| — Khaos to Azathoth. |
Khaos, also known as Chaos, the Guardian of the Abyss, Shadow of God, or Parent of the Parentless, is the Primordial Deity who embodies the Void without form and void that existed before the creation of the Multiverse. The primeval void became the Primordial Entity that rules the void and the abyss, becoming the creator of the Primordials.
They are the God/Goddess of Nothingness, Oblivion, the Void, and the Abyss. They were self-created with the purpose of being the bridge between the Heavens and the Earth and between the celestials and humanity, thus partly reduced the amount of paperwork the angels required to do.
They are the Primal God venerated by the ancient Greco-Romans and the possible destroyer of the Megaverse. As such they are one of the most ancient beings and have existed before time itself, they are considered to be one of the strongest existences, whose powers surpass almost all other beings. They are one of the original members of the Three Great Titans of Creation.
In the Myths, Khaos is the primordial source of all things, being also the state in which the entire Universe was in its primeval state. Khaos is the world in its unfinished state. Khaos precedes Order (Cosmos), being the primordial "void" from which everything came, and to which everything will inevitably return, only to start again in a new cycle.
Khaos is also the ancestor of all gods worshiped of paganism and polytheism, that is, the worship and claiming of gods other than Yesh. Khaos is paganism, heresy and pagan idolatry personified, the source of all witchcraft and heresy.
Overview
Khaos is one of the first Pre-existential Entities to come into being, being even older than God Himself and His wife Barbelo. Not much is known about the origins of Khaos, but it is believed that at the beginning when the universe was in its primal state plunged inside a primordial soup of antimatter, was when Khaos appeared.
At the beginning the world was in its most primitive and chaotic state, with temperatures comparable to Absolute Heat, which was then cooled by the chaotic waters of Zero Absolute, that is, Khaos, which thus allowed the emergence of The Darkness, the last to precede God. Ayin, Khaos and The Darkness, the three main manifestations of Overvoid, and the eternal arch-rivals of God.
When the Lord wanted to start Creation, the Guardian of the Abyss, living up to his title, did not want to allow the Resplendent Yesh to create the universe, going to war with the Almighty. In the War, Khaos created the Primordials, better known as Protogenoi, primitive anthropomorphic personifications of concepts and ideas that did not yet exist and were in their most basic and simple state, such as Dʰéǵʰōm (Earth), Dyēus (Sky), Tartarus (Underworld), Nyx (Night), Erebus (Darkness), Amor (Love), and Chronos (Time).
After the War ended, Khaos entered a state of deep hibernation, having remained unconscious for billions of years, even before the First Day of Creation. When the Lord then created the light, the stars and everything in the cosmos, the primal void was filled by billions of bubbles, filling Khaos' body, which consequently caused Khaos to become the gap between dimensions such as Heaven and Hell, also being the "dark void" behind the stars. The multiverse could be said to exist within the primordial void body that is Khaos.
In religions, primordial chaos is normally the building block that the being of order uses to create the universe, with the body of primitive chaos being the foundation of the cosmos. In fact, God, the ruler of Order, uses primitive chaos to give rise to creation, bringing the non-thing into existence, and order from disorder. However, this does not exactly place chaos as a co-creator, it can be said that chaos is like a blank canvas that God, the author, uses to design and write His creation.
However, although Khaos is mainly interpreted as the mythological figure Chaos referred to by the Greeks, this Khaos should not be understood as specifically the Greek Chaos, as this is one of the many interpretations that humanity has had of this silent and chaotic Pre-existential being. Khaos is more than the primordial waters of Babylon, and more than a devourer of worlds or a yawning void, Khaos is the gap that exists where there is no order, being almost omnipresent in all places where law, justice, and order does not prevail. Khaos is discord, and their weakness is harmony. Among the Abrahamic Pantheon, Khaos is known by another name, Tehom, the True Shadow of Yesh.
Appearance
Khaos does not have an actual true form. They commonly appear in the form of a vast darkness made of dark matter and dark, infinite energy that expands infinitely, showing that Khaos can make even infinity itself finite for them. Although they have no true form, they usually take the form of an androgynous, naked, hairless entity made of purple darkness mixed with Vantablack, a color so dark that it absorbs 99,965% of light.
