-Sothoth said, it didn't matter how the Primordial Daemons got the news or their plan of attacking first failed.
They needed to fight against the invaders and kill them at all cost. " Let's begin the war!", Yog-Sothoth commanded, and the Great Old Ones under him, quickly gathered together under his commanders like Shuma-Gorath and Chuthulu.
" The World of Temptation!", Noir quickly used his abilities, his Authority of Temptation rewrote reality, converting the dimension into its own. Meanwhile the Great Old One looked at his stripped control over the dimension horrified.
Dimension Lords were feared throughout the multiverse for a reason, even if Dimensional lords can gain or lose their territory, it involved some basic principles, most of which was strength.
However, even then there was a set procedure to achieve that, what Noir did was simply rewrite the entire reality to his will. The powers of Great Old Ones were weakened by 20% putting them at a great disadvantage.
Next moment Noir teleported in front of a Great Old One and ripped him apart with his metallic claws. " Oh, what a weakling-Not surviving a second", he mocked and teleported again.
Teleportation wasn't something uncommon for Dimensional Lords, however a teleportation has a delay as it formed passage of space-time.
However, Noir's teleportation was instantaneous, granting him infinite speed.
Thus, the situation became that he easily slaughtered Great Old Ones, while their attacks couldn't touch him. After all, how can they attack something that has infinite speed, Thought Acceleration, Parallel Minds and Freaking All of Creation?
They needed to play smartly to deal with it, however, it wasn't easy. As there were six Primordial Daemons than other Noir that they had to deal with, and even forty-nine Arch-Demons proved to be a formidable foe.
Following the Arch-Demons were the Demon Dukes each being a Galaxy buster, thus a war of imaginable scale broke.
Spatial layers broke apart, with holes all over the time-space continuum. The power that leaked out of Arch-Daemons destroyed several universes in a few minutes.
Lady Rogue meanwhile used her Authority of Pride to instantly copy the Outer Gods' ability and merge them together to form a stronger ability for herself.
She also had the ability to teleport instantaneous due to the courtesy of her Authority of Pride, other than granting curses to enemies it can copy any Divine Ability, even Authorities alas only one-third of their full capabilities.
Thus, she was the most versatile Primordial Daemon and second strongest after Noir, she used various means to attack her opponents, depriving them of any chance to defend.
Then came Blanc, with her Authority of Dead World she gained complete Authority over any being that entered her domain; thus, the enemies that went closer to her were instantly killed as they were granted the Concept of Death.
" Arghhh!!!!", Azatharoth roared in anger as he attacked Jaune, who used her Authority of Destruction to attack with ruptures of time-space itself. Despite her advantage with the possesion of Authority of Destruction, she was actually losing.
' Damn it! Why doesn't this guy die?! ', she thought with anger and quickly destroyed Dimensionality of Space he was in, reducing it to a zero dimension, yet all odds the being spurt forth from singularity destroying the Dimensionality attack.
It would have killed any Cosmic Entity clone, Eternity and full powered Galactus clone included, however the Eldritch being defied the constraints of reality, laws of physics imposed by Yahweh.
" It seems you are in trouble", suddenly Violet came to help him, seeing Azatharoth she instantly realized he was a formidable foe. She quickly used her Authority of Deadly Poison, releasing a poison that could kill Cosmic Entities clones.
It wasn't just her; Vert and Bleu joined the two of them and finally they were able to suppress Azatharoth.
Against Azatharoth it was the greatest insult he could ever see, four mere Low Multiversal Beings were suppressing him! Despite him being the peak of Mid-Multiversal, capable of destroying Billions of worlds, however he was being suppressed by beings lower than him, and where they lacked in quantity of their powers, they compensated with quality of their powers achieving this feat.
The fight which seemed one-sided finally started gaining equilibrium. Dark Gods had a higher number of Mid-Multiversal beings as compared to Primordial Daemons. Although Primordial Daemons' Lady Rogue and Noir were much stronger than almost all of them.
Azatharoth, Yog-Sothoth and Nyarlathotep were equivalent to them, with Shuma-Gorath, Chuthulu and many other Other Gods and a few Great Old Ones were in mid-multiversal tier.
This the odds started turning into their favour, as finally an Arch-Demon fell followed by the death of several demon Dukes.
The war has finally taken a turn.
...
Meanwhile, Gaea under the safety of future trimurti went to the dimension at the core of the Earth and gave birth to Atum.
The moment he was born, his Divinity repulsed everyone, even Gaea.
Atum was born with the Divinity of Devouring, and thus he was no less than of an Eldritch being. Gaea looked at him slightly worried and then said," You will save this world and creatures from those filthy Gods" and provided him with her milk.
Atum greedily devoured her milk, alongside sucking her vitality out of her. Gaea's milk so potent, that a single drop of it can make any being Immortal and the little greedy Atum drank all of it.
Once his belly was filled to brim, he burped while Gaea looked at her son with twitching eyes. Suddenly Atum started growing, his infant body quickly aged to that of an eleven-year-old boy.
" Mother!", Atum said cheekily and hugged her, and then looked at other three Elder Gods," Uncles!", he said as he pointed at them, and while Brahma was terrified of the power radiating from him, Vishnu and Shiva nodded with a smile.
" He has the Divinity of devouring, thus if he was to devour those Gods, he will grow stronger", Vishnu instantly realized the ability of the Atum, and the best way to utilize it.
" Indeed, however despite being stronger than many degenerated Elder Gods, he has no skills- Thus fighting against even a single one of them will be a challenge for him", said Brahma.
" We can catch a Degenerated Elder God for him to devour, at the same time Brahma as God of Wisdom you will teach him knowledge, and Vishnu, you shall teach him fighting abilities, while I will catch an Elder God", said Shiva.
They nodded and quickly acted accordingly. Brahma and Vishnu started teaching Atum the basics, Gaea meanwhile rested restoring her lost vitality.
Shiva started searching for a weak Elder God, to defeat him and let him be nourishment for Atum. Gaea upon recovering again gave him, her milk to boost his growth.
Thus, under combined efforts of the four Elder Gods, Atum in a few months grew to his adult form, this time his battle prowess surpassing Shiva's slightly.
" Son, your mother pleads to you... Please save this world from those filthy Gods who are committing farticide", she said looking at him with love.
" Do not worry mother, I Atum, Son of Gaea, Disciple of Brahma and Vishnu, on the name of my father and Supreme Divinity! I shall fulfill the duty bestowed upon me", said Atum.
Thus began the nightmare of Elder Gods.
