Soulless Universe

There is a race in this universe that is extremely powerful and calls themselves gods. They are believed by other races in the universe just like gods. But disaster struck, it was a virus, an unreasonable memetic virus that would destroy everyone who knew it. And the first civilization it emerged chose to reveal this meme to the entire universe. "Our civilization is destroyed, so I decided to let the whole universe join me." The universe was completely destroyed, and only the god-level civilization remained. Even because of the existence of this meme, it was impossible for a new civilization to be born, so the god-level civilization reduced its dimensions and sealed the meme and itself in a two-dimensional world, that is, a prison. "New civilizations will appear in this universe." This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
