“ It felt so good... The day I lost my little friend. Ahh, how pleasant it was the sorrow I felt when I lost my mother. It was so delicious. That joy... And when that day had arrived... The day that humans showed their fangs to us and put my race to the sword... Ahh, I understand. It can be done this way as well. Bringing sorrow, despair and sadness to other people. Unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable. Humans. You all started this. So I'm not one to blame. Daring to destroy our village, killing our friends so cruelly. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to retaliate. Thank you for giving me a reason for slaughtering you. I want revenge. Thank you for giving me a motive for revenge. I will change this world. T͏h̢aǹk̀ ͠yo͞u for ̸makìng me ͠a ̶v͢i͟ct̸i̶m͡. „ ~ Westcott thanking humans for giving him a reason for revenge.

“ Ahh... so that's your question. My goal. It's for the sake of creating a new world. Maybe you have already heard this from Elliot, but we are descendents from genuine Mages unlike those artificial magicians (Wizard). At one time, by the hand of people afraid of our power, our hometown was burned down and our compatriots tortured, beaten and killed. We were peaceful but they started it. So I will rewrite this world with the neighboring world of Deus. In order to have vengeance on the human race that exterminated our innocent families. Men, women, children and infants. Every human in this reality will suffer in despair and die, be they millions of billions. Is that easy enough to convince you? According to one theory, the first two types of emotions people experience can be distinguished between pleasant and unpleasant. Through growth, human emotions become differentiated into all sort of different feelings……but no matter what, every emotion basically can be characterized as pleasant or unpleasant, people favor pleasure and dislike discomfort. Actually, the reasoning behind that is not an exaggeration. For instance, people who derive pleasure for social status tend to place more effort in work. Or people who regarded it pleasant to be loved by others tend to give more soothing offerings. My position is only slightly different from others. Nothing more, nothing less. There's nothing changed after that. I am making as much effort as possible for the sake of my curiosity and goals. ──Itsuka Shidou. Have you ever spent money looking for a toy? Have you ever tidy up your appearance before searching for love? It's no different from that. ──In that sense, I am a very ordinary person. „ ~ Westcott stating his desires in the most twisted way possible.

**Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott**, originally born as **Ike** and also simply known as **Isaac Ray Peram Westcott**, **Isaac Westcott** and later **Second Spirit of Origin** is the main antagonist of the *Date A Live* franchise and the catalyst individual to the franchise as a whole. He also served as the overarching antagonist in the games of *Compile Heart* studios and *Date A Bullet* spin-off, the overall main antagonist of the Chinese mobile game *Spirit Pledge*, the catalyst antagonist of the prequel spin-off manga *Date A Strike* and *Nia Galge* side-story and the overarching antagonist of the crossover game *Danmachi Memoria Freese - Ais Catastrophe Campaign*, becoming one of the main antagonists of *Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?* franchise under the form of **Kaguya Ray Peram Westcott**. He also appears in the Encore stories *Ellen's Strongest Day* and *Mana Mission* as a major character. Following his death in Volume 19, he becomes a posthumous antagonist in the final three volumes of the franchise's light novels, where his legacy and impact upon the world continued to haunt the heroes and humanity for countless years to come.

Regarded as one (if not the) of the most evil and the darkest Light Novel villain of all time, he was an abnormal and ruthless person yet a worldwide famous British brilliant man who worked as the founder and corrupt managing director of the largest company in the world, Deus.Ex.Machina Industries, a powerful military company that was responsible to arm all nations of the world to wage wars of aggression against the Spirits (all-female beings he created himself) and other political and military oppositions. Westcott was an intelligent, charismatic, composed and seductive man who ruled his company with a fascist iron fist and controlled almost all aspects of life inside of his company and had the entire Europe continent under his thumb. Recorded by history as the most powerful genuine magician who had ever lived, his entire life was the culmination of a half-century plan to destroy the current reality to create a new world by transforming himself into an Inverse Spirit and later in the Spirit of Origin to become a God-like figure. Westcott adopted the concept of supremacy as his aim was to unite "racially desirable" mages as comrades, while excluding those deemed either to be non-magicians and humans; including men, women, children, and infants. In his quest for genocide, he has been controlling the world's nations for 30 years, bringing waves of death and destruction across the globe with wars and terrorist attacks. His ultimate plan was not only make a world for Mages but to utterly annihilate humankind and create a new reality, a Nazi-like realm of Mages where he ruled as the supreme God for all eternity and planned to use every life form in the world as his playthings where he would torture, torment and kill everything and revive them to continue an infinite loop of eternal despair and sorrow, plunging the reality into diabolical torments to satisfy his own ego and twisted desire for pain.

Born as an innocent, altruist and kind magician, Ike was a genius of magic and was known by his village as a prodigy of his race who could probably have changed the world and the relationship between humans and magicians. After losing his pet and mother, Ike discovered he was abnormal and "sick" after he felt joy and happiness from the suffering of his family, friends and including his own. To keep his new hobby alive, he planned to get another pet just so he could watch it die and continue suffering. However, before it could happen, humans from the region (the overarching antagonists of the series) discovered his village and wiped out the last remnants of his race before burning down his village, leaving only he, Elliot Woodman and the Mathers twins alive as the last magicians of the world after centuries of persecution. Adopted by the British Westcott family, a wealthy aristocrat family of United Kingdom, Ike, now known as Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, killed his foster parents in an "accident" to keep with inheritance of his new family and spent his entire youth with his friends, creating magical formulas and forbidden rituals. Growing up as an ambitious and cruel man who took the lives of millions, Westcott is the responsible for summoning the First Spirit (Mio Takamiya) and the person who created the Spirits to use their powers for his own gain, which resulted in the First Spacequake that took the lives of 150 million people and destroyed half of China and Eurasia 30 years prior the beginning of the series. Falling in love with Mio, Westcott captured her for himself to study her powers, from his research, his new DEM Industries company, created the Realizers and raised as the most powerful and important company of the world. After the First Spirit escaped from his laboratory, Westcott let his envy take over him after he discovered Mio was saved and was living with a Japanese boy called Shinji Takamiya, who took care of her and showed how beautiful the world was. Discovering their location, Westcott kidnapped Shinji Takamiya's 9 years old sister, Mana Takamiya and shot him in front of Mio Takamiya before she disappeared with his body. It was later revealed that Mio kissed Shinji's body turning him into a light to absorbed him inside of her for his childbirth to brought him back to life and allowing him to absorb and seal Spirits' powers within him by kissing them on the lips, starting the events of the overall plot. He is also the indirect creator of the Quasi-Spirits as well as the creator Neighboring World of *Date A Bullet*.

He is voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu in the Japanese version of the anime (seasons 2-3), the latter of whom also voiced Scar in *Fullmetal Alchemist*, Dracula in *Castlevania*, Lancelot in *Fate* series, Hideyoshi Toyomi in *Sengoku Basara*, and was voiced by Alex Organ in the English dubbed version of season 2, the latter of whom also voiced the Doctor in *Black Butler*, Shogo Makishima in *Psycho-Pass*, Kishou Arima in *Tokyo Ghoul/:Re*, Shota Aizawa in *My Hero Academia*, Togusa in *Ghost in the Shell*, Damnatio Kira in *Black Clover* and Kaku in *One Piece*. In the season 3 (2019), he is voiced by Christopher Wehkamp after Alex Organ's retirement.

## Description

Isaac Westcott is the sinister director and founder of DEM Industries, a façade military company whose true goal was to assist Isaac Westcott to study the Spirits and allow their director to become an Inverse Spirit, in order to rewrite the reality.

While he often expresses his feeling of revenge towards mankind for exterminating his people, his true desires is mostly related to his abnormal behavior and obsession with negative emotions. As the most vile mage to have ever existed, Westcott was deeply obsessed with death as it causes living beings to feel despair sadness and sorrow, having found those feelings to be the most (and possibly the only) enjoyable emotion for him, whether it be inflicting despair unto others, or suffering from despair wholeheartedly. This made him extremely dangerous, as he wished to make the whole world feel his pain and suffering. As such, Westcott finds pleasure, happiness and even joy in losing important people and things he loves dearly, even going to the point to form friendships only to wait and see them dying to feel the suffering (joy) of pain.

Westcott is a creepy and sinister sadomasochist who has a abnormal mind or, in other words, a "cruel and twisted" businessman with the diabolical ambition of killing and enslaving all humans of reality and creating a new world in his image by destroying the current way of life on Earth (and maybe on the entire universe) and replace the current civilization with a nazi-like utopia where mages will rule as the master race with him as the central figure of authoritarianism and "salvation", while mankind will be persecuted, enslaved and exterminated.

Westcott is also a person who represents the very depressive side of mankind, a person who loves living in despair and depression. It was later revealed that he suffers from self-defeating personality disorder, he represents the total opposite of Shido Itsuka and Elliot Woodman, who represents life and hope, as well as altruism and humanitarianism. Isaac is a person who introduces the Hedgehog's Dilemma in the story as Westcott and his friends have different wills and dreams, which forced his fellows to struggle between themselves (mostly between Westcott and Elliot) creates a world of despair and loneliness in his mind. For him, being alive is the same as being in pain, and he do his best to make the world a proper place for his depression and sorrow.

In-Universe, while most other villainous humans qualify as Well-Intentioned Extremists because they think what they do, no matter how evil, is all to save mankind from the Spirits while displaying comedy; Isaac is a living being who has the full reasoning of what he does, and commits all of his atrocities expressly out of his own free will. Westcott was first introduced as an antagonist who loves committing all kinds of atrocities, but it was later revealed that he believes himself to be not as "bad guy" but rather as "hero" to the point of hypocrisy as he believes all humans are evil by nature and deserves to be destroyed, no matter their race or age. He often will use this excuse to find reason in his own crimes.

His goals and persona are heavily based in the real-life dictator Adolf Hitler as he wishes the total extermination of mankind through extermination and genocide of an entire race and to put his race as the masters to rule the world. His motives are also driven by feelings of revenge, much like the fascist dictator.

## Appearance

While it was unknown for a while, the very first novels implied he was around 30 years old, but it was later revealed that he is a man of 49 years old.

Westcott is a tall handsome man with smooth and long dark ash blonde/white hair, pale skin and sharp dark blue eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face. He is always wearing a black suit, with black social shoes, black social pants, and a white tie. He is known to be of British origin but speaks fluent Japanese. He is described as a very scary man by Origami.

He is described as being around 30 years old, but Origami notes that he gives off the impression of an experienced veteran. Can't rule out the possibility that Westcott is using magic to keep the youthful appearance, after all, it was said Elliot left the DEM Industries 30 years ago, and many of the characters in the series refer to him as a person with 30 years old. There is a possibility that Westcott is using technological-magic (a small piece of Magi-Tech known as Realizer) on himself to not grow old just like Elliot Baldwin Woodman is doing to stay alive due to his age.

After his fight against Woodman, Westcott had one of his arms severed in the conflict and is currently undergoing Realizer treatment to restore it, possibly giving him several scars.

## Personality

### Past Personality

Despite all his cruelty, Westcott was showed to be a person like any other and was not evil from the start.

Westcott was once a kind boy who was known for being a charismatic boy who loved to talk with other people. At one point, Westcott was shown to be gentle enough to support the weak as seen when Ellen cried in front of him for being a failure as she could not use magic like him and other children from her age. However, deep inside he was a twisted person who already had a inverse sense of ethic and a abnormal view of life and death.

