7. Unholy Setup

Unholy Setup

Inside the ominous sphere atop the Dark Gateway of Divinity, Sefira felt a rush of power coursing through her essence. At the very center of her Darkest Domain, the Lesser Darkness welcomed the ability to see all non-primordial beings, wherever they were throughout the omniverse that was Creation itself, and she also welcomed the ability to hear them all.

Because of collective warping of time by the Dark Archangels and Dark Arch-Nephilim, their dark creator saw no need to cast an immediate gaze of darkness upon anything celestial, for such could not escape the temporal manipulation. She turned to the primary purpose of her realm, and then images of those intelligent creations of hers who lived on the physical plane appeared on all the edges of her contraption.

These beings, the Adonim, were the ones that she had created in her new image of the Darkness and God. These were the beings that were created as the result of the use of controlled darkness, unlike the humanity that had been created as the result of the use of uncontrolled darkness.

"Let's see," she drawled, "Uncle arranged a setup for his unrefined representations of the existential balance to, at some point, eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad. However, they ate the forbidden fruit too early."

During that moment, the Dark Herald drew upon her preternatural knowledge of the event, including all its participants and all the other intricate details. A smirk emerged on her face.

"I will set up my superior creations, my refined representations of the existential balance, in a more dramatic manner. I will set them up to be dependent upon me physically as well as spiritually, and they will obey me," she resolved darkly.

She then instructed her Dark Archangels and their Dark Arch-Nephilim to release from their manipulation of time the Adonim, their worlds, and all relevant astronomical objects. Afterwards, she executed her unholy setup.

Immediately, the Adonim were subjected to the hardship of life-threatening thirst and hunger. No matter which dimension of the omniverse they resided, they had become emaciated and were fearful of their impending deaths immediately after their genesis. Without any remorse for her near-genocidal act, the capricious Lesser Darkness had made these physical creations of hers go through a most gruesome test.
