Sofia, one of the most powerful Arch-Succubi in the world, was born around 2,000 years in the past. Meanwhile, powerful monster girls begun posing as goddesses, while a notable cult attempted to use an angel to siphon power from Venereae while she was still weak and use that divine energy to create a new goddess, though they were stopped by Sofia. This led to the Virtue Echelon of the goddess' servants (including creatures like Nymphs, who are not overly angelic) to be persecuted by her compatriots due to being believed to be simple monster girls. The goddess' disappearance caused a schism among the angelic Echelons and her church, who were torn between those who who still followed her old faith and those who considered monster girls wicked and rejected the sexual aspects of the faith. Little is known of what transpired in the next 98,000 years, but the ancient technology of the time was largely lost during the war. In this weakened state, the goddess was cut off from her angels, but was still powerful enough to grant the gift of Holy magic to humans, allowing them to defeat the first Demon Queen. However, the peace ended with Venereae being betrayed by the monster who would become the first Demon Queen, trapping the goddess in the Celestial Realm and instigating the war between monsters and humans. Technology was also much more advanced than in the modern era, rivalling or surpassing the technology of current-day Earth. In the ancient past, around 100,000 years ago, humans and monster girls lived in harmony. Venereae, the Goddess of Light, is the only known true divinity of the world, but it is unknown whether she was its creator or not. The origins of the MGD world are unknown.