At that time, Westcott was an already a genius by nature and showed great skills for magic, alchemy and occultism, because of that he was very popular among other children and would teach them to be pure and respected mages without using extreme rules used by the adults to teach magic to other children. However, despite the adults from his village were rigid to all children, he could understand their situation as they were afraid of being discovered by normal humans. Westcott was shown to be also neutral over humans, and completely understand the fact of being feared by them as humans are afraid of things they cannot comprehend, and that fear would become madness to the point of paranoia.

However, due to his superior intellect that was above from everyone's view of the world, Westcott began to grow bored of the world. When his pet died, he developed a twisted sense of ethic as he felt pleasure and joy in his own suffering. At the same time, Westcott developed a masochist sense of perspective as he enjoyed every single moment of his sorrow when he saw his mother dying in front of him. When he discovered that death "shook" his boring world, Westcott became obsessed with death as it brings all negative emotions of a living being. His obsession for losing something important was so "important" for him that he adopted a new dog just so he could wait and see it die again just like his previous one.

Because Westcott was neutral over humans, the moment a group of anti-mages faction destroyed and exterminated his comrades, caused him to think humans were cruel and evil by nature as his race offered peace many times to other human societies. According to him, humans were barbarians and should be destroyed as he recognized them as dangerous to the planet and maybe to the whole universe. Westcott, however, developed an admiration for the cruelty of humans as he saw their actions as a "beautiful" way to inflict the same despair and pain he loves. When he was adopted by a British couple, his personality changed radically, becoming a person with a great ambition, his ambitions were so strong that it lead him to kill his own parents to have all their fortune for himself to further his agenda.

When Westcott eventually gave up on the idea of being neutral towards humans, he decided to rewrite the current reality, a world without wars and conflict where mages will rule as the master race. He started to change his plans in creating a world for the mages and aimed to rewrite the human world instead. Unlike his friends who wanted to create another world where mages would live in peace, Westcott wanted to bring about the Apocalypse to kill all humans of the world and use the power of the Spirits to rewrite the human world according to his own views. In truth, Westcott was using the humans' cruelty as an excuse for the rest of his fellows to follow him in his quest for genocide, even knowing that what he was doing is basically the same.

Around the time he was adopted, he became even more arrogant and couldn't take criticism. In addition, he became even more rude to all humans around them, treating them like animals and disgusting pieces of trash. When Westcott and his friends created the Spirits, his mind got even more twisted and corrupted with the supernatural powers of the Spirits as he believed their powers are equal to a God. The moment he discovered their Sephirah Crystals, the very core of their immense powers, could be removed and transfer their powers to a normal person like himself, he lost completely his moral codes and views of life and death, becoming the ruthless man he is nowadays and could only care for himself and his plans while treating everyone around him as pawns for his dream which he consider to be for the "greater good".

### Current Personality

Through his own nature, Westcott seemed to be "sorrow" incarnate. He insistently made clear to Shido Itsuka and his enemies, however, that he did not believe himself to be evil, but simply beyond common morality. He was instinctively treacherous, betraying and killing numerous beings who trusted him as he showed no empathy for humans, a race that was under his command in DEM. Since his youth, Westcott was a natural genius and showed that he was patient, sarcastic, arrogant, vastly intelligent, and an incredible actor and cunning person as he could manipulate the entire globe according to his desire.

Westcott is an intelligent man who often addresses most of his subordinates by their surnames (except Ellen Mira Mathers whom he called her name often in a teasing tone). He is also a man who does not speak too much so he quickly tries to end conversations with less important people. He rarely shows any sign of alarm, surprise, or anguish and is always shown smiling. In normal situations, Westcott is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates those he is talking, primarily among the directors of the D.E.M that are part of the board of D.E.M except for Ellen who he has a special relationship. Westcott is also a kind of person who does not like to repeat the same thing twice, considering his words to be superior and unique among billions. Due to the power that he has over his officers and other employees on D.E.M Industries, he is very selfish and cares only about his own well-being. Isaac Westcott brutally tortures his directors and officers if they question his orders regardless of whether if they are elite soldiers or not; which is why Westcott often install Realizers in the brains of his soldiers in order to make them into "domesticated-psychopaths" so he doesn't need to worry with small rebel cells rising in DEM. Under normal circumstances, he becomes honest and thoughtful towards his subordinates (for beginners who do not know his true nature, people like Barton).

He is also a very twisted and callous man who seems to take pleasure and joy in the worst possible types of torture, such when he considered various types of cruel physical, mental, emotional, and sexual tortures to Tohka that only the most twisted of individuals could think of. The definition of Westcott is a complete and utter obsession with revenge, death, sorrow, genocide, and greed with the powers of the Spirits' Inverse Form. By his own admission, he loves all kinds of pain and despair that mankind can evoke over the world as he has a strange and bizarre fetish for despair and death, considering it to be the best emotion he can feel and inflict in other people. He clearly shows that he hates any form of pacifism and believes kindness will accomplish nothing but defeat and claims that sacrifices are necessary for the "greater good". This was later shown during Murdoch's events when he refused to kill Murdoch because he has the potential to become unfettered revolutionary; a magisterial dictator with strong ambitions. While he says "will be for humanity's greater good" the people under his command will follow Westcott blindly because of his great authority and experience as a veteran, and all of them are able to kill thousands of innocent civilians as long Isaac says this is correct. In a narrative sense, Isaac's unfettered and violent personality that is deeply inspired in revolutionary dictators of real-life like Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, serves as a counter to the easygoing, peaceful, and gentle personalities of Shido and Elliot that believes peace and equality is born from love and harmony and not from power and oppression.

He also seems to have a one-sided view on many things as he claims Elliot Woodman betrayed a vow he made with him after he left the DEM. He even asked Elliot to come back to the D.E.M and saw Elliot's actions as a childish person throwing a temper tantrum. He frequently appears to play with his underlings for amusement such as playing rude and sarcastic jokes but at times he needs to use extreme and scary jokes to put fear in some members and soldiers of the D.E.M. to keep them line as he needs his private army at all costs to fight Ratatoskr in a future war of large scale. Being the director D.E.M. Industries, Westcott controls his minions through acquiring their respect by fear and holds the most rambunctious and turbulent individuals like Roger Murdoch in line through intimidation and mind games.

Isaac is also rather merciless and uncharitable, so he reacts violently to criticism. He tends to view most problems and situations in an extremely perspicacious manner, like an academic or a professor, rather than as a manner of life or death. Believing no force in the world could challenge his authority since he is the director of the greatest corporation on Earth, he typically underestimates his foes for being pacifists and adds their kindness ends up generating in their defeat. Ultimately, Isaac could also be viewed as yet another example of a Machiavellian inspired ruler, with ruthless determination to kill everyone on his way. But unlike Machiavellian who is a tyrannical ruler, Isaac is president of a company but he is seen more like an undemocratic dictator oppressing people in the shadows. And unlike tyrants who seek for more power—Isaac plans to seek more death on humans to get his vengeance of all mankind for bringing death to his people. Many of Isaac's beliefs run consistent with nihilism, as he does not see any meaning to life, be the lives of his friends, family, subordinates, enemies and even his own. He sees his actions as a *game*, even if said *game* results in the loss of lives, his very own included.

He often says things to incite someone's temper but then says he is just kidding. Isaac enjoys irritating Ellen to a troll level, and he has a great deal of fun in being feared by other officers as well. On the outside, Isaac acts empathetic and charming, however, he keeps many secrets and tells many lies to the whole planet, such as the origin of the Spirits. He is also very strategic and shrewd and enjoys manipulating battles in order to make his own allies and enemies kill themselves. He immensely enjoys crushing the hopes of humans and watching their expressions become filled with despair as see in Tohka's inversion experiment when Tohka and Shido's love failed. Despite all his cruelty, he insistently made clear to Ratatoskr, that he is not "evil", but simply beyond common morality (like aforementioned), calling evil "the humans who oppose him" as he believes himself to be the most righteous person in the world as he has enough reasons to exterminate mankind.

He was similarly quiet bloodthirsty as well and frequently reveled in combat to the point of laughing while he fought or killed. He was also noted for his lack of forgiveness, but when something "bad" happens inside of his company that goes according to his plan, he is willing to congratulate the individuals with vacation and salary increase as if they had done something good.

At first, Westcott wanted to create a world without humans where mages will rule in peace but over the course of the years, Westcott began to take his desire for peace too far and decided he was the only one who should rule the world to guide it a new era. When he summoned the Spirits, Westcott decided to use the event to his advantage, by creating the belief that they are alien-monsters made to destroy mankind, in order to give the world an enemy to direct their hatred against. Using this threat, his company sold many weapons to all police forces and military of the world to rise against those "evil beings", turning the DEM into the most influential corporation of the world.

Westcott is also a deeply misanthropic man who tries to convince all nations that his evil deeds are justified because they are for greater good of the world, though he is an atrocious, cruel, prejudiced, sinister, vicious, and brutal businessman who uses his place in power to meet his own extreme ends, even employing mercenaries, terrorists, psychopaths and rapists like Minerva Liddell and Jessica Bailey to enforce his interpretation of humanity's will while posing them as "soldiers". This makes him feared and reviled throughout the world as shown in Japan Ground Self Defense's HQ where the military officers showed fear towards him as he is one of the most important figures of the world. Westcott is especially determined to eliminate all humans scattered everywhere after using their resources, help and all support that all nations of the world used to rise him to power, showing that in the end, no matter how useful his human minions were, he will always abandon them to die simply because they are non-mages. However, despite being a highly dangerous and violent man, he thinks himself superior and even purer than most of the people as he sees himself as the "savior" of the world while considering all humans as "monsters". Westcott has shown to be haughty and self-assuming. He has also been shown to have somewhat of a god-complex, like for example, believing that he should "destroy the world and create a new one" if the current one does not operate in the way he wants it to.

Despite his single-mindedness, Westcott's true weakness was his arrogance that leads him to many defeats at the hands of Ratatoskr, Asgard Electronics, and the Spirits. His pride over his army and Wizards lead him to believe Ratatoskr was a group of "greenhorns" that could do nothing against him as they use peaceful methods to achieve their goals. Soon, when he thought he could simply invade their base with a small squad of Bandersnatch and Wizards and win, he got severely wounded by his old friend, Elliot Baldwin Woodman, for overestimating his soldiers. However, Westcott also states he fears Elliot as he was once a powerful Wizard. During their battle, Westcott mentioned he was shaking in fear when he was about to fight Elliot in a battle where Westcott loses one of his arms. After this incident, Westcott stopped underestimating his enemies and considered them all as threats to the point of moving all his army to defeat them.

While very abusive and cruel even towards his loved ones (mostly Elliot who is his arch-enemy), Westcott is, in fact, capable of affection and love people like an ordinary person; however, this only fuels his depravity and his sadomasochism that allows him to feel joy in the pain of others and even his own. Westcott was able to show affection for people close to him but it was in fact only to get attached to them and later watch them die or suffer; only to get "aroused". This seems to apply even to his pet dog since he got another pet after his previous best friend died. It was later revealed that he only got a new pet because he wanted to love it, only to watch it die later so he could feel sorrow and sadness (joy and pleasure) from its death. Because hurting people (and even animals) close to him will cause him greater despair, he tends to deal with them in more personal ways; for instance, he personally made his last moment to be emotional just so he could see the faces of Ellen, Elliot and Karen twisted with sorrow, giving him one last moment of pain-induced pleasure.

