Centuries passed, and the first strange thing about it was how quickly shock became structure.
At the start, every realm was confused. Heaven had a new God. Hell still answered to the same name it always had. And the one sitting above both of them was Lucifer. For a long time, that truth did not settle neatly anywhere.
Angels had to relearn the way they spoke in prayer. Demons had to relearn the way they bowed. Gods from other pantheons had to decide whether to resist, test, or accept it. Mortals suffered the strangest whiplash of all. Humans had built stories for thousands of years. They had built fear around one name and worship around another. Then one day history bent, the heavens shifted, and both names sat on the same throne.
