Final Trial

[Pokedude12]

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatter up! Here's a compilation by topic! Accuracies not guaranteed."
Deity Research Factory - A large facility in New York. Most up to date on top secret investigation projects. Not well guarded, though few civilians disrupt it. Funded by only Ronnie Martin, due to no others agreeing with the project. Had exactly 20 employees who worked every day. Used students to research deities; some experiments resulted in death (like Hajime, and possibly Jones). Developed the wish-making device (How?).

Chaos Maze - Three kinds: Demon, Human, and Angel. Each only entered by own race, otherwise killing all others. Location of Chaos Tests. (Halp. Severe lack.)

Chaos Tests - Led by the God of Angels to force the demons to submit and confess their sin, or suffer extinction. (Probably includes Ronnie's experiments)

God of Angels, Gofu - Led the Chaos Tests and desperately held another test after Ronnie was killed, judged the demons in a particular test. (How did he gain enough power to force the Chaos Tests on the demons? How did he employ Ronnie? Did he give funds and the 20 employees?)

Ronnie - Was killed somehow, disrupting the tests, though considered the God of Humans. His research was rumored to be about Gods that protect the planet and other inaccessible areas of this world that are popular to religious belief like Heaven and Hell, AKA the Demon Realm and the Angel Realm. (How did he find out about the other races and realms? How did he get enough info to run experiments, possibly in the Chaos Mazes even? Why did his death throw control out of Gofu's hands?)

Marika - The last human, wields the Godslayer weapon and killed all gods,. Used the Time Gate and brought gods from the future to the past. Jones' girlfriend. Agile and rational (Probably thought out the on-going event, which may be another Chaos Test). Parents were scientists that made revolutionary discoveries to improve the world. Not interested in being like her parents. (Too OP)

Hajime - Prime suspect in Jones' murder, then was judged guilty. Fought with Jones for several days before the murder, usually brutal fist fights. Fingerprints were on the murder weapon. Was excused to continue serving the International Deity Research Facility projects. Under constant surveillance at home. Died in an experiment.

Jones Scarlet - Gets high grades without trying hard, has lots of charisma. Enjoys fitting in with the rest of class and starting various trends. Used Hajime to boost own fame. Was killed by Hajime. (Though the murder could be a cover-up for a death by the experiment.)

Eco - Awakened early as the 19th god. Created the city in the empty world, then discovered info Marika didn't want known. Was killed as a result. (Why did he awaken early?)

Godslayer - A sword belonging to Marika. Cannot be used by gods. (How was this made?)

"Soooooo yeah. Anyone know anything about how Gofu basically had control over everything until Ronnie died? If I got this right, each race had its own CM exclusive to itself, which means that everything should've been balanced. How did humans and demons lose out? Also, anyone know what the mazes are and what the tests were about? Do we know how the mazes got here to begin with and why they're for testing, (except that non-matching races died for some reason)? How did the mazes come to exist, as well as the individual races? Gofu taking power and forcing tests seems pretty iffy if all three races were truly on even ground at one point. If someone wants to share, feel free. Answering the early parts of the timeline will save time on the later parts."

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

-Viola slowly looks around the room and quietly begins to speak-

...Perhaps I should assist in this endeavor anyway...

...I will attempt to bring to light more on the state of this world...or....well at least bring up some points of discussion...
...Specifically the three chaos mazes that have been discussed...
...The original world was the supposed world of humans which was researching the worlds of angels and demons...
...Where we are is likely some split off dimension, created by Eco's powers and some other unknown science or power that was under the control of Marika...Perhaps the inside of the....
...We are not inside one of the chaos mazes, rather they are connected to this place through some kind of teleporter if my memory serves....
...There are very few bodies here....only belonging to gods and a few rare inhabitants, such as Marika....
...If Marika is indeed the last human I would expect numerous human corpses if this were the human realm...or at least more signs of their passing...
...A similar argument can be made of angels and demons and their respective realms, if they still stand....
...Three realms....Three mazes....Perhaps they were once one in the same...?
...The realms were inaccessible while being researched, perhaps because bridging the gap resulted in humans entering another realm and being destroyed...
...The reverse could also be true....Perhaps these realms are inherently only inhabitable by a specific kind of being....
...When people became gods the realms were bridged...as gods were capable of walking the realms without perishing...
...This link...could be what broke the realms...whatever filled each realm was like poison to the others....
...and it moved like the gods....across the realms...resulting in the destruction of all...
...Survival would mean breaking ones being and becoming a god...
...The chaos tests were performed in an attempt to make those capable of...evolving...do so...
...Saying demons should confess their sins....that's normally a very human thing to do...perhaps even angelic....
...A demon could rise above and become a god...escaping the lone maze that could only remotely sustain their old demonic existence....
...Perhaps Marika survived this event but remained human through the use of the godslayer sword...
...Or some other creation...Or they escaped to a realm that was altogether different from the three original realms....
...This realm...a realm now filled with gods....a realm of gods....a place filled with powers beyond ones imagination...
...A dome filled with magical powers....like a genies lamp....an item that grants wishes....
...The magical powers of everything...perhaps all the realms powers focused together...
...Monochi...could very well be an original inhabitant of a god realm....perhaps a God of Gods....

