Deus Ex Machine (DEM)

In contrast to demigods, demi-humans are people who have had their God's nuclei transplanted. Half of the core is transplanted to such people, because the transplantation of a complete core inevitably leads to the decomposition of the body. Such employees are distinguished by various abilities (from seeing in the dark to sensing Rift changes and everything in between) and mutations (anything from eye flowers to body changes to animal elements and everything in between). There are few such employees because transplanting even half of a god's nuclei is dangerous if the human body is not trained.

In the event of the death of one of the gods, a god will be born in his home world, embodying the quality that the deceased god had. It exists for the sake of maintaining balance

Years of development led to the creation of a special weapon. It worked on the principle of god weapons, resonating with cores from the bodies of deceased gods (most often, the organization found them at the sites of Rift creatures' attacks). Over time, the organization learned to create various types of weapons in this way, from swords to assault rifles and grenades (and sometimes even power-suit upgrades). These discoveries were largely made possible by the god of craftsmanship, Argos (who also created the mannequin in the data library at the Valkyrie Temple).

Majority of workers are humans and gods who disagree with human slavery. There are fewer Valkyries and Demi-humans

Centers are the main buildings in certain territories, including important barracks, camps for the rescued, laboratories, and academies for training employees. Cities built by the organization are also included in this list

In short and crudely, this can be described as modernity with a mythological tint. The appearance of cities and their architecture are largely influenced by the gods who inhabit these territories. As a result, there is a wide variety of cities, ranging from ordinary high-rise buildings to fascinating cities on (or in) the ocean and underground cities. IMPORTANT:Cities built by Deus Ex Machine, unlike other cities, are built in hard-to-reach places and are similar in structure: something ordinary, but even beautiful and most importantly convenient

Distant future. The Time of the Fifth Council of the Gods

Wormholes have started to appear on Earth, unlike the ones that the gods come through - these wormholes last for a long time and constantly flash with strange colors. Inside the Rifts, there is a constantly changing world and creatures whose appearance is also strange and often unstable. The Rifts are dangerous because the monsters within them are often capable of killing gods, leading to frequent deaths among both gods and humans. The Rifts disappear over time, depending on how strong each one is (the larger the Rift, the stronger it is). Also, in rare cases, stable Faults may appear, their difference is that they last longer than others.

The temple is located in the territories of the god of winter, Okram. It is a majestic building that serves as both a home for the Valkyries and a hub for the operations of Deus Ex Machine. The building is divided into two floors, with the first floor serving as a residence for several Valkyries and employees, as well as a central hub for communication with other important locations within the organization. The second or lower floor is a data library, managed by a mannequin-like figure who is available to provide employees with any information they may require.

The body responsible for checking the execution of the orders of the Council of God and the God's Judgement. They are like a police force made up of the most experienced and powerful gods. Their buildings are located all over the world (and even in several worlds) and are constantly working to investigate violations in the world of God.

Supreme Court of Justice. It is governed by 100 gods who are somehow related to justice, tactics, and other things. They issue laws for smaller courts. However, the court only deals with attempts to assassinate the Council of Gods or revolutions in the divine world.

To rescue people from slavery (through ransom or, in many cases, the murder of a cruel slave-owning god), provide them with a home and protection. Also, deal with and study the Rift, improve organization techniques, and delve deeper into new

The Valkyries were created to oversee the orders of the First Council of Gods, but they became unnecessary and were replaced by the wings of Themis, starting with the emergence of the Third Council of Gods. The Valkyries have a semi-divine origin, so they can also travel through the paths between worlds, but they now focus on helping humans.

There are nuclei inside every creature, but only after the death of a god do the nuclei live for more than a week. When other creatures die, the nuclei disappear. God's Nuclei are the nuclei themselves. They are divided into two layers: an outer shell called the soul (which stores memories) and an inner shell called the echo (which stores personality and all outgoing information).

The organization was able to exist thanks to the help of a Valkyrie named Brunhilda. During the fourth selection of the Council of Gods, she visited the world where the Council was being selected and proposed the idea of creating an organization that would deal with the issue of the Rifts, in exchange for which the Council would grant permission to eliminate certain gods, the lists of which Brunhilda would provide to the Council for consideration. The Council of Gods agreed due to the fact that the Rifts were a problem and due to the nature of the birth of new gods.

The structure of the world is a network of worlds connected by invisible paths that only the gods can walk. There are many worlds, and each has its own god, but many of them have moved to Earth.

The gods are divided into the Elder and the Younger The Elder represent the sum of some qualities. For example: war The Younger represent only one quality. For example: cruelty or strategy Among them there are also the Ancient gods. These are those who are connected to a certain world, like the soul with the body. Now only two are known: the goddess Cosmos and the god Necros. Both never appear and do not contact with other gods No gods can be killed with normal weapons, and the gods themselves only use weapons that can resonate with their core, which greatly enhances the weapon. This weapon can already kill a god (it is impossible to kill an Ancient god in this way)

This is an organization that was built by the Valkyries and the gods who disagreed with human slavery. It is a network of locations around the world, including communication centers, military centers, medical centers, camps (temporary resting places for the rescued), and cities (permanent residences for the people rescued by the organization, often located in remote areas).

Council of Gods is the main governing body in the current world. The world chooses 12 gods to serve on the Council, who give orders to the other gods and regulate everything

Due to the arrival of the gods on earth and their settlement, humans became their slaves. This is largely due to the fact that the gods were not accustomed to considering other beings as their equals.

Among the vast majority of slave owners, there were a few gods who opposed this practice. For example, all the gods associated with coldness did not support slavery because it "contradicted the perfection of the gods."

In the past, all the gods lived in different worlds, depending on their purpose and nature. However, 1200 years ago, the World (an intangible entity) summoned them together and ordered them to establish a common government. This led to the creation of the God Council, a body that regulated the interactions of the gods in all the worlds and consisted of 12 gods chosen by the World.

With the establishment of the God Council, there were many dissenters who opposed the idea of being regulated. These dissenters united and began to prepare. After 1,000 years, the council was supposed to meet again to re-elect the rulers, but the dissenters rose up and unleashed a wave of murder. At the same time, the Titans (distorted giants resembling grotesque nature) were released, and they also began to kill the gods. The survivors fled, and the goddess Cosmos sent the Titans to Earth to prevent them from eating the godly cores left behind by the deceased gods.

Three decades later, the god Necros was born in the depths of the Titan world. He studied the nature of God's nuclei and concluded that