Khaos' true form can best be described as a transcendent void that exists outside the confines of the universe, with the entire Megaverse existing within their noiseless, chaotic body, something that wasn't so frightening to ancient peoples who believed the world to be the remains of a chaotic entity that was defeated by a ruler of order. From Khaos' point of view, all the infinite worlds created by Yesh like planets, stars, universes, realms and multiverses are just bacteria to them, with the Multiverses being the same as soap bubbles that exist inside their body. When manifested through avatars, Khaos describes it as entering within themself, with Zeus comparing it to Khaos' manifestation within the universe as an author inserting themself into fiction.
However, Khaos has taken human forms when it desires to visit Earth, a Skyland, an Underworld, an alternate realm, or just anywhere there are people as they doesn't want them to get erased from existence.
Personality
Due to their age and extreme power, Khaos is extremely separate and impartial from the rest of Creation. Khaos is incredibly apathetic and emotionless. They view creation events such as the War in Heaven, the Titanomachy, the Apocalypse, and Ragnarök as insignificant. Khaos seems to view life forms in Creation as unimportant, even comparing Zeus to bacteria, showing that Khaos views life in Creation as humans view the bacteria in their bodies.
As a Pre-existential Primordial Entity, Khaos doesn't care about the situation that happens in the multiverse and megaverse, as the megaverse itself is just a worm from their perspective. Khaos is an indifferent and cold god to their worshippers, not caring one bit about their existence. Khaos spends most of their time "sleeping", returning themself to their primordial state of absolute unconsciousness, where they are just a fickle, wavering force in the universe. Khaos is an impersonal, unknowable, unconscious force rather than a literal deity. Trying to understand Khaos is, as stated by Tartarus, like trying to talk to a giant black hole.
Khaos doesn't care about the lives of other beings. They seem unfazed and indifferent towards the death of other beings, including their children and descendants. Death itself simply sees it as something that only happens in Creation, being as natural as gravity, you don't question it, you just accept that it's there. Khaos and God share a buddy relationship, though this is likely because Khaos is also a God of Creation, though they are also a God of Destruction. Being also a creator god, Khaos is obviously on the list of beings that Therion wants to devour, probably this is the real reason for them to ally themself with God, since God planned to defeat Therion and that would free God, Barbelo, Life and Khaos from being predated by Therion, their natural predator.
Of all the other pre-existentials, they are the most comfortable with God and Ouroboros, he has had a very neutral relationship with God since the creation of the Universe. They also act as the guardian of Ouroboros. Despite this, it should not be confused that Khaos possesses some love for Ouroboros, as in the end, it will be Khaos themself who must again bring all creation back to its state of initial and boundless nonexistence, including Ouroboros itself. On the other hand, they harbor a strong, nasty disdain and hatred for Azathoth and the outside gods for causing him trouble in the past, where he once threatened Azathoth that he would never be destroyed by people like him.
Khaos is a normally amoral, neutral and impersonal entity, not caring about the countless wars that took place inside their body like the War in Heaven, which was an overwhelming event, or the Titanomachy or the battle between Ymir and Odin at the beginning of time. Khaos is an entity that cares little for the universe created by God or anything that exists in the universe, with few emotions being able to express, which are often perceived as a yawning void, as Khaos' emotions are as abstract as themself. However, when manifested with an avatar, be it an Image Avatar or an Avatar Being, Khaos is capable of showing some emotions or even feelings, even if minimally, as anthropomorphism requires them to have some sort of personality.
Powers and Abilities

Khaos is one of the most powerful divinities that ever lived. Their power is equal to that of God, with Khaos being His shadow, the chaotic shadow of God. In contrast to Yesh, Khaos embodies the concepts of Nothingness, Entropy, Nonexistence, and Darkness, as well as Chaos, Emptiness, and Eternity. As a Pre-Existential Primordial Entity, Khaos is the creator of the Pagan Gods, the ancient gods worshiped by mankind throughout the multiverse. Due to their position as one of the embodiments of the primordial Void, they are one of the most powerful entities in the Megaverse and beyond, with unlimited levels of power far greater than those of any deity in existence, including any of their spawn.
