Verse and Dimensions: Stories
Omnarin very rarely sees any reason why they should explain their actions to other people and so, when doing strange and confusing things out of curiosity and boredom, will almost never actually explain why, making people even more confused. Omnarin finds the constant confusion they cause very funny and so intentionally leans into it and does even more confusing things just to get a reaction. Due to their constant lack of urgency, Omnarin will commonly completely forget to fully engage with a task and realize only later how extremely important it probably was, before not explaining to Kalyutim at all why they didn't properly engage. Their constant inability to stay focused combined with their lack of devotion to their job completely outrages Kalyutim who will then unnecessarily and violently insult Omnarin for metahours. Omnarin doesn't really mind the insults though and knows Kalyutim doesn't really mean it, so they usually just let him shout for a bit before carrying on with the conversation.
Omnarin respects Kalyutim a lot and considers him a competent leader with noble goals, however often questions whether he really needs to work as hard as he does and thinks some of his constant exhaustion is self-inflicted. Similarly, Omnarin sees Tracidel as an intelligent Supergod with a lot of potential but one who spends far too much metatime focusing on minor social details she believes will impact how people see her, despite having no real idea what social cues actually make Supergods believe certain things. Omnarin also believes her obsession with them and Kalyutim is completely irrational, as is her hatred of the currently stranded Council members. While Omnarin does fully agree with Kalyutim that Tracidel shouldn't be trusted with any real power, he will often accidentally give her influence over Beyond she absolutely can't manage properly due to Omnarin not paying enough attention to what she is asking for and receiving. This makes Kalyutim want to scream.
Omnarin enjoys interacting with mortals and Monocosmic Gods as their lower levels of Omniscience make them far easier to confuse with his strange and abstract antics. She understands that mortals definitely do count as sentient creatures but doesn't equate their lives with Supergod lives whatsoever in the way Kalyutim and Logixel do, treating them closer to how humans treat animals. While Omnarin almost never actually kills mortals themselves, they don't really tend to mind when other Supergods or Monocosmic Gods choose to.
Tracidel
Tracidel is a passionate and loyal but emotional and paranoid Supergod, currently working as a member of Kalyutim's 'Emergency Supergod Council' within a parallel version of Beyond inside Transcendentem-Tc, along with her sibling Omnarin. Tracidel is the fifth child of Conceptilum and Matharin and the official "second in command" of the Council.
Information
Tracidel was born slightly after the Collapse and was raised by Kalyutim, who took a much more active role in her upbringing after considering his hands-off approach to raising Omnarin to be a failure. Kalyutim never actually took a break from his work whatsoever when raising Tracidel, resulting in her often getting wrapped up in his insane and dangerous antics. This left Tracidel highly dependent on Kalyutim to protect her from the dangers of their Beyond Bubble, and the constant threat to her life developed into a deep hatred of the people she believed caused this mess: The former Council, and her two oldest brothers; Paradoxus and Logixel.
Tracidel has very extreme social anxiety due to an abundance of Ci within her Godsmoke (often referred to as 'Yellow Supergod Syndrome') alongside other factors, making her consistently worried that she is an awful person and believing everyone around her will hate her for it. The thought that Kalyutim and Omnarin especially might secretly think negatively of her is a truly terrifying thought and one that prompts her to consistently try and prove to them that she's a totally reasonable person who thinks both of them are absolutely amazing by showering them with more praise than any two Supergods in metahistory reasonably deserve. Tracidel idolizes Kalyutim and Omnarin to an extreme extent; having convinced herself that they are near-perfect Supergods due to her dependency on them.
Equally, Tracidel also demonizes and vilifies the entirety of the former Council, including her parents and two oldest siblings. She hasn't actually met them and barely knows anything about them, but she knows they left her and the two people she looks up to most in this awful, awful situation and that's apparently good enough reason in her mind to act like they're terrible. Tracidel thinks Kalyutim is making a horrible mistake by trying to rescue them, believing they will only make Beyond worse and thinking the best option for mortals, gods and Supergods alike is to simply leave them to their own devices. Kalyutim struggles to properly convey how angry this makes him.
