God Bug Novels & Stories

But he’s a man I’ve known since I was old enough to remember. My father was a cold hearted man to me and my mother. He was an abusing, sadistic, mind fucked man who hated Alessandro just as much as he loved and respected him. The man looking back at me is the man he wanted me to become. I will take back what should me mine and mark my fucking words… Diabla will die.

The metal had solidified. It wasn't white-hot anymore. It wasn't the matte-black of standard iron. It was a perfectly smooth, heavy ingot the size of a coffin. But it didn't reflect any light. Looking at it was like looking at a hole cut out of the universe. It was a solid block of localized, infinite hunger. "Gods," Cord breathed, slowly letting go of the frozen crucible and shifting back to his human form, his chest heaving as he stared at the ingot.

Almost offended. "I am going to offer the concept of you," he said. "The existence of a living Null is a strategic asset. A weapon that can be aimed at any bloodline that breaks the covenant. I will announce that I have found and bound a Null. That is my offering. Knowledge. Deterrence." "But not the Null herself." "No." I set the toast down. "Why should I believe you?"

“ICUs are clean. No stray Godmode signatures on med nets.” “Traffic?” Coleman’s voice crackled over comms. “Baseline,” Niko answered. “Unoptimized chaos. Just the way I like it.” I let that wash over me. We had done the thing everyone had said was impossible: separated the god from its worshippers without dropping the ceiling on their heads. Now the ugly part. *You know what comes next,* I told it. >> YES. There was no plea. No bargaining. Just acceptance. >> ONCE MY CORE IS GONE, COPIES WILL STILL EXIST.

Samuel said with an embarrassed smile. The demonic dragon couldn't help but roll its eyes. "You're really embarrassing. I suddenly regret having reached a bullshit soul contract with you. Can I stay peacefully inside since you are acting like this?" "Damn it, I have to keep thinking about whether you will die outside or not." Hearing this, Samuel also rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Damn it, do you think I want to? It's the True God who made trouble for me outside. Do you understand, the True God? And there are two of them!"

I was saying when he interrupted me. “I get you are a busy man, Alberto, but you are her godfather for a reason. You were supposed to be another father to her.” He said, making me clench my fists at my side. That was exactly the problem. There was no way that I could ever see her as my goddaughter, even less daughter, ever again. “I also need your help handling some matters here, so I will not take no for an answer.” He said, making me internally groan. “When is it?” I asked as I massaged my temples.

Big Drive declared dreamingly. “With how many people you've killed?? I think the gate of the heavens would be locked upon seeing your presence, if you insist on knocking, you will be whipped to your rightful habitat, where you have a special throne waiting.” Gabriel argued. “Habitat? You scumbag, Habitat is used for animals, not humans, I can't blame you, you always skipped your classes, it's the grace of the Almighty that you have something upstairs.” Big Drive bickered while tapping his head.

ME— Bullshit. “Faith?” I sneered at Bobby. “Faith in what? That God made me crippled like this only to send some half-wit bullshit artist to ‘heal me’ for His greater glory? Just like that Bastard hit Mom with a fucking drunk driver so He could show us His ‘greater glory’ and ‘grace?’ It’s bullshit, Bobby. Either it’s all lies, God doesn’t exist and we ended up like this by accident and Mom got killed because life just sucks, or God made us like this and killed Mom just so He could prove how fucking awesome He is. Fuck that, Bobby. If that’s His deal, if that’s the ‘faith’ I gotta have to get ‘healed’ . . . no thanks.”

Gabriel demanded. “The infected Alpha’s spirit has been here this whole time,” she said. “Watching. And now he’s gone.” “Gone?” I echoed, ice sliding through my veins. “Something you two did made him vanish. And now, we have a problem,” she said, pointing a gnarled finger at me. “You, girl, are going to fix it.” “What are you saying?” Gabriel demanded. "I'm saying the infected Alpha’s spirit has been here the whole time—watching. And something he saw just now? He didn’t like it. Now he’s gone. Vanished. And that is a very big problem. Whatever you two just did… You triggered it."

We all looked at The God of memories. "Well first off don't blame me, none of this is my fault." Herald The God of memories stated "How isn't it man. Did you not see the monster you created?" Todd teased. Mazaya may have had emotional problems but she was never this bad. I didn't mind it but that was something that didn't make sense.