In later volumes, it was revealed that Westcott genuinely loved his family and friends, which is why he deliberately made them survive only to back-stab them later so he could feel "happiness" and "sadness" from betraying his friends as they watched him destroying their world. The more he loves someone, the more he wants to treasure and revel in their despair, which is why he set up his own friends to experience despair by his own hand. Following the reveal of his genius nature, it can be inferred that Westcott's obsessions are ironically fueled by his great intelligent nature, predict and empathize with people around him. By a degree, his intellectual nature made him above morals and senses of ethic. He most likely understands the consequences of his actions and the exact level of suffering his plans will inflict (in his enemies and even in himself) but this only encourages him by filling his with pain over his own monstrous acts that took the lives of millions and attempted billions. As a result of this, Westcott actually manages to escape classification as a true sociopath, since they are defined by a complete inability to form emotional connections with others. As such, Westcott is not a psychopath as he is capable of love and form friendly relationships with other people despite being pure evil. And despite his twisted sense of emotional masochism and inverted point of view of life and death, he is not a mentally ill person, but, an ordinary person with a mentality superior to normal humans.

What makes Westcott unique among many other completely irredeemable villains (something that makes him much worse than *anyone else*), is his sanity and mental control. Unlike some purely evil villains, Westcott is in fact completely sane, can think rationally, knows exactly the difference between good and evil, has the ability to feel all positive and negative emotions, behave in a normal and rational manner of a civilian and has excellent mental health. The only thing that turns Westcott into a twisted man is his sadomasochism, but aside from that Westcott is purely sane and can actually think like any normal person. His sanity goes from being able to feel sorrow for loved ones, feel bad for the people he hurts, form bonds and friendship with other people born from genuine love and care, be gentle with his subordinates, forgive mistakes of his allies, be honest and straight with his friends (without hiding his true intentions behind lies), be extremely patient person, be a joyful person who can share happiness with Ellen and his friends, be caring and nice to his family, be a humble person towards strange people and is even capable of loving animals.

However, likewise, Westcott can present signs of a cruel person, being able to feel and express everything that a heartless man can. Everything that he actually has is nothing more than a "preparation" for his pain-inducing pleasure, where he will feel the ultimate joy of despair and sorrow. Losing a friend via natural circumstances is something that leaves a greater impact on his heart as it was something unexpected. He can live among society like a gentleman and civilized man but when a tragedy happens, he will feel hopeless and down, which are something that will also give him pleasure and joy from suffering mentally. Basically, every positive quality he had turned into nothing more than grace for him to finally experiences the joy and fun of losing someone (or something) he loved dearly. When he causes the death of suffering of another person, he can clearly see what he is doing is wrong but the despair and panic from his victims give him happiness via his remorse for causing mayhem and making people miserable. In a sense, Westcott can feel remorse for his actions but his remorse only leave him excited and aroused.

Using this, the author gave Westcott many redeeming moments that would cause the reader to feel sympathy for the character, which only makes him even worse as he continued to use all his sympathetic moments to drive himself into a diversion. Showing that no matter how many redeeming and lighthearted moments are given to Westcott, he will use them to play with his good emotions and convert them into cruelty and inhumanity.

At times Westcott can also be very childish. Both Ellen and Karen admit that his actions with his newly acquired Demon King resemble a mischievous kid playing with a new toy. Isaac Westcott also shows on screen that he is laughably evil at times when is played for laughs in his misfortunes with Ellen.

### "Yandere" Love for Mio

“ Westcott: Deus. Hah. What an absolute gorgeous substitution you are. Even though for me, I just want to delete Itsuka Shidou right now.

Mio: Surely, both of us will not exist in the future world as of now. Neither you, nor I.───Isn't the moment just so riped? I can deal with all the nuisances all at once.

Westcott: Hah, hah, hah! Where? Where was I always wrong? Even when I have excavated the secrets of Magic, and got my hands on the Spirit Formula. Even when I have created the Realizer. Even now, I'm holding the power of the Spirit of Origins in my hands!

Mio: From the beginning, I (Spirit) should not have been born. The same goes for the Realizer. This power, is too far beyond human capacity. But, ah───right, other than that, if this is also the cause of your misery───You, were never my favorite person. I never loved you. I hate you so much.

Westcott: Hahahahahahaha! I see, I see.... Then there is no other way. Qemetiel! „ ~ Mio rejecting Westcott's indirect confession.

Towards Mio Takamiya, his love interest, Westcott's personality is ambiguous. For the most part, he acts as a sweet, kind and kind-hearted man towards her to gain her affection. Westcott refers to her as Deus (God), a name that he himself gave to Mio thanks to her beauty and power of a true Goddess. But this masks his dark and sanguinary side—ruthless, cold and calculating, Westcott declares that his love for Mio is what made him do all the things he done; to steal her power so he can live alongside her in his new world. Despite his love for her, he is not above hurting and killing everyone she loves, confirming that he wants to be the only love in her life.

Westcott was extremely obsessed with Mio's power and beauty, and always thought about her when he had nothing better to do, always desiring to obtain her for himself. Westcott is also not above making her suffer to make her choose him by killing the people she loved. One example was when Westcott killed Shinji right in front of her, whom is considered Mio's first love, to take her for himself once again but desiring only happiness for her. While Shinji's feeling for Mio are pure love, what Westcott feels for Mio is dominance but somehow a genuine love to give her happiness while enslaving her with her own power. He claims that they are very similar in wanting something of their own, so he indirectly compares himself with her and says they are meant for each other. He also referred her as "my dearest" and "beloved Spirit" with a rather creepy tone.

When Mio rejected him for everything he did to her Westcott immediately felt as if he was being betrayed and claimed all he wants now is to delete Shido Itsuka, the boy she fell in love with. And later, when Mio confirmed she never loved or even liked him, Westcott was shocked and laughed insanely before unleashing his power and claiming if she is not going to be his lover, then she will die with him alongside the entire world. Basically, inviting her to commit a double-suicide with the rest of all life. In the end Westcott's love towards her became not a redeeming quality, but fuel to his depravity.

### As Kaguya Yamai

The Spirit Amalgam of Yamai was good (almost perfect) in imitating the original Kaguya Yamai. She was outgoing and outspoken to the point of being childish or immature. Unlike Yuzuru, she reacted violently to criticism and refused to let others tell her what to do. Kaguya often speaks rather unrealistically, as if she is acting. It is later revealed that it really is acting. Kaguya believes she needs to talk like this because she is a Spirit, and therefore "super awesome", and therefore must act appropriately.

After she shows her true colors, she showed to be a twisted and insane Spirit. She sees everything existing for her sake and inflicts betrayal purely because she loves the expression on her victim's face when their friends and family are turned against them. When Liliruca asked why she deceived her for so long, she immediately starts acting like she's the victim and feels sorry for not killing her before exposing herself to be the mastermind behind all the tragedies of the heroes' party.

Kaguya was a Spirit with a complete and utter obsession with war, genocide, despair and destruction, and even stating she sees the multiverse as her plaything to travel and destroy worlds with her heart's content. She loves sorrow in any and all of its aspects; even if she is the one suffering or having her own life at risk provokes nothing but glee and excitement.

She is so twisted that not even the Spirits, the beings that keep her alive, are safe from her. Apart from that, she is abusive to her own team and often criticizes their actions and mistakes like a spoiled child. Thus she often teases Lilirica with childish pranks and trolls her friends to see their scared face. In addition, he seems to be a rebel and doesn't really care for rules and orders, even if they come directly from the top.

## Original timeline

### Childhood

Born as "**Ike**", Isaac grew up in a town of mages who could use sorcery along with his childhood friends, Elliot Baldwin Woodman, Karen Nora Mathers and her sister Ellen Mira Mathers somewhere on the world.

When acquainted with people, it was not long before Isaac Westcott noticed the difference between himself and others. Westcott was a brilliant boy. If he were to be classified as a child prodigy or genius, than there would have been no objections. In the hidden village that inherited the blood of Magicians, his skills and excellence exceeded his contemporaries. His control over mana was even better than the adults. Only the elders and teachers of the village, and Elliot who self-appointed himself as his rival, could compete with him. Moreover, it was not just that. Linguistics, arithmetic, sports, Westcott had made extraordinary achievements in every field. However, in the end a degree of this level only served to exasperate the question. At that point yet, Westcott did not distinguish himself from others on this issue. Whatever the position, as long as they were traveling in the same road, there would come a day where others will catch up and vice versa.

But Westcott also noticed that the place where he stood was a contorted position that did not intersect with everyone else. He first noticed it when the dog raised in Westcott’s home passed away. The dog lived in his home since before Westcott was born and was a friend that had always been together with him since then. Westcott cried for his dog. Although he was still very young, he was still familiar with the concept of biological death. But above all, in Westcott’s heart, there was inexplicable excitement compared to the sadness. The sad expression of his parents, the faces of sympathetic friends, the remains of the dog that had passed away, and his own sorrow gave him a feeling of pleasure and "happiness".

Looking back at everyone around him, Westcott came to the conclusion perhaps everyone would have criticized this joy as immoral or inhumane. The reason behind his joy was not clear but he felt that the death of his dog woke up something inside him. Westcott did not allow this emotion to rise to the surface. He had the intelligence enough to know that it was a different feeling from everyone else, being prudent enough to understand the disadvantages of it being widely known.

Since the beginning of his childhood, Westcott had been taught this lesson. Just as Magicians choose to hide from humans, he decided to hide this emotion in his heart. Despite not knowing if it was fortunate or unfortunate, Westcott was skillful at manipulating his own emotions as a child. So, when Westcott told his parents that he would like to adopt a new dog after the death of his old pet, his parents quickly agreed to him. Westcott’s parents didn’t even dream that their son’s goal was not to bury the sadness of losing his old pet nor was it an attempt to find a new friend, but rather for the idea that if he raised another dog, he would get to see it die once again.

And so Westcott spent those days without being suspected by anyone. With rigorous but gentle parents, respectable teachers, and fellow students who shared his enthusiasm, under all of these conditions, he grew up. But just as he was ten years old, another misfortunate event struck. His mother, whom always had a weak body, suffered from a lung disease and passed away. Although he lived in a village of magic beyond human sensibility, it was impossible to resurrect the dead. The villagers mourned for her passing as they offered their condolences. They held compassion to Westcott’s father, who had lost his partner at a young age. And when standing by the side of his father, who was trying to hold back his tears, they assumed Westcott was dealt a similar blow to his heart. The death of the mother who gave birth and raised him gave Westcott an unparalleled sense of loss. However, at the same time, what Westcott remembered most was the first time experiencing the supreme sense of intoxication over the loss of human life. If he wasn’t careful, tears would leak out from his eyes. Surely his father and the other villagers thought he was filled with sorrow and despair.

As Westcott watched his mother being buried, he felt a supreme sense of pleasure for the first time in his life.

### Genocide

1 year later, Isaac Westcott, who was a 10-year-old child at the time, was looking for Ellen and Elliot and found them in a mountain where Elliot was teaching Ellen magic arts. Elliot revealed to Isaac that unlike her sister, Karen Nora Mathers, who was a talented magician, she can’t succeed in anything and that made Ellen cry as Isaac and Elliot felt sorry for her and the future genocidal tyrant stroked Ellen’s head. In return, Isaac said he was going to help Ellen in her magic training. Isaac then questioned Elliot if their teacher was going to get mad at him again for using magic so visible (as the existence of mages are a secret of mankind). When Elliot wondered why humans fear magic so much, Westcott said that it was only natural to humans fear their power as fear creates madness and madness breeds conflict.

