Chapter 5

  My my my even though I do not need to eat I must say these poke’bowls are delectable the blending of savory salty and a hint of sweetness from all meld together near perfectly in a symphony of flavors.

  They really do take the edge off and help me destress. But I still have a ton of questions like I get some of it now but what can I do these are literal Eldritch Gods I’m just me.

  Yes you are just you or least you were just you as it stands technically your on the lower end but still within parameters to be considered on par with a Great Old One. And your power is still growing, with a little bit of my help of course.

  Wow I really did not realize I had amassed such a huge amount of knowledge and power but I still don’t get what you want me to do if your still so much more powerful then me other then when you mentioned that I would be your successor not long ago that boggles my mind how could I even possible replace you and for what purpose.

  Were getting close to me explaining that but for know let pick back up where we left off. First lets go over the hierarchy of eldritch beings which are as follows

  The Supreme One - Azathoth - AKA-The Blind Idiot God – He that which represents near infinite power he was at one point Infinite but sharing power to create others sacrifices some of his own power but for all extensive purposes dam near infinite.

  Ultimate Outer Gods – Yog_Sothoth, Shub_Niggurath and Nyarlanthotep just to name a few these are direct servants who stay loyal to Azathoth but also wish to keep him in a stupor as they carry out there own schemes,

  Ultimate Elder God – Xhy_Lo_Wracth I am the only one within my own class but I am the equivalent to the Ultimate Outer Gods in terms of power.

  Outer Gods – Abhoth, Ubbo-Sathla, Yug and Yeb to name some much less powerful than there ultimate counterparts but no less deadly they sever directly under the Ultimate's

  Elder Gods – Osiris, Hastur, Hypnos and Amaterasu to name some are the equals to the outer gods as such I do converse and share information freely with these beings as are goals similarly align with each other.

  Great-Old-Ones – Dagon, Cthugha and Cthulhu probably the most infamous and unusual among the old ones not quite as powerful as an Ultimate but vastly more powerful then the Outers most old ones are no where near as powerful but he seems to be an exception to this rule.

  Great Elder Ones – Bastet, Ulthar, Orryx and Kthanid the most powerful among the elder ones and Cthulhu’s twin brother the complete opposite of his brother but also rivals him in power.

  Elder/Old Things - These are on the bottom of the power list but dangerous nonetheless most are nameless simple mindless servants but there are some exception to this.

  I never realized but some these gods I'm familiar with at least in name like Bastet isn't she an egyption goddess? Are all gods real? Dam the Hierarchy is insane.

  To answer your question Yes and No some gods are real by name some use multiple name and are the same being like Hypnos the Greek god of sleep when in reality hes also Hades, the grim reaper, Father time to name a few all these names are to the same god. You’ll start to get the hang of it and understand as you start to learn of the many gods.

  Now for what you’ve been asking for why you simple I need a humans perspective on my own goals which is to liberate control of all of creation from Azathoth for every reality, prime or splintering reality I grow stronger and Azathoth grows weaker. However I'm currently in a stalemate.

  As stated Azathoth is most powerful and I simply cannot just take it away next to the blind idiot god I am limited on what I can do many time when it appeared I would win I was stalemated not by Azathoth but … well I guess you could call him my Nemesis (Nyarlanthotep) The Crawling Chaos if any of Azathoths creations could be considered an offspring/child even though we all are technically a byproduct it would be him. Loyal and Chaotic to a fault he was always his favorite and does his Creators bidding without question.

  How are you almost able to almost win but then not win.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  The first time I tried resting control from Azathoth mostly out of intrigue and curiosity to see if it could be done I found out I could through manipulation of his dreams I could take control of his power but even a tiny bit is still a sip of water compared to his near limitless power. Azathoth found out through Nyarlanthotep who whispered to Azathoth that I could slowly start taking away his power. So what does he do he decided to make a game out of it. Whether he’s fully aware of this or simply thinks its part of his dream state is not known. But he challenged me to find Nyarlanthotep in a reality of his choosing he will disguise himself all I have to do is confront him but I have only one chance if I succeed that reality is mine to control if I loose it is forever closed off to me from acquiring it and adding its power to my own.

