Pieces of God	comment	Is there a God? What happens after we die? Why does energy fuel everything? Is there such a thing as a soul, and how does it fit into things? Real Life poses these and other heavy, unanswerable questions, and philosophy sets out to answer them. One trope that attempts to answer all four questions is the idea that everyone and everything has a soul, and each is a piece of God. God Is Dead (but not dead enough), or consciousness/physics is just God attempting to reform Itself into one coherent mass again. Which raises the question, why is God in pieces? The answer might never be revealed. If it is, it usually has to do with God wanting to imbue a piece of Itself (in these stories, God is unlikely to be described with a gender) in creation. God sacrifices Its Omnipotence to imbue a divine energy that allows for intelligence in all beings. By sacrificing Its individual self, God becomes a Prometheus bringing life to all. Another possibility is that God wants to use a cycle of Reincarnation and afterlives to "level up" by gaining the accumulated wisdom of humanity, and in the process make the soul-fragments wiser and kinder. Finally, it may be that God effectively became so bored of being all-knowing and all-powerful that It committed a Seen-It-All Suicide (in which case, assembling God anew may or may not be a good idea). Of course, God might not have intended this at all. If there is a God of Evil, it may have "slain" God while weak after making creation, and/or imprisoned It in Plot Coupons and Cosmic Keystones. Reuniting these fragments may unleash the Sealed Good in a Can and fix any flaws Inherent in the System. But if God Is Evil, it may cause very bad things to happen. This cosmic set up can get very morally gray if God intends Universal Reconciliation with all of Itself, ending all individuality. The protagonists won't know if it will cause everyone to turn into a Hive Mind, or end all individual weaknesses and suffering. Not to be confused with Divided Deity, where a god is split into a small number of pieces that are each still a god. In Real Life theology, this system of belief is referred to as Pantheism or Pandeism. Here be spoilers.

They were all born from the now-dead mother goddess Ishtar, and by consuming their souls and a Red Pill, sacrificing her body, mind and soul, she hopes to revive and summon Ishtar to grant new fertility to Tokyo. She succeeds, and the resurrected Ishtar even implies there's still a piece of Minako within.

Pieces of God / int_14a837ea	comment	In Awful Hospital, long before anything else even existed, there was only one living being, the Old Flesh. Without warning, it suddenly became very ill, and its body slowly began to break down into reality as we know it. Outraged and helpless, it died. But the largest and most intact surviving fragments of what was once its body, the Parliament, developed sapience. Feeling broken, they now scheme an Assimilation Plot to destroy the multiverse and reassemble it into the original being. What the Parliament doesn't remember is the fact that the first thing was the Anthropomorphic Personification of Death, existing only to die and become the fertilizer that gives birth to new things. Even if the Parliament to succeed in their plot, it would just die all over again, essentially resetting the multiverse into a new form.

Pieces of God / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: In the Thousand Year Blood War arc we have Yhwach, who is the Big Bad, and the progenitor of all Quincies. The reason all other Quincies exist is because he shared pieces of his soul with them. These soul fragments become their Quincy powers. And this soul fragment is technically now a part of the Quincy, so any offspring inherit the Quincy power as well. Yhwach is associated by many Quincies with the Christian God, partly because of this. However, when a Quincy actually dies, they lose that piece of soul, which goes back to Yhwach. Also, if Yhwach feels the need to, he can forcibly remove his soul fragment, with the side effect of killing the Quincy. He has caused at least two massacres by removing Quincy powers en masse. The same thing happens with the Soul King as it's revealed. Multiple characters - from Ukitake to Matsumoto to even several antagonists - are or contain within themselves pieces of the Soul King. Mimihagi and Pernida are the right and left arms of the Soul King (governing over stagnation and evolution, respectively), while Gerard Valkyrie is the Soul King's heart. The novels, for their part, imply that Gremmy Thoumeaux is the Soul King's brain.

The One God broke into hundreds of lesser gods, rendering the elves extinct and peppering the world with Black Magic and the occasional Eldritch Location. It's heavily implied that the Breaking of God was actually a nuclear war, the elves were modern humans whose primitive descendants mistook for magical beings because of the wonders of their ruins, and the black magic is actually nuclear fallout.

