The Primordial Gods are the overarching antagonists of the manga/anime series Record of Ragnarok. They are an ancient race of deities born from primordial chaos.
History[]
There are two myths about the origin of the primordial gods, but the one officially known is a lie. According to this false story, the primordial gods were born from the primordial chaos and shaped all of creation as it is today, ruling over the world until their physical bodies began to collapse, unable to contain their immense power.
The truth is that originally there were 88 primordial gods born from the primordial chaos, who brought forth all of creation. Among these gods, four stood out in particular, known as “The Four Primordial Pillars of Yggdrasil”: Ymir, Satan, Chaos, and Odin.
One day, Yggdrasil and seven other primordial beings decided to exterminate all the lesser gods, deeming them "useless".
However, the remaining 77 Primordials turned against them, triggering a great war that would become known as the "Original Ragnarök." Despite their numerical superiority, it proved nearly impossible for the other Primordials to defeat the 11 Pillars, who were far too powerful. They ended up killing more than half of the 77 Primordials. Just when all seemed lost, Gǫllnir, the Great Inventor God, intervened and offered the surviving gods his greatest invention: Gleipnir, the Weaving of the Sealed Gods. He and the survivors decided to transport the Pillars to a land at the edge of the world and, combining their powers and life force, they sealed the Pillars using Gleipnir's forbidden technique. But wielding such a powerful technique was an immense burden, even for such mighty beings, leaving many Primordial gods grievously injured, and some even died during its use.
Appearance[]
The primordial gods had appearances similar to the current gods, being vaguely human-like with some inhuman characteristics.