-Viola seems to ponder, but cannot grasp whatever word they are looking for-

...Perhaps...we are something in between a true god....but the change from regular beings...was so great...
...we were dubbed gods...but do not possess true godlike power...
...Gods were researched prior along with the original realm investigations....
...It would not be surprising if some god existed prior before us...

...So....I guess my point....is....the old realms could be the mazes... and we could be some twisted amalgamation...
...of those realms...and their old inhabitants....Perhaps the wish making device....is simply constructing a world of everything....
...a world where a true god...who possessed all...could exist...perhaps long enough to grant a single wish....


...Like a song science and theory flow...it simply pours out until the final notes...
...Only by listening again and again can the right notes be placed.....and the faulty ones....
...removed...Let us construct this unknown song...the song of our existence and the...realms...

-Viola closes her eyes and seems to be humming a slow tune as she thinks-

An odd little thought~ What if all our powers were a result of technology~[/smear:2e00ff]

[John Dark Souls]

『*sigh* I am already get bored of this trial... Guess nothing will ever move forward if you leave things to others, huh... Well then, lets finally end this. I will now go through all of the information from start to finish and then give you all full answers on those stupid questions. Lets start in chronological order of the events. You might notice answers to the questions just the compilation of facts but do know that first part isn't meant to be answers and just information laid out on the table.』

『First of all, it all began when this and I repeat THIS world began. I have no idea when it started and pretty sure nobody of you has either. It isn't even important when, how or why it came into existence in the first place. But what we do know is that from the very old age, from perhaps the very moment the world was born, it was born with 3 realms existing in it. Each named after the race living within it: Human Realm, Demon Realm and Angel Realm. As I said, Human Realm was populated with humans, Demon Realm with demons and finally Angel Realm with angels. But, in each of the realms also existed a single deity. Some deities called themselves Kings and Leaders and openly led their races while some deities supported their races from shadows. But in most cases, the deities were hiding the facts that they themselves were Gods. Gods that could not be killed by force, as they have a Divine Protection that protects themselves from all injuries. But, even though they are almost invincible, gods aren't immortal and still age. And when a god's time is almost up, they would pass on their god title along with the powers that came with it to an unborn child. But, that isn't all there was to the worlds. For there also existed buildings/labyrinths called Chaos Mazes. -NEEDS MORE INFO- While I do not hold enough information to determine what exactly they are or why they came into being, I still can tell certain facts about them. And the certain facts are that Chaos Mazes and Gods are tied by inseparable link. When there is a Chaos Maze, there exists a God to maintain it and keep it stable. When there is a God, there is a Chaos Maze connected to them that uses their power to be stable. Due to this, the Gods conscious of this have nearly full control of the Chaos Maze tied to them being able to completely bend laws of logic within them. But, because for Chaos Mazes to exist, gods are needed, there could only be 3 Chaos Mazes for there were only 3 Gods in 3 Realms. And so there existed a single Chaos Maze, a single God in control of it and a single race for every one of the realms. That is how I think the world was supposed to be.』

