[ WP ] Aliens arrive on Earth , but worship US as gods .

In the far future, humans have evolved into the dominant species in the galaxy. The most advanced in all fields. Once reaching the singularity things just kind of took off from there. The funny thing was that we spent years searching for life in the stars, even though nothing was to be found. No species was as advanced as us. We were the first. Somebody had to be. 
 
 We traveled the stars and found simple life forms. Primitive beings just beginning to develop intelligence. Being the enterprising race that we were we picked them up and made them more intelligent, more like us. We provided them with technology, intelligence and much more. We did so more and more finding new races all over the galaxy. We had built an empire spanning the galaxy. Some species developed different views of us. The most trusted and earliest of the races to be elevated had a god like view of us. Their species made pilgrimages to Earth, offered us sacrifices, followed our word as law. 
 
 However as more and more species joined. The newest did not hold us as high as the eldest. A great war broke out between zealots and infidels. Planets were shattered, worlds and suns destroyed, whole solar systems erased from star maps. The galaxy was rife with genocide. Us humans even with all of technological marvels could do little to stem the tide of thousands of races. We retreated back to our holdings and protected our colonies, sure we could hold them. 
 
 The galaxy went black. No communication was heard for years. We were unsure of what had happened. Finally a fleet was seen on the edge of human space. It was the Dushraki. A species of that chose the cybernetic path and had merged as one hive species. Being of almost ant origins, this was what they saw as the most harmonious path for their species. They were zealots who worshiped us. They had purged the galaxy of all the non-believers. 
 
 Although they came longing for the spoils of war. They wished to ascend. The leaders of the zealots told their soldiers that if the non-believers were purged, the gods would ascend the ones killed the non-believers. This was the message at first. However it changed over time. The zealots won the war long before the Dushraki showed up to human space. 
 
 The Zealots began slaughtering other believers. Thinking that they would be challenged for ascension. Seeing the war won other zealots laid down arms. Then unknowingly let these Dushraki crusaders onto their worlds as the champions of the war. To later be slaughtered like lambs. Races were wiped out and completely enslaved to the rule of the Dushraki. They then came to Earth thinking themselves worthy of god hood. 
 
 When the Dushraki met with our leaders, they seemed appalled and insulted. They saw Humans and wondered were their gods were. We explained we were not gods merely another race the same as them. Fueled with fervor of false promises they declared us as imposters. This is when The Dushraki destroyed an outlying colony system. They were bent on our destruction. All of us. They saw us as the last thing standing between them and ascension. 
 
 We may have been withdrawn from the war. However we grew in strength and technology. In fact, in all meaning we were gods. Planets changed for us. Worlds shattered for us. Races knelt for us. We would show the Dushraki why we were seen as the ancients, the divine, as true gods. The Dushraki became technology and relied on it for their whole life and society. We as a society decided not to become integrated completely. There were small networks to an extent, but our whole race seemed ludicrous. The gods can give and the gods can take away. We took their hive mind away. shattered their integrated consciousness. We took life from the Dushraki, life we had breathed into them. Broke them down evolutionary to their most primitive form. Their earliest form were the size of a small house cat. There were still billions of them. They were just small and dumb now. We then burned them. Split them on a molecular level. The whole species existence was utterly destroyed. 
 
 We felt triumphant at first. We had finally won the long war. A war which we started. How had we not suffered in the end. We who caused and ended all of it. Could we have known that the lives of billions upon billions would have been lost? no. However the lives of billions upon billions more had lived because of us. For in the end none of these societies would have thrived without us. Which in led us to do it again. Only we hoped for a different outcome. Maybe with this experience it would n't have to end in carnage.