Pieces of God / int_2e1a541c	comment	In Lusternia, this is how most of the many mortal races were created. The Elder Gods faced a Hopeless War against The Soulless Ones, and some chose to fragment their consciousness, creating "children" which retained qualities of their parent god. (Some Gods chose to flee into the Void rather than suffer this, however.) Though mortals can ascend to become Demigods themselves, it's made clear that their progenitors are for all intents and purposes dead, and can never be remade by reuniting their fragments. On the other hand, since mortals can reproduce endlessly, and can all (potentially) become Demigods, they're collectively stronger than their "progenitor" God could be.

She passed the stolen power to her children, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, who then shared it with humanity. Kaguya became greedy and merged with the God-Tree to take back the stolen chakra, becoming a mindless beast called the Juubi. The Sage of Six Paths along with his brother subjugated it, sealing its chakra into his own body and creating the moon to act as a tomb for its body. The Sage later split the Juubi's chakra and used it to create the nine Bijuu while the Sage's brother took their clan to guard the moon. Madara's end game relies on collecting the bijuu, restoring the Juubi, and using its power to his own ends.

Pieces of God / int_3adaad9b	comment	In one The Defenders story, Eternity, a Cosmic Entity who embodies the universe, decided to send pieces of itself to Earth, in human forms and with no memories, to "experience" humanity. Later he returned their memories and most of them re-merged with him, thus giving him humanity by proxy. However, three of the pieces were missing, and he had the Defenders find out who had stolen them. The heroes find out that nobody had stolen them — they were hiding because they loved being human too much and didn't want to merge with Eternity again. However, the Defender Nighthawk called them on how selfish they were being, since an incomplete Eternity would cause chaos on Earth eventually, meaning they hadn't really learned to care after all. Realizing their error, the fragments then rejoined Eternity.

And if the Church ever succeeded in reuniting all the pieces of their "God"... Well, you'd have to be on the Moon to avoid the resulting apocalypse, and even that might not be far enough. As Characterization Marches On, however, it seems that the Foundation might have judged the CotBG too quickly — while still seen as fanatical extremists, later discoveries are raising the possibility that the these particular extremists might not be so crazy after all. The apocalypse the prophecies refer to might not be caused by the reassembly of the god machine... and the flesh they believe must be destroyed may be something far worse than human vice and frailty.

A third piece was destroyed in the final book of the original light novel series as well. The God equivalent Ceifeed is allegedly gone for good, but fragments of him occasionally are born in others, branding them his knights, including Lina's sister Luna. How this works is unknown. Of one lesser god, Ragradia, two fragments survived: one looks like a little female Yoda, and the other resides in an immortal human being known as the Eternal Queen of Zephilia. Additionally, the very fabric of each universe in their multiverse is a part of the body of the story's ultimate God, the Lord of Nightmares. Why she gave up her body to make this is unknown, but giving her body back by destroying the "axis" holding the universes is the ultimate goal of all demons.

The crystalline shardminds of 4th edition are a variant of this. While it's not clear that the Living Gate from whose destruction during the cataclysmic Dawn War they sprung was necessarily a god, it did have the important cosmic function of keeping the eldritch abominations of the Far Realm out of the known multiverse. The shardminds themselves are still dedicated to the Living Gate's original purpose and trying to rebuild it, but don't all agree on how to best go about that, which leads to conflict (especially with the Shard Slayer faction, whose favored method is killing as many shardminds as possible to release their animating life forces in hopes that they'll return to the Gate's original location). They're a player character race. In 5th Edition, the dragon god Sardior was broken into countless fragments during the struggle between the draconic and humanoid gods. His pieces were scattered across the cosmos when the First World shattered into the worlds of the Material Plane, and became the first gem dragons. The gem dragons are thus considered to be the surviving form of Sardior's consciousness, and some of their number believe that they should try to bring Sardior together into a single whole again. Forgotten Realms: At the height of the sarrukh empires, the World Serpent fragmented into a host of reptilian deities in order to better address the myriad, contradictory demands of its worshipers. It is believed that the dragon god Io, the naga goddess Shekinester, and the couatl god Jazirian each represent the theme of the multiplicity of being, of which the World Serpent was the archetype. Other known aspects include the lizardfolk gods Essylliss and Semuanya, M'daess, whose task was to purify the souls of unclean sacrifices and make them equivalent to sarrukh, the yuan-ti gods Merrshaulk and Sss'thasine'ss, and Ssharstrune, the naga god who embodied the principles of curiosity, destruction, and possessiveness that had precipitated the World Serpent's fragmentation. Additionally, the demiplane in which the World Serpent Inn is located is similarly believed to be a somnolent deity and fragment of the World Serpent whose dreams manifest in the form of intermittent portals to worlds to which its consciousness is drifting, but the truth of such conjecture is unknown.