Tracidel's poor understanding of social interactions causes her to completely miss the mark when trying to convince her older siblings of her "reasonableness" and "respectfulness" and instead results in her just making a fool of herself. Kalyutim and Omnarin don't actually dislike Tracidel to any extent, but believe she has remarkably poor judgement and her constant unreasonable attempts to be 'accepted' absolutely don't help with this.
In stark contrast to Omnarin, Tracidel remains exceedingly passionate about restoring and improving the Council's Beyond Bubble and seeks to help out as much as she possibly can. Kalyutim greatly appreciates this enthusiasm and considers it a welcome change from Omnarin's approach however also believes if Tracidel were given any real power, things would go horribly wrong very quickly indeed. However, Tracidel's low self-worth and fear that everyone hates her results in her interpreting Kalyutim's limits on her power as proof that he secretly hates her and wants to see her fail. (This often ends with Tracidel breaking down crying about how much of a worthless heap of Aynysys waste she is.) Kalyutim has thus decided on a compromise of granting Tracidel high levels of de jure power while secretly limiting her actual level of influence. Given that Omnarin really doesn't mind having a low rank in a Council they're not all that devoted to, Kalyutim often gives many official titles in the Council to Tracidel while giving all the actual jobs and tasks to Omnarin.
Tracidel in theory has high opinions of mortals, believing them to be fully independent and intelligent creatures (something she mostly picked up from Kalyutim), however very often gets extremely upset with mortals who aren't aware how important it is to not upset her, or who don't realize what might happen if they harshly criticize Kalyutim or Omnarin. This results in Tracidel getting irrationally angry and on some occasions accidentally murdering some large number of mortals. This only contributes to her exceedingly low opinion of herself, something she absolutely does not need to worsen.
Tc-Hellensoerensen
Inhabitants
The Supergod Council, numerous mortals
Tc-Hellensoerensen is the wreckage of what was once an exceedingly powerful automaton used by the Supergod Council, previously capable of utilizing rare variants of Trosinium to turn Omnipotent^2 and Omnipotent^3 inputs into Omnipotent^4 outputs. The automaton was heavily damaged during the Collapse and is now completely non-functional. However, the wreckage remains extremely durable and the rare Trosinium previously powering it, extremely useful and valuable. As such, the Supergods stranded in Transcendentem during the Collapse were able to transform the wreckage into makeshift home, shielding them from the effects of the surrounding Breaker's Slime.
History
Hellensoerensen's intended purpose was to serve as the Supergod equivalent of a battle mech, piloted by six Supergods and acting as a single, unified entity far more powerful than any threats the Council may encounter. Hellensoerensen was not the first automaton of its type and was inspired by previous similar efforts by both the Supergod Coalition and the Followers of Nali. But while previous designs sought to replicate the strength of an average Lesser Guardian and required eight pilots, a fully-complete Hellensoerensen could easily surpass the power of its predecessors with just six. Unfortunately, Hellensoerensen would never be fully completed, as the unfinished and vulnerable automaton was crippled when exposed to large quantities of Breaker's Slime, rendering it completely immobile for large quantities of metatime. While the members of the Supergod Council stranded inside do have plans to attempt to restore its functionality, they rely on extremely generous calculations, would take incredibly large amounts of metatime to complete and cannot be relied upon to definitely work. As such, for now all they can do is their best to survive inside of it.
Functionality
While the large waves of Breaker's Slime completely destroyed the functionality of the device, the material it was made out of was still very much intact and the automaton remained structurally sound, making it an ideal method of survival for the stranded Supergods inside it. Due to being logically solid, Hellensoerensen cannot contain anywhere near as much information as a Beyond Bubble and so had to be altered highly by the Supergod Council before becoming a viable shelter. Over metatime, small amounts of Cora were replicated and redistributed across the wreckage to make it more habitable, and the Supergods learned to condense the information composing their physical form, making them "smaller" from the perception of a human and allowing them to more easily traverse the densely-packed wreckage.
Inhabitants
For reasons the Supergod Council are not entirely sure of, Hellensoerensen also contains a large mortal population. It is thought to be likely that a (comparatively) small number of mortals were present within Hellensoerensen when it exited beyond, and over metatime their civilizations greatly expanded in number without attracting the attention of the Supergods until they were far too prevalent not to notice. The quantity of mortals and small -verses present is comparable to the contents of multiple Omniverses combined, however instead of being organized into Omniverses, they are scattered haphazardly into smaller metric Archverses of varying size. Supergods such as Paradoxus and Xenixel initially argued for exterminating the mortal 'infestation', but were eventually convinced otherwise by Supergods such as Conceptilum and Abstractil. While most Supergods have just ignored the mortals, others such as Empiroxus and Logixel have very positive relations with them and are popular enough to be considered 'leaders' of some sort.
