“In this world, there exist three realms: vaikunta, the divine realm of gods; Bharat khanda, the realm of humans. It is also known as mortal’s realm; and paathala, the dark realm of devils.”
“In the gods realm, vaikunta; gods live with divinity maintaining the divine law. The divine law is a forbidden law to gods. If a god didn’t follow the rule of this law, the fate of all realms will change and the god, who crossed the law will face consequences, in some case, crossing this law leads to their end. This divine law connects to destiny itself. And that law is “no god should interfere in lower realms affairs and they are forbidden to enter other realms without any major order from the lord of universe, lord Vishnu.”
“There are many gods like god of fire, water, lightning, earth, nature, beasts, etc. But there are higher authorities in gods. They are goddess of light, god of war, god of wisdom. There is one deity that stands top among all the gods. He is Vishnu, the lord of universe. His authority is king of the gods. He has the power to see the future and his power is so immense that with his divine presence no one will raise their voice in front of him. He is always righteous, law abided even with his power he is kind to all and a divine figure to everyone. He strictly restricts the gods to not enter into the mortal’s realm to maintain the balance between three realms.”
One day, shoonya; known as the god of war came to lord Vishnu.
“Greetings lord Vishnu”, shoonya greets politely.
“Iam afraid I can’t allow for you want to do shoonya.” Vishnu said to shoonya with a gentle and calm voice.
Shoonya was shocked and asked “lord Vishnu, how do you know what I was talking about?”
“I know everything, shoonya. You want to go to other realms in the search of ruins right?” said Vishnu
[Ruins are part of alien civilizations that are on par with gods but the connection to them and earth were severed so they can’t invade earth and in the ruins some celestial beings and masters hide their weapons and treasures. But these are very hard to obtain. Many powerful beings lost their lives in search of treasures.]
Shoonya was stunned after hearing those words from lord Vishnu.
Confused “lord, can I know why you are not allowing me to go?” shoonya asked.
“Shoonya; I know that you wanted to become powerful. But know this, to achieve something greater, one must sacrifice something greater. Don’t be obsessed with power.” Vishnu replied.
“Lord Vishnu, I did so many things for gods and followed your orders. Please lord; allow me to enter to other realms. I promise I will not interfere in any matters of their realm. I just want to exploit realms and find weapons and hidden treasures. So lord, please allow me to go to the realms.” Shoonya whispered.
“Shoonya, the things you did and the wars you participated are part of your responsibilities. The moment you became a god, you are destined to do those. It’s not my orders. Iam just showing you the path you need to walk. I strictly warn you to not leave god’s realm without any major threat and if you crossed my order now, then you bear the consequences and you will be removed as a god.” Vishnu said.
After that conversation, shoonya left the palace and went to his house.
Three days has passed in the god’s realm.
Shoonya came out of his house and went to the gate of realms.
“It has been three days. I thought about it carefully and I decided to go to the ruins no matter what happens. He doesn’t understand what power means. He had immense power so he doesn’t care about others.” shoonya whispered.
Then he activated the portal and went to human realm.
Vishnu sensed that shoonya crossed the realms.
“He never listens. I already told him that he must bear the consequences. He will eventually meet his end one day.” Vishnu said.
Shoonya entered the secret ruins that aren’t discovered by humans. But there aren’t any treasures that he wants.
“Why? Why there aren’t any powerful ones? Looks like the treasures that I need isn’t appear in this realm. Maybe I can’t expect such power in this mortal’s realm. What if I search the devils realm instead? I am the god of war. No devil would stand in my way.”
As he was about to enter the devil’s realm, he was kneeled to the ground by an immense pressure.
“Who is it? How dare you to stand in the way of god?” shoonya shouted with rage
Lord Vishnu appeared in his spiritual form.
“Shoonya; you crossed the law. Now you are no longer a god. You don’t have authority in god’s realm and you need to accept your fate now. As you done many good things to preserve peace, as your well wisher, I advise you to not to go to devils realm. The darkness and pure evil lies everywhere in that realm.” Vishnu whispered to shoonya and disappeared.
