In real-world mythology, Gaia represents the earth of the world.
Her appearance symbolizes the beginning of all things, and that all living beings finally have a tangible form.
In the mythology of this system, she is also an existence that split off from Chaos's body.
Strictly speaking, Gaia should be on the same level as the supreme gods like Tartarus.
but,
Viktor has now realized something.
In his memory, or rather in his experience, he had never seen or even heard of a god called 'Gaia'.
The game's world-building never mentions the existence of such a Mother Earth in the human world.
If the legendary goddess of nature is indeed Gaia, then her status cannot be equal to that of Chaos, who represents "rules".
Because she refused the name 'Gaia'.
The chat box in front of him flashed again, and a beam of light streaked across Viktor's vision, answering his question.
Chaos in the sky looked down at Viktor, seemingly pleased by his surprised expression.
Some truths, even Viktor himself did not know.
The text in the chat box slowly appeared:
This means she is no longer 'Gaia', and is no longer required to bear the responsibilities that Gaia should have.
In the narrative of mythology, Gaia plays a crucial role.
She is similar to Nyx in Hell, and her status is almost identical to Nyx's.
But Nyx created numerous hellish deities by splitting his own emotions.
Gaia, on the other hand, created the first generation of gods, the Titans, with her own flesh and blood.
According to mythology, as the Mother Earth, every god is her descendant.
Are Erica's brothers those gods?
Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but feel a little sad for Duke Reeves.
Of course, he also knew that Erica could not possibly have any connection with those gods.
He didn't know who Gaia was because that name didn't exist in the game.
However, he knew very well who the goddess of nature was.
This god, who requires no faith, created only a handful of things: the six elements that make up the world.
There is also a great calamity representing the balance of the six elements.
Although he didn't know how Duke Reeves managed to give birth to Erica.
And then there were the things Chaos said to him.
The goddess of nature rejected the name Gaia, meaning she would no longer assume the responsibilities and missions that Gaia should have undertaken.
The sacred mission of Gaia is to create the gods and give birth to all things.
The original plan of Chaos was that Chaos would create Gaia, Gaia would create the Gods, and the Gods would create the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, water, and fire.
The gods bring the spark of life, and the gods wield the thunder of punishment.
However, everything changed dramatically when 'she' refused the name that should have been hers.
[By rejecting the name, she no longer needed to split herself apart and create a god like I did.]
[In this way, it preserved its entirety.]
She did not divide her power to create more gods.
Because once the number of gods increases, their struggles and wars will inevitably bring chaos to the world.
Therefore, she gathered various natural forces such as mountains and rivers, fire, and thunder into herself.
She then created six calamity beasts to share her work and inherit her power.
It was precisely because she refused the name 'Gaia' that she did not become 'Gaia'.
Instead, she transformed into the nature goddess that Victor knew.
Viktor gradually understood.
Why are the background descriptions of supreme gods like Tartarus described as ancient deities who have existed since the beginning of the world?
Modern gods like Hades, however, only appeared suddenly a thousand years ago.
That's right. A thousand years ago, although there were humans in this world, there was no such thing as faith.
Because apart from the Supreme God, no other gods have emerged.
The supreme God does not depend on faith, and humanity has no way to understand Him.
Even if humans wanted to worship gods, Gaia would have to give birth to the gods first.
However, Gaia refused to fulfill this obligation.
She chose to become a nature goddess who would never fall in love or have children, remaining beautiful on her own.
And so, the gods' creation plan came to an abrupt end.
Of these supreme gods, only Nyx and Erebus faithfully fulfilled the missions bestowed upon them by their names.
They had many children, which, along with the children born from Nyx's own emotional split, completed the normal operation of the underworld.
This would end the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death in humankind, and allow the soul to finally be reincarnated.
Of course, the supreme gods do not interfere with the destination of the dead souls.
Whether they accumulate in the underground world, refuse to reincarnate, or choose to return to reincarnation only after a longer period of time.
Even if souls enter the cycle of reincarnation, their starting point for rebirth is filled with chaos.
A single thought can lead to a deviation in the outcome of reincarnation.
No god will manage these things, nor is any god willing to manage them.
This cycle is indeed automated enough, but not humane enough.
And these gods, who can only be seen after death, could not possibly be spread by humans.
After reincarnation, memories are erased, so how can the dead return to the human world with memories of their past lives?
Naturally, no human would worship the gods of the underworld.
