But, now is not the time for that. There are still some things you must do.

You create an orb that allows you to see possible futures. It can see upwards of one thousand years ahead. You do not have time to check it this second though, as you are going to see your son, Hate.
You walk into his room and find him finishing up one of his wall paintings.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT, DAD?" He asks.

Guys, what if we created the ultimate masochist and then agony dotted them?

Agony dotting Retis is senseless but I think we should try to experiment.

"YEAH, YOU BETTER. GOD KNOWS I'M NOT GONNA BE THE ONE DOING IT. OR... YOU KNOW... OR... FUCK. IT'S WEIRD USING THE WORD 'GOD' CASUALLY WHEN THE GUY IS LITERALLY YOUR DAD."
You explain your intentions with the competitions were not cruel ones.
"SURE, BUT YOU'RE STILL USING THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS LIKE PLAYTHINGS. LISTEN, DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT, BUT I'M NOT HAVING ANY PART OF IT."
You explain that you aren't telling him what to do when giving him advice and that you'd just like to see him improve.
"YEAH, YEAH, I GET IT. DON'T MIND ME. YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, I'M JUST KIND OF A STUBBORN ASSHOLE. SEE, THE FIRST STEP IS ADMITTING IT. THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES ME FROM LIFE, AND MOST OF THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS FUCKED UP UNIVERSE."
You ask him if he hates you.
"NO."
You tell him you would have expected him to enjoy cruel things, as he is The God of Hate.
"CLEARLY YOU DIDN'T READ MY BOOK. I DO NOT USE THE WORD HATE THE WAY DICTIONARIES SAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE USED. 'HATE' IN MY MIND IS NOT AN INTENSE DISLIKE OF SOMETHING. IT'S A REJECTION OF EVERYTHING SEPARATE FROM THE INDIVIDUAL. LOOKING OUT FOR YOURSELF, AND ONLY YOURSELF. WHEN YOU FOLLOW HATE, THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR IS THE INDIVIDUAL. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, NO CREED, NO HONOR, NO RELIGION, NOTHING. THE INDIVIDUAL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. THAT'S WHY I GET SO PISSED OFF WHEN YOU PEOPLE USE REAL-LIFE PEOPLE AS LITTLE PLAYTHINGS. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DESERVE TO BE TREATED THAT WAY ARE THOSE WHO IMPEDE ON OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO BE OURSELVES AND LOOK OUT FOR OURSELVES. SO WHEN I SAY I 'HATE' EVERYTHING, I'M MORE SO SAYING THAT EVERYTHING BUT MYSELF AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS DO NOT MATTER. IT'S SORT OF LIKE... YOU ARE YOUR OWN GOD."

You thank Chaos for explaining himself, before excusing yourself.
While on your way to go talk to Retis, you pick up a copy of The Book of Hate. Seems the whole thing is pretty in line with what Chaos described. The first few chapters contain the Greethian creation story, while the rest of the book is dedicated to explaining Chaos´ philosophy and giving advice on how Chaos believes mortals should approach life. The book teaches that one's individuality and sense of self are the most important things, and so looking out for oneself and other individuals should be prioritized over all things.
At first, it seems somewhat narcissistic, but the book also teaches that EVERYONE is an individual, and so the lives of all people should be protected and respected. The book also teaches humility, honesty, and social etiquette.
After reading the book, you go to meet Retis. As soon as you walk into her office she springs up and runs over to greet you, holding an envelope in her hand.
"Mr. God! Just in time. A letter came in for you." She says, handing the letter to you. "So, what do you need?"

You analyze the back of the letter. The party is in three days and is at some random coordinates in Blue Space. You still aren't sure if you'll go because you find this somewhat suspicious, but you're considering it.
You ask Retis why she installed cameras everywhere.
"Oh... found out about that, did you? Well, it was mostly to analyze how you guys act and interact with each other so I could be a better therapist, but now I've sort of just been watching it for fun..."
You tell Retis about what's going on with Life and ask for advice.
"Oh. I'm not really sure what to do about that. He desires attention and admiration, but giving him too much of that will just make his narcissism and delusion even worse. It's a tough situation."
You attempt to use the orb to check the future to see what attire is appropriate for the party. This does not work, however, as the party is in Blue Space, and the orb can only see into Black Space's future.
You play a little prank on Retis by making the surrounding area red for a split second before turning it back. This startles her, causing her to immediately grab a bottle of pills from her pocket and take one.
"Ah, much better." She says, sounding very relieved.

