Thamiel

==Summary==
Thamiel is the Left Hand of God, a facet of His that personifies the abstract concept of evil, and exists as the lord of all demons and ruler of Hell, where he takes sick delight in viciously tormenting damned souls in the most horrible manners for all eternity. His existence was initially not known to the angels of Heaven, until Sataniel carved deep into the Earth, and within its center encountered Thamiel's grim realm. Due to his fundamentally gullible and naïve psychology, Sataniel was easily swayed by the Demon Lord's unorthodox teachings, and eventually spread them upon a third of the heavenly host, causing them to abandon their usual state-of-affairs (which consisted mostly of endlessly praising God) and fall from grace entirely.
Eventually, the Archangels declared war upon Thamiel and his hordes of demons, but given their complete obliviousness in regards to basic concepts such as lies and stratagems, were easily defeated, with the Archangel Michael being permanently killed in combat, and Gabriel and Uriel left as the last remaining Archangels after forty years of war. However, Thamiel's imminent victory came to an abrupt end as Uriel rewrote the fundamental laws of reality, converting the universe into a mathematical framework that did not need the light of God or any supernatural elements. Being inherently magical in nature, Thamiel did not endure the world-changing transition, and although he didn't truly die, he was transformed into a metaphor, incapable of affecting the world in any meaningful way.
This was undone, however, when the Apollo 8 crashed into the crystal sphere surrounding the planet in 1969, and caused divine light to suffuse itself back into the universe, resulting in the partial return of the supernatural. Thamiel managed to manifest himself in a weakened state, reforming his hosts of demons and moving on to conquer the world, though in far more subtle ways, this time around.

Can reform his physical self even after its complete destruction,Chapter 16: If Perchance With Iron Power He Might Avert His Own Despair being a disembodied abstract spirit otherwise), Space-Time Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Pain Manipulation (Inflicted Sohu with a fraction of the torments of Hell, which caused her to be deprived of all her strength and feel as if she had become a living cancer in the universe, where "every fiber of her being united in a collective urge to vomit that would never be satiated"Chapter 13: The Image of Eternal Death), Enhanced Senses (Malia Ngo, who partakes in the same demonic nature as him, can see invisible things.

Attack Potency: At least Town level (Casually destroyed Samyazaz' ziggurat with a flick of his bident, and governs all hosts of demons, a single one of which comprises a massive cloud spanning miles. Stated to be on a completely different level than Archangels such as Gabriel, who claimed to be able to incinerate hurricanes "until no shred of cloud is left" over an uncertain timeframe, and Uriel, who can casually smite entire towns and lift mountains several hundred meters off the ground with a wave of his handChapter 20: When The Stars Threw Down Their Spears), likely far higher while unrestricted (The true power of Angels and Demons is described as "unplumbably immense" by Aaron, with their restricted states induced by Uriel's celestial machine being "semi-human" in comparison and only limited to a fraction of their true power.Chapter 16: If Perchance With Iron Power He Might Avert His Own DespairChapter 69: Love Seeketh Not Itself To Please His victory and the destruction of the laws of physics would lead to the end of the world itself)
Speed: Hypersonic+ Combat and Attack Speed (Fought against the Comet King in a battle that was too fast for human eyes to perceive, with the air itself sizzling around them, and should be physically superior to Uriel). Omnipresent in his True Form (Exists as an abstract concept embodying an absence of the light of God that is present all across reality, extending further beyond the physical world and into the higher realms outside of space and time, being a fundamental constant engraved into the very blueprint of creation)

Stamina: Infinite.
Range: Interdimensional
Standard Equipment: His Bident, as well as countless hosts of demons.
Intelligence: An extremely skilled manipulator, torturer and strategist who has ruled Hell for an untold amount of time, specializing himself in tormenting humans psychologically and driving them towards sin and evil, and having concocted an intricate plan to subtly maximize the amount of both throughout several states in order to lead as many people as possible to Hell.Interlude ע: Hell On Earth As the Father of Lies, Thamiel is also very apt when it comes to making good use of the exact words necessary for others to let him into their side, managing to establish himself as a powerful and charismatic ally of the USA and several world governments in spite of his extremely malign nature being widely known to the public for years. Furthermore, he is extremely adept at Kabbalah, being capable of flawlessly drawing connections between any two aspects of the universe, skillfully enough for him to evenly match Uriel and defeat Sohu in a battle of Applied Kabbalah.
Weaknesses: None Notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Applied Kabbalah: A form of semantic manipulation which functions by understanding that all things in Assiah, the physical world, are merely metaphors for fundamental archetypes residing in Yetzirah, the world of dreams and concepts, whose meaning defines the entirety of their behaviour and inner workings, with this relationship extending even to abstract concepts and strata such as time and spaceChapter 44: A World Within Opening Its Gates. Thamiel is then capable of accessing Yetzirah and directly manipulating the archetypal forms defining everything in his surroundings, which often manifest as long strings of letters forming words which he can rearrange and weaponize to distort reality at will, tapping into the semantic and lexical energies contained in all things.
For example, while in the mythical city of Teotihuacan, Samyazaz could deconstruct the name of the place itself to form the german word "TOT", meaning dead, which allowed him to launch an attack that would automatically be a fatal blow to his opponentChapter 38: I Will Not Cease From Mental Fight. Similarly, when fighting within a hurricane, Thamiel was able to take the root of the word itself (HRCN), rearrange it into "CHRN" and then into "ACHERON", which corresponded to the lake of fire and lava that forms the border of Hell, thus causing the entire storm to darken and become deathly hot.Chapter 13: The Image of Eternal Death
* Kefitzat Haderech: A magic technique whose name translates to "shortening the path" in Hebrew. It can be learned when an individual recognizes that they are merely emanations of divine light existing through all of the four worlds of creation, with their position in the lower worlds being just a metaphor for a state partaken by their higher selves residing in the upper worlds;Chapter 44: A World Within Opening Its Gates thus, by realizing that being somewhere else is an equally good metaphor for the higher state as being in the original location, they can emanate somewhere else in the physical world at will, which manifests as their body desintegrating into a lightning bolt and reappearing in a desired location.