In the Primeval Wars, Khaos managed to battle Azathoth and God, in the end revealing themself to be an ally of Yesh, with the two together fighting side by side to imprison Azathoth. Khaos is a kind of rival of Yesh, alongside Azathoth. With all this power, Khaos is so dangerous that the Protogenoi and other Primordials would have to take immediate action if Khaos is enraged or bored.
- The Primordial Chaos: Chaos is the primordial state of all existence and all Creation. It is the base that serves as the foundation for the cosmos. Before there was light itself and darkness itself, there was Chaos, which was without form and void. Khaos is the source and end of everything, because in the beginning there was nothing except chaos, but then came light, darkness, matter, cosmos, creation, the world, animals and humans. But in the end, humanity will become extinct, the Earth will disappear swallowed by the sun, and the sun itself will die and become a black dwarf-star, and this will happen to every star in the universe, until one day, even the last black hole will cease to exist due to the Hawking radiation, and there will be nothing left except Khaos. Some theories say that this has actually already happened, and will happen again and again, resulting in a second, third, or fourth Big Bang.
- The Anti-God: An Anti-God is nothing less than the opposite of everything God is. The Anti-God is the very primordial void from which everything came and where everything will return. While God is the creator, represented by the cosmos, existence, order and light, the Anti-God is the destroyer, represented by chaos, nonexistence, disorder and darkness. Contrary to popular belief, there may be more than one anti-God, of course, there is the first and the original, but there are variants that are other embodiments of the void that exists as the opposite of God. Khaos is one of the three main facets of the boundless void that existed (or did not exist) before the multiverse and megaverse.
- The Shadow of God: The Shadow of God or God's Shadow is a title that several entities have, such as Yaldabaoth, Azathoth, Metatron and even Lucifer have been called that, but none of them is the original and the true shadow of God, Khaos, who exists before God Himself and before the the very darkness that was before the light of God. When light illuminates something, it leaves a shadow wherever it touches, and in the beginning, there was only Khaos, but when God came and illuminated the empty void with His light, Khaos became His shadow. God is light, Khaos is darkness; God is the end, Khaos is without end; God is creator, Khaos is decreator; God is order, Khaos is disorder.
- Chaoskampf: Chaoskampf is the name for the dualistic war between a hero of order and a villain of chaos. This concept has existed since antiquity, even before time-space itself, when the enlightened Yesh with His Sword of Extinction battled against the primordial God of disorder, Khaos. Khaos is the antagonist of the Chaoskampf, they are the primal god of the abyss and nothingness who at the end of time will swallow every universe and multiverse to return everything to nothingness and chaos. When this happens, once again the illuminating Yesh will have to fight against the God of the Abyss Khaos. The battle is said to result in either the annihilation of the multiverse or the balancing of the forces of order and chaos.
- Khaos' Shards: The shards of Khaos are the avatars of the God of the Abyss who exist as puppets or servants of the Deity of Nothingness. Three of them stand out; Pralaya, Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Ginnungagap. Two of them were created directly by Khaos from their fragments ripped from his body by God in the Creation Wars, while Amatsu-Mikaboshi was born to Izanami, the descendant of Amenominakanushi, child of Khaos, and later turned into an avatar of Khaos. The first refers to the unconsciousness of God, the shadow of the goddess Barbelo in the Hindu pantheon, the sleep of Brahma, Pralaya; Amatsu-Mikaboshi is the god of chaos and darkness, he is the evil alter ego of the goddess Izanami; Ginnungagap is the primordial void of absolute nothingness that existed before Yggdrasil who, through primordial elemental forces, created other gods like Ymir and Surtr.
- Ginnungagap: Ginnungagap is the primeval god of the abyss and nothingness in the Norse pantheon. He is the sleeping, yawning void that encompasses the entire Norse realm and even the Tree of Life. It is said in one version of the legends surrounding Ragnarök, Ginnungagap will return to battle Fimbultyr which will result in the complete destruction of the World Tree and the Nine Realms. Ginnungagap is perceived as a gigantic, borderless and boundlessness yawning Black Hole that destroys everything that exists, in short, Ginnungagap is the Void of Nonexistence in the Norse pantheon, the beginning and the end of everything.
- Pralaya: The sleep of Brahma, Pralaya, she is the Goddess who exists as the shadow of Barbelo, the first Mother-Goddess of the Multiverse, she is the unconsciousness of God Himself, not the Abrahamic God, but the Brahma God, an extension of Parabrahman, who it is an emanation from Yesh. She is the primordial void that exists as the Brahman God before his self-realization.