Five of Hellensoerensen's six core modules are taken up by reformatted weapons technology now used to stabilize the wreckage and small Ultraverses and Archverses housing large quantities of mortal life, however the sixth module of the automaton has a different purpose. Views on how to deal with Peralitus after his attempts on Matharin and Empiroxus's lives were varied, ranging from "let's just forgive him, I'm sure he's a good person at heart" from Logixel to "we must execute him now, or we'll all die in this cramped tin can" from Matharin and Xenixel. (Although with very differing wording and levels of persuasion between the two.) Ultimately, it was decided to turn the sixth module of Hellensoerensen into a 'prison' of sorts for Peralitus, monitored very closely by the other Supergods. Over metatime, as restrictions have been eased, Peralitus has been allowed to exit his 'prison' for short periods of metatime and interact with the rest of the wreckage, although only under constant Omnipotent^3 surveillance. (Usually specifically Empiroxus or Abstractil, as nobody really trusts Conceptilum to do it properly and Abstractil is pretty sure that if left alone with him, Xenixel might just murder Peralitus.)
Lore
This is a story involving an alternate version of The SuperGod Council and its origins. It is recommended you read both hyperlinked pages for the necessary context of this story.
Chapter 1: The Collapse
This version of the Supergod Council was formed by an Omnipotent^3 and Omniscient^3 entity known as Xenixel, well known within the local Beyond Bubble Cohort as an exceedingly powerful and influential Supergod who valued order, subordination, coordination, unity, selfless actions, and consideration of consequences. Xenixel considered both the nearby Lesser Guardians and the wider Supergod Coalition to be the exact opposite of this philosophy and resented their control over the Cohort. His growing hatred of the Coalition's practices combined with his terrifying visions of an upcoming Beyond Bubble Collapse prompted him to turn the incredibly large and stable Beyond Bubble he had control over into a bastion of order and stability which would withstand the upcoming Collapse. The Supergod Council was founded to be a collection of Supergods hand-picked by Xenixel to survive the Collapse inside this Beyond Bubble and ensure Xenixel's values were followed across Beyond.
Despite the immense size of the Bubble, Xenixel would only allow Omnipotent^3 or Omniscient^3 to join the Council, infuriating many others who knew of the upcoming Collapse. Xenixel's massive unpopularity within the Cohort resulted in the vast majority of eligible Supergods refusing to join the Council, however two Omnipotent^3 and Omniscient^2 Supergod partners (Empiroxus and Abstractil) surprisingly accepted Xenixel's offer. While Xenixel at first despised their practices and considered their values utterly incompatible with his, he eventually began to respect the two and trusted them with many crucial tasks.
As information and communication technology improved, rumors began to spread of an Omniscient^3 entity roaming around the Cohort. Upon hearing this, Xenixel left Beyond in the temporary control of Empiroxus and Abstractil while he searched for the entity himself. Xenixel would eventually find this Supergod, named Matharin, in a small and unstable Beyond Bubble on the edges of the Cohort. She, along with her Omnipotent^2 and Omniscient^2 partner Conceptilum, were struggling for survival in their hostile environment when Xenixel discovered them. Xenixel was very pleased with Matharin, despite her Omnipotence^2 and over-attachment to her partner. (An attachment Xenixel considered 'absurd' given his 'inferior' intellect.) Nevertheless, Xenixel offered Matharin a position in the Council which she was quick to accept, on the condition that Conceptilum was allowed a position as well. While initially unwilling, once Xenixel realized Matharin may go as far as killing herself if separated from Conceptilum, so he begrudgingly accepted and allowed both Supergods to become Council members. This would ultimately pay off as Empiroxus and Abstractil got along extremely well with the two new members and tasks were soon accomplished far quicker than ever before. Conceptilum would even later be uplifted to Omnipotence^3 by Abstractil so he could be more 'useful' to the Council.