So, why was he split, and why is he trying to get himself back together? Turns out, he and the Elder Gods were the only creatures to exist before the beginning of the multiverse, and the Elder Gods were getting tired of the One Being feasting on their energies. Splitting him up, transforming his consciousness/body into the multiple realms, and assigning a protector god for each is all to ensure he can't harm them anymore.

Pieces of God / int_6c013d08	comment	The World of Darkness: Mage: The Ascension: This is part of the Backstory. All human beings have a tiny spark of the divine in them (called the Avatar). Those who are Awakened are called Mages and can use it to manipulate reality. Fascinating in that a Soul is not in itself divine. Mages can make souls, but these lack the divine aspect even the lowliest Muggle's soul carries. Of course, all this means is they can never Awaken and become Mages. Except when they do. It is explicitly stated in the Technocracy books that Human Constructs (essentially clones or organic Ridiculously Human Robots) can become Awakened. That same spark of the divine makes humans valuable to demons — humans have Faith, which demons need to fuel their powers. Faith can be shared or taken, the demon's choice. The Karma Meter would prefer they have it shared. Mage: The Awakening has it that many mages believe that souls are fragments of the Supernal World that descended to the Material World and that return to the Supernal upon death, bringing their experiences back with them. Speculated reasons for this include the universe trying to understand itself, a punishment levied by mad or cruel gods, or a kind of self-imposed challenge. In terms of this model, the Awakening is merely the soul recalling its divine origin. The status of this cycle following the Fall is a subject of concern for some mages. Mummy: The Curse used this too. Osiris has been scattered around the world, and there's a bunch of Amenti trying to put him back together. Vampire: The Masquerade: Two of the Antediluvians (the grandchilder of Caine, extremely powerful and ancient vampires with almost godlike powers) are said to be "split" and living in their Clans' members: Haqim, also called Assam, who lives in the blood of Assamites, and Malkav, who lives in the mind of Malkavians. This is mostly a Malkavian theory, and Malkavians are crazy, so this may or may not be actually true.

Unable to come to an agreement, the two cosmic factions fought until the All Creator was caught in the crossfire, its pieces creating the multiverse. Collecting what was left of itself after the birth of the multiverse, the All Creator fled to the planet Spectra, its incomplete self becoming the planet's core. Eons later, the Commander used Spectra's planetary core to create the Summoners, universe-destroying cosmic weapons with God flowing through their veins.

First of all, Deus, the 'God' in this game is really just a huge Biological Weapon that created Humans as parts to repair his body and basically manipulates them to live then die just so they can be pieces of him, all while under the guise in legends and religious texts to literally be God. The second incarnation is far, far lighter as it turns out that the real God, a higher being known only as "the Wave Existence", has been trapped within physical constructs. Unlike Deus, allowing this thing to get back together isn't bad at all - as all it wants to do is go home and leave humanity to its own devices.

