What Is It?
The Slaughter of Souls was a brutal event where the angels and demons devoured the other's assigned souls out of curiosity, and later, spite.
What Happened?
Angels and demons were on friendly terms until the demons became bored of the heavy souls they had to eat. And wanted to see what light souls tasted like. So they took to the skies dividing the two worlds, feasting on every unburdened soul they found.
This led to the angels witnessing a significant decrease in their supply, therefore causing many to starve and perish. In retaliation, the angels dove into the skies and devoured every burdened soul, causing many demons to starve and die. This event was soon infamously named the "Slaughter of Souls".
After centuries of illicit feasting and countless deaths, the gods had had enough. They sent their creations back to their realms and cut off access to the skies, preventing travel between the hellish and heavenly worlds.
Deeply ashamed of their gross misdeeds, the ancient beings went down on their hands and knees, begging their respective god for forgiveness and a second chance. Ameuses, moved by this display, forgave the angels and granted them access to the skies once more. On the other hand, while Zutnebas forgave his creations, he never allowed the demons to enter the skies.
Creation of the Nulls
The vastly different souls devoured by the angels and demons took a major toll on their bodies, morphing, twisting and mutating them until the result no longer resembled an angel or demon. These new beings were called "Nulls."
Horrified by this transformation, their former brethren cast them out. With nowhere to go, the Nulls sought refuge next to the human world, in a place that would soon be known as Limbo. There, these being would spend the rest of their days judging the neutral souls that enter their domain.
