The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 25 The Zetans Become Gods on Earth.

Around 10,000 years ago the Zetan territory was unexpectedly invaded by an aggressive alien race called the Xenos. The Xenos was one of the many species that had been enhanced by Zetan explorers in the last 100 millennia's, but the Xenos was unaware of how they were created. The Xenos were extremely aggressive species, which saw the Zetans as an existential threat, which they had to eliminate. The Zetans with their superior technology had no problem repelling the first Xeno attacks on their core worlds.  Unfortunately, the Zetan homeworld of Zetani was very far away from the Xeno homeworld Xenora, so the Zetans became bogged down into an unwinnable multi-millennial interstellar war of attrition.  The Zetans dilemma was that their incredibly long lifespans and slow life cycles made it impossible to rebuild their numbers despite killing hundreds as many enemies as their own losses in every battle.

The Zetan leadership consisting of Brahma, Yahweh, Zeus, and Odin realised that humans from Earth would be excellent as combat troops for the Zetan army. Humans were similar to the Xenos in the regard that they had short lifespans and reproduced quickly. Humans were also intelligent enough to use Zetan equipment while being easy to control.

The next step was recruiting humans to the Zetan armed forces. Yahweh came up with the solution: The humans seemed to spend a lot of time and effort trying to gain approval from various supernatural beings referred to collectively as gods and spirits. What if they could convince the humans that the Zetans were the gods they were trying to communicate with?

The Zetans decided that this was an excellent way to get human volunteers for their armies. The humans seemed to dream about going to heaven after they died so why not reverse the order and first go to heaven and then die?

Becoming human gods was easy for the Zetans. Their technology was advanced enough to appear to be magic to the Stone Age humans, and their DNA changing technology made it possible for them to alter their appearances so that they resembled the gods that various human cultures worshipped. Soon the Zetans learned that Earth was a dangerous place and that human worship could sometimes mean trying to kill their gods. Furthermore, the vast variety of human languages and dialects made it a tedious task trying to communicate with them. The Zetans eventually found a solution; They left prominent humans work for them on Earth, and they controlled these humans with mind control technology. Through their ability to directly control their human leaders on Earth the Zetans could achieve their goals while staying out of harm's way from the aggressive and unpredictable humans.

The individuals ruling Earth for the Zetans were called angels or demi-gods depending on their culture. They were genetically enhanced by the Zetans to look physically superior to the other humans so that they would be admired. The Zetans were not particularly interested in the minuscule details of the daily human lives, and they left these details to the Angels. The Zetan had two commands for all their human followers.

1.    Be fruitful and multiply as much as you can.

2.    Wage constant wars.

These commands were designed to supply the best possible recruits for the Zetan army. Humans needed to procreate as quickly as possible to provide enough recruits, and they needed to fight among themselves so that the Zetan could pick the best recruits for their armed forces. Only a small percentage of human warriors were good enough to be enlisted into the Zetan army.

The recruitment process took place on certain dates that were different in distinct cultures. The recruitment day was the most significant holiday for a culture. During the recruitment day, the best warriors gathered on top of a building that was visible for the rest of their tribe. On the top of the building was the Zetan or Zetans that were assigned to be gods of that culture. The angels then implanted the human chip in each of their chosen warriors and started to chant. At the height of the ceremony, the ascension process started where everyone started levitating seen in awe by the people below. Then the Zetan started their machine for dimensional travel and they all disappeared in a flash.  The humans landed in a zone of the Divine Dimension where the Zetans had brought weapons and equipment. They trained here until they were ready to go to war. They were teleported the battlefield so they could fight "the holy war against evil" for their Zetan masters against the Xeno. Most of these humans died in battle, but a few of them retired on a distant, uninhabited planet that was terraformed to be the ultimate human worlds.
