Chapter 1: Dawn of Creation

In the beginning, before the Multiverse was created, existed the Primal Monitor and Tori-bot. The Primal Monitor was the abstract, conscious, void outside all creation. Tori-bot was the personable, conscious, machine outside all creation. In the bleak void of nothingness, Tori-bot began to grow bored. Seeking to alleviate his ennui, the mischievous Tori-bot decided to play with the Primal Monitor. Creating a brush, Tori-bot began to draw on the blank canvas that was the Primal Monitor. As Tori-bot continued to draw his artwork spawned structures of infinitesimal, rippling, manifolds upon whose surface intricate germ-like processes thrived and multiplied.

These rippling manifolds were the Multiverse, infinite in number. [1]

Thinking these complexities and contradictions were a flaw, The Primal Monitor created The Presence to watch over them. The Presence was the child of the Primal Monitor, grafted with the powers of its creator. To assist him The Presence created Michael Demiurgos and Samael, who would later go on to be known as Lucifer. Michael and his brother Lucifer were the first creations of The Presence, and each was gifted with a specific power from their creator. Samael was gifted with the power of fire and indomitable will. Michael, his brother, was gifted with demiurgic power, the power of creation. The brothers would go on to become the first angels and the first to be welcomed into heaven.

With his demiurgic powers, Michael created the concepts of magic, Ki, cosmic and primordial power, time, dreams, and emotions. The seven beings known as The Endless- death, delirium, desire, despair, destiny, destruction, and dream were inadvertently created from this power. Ageless, immortal, and nigh-omnipotent, the Endless became the embodiment for the fundamental forces of existence itself. Other beings such as Rama Kushna, the embodiment of Karma, and Kismet were born from Michael's power. Eventually, after eons, Samael grew tired of the Presence' reign and lead a rebellion against his creator. A civil war across heaven ensued, pitting Lucifer and his followers against Michael and the heavenly host.

Samael was defeated and cast out of heaven into the void known as the Chaoplasm. This void would later become known as Hell, the house of torment for the damned. It was during this time that Samael officially adopted the name Lucifer. Out of the heavenly rebellion, several cosmic entities were spawned. The Spectre, a repentant angel who had rebelled with Lucifer became the divine incarnation for the Presence' wrath. The Radiant, the Spectre's opposite, and sister, was created to counteract the Presence vengeance and serve as his mercy. The Word, the brother to the Spectre and the Radiant, would become the Presence' executioner, destroying anything and anyone that threatened his master. [2]

Following these events, during the First World when the Universe was still young, the GodWorld was formed out of native elements. The GodWorld – also known as Asgaard or Urgrund – was a huge planet at the very heart of the cosmos. After billions of years, the First World slowly segued into the Second World as the humanoid lifeforms on the GodWorld attained godhood. Around this time the Maltusians, the race that would become the Guardians of the Universe gained sentience. The gods on Godworld eventually began to bicker and fight with one another resulting in a cataclysmic event that would spell their doom; Ragnarök.

The energy unleashed by the explosion of the GodWorld spread across the universe, generating what later became known as the GodWave. Out of the Godwave various pantheons of gods, and divine entities, such as the Kai's were birthed, giving rise to the Third World. As the wave spread it eventually reached the edge of the universe and rebounded, making a second pass that created the potential for Superhumans. The Godwave was responsible for creating the likes of the Speed Force, the Quantum Field, and the forces that would eventually allow for the creation of the objects known as the Dragonballs.

Billions of years after the cataclysm, the molten remnants of the GodWorld began to cool and formed two separate planets: the dark Apokolips and the light New Genesis. As humanoid life appeared, it became obvious that the hearts of the denizens mirrored their worlds. The denizens of green New Genesis dedicated themselves to peace and happiness. The savage Apokolips brought forth a war-like race which had originated with one of the witches of the old world. The 'Fourth World' began as these New Gods attained godhood. Destined to repeat history, war eventually broke out between the New Genesis and Apokolips, and the hostilities remain to this day.

Authors Note: This chapter was necessary to explain how DC deities and DBZ entities simultaneously exist with one another. I'll probably write another one of these types of chapters later, but I don't want to reveal too much right now.

[1]: The Primal Monitor, simply put, is the canvas the writer, in the case me- uses. Since the writer of the story is basically the Primal Monitor I decided that The Presence would be a creation of the Primal Monitor, grafted of its power. This also negates the contradiction of The Presence and the Primal Monitor both creating the Multiverse since they are now tied to one another. Also, since the Primal Monitor is essentially a blank canvas I decided that Tori-bot, who is Akira Toriyama, would share responsibility for creating the Multiverse.

[2]: The Spectre, Radiant, and The Word all being created at the same time didn't originally occur in DC, but it made more sense to me for it to occur this way.

Q/A:

SeanHicks4: Thank you for pointing out the grammar mistakes in the previous chapter, I went back and corrected them. The back story of what went down with the PTO and the Guardians will eventually be shown as the story progresses.

EgyLynx: I have no idea what your review was trying to say.

Itheone: Krypton got destroyed; there wasn't really much else to expand upon. Thanks for the kind words. I wish you success on your story as well.

ArmyWife22079: Videl's origin will be the same; I don't plan on changing that.

Legionary Prime: Yes this story will use events from both Universes.

Blinded in a bolthole: I know about DBO and the information that was revealed in it but as I stated in a previous chapter I didn't want everyone to be able to use Ki. Making Ki usage specific to Homo Magki was my way of ensuring that only DBZ humans could use it. For the most part, I'm not a fan of power crossovers. Having a tail might not seem that odd to you but when Bulma initially met Goku she was surprised at the fact that he had a tail, even after living in a world where all those things existed.
