Primordial Stalemate
Together, the dark cloud and the divine light travelled forward in time again. Surprised about this temporal jump, the Darkness was compelled to ask God about it.
"Brother, why this jump?" she inquired with a childlike tone once again.
"For too many millions of years, my four immediate sons and the original Leviathans waged their primordial war," narrated her younger brother, "Victories for each side were short-lived, thus for all intents and purposes they were locked in a stalemale."
Instinctively, the true primordial chaos became reminded all too well about just how long it took the four immediate nephews of hers just to soften her up during their own terrible war, before they resorted to trickery and launched their final combined assault of full chronokinesis and combined smiting.
This time, however, the two primordial combiners possessed more than enough intelligence to mitigate many of their opponents' tricks and even avoid some of them altogether. This was in addition to being capable of adapting to celestial attacks short of divine intervention.
"Meanwhile, what were you doing all this time?" quipped the confidante.
"I spent my time creating the first two non-corporeal realms, designing them specifically to imprison these primordial combiners," disclosed the confidant, "Sometime before this point in time, however, I armed my sons with an enormous arsenal of Hands of God."
"Hands of God?" the former asked innocently.
"Like that horn Lucifer tried to harm you with," clarified the latter, "At this point in time, however, my sons used a number of these items in their strikes against the enemy, but to no avail."
The older sister noticed the frustration emanating from the past version of her eldest nephew.
"Michael was frustrated," continued the younger brother, "because he and the other three had not thought outside the box with regards to weapons. They all considered their weapons strictly in terms of design specifications. That is, they did until this point."
"So, what happened next?" wondered the Darkness.
"They used the Hands of God to bring into existence creations that would tip the scales in their favour," recollected God.