A large amount of metatime after these events, Xenixel would announce the beginning of a new project he named "Project Hellensoerensen", the purpose of which was to create a fully functional Omnipotent^4 automaton combining the strength of the entire Council into one entity. Based off scrapped plans for a similar automaton with eight pilots devised by the Supergod Coalition, Xenixel aimed for a far more ambitious six-entity robot, requiring far more advanced technology and relying on some very rare forms of Trosinium. Still, the Council had only five members at the time, and so more needed to be found. While Empiroxus and Abstractil had planned to search for more Omnipotent^3 and/or Omniscient^3 members (mostly as an excuse to protect more Supergods from the Collapse), Matharin and Conceptilum suggested they create five Supergod Eggs themselves, who would function as helpful and obedient Council members. (Mostly as an excuse to have kids.) Xenixel accepted both offers, on the conditions that all future members Empiroxus and Abstractil recruited were to be assessed by Xenixel before formally joining the Council and that all children made by Matharin and Conceptilum were to be kept under incredibly strict conditions to make them the 'perfect' Council members. (This mostly involved locking them in a small Monocosm and isolating them from their parents.)
Not long after launching Project Hellensoerensen, on a routine mission to an Alet-rich area outside the Cohort, Xenixel encountered a young Omnipotent^2 and Omniscient^2 Supergod named Peralitus, who appeared to obsess over Xenixel and the Supergod Council and aspired to one metaday become a member. Peralitus explained how he considered Xenixel's leadership style and ideals to be 'perfect' and completely agreed with his views on the Supergod Coalition and the Lesser Guardians. Apparently, Peralitus had learned about the Council from Empiroxus, who had rejected him during one of his searches for new members. Neither Xenixel nor Peralitus could work out for the life of them why Empiroxus didn't bring such an ideal candidate back to Xenixel. Regardless, Xenixel quickly appointed Peralitus as the sixth member of the Supergod Council, although to a much lower position than the others due to his lack of Omnipotence^3 or Omniscience^3. Peralitus clearly envied the positions of Supergods such as Empiroxus and Matharin and would be more than willing to use any means necessary to 'acquire' their positions if he had the chance.
In metatime, Conceptilum and Matharin's first two children, Paradoxus and Logixel, would hatch. Paradoxus had in fact hatched long before Peralitus was recruited and had grown agonizingly bored of being stuck inside his Monocosm. Once Logixel hatched, Paradoxus was elated that he finally had someone to talk to and spend metatime with. When three of the Council's most senior members had left on a mission to the "Spirals of Creation" or something like that, Paradoxus encouraged himself and Logixel to exit their Monocosm in secret and explore Beyond for the first time. Logixel, being newly hatched, had not yet grown so incredibly bored of their Monocosm and was greatly hesitant to leave it, but seeing how aggressive and angry Paradoxus became when Logixel declined, he ultimately decided to accompany Paradoxus out of Beyond.
What followed was a series of catastrophically poor decisions and miscalculations which ultimately led to the Supergod Council and all of Beyond being endangered. Paradoxus and Logixel had little to no contact with the rest of Beyond besides infrequent visits from other Supergods. Thus, when they entered a nearby Monocosm, they had no idea what effect they would have on lesser entities upon making themselves visible. A terrified and trigger-happy Destroyer immediately attacked the two beings which she perceived as threats. The attack did no harm whatsoever as the Destroyer possessed only Omnipotence^1, and Logixel quickly realized these entities were more afraid of the Supergods than the Supergods were afraid of them. Paradoxus, however, was not so empathetic, and quickly erased the violent Destroyer, greatly upsetting Logixel. Paradoxus was also about to erase the old and indecisive Creator, however Logixel argued that he couldn't just murder innocent creatures like this. An angry Paradoxus then began to shout about how they were only Omniscient^1 and didn't really count as 'people', upsetting Logixel even further.
As the two Supergods argued, the imbalance caused by Destroyer's erasure combined with the indecisiveness from the old and decrepit Creator left a power vacuum in the Monocosm, open for any mortal faction to fill. One mortal in particular, Ven, had already acquired significant control over the Monocosm's Omniverse, and saw this power vacuum as a perfect opportunity to expand his Eternal Legion. By burning Destroyer's Godverse for energy, the Eternal Legion were able to power a massive fleet of post-Omniversal ships, capable of overpowering and destroying Creator. Ven would then use Creator's leftover power to ascend to Omnipotence^1, becoming the new ruler of his Monocosm. Immediately upon discovering the existence of the two Supergods who created the power vacuum, he immediately began devising plans to usurp and kill them as well. Ven envisioned himself as the new ruler of Beyond—and given the complete incompetence of these foolish and dysfunctional 'Supergods', he figured this task would be even easier than taking over his Monocosm.