“What is he thinking? How dare he remove me as a god? I will become strong and prove to you that power means everything my lord.” Shoonya declared with pride and arrogance.
Shoonya went to devil’s realm paathala. Many devils came to stop him but he is slicing them one by one. He searched for ruins but there aren’t any ruins in his sight and in his surroundings.
“Why is here isn’t any ruins? Maybe I need to go deeper and watch if there is any.”
He explored deeper but noting appeared in his sight except devils and darkness.
“My time is wasted. I lost my authority as a god to explore the ruins. I didn’t found any suitable weapons and treasures in that human’s realm and I expected that at least in this devils realm, I can get what I want but here; there isn’t a single ruin appeared except those filthy devils. Maybe I should go back this trip isn’t worth.”
As he was ready to turn back, an unknown voice spoke to him.
“Shoonya, why are you going back? You lost your place as a god, faces many hardships but you didn’t get what you want. Why don’t you search deeper? Maybe there is a powerful ruin is waiting for you to explore.” That unknown voice whispered to shoonya.
Shoonya was shocked because he didn’t sense any devil in his surroundings but that voice keeps ringing in his head.
“Who are you? Why are giving that advice to me?” shoonya asked
“I am nothing but a guide that show right path to the lost ones. Trust me; there is a ruin that has powerful hidden treasures and weapons.” The voice spoke to shoonya.
Shoonya gave it some thought and decided to go back.
“This place is so dangerous. And I don’t know what lies there. So I should leave this realm and explore the human’s realm deeper.”
As he was leaving the realm, that voice appeared again.
“Shoonya, you had immense power and you are a god of war. Why are you turning your back? Are you afraid?” it started to manipulate shoonya.
Shoonya want to leave the realm but his pride and arrogance stopped him. As he was obsessed with power and hidden treasures he went even deeper in the paathala.
As he was going deeper, he sensed a ruin that covered with darkness and some high grade devils are guarding that ruin.
“I am sensing a power from that ruin. The power that could make even the gods trembles. I should go and explore that ruin.” Shoonya said.
He killed the devils and entered the ruin.
In the ruin, there are many unnatural beasts and devils that are on par with shoonya. But due his strong will to get power he faced those monsters and reached to final floor but in the final there is no signal of life. The entire floor is covered with darkness. As he moving forward there is a pitch black sword with a vertical red crystal like a layer was forged on it. That sword is overwhelming with shadows and darkness.
As he moving closer to that sword, he was frightened by its killing intent first. But later he heard the voice. That voice told him to draw the sword by breaking the chains and seals.
“Why are you still waiting? You came to this floor by facing many hardships. Draw that sword. Break those chains and seals and the great powers will be yours.” It forced shoonya to draw that sword.
He broke the chains that binding the sword and removed the seals and drew the sword. As he drew that sword; darkness has covered his body and that sword keeps increasing his desires to peak turning him into pure evil. After some time he absorbed the darkness in his body completely and converted the darkness into a powerful armor.
“I am feeling the power that overwhelming in my body. I don’t know what is happening but I can feel that this sword and I became one. Now I will see who wills stand against me. With my power, I can make gods tremble.” A sinister laugh escaped shoonya’s lips.
Within a few minutes, he is filled with his evil desires.
I am on par with Vishnu now. I will make him pay for what he did to me. But before that I will make this realm as my kingdom and I will be the one to rule this.
He left the ruins and started to build his own kingdom. Within a month with his powers he made all devil generals and the former king submit to him. He made every devil as a soldier in his army.
His right hand, the devil general, lucifero came to him.
“My lord, all preparations for the battle has finished. We are waiting for your command.”
“Tell the army to move. Let the gods know that god of desires is coming to kill them.” Shoonya gave his order to lucifero.
In that way the god of war left his divinity and chose darkness and became god of desires.
