Nietzsche Death Of God Novels & Stories

But now, even he was deeply shaken by the tragic state of the body. As I watched his reaction, all I could do was let out a bitter laugh. Would he still be this outraged if he knew the body was mine? After all, during that final call before my death, he'd casually suggested that I could drop dead somewhere. Evan composed himself and carried on with the autopsy. All of a sudden, he became startled and reached out to gently caress my calf. Tensing up, I tightened my fists. Was he finally going to realize it was me?

was a copy of me with my memories and my thought patterns, he was still a separate entity. If he were just an NPC generated by the game, then after getting blown up, he should reset and respawn in the next loop. But what if, in this death-loop game, he was an actual independent life form? What if he were someone like me, another player bound by the same rules? I rolled out of bed, rushed into the living room, and grabbed my phone from the corner. The whole process of my last death was recorded clearly on it. I watched myself die. Because gasoline vapor was actually more flammable than liquid gas, he actually died before I did. And then, after he died, I was burned alive by the gasoline.

“Uh... powers?” She sighs like I’m the dense one here. “Sure, but also—we can’t die.” I blink. “Lucifer decapitated Hades. That seems pretty damn dead to me.” “Shit, you really don’t know, do you?” she asks. “Obviously not. Spit it out.” “Gods don’t die, Nyx. We can be killed—but that’s different from death. Death is permanent. When we’re killed, our souls live on.”

Present, entirely and irrefutably, against the thing that specialized in the felt reality of absence. The god of death pushed against a territory that was more alive, at this moment, than it had been in forty years. And for the second time since his arrival, he stopped.

“It activates only when imbalance reaches an irreversible point.” Kieran’s voice grows fierce. “Irreversible? We are here.” “Yes,” Death says. “And you are the imbalance.” The words strike like a blade. Silence. Kieran releases me slowly. “Say that again.” Death does not hesitate. “Singular rule. Counterforce design. Rapid divine expansion. It interprets all of it as destabilization.” The Newborn God’s voice tightens. “It sees us as an error.” My breath grows thin. “You built this,” I say to Death.

she says confidently. “How are you so sure?” Chris wonders aloud. “Because Mei would not exist if he was.” “I don’t follow,” he says confused. “When a God dies, all their power dies with them, meaning everything they ever created; everything their magic touched, reverts to its original state. Basically, if Oshmin was dead all nagata would cease to exist.” Chris gulps and Axel howls as a shudder rocks through me. The thought that my very existence is held in someone else’s hands is terrifying, mostly because it’s something I experienced for most of my life, and I don’t like feeling that way.

I pressed for an answer with such deep emotion. The God of Death seemed steadfast in his decision. He doesn't feel sorry for me, who is currently in despair. “The life of a special being is a sign of humility, but it is also part of a finite creation. I cannot make exceptions.” A feeling of frustration washed over me, crushing my hopes. “Then what am I supposed to do? How can I live without my mate? She's everything to me!” The God of Death looked at me without pity. “Life and death are part and parcel of the universe. Time will never go backward. You must accept this fate before regretting everything.”

Death was calming himself down before speaking. 'Persephone's cooking. Ra's beer. Tera's singing.' "Shiva, Vishnu, good to see you again." Death said through his teeth. "While I appreciate wanting to include me in your practice, I will have to politely decline, as I am on a mission right now." Normally Death wouldn't be as angry at the gods, but found that all this talk of "bad feelings" combined with Cytus had put him a little on edge.

And It doesn't matter if you're the richest or the poorest, death is going to come for you one day. My grandmother used to say, "Everyone's time of death has already been predestined and signed by God, and nothing can change it." And as young as I was back then, I wondered what if I decided to kill a man, would I be doing what God had already predestined or would I be trying to change the man's time of death? My grandmother's answer to the question would always be, "Even if you plan a man's death if you succeed it would be because it was his time." So, as I planned the senator's death, it gave me a kind of weird comfort that if I succeeded, it would be because God himself wanted the man dead