Months later, a group of normal people (humans) who feared the power of mages burned down their village and the few who managed to escape from their houses were gunned down or carbonized alive by the invaders. As Elliot, Karen and Ellen cried over seeing their families and friends being killed from distance, there was a boy who looked down upon the burning village without too much dismay. Ike, even with the hot winds against his face, stared at the village that had fallen into ruin, gazing intensely as his fellow compatriots were being shot dead. Although Elliot could not understand what Ike was thinking at the time as his face was illuminated by the fire, Elliot felt something resembling an uneasy sensation coming from him on that day. While the others survivors were feeling fury, sorrow and despair Westcott was the only one who felt joy, a kind of joy he never experienced before.

At that moment, he understood that he was different from others. He knew that his sense of self was abnormal. It was because of this that Westcott concealed these urges, thereby protecting himself from being isolated from the rest of the community. Although he had the temperament for finding joy in despair, he did not actively seek it. Despite keeping a dog in hopes for death, he didn’t think of killing it with his own hands. Instead, he loves when tragic incidents happens to him and everyone around him, confirming his psychological masoquism. In Westcott's mind, losing something and the despair caused by it is the ultimate sense of happiness that people can feel.

As Westcott watched the destruction of his village he changed his view of the world as humans had shown their fangs to Magicians. While burning with feelings of vengeance and joy, Westcott saw the opportunity to make everyone embrace his pain as he had nothing holding him back. While seeing humans killing his race, Westcott found it to be beautiful as inflicting despair and sorrow into people's heart is more pleasent than waiting for them lose something or someone. With this in mind, Westcott used this chance to declare war to the human race while hiding his true twisted sadistic tendencies of watching mankind losing everything.

In hindsight, this was the oldest memory of the foundations that would lead to the beginning of DEM Industries. After that, ten years had passed. Elliot and the others had been buried under the research of magic. Of course, the world wasn’t simple enough for children of about ten years of age to live alone. Westcott and his friends thought it was necessary to rely on foster care during the first few years. Westcott and his friends were sent to an orphanage and lived there for a while. However, it didn’t take long for Westcott, who was a brilliant young boy with many talents, to win the fancy of a wealthy British elderly couple from Westcott Family. It also didn’t take long for the old couple to pass away due to an "unfortunate accident". Indeed, as soon as Ike obtained enough assets through covert means, he invited Elliot and the others to his home. For as much as time would allow, they obtained a taste of the mystery: Theosophy. Occultism, Alchemy, and the Kabbalah. From the falsifications made public to “humans”, they carefully uncovered the genuine article.

### First Spacequake

Years later, in the central part of the Eurasia continent, the three figures stood amidst the open wilderness. Ike, Elliot, Ellen. The three magicians who had grown up to be beyond recognition from that time had come to gather here.

When Ike ordered Karen to start the operation, Karen’s voice could be heard from the observatory through the communication device. At the same time, the device designed to draw out the circle--the magical furnace began to start up while growling out a low howl. From the skies, from the earth, from the air. The energy that resides in every substance in the world turned into dazzling light, swirling and coiling around the surroundings. Gathering all of the mana present in the world to a single focal point, thus creating a new life. By incorporating that power, Elliot and the others, who up until now could only tinker with a tiny amount mana through spells and books, could become all power wizards found in fantasy worlds.

As they were about to start, Westcott said that an universal space that should only exist in humanity’s imagination is being changed into reality. If his calculations are correct, the space of the Spirit being born is to the extent of covering the entire earth and claimed the scale is enough to be called another world--the neighboring world. Like a god wannabe, Westcott then declared this is their world and are going to overwrite their world with the neighboring world. During this time, Elliot noticed Ike’s face as he was describing their hope looked the same as the face that he had displayed on that day when he watched his village being destroyed by humans. However, the summoning ritual of the First Spirit also caused the first spacequake, which destroyed a large portion of Eurasia and killed 150 million people. However, Westcott, Woodman and Ellen protected themselves by using defensive barriers made using sorcery. Afterwards, seeing the destruction that he had caused, Westcott simply laughed manically as he witnessed the destruction. A few minutes later, Isaac and his friends finally put his eyes upon their new creation, the First Spirit.

Later, his company captured the First Spirit and used her in nazi-like experiments to study her energy. For years, Westcott kept the First Spirit under an underground laboratory where she suffered brutal human experiments by the hands of DEM scientists. Because of DEM's human experiments, the First Spirit grew up as a mature woman with the mentallity of an infant. Due to Westcott's abuses, the Spirit could not speak correctly or even think rationally as a normal person and the only thing she had as experience in her life time were painful human experiments where parts of her soul were extracted and turned into military weapons, as well as scientific human tests which she was forced to suffer physical and psychological abuses, all in order to extract her Spirit Mana that lead to creation of technologies that helped DEM Industries to rise as one of the most powerful corporations of the world. In the following years, the DEM created the Realizer and was able to rebuild the nations they destroyed, making their way to glory, fame and power.

At some point, Westcott fell in love with Mio and desired to keep her forever.

### Destroying Takamiya Family

Following the first spacequake, DEM Industries became a huge company since their Realizers, which Westcott seems to have invented, helped with the reconstruction of the world that he destroyed. However, the Spirit he, Woodman and Ellen created managed to escape from them and ended up causing smaller spacequakes around the world for six months killing more millions in the process before suddenly disappearing.

However, one day after causing a spacequake, she was approached by a boy named Shinji Takamiya, who gave the naked girl his jacket and decided to bring her home with him. Upon arriving in his room, however, Shinji's sister, Mana, entered and immediately demanded an explanation as to why her brother was with a half-naked girl. Shinji tried to explain the situation, but just then the First Spirit sneezed. Mana was about to leave for her room to get her some clothes, only for her to use her powers to make her own clothes by copying Mana's school uniform. While living with Shinji and Mana, the First Spirit quickly started to gain knowledge of the real world by reading books, following the radio and watching tv and cassettes. As a result, her vocabulary quickly rose from the level of a baby to being able to perfectly speak Japanese. Shinji decided to give her the name Mio Takamiya, after the day he met her; the 30th. Upon receiving this name, Mio was so overjoyed that she cried. One time, Shinji took Mio around town and told her about everything that caught her attention. They went to an arcade where Shinji won Mio a bear plushy in a crane game. This is where Shinji told her about the feeling of 'like', causing Mio to boldly state that she liked him.

At some point, however, DEM discovered Mio's location, now going by the name Mio Takamiya, forcing her to go on the run with Shinji when they were on a date to teach her more things of the world. While running, Woodman appeared before them and blocked their path. However, he allowed them to pass after asking Mio if she is happy being with Shinji and she told him that she is. Elliot then decided he will defect DEM and help them to escape as he was disgusted with Isaac's crimes and vowed his love for Mio, thus confessing his feelings. Just as Ellen was about to capture Mio, Elliot blocked her attack and fought Ellen while claiming he changed sides, this left Ellen enraged and called him 'traitor'.

As Ellen and Elliot were fighting, Mio and Shinji escaped but they were soon confronted by Westcott himself and dozens of other armed mercenaries, who revealed that he had abducted Mana but was willing to trade her for Mio. Shinji, knowing he was lying and planned to kill both siblings anyway, he tried to run with Mio, but he was shot in the chest by Westcott using a gun, killing him in the process in front of Mio, who fell in despair and sorrow. This, however, caused Mio's powers to manifest in an act of rage, allowing her to escape with Shinji as Westcott watched in surprise. After successfully getting away, she used her powers to heal Shinji's wounds. However, no matter what she did, he wouldn't regain consciousness. This caused Mio to cry, finally realizing how much Shinji meant to her.

After thinking for a long time, Mio finally managed to come up with a plan to save Shinji. She then kissed Shinji, causing him to turn into light and be absorbed into her. Her plan was to recreate Shinji by nurturing him in her womb before giving birth to him. Her plan was to entrust him with her power so that he could become her eternal lover. Since the body of a normal human is frail to accept all her power at once, Mio only gave Shinji the power to take in the Spirit's power. Then, she divided her power, planting them like seeds into young girls in order for Shinji to gradually take their powers one by one. However, humans were not compatible with the Qlipha Crystals she created, causing them to turn into monsters and go berserk. Therefore, Mio decided to reverse their properties, turning them into Sephira Crystals to make them more compatible. To do so, Mio continuously had the Qlipha Crystals bond with humans, turn them into monsters and finally kill them in order to slowly purify them. Around this time, Mio successfully gave birth to Shinji, and left him to be adopted by the Itsuka family.

After DEM kidnapped Mana Takamiya, Shinji's pre-teen sister, Westcott turned her into a Wizard by doing horrible experiments in her body. Westcott's action resulted in remaining her lifespan to about ten years. Not long after that, Isaac installed a Realizer in her brain to block her memories about her past, resulting in amnesia. Soon after, Westcott filled Mana's mind with lies saying that she was abandoned by her parents, and he was the person who gave her a home on DEM. Since then, Mana was trained by DEM to become the Adeptus 2, the second strongest Wizard in the world right after Ellen Mira Mathers.

Westcott later started his own military campaign by selling weapons and technologies to all military and police forces of the world but keeping his best creations to DEM itself. When DEM discovered that Mio was creating more Spirits like her by turning humans in Spirits, or for better words, "monsters", using the Sephira Crystals to purify them, Westcott immediately put the entire world against the Spirits, whom were normal humans before, but were forced to become part of such race he created. With this, the entire world was against the Spirits and all military forces founded their own secret-battallions, people who can use sorcery made by man; Wizards, to fight them as Westcott and DEM declared that Spirits are a threat to humanity's existence. In the following years, dozens of Spirits were killed by the Anti Spirit squads around the world, becoming Quasi-Spirits or into monsters that went on a rampage, killing thousands.

Around this time, Westcott also had his own mercenary squad of Wizards who were brainwashed by his Realizers and forced them to join his cause like fanatical-brutals-psychotics soldiers and committed the worst war crimes in his name without questioning the nature of their mission.

### Nia Honjou

1 decade later, a human girl named Nia Honjou mysteriously became a Spirit. While at first causing spacequakes like the other Spirits, at some point Nia was able to reintegrate herself with society. However, curious about where she came from, she used her angel and found about her former life. Following this, Nia started to use Rasiel to find information on everyone she encountered. As a result, she discovered the dark side of humanity, causing her to believe she could never trust anyone. Because of this Nia fell in love with the 2D world of manga and video games, since the characters in there could never harbor negative feelings towards her. However, she still wanted to live in society so contact with others was unavoidable. As a result, Nia started to treat others as if they were just characters in a video game, communicating with them but having no real interest in them as people.

Around 10 years ago, she was able to get a job as a manga artist under the pen name of "Souji Honjou". The Manga written by her, "Silver Bullet", ended up becoming a hit. However, 5 years after she became a manga artist, Isaac and his company discovered her existence and sent Ellen Mira Mathers to capture her. Ellen managed to defeat Nia and capture her alive by catching her by surprise through a sneak attack. The fans of her manga diacovered that she had disappeared and it was believed to be because of an argument between her with her editor. While in DEM's captivity, Westcott and Ellen put Nia through horrible physical, psychological and sexual torture, such as cutting her belly while alive, opening her skull, her hands and legs got cut by a millimeters after another to make her go into her Inverse Form. However, no matter what they did she did not Inverted, however, the brutal torture sections continued 24/7 for the next 5 years.

At that time, Isaac has invested his money from DEM in creation of weapons and military hardware for the entire planet in order to maintain a false hope for human race that humanity has salvation in exterminating the Spirits, the cosmic beings that threatened life on Earth.

