"Have I not (quoth he) good cause to weep, that being as there are an infinite number of worlds, I am not yet the lord of one?"
-On Tranquility of the Mind
What challenge remains for those that have mastered their world?
Every threat destroyed, every rival beaten, every secret learned, every treasure hoarded?
At the pinnacle of power, with only the heavens themselves still above?
There are those content to rule but a single world as a god or king. You are not content.
You took it upon yourself to break into heaven, to kill the gods and topple their thrones.
But you weren't the first, and you won't be the last.
Heaven is overrun with broken heroes and mad gods, and the lust for blood, gold, control, and power runs high.
Will you join the war in Heaven and fight to carve out a piece of Creation for your own?
Will you protect the world that bore you from the malevolent forces beyond the veil of reality?
Will you fight, or will you die like a dog?
Choose now: be you peasant, king, or god?

tl;dr
What's the worst part about breaking into heaven to kill god and topple his throne? Finding out you're the last guy to break into heaven to kill god and topple his throne.
The concept is this: you play as the endgame hero from your "world." You finished the quest, beat the final boss, got all the treasure in the world. Player characters in this game have managed to go beyond that, achieving some sort of ascended state, enlightenment, or sheer scientific prowess, and have fully escaped from their own universe.
What they find is Heaven, but not what they were expecting. The place between worlds has long been populated by a thousand heroes from a thousand worlds, New Gods, who have made the multiverse their playground and battlefield in equal, infinite measure. Their attempts at a chaotic, squabbling multiversal society has been held in a tenuous peace, but with the disappearance of the First, the Aeon King, the denizens of Heaven have fallen to squabbling amongst themselves for control.
This leaves you, the player, in the midst of the struggle. Are you a fresh-faced New God, blade still wet with the blood of mortal foes, ready to face new, immortal opponents? Or are you a long-reigning god of the celestial order, determined to retain order in your portioned corner of the multiverse? The options are literally limitless.
And as ever, please, comments, questions, concerns.
