Kagutsuchi (Shin Megami Tensei)

==Summary==
Kagustuchi is the overseer of the Amala Universe and the main antagonist of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. An avatar of YHVH, it maintains the endless cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth across all worlds. An apocalyptic event, Conception, prepares for the universe's rebirth when it reaches the end.
With the Conception, Kagutsuchi manifests on Earth, selecting the individuals who hold a Reason capable of shaping the universe that is to be born. Then, a specific location is twisted into a spherical shape that defies gravity, and a Vortex World is created. All that exists outside of it is erased from existence, and every living being but the selected humans die. The survivors must then develop their reason and meet with Kagutsuchi at the center of the Vortex World to prove their worth and create the new universe.
Thus, Kagutsuchi appears to be a neutral entity, with its purpose being the maintenance of existence. However, it holds a different ultimate goal: To forever perpetuate the suffering of humanity through the endless conflict of Law and Chaos. As an agent of YHVH, it holds no goodwill towards humanity, and perceives freedom in all forms as the seed of evil and ruin, and should the Demi-Fiend refuse to create a new world, Kagutsuchi will violently attack him and attempt to erase him from existence in anger.

Attack Potency: Outerverse level (Stated to be the light that illuminates and sustains the Vortex World, responsible for providing power to all of its inhabitants, and without which they simply cease to be alongside their realms, fading into "nothing," with the entities powered by Kagutsuchi including the likes of Mot, who appears in droves as a random encounter within its tower. Fought against the Demi-Fiend, and although defeated, lasts long enough against him and his party to be fought across two phases. Capable of empowering the Reason Gods, among which is Ahriman, in order to allow them to reshape the foundation of the Vortex World and birth a new reality) | Outerverse level (Exists as the light that encompasses and administers all of creation, and is immensely superior to its individual manifestations that exist throughout the infinite worlds of the Amala Universe)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
More detailed information on this character's skill list can be found in the Megami Tensei wiki
Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.
* Dekaja: Nullifies all statistics amplifications from all enemies
* Dekunda: Nullifies all negative statistic modifications inflicted upon himself.
Almighty Attacks: The highest class of spells in the Megami Tensei franchise, consisting largely of powerful non-elemental attacks that have the special property of completely bypassing any resistances or immunities that a target may possess, be them innate or magically enforced, the latter of which including anything from reflective barriers to items that distort the very laws of the universe in order to protect the user from all forms of damage, and they are likewise unable to blocked, drained or generally defended against. Unlike the majority of demons, Kagutsuchi's normal attacks also carry the Almighty property.
* Megidola: Unleashes a wave of destructive energy which deals heavy damage to all foes, tapping into the pale light of divinity that reigns over destruction itself and engulfing them in "the complete annihilation beyond death."
* Vast Light: Unleashes the light of creation stored within, and personified by, himself in the form of an extremely powerful undodgeable attack. Has a stronger version known as Infinite Light.
