I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

Iyomelka was one of the founding Gods of Tertius when she gained consciousness of the Dark Voids of space. She didn't know how she came to be, but the only thing she could remember was this explosion, like a really big explosion. She was born from the death of a star—a blue star, to be exact. And with the death of this star, she gained knowledge about the cosmos, and this mysterious force that wished to consume her primordial essence. It didn't take long for the darkness of space to come, this dark, formless matter that tried to attack her. Whatever was in the void wanted to consume not only her, but all chaotic, divine, and natural Gods.

Luckily, being just born, she had enough primordial essence to fight off these things. The only problem was that she had nowhere to go, but her instincts told her that if she created a world with the right conditions for life, then her power would increase, and the world would protect her from those things in the void.

And as she streaked through the galaxy like a shooting star, she stumbled across some other gods to fight off the void. After a while, they found a large planet with a large amount of water and started the creation of their home. She's used the templates from the other Gods throughout the universe as she used her primordial essence not only to create humans, but also most of the animals, fish, plants, and insects. She even created a few of our own, but the ones she loved to create were chickens, mainly because the name sounded funny when another god from across the universe shared their creation for the rest of the Gods who wished to use it for their world.

This was Tertius, and it was their new home.

After the initial creation, they made a few changes to the planet before all the different gods took control over various pieces of land on the planet and started the slow process of creating their races of choice. Iymelka chose humans as her race. She wasn't the only deity to create humans as their followers. But she was the first one to realize that humans were the perfect race for adapting to their surroundings and could create technologies that the other natural races couldn't. They were the perfect balance of both the divine and the natural. But there was a con to the humans, and they could be corrupted by the other primordial powers of chaos or virtue. 

This made some of the Divine Gods worried and the tried to take a more proactive role in their human civilization. Which would othen speed up the demise of those human civilizations. As they were more zealous in trying to destroy the creatures that were created by beings of chaos.

So the other gods took their own human followers and moved their people further away from the demons, devils, and other sentient chaotic creatures.

Iyomelka knew her fellow gods were going about their roles wrong. She noticed that when humans were attacked first, they came together and fought off their attackers. So she didn't try to change the humans. Instead, she watched and observed them and would try to use as little of her primordial essence to favor those she wanted to rise to the top of her creation. It did create some problems for her, like how all the other Gods were able to replenish their primordial essence faster when their followers prayed to them and gave them offerings. But Iyomelka wasn't as active as the other Gods were.

She would only get involved when she saw a great threat or a great potential human, like the Meredydd family that founded the Fiafyr Kingdom. They became the bastion of her creation, and if anyone tried to stop their line, then she would try to influence the outcome by the littlest means necessary. She didn't want her followers to become dependent on her every decision and would let them make their own decisions, even if they were the wrong ones.

Her followers didn't care about the other races, but she did. She would even try to help them in her own way. They made things interesting for her, so when the dwarves abandoned a big city in the Galfrei mountain range, it was still filled with dwarves. She used a little of her primordial essence to suggest that King Burell Meredydd should visit this city. She didn't know if Burell would kill all the dwarves or not. She just knew that he would give them an honest chance and would not kill the dwarves in cold blood.

And now her latest champion, whom she created with Soul Summoned to Tertius, has taken a fancy to another champion. This isn't the first time in Tertius' history that two chosen by different gods have fallen in love with each other. But this would be the first time she's seen a chosen one from a different race falling in love with her champion.

She would watch and observe her newest champion to see what kind of path he would take and what kind of effect he would have on the world. She had a feeling that once the other gods found out, they would probably send their chosen ones to try and kill one of them, out of fear of the unknown. But that would only annoy her if they did.

If her Champion had any weakness, it would be his compassion for others. He would always put the needs of his people over his own. But she did notice a change in her Champion since his time with the Dark Elf. He was becoming more focused, and he looked to become one of the most famous mortals of all of Tertius. And she couldn't wait to see their firstborn, who was carefully growing inside the female Dark Elf.

But then the Duke and now the Marquess were openly trying to interfere with her chosen one.

Alaric, Leandra, and their deceased son, Marcus, were the main ones Iyomelka was used to trying to kill or destroy her Champion, and she was annoyed with how much primordial essence she needed to use just to hinder their attempts. Like when she used one speck of essence to heal Rianna's womb for just long enough so she could become pregnant with her champion or the time she altered the incomplete elixir that the assassin, Wina Daz, was going to use to make her bosoms lactate so she could sneak into the palace and murdered Quinus. She enhanced the elixir to heal her mutilated virgin, and her body became voluptuous before the assassin knew it. She began to fall for the Kingdom's strongest knight and betray her client. Then there was Marcus. He was the biggest headache as she needed to use four specks of primordial essence to stop multiple attempts on Quinus' life. 

Now Duval was working with the Revelias, and she used another speck of essence to warn him that he was going down the wrong path. But he ignored her. There's nothing worse than using a speck of essence and not getting the results she was looking for. Sure, she had stored up enough primordial essence to create life on ten new planets, and one might think she's a little stingy when using her essence, but she didn't want to be caught off guard by the other Gods.

'Duval... You are going down a dangerous path... You shouldn't go against my champion's future wife...' Iyomelka thought as she glared down at the West Wing of the palace, watching the human staring out at the city.

She shook her head at their futile plan to get one of her statues to light up. Rianna was the last one to get her idol to light up when she, by luck, made one out of five gestures to activate the idol and connect to her in the ethereal plane.

