[Delete] | "There was a being, simply known as... Him. Who had collected objects of supreme power. Rather than bend reality itself to his will with this power, he simply appeared simultaneously in every ruler's presence and gave them a simple demand. Work together, or he would tear all of reality apart and rebuild it himself.
Of course he was challenged. After about a week of proving to the strongest and most malevolent empires across reality that he was simply unassailable, they all agreed to sit down and work out the Galactic Treaty. Of course Him was there, to make sure that the process went well. And, every species or empire that signed the Treaty, was bound by Him to work within its boundaries.
Minor infractions would be policed by the rest of them members of the Treaty. If the members could not police themselves... Him would simply step in, and remove, utterly that member empire from reality. Entirely. I know it is hard to comprehend but the power of Him and his artifacts is effectively infinite. Gems, survivors of a previous reality, adorn a golden gauntlet on his right hand. Power over space, time, reality and more... all at his beck and call. Needless to say, the members of the Treaty would rather Arbitrate or handle infractions rather than risk all of reality being altered by Him as he watches from some place outside space and time..."
And he would sit there quietly listening, his eyes focused on the teacher. To keep that focus Dameon would raise his hand, "This being simply known as "Him" were there any rumors of proposals that he was the supreme being that many religions on our world and others worship?" he would ask his face showing genuine curiosity while inside he was pushing an equation regarding a CO2 mixture to the back of his head.
"Good question Mister Thomson. On the contrary, no. He did not want to be worshipped. His stated desires were simply for there to be as much peace as possible in reality. No one knows where or when Him is, only that he is watching, and anything that we cannot work out among ourselves, He would resolve. No empire wants to be stripped from existence and memory. He proved that he could do that, against any force the Galaxy had to offer against Him. He simply... watches, from somewhere in Infinity. Any other questions or should I move on to how the Arbitration works?"
**As Mason begins speaking, he'd start writing the information down, making sure he didn't miss anything as he also listens to the speech that was being given by the teacher, before he'd raise his hand as well** How could such items be survivors of a previous galaxy? Wouldn't they have been wiped out also as a part of it being destroyed along with everything else if that was the case?
"How indeed, Mister Dorian? No one knows, but they have been scanned and their age is several times longer than our best estimates at the age of our reality, so while it is impossible that they exist, it is also impossible that they do not. To fully explain, you would have to speak with someone highly knowledgeable about physics such as our Professors Stark and Stern, and maybe sit down for a nice Zen talk with our Mister Himura, and then perhaps you may grasp how the impossible is also the mandatory."
