Premise

The story begins with Cassandra Fusallo, an anthropomorphic possum who is a citizen of The Multiverse. After a major battle with her older sister, Catalana Fusallo, she seals her under the weight of her new experiment universes, Arc-Nyx.

Arc-Nyx are alternate universes, created to study the Butterfly Effect by removing a hydrogen atom from Nyx, transferring into Arc. During the early creation of the alternate universes, a wandering ruler from an ancient cosmic empire (which completely died off due to the death of the universe creator), who would become the Fire Divinity and the central star, Vulcan, joins the creation of both universes. Him and Cassandra unionize (marry), creating 17 demigod children whose task is to build both Arc and Nyx planets together with Cassandra’s three divinities.

At this time, a fallen angel from another universe approaches Cassandra, asking her for a home. Having no physical appearance, she places the appearance of a coyote on him. He reveals himself to be Lucifer Morningstar, leader of Hell. Cassandra lets him in on the premise that he does not interfere with her experiments. He complies, living in the deep mantle of both Arc and Nyx.

For thousands of years, humans have fought for control over the world against the 3 divinities, namely the Divinity of Water, Guinevere, the Divinity of Earth, Ruby and the Divinity of Wind, Aeolus.

As proto-humans began to evolve over millennia, the three divinities began to see these early humans as capable of extreme intelligence. As time went on, the divinities slowly incorporated the humans into their sphere of influence, initially commanding them into working for them. The end goal of the divinities is to eventually take control of the entire planet and spread their influence across the Multiverse.

Early human tribes that revolted at the time, faced harsh punishment such as imprisonment, starvation or even death. Eventually, through word of mouth between various tribal contacts, humanity began recognizing these divinities as “tyrannical” and “dictators”. The first act of violent revolts against the divinities began in 2993 BCE (Before Common Era, or otherwise known as the Elemental Era), with a loose collection of 83 tribes, known as the Carneasians, declaring war on the divinities. Using their best weapons at the time (hwachas, slingshots and catapults), they managed to injure Aeolus and Guinevere, the latter of whom managed to escape by summoning a strong typhoon, killing nearly all the Carneasian tribes. Only the Burian and the Gers tribes survive.

Over the next 3000 years, humanity would attempt time and time again to end the divine rule. In 35 BCE, a man named Magnya Ullisca, rallied his two tribes together, declaring the largest war in the history of Arc-Nyx. This is known as the Elemental War, lasting for 35 years. The Elemental War ends when Magnya himself, in a desperation after losing battle after battle, mustered the courage to perform a potentially world-ending swing of his greatsword. Wielding his greatsword engulfed in flames blessed by the fourth Divinity of Fire, Vulcan, he swung it as hard as he could against the three divinities at once with an energy concentration so great it ripped open spacetime.

The breakout event of the Butterfly Effect occurred in the immediate aftermath of the swing. In both Arc and Nyx, Magnya dies from the impact.

In Nyx, the three divinities sustained major injuries, with Ruby losing her left front limb and Aeolus losing a leg. All three divinities survive, however, and over the next 2000 years, humanity would continue to battle with the divinities (mostly Guinevere and Aeolus), developing technology at a rapid rate.

In Arc, the divinities were immediately wiped out, giving the first victory to humanity, beginning the Post-Elemental Era (PE).