-ORDER MIGHT BE A BIT OFF FROM HERE, I'M DESCRIBING FEW EVENTS THAT OCCURRED AT AROUND SAME TIME-
『But, due to some accident or because it was originally like that, I don't know, but nowadays, it seems like the 3 realms weren't separate and were in fact connected. Gods also seemed to have known about different races and realms too. The sole reason why Chaos Tests that I was a part of in the first place was that demon souls have been possessing humans in Human Realms and causing chaos all around on many different occasions which in turn led the God of Angels to think that demons were not allowed to exist and were to be eradicated. At this time, the current three Gods of 3 races were: Gofu Resonance - God of Angels, Snow Dice - God of Demons and finally Ronnie Martin - God of Humans. But that isn't that important yet. Yes, I was at the part where Gofu decided it was right to go and exterminate all demons and so he did lead them to the brink of destruction. Being the wimp he was, Snow's response to that was to split demons in 2 categories, Old Demons - the ones who have been all bad and evil and New Demons - the demons who had good in their hearts and were in no way evil. By doing that Snow hoped to prove that demons could be good too and that there was no need to eradicate them, he also proposed to prove his point by making demons undergo Chaos Tests. The tests were to lock 13 or so random demons together in a Chaos Maze and have them go through a death game. In order for demons to prove and win, even one demon had to be able to escape the Chaos Maze. In order to escape, one had to solve a series of puzzles, unlock the entrance and then confess their sins and repent. If demon attempted to escape without doing that, their soul and body was to be erased by maze making it perish forever. But, the test has never ended to due to unforeseen circumstances... What were those circumstances? Let me explain other events that have been occurring in the background during this whole angels vs demons war. The events, that unlike this test I described just now, really are important to what is going on now.』

『Whether it was before the angels vs demons war or during it, I don't know, but I do know that while Gofu and Snow were doing useless stuff like that, the 3rd and last God wasn't just sitting his off doing nothing. In fact, he was leading a large research facility on deities in New York with a cover of being but a simple researcher. Perhaps because of being unsatisfied with his current God powers, perhaps with desire for truth for why he is a God, or perhaps just from normal scientist's curiosity. At this point its hard to tell why he decided to research deities, but what matters is that he did indeed do it and that there was a total of 19 more researchers other than him that supported him in this research endeavour. But whether it was because of the lack of funds or because being a God he was most sure that he would be able to deal with any problem himself, Ronnie didn't hire many guards even though he was dealing with top secret data. Also not so sure why, but maybe because kids have more growth potential, the later experiments after enough research has been completed, have been using certain school's students as their lab rats. Ronnie had a whole Chaos Maze at his disposal, there are no doubt his research must've been more than productive. In fact, among one of the stuff the managed to create was a wish-granting device that was most likely based on Chaos Maze's system allowing it's God to create almost anything they wish inside. That is what I think Marika uses in order to grant wishes of players too though back to this point later. But lets talk more on the school students that the experiments have been carried out on.』

『Judging by the class reports, all 3 of these students have a single point that binds them all together. What is it you ask? They are talented. Marika was 100%ing everything, Jones was Marika's BF, was easily getting As on a whim and was fitting with class very well, and lastly Hajime, it is said that he was used to boost Jones's fame. Also, Marika's parents appear to be "scientists in creating revolutionary discoveries to improve the world" so that creates more than a big possibility that her parents are in fact researchers of the Deity Research Facility and that is also one of the reasons why they picked this school perhaps? It is also noteworthy that Class Report says that Marika "does not show much interest in this career path" but what exactly does it mean by "this career path"? Working to improve the world? Or simply that she simply though "realistic technology > deities and stupid religious stuff like that"? Also, who was it that wrote the report? It was found in Teacher's desk so I assume a teacher. There is more then enough possibility of Marika lying in order to hide her true technical abilities. Or it could be that she was out loud announcing that science is something that should be used however she wants for herself and not the world. I'm not sure on this point. -NEXT POINT NOT SO SURE ABOUT- But, the most important part about three is of course Jones's death. Whether it was a plot in order to cover up Jones's death in the experiment or Hajime got enough of him for using him or just cause he was jelly of Jones being Marika's BF and while fully sure he would be backed up by facility outright killed Jones, I'm not so sure without seeing his Class Report and what teacher thinks about him. But what I am sure about, is that the murder definitely triggered something in Marika. And so during one of the next experiments, she must've killed Hajime herself unless he was innocent and just randomly died in another experiment and Marika knew she was next on the list. Regardless of what reason there was, Marika's actions were simple. She decided to kill everyone.』

