I did it!
I made the world breaker!
From a young age, I knew that I was different than the rest. My parents, good people, but devout people, believed in a kind, benevolent God. I saw no evidence of any such thing. If God existed, why was the world such a effed-up place?
My atheism made me ambivalent towards God: how can you have feelings towards something that does not exist? But when that disease took my parents, and I saw the loving, caring people I once knew reduced to a slobbering mass, I felt a burning hatred in my heart. If God exists, I will find him, and I will make him pay.
Today, as I finished building the World breaker, I can peel the veil across dimensions. If there is a God, I will find him.
It took me multiple days, but I think I finally have the right settings. As the world before me vanishes, I see an unending horizon of white light. And in front of me, a massive Golden throne. And a being slumped in it.
Is it dead?
“No, not dead”, a voice inside my head: “But close to breaking”
“Good.” I voice out aloud: “Maybe you should have broken and died a long time ago. Perhaps that would have stopped giving false hopes to people “
The voice was silent for a second. “Look” it said.
And I saw a blackness, blacker than black, that was slowly eating away reality. And this being, if it was God, was holding this thing to a standstill. But it was fighting a losing battle, for it could only hold this thing back, not push it back.
Side note: If you wondered why aliens never found us, you know now. This thing ate them.
“What is it?” I asked.
“The devoured. The end of all things. The heat death of the universes.”
“Shouldn’t you be able to defeat it easily?” I sneered: “You are the OG God afterall “
“You misunderstand, child. I am the God of this Universe, while that thing is the end of all Universes that exists and all reality as you know it.”
“It has consumed an infinite number of Gods from other universes and added their power to its own. It’s more powerful than any God in any universe.”
“Eventually I will lose, and it will consume all of this Universe and me and move on to the next one. But till that moment I will hold the line so that this universe can thrive.”
As the horror of this inevitability became clear to me, I sank to my knees. Then for the first time ever, I wept.

I would just like to add that I think it is odd such a bitter seeming character had never wept before.