- Amatsu-Mikaboshi: Amatsu-Mikaboshi is Izanami's Self-Shadow, all the negative and evil aspects she has rejected from herself and has become a sapient and corrupt deity whose goal is to destroy everything that exists in the universe. Amatsu-Mikaboshi was found wandering through Khaos, who found him interesting and decided to give their descendant a new role, making him their avatar.
- Tohu-Wa-Bohu (from Hebrew; תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ ṯōhū wā-ḇōhū): Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 to 2, in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was without form and void. Verily, not only the Earth, but the entire uncreated universe was without form and void, shapeless, colorless, and without appearance, it was just absolute emptiness without anything. Tohu-Wa-Bohu refers to the primordial state of all Creation, when the world was immersed in the primordial and chaotic waters of Khaos, like an endless ocean that prevented any kind of life from flourishing, and any kind of light from sprouting. However, the Spirit of the Creator blew into the darkest and deepest depths of the primordial pits and whispered, let there be light, and the void was broken by a titanic "OM", which gave rise to the world as we know it.
- Primordial Waters (from Hebrew; תְּהוֹם ṯəhôm): The primordial waters, also known as Chaotic Waters or Cosmic Ocean, is a concept quite ubiquitous in ancient myths, representing primal chaos. In ancient times, it was believed that the earth was a flat disk that lay in the infinite sea, with the pillars of Creation supporting the Earth so that it would not sink. When God said "let there be dry land", He would have taken the Earth out of the primordial ocean and placed pillars to prevent the Earth from sinking and returning to the chaotic waters of chaos. In the Great Flood, God would have returned the Earth back to the primal waters, returning the planet to its state of without form and void watery chaos. In short, Earth was God's aquarium, and dwelt within the endless sapient ocean, Tehom. Despite being quite far from reality, this belief had some truth. The Universe as it is known with its three geometric dimensions and one temporal dimension originally was in an unmanifested state of nonexistence in pandimensional chaos, until Yesh through His power brought existence out of nonexistence, bringing order (cosmos) out of chaos.
- The Primordial Darkness: Darkness is the perception of darkness differs from the mere absence of light due to the effects of afterimages on perception, being in philosophy it is the lack of knowledge; ignorance due to lack of study or enlightenment. Darkness is the absence of light. Khaos is capable of not only invoking and manipulating darkness, but they are able to manipulate the Primordial Darkness that existed before Creation and light, being also the very embodiment of the darkness of the abyss, also existing as an aspect of the Mother-Goddess Barbelo, the embodiment of the silence of the void.
- The Creator: Khaos was known by the Greco-Romans as the Creator and progenitor of the entire Universe and the source of all life, as well as the destroyer of all creation. This is true to a certain extent, Khaos is not exactly the creator of the cosmos, but rather the building block that God used to create the foundation of the cosmos. This ability allows Khaos to arbitrarily manipulate all aspects of the multiverse, placing worlds in a closed time loop at will, with universes existing in a loop being born and dying through Big Bangs and/or Big Crunchs. They can create or annul life at will, endow various creatures with their own powers, change or completely destroy existing realities, controlling them as they see fit. Khaos is one of the Creator Gods, that is, one of the primordial incarnations of the concept of Creation and Birth, alongside Yesh, Barbelo and Life.
- The Protogenoi: The Protogenoi are a group of primordial beings that were born directly from Khaos. The Protogenoi are the first born deities; they form the very fabric of the multiverse and, as such, are immortal. Unlike the Titans and the Dodekatheon, they are essentially sapient aspects of the universe itself and have complete and utter control over it.
- The Titans: The Titans are the descendants of the Primordial God Khaos, having been born to the Protogenoi. The Titans preceded the Dodekatheon, who, led by Zeus, eventually overthrew them in the Titanomachy. The Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus by Zeus, the deepest part of the underworld (ruled by Hades). In the end, they rebelled against Zeus and God, but they lost the battle and, as punishment, were forever imprisoned in the lower levels of the Underworld, where they remain to this day, awaiting Cronus's awakening.