QM is the ticket for the whole family or just one member?

>>5909448
Well yeah, but Retis is also stressed. Goes without saying we'd invite Wife. I am a little hesitant to go to a party in a dimension where we aren't omnipotent. We have functionally infinite power and could do anything in Black Space. It makes no sense to risk our lives in Blue Space but parties are fun so I think we should go.

>>5909456
Wife is supposed to be more or less on our level so I think she'll be fine as long as we don't meet Kritla 2.0. As for Retis...we may need to find her some hobbies

>>5909455
(The ticket is for the whole family, so as long as they are related to you by blood they have a pass to go. So yeah, all family members can go. Whether or not all members will want to go is another story.)

>>5909458
Retis was made to be a therapist, if anyone can recognize that they're not mentally healthy, it'd be her. Oh wait, shit, she's a therapist. Fuck, she's probably more insane than Chaos.

>>5909460
Oh okay, so we can potentially bring everyone

>>5909432
Can we send remotely-controlled thrones in our place, while we and the family pilot them remotely with duplicated pairs of the empathy goggles? if so, do that.

I'd like to get some other stuff done before we go to the party, like using the goggles on the Priest and Adversary, and checking on the white cells.

In the worst timeline, everyone goes, and no one comes home.

Seems in the best outcome you brought Timmy and Peter, and decided against having a third mortal guest. You also notice in this timeline you... don't convince Life to go. Actually, you notice Life isn't even present at all.
You look a bit more, and you find there are timelines in which you bring Life, but all of them are negative in at least one minor way.

You look at a timeline in which you ask Hate on what to do. In all of the timelines, Hate jokingly tells you to kill Life, and of course, in some of them, you take him seriously.
You attempt to use the orb to look further back to before The Rapture. You are unable to get a totally clear view of the world before yours, but you manage to get something. Before The Rapture, there was a planet. This planet was very similar to Greeth, besides the fact it was a sphere rather than a disk. The planet orbited a huge star, along with many other uninhabited planets. This planet had many creatures living on it, and a had a long rich history. But this planet is long gone now.

It seems in all timelines in which you kill Life there are little to no consequences. Life is simply eventually forgotten by all who knew him, and his issues are never resolved.
You attempt to get more details about the before times. It takes some effort, and the images and information are not 100% clear, but you manage to find some things.
There was only one completely sentient species on this planet, and they were the most complex. These were the beings who shaped almost the entirety of the planet's history. They conquered first the world, and then they began conquering the stars. It was after the stars were conquered that their gods came down to reward them with perfect lives. No more hardship, no more pain, and no more work. Just full contentment for the short life they got to live. Death was cold, and black, and infinite, but at least life could finally be sweet.
Until, one day, everything ceased to be.

It's hard. Impossibly hard. But you manage to reach the cessation point.
There was someone, someone who the mortals did not like. He was a mortal too. Someone the God of Life loved more than all other mortals.
This mortal was arrogant, mean, and selfish. This mortal felt entitled to life itself.
When it was time for this mortal to die, the other mortals wanted to make him suffer. They beat, stoned, whipped, and cut him for hours, at one point even cutting out his eye. Then, they brought him to a high place, where all the cold wind could get at him, and nailed him to a cross.
The mortal screamed at his attackers and begged the gods to let him continue to live. Eventually, his desperation turned to hatred, and he began cursing the gods, especially The God of Life.
Then a voice said something. Something that the other mortals could not hear. Something that got the tortured mortal's attention.
You were unable to hear what exactly the voice said, but for some reason, you were able to recall the way the mortal looked at the person who was speaking.
This look of... something you can't quite identify.

