    I have this mental fanfiction that every god has a way to be killed, and when you kill them you can get things from them.

    For instance, the one that I refer to the most often is Ben Franklin using a kite and a key to slay Zeus and to steal electricity from him.

    And then of course there's Prometheus who intentionally and willfully laid down his own life so that humanity could have fire.

    But there are more gods than there are words to describe them.

    What other gods have we claimed existed, that we humans have likely slain, and what do you think we got from them?

      Until Dionysus died, we only had super strong wine that was only tasty if sweetened with lead.

      After killing him, we were awarded with moonshine, whiskey, and vodka. But it also unleashed all the STDs known to man, straight out of Pandora's disease-ridden box.

        I'll encourage you to investigate the AD&D-D&D 5th Ed. material concerning the Forgotten Realm setting's Gods, all the way up to Ao. Murdering them imbues their killer with their 'portfolio', specific deity controlled influence over Harvest, War, Music, Healing, etc. See also, the entire plot concerning 'The Time of Troubles' most notably seen in Baldur's Gate (1998).

                Although, like, okay, this does raise an interesting question.

                What if the gods made this like unbelievably attractive beautiful hoochie mama, and told all the world, "Don't fuck this one girl, and you'll be fine", and then somebody went and had sex with the girl, only to find out that her hymen was, ha ha ha, I can't even say it, that her hymen was the lock on Pandora's box, and when somebody put their dick in there, they let out all of the syphilis and herpes and gonorrhea and HIV and chlamydia like a nuclear bomb went off on that guy's penis and testicles, they just immediately eroded like Alien acid was sprayed on it.

                I was using voice to text for this, and sorry that it rambles, but I'm just gonna keep it the way it was, cause holy shit, that's a hilarious fucking mental picture of a guy just... getting his dick blown off by some fire-ass pussy
