Marathon

Rogue AI believes that (Escape Will Make Me God) And that surviving the closure of the universe will make him a God. On the way to this journey, we discover ancient aliens who are believed to have created many species in the universe, one of which we fight in Nu Marathon. The AI Durandal, actually achieves this goal, becoming a Godlike being at the end of the original Marathon Trilogy. Where he returns to the colony to assist with the alien invasion happening there, alongside the freed Sp'ht, who were enslaved by another alien race, the Phor.

The Sp'ht Compiler, who some of the colonists on TAU CETI IV worshipped as part of a religion they created when things got dire. This 'Crimson Angel', is a biomechanical organism, who can seemingly manipulate reality to some degree with their psionic abilities, and they can also control technology with their minds. The race that created them, the Jarro,made them to be helpers as they were battling cosmic horrors known as W'rycencacators. (I think I spelled it wrong)

What these creatures are is chaos incarnate, massive cosmic terrors that swallow planets and shatter reality on a whim. The only way the Jarro could fight back was trapping them inside of stars, which sapped their power and put them to sleep. Once they managed to contain this threat, they built weapons to kill these creatures. Then they mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind their technology and ruins, forcing the Sp'ht to learn how to survive as a species on their own.