The difference in the flow of metatime in Beyond compared to in the Monocosm meant that all these events occurred while Paradoxus and Logixel were still arguing over whether Creator should be erased. Once they noticed what had happened, they had no idea what to do. They had destabilized one of Xenixel's precious Monocosms without any clue of how to fix it. The two hoped they could quickly locate Matharin or Abstractil, who might be able to help fix the issue. But the Supergod they instead encountered was Peralitus who, upon seeing that Matharin's creations had directly disobeyed Xenixel's orders and had caused a massive imbalance within Beyond, knew his opportunity to take Matharin's position had come. Sure, it would involve the two younger Supergods being exiled, but Peralitus had worked hard to please Xenixel, more than any of the others had. Surely, he deserved this.
Realizing what Peralitus was planning to do, Paradoxus ordered Logixel to find Matharin, knowing she'd sort this all out, while he attacked Peralitus to buy Logixel metatime. Despite his young age, Paradoxus was already almost as powerful as the older Peralitus, and knowing that Paradoxus attacked first, Peralitus figured he would not be punished for injuring the younger Supergod as Paradoxus's attacks could be potentially lethal to him. Thus, Peralitus did not hold back and battered Paradoxus with as many attacks as he could.
Matharin was near Abstractil when Logixel found her and explained their situation, oblivious to the currently occurring battle between Paradoxus and Peralitus. Abstractil politely requested Logixel return to his Monocosm, and she would reason with Xenixel once he returned. She had her problems with Xenixel's leadership, but believed he would see that in this situation, Peralitus was clearly the one most at fault. Matharin, however, caring only for the survival of her children, decided this wasn't enough. Using her Omniscience^3, Matharin began to manipulate and destabilize countless Monocosms in such a precise way that Peralitus would be framed for the imbalance. Abstractil and Logixel were appalled, and both begged her to stop as she was only making things (literally) infinitely worse, but Matharin wouldn't listen.
Before the situation could be properly resolved, Empiroxus, Conceptilum and Xenixel returned from their mission with terrible news: The Collapse was due to occur at any moment. Upon seeing the imbalance 'Peralitus' had caused, Xenixel realized 'he' had greatly endangered not just the stability of Beyond but at a metatime as crucial as this, the lives of everyone in it. Xenixel quickly located Peralitus, and when he saw the spring green Supergod beating Paradoxus to a pulp, immediately shouted that he would be exiled for his traitorous actions against the Supergod Council with immediate effect. Peralitus tried to explain that Paradoxus had left his Monocosm and caused an instability, but Xenixel wouldn't listen, demanding he leave Beyond now or Xenixel would activate Hellensoerensen to erase him. As a confused and terrified Peralitus left Beyond and entered the rapidly decaying Transcendentem, Matharin realized that with the upcoming Collapse making Transcendentem uninhabitable, she had effectively condemned Peralitus to death. When she overheard Empiroxus and Xenixel discussing just how dangerous 'Peralitus's' instabilities would be, she realized she may also have condemned the rest of the Council and her children to death as well. Abstractil said nothing throughout the exchange, but glared at Matharin with a stare that could set Omniverses on Phire.
The mission to the Spires of Creation had greatly damaged Xenixel's mental state, and with Beyond in a precarious position, he decided he would no longer allow the Supergods to act freely as it would complicate matters. He forced all Supergods, including Paradoxus and Logixel, to agree to an oath of absolute unity, not once stepping out of line or taking even a single action Xenixel didn't order, otherwise they would be exiled. Times like this would usually be when Empiroxus and possibly others would stand up to Xenixel in protest, but with the Collapse looming and all of their lives on the line thanks to 'Peralitus's' actions, every single Supergod agreed. Xenixel then ordered Paradoxus and Logixel to return to their Monocosm while Empiroxus was to travel to a decaying Beyond Bubble filled with Piro to acquire a rare variant of Trosinium necessary for the survival of Beyond.