You try to remember who the mortal was talking to... you try and try, and try...


But you won't. Not yet anyway. You know damn well you remember what I said to you. Deep down, somewhere in there. And you remember what you did to us. You remember what you made us become. And if you don't remember, you better start. Because what comes around goes around. And it's going around very

very

quickly.
Because you can't get rid of something that's part of you. No matter how hard you try.

You are unable to find anything else relating to the world before. Every time you try, the orb simply goes black. You feel... anxious for the future. How could you not with the things you see and the thoughts you've been having? And you still aren't sure if the party is a good idea...
Retis speaks up. "So... have you made a decision yet, or will we keep looking? Because I'm down to keep looking at this orb."

You look for any flaws in the orb. There are none. It seems the orb IS showing you the honest future
You ask Retis if she also only sees black, and she confirms that yes, she only sees black. You then wipe her memory of what she saw in the orb and go into another room to look at the orb by yourself.
The more you look at the orb the more it's confirmed to you that there is no timeline where Life goes to the party and everyone has a good time. There are timelines where everyone has a mostly good time and Life stays alive, but besides that there is no way you can both have Life at the party and also have a good time.
You check as far as you can into the future as you can. There are hundreds of thousands of entirely unique timelines and an infinite number of variations on all of them.
What will you do?

Seems there is a possible timeline in which you put Life in stasis and go to the party, but in all of these timelines this results in disdain from Life towards you.
If you leave Life at home it seems in most timelines he will remain in his room, not leaving for the entirety of the party.
You sort out what the orb considers to be the top 5 best far-off timelines.
In one, Life's issues are fixed, and the people on Greeth become a space-faring species. Nelson wins the champion competition and is given a place in paradise.
In another, Life's issues are fixed, and all the beings on Greeth amalgamate together into a god-like super being. You become good friends with this being, leaving Greeth empty. Nelson also wins the competition.
In another, after Nelson wins the competition, you decide Greeth is a sinful and disgusting place, and so you destroy it entirely and replace it with a planet that only holds beings that love and worship you and your family. Life's problems are also fixed.
In another, you completely take over all spaces, becoming the ultimate dictator of the entire universe. Everyone loves you, and you and your family live in perfect luxury. Life's problems are also fixed.
And finally, for some reason, there is a future that is just... nothing. For some reason, the algorithm believes that this future would be desirable to you, and you aren't sure why.

You check out a future in which you tell Life about what you saw in the orb. In most of them, Life begins to see you as a threat, and so attempts to fight you, resulting in either your death or his death.
You check out the futures in which you go alone. Most of them are mediocre, though some are pretty bad and some are pretty good.
You check out the Dictator Timeline. Seems the way you did it is by destroying Greeth and Arika and putting all your focus into your divine military. You then stormed all the spaces, capturing mortals who don't agree with your conquest and systematically killing them by cutting their throats and throwing their corpses into the vacuum of black space. After 130 years of war, all the spaces are conquered, and you are made dictator. Black space becomes nothing more than your home, and a place to store the corpses of the people who oppose you. You live in complete luxury, and everyone loves you, mostly because they aren't allowed to not love you.

You try to find a common thread in all the timelines where Life is fixed, but you fail to really find one. In some, he goes to therapy, in some he leaves to spend some time away from the family, and in the Dictator Timeline, you just used your god magic to fix him after you got tired of dealing with him. The only thing that seemed to carry over for all of them but the Dictator Timeline, is that in all of them, Life WANTED to get better, and took steps to get better by himself.
You check a future where you only take life to the Wife to the party. Mostly mediocre. You check futures where everyone attends the party by controlling thrones. In almost all of them, you are rejected at the door.

You try to find out what exactly it is you did with Life when it comes to the party in order to get these desirable outcomes. It seems, it varies. In fact, it seems there is really no surefire way of getting or preventing these outcomes, as most of the infinite timelines are just different variations on how different outcomes came to be.
It seems there are no right or wrong decisions here, as the flow of time, and what happens within it, are unpredictable and uncontrollable.
Not being able to control something makes you feel small, and you don't like that. But you suppose it can't be helped.
You are however able to gather that most of the time the timelines in which you bring Life to the party end up having less desirable outcomes.