  So it’s just a game of hide and seek? Seems like there should be more to it then that.

  Ohhh my apologies there is a little more to it then that. I did mention I have to find him in a reality of his choosing I know which reality but thats it. Simply speaking I have spent billions sometimes trillions of years to find him in just one reality and when I do find him its as simple as saying Hello Nyarlanthotep and I’ve won that round.

  Trillions dam a really long time to be looking for him.

  Yes but the ends justify the means less power to Azathoth and one less reality he can destroy if he were to ever awaken if I were to overtake him in power then even if he did wake up no reality's would be destroyed basically something like this 50.1% Vs 49.9% is what I need to be well the new supreme one at least thats how I saw it initially but over the many reality and years that have gone by I started to develop a fondness for life in general for plants, animals, sentient and non-sentient life really started to change me. I spent more time learning and understanding creation then I did with looking for Nyarlanthotep.

  It was in that instant that I realized my purpose not a purposes bestowed onto me but what I wanted and that was the preservation of life of all existence to continue own on its own accord so I could continue to learn and observe what I had grown fond of. Over the countless fall and rising of new multiverses I realized something I was in a stalemate nether gaining ground nor loosing it. So I pondered and pondered what I could do and then it hit realization set in why not have agents that could work for me that saw things as I saw them.

  So I started to conspire with the other elder gods gifting information and knowledge was shared and we started gaining ground again but as always I was countered again by Nyarlanthotep who also struck deals not just with other gods but with mortals with promises of knowledge and power so we came to a standstill again. Why...Why couldn’t I find a counter to Nyarlanthotep in all my knowledge all my connections I exhausted myself he literally copied me at every term he even made deals with mortals granting vast power to thwart my attempts.

  So with my knowledge and all the information that I had acquired I stilled myself and pondered who knows for how long I honestly lost track well beyond human comprehension and so I came to a conclusion the problem was me or more importantly what I lacked for I have no comprehension of right or wrong of life or death so I decided that is what I needed to completely understand emotions and concepts of time and space from the perspective of a human so for the first time since I was created I sent off a portion of myself to be reborn as a human to experience all of what it means to be a human.

  So you allowed yourself to be reborn as a human? What happened to this part of you did it learn anything?

  Yes...yes I did just not what i wanted to learn and understand.

  I learned I was still not able to comprehend human level of thinking and limited time of existence. While I still gained very valuable information it was not what I truly needed but the experience in itself was enlightening I developed a fondness for taste and flavors of the many exquisite experiences with food. So I went back to pondering and decided to try a different approach instead I decided to find and mold a human child at the conception at birth and gave a partial amount of my own power to the child to develop in a way I could potentially mold in my own essence and power.

  Let me guess this individual did not meet your expectations as he was still to limited?

  On the contrary he did and this individual for the most part was in every way just human he had a biological mother and father but had a 3rd parent me that was slowly and meticulously guiding him unseen until a very recent event almost undid all the time and effort I spent on him so it was at this time I decided to...what the human saying...Fast track his progress.

  So what happened to h.i..m….???? ME!!! your the one who as been guiding me YOU?!?!?!?!….I..I need to sit down this… I don’t even….what?….

  Calm yourself child I knew this would confuse and potentially put you in a state of shock but I had promised to tell you everything and would not under any circumstance keep any secrets from you. I chose you to be not just my representative but my connection my child that would work with me to preserve and maintain all creation and existence. If you choose to keep going forward with me and your mentor your teacher you’ll learn and progress until you on equal terms of power with me and in that time you will not just be my protege you will be the new XHY-LO-(WRACTH)!

  When do I start?

  Know if you wish it!