### Ashcroft Project

Later, Isaac had put all forces of his company in looking Spirits' radiation on the Earth. A girl named Artemisia Bell Ashcroft from Special Sorcery Service, saw the efforts that the DEM was doing to find the Spirits, and save mankind. Artemisia offered her own body to Isaac's company to create a new weapon for humanity to help to kill the Spirits and save Human race. Taking Artemisia in hands, Isaac put Edgar F. Caroll as leader of the new project that would bear fruit for Westcott's plans in the future; which the project called *Ashcroft Project* that would be carried out in extracting Artemisia's mental forces and turning her memories into a deadly weapon. However, Edgar used this opportunity to betray Westcott and remove someone malefico like him from DEM command and take the post of DEM Managing Director to himself. However, Edgar's plan was failed by the treason of Minerva Liddell.

When Isaac realized Edgar's treason he ordered Ellen to cut his head off and ruthless killed all other officers who served in Edgar research team. Soon after Artemisia was free from DEM, she was captured again (it's heavily implied that Cecil O'Brien, Ashley Sinclair, Leonora Sears, three of Artemisia's best friends who put their lives in risky to save her from DEM were killed by Westcott and DEM for interrupting their plans) and Isaac brainwashed Artemisia by rewrite her memories and turning her into a sociopath killer to serve him as a "reserve Wizard" in a near future. Since then, Westcott has hidden Artemisia from SSS after putting her in coma.

### Yard

Months later, ​​Isaac Westcott received a call from the police of London asking for his help to stop a mass assault on a bank. The criminal organization Yard was attacking a bank with more than 100 people hostage. In response to the request, Westcott requested the presence of the Adeptus 1, 2 & 3 (Ellen Mira Mathers, Mana Takamiya and Jessica Bailey) who were currently in London before the spacequakes mysteriously begin in Tenguu City. However, only Jessica and Ellen were present at Westcott's office.

He explained the current situation of the crime, he mentioned that the assault was being led by Charllote Meyers along with two other former Wizards of SSS, that were Daisy and Izabell, the trio were punished and expelled from the SSS for abusing of magical power that were given to them. After they had been expelled from SSS, they became Wizards of the criminal organization, Yard. After Westcott explained the situation to Jessica and Ellen he asked where Mana was at that moment. Ellen mentioned that Mana was going to the bank before she left the building of D.E.M. Later, Westcott received the call from the bank and the corporation blamed him for letting Mana Takamiya destroy the bank during the process. In response to this, Isaac punished Mana by making her pay the damage she caused to the bank by using her own salary.

### Starting the Conflict

Months later, Isaac and his company noticed a large number of apparitions of Spirits in Tenguu City, Japan. He decided to sent Mana Takamiya to kill the Spirit that had killed 10,000 people, Kurumi Tokisaki and was planning to capture some of these Spirits as well.

Days later, Mana was defeated by Kurumi and she was in coma for a while. When JGSDF contacted DEM to send support, Westcott sent one of his greatest failures, White Licorice to give assistance to AST against the Spirits appearing one after another. The White Licorice was a powerful CR-Unit made to heavy combat, however, it was one of DEM's greatest failures as it was a CR-Unit that took the lives of dozens of Wizards from DEM who dared to wear it, implying Westcott sent a failed machine to his "allies" even knowing that all people who will wear it will die by having their brains crushed by the magic energy.

In the next days, White Licorice was stolen by Origami Tobiichi who used it to attack Kotori Itsuka for thinking she was the Spirit who killed her parents when she was a kid. However, the assassination was foiled by Shido who begged her to stop. Before Origami could think about his decision, she lost all of her strength and lost her consciouness.

After reading Origami's report, Westcott showed interest in Origami and thought that she could be useful for him as she was a strong Wizard able to use White Licorice when using it would kill most of the Wizards who dared to pilot it. He then made his way to Japan to free her from her punishment; expulsion of the armed forces and sentenced to life in prison.

### Arrival in Japan

Westcott made his first appearance at JGSDF base, intervening their decision on Origami's punishment. He tells the officials that he heard that an AST member was able to successfully pilot the White Licorice. When he heard that General Kiritani was planning on forbidding Origami from ever using a Realizer again, he uses his connections with the Minister of Defense, Saeki, to change Origami's punishment to a two month house arrest.

After the meeting, he then gives Origami a card with DEM's contact information, telling her that they would assist her if she ever needs help fighting the Spirits. Despite the aid he gave, Origami remained cautious, feeling something like fear from the man that passed by her a moment ago.

After leaving, he tells Ellen that everyone in the meeting were idiots that did not see how grave that matter was, viewing them as all incompetent fools who were weird enough to put the blame on a genius that is 1 in 10,000. Then, he states that if General Kiritani changes his mind, he should probably invite Origami into his own company, as it is regretful to give up someone who could pilot the White Licorice. He adds that with a magic treatment performed on Origami, she could become a Wizard comparable to Mana or Artemisia.

Ellen informs him that they received a report about a girl that looks identical to the Spirit Princess had transferred into Raizen High School right after the Princess disappeared. Intrigued, he asks what was JGDSF’s action towards this matter. After being told that they only used the low accuracy vehicle type DS-06 to classify her as a normal person, he tells Ellen that a peace-loving idiot is much scarier than anyone with dementia. Deciding to take the matter in his own hands, he asks Ellen if her body is rusty from the lack of fighting with Spirits. As Ellen reaffirms that she will never lose to any opponent, Westcott gives off an ominous smile and manipulates an event where the students of Raizen High School will go in a trip to Irubi Island to take them out of civilization and start their operation in capturing Tohka without having to worry to get rid of witness.

### Irubi Island's Incident

After the Arbatel got destroyed by Yamai in Irubi Island, Ellen confirmed that Princess, was the Spirit that had disappeared on Tenguu City 3 months ago before their arrival. After Ellen confirmed the location of Tohka, she asked to Westcott if there exists a human capable of possessing the powers of the Spirits. After she said that Westcott became interested in Shido Itsuka and requested more informations about what happened in Irubi Island. But much to Ellen's shock, Westcott was not worried with his men and spaceship. After that, Westcott ordered Ellen to return to base and considered the mission a success despite all losses.

Although Westcott had one of his spacecraft destroyed by Ratatoskr, he completely ignored what happened to his soldiers; the Arbatel Pilots, and did not even requested a ransom to his soldiers who died in the crash of Arbatel. When Ellen considered in saving the crew of Arbatel, he simply answered to let them die or be captured by Ratatoskr. However, it was all part of his plan, with the purpose of leaving some of the survivors being captured by Ratatoskr to have a direct conversation with them. He then revealed he installed a Realizer inside of the brains of all his soldiers before dispatching them to the mission, and once they had outlived their usefulness he would explode the heads of all his men.

### Westcott Gives Ellen a Day-off

In the side story of Encore 2 which is set after the Irubi Island events, Westcott is inside of DEM HQ in Japan speaking with Ellen about the recent battle with Ratatoskr but soon he changed the matter and said to Ellen, his secretery, to take a day out of work. When Ellen asked the reason of why someone like him would give her a day off, much to her surprise, Westcott answer they were going to have a meeting with other DEM executives but soon the meeting was cancelled and there was nothing to do. Ellen then decides to follow his orders and took a day out of DEM.

Westcott later is seem considering taking a day out of work in the beach but his business in DEM are more important.

However, Ellen's Greatest Day was ruined by three girls known as Ai, Mii and Mai, three students from Raizen High School who became her nightmare after ruining her mission in Irubi Island. On monday, Ellen arrives at Westcott's office and is asked how was her Sunday as she late to work and add there was no need for her to scary most of his workers and officers. She answers saying it was the "best day of her life" but mentions that she hates Monday and much as her secretary's work. Hearing that, Westcott takes a chance to let her more angry and plays a joke. Westcott then says it was "Ellen's Greatest Day" as she looked like a furious beast and mentions how he loved to see her "cute expressions".

### Inversion

After the battle on Irubi Island, he appeared on the top floor of one of the most luxurious hotels of Tenguu, where he was reading documents created by Ellen, that talked about everything that was known about the Shido Itsuka and the sealed Spirits during the events at Irubi Island. When Westcott was informed that Ratatoskr was involved in the conflict of Irubi Island, he immediately decided to give them a "hell of greeting". Later, he sent Adeptus 3, Jessica Bailey, and small squadron of Wizard consisting of 10 soldiers of D.E.M corporation, the DEM Industry Alpha Team of Japan Branch, to AST HQ in Tenguu City, where they would reinforce the Japanese organization due to continuous failures of AST in capture or kill an Spirit.

No longer after, Isaac sent Jessica and her Elite Squad to capture Tohka Yatogami at Tenou Event (an educational festival which brought together several schools and thousand of students) and to kill as many innocent as possible since DEM Industries' private army needs to be in secret of the public an to prevent the society from discovering the existence of the top-secret super soldiers, Wizards. In truth, the main reason behind of that was to send a "slap" on the face of Ratatoskr for interrupting his plans. However, Westcott's plan failed when Origami and Mana defeated Jessica's forces and left her disabled. Nevertheless, Isaac also sent Ellen if there was some interference of Ratatoskr as a backup plan.

Ellen captures Tohka and takes her to the building of the D.E.M Industries' Japanese Branch. Later, when Westcott is informed about Shido's disappearance he ordered DEM to search for him as Ellen stated he would be there in a few days.

After Tohka was imprisioned in a salon for hours, Westcott entered the room while Ellen asked some questions to Tohka (played for comedy). Tohka felt a feeling discomfort and felt temperature had dropped several degrees just when she saw him. He performed himself to Tohka in a formal way, but he couldn't hide his sadistic personality for too long after he told her his plans in destroying the mechanics of the reality. He tried to think in ways of how to torture her mentally, physically and sexual in order to make her go in her "original form". But when Westcott said about killing a loved in front of her, she reacted immediatally. Westcott noticed her reactions and asked to Ellen about her "loved one" and realized that her loved one was Shido Itsuka, and the best mode to mentally torture Tohka and make her go in Inverse was to kill Shido in front of her. Hearing that, he decided to wait for him as he knew Shido was going to save her at some point.

After he found out that Shido had joined forces with Kurumi to save Tohka, Westcott triggered the spacequake alarm to all civilians to enter in government shelters in order to decrease witness. Then, Westcott sent thousand of his troops to kill Kurumi and bring Shido to him who was fighting outside of the building. Kurumi decided to play his game and summoned tens thousand of her clones to fight against the troops of Westcott as Shido made his way through DEM's defenses. And then a conflict between DEM and Spirits had started.

### Despair Event Horizon

Some hours later, Westcott asks Ellen, who was fighting outside, to come return to the DEM building as everything happened according to the plan. When Shido and Miku arrive to the isolation room, they are greeted by Westcott (in the light novel, he is seated in a chair in the darkness while in the anime he leaves from the wall), who congratulates Miku and asks Shido who he is when he noticed his face. Westcott then starts laughing and saying that all this time, things were in the palm of that woman's hand (the reason behind his surprise was that Shido is the boy that he murdered years ago when he tried to run away with Mio).

After provoking Shido in a joke, he releases Tohka while saying that he's not as strong as Ellen. When Shido asks Miku to brainwash Westcott to make him open the cage, he tells Shido that he'll be in danger if he stands there while exposing an evil sadistic grin. Shido is then impaled by Ellen. Then, Westcott tells Tohka that she may use anything to stop Ellen, and if her powers are not enough, she can reach even further.

