Targets By Type
Not only did Sefira ponder about drawing all targeted pagan deities into a singular cosmic trap, but she also pondered about dividing and conquering them by type, not by pantheon. The Lesser Darkness found unlikely inspiration in what her mother, the Darkness, had experienced recently: sequential assaults by witches, angels, demons, and an archangel.
The dark essence contemplated the different types of these self-declared deities, starting with those of the upper world. She regarded the distant star deities with contempt, perceiving their inability to harness the power of more than a single star at a time, let alone create or destroy such a star. She harbored no more respect towards the mix of immediate solar deities, lunar deities, illuminative deities, and deities of the dawn. She did, however, draw parallels between the sky deities and weather deities, on the one hand, and the collective capabilities of the angels, on the other; the storm deities, wind deities, thunder deities, and rain deities were opponents not to be belittled.
Next, she took note of the parallels between the self-declared deities of the underworld and her own replacement of Death. She was the genuine being for such, while those pretenders were not.
Moving on, she reflected upon the more numerous types of self-declared deities claiming godhood over the human sphere itself. She did a comprehensive evaluation of the deities of the earth itself and of various types of flora and fauna, and she also compared and contrasted the deities of various bodies of water with the deities of fire. She did a more cursory evaluation of the deities of the occupations. She took note of the parallels between some types of deities over abstractions and the Horsemen, while being thankful that the Fates were no longer in the pagan ranks. She reminded herself that she was far greater than any self-proclaimed deity over any other kind of abstraction, and became wary about showing any compassion towards the deities of fertility and love.
Last, but not least, Sefira breathed heavily upon acknowledging that the numbers of self-declared deities were in the billions, precisely because of the great numbers of household deities and other local deities. For her pagan opponents, these numerous beings were the angels to their gods and goddesses.
After all that, the Lesser Darkness settled for a noticeable demonstration of her destructive power upon Anduruna.