Iyomelka had these Idols designed so the Priestesses and Clerics could contact her when she was a new Goddess. But after seeing how the other Gods interfered with their followers and how dependent her followers got, she made it so that no one could read the scriptures at the base of the Idols. But if by some chance someone did a few of the prompts by accident to light up the Idol, the scripture on the base of the statue would replace whatever the old prompts were with new ones, so they couldn't repeat the old actions. Lastly, she didn't recharge them with her Primordial Essence. So over a course of Ten Thousand years, the Idols slowly lost the power to connect with her realm, and Rianna, during the ritual, was supposed to kneel, but she stumbled a bit into going on one knee while she was about to pray with her hands together. It didn't look graceful, and the High Priestess was about to reprimand the Princess until the Idol's eyes lit up. Once they saw this, the Priestesses and Clerics' attitudes did an about-face and began praying just like Rianna did by stumbling to one knee during her ritual of purification.

Iyomelka decided the less interference, the better. So she made it nearly impossible for any humans to light the Idol, but it would be entertaining to watch them try. Now, they were using ether crystals, which did something to her Idols, but she didn't know the extent of what the crystals did.

And the fact that the Prime Minister was ignoring her warning was pissing her off. She didn't know if she should try something else, but that's when she felt another presence of a God appearing behind her.

Iyomelka was still observing them, but then she narrowed her glowing light blue eyes. She felt a presence behind her and, without turning her head, she spoke, "I thought you three traveled together. You're brave to show up on my planet. Or is it stupidly?"

The entity was none other than Paul, the eldest brother of the Divine Three, gods who were forcibly exiled from their old world and found this one.

Paul's body glowed yellow, and his long, flowing hair reached his knees. His toga looked simple by Roman standards. His feet were bare, and his body was in its natural form.

"We were wondering if we could have a talk." Paul's voice echoed.

"We?... Don't tell me your brothers are cowering?... Although those two must be smarter than you, Paul the Wise..." Iyomelka scoffed.

"They are busy, and they are none of your concern..."

"What do you want, Paul?"

"To discuss the future of your joining with us... This world is corrupted by more than just these other... abominations..." Paul said as he looked down at the palace and witnessed three elves, a wolfkin, and two dwarves mingling amongst the humans.

"This world is fine the way it is, and you and your brothers have no claim over it!" Iyomelka stated angrily.

"You don't understand how dire the situation is in this world... This mana... It gives the mortals the abilities of the Gods... And if we aren't careful... Then they will try to overthrow us... It's unnatural for mortals to have such power..."

"Are you speaking from experience, Paul?... Or are you assuming what will happen next?"

Paul narrowed his eyes when he looked at Iyomelka's back.

"No... Our world was destroyed by the Beings of Chaos. They gave their followers enough of their primordial essence to crack the planet in half—"

"Don't you mean, you all gave your followers too much of your primordial essence and caused the destruction of your world and your people?" Iyomelka interjected.

Paul pressed his lips together and glared.

"You Gods of Divine are almost as bad as the Gods of Chaos... All you want to do is make your followers become draconian, and you make them fear and hate those who aren't your followers. When there should be more harmony amongst the people." Iyomelka said.

"There is nothing wrong with making your followers stronger..."

"At the cost of the planet and its people?... I always wonder how you three were exiled... Turns out that it was your own doing—"

"Enough, Iyomelka!... Will you join us and kill those abominations that are in the heart of your land... Or do you need us to do the work you failed to do!"

"Get off my planet and leave us alone, Paul..." Iyomelka growled.

Paul narrowed his eyes.

"This is our planet, now—WHOA! AAAHHH!!!"

Iyomelka created a golf ball-sized amount of Primordial Essence and shot it at Paul while he was about to go into a monologue. It hit him square in the chest, and in a blink of an eye, he shot up into the atmosphere and out into space.

Paul flailed his arms and legs, trying to stop the momentum as Tertius started getting smaller and further away from him, and the stars got brighter.

"Damn, you witch!" Paul growled as his glowing hair whipped around his face.

He quickly used his divine power to stop the momentum.

"Someday I'll expel her from your..."

Paul stopped talking when he heard the void coming from the darkened space. It looked like thousands of black tentacles rushing towards him. Before he knew it, one of his arms and legs got wrapped up in the tentacles, and the pain was unbearable.

Paul screamed as he used his Primordial Essence to blast the dark tentacles away. He quickly rushed away from the source and sped toward the planet, with the void chasing after him. The void occasionally grabbed him and ripped away flesh.

The Primordial Essence burned through the void's tentacles, and he escaped the tentacles once he reentered Tertius' atmosphere, then he crash-landed back on the planet's surface.

Paul's clothes were in tatters, and his skin was bloody and full of holes and gaping wounds. He sighed as his followers' prayers recharged his Primordial Essence, and he began to return to his pristine condition.

"So this is her choice then... Fine... Don't say we didn't give you a chance, Iyomelka... For your followers will become ours, and then we can create more Paladins and rid the world of this cancer... This mana that doesn't belong here..."

Paul stood up, and his clothes repaired themselves as his body glowed.

"And for the sake of the universe... I must find the rest of the Beings of Chaos and end them once and for all."

The light died down, and Paul returned to watching over his land and waiting for his brothers to finish their mission of supporting the Paladins purging the Dark Elves in the far west of the continent.

***

Iyomelka was still watching over the palace after sending Paul away.

'I can't wait to send Paul into the void once and for all... But his damn followers give him and his brothers so much essence that they have become almost untouchable... Thank the Fates that those idiots use all their essence on their Paladins... Otherwise, I could be in trouble... I need to meditate... I grow tired of watching these fools plotting away.'

Iyomelka turned away from the palace and floated toward the clouds that hid her home, where she goes to meditate and watch her followers from the astral plane.