- High Dimension Existence: Khaos is a superior dimensional deity, they have a multidimensional nature and are outside the laws of the material and spiritual world, being outside space-time connections; their powers are extremely limited in the normal world. Khaos encompasses-all dimensions, being a pandimesnional entity and at the same time transcending them all.
- Boundless State: The Boundless state is a state of being that omnipotent deities obtain by reaching the limits beyond the limits of Absolute Zero, reaching a level of power that equals Infinity^Infinity. Khaos is an Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God, being all-powerful over themself (autopotence) and being able to create anything from nothingness (omnificience), that is, from themself. In this state of being, Khaos is beyond any kind of conception or power, including the very concept of dimensions, physics, dualism, non-dualism, time, space life, death, existence, and nonexistence itself. They exist boundlessly above Platonic concepts and ideas, being the Absolute Infinity itself personified.
- Megaversal Omnipotence: Megaversal Omnipotence is the power of Khaos to be all-powerful and absolute, infinitely and incomprehensibly external and transcendent to an entire megaverse, which is the set of all galaxies, universes, realms, dimensions, worlds & multiverses, existing or non-existent. There are no limits or restrictions to what Khaos can do with regard to a megaverse since even the infinite multiverses from their point of view are just infinitesimal atoms, with the megaverse itself being a particle or even a simple bubble boundlessly small compared to the almighty and omnipresent Khaos. The Parent of the Parentless is simply one of the most powerful entities in all of existence itself, being rivaled only by beings of their own species, that is, the resplendent Yesh, the silent Barbelo, the obscure The Darkness, or the chaotic Azathoth. Whereas the First or Second-generation Primordials have multiversal-scale omnipotence, Khaos has megaversal-scale omnipotence, and given that multiverses can have anywhere from 2 to several novemdecillions of universes, with a megaverse having at least 10 quadrillion multiverses, Khaos is a true monster among the monsters of monsters in the sense of power. It doesn't matter who or what faces Khaos. It doesn't matter if it's a Human, a Demon, an Angel, a God or a Primordial, none of them have the power to defeat Khaos, regardless of whether they multiply their powers by hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, sextillions or undecillions of times, the result is always the same. No matter what number is added, it will always disappear into the sea that is infinity.
- Unlimited Strength: Physical strength is a non-applicable concept to Khaos, since they exist before the very concept of height, width or depth, and are beyond the very concept of force or mass. However, as Khaos is all-powerful, they can give themself the ability to deliver physical attacks without the need for an avatar. It is said that a punch from Khaos is powerful enough to split the multiverse itself and its innumerable universes in half. The weight of Khaos' hand would be equivalent to an entire universe, which would result in taking a punch from them would be the same as taking an entire universe in your face. In terms of measuring strength, it is not possible to calculate the strength of a Primordial Deity with joules, only with what they themselves can destroy, that is, Khaos has a destructive power of megaversal scale, being able to crush the megaverse itself with physical attacks, although Erebus believed they would take some time to do so. In fact, Tartarus and Nyx argue that Khaos would only need 5 or 6 attacks to destroy the entire megaverse with its unlimited multiverses and timelines.
- Boundless Manipulation and Trancendent Autopotence: Khaos is beyond everything in a sense of unimaginable comprehensive dominion of all-powerful concepts, ideas, primordial origin of pure endless power, and archetypes, being the father or mother of pure random creation, causality, and evolution, even Azathoth and God sprouted after his being. As the first pre-existential of existence, Khaos is able to wield absolute creation and destruction and purpose to their most immeasurable potential to the point the power of pre-determined destiny and fate is a childish tool to further define Khaos's scale of capability. They are capable of manipulating (and creating/destroying) any power from any source, any reality, idea, effect, cause, nature, paradox, natural and supernatural forces, existence, unimaginable existences, self aware state, overseeing the stories of fiction or reality, manipulation of all plots of all life and death, being the primordial gods source of divinity, being perfect absolute chaotic divinity itself, having absolute dominion of all their limitless power, and being an absolute force of nothingness and allness.