Surprisingly, Empiroxus encountered few obstacles during the mission itself as the quantity of Piro was far lower than anticipated, leaving Empiroxus in a healthy state. However, when returning to Beyond, he was attacked.
Immediately, Matharin and Xenixel received horrible visions of a brutal battle involving Empiroxus and knew Peralitus must be behind it. Of course, Peralitus was only Omnipotent^2 compared to Empiroxus's Omnipotence^3, meaning Peralitus was not able to do any harm to Empiroxus at all. But Matharin and Xenixel's visions did not show enough details of the battle to confirm how much danger Empiroxus was in, and both Supergods feared the worst. Immediately, both set out to do what they believed was right. Xenixel began to assemble all Supergods, including Paradoxus and Logixel, into Hellensoerensen, which they would then pilot into Transcendentem. After all he had supposedly done, Xenixel had every intention of murdering Peralitus. Matharin meanwhile exited Beyond on her own and navigated a complex series of collapsing Tunnels using her Omniscience^3 to locate the two Supergods. Upon arriving, Matharin directed Peralitus's attention to herself, and explained that she was the one who had destabilized Beyond and framed the rogue Supergod. She was the one who got him exiled. She demanded he let Empiroxus go, as he played no part in his exile, and that if he wanted to kill anyone, Peralitus should kill her. She wouldn't stop him.
Empiroxus was profoundly confused by the situation but had no metatime to help Matharin as he desperately needed to deliver the Trosinium to Beyond. Once he arrived, he found all remaining Supergods preparing to activate Hellensoerensen. Xenixel ordered him to get in, as they were going to execute Peralitus. Empiroxus couldn't believe he was hearing and wondered if more Piro was in that collapsing Bubble than he thought. The Collapse was metaminutes away, he had just arrived with the only material that could save Beyond, which needed to be implemented into its structure instantly, and Xenixel wanted him to activate Hellensoerensen? Xenixel wanted the entire Council, including two children, to pilot Hellensoerensen into Transcendentem while the Collapse was occurring and execute an Omnipotent^2 entity who was a threat to no one but Matharin?!?
Xenixel didn't want to hear even the slightest implication of refusal and shouted that Peralitus was the one who attempted to murder Empiroxus in the first place, so he should just shut up and get in. Empiroxus shouted back that he wasn't even the one who caused this instability in to begin with! They had a tiny window of metatime to save Beyond and Matharin here, otherwise everyone would die! Empiroxus had memorized the route back to Peralitus and Matharin; he could rush back there and save her right away while Xenixel and the others could repair Beyond while he was gone! If they all got in Hellensoerensen now, they might be stuck out there when the Collapse occurred, and if that didn't kill them, not repairing Beyond in time certainly would! Furious, Xenixel shouted that if he wouldn't comply, then he would be exiled as well! And with only five pilots, Xenixel activated Hellensoerensen, blasted Empiroxus into a nearby Monocosm and piloted the automaton into Transcendentem.
The attack had wounded Empiroxus and damaged part of the Monocosm, however with only five pilots Hellensoerensen was not functioning even close to full capacity, and the cyan Supergod knew he could still catch and stop them in time. Empiroxus quickly rushed out of Beyond and began chasing Hellensoerensen through the collapsing Tunnel system. Ven watched as Empiroxus exited his Monocosm and then Beyond, knowing taking down the Council would be even easier than he thought.
Matharin was not much weaker than Peralitus, and so despite her expectations of being forced to give up her life, she was actually more than capable of both saving Empiroxus and evading Peralitus. Knowing she wouldn't be able to face him one-on-one, Matharin attempted to escape through the Tunnel system back to Beyond. She knew that Peralitus was completely incapable of moving through Transcendentem without the aid of Tunnels, and so attempted to lure the frenzied Supergod into collapsing Tunnels to trap him. Meanwhile, Empiroxus desperately chased after Hellensoerensen; the automaton struggling to move properly with only five pilots. Paradoxus, Logixel and Conceptilum feared for Matharin's life as well as their own and gladly followed Xenixel's exact orders. Abstractil didn't want to openly disobey Xenixel and accidentally cause the automaton to crash, which could kill them all, but secretly made poor moves to slow Hellensoerensen down and help Empiroxus catch up.
