Gravity weighed down upon The City in a way it had never truly weighed before.
The City was in eternal motion, power and life and divinity flowing in all directions at all times from all places. With every instant, more beings and forces entered and exited its borders than anywhere else in creation. The City was not merely the grandest of all cities, but the very Divine ideal of a city itself; made by the Highest of all Gods, for the Highest of all Gods, to house the Highest of all Gods. Since the first brick was laid shortly after the dawn of time as the Gods knew it, until the present, The City had been a hub of infinite movement completely unbroken. Until now, when it and all within were standing in total and unbroken silence and petrified awe.
Silence aside from the occasional creak and crack of The City's central Ur-Pantheon Palace, at least.
The City hadn't expected anything to come of it. Just one distant foreign Pantheon politely requesting negotiations regarding a few simple diplomatic matters. Utterly routine, and normal, and part of The City's heartbeat. Certainly, the representative had been impressive, but The City was full of the most impressive instances of so many things already.
The most impressive scale; the foundations of individual buildings sprawling wider across than entire Divine empires, and the air itself filled with full universes and multiverses and omniverses and even exoverses the way a lesser city's air would be full of mere soot and dust.
The most impressive architecture; with roads leading to and from every point and every time ever traveled, and unbelievable sacred megastatues whose toes alone towered thousands of stories beyond The City's streets and were surpassed only by The City's absolute greatest skyscrapers.
The most impressive government; transcendent beings so far above even The City itself that they could only rule it safely from within a sealed and shielded monument to their own overwhelming glory, issuing their edicts and orders from behind its invincible and completely unbreakable walls which towered literal orders of magnitude above everything else and stretched across a near third of its area.
So why should those divine leaders have doubted they were free to shut out the impressive guest, rebuff them with mockery and outright refusal to listen to their surely-irrelevant concerns? They were not some mere council, or bureaucracy, or even pantheon- they were The Rulers of The City. Nobody was sufficiently important nor impressive to show up unannounced and meet them on the spot. It was not done. It was not possible.
So they laughed the representative away, telling them to return with humility worthy of one dreaming to address The Rulers of The City- that is to say, to give up and never bother them again. There were far bigger matters for The Rulers to discuss.
Then the quakes came.
They came at a rhythm, a steady and consistent pace. They started soft and gentle, then grew firm and noticeable, then became deafening and overwhelming. The City rippled and twisted like a sheet of paper in the wind, bowing but not breaking as confusion and disbelief flooded the streets.
Then the darkness came.
Half of the city. From its furthest edges to its heart and center, all was black, the shadows so intense that they stripped the glow out of the lights themselves and crushed them to nothingness. Nobody knew what could cause such a total eclipse, what possible amount of force could so well and truly overshadow luminance as a concept.
Then the paw came.
It was not until then that the Divine beings who lived in the city grasped the enormity of the presence above them. It was not until toepads dimpled around the highest peaks, that fur strands blanketed millions of roadways each, that the gleam of the entire cosmos was reflected down from the perfectly polished surfaces of the platinum white claws. It was not until they saw all this, and then saw the rest of the being to which that same City-enveloping paw was attached. Then they began to realize their situation. Or so they thought.
Her tails lashed out, gathering up the largest objects and locations hovering above the Palace of The Rulers of The City- its celestial walls not reaching high enough to so much as grace her knees- and collected them. At once metallic and cloth and organic, the dual strips ensnared anything large enough to be held, and cleared away an empty space above the Palace's roof.
She smoothed out her professional-looking skirt- brushing a palm across it and sweeping out more exoverses from its folds than could fit in The City's most spacious landmarks- and sat down. Upon the Palace. With one paw splayed comfortably across half The City, and the other looming across the heavens of the remainder in the form of an unending sky of black pads and blue fur and shining claws.
Whereas the half of the city beneath her paw was unharmed- trapped, inescapable, but unharmed- she paid no such delicacy to her chair. It suffered her weight, instantly cracking and bowing outwards as the supremely reinforced barricades were squished like cheap plastic. In an instant, its hitherto-unmarred surface was repainted in a web of fractures and breaks that reached out to every inch of its construction.
She settled down. She made herself very comfortable: toes stroking casually across the carpet-like texture of The City's streets, rear crunching down the roof of the Palace in slow descent, tails drifting aimlessly around her while still holding the vast worlds and city-fragments she'd moved. And she waited. Silently, impatiently, demandingly, she loomed above The City and wordlessly awaited the appointment she had just scheduled for herself through nothing more than her sheer raw presence alone.
The City had been holding its breath, fearfully staring upwards in mind-numbing incomprehension and helpless uncertainty. For a moment, they were certain that this woman, this being, this force had shown them true glory, true power, true superiority. That, whatever her purpose and origin, this Goddess beyond Goddesses- this Goddess beyond The City itself- had established once and for all the final and complete measurement of absolute importance, and existed on a level more impressive than any other before or since.
It was about at this time that the inhabitants of The City began to notice her eyes. Her striking red eyes staring down at them as a collective whole from beneath her crystalline crown of shifting beauty. Her calm, judgmental, inescapable eyes. Her non-glowing, non-radiant, disturbingly normal eyes that marked the presence before them as not being the divine true body of a Goddess at full power, but nothing more than the mere mortal avatar body of a Goddess restraining herself among lesser beings.
This important and impressive guest was very quickly and humbly permitted to meet with The Rulers of The City, in person, unannounced and on the spot, to discuss whatever concerns she deemed sufficiently relevant.
Story by VDO
Charity is one of VDO's most powerful characters, which with his cast is saying a lot.
Here she is passing judgement upon a smaller pantheon of deities who reside in the building that she's sat upon. Those gods are themselves the gods of the countless other gods and goddesses who live in the divine city. And then there's "tiny" planets of even smaller gods, furthering the chain even more... And it's not as if those are particularly minor gods either - all those little dots aren't stars but are infact omniverses making everyone in the picture extremely big.
...And this is a particularly small avatar for Charity. She didn't want to intimidate them TOO much while visiting afterall.
What will become of this pantheon of pantheons? Well that depends on how their meeting goes.

