Malice

An energy of sorts created by the Deity of Malice. This magical essence allows for the creation of morbid beings or the manipulation of powers. It also grants immortality through the cannibalism of others alike.

This has caused gods to use humans as, "cattle". Using them for their selfish immortality.

But gods can eat other gods for more power. As malice builds after cannibalizing one will gain more malice. The more malice one gains the more powerful they become and the gods have a bigger influence of Malice in their flesh than an average mortal.

These gods are referred to as "god eaters". They eat for more power and become far beyond the power of a normal god. These god eaters have eaten so much malice, they've become what is known as an Eldritch.

An Eldritch is a god that has taken in too much malice that they've imploded into piles of organs and flesh. They are beings of pure malice and knowledge. After the collection of intellect from eating other gods they have ascended to a multiversal mindset. Knowing all to well of all the conjunctions and reasons of the multiverse they exist within.