- I Am Not: If God is what He is, being the primordial "I Am", Khaos being an anti-God, a co-facet of Ayin and The Darkness, Khaos also embodies the "I Am Not". To simplify, God is the creator of souls, and is responsible for the sense of self-identification, that is, for you to recognize that you exist, while Khaos is responsible for you to recognize that you do not exist, to understand your own nonexistence. Initially, the idea of yourself not existing seems absurd because "I think therefore I am", but even if you exist, it doesn't change the fact that you could still be the fruit of someone's dream, and when that someone wakes up, you will cease to exist. In fact, we all inhabit the imagination of God, with the Universe itself being a distraction in the Creator's mind, and when the Creator returns to absolute nothingness, there will be no existence, but only nonexistence, and you, who now are, you won't be anymore, you will now be part of nonexistence, i.e., Khaos.
- 1%: Pre-Existential Entities are not able to use more than 1% of their power in the Multiverse and Megaverse, not because Creation limits them (that too), but because if they use more than 1% of their real power, Creation can simply collapse. To keep Pre-Existentials from causing trouble, God forbade any Pre-existential Entity to use more than 1% of their power. The Darkness, Ouroboros and Vitriol, being the weakest Pre-Existentials Entities, are able to use more than 1% without causing severe damage in the Megaverse, but the latter two still followed God's order to avoid conflict. The Darkness when she escaped could use 10% of her power and that was almost collapsing the multiverse, and that's why God had to interfere, even if it was a little unfair because He could only use a maximum of 1% of his real power.
History
Beginning
In the beginning, there was nothing, nothing but the endless pale opaque Void of Absolute Zero, when suddenly, that void was warmed up and superheated by an ultra-hot material called Antimatter. Eons later, this primal period of the universe was cooled by the chaotic waters of Khaos, which then allowed The Darkness to arise. However, the uncreated Universe got tired of being nothing, so the Universe spoke the Word, and the Word was God, the opposite of Ayin, Khaos and The Darkness, representing matter, being and creation.
After Azathoth and other Pre-existential Gods were born, God wanted to show his fellows that they didn't need to be alone in that infinite void and started to create innumerable multiverses. However, when the gods of void and chaos noticed an indescribable amount of "bubbles" inside their bodies, they immediately destroyed them. This forced God to take drastic action and war against his companions to allow a new power to come into existence, Creation. To fight God and his Arcuthas, Khaos created their Primordials, the Protogenoi.
After countless battles, God imprisoned the remains of Khaos and Azathoth in the Outerverse. The realm itself was then hidden in an unknown location that "goes beyond the boundaries of the physical universe". Possibly meaning that it exists in a realm where Dimensionality, Existence, and Nonexistence itself are Nonexistent. However, as two extremely powerful entities in a single realm, the Outerverse couldn't keep them there forever and so they escaped with the help of the Outer Gods and the Primordials when they weren't fighting each other. With their awakening, God feared that it could be the end of Creation.
The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
However, Khaos using their omniscience learned that there was a much greater power that had been awakening in the Void beyond all Voids because of the war between God and Azathoth, and this creature surpassed both Khaos and God in power. Further strengthening their hatred of Azathoth was his son, Nyarlathotep, angering the void for seemingly unknown reasons before being swat down like a fly. The Guardian of the Abyss then made an alliance with God stating that the two had to unite for the greater good, something they tried to tell Azathoth who did not care about the awakening of the Great Primordial Beast, forcing God and Khaos to join forces and seal Azathoth away from ruining their plans, imprisoning Azathoth in the Outerverse with the Outer Gods.
Finally, Khaos and God teamed up as friends temporarily and together they wandered through the shadow of the Overvoid's void until they encountered such a megaversal threat, which was the primordial beast Therion, the natural predator of the Creator Gods. Due to Therion being its natural predator, obviously God and Khaos were much weaker than Therion and needed to call Barbelo and Life to help them in battle.
Still, even in a four-on-one battle, Therion seemed unstoppable, which forced God and Khaos to make one last attempt to accept their differences as rivals. Khaos then sacrificed themself to help God, merging with the Almighty, bringing forth for the first time the Hyper God Choshek, who managed to defeat Therion and explode his body into thousands of fragments. After the battle was over, Choshek fell apart and God and Khaos separated, ending their fusion.
Farewell to the Eternal Rivals
With the battle over, Yesh thanked Khaos for their help, with Khaos stating that they only helped God for protect themself and that God should not take this as a show of love, although Khaos admitted that they saw Yesh as a good rival. The two shake hands, and bid each other farewell, with God saying that he hopes to meet them again, and that Khaos returns as a good person. Afterwards, Khaos entered a state of hibernation, remaining unconscious and asleep for billions of years.