Anu and Padomay are the anthropomorphized primordial forces of "stasis/order/light" and "change/chaos/darkness", respectively. Their interplay in the great "void" of pre-creation led to creation itself. Creation, sometimes anthropomorphized as the female entity "Nir", favored Anu, which angered Padomay. Padomay killed Nir and shattered the twelve worlds she gave birth to. Anu then wounded Padomay, presuming him dead. Anu salvaged the pieces of the twelve worlds to create one world: Nirn. Padomay returned and wounded Anu, seeking to destroy Nirn. Anu then pulled Padomay and himself outside of time, ending Padomay's threat to creation "forever". From the intermingling of their spilled blood came the "et'Ada", or "original spirits", who would go on to become either the Aedra or the Daedra depending on their actions during the creation of Mundus, the mortal plane. (Some myths state that the Aedra come from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay, while the Daedra come purely from the blood of Padomay). A highly plausible fan theory (with supporting evidence in the series' lore) for Skyrim is that the souls of all dragons, Alduin and the Dragonborn included, are fragments of the soul of Akatosh, the Aedric God of time whose typical form in mythology is a dragon. When the Dragonborn (or any other dragon) absorbs the soul of another, it's actually fragments of the Akatosh over-soul recombining.

In season two, Emperor Charles reveals that his ultimate goal is to kill God, essentially merging all of humanity's minds and souls into one eternal being, which would allow him to never have to deal with losing a loved one. However, Lelouch objects to his haughty ideals, believing that if such a thing were to occur, humanity would lose its individuality and sense of self, instead using his Geass to make God resist Charles' attempt to slay it, and it in turn destroys Charles and Marianne for their hubris.

However, the Triclops who underwent the Humanization Ritual went to Earth and mated with the local humanoid primates, giving birth to humans and passing down the Great Light to them. As a result, he felt that the light has been tainted by the human flaws and corruption and now wants to go back at being one single will and roam the cosmos. To this end, Kaiyanwang intend to harvest the Light from the humans, using the Spell of Destruction (which turns them into grotesque, inanimated but technically still living husks) to take back the light and later merge with it, causing The End of the World as We Know It. Unusually a few of the good guys genuinely ask themselves if this is really a bad thing.

Pieces of God / int_ac8b90f5	comment	Mage: The Ascension: This is part of the Backstory. All human beings have a tiny spark of the divine in them (called the Avatar). Those who are Awakened are called Mages and can use it to manipulate reality. Fascinating in that a Soul is not in itself divine. Mages can make souls, but these lack the divine aspect even the lowliest Muggle's soul carries. Of course, all this means is they can never Awaken and become Mages. Except when they do. It is explicitly stated in the Technocracy books that Human Constructs (essentially clones or organic Ridiculously Human Robots) can become Awakened. That same spark of the divine makes humans valuable to demons — humans have Faith, which demons need to fuel their powers. Faith can be shared or taken, the demon's choice. The Karma Meter would prefer they have it shared.

These ended up scattered across the world, some carefully hidden away while others were found and used as means to power and protect surviving holdouts of civilization. After Jigsaw finds and accidentally absorbs one of these fragments, the characters set out to track them all down and bring them together so that the ancient goddesses can be whole once more.

Pieces of God / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Eldar war god Khaine is literally in pieces — he was shattered by Khorne during the Fall of the Eldar, and his fragments reside in the modern Craftworlds as the Avatars of Khaine. In some way, this also applies to the Immortal Emperor. There are implications — and in one The Inquisition War novels it was explicitly though unreliably stated — that this is what's happened to his conscious remnant, having split into dozens if not hundreds of personalities and fragments. There's the part that feeds the Astronomican, the fragments which influence the Emperor's Tarot, the parts that speak and give visions to his people, the tiny portions which are imbued within Astropaths during the Soul Binding, not to mention the vast amounts of effort needed to fight the Warp as a whole, and in the broken Webway gate, with the Golden Throne itself serving as a psychic barrier. The C'tan, the oldest known beings in the universe, got their asses handed to them by the Necrons and were shattered into dozens of Shards. The Shards are autonomous, acting as what are basically demigods, and the Necrons are trying to capture and tame them. Transcendant C'tan are what happens if too many Shards merge together — if enough of them unite, they reform into the original C'tan. This is obviously something the Necrons try to prevent at all costs. Following his near-death at the hands of Leman Russ, Magnus the Red shattered into dozens of Shards, each of which embodies a different aspect of his character and believes itself to be the real Magnus. Ahriman spent a good chunk of the Horus Heresy hunting down these Shards in order to put Magnus back together, but several of them could not be found and so Magnus remained incomplete. In Ahriman: Unchanged, it's revealed that one of the Shards has been hiding inside Ahrimanâ€™s mind for centuries without him knowing. Another Shard, representing Magnus's wrath, wants to complete the process and make itself the dominant aspect...