Watching her loved one about to be killed, Tohka tried to break the glass with all her strength but that was not enough. The despair causes Tohka to Inverse as she lost her self in the darkness of her mind, and thus Westcott tells the world that the Kingdom has inverted, and that they should welcome the arrival of the Demon King.

When Tohka is fully Inverted, Westcott tells Ellen that this is the first time he's seen such a perfect Inversion, and that this is their dream. Then, he asks Ellen to defeat Dark Tohka by bringing her head to him and begin the path to their goal. During their fight, Tohka points her sword at Westcott, but Ellen protects him but was severely damaged. Then, he asks her about her opinion on Tohka. Ellen says that she's very powerful, and she won't be able to beat her with her current wound caused by Origami Tobiichi. Westcott says that they'll retreat, adding that this Inversion was a great achievement, and that he even saw an unexpected face; Shido Itsuka. As he and Ellen are leaving, he bids farewell to Shido by calling him accidentally "Takamiya" (his old name before he was murdered by the latter) in the process. However, he quickly corrects himself and says that he doesn't know anything about Shido "Itsuka" as he disappeared with Ellen, leaving all his Wizard and troops behind to meet their doom at the hands of an Inverse Tohka.

### DEM Civil War

At the DEM headquarters in Great Britain, the board members are reviewing Westcott's actions in Japan, which caused the deaths of several Wizards and the partial destruction of the office district, among other things. One of the board members, Roger Murdoch, asks Westcott what was he thinking back then. However, Westcott replies that everything was worth it, since they successfully inversed Princess. Murdoch claims that Spirits won't save DEM's future, and asks for a vote to remove Westcott as DEM's Managing Director.

When the Chairman Russel asks if it was right to demand a petition to remove Westcott from his MD post, the latter says that this is alright, since the board members have that privilege, even if he is the original founder of the company. However, it can be said Murdoch was only planning to take over Westcott's post.

When the chairman Russell counted how many raised hands there were, he says that there were none. This is because Ellen cut off their arms, since she considered this an offense to Isaac. However, Westcott says that they simply used the authority given to them. He also adds that their arms will be back to normal if they treat them with Medical Realizers, and that he'll give the company to all of them, once he finishes his "fun and self-gratification", which will happen soon compared to his 30 years of long waiting and planning to fulfill his dearest-wish to rewrite the world and end humanity.

Some time later, Elliot Woodman and Karen paid a visit to James Paddington, who was bein' held as a prisoner by Ratatoskr. At first, Paddington didn't move, but then his body was used as a human-speaker by Westcott who was controlling his body with a Realizer. The D.E.M seem to did something to James' body or mind because he was not psychologically stable while being captured, merely acting like a zombie for most of the time. Westcott tried to bring Elliot Woodman back to his side as said Ellen would please if he did so. However, Elliot Woodman refused to return to his side, instead he said he would do everything to stop Isaac and the DEM Industries. Instead of calling Westcott "Ike", Elliot called Westcott's full name in a righteous rage. In Elliot's eye, Isaac is no longer a friend, but merely a *fiend* with no hope of salvation. After that, Isaac Westcott left the Realizer inside James' body while saying he will show no mercy next time they meet. In the process, Westcott killed James by exploding his internal organs and ending the life of his subordinate.

After that, at the DEM HQ, Westcott tells Ellen that Murdoch was right, and the loss of Mana Takamiya and Jessica Bailey will be a huge problem for targeting Spirits. The fact that he lost two of his most powerful Wizards would be a problem for DEM in the future, mainly when the final battle between Ratatoskr and DEM is going to happen soon enough. Ellen, however, says it's difficulty to find human soldier from the world's army that could become a good Adeptus agent to replace Jessica and Mana besides from Artemisia Bell Ashcroft who was is coma at the time. However, Westcott suggests the young Wizard who inflicted a wound on Ellen's body during the battle of Tenguu City, Origami Tobiichi, who is an outstanding girl who had potential to become the new Adeptus 2, much to Ellen's dismay.

### "Westcott Wants You For D.E.M Army!"

Taking place a few months after the battle of Tenguu City, Westcott and his secretary, Ellen Mira Mathers, received a huge blow from Ratatoskr after the battle. Noticing that hundreds of his Wizards were killed by Dark Tohka during the battle (curiously, it was him who discarded them), Westcott and the DEM army began a miltiary campaign to recruit more Wizards around the globe to replace the ones he lost.

Days later, Westcott had his men opening selective training at the DEM facilities from the world. And by "coincidence", he put Ellen in the Japanese branch to supervise Origami Tobiichi. There, Ellen personally called the Japanese AST and a few recruits of DEM to test their abilities so they might replace the lost Adeptus killed in the previous battles.

Under Westcott's commands, he made dozens of Wizards fight in a simulator that could bring them to a near-state of death, resulting in many DEM and AST Wizards injured. However, it turns out that Mikie, the protagonist, survived and fought Ellen but was almost killed many times. It was only then that Ryouko Kusakabe noticed that DEM was actually trying to humiliate AST for having less-powerful weapons and mainly for being Japanese.

After many competitions, Ellen and Mikie had their final battle in the pool, where the latter cheated (installing a mini-engine in her swimming board) to win just so she could get have her revenge on Ellen. Later, Ellen lost the poll battle and fall in tears and humiliation while Westcott could be heard laughing at Ellen on the speakers.

### Returning to Japan

Months passed after the battle that Isaac Westcott causedin Tenguu City was over, and as a result, the activities of DEM Industries stopped on Japan for a few months due to destruction caused by DEM forces and the Spirits, however, this did not prevent him to back again to Tenguu City, Japan.

Isaac Westcott traveled of the British Heathrow airport to reach Japan's Narita airport. The trip took three hours while Isaac Westcott again returned to Japan in private jet. Isaac Westcott made a great aura of darkness and fear wherever he went, but that did not stop people to show respect to Isaac Westcott, the most authoritative and influential businessman of the world. When Isaac Westcott arrived at Japan's Narita airport, he directly went to Japan’s Tokyo metropolitan Tenguu city’s hotel. While Isaac Westcott was in luxury car going to Tenguu City, he told Ellen that they should create a residence in Japan since they were more concentrated in this area and to avoid unnecessary travel and his secretary praised him for leaving his throne in United Kingdom but Westcott answered that he will be embarassed if she praise him like that, acting like a tsundere girl for the most of time. Isaac Westcott vented with Ellen about what happened over the last days, especially when the DEM Board of Member voted to remove him from the post of Managing Director, and he even showed his nihilism.

Isaac Westcott then is informed of the Spirits who were around Shido, and he realized that the Ratatoskr was associated with everything that was happening around Shido. After this, Isaac Westcott manipulated the happy moments of Shido and other Spirits, and said he would let Shido and the Spirits deepen their trusts even more their to finally kill Shido once for all and make all Spirits into their Inverse Forms. During the process of research, Isaac said there was someone manipulating everything that was happening so far and implied it was probably *that woman*, Phantom.

Days later after his arrival in Japan, Westcott ordered Ellen and Wizards squad to capture Natsumi in order to make her go in Inverse Form by torturing her. Some time later, Natsumi is thinking about other pranks to pull on Shido, but Ellen and other Wizards find her. They engage into a fight. After Natsumi uses Haniel several times on the Wizards, they end up becoming children. Ellen decides that she can't waste any more time and attacks Natsumi with her laser blade, causing her to release her powers, and the Wizards go back to normal. When Ellen is about to cut off Natsumi's limbs, Shido and the Spirits arrive to save Natsumi. Despite this, Ellen still has the upper hand, so Shido and the girls teleport with Natsumi to Fraxinus.

After the fight, several agents of DEM try to ambush Origami, since her disciplinary punishment has been decided. At the same time, she receives a call from Ellen, who asks her to join DEM under the request of Westcott himself. Origami refuses at first, but Ellen claims that they won't hurt Shido in the mean time, and that she could have access to special Realizers and information on the Spirit that killed her parents. Origami accepts the offer, Ellen attacks the group of men, and she welcomes Origami into DEM Industries. After Natsumi escapes from Ratatoskr, Shido looks for her in his house, only to find Ellen there, sitting on a sofa. When he tries to call Kotori, Ellen takes his phone, saying that the whole house is under her Territory. She also wants to ask Shido where is Natsumi as she had orders coming from Isaac Westcott. He refuses, and Ellen tells him that the peaceful days he has with the Spirits is only because DEM allows it. In exchange for Natsumi, Ellen will let him and the other Spirits live. Shido still refuses, and Ellen takes out her sword. When she threatens to cut his ear off, Shido's phone rings, and he takes to chance to run away, since Ellen is distracted. However, she redeploys her Territory once again. This time, she receives a call from headquarters, and leaves before saying that Shido is a lucky person.

While she's out on the street, she explains the situation to a subordinate. An artificial satellite is falling on Tengu city, and it's aiming at Westcott. Apparently, the board directors are trying to seize power by killing Westcott. Ellen felt regret for not chopping off their heads instead of their arms. She gives the subordinate orders to evacuate and to retrieve any Sephira Crystal that may be left behind.

When Ellen finds out that there's an artificial satellite falling on Tengu city to assassinate Westcott, she goes to the hotel so that they can evacuate. However, he is far from worried. He even claims that he must praise Murdoch on his attempt, and that Woodman's organization won't let Shido and the Spirits die. However, he decides to take some counter measures, since Ellen insisted. He thinks it's a good chance to test the Mordred CR-Unit, so he dispatches Origami to do the job.

### GOETIA

Days after the attempted assassination of Westcott, Isaac realized that Murdoch was responsible for the assassination. However, instead of killing him, he simply ordered to arrest Murdoch and the rest of the DEM Council that helped in the conspiracy. After Ellen show her dissatisfaction to Westcott's personality in showing mercy, he mentions to Ellen that he would help Origami to kill the Spirits or make her catch one of them, and let Origami do whatever she wanted; resulting in Shido being kidnapped.

Ellen asks Westcott if it's alright to let Origami act on her own judgment. To this, he says that he doesn't mind, since he wants Mordred's battle data and, if Origami is successful, he will put his hands in one or two Sephira Crystals. However, he also says that the bribe needed for the JGSDF became larger than usual. When Ellen looks unsatisfied, Westcott tells her that he has a different target for her: she'll use the airship Goetia to stop any support from Ratatoskr.

A while later, when Kotori decides to use Fraxinus to rescue Tohka, Kaguya, Yuzuru and Miku from Natsumi, the ship is attacked by Goetia. Ellen communicates with Kotori, and after telling her that her age or looks don't affect her personal abilities, she voices two requests. First: everyone in Fraxinus has three minutes to evacuate the ship. Second: the escaped survivors will give Woodman a message from Ellen, saying that she's coming for him. Then, a huge battle ensues between both airships and, after Ratatoskr believed they had won, Goetia fires at Fraxinus, greatly damaging it and killing most of Ratatoskr's combatents and non-combatents officers.

After the fight and some other missions, Ellen returns to Westcott. While he congratulates her, she regrets the fact that Goetia got hit once, and claims that Ratatoskr has an outstanding crew. After this, they talk about Origami, who became a Spirit recently. While she was an amazing Wizard, they are still going to target her. Westcott then orders Ellen to go after Origami, completely ignoring the fact she was once his ally. Once Inverse Origami appears, Shido and the others try to get to her, but they are attacked by Ellen, who claims that they can't hurt an Inverse type and added that Isaac wanted her alive no matter what. However, Kaguya and Yuzuru manage to distract her, giving Shido enough time to reach Origami.