You look into the blank timeline to see what about it is good and are unable to find anything. For one second everything is there, and the another it just... isn't. This frightens you, but you push it down.
You decide you've had enough of the orb, so you strip it of its power by making it a Stupid Orb, which makes it so that anyone who touches it loses 15 IQ points.
To calm down, you summon a piano and begin to play it. It feels... pretty natural, and you're able to play relatively well almost immediately. This is strange, but it could just be because you're God... maybe...

You call Music into the room to show her the piano you made. She seems impressed by your playing and sings a few songs with you.
You ask her if she'd like to play, and she tells you that no, she doesn't, as that is YOUR piano, and not hers. You are unsure what she means by this, but you suppose that does not matter.

You ask him what 4567 and Little Dove mean.
"You were the 4567th being to make it into paradise. Little Dove is what Life called you."
You ask him how you caused The Rapture.
"By taking too much. By stepping out of line."
You ask him if he's your father.
"I had no hand in your creation. Your real father is long gone."
You ask him if he can tell you more about the black timeline.
"No."

You ask him why he doesn't want to tell you.
"Because I know it annoys you."
You ask him what he does all day.
"I watch."
You ask him if he created all the spaces.
"No."
You ask him what he thinks about you being in Brown Space.
"I'm not sure. I'm still deciding whether or not I should torture you."
You ask him if he can send you back.
"Sure I can."
You begin singing a small melody. Time seems confused by this.

You ask him if he knows who made the spaces.
"I'm afraid not. My memory has... limits, especially since I've been around for so long. I can only really remember up to a few million or so years ago, and that amount of time is only a drop in the bucket."
You ask him if there is any point in your existence if he is the ruler of everything.
"Perhaps I've exaggerated a bit. When I say that I rule over everything, I more so mean that my domain has a constant and unstoppable effect on everything that exists. If anyone rules over everything, it is you, unfortunately. In fact, I only take the form I currently do because of you, and what you've done in Black Space."
You ask him why he wants to torture you.
"I don't, really. But it's something I've never done before. And perhaps you deserve it."
You ask him if he will send you back.
"I suppose I have no reason not to. When you want to leave just go out the door. You'll be back in Black Space."
You apologize to him for possibly killing him in one of the timelines.
"I very much doubt you killed me, but I appreciate the sentiment."
You sing a bit more, before explaining to him what music means to you. You also ask him what his favorite type of music is.
"I do not like music."
You ask him what his favorite thing is if he does not like music.
"Observing. Remembering. Knowing."

You apologize for singing, before asking if there's a way for you to contact him.
"If I want you to contact me, you'll know."
You ask him what the point of this building is.
"I live here. Every grain of sand in this building is one second passed in every space. Once the building is totally full, it empties itself once again, before once again starting to fill."
You tell him if he needs anything you'd be happy to help.
"Okay."
You ask him not to torture you, before asking if he has any advice.
"Talk to Retis. She has something for you."
You ask him what happened to the original Life and Death.
"They are gone, but are very much still alive, I can assure you."
You ask him if you can die of old age.
"Not technically, but if you are going to exist forever, then that means it is impossible for something NOT to eventually come along and kill you anyway."
You once again ask him if he wants to go to the party.
"No."
You thank him, before leaving.

You go find Music to see what happened when you reached a higher plane of existence with the power of the piano. According to her you just kinda... disappeared.
You then go to Retis' office to speak with her, she immediately greets you at the door.

Obvs. We're the best!

I think.

>>5916032
>>I don't know
Legitimately, after all the things we've seen in other dimensions, I don't know if this is true or not.

>>5916032
>I guess it depends, if you kill the leader of a nation then chaos will ensue or if you get rid of all the workers in a factory the nothing will get done. Sometimes all it takes is one person in the right place or position to make all the difference. Obviously I'm God, this place wouldn't exist if I didn't