Pieces of God / int_e2bb8bee	comment	The Cosmere: There are effectively 16 Gods, called Shards, which are pieces of something called Adonalsium. Who or what exactly Adonalsium was is unclear, but it was Shattered millennia ago. The Shards are humans who have taken a piece of this power, each one representing a particular aspect of Adonalsium, referred to as an Intent. Given time, the original human personality is lost and the Shard acts only in accordance with their Intent. These Shards can also be split up, either by the holder putting pieces of their power into things, or by being "Splintered", usually by act of other Shards, meaning that the holder of a shard is killed and the power is broken apart. The power isn't destroyed regardless of what happens, but a Splintered shard is significantly less effective without conscious direction. In Mistborn trilogy, the Shards Ruin and Preservation are combined together into a single deity, indicating that is (at least theoretically) possible to gather and recombined the shards. The Returned of Warbreaker are empowered by Splinters of power from a Shard called Endowment. They are also worshiped as gods in Hallandren, meaning they're gods who are actually pieces of a god that is actually a piece of a god. The Seons and the Skaze from Elantris are also Splinters (or something very close) of two Shards called Devotion and Dominion (once held by Aona and Skai, respectively). The two Shards were splintered, but their power is still present on the planet, known collectively as the Dor. All varieties of magic in Elantris involving tapping into this power source in a variety of ways. They were splintered when Odium, another Shard, came to the planet they were on and defeated them somehow. The spren from The Stormlight Archive are pieces of three other Shards, Honor, Odium and Cultivation. The Stormfather in particular is the largest piece of the dead God Honor.

The internetâ€™s â€œFirst Presence,â€� implied to be some kind of cyber-deity, had mixed feelings about humanity using its realm, so it split itself apart to try and settle the issue. The two halves, Virtua and Legion, fought each other and ended up getting shattered themselves. Virtua (the good half) was split into four pieces â€“ three of them became known as the internetâ€™s goddesses, while the last and smallest piece became our Amnesiac Heroine Catie. Meanwhile, Legionâ€™s many fragments became the trickster race of Anonymous.

Pieces of God / int_fb9c177d	comment	Apparently this is the true form of the Transformers' god Primus in some continuities. Each Transformer houses a tiny fragment of his soul known as a "spark" that returns to the collective known as the "All Spark" upon death to share knowledge and experience as part of his incomprehensibly complex plan to deal with his Evil Counterpart Unicron, while his body remains inert as the transformed Cybertron. This is also why Primus can't just duke it out with Unicron like two planet-sized robots since in order to regain his full power to match him, Primus would have to forcibly draw back every spark in existence into himself, which would kill all the Transformers. Plus, Primus tried that once before splitting his soul up, which resulted in Unicron winning and tearing apart reality. Then there are the Alternity, Autobots and Maximals who have evolved to a point where not only are they powerful and transcendent, they're actually connected to every other alternate version of themselves or something. Even more, they can actually induct said alternate selves into a semi-Instrumentality, retaining their individuality while becoming an avatar for their Alternity. Nexus Prime, one of the original thirteen Transformers who fought to defeat Unicron in antiquity, is notable for being the combined form of five separate, sentient Cybertronians with no knowledge of their combined form. Sadly, they were forced to retake that form, sacrificing their individual personalities and consciousnesses so Nexus Prime could return (basically, the good Mirror Universe Megatron had been killed and needed to be resurrected for plot reasons. One of the Thirteen can do that; somehow, even the combined might of the guys who used to be one of the Thirteen can't.) In some versions, each of the Thirteen is the first Transformer of its kind, the ancestor of them all. For combiners, it's Nexus Prime.