Kurumi shows up and messes with him for a bit before telling Shido that there is no salvation for Origami now. Kurumi says she does what needs to be done and summons her angel. Shidou tries to get away but Kurumi stops him using her ability and shoots him again with another gun, teleporting him to the past 5 years ago.

## Date A Live x Danmachi - Memoria Freese: Ais Catastrophe

Sometime after Origami was sealed, an entity was came to life as a pure spirit born from the mana of all Spirits sealed by Shido Itsuka in his world, the entity named herself as Amalgam of Spirits. During her time alive, she was born as an innocent Spirit but in the meantime she admired the corrupt director of DEM, Isaac Westcott, and all of his atrocities and ambition. By her own free will, she decided merge herself with Westcott's persona, copying him and consequently becoming HIM in the body of a Spirit.

After becoming Westcott, now reborn as Kaguya, discovered the existence of other multiverses using the power she stole from other Spirits and decided to set herself as the rule of all existence by destroying the entire multiverse and killing all Gods of the existence. To start her own plans, she begins merging two worlds at the same time together. These "mergings" lead to catastrophic damage across both of the merging worlds, while also creating phenomenon that summon monsters in both worlds. These alone lead to the deaths of thousands of innocents on various worlds.

After merging the worlds, Kaguya managed to open a portal between the worlds and teleported the heroes of DAL universe to the Second World: Kurumi Tokisaki, Shido Itsuka, Origami Tobiichi, Kotori Itsuka and Tohka Yatogami. After sending the said heroes to a dungeon filled with monsters, she took the form of Kurumi Tokisaki and attacked a party of adventurers near the dungeon, killing half of its squad and using her clones and letting them devour most of party alive with the solo purpose of incriminating Kurumi and other Spirits to the people of that world.

After passing the impression that all Spirits are monsters, she manipulates the Loki Familia, the guild responsible for sending adventurers to that dungeon and forces the main heroine of Danmachi's world, Ais, to fight Tohka to death while her other party members subjugated Bell and Shido. While the said heroines were fighting, Kaguya invades Ais' mind and discover she was a troubled person with psychological problems and a dark past full of tragedies and abuse. She then began to explore her fears and past while merging her with a Sephira Crystal to turn the heroine into an Inverse Spirit, locking up the pure heroine inside of her mind to see and feel the suffering and cruelty she experienced in her entire life for decades. When the two heroes begins their mission to rescue Ais, Kaguya immediately summons an Inverse Ais on the middle of the city, allowing them to save her. When the heroes finally managed to free Ais from her inverse form, Kaguya takes all the pain and suffering she Ais lived and threw back at her, resulting in her second Inversion; causing destruction to entire planet, killing billions.

However, to make her plans come to life, she needed Ais alive and so she took the form of Kurumi and returned to the past, to where the heroes could have a new chance to save Ais without breaking her Sephira Crystal, something is going to need if she wants to become the new God (Demon Queen) of the multiverse. When the heroes finally managed to save Ais from herself without breaking the Sephira Crystal, Kaguya and her plans were exposed by Kurumi, who then, finally, showed her true colors.

Kaguya reveals her true identity, including her own will, that is Isaac Westcott. Little by little, she express her true plans and how much she hated them. She then stated her true goal was to destroy the multiverse, "squeeze" the lives of all octillion living beings living in it in front of the Gods before turning the Heavens in a paradise of flesh and blood. When Lilirica, one of the main heroines of Danmachi cried and asked why Kaguya was doing that, she simple replied saying she was just pretending to be her sister and regretted for not killing her and cutting her head off due to her innocent personality. Before they could fight, "Westcott" taunts the heroes and states he is going to fight them in the form of Kaguya, a form Shido and his friends, can't hurt for being a close friend.

With the Sephira Crystal pure, Kaguya proceeds to absorb the Sephira Crystal of Ais in herself, ripping off her soul and becoming an Inverse Spirit. As a Spirit, she begins to cause spacequake around the planet, causing the death of millions just to test her new powers. When the heroes are battling Kaguya Westcott, she begins to torture Bell in front of his friends by breaking his bones and ripping his skin. She then proceeds to summon a storm of darkness that destroyed the town they were in, making thousands of victims.

As a final act to end that battle, Kaguya tries to cut the head off Shido but she ended defeated anyway. In her final moments, she laughs insanely as she embraces the Shinigami sending her soul to Hell. Following her defeat, Shido and the Spirits are sent back to their Earth, ending the false Kaguya's reign of terror but Shido states his battle with the true Westcott will continue before saying he will meet Bell and his friends from the other world again.

## Date A Live x Toaru Majutsu no Index War

Days after Shido and his friends saved Origami Tobiichi from her Inverse alter-ego, a strange dimensional hole was opened between two worlds, sucking the Esper Level 5 Misaka Mikoto and her friends from Judgment, Esper 4 Level Shirai Kuroko, out of their world and teleporting them to Tenguu City, an alternative Earth of their world.

Thanks to their unsual and different type of energy, Westcott and the DEM took interest in the girls and decided to capture them to conduct human experiments on their bodies, however, the girls are rescued by Ratatoskr and the sealed Spirits. Under the protection of Ratatoskr, the DEM forces spied the girls' daily lives as they learned more about the new world.

In order to lure them out, Westcott used his resources to hack a plane's system that was just leaving Tenguu City, with destiny to Tokyo. As a result, the plane fell over the town and crashed in the downtown, killing at least 800 people and burning the most of the downtown. With the speed of news, the world declared it as the Asia's worst plane accident of all time.

*More coming soon with Chapter 2...*

## Second Timeline

### Material A

In the DEM Industry Japan branch, Westcott regrets the loss of the Spirit Devil, and claims that, other than Princess, he's never seen such a perfect Inverse type Spirit. While he wonders about what could have made her go inverse, he tells Ellen that the facility from Neryl Island, which is owned by DEM, has finally given results regarding Material A, with a success rate of 75%. Westcott claims that it's time they made their own perfect inverse type.

Later, Westcott says that Ellen can take a rest for now after many days of hard missions. Soon afterwards, Ellen decides to go out to eat her favorite strawberry shortcake, but the cold weather annoys her. She remembers a subordinate who told her "Japan's winter is not a big deal". Then again, that subordinate was from Alaska. Suddenly, while thinking about adding strawberry shortcake to the company menu, she bumps into Shido. He tells her that he had feelings for her since their last meeting. And even though she is from DEM, she should go over to Ratatoskr. Ellen thinks this is a prank, and activates her Territory to crush Shido. However, he is unaffected by it. Then, she starts attacking Shido, but he dodges and blocks all of her attacks. After some more attacking, Shido lifts Ellen in a princess carry manner. Next, Shido decides to kiss Ellen, but ends up kissing her forehead since he doesn't want to force an unwilling girl. He goes away, and Ellen claims that she'll never forget this. With teary eyes, she returns to the company building, escaping from the public eye and from her chance to eat strawberry shortcake.

Meanwhile at Neryl Island, the DEM operatives are transporting the second Spirit, Nia Honjou, also know as Material A, out of Neryl Island, are attacked by Kurumi's clones, who was hunting down Nia Honjou to know informations about the First Spirit that Westcott, Elliot, Karen and Ellen summoned 30 years ago. The DEM Wizards are quickly overwhelmed, until Artemisia Bell Ashcroft (who was finally awake from her coma but had her memories altered to the point that she couldn't even recognize Origami Tobiichi who helped to save her life years ago) appears, wearing a CR-Unit like that of Ellen, and beheads several clones. After that, she uses her Territory to paralyze all the clones, and then kills the Kurumi that was leading them, thus securing the transport.

Some time after that, Westcott calls Ellen to his office. Back at the company building, she makes her way to Westcott's office, while thinking about what happened with Shido. Irritated, she hits the wall, but the pain makes her crouch down on the spot with teary eyes. Westcott then informs her that the Spirit Nightmare attacked the transporter that was carrying Material A. However, they solved the problem thanks to the new Adeptus 2. Changing the subject, Westcott informs Ellen about some strange Spirit readings. Ellen recognizes this "Spirit" as Shido Itsuka and claims she'll bring the target's head, however, Westcott reminds her that he prefer a living sample, as he bemuses over the cause of Ellen's overly ecstatic attitude. Westcott then wonders why Ellen is so angry and jokes at her cute behavior. Later, the Material A reacted to Shido's power when the DEM plane approached Tenguu City, causing the plane to fall along with the Material A, but apparently Westcott was aware it was coming.

After the fall of the plane Westcott called the two pilots, Knox and Burton, personally in his office. Because of their failure, it made the two pilots thought they were going to die at that moment, however, much to their surprise Westcott gave them a vacation and a reward for their failure. This confuses both pilots, to which Westcott adds that the treatments will be under insurance. However, Knox explains that they expected a punishment for letting Material A escape. Westcott then tells them that they are both great staff, who remained calm when Kurumi attacked, and he also planned to release Material A. Despite his kind words, Knox and Burton felt that they were being punished somehow by Westcott himself; being viewed as animals in a zoo.

### Becoming Spirit & Dark Nia

Some days later, Ellen, Artemisia and Westcott are driving through Tengu city, and he once again says that Knox and Burton did an excellent job. Had they released Nia themselves, there would have been traces. Ellen does not agree with his decision of letting Nia go. Westcott reminds her that they were stuck for years trying to inverse Nia. But he also reveals that they didn't just let her go. They embedded a Realizer inside Nia's brain to make her forget what happened during the last 5 years. However, when Westcott gives the signal, that Realizer will activate, forcing Nia to remember everything and trigger her inversion. Then, he reminds Ellen of their dearest wish and tells Artemisia that he's counting on her as well.

Later, after Westcott noticed Nia found her peace and hope again, he activates the Realizer in her brain that was blocking her memories of her past during her time as guinea pig in DEM facility, forcing her to remember all torture he and his scientists did to her for the last 5 years; some of those tortures included opening her skull, removing her intestines, cutting her belly, cutting her limbs and brutal sexual tortures. As a result, Nia loses her sanity and screams in pain as she enter in Inverse Form. When Shido is trying to save Nia, Westcott appears, and greets Shido as Artemisia rushes to Nia and rips off her Qlipha Crystal. Then he congratulates Artemisia on her work, and puts Nia's Qlipha Crystal in his chest as he becomes a Spirit.

After that, Isaac decided to try to use his new Spirit powers in invoking *Beelzebub* and creating an army of dark monsters. However, Isaac commanded they should go because his body would not endure several Inverted crystals and he was already happy to put his hands on the Demon King. His last words was "*let's meet again soon, Itsuka Shidou and all Spirits. Do enjoy the rest of your peaceful days even though you only have a little left*" before disappearing in the sky with Artemisia and Ellen.

In the building of his company, Isaac was happy like a child discovering a new toy while discovering the his new Spirit's powers. When checking out of curiosity, Isaac discovers that the world had already been rewritten once Shido Itsuka traveled to the past and changed the future to save Origami Tobiichi. He also discovered his powers were in incomplete form since Shido Itsuka had managed to make a part Nia's human mind back to her, but he did not bother with it and said it was a good result and was a step toward to his *long-cherished wish.* Westcott then looks at his book and let out a malicious smile as he prepares to go to another meeting.

### Westcott's Cybernetic Attack!

Following the rescue of Nia after the incident in the Mangaka Event, Westcott and the scientist of DEM tried another attack to Ratatoskr, but this time, sending a virus to their system to take down their systems, destroy all electronic devices of Japan to throw the country into state of chaos and anarchy and destroy the city of Tenguu in a nuclear explosion using Fraxinus.

