a few centuries later he {the protagonist} became a true god, his primary domain is the underworld, superior to his other secondary domains death, darkness, earth, aging, undead and night
his transformation made him acquire new powers in addition to increasing the former, such as age manipulation, death rays, earth manipulation and associated things like metal and gemstones and finally immortality
he was the first god but not the only one
gods came next as the god of justice, the goddess of victory, the goddess the god of forests, ...
his appearance didn't change much, just apparently a little older, had tribal tattoos on his body and was no longer completely naked, he wore a platinum chain necklace around his neck, these chains could grow and stretch indefinitely, this chain is his biggest weapon made of your own body, faith and mithril
the domains came because of how the underworld was seeing
the domains came because of how the underworld was imagined by its religion during the ages
for them the underworld is a place divided in two, for those who were good in life would go to a perfect utopia where there was no conflict and no hunger named 'prazer', while those who were evil would be put in the bad part of the underworld where there would only be a desert and much suffering this was named "dor"
stayed there until they blotted out their sins and thus reincarnated

the continent where your church is located was the fastest developing, while most remain stagnant at the level of technology comparable to the middle ages your continent has already reached the level of technology of the 18th century, there were already cars, steam-powered , lamps ... and all areas of science were more advanced as medicine, biology, astrology, mathematics ...
the continent developed this way for two reasons:
The first reason is that they had a policy that everyone should act rationally and tolerantly, based on their god's ideals
racism was almost completely extinguished
all people are citizens, this was the law
all people were equal before the law, regardless of gender, sexuality and religion, including non-religious
because of this people who without these laws would never have a chance to show their talents and abilities could make their legends
and these people refer not only to humans, but all sentient beings willing to follow these rules, for example elves and hobbits, and other creatures previously considered monsters, werewolves, vampires, tieflings ...
this enabled knowledge of various races to merge and evolve
The second factor that made the rapid development of society was that the god of the underworld contributes positively
using his power to manipulate earth, he left the soil more fertile
the soil became so fertile that anyone could have their own crops since they had a place to plant, causing a decrease in hunger, and an increase in the economy as with change anyone could sell or buy vegetable products
He also left the earth rich in minerals, which was one of the main reasons his believers crossed the tribal age
and finally by transferring part of their necromancy power, citizens could summon undead to do various kinds of jobs twice as long and half as long

but nothing is eternal
something happened that made everything change
an old man with gray hair and wrinkled skin climbed on a stage, as his steps made no sound almost as if he had magic in his shoes, his shoes just like the rest of his garment is completely white except for golden details. , his main outfit is a large cassock that caused a sense of tranquility to those looking
this is the pope of the god of justice church xang
this is the pope of xangô, the god of justice
he said in his speech:
"today we will end these heretics, these devils who treat monsters, demons, and inferior races as dwarves as if they were equal, spread obsenity,we will destroy this people who will command the disgusting and evil undead, these heretics who use black magic to create their unholy paraphernalia and influence the minds of our children. noble horsemen march against the cities of darkness, we are in numerical advantage"
a holy war began
the war lasted several years, reaching even the gods themselves having to face.
the god of the underworld won, but for a high price
he needed to rest a few years to regain his full power
his soul was almost destroyed, and the very time-space was shaken because of the fighting intent
parts of his soul travel between the dimensions and arrived in a compatible body, a fetus that was destined to be a stillbirth, his soul that had just emerged has gone out like the flame of a match, a living being connected to death, the perfect receptacle
it would only take a few months for the child with unprecedented powers to grow