Khaos was the building block that God used to start the universe, with the remains of their primordial body still being seen among the stars, in the gaps left by the absence of God's light. In the future, humanity will die, the planet will be swallowed up by its star, which will wither and die, becoming a black dwarf star, and the same will happen with each star, giving an end to the great galaxies. After the last of the Black Holes is disintegrated by hawking radiation, there will be nothing left in the universe, nothing but Khaos.
Myths and Legends
In ancient myths it was common for people to believe that before the universe existed there was only chaos, usually portrayed as an unlimited ocean, due to the fact that it seemed that the earth as we know it to the ancients was like a large island that floated on the infinite sea, with the earth having been taken out of the midst of the waters by a God as described in the book of Genesis.
Chaos also refers to the gap between heaven and earth, that is, the atmospheric sky was interpreted as being chaos itself, as the ancients believed that the sky was blue because it was covered by water, with a type of celestial dome or heavenly firm protecting the water from invading the Earth. In the book of Genesis, in the Bible, the Earth is again returned to its state of chaos in the flood.
Finally, the most well-known personification of Khaos in myths is the Chaos of Greco-Roman myths, who is sometimes interpreted as a primordial God, sometimes as a place where the first gods came to self-generate, with some interpretations dismissing the existence of Khaos, placing the goddess Nyx as the creator of everything.
Quotes
| “ | Since ancient times, there was always a logic behind all beliefs involving the origin of the world, which was chaos. Chaos is the primitive state of the universe, the state that precedes order (cosmos), being the primordial void that precedes creation. However, this thinking changed with the rise of Monotheism, which believes that the universe was not created out of chaos, but was created out of nothingness and non-thing by God. | „ |

| “ | To be fair, none of us really understand what our father was thinking. But at least in our defense, ours is literally the void that exists before creation, so unless you fancy talking to yourself before a giant blackhole, be my guest. | „ |

| “ | Before the first day... In the beginning it was chaos that lay alone in the void. The chaos was volatile and it turned inside out and began to dance frantically - now imploding now exploding. The darkness was crumbling, the shapes were almost being shaped by accident, but since no one was there, it was all an improbable dream. A pale light thus dawned – a reflection analogous to the clumsiness of the absence of total darkness. Primitive elements were confused into an infinite chain of infinite molecules that did not exist. In nothingness, nothing existed but the anatomy of nothingness. Nothing grew. Nothing was goaded. Hundreds of hidden stars, a thousand and one new constellations. A cosmic and incipient question mark. Meaningless shapes, discolored colors. Silent whispers of a non-existent universe. Diaphanous corruptible lights. Delusions lingering asleep. On that day there was no day. | „ |

| “ | Before there was earth or sea or the sky that covers everything, Nature appeared the same throughout the whole world: what we call chaos: a raw confused mass, nothing but inert matter, badly combined discordant atoms of things, confused in the one place. There was no Titan yet, shining his light on the world, or waxing Phoebe renewing her white horns, or the earth hovering in surrounding air balanced by her own weight, or watery Amphitrite stretching out her arms along the vast shores of the world. Though there was land and sea and air, it was unstable land, unswimmable water, air needing light. Nothing retained its shape, one thing obstructed another, because in the one body, cold fought with heat, moist with dry, soft with hard, and weight with weightless things. | „ |
| — Ovid, Metamorphoses, 1st Century BCE (Translated by A. S. Kline). |
| “ | At the beginning there was only Chaos, Night, dark Erebus, and deep Tartarus. Earth, the air and heaven had no existence. Firstly, blackwinged Night laid a germless egg in the bosom of the infinite deeps of Erebus, and from this, after the revolution of long ages, sprang the graceful Amor with his glittering golden wings, swift as the whirlwinds of the tempest. He mated in deep Tartarus with dark Chaos, winged like himself, and thus hatched forth our race, which was the first to see the light. That of the Immortals did not exist until Amor had brought together all the ingredients of the world, and from their marriage Heaven, Ocean, Earth, and the imperishable race of blessed gods sprang into being.