1: Because she, uh, isn't a super-stompy character, more the type who likes her paws pampered and stuff? Being under her paws is normally meant as a reward. The City here just happened to be lucky enough that she wanted a spot to rest her paws while she was waiting! Also because I haven't really had a chance to get much art of her at all yet, her design wasn't fully complete and the parts of it I did have involved large digitigrade paws, which is a style not everyone can handle.
2: In the right circumstances, sure, but she won't ever just rampage for the heck of it.
3: I'm, uh good?

Happy to answer and expound on my nonsensical cast :D
Charity was actually a mortal businesswoman! BusinessSuicune, I mean. She was born and raised in one of the AEsir cosmi countless universe-lifetimes ago, and quickly showed herself to be incredibly skilled at management. She eventually proved herself so talented that she was promoted to a full-blown goddess, and then continued to rise through the ranks. She's currently the 5th most powerful goddess in the AEsir Pantheon (after Karin, Sunny, Inari, and Fenris, in that order), although she is actually 3rd in rank (since Inari and Fenris share the top spot, and Karin still technically reports up to Charity despite completely outpowering her). There's not really any more chance for her to be promoted further, but she's quite happy with her current position and all its benefits.
So yeah. Charity's big beyond reason or understanding... But there's still bigger <3

Thanks! It's a lot of fun, yeah <3 As you can probably tell from the story here, to say that Charity has gone from normal to top of the scale is a heck of an understatement- she's really more broken the scale on every level! Her personality can be very intimidating, even without considering her immeasurable power, because she has a strong love for a business motif that she picked up in her mortal days. But it's served her well, and she's 110% focused on maximizing benevolence, rather than profits, as per her job's requirements. She's very compassionate and helpful with mortals, but any gods and goddesses working beneath her need to offer top-notch results!
Of course, you did mention Karin, though, and... Well, Karin's sort of gone back and fixed the scale after Charity broke it, made it unbreakable and perfectly accurate, and given it a personal and heartfelt apology and hug. Unlike the eons Charity needed to reach her position, it's taken roughly half a decade for Karin to grow from a uniquely tiny and weak mortal Growlithe into a fluffy Arcanine Goddess who is already more powerful compared to Charity than Charity could ever be compared to any mortal. And Karin has done all this growing at minimum power and speed, since she eagerly shares out as much power as possible with Charity and her fellow deities, to help them better serve. Not to mention that she hasn't even gotten close to starting her first real growth spurts... Still, she knows that she's still relatively new to divinity, and so she's happy to let Charity mentor her in the ways of goddesshood as her humble and eager student (although she ends up teaching Charity far more than the reverse)!
The two of them make a heck of a team <3

Oooh, so it sounds like eventually the two of them might reach new heights once Karin starts REALLY growing, huh? They sound like a pretty neat pair, and Karin's always been one of my favorites, what with her being the nicest darn goddess with the most power, hehe. Well, and of course how she started out especially weak, not even just normal. I think that's so cool.
They definitely will, yeah, although even now Karin's helping them achieve incredible benevolence and power. Karin and Sunny/Okamitsune are pretty much going to set all the records for goddess growth, but they'll be happy to bring their friends and family along- which definitely includes Charity, as she's been a great help for management over the years and is a personal friend to Karin (she and Sunny have a respectful disagreement about the appropriate amount of silliness and growth to be engaged in, but the respect part is more important than the disagreement).
Thanks, and glad to hear Karin's a favorite- I can understand why, if you're the Kardo I remember from Writing.com, haha. I absolutely do adore her. She really is just the biggest sweetheart goddesspuppy!

Yeah, I'm that Kardo :P
Honestly I'm always surprised when people recognize me from there, haha.
And yeah Karin's just such a darn nice person! Like, there's all kinds of nice deities that could exist, and Karin's kinda the best of the best, hehe. Friends, loving, and most importantly she doesn't really feel 'superior' to the mortals, from what I've seen. I mean, that makes her not so great at being intimidating like Charity is here, so it's a good thing she has such good friends to sorta watch out for her, you know?

You were quite a heavyweight on the site for a while, pretty much the go-to for gentle macros. I've seen you around here a few times, but it's good to hear you're still thinking big!
Gosh, you'll make Karin blush (and erupt in literally immeasurable praise-growth) talking about her like that! She'd gush about how many other, far nicer and stronger and better deities she's met are each more worthy of such compliments than she is (all of whom could never even hold a candle to the firefluffpup); and explain how her role as a goddess means she actually exists to serve wonderful mortals and deities like you as your humble and dedicated assistant and guardian and caretaker; and cuddle you in her all-powerful, all-fluffy, all-outgrowy arms and give you adoring slurpkisses. That ends up being her reaction to most compliments!
She can do intimidating when needed, though. The only real way to get her upset that has yet been found is to threaten her friends and allies. She can manage an unfathomably imposing guard dog impression when needed, but she absolutely hates doing so. And she's accidentally intimidated a few deities by infinitely outsizing them like Charity is doing here, but those were actually just cases where she didn't realize how afraid they might be of her relatively infinitesimal avatars- she's gotten much better about that!

Im rather speechless because of this pic, (in a good way) so here, this sums it up.

Yeah there's an awful lot of layers of gods at play here! That solid wall of paw goes on for a very, very long way.
Charity is ridiculously overpowered aye. And there's nothing worse for pantheons than seeing her scowling down at them while writing notes on her clipboard.
