Third Person P.O.V
Humanity was coming to an end. All of their history and people, billions upon billions of humans and millennia of the human race's existence were to be wiped from the face of the Earth. Each and every effort and struggle were going to be made meaningless in an instant, as if none of it mattered. Why? Well...
It was the will of the Gods! The very creators of humanity wish for its demise!
???: Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. A thousand years have passed since we last gathered here. I hereby call this council to order!
An old scrawny man sat atop a throne with a wooden gavel in hand, beside him a vicious beast of some kind sat quietly like a lazy cat. Who was this withered man who looked like he was on the verge of death's door? This man is none other than Zeus himself! The Grandfather of the Cosmos and respected by all gods! Well, close enough to all gods.
But what was this council exactly? It is the Council of Valhalla, a gathering of all the gods of the world to determine the fate of mankind! The fate of every single human from both the past and present rested solely on the whims of the gods during this meeting. Mankind was lucky enough that all previous councils had ended in their favor. But this one... was different.
Zeus: Now then, without further ado... all in favor of mankind living for another 1,000 years say 'aye'! Those in favor of commencing the apocalypse and ending humanity say 'nay'! Show your will, ye gods.
This was the power the gods held, so much that all of humanity continued its existence only because of a nonchalant vote! So, how would this vote go? Two arms raised both holding a sign with a painted x on it, yet this wasn't from two separate gods. This was Shiva, the Hindu god of creation and destruction!
Shiva: Why don't we just end them already? From what I've seen over the past millennium... they never learn or feel regret and guiding them is just too troublesome already. Let's just destroy them and evolve some other animal instead to take their place!
Another god began to speak up, a lady with radiant beauty and golden hair, along with... a physics defying chest held up by two statue like beings. This was Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and of course, beauty.
Aphrodite: The world has become repulsive over the last thousand years. Nature has been destroyed and corrupted into a hideous form by man. One could say... that mankind is a cancer to the planet itself. Ah, to call them an unmatched disaster would also be fitting, no?
Two gods of such fame and importance saying such negative things led even more gods to agree with their arguments and vote in favor of the destruction of humanity.
Gods: Aphrodite is right!/Mankind is a scourge!/They're beyond saving!/ Let's destroy them already!/I looked at their so called 'internet' for a mere second and was already repulsed more in that second than the time from the big bang until now!
Both mutters and roaring shouts of disproval of the ways and continued existence of mankind resounded throughout the massive arena the meeting took place in. Nay after nay and sign after sign marked with an x in favor of ending all humans filled the arena of gods. The consensus of the council this time around had fell in favor of the unanimous destruction of mankind!
Zeus: It appears... we have all reached a conclusion. Therefore! I hereby declare the apocalypse of manki-
However one such god, or more accurately demi-god, had an objection. Brunhilde, a valkyrie who's purpose was to guide strong human warriors to the afterlife. Akin to a certain man in the court of law she stood up extremely fast and full of determination to stop this apocalypse. With this she was about to shout out an unheard of proposal to the gods!
