In an instant I was already where I needed to be. Location coding is rather simple, I just didn't want to take my time traveling. I now stood behind a man who looked like what most anyone would Imagine God to be. A white silhouette that flickered black to white stood before me, a massive yellowish-gold light beamed from around him, I felt him watching me despite the appearance that he was not even facing me.

There was no delay, energy shot out of the god figure and I immediately felt the rock in my head began to take the blunt of his attack. The Body instantaneously appeared, slamming into God in a body five times larger than he had before.

It was too late to stop God from damaging my core existence. The attack he had jolted my head with ... I was so under prepared.

Collapsing on the white and yellow slabs of stone I found God's half standing on, my vision blurred, and I felt like I had to vomit while simultaneously getting the sensation that the black hole within my head was sucking my mind into itself.

I heard a scream like I had never heard before. It wasn't coming from The Body. I looked up with my failing eyes and saw God's hand explode into bloody shards for everyone to see. He had attempted to strike The Body down, yet his violence turned on him tenfold without any reaction from The Body.

I could see God wielding a sword in his remaining hand as he reformed the other. He took a clear swing at The Body, attempting to decapitate my creation.

As the blade approached The Body's head, God slowed until coming to a complete state of standing paralysis. His hand remained half formed, his aura flickered like a light bulb in its last minutes. His whole body, now frozen in place as if his muscles had become cement.

It was clear The Body had defeated the second half of God. As I felt relief, I allowed myself to collapse completely, yet I remained conscious.

I could see The Body walking over to me, his thoughts, I could not feel them anymore, I could not communicate with him or even sense his presence in the way I was used to. In his warm giant arms, I felt myself lifted. I dangledt there like a child who had just fallen from a bike.

The Body walked away from the second God Half, I looked back and saw the frozen man begin to crumble into shards of stone, then into dust till eventually he was nothing.

The body placed his hand over my eyes as I felt blood from my skull seep out of my forehead trickling down into my ears as I remained in his arms. I heard popping noises, and I felt my bones being pulled out of my brain where the second God had crushed them in to me.

With only minutes passed I was fully healed again. The Body had taken me to a wooded area far from where the last God fell. Placing me to a standing position, The Body spoke. "The first God was very informative.' I quickly replied "Yes clearly you learned some deal, you handled the second like he was nothing. But..." The Body interrupted me, "The reason you can't read my mind, the reason you can't even sense me is because to defeat the first God I had to operate in a n entirely different universe of code."

For once in a long time I was completely lost. I replied, "Go on." The body nodded to me and continued "This world, everything we know here, it operates in on a system, one program. Everything on this world is accessible by you & me... but it is also accessible by the Gods."

I began to understand what The Body was talking about. He was going to tell me that he had found a way to prevent the Gods from altering his code. The Body interrupted my thoughts "What you're thinking is somewhat true, but in reality I don't even operate off code anymore. I am no longer a prisoner to programming. " Just like that I was completely lost again. The Body continued, "There is a realm of existence beyond our own, beyond the universe, beyond all we know. To put it simply, humans are to computers, as I now am to humans. My existence is far more complicated than comparatively simple lines of code you designed me with."
