[Cause just cause they exist don't mean you gotta worship them.
Anyway, she doesn't bother bringing that up. Just gets onto the more relevant, less loaded topic.]
Alright! So...
A really long time ago, worlds were full of magic and the old gods, who existed alongside humankind in harmony. [Chaotic harmony. Lot of slaughter, lot of ritualistic sacrifice, it was really awful.] Life was owed to the mother goddesses, the ones born from the planet that gave life to all things. Every other living being paid tribute to them for it, even if they favored other gods, all to thank them for the life they bestowed upon them.
But this all changed with the arrival of a new God. Nobody knows where He came from [Well, Lucifer does, but details.] but He was even more powerful than the mother goddesses combined. He used his power to subjugate the mother goddesses and seal them away within the Earth. His legions of Angels swarmed all worlds they could find and destroyed the old gods, stripping them of their power and casting them into hell, reducing them to monsters known now as 'demons'. He also forbid anyone to use magic except for Him and His legions, so that nobody could ever grow strong enough to overthrow Him. From that point on, history was forever changed, and as far as everyone is concerned it was Him who created all things, and nobody ever learned of the truth. From that day on, everyone paid tribute to Him instead for work He never did.