『Marika turned all results of the researchers' experiments against themselves. She even wished for and created a Godslayer sword knowing full-well that Ronnie was God and couldn't be killed otherwise. Not suspecting that, Ronnie who was fully thinking he alone was able to protect the facility against anything, got easily murdered by his own fruits of labour. But Marika? No, of course she wouldn't be satisfied with just that. Even while having a wish-fulfilling device and perhaps even a Time Gate(-NOTE THAT I'M NOT SURE-), she still couldn't bring back her loved Jones. What else was left? She had almost all the power in the world and was able to even kill a god? But she still couldn't save Jones? Who is at fault here? Of course it is the world! Thus after taking all the research, she decided to destroy the world by killing all 3 gods of 3 realms. I assume she also confirmed that Chaos Maze was destroyed along with Ronnie beforehand too. She made many contacts and continued plotting, she then found out about Chaos Tests being held in Demon Chaos Maze and decided to use that chance to strike. She made an agent demon of hers, Traitor sneak into the Chaos Tests and then get the Demon King killed while she herself went and killed Gofu in another place where he was. All 3 Gods and Chaos Mazes along them got destroyed. The world fell in chaos I can't even imagine. I'm not even sure why it went into that state because of lack of information Chaos Mazes, but I can tell at least that it wasn't nice. But the world... It didn't want to end just yet. At the brink of collapse, it selected 3 new gods from 2 demons and 1 human. These gods are Me, Makoto and Viscount. Being chosen as new gods suddenly, the three of us went into deep sleep while out 3 new Chaos Mazes were forming together. Whether it was because we were chosen at the same time or because of some other reason in this irregular situation, our Chaos Mazes grew into what could almost seem as 1 Chaos Maze because of how connected they were. But while we were sleeping peacefully getting used to our god bodies, Marika was going around killing over all leftover humanity left on the planet. Why is she the only human left alive? Because she just killed everyone else using her intellect and wish-granting device of course!』

『But of course, Marika still wasn't satisfied. The world still remained and us 3 were just peacefully napping there like nothing happened while she obliterated all life on the planet. Of course, Marika could kill us 3 with her sword too. But she knew that all that would do is turn her into god herself and nothing else. She knew world will not end by reducing the number of Chaos Mazes in it. But then... What if she increased it? What if she made so many Chaos Mazes around world just wouldn't be able to take it. Her theoretic knowledge told her it would be possible on the paper. And she was fully willing to test it on practice too. Thus she spent 3 years since we fell asleep in this world in order to finish the humanity, plot her next action and prepare for the plan. Now the important plan here is what exactly has happened during those 3 years and why did she have to wait that much? I have multiple theories here: 1.She was busy killing everyone with her robo-army, 2.She couldn't activate her Time Gate or wish-granting ability because the power feeding them came from Chaos Maze and ours was still undeveloped for that, 3.She was making the Time Gate itself and never had it till now. But otherwise it doesn't make much sense why she would have to wait so much to do this game but then immediately call every god here on Day 01, 17 days before the game would start. But nevertheless, the time came and she started the game.』

『With 15 gods summoned from future through the Time Gate and 3 local gods, the world now had 18 Chaos Mazes! Just from trembles all around she could tell that her theory was on spot and the world was on the brink on destruction. She had to dispose of Eco, the god who woke up early and helped her decorate the area for the party, but he knew to much and minus 1 god when there were already 18 didn't matter too much. She placed her godslayer sword in one of the rooms of Chaos Maze though and had to be careful that nobody accidentally kills themselves and saved the world so she also made it so using the sword was against the rules. And then as players enjoyed the party, Marika waited for when she would be able to use her Time Gate again and bring 10 more gods into this world to fasten the process even more. And then she did that and 10 more Chaos Mazes were created and the Dome instantly broke and the sky started showing distortions. She couldn't hide her happiness at how well her plan went. For the game, she made the wish from wish-granting device into a prize and decided to make everyone fight each other for it just to entertain her while bringing hope to us. The wasn't able to save even a single boyfriend with that useless piece of metal, there is no way it would be able to save the world, right? Or at least that is what she thought as she hoped to throw us all into the bottom of despair before the world ends... And then, her story just ended like that, without witnessing the end she waited for so much by the hand of Bern here... I wonder if I should even blame her now considering I am getting the wish anyway...』

『But enough with story-telling, time to answer some questions.』

WHO IS MARIKA CHI:　『A genius girl who had 2 researchers that were studying Deities as her parents. Was born who cares when but probably in New York. Her special features are her long orange hair and a flower barret. She was probably very interested in technology since young days and worked hard (or didn't and was natural genius) to become incredibly great at it. Went to What-the-hell-is-it's-name? School and there befriended Jones and then became his girlfriend. Was also involved in some stupid experiment by her parents against her will. Had her boyfriend butchered by stupid jelly classmate who was then pardoned cause of that stupid experiment from before and snapped at the world. Almost destroyed it once again and then spent 3 years of her ronery life with robo-cats, robo-fishes and robo-sharks planning to finish world for good now. Obtained much awesome stuff through the wish-granting device and also probably developed the Time Gate. Was killed once by me and then killed once by Bern... Did I miss anything?』

WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE: 『The 3 of this world's residents are here cause we are properly supposed to be. The other random 15 gods were brought from future through Marika's Time Gate to screw over this world and end it and entertain her while at it. So could you outsiders Get The Hell Off Our Lawn PLEASE?』

WHAT ARE YOU ALL: 『Us 3? Proper gods. Other 15? Proper Gods from future? Or rather? What is future even? Future is all about possibilities. There could be millions of futures existing and millions of different gods inside. Its not that strange that 26 different gods in total were brought over from the future? Why am I explaining that here?』

WHAT IS A GOD: 『Gods are deities that bla-bla-bla. Did somebody record my story from before? Can you just replay it here?』

WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE WORLD: 『One word: VERY BAD... Uhhh... 2 words... Yeah... If you listened to me, you know that I know, right..?』

[The Viscount]

*The Viscount approaches, a defeated look on his face.*

"I can only answer one of these questions."

WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE WORLD: "Nearing destruction, and on its way to becoming nothing."

"...However, there is another question I wish to ask you all."

"WHO ARE THE THREE GODS *HERE* WHO WERE NOT BORN SO?"

"...This may help."

(**=Edit for clarification. My bad for not making it clear the first time.)

(EDITAGAIN: This was pointed out as answered in the Skype chat sooo I'm gonna just continue... In another post of course.)

[The Viscount]

"Ah, that was already answered... I see. So, yes. I was the third not born a God."

"However, something that must be known... Is that the creation of new Gods, as well as the overabundance of old Gods, did send this world spiralling towards oblivion. Us three... Are a primary reason for the world's destruction, from what I know."

"I was told that I could not repair this world... But what good is a Leader with none to follow? I must try my hardest to keep this world from meeting its final end... So, help me then."

"I have a plan, and it can only work with the wish that the cat is willing to give us. Give me the wish, and I will return the world to a habitable state, and bring new life to it. With that, I will lead this world to new prosperity."

"There is no reason to fear, we are almost there. And we will solve this whole catastrophe."

[John Dark Souls]

『Wait... Something doesn't make sense... WAIT! I get it now! I get everything now! The order in which things have happened and how it has done! Everything falls in place! I can see the truth now!』

『Everything started with Marika and her revenge! When her boyfriend Jones was killed and murderer left free like that, she knew that no justice existed in this world. And when no justice exists in the world, the only choice is to become justice yourself... Marika planned her plan. Due to her parents influence, brilliant mind and low security she could easily get her hands on all the research documents in the facility. From the very start, Marika didn't have any intention to use the wretched religion that caused this for her justice. The only way was through technology. Due to the technology of the facility, she led the research further and got them to build the wish-granting facility made by the mix of her technological knowledge and Ronnie's Chaos Maze. She then used it to create the Godslayer sword. And using that sword, she had murdered Ronnie in cold blood! But that was but the first step! Using her technology she fled the scene and made it unidentifiable that she was the culprit. Then afterwards, when the other 2 surviving gods found out about Ronnie's death, tension between angels and demons got up to extreme heights. Marika then used her charisma to get allies on both sides and properly was leading them into war. First to take the bait were angel side and Gofu who outright attacked Snow the moment he saw him! That in turn led to whole Chaos Tests starting. Marika then used spies in both sides and ordered them to assassinate both Gods which they did just as asked while in the meantime Marika... GOT THE HELL OFF THE PLANET ON HER SPACE SHUTTLE! And for a reason! When all 3 gods dies and world chose next 3 successors at the same time an anomaly occurred... AN UNSTABLE CHAOS MAZE THE SIZE OF THE WHOLE PLANET FORMED ON EARTH! Because of all 3 Chaos Mazes forming at the same time, it was too messed up and thus it erased every single soul and body other than those of gods on the planet! All while Marika was enjoying the sight from the Earth's orbit in her space shuttle! Due to her knowledge, she knew that it took 3 years for newly formed Chaos Mazes like that to stabilize and when they passed, she descended back on Earth and continued with her plan. Her Justice wasn't done yet. She still had to summon a total of 26 more Chaos Mazes and make the world end for good using the Time Gate!』

*points finger at monitor!*『AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!』