Creating an artificial intelligence based in AI Maria from Fraxinus, the DEM considered her as a failure and discarded her on Internet. Making her first appearance, the virus named Maruna Arusu (based on Marina Arusu from the non-canon game series) first shows up in the PlayStation 4 of Nia as it slowly goes into Fraxinus' system, hacking its defensive codes, shields, energy power, etc.

While pretending to be a "DLC" character, Maruna proposes a game to Nia where she has to take off her clothes in front of Shido. Following her gamer instincts, Nia accept the challenge while Maruna said her "father" (Isaac Westcott) will be proud of her if she wins. When questioned about her father, Maruna replies saying her father is her creator and the man who gave her life as an AI for free to all PS4 players (making a funny and indirect joke to EA in the real world).

As the game goes on, Maruna made Nia to take off all her clothes, leaving her only with bra and panties. At this point, Maruna had access to the Hospital Section of the ship, and following her programming, she disabled all medical machines, putting the lives of many patients in risk of death. Meanwhile, the game continued in Nia's room, but when Maruna ordered Nia to take off her panties, she immediately gave a 'rage quit', leaving Maruna angry and then revealing herself to Japan as a threat.

After discovering the place of origin of Maruna, Kotori came to the conclusion that Westcott and his DEM were trying to take down Fraxinus and take millions of lives with them. Soon afterwards, Maruna began to spread herself to all electronic devices of Japan and prepared to turn the entire country into a Hell on Earth. And following this, Maruna now was trying to control the military satellites of the world that belonged to Asgard Electronics, she then prepared to destroy all facilities of Asgard across the globe.

When Nia questioned why Maruna was doing this, she replied that she is doing it so she can be loved by her father, Isaac Westcott. But when questioned about her sense of morals, she immediately began to doubt Westcott's love for her as he abandoned her from the beginning. Using her sadness as an opportunity to stop this madness, Nia convinces Maruna to play a dating game with her so they can communicate with each other. In the dating game, Maruna said she always knew her father was not a person who could love and began to question her own existence. After a few minutes, Nia convinced Maruna to stop by saying she is going to love her... the game ends with the Nia (the protagonist of the game) and Maruna kissing and having 'sex' later.

Meanwhile in Fraxinus, the system of the ship returned to its normal and all electronic devices of Japan were now back to normal. Still confused by what happened, the crew of Fraxinus look at each other with pathetic faces. Meanwhile in DEM building, Westcott is disappointed that he failed to take Japan to the Stone Ages but was happy that their virus (his artificial daughter) almost had success. Even so, he admitted that he never once loved her and considered her as an "Discarded AI" from the beginning.

Maruna then became the virtual girlfriend of Nia from that day on.

### Mukuro Planet

A few days later, Westcott calls both Ellen and Artemisia to his office to inform them that Beelzebub has been receiving interference from an outside source, which he theorizes came from Sister's survival. Despite this heavily restricts the Demon King's omniscience function, he still managed to decipher the information he needed just in time. Thanks to this, he has found the location of a new Spirit. When Ellen questions where the Spirit is, he responds by raising his index finger and pointing to the sky.

Despite sending an entire armada against the new Spirit Zodiac, the fleet and troops are easily destroyed and Zodiac retaliates by transporting the debris simultaneously to DEM's international facilities. Seeing this display of power, Westcott notes that he never expected the vanguard troops to defeat her, implying he sent them to a suicide mission, but praises this power for its excellence. The tracking satellite remaining then notes that the Zodiac has remained at its previous coordinates. Reading Ellen's intentions, Westcott nods his head and decide to leave the capture to Ellen and Artemisia as it was troublesome to have his facilities around the world being destroyed. After Ellen leaves, a nearby Wizard questions if it is really okay to let Ellen go to outer space. Asking if his subordinate is questioning his orders, the Wizard quickly retracts her statement, saying that she is wondering if Ellen can still fight after finding out about that thing. As the Wizard muttered in a feeble voice, Westcott shrugged his shoulders and notes that this is how it should be. As he uncovers his right hand, a black levitating tome materialized with the instructions on how to capture to the new Spirit. He remarks that he expects a lot from Ellen, but for a long time, she wouldn’t want to avoid getting bathed in blood from head to toe. As he finished, Westcott lets out an indifferent laugh.

Much later, Westcott and his forces launch an all-out assault to the secret Ratatoskr facility with hundreds of drones and soldiers, having preciously discovered its location from Beelzebub. Per chance, he runs into Shido and his group just as they were racing towards the new Fraxinus. Seeing him present, Origami and Tohka immediately assume their limited Astral Dresses in an act of rage to kill him for everything he had done. Tohka's attack blows away the Wizard that is accompanying him, while Origami prepares to fire her laser from her Metatron. However, Westcott easily blocks the attack by summoning a book page to shield himself, with him noting that such a pathetic attack won't be able to harm him in his current state. As Westcott grins in a bewitching manner, he notes that this would be a perfect opportunity to test Beelzebub's abilities. As he activates Ashufiriya, enormous books start emerging underneath Shido and his group, eventually swallowing them in. As the Wizard asks where they had gone, he remarks that they are within a fairy tale, trapped in a fantasy. However, rather than focus on Shido, their current target takes precedence at the moment. He smiles and states that he is looking forward to meeting his old friend, Elliot, in person.

### Fighting Ratatoskr

Westcott intercepted Woodman and Karen just as the two were about to enter their emergency escape helicopter. When questioned by his timely arrival by his old colleague, he admitted that he had to use his own intuition since the Demon King Beelzebub's information network was still scrambled by Sister. After exchanging pleasantries with his old friend, Westcott was asked if he had come to kill them. In response, he retorts that would defeat the entire purpose of not bringing Ellen along. If possible, he wishes to bring both Woodman and Karen back to DEM. Upon hearing Woodman's refusal, he responds by summoning Beelzebub and asks his old rival to at least entertain him.

The result of the battle is not shown. However, Westcott had lost one of his arms in the conflict and retreated with his forces. As Ellen raced back to DEM headquarters after her defeat by the new Fraxinus EX, she demanded to see Westcott over not being told about the raid on Ratatoskr's headquarters. However, much to Ellen's frustration, she finds that Westcott was in the middle of a Realizer treatment to recover from his wounds. Despite this, he happily waves his severed limb in front of both Ellen and Artemisia. He admits that he was magnificently defeated by them. Still, the front half of his severed arm was successfully recovered, so he should still make a full recovery by tomorrow. After hearing the medical staff's concern over continuing his treatment, Westcott tells them that he will have to postpone their chat until the next day and they should go heal their own wounds in the meantime.

### Shido's Death and the Apocalypse

Days after his battle with Ratatoskr, Westcott found himself in a state of inability inside of the DEM Industries Branch thinking in his next step after Mukuru managed to escape from his grasp thanks to the Sealed Spirits of Ratatoskr. Inside of the branch, Westcott calls Ellen and Artemisia to his office but when the latter enters in the room she notices a dark presence coming from the chamber and immediately thinks it was the Spirit Nightmare, Kurumi Tokisaki, who was attacking Westcott but it turned out it was nothing but himself. Westcott then explains to Ellen that her failures against Ratatoskr create a perfect scenery where he will be victorious and says the current circumstances shall precipitate the best-case scenario. Isaac then says it's time to end this and it is time for the massacre starts with a new kind of trick, when the proud Adeptus 1 questions him for doubting her strength, the director answers that Ratatoskr has now too many Spirits under their thumb and their numbers are too overwhelming even for Artemisia and Ellen and decides to bring "reinforcements" to assist them in this quest. Isaac Westcott then invokes several pages from his Demon King Beelzebub and summons several girls known as Nibecol, whom he named as "Daughters of the Demon King", leaving Ellen and Artemisia in shock.

Later, Ellen and Artemisia plans to ambush Shido Itsuka soon after he left Raizen High School with Kurumi Tokisaki but the Wizards were intercepted by Mana Takamiya, who prevented the assassination by attacking Ellen before she could attack. However, using Westcott's Demon King abilities, Ellen summons several Nibecol to attack Mana, who later mocked Ellen for being Westcott's lover and said their father (Isaac Westcott) had bad tastes. Ellen, following Westcott's orders, ignored Mana and retreated, Mana tried to follow her but was stopped by Nibecol who prevented her from following Ellen. Mana later received the help from Kurumi Tokisaki's clones and fought Nibecol until every single one of them were destroyed but it was later revealed they are immortal.

Later in DEM Branch, Nibecol blamed Ellen for being the first failing in the mission, that was enough for Ellen lose her cool and tried to kill Nibecol but she was stopped by Westcott who entered in the room as his daughters took cover behind him. When Westcott asked the reason of failure Nibecol claimed that there were many annoying people in the battlefield, such as Mana Takamiya and Kurumi Tokisaki's clones that stopped them from killing Shido Itsuka. Westcott then suspected that someone leaked the plans of his attack, or rather, the *attack* itself. Even so Isaac refused to accept defeat and planned another attack very soon.

This time, to ensure victory, Westcott sent Ellen, Artemisia and Nibecol in a surprise attack end Shido's life and the best moment for this was when Kurumi finally decided to confess her feelings in roof of the Shido's high school, thus creating a scenery where all Spirits, including Kurumi, will go into Inverse Form through seeing their loved one being murdered in cold-blood. Later, when Kurumi was chatting with Shido about sealing her powers, Nightmare (Kurumi Tokisaki's codename), was about to confess her feelings for Shido when suddenly Ellen impaled Shido's chest as they were distracted. The Spirits who were saved by Shido from AST and DEM so far, were watching the scene and rushed to save him but were stopped by Nibecol as they claimed it was time to make the dream of their "daddy" real.

Despite their efforts to pass through their defenses Nibecol displayed her masoquist and nihilistic personality by receiving all the attacks while laughing. In response to the attack, Kurumi summoned several of her clones as well and the roof became a rain of blood as Kurumi and Nibecol sliced and impaled themselves in a bloody batte. As Ellen watched the battle while stepping in Shido's back, Kurumi tried to save him but Artemisia cut off her arms before she could reach him. While everyone were distracted with Nibecol and Artemisia, Ellen claimed it was the end of Shido's life, in despair, Tohka and the Spirits begged for Ellen to stop but she ignored their words and pierced Shido's heart as everyone were watching, thus finally killing him and forcing the Spirits to watch his death.

During the confusion, Kurumi and her clones managed to escape as the mana of all Spirits who were sealed by Shido so far started to become dark, meaning that everything went according to Isaac's plans; all Spirits fell in despair and were becoming Inverse Spirits.

At last, there was a sharp alarm ringing throughout the town (the Spacequake alarm), but it was already too late. A huge tornado weltered around the school building, which had been reduced into rubble, magnifying the damage to the surrounding structures one after another. Then, a condensed jet-black light expanded radially from the center of the building. As far as one could see, the landscape had transformed into scorched earth and ending the lives of thousands in a second. As the Spirits' black energy started to grow even more, starting the Apocalypse, one of Kurumi clones managed to recover Shido's body during the process and the former tried to revive him with her the *Fourth Bullet Dalet* but it proved to be useless as it was impossible to bring someone back to life. Due to her failure, Kurumi fell in depression for having killed thousands only to know it was all in vain, she later looked at the world and saw the reality was about to end. During the climax of Westcott's plan (the end of the reality), Kurumi used her *Sixth Bullet Vav* to return to the past (days before the attack) before DEM could create such chaotic future where Isaac Westcott is the victorious.

## Third Timeline

### DEM's Full-Scale War Begins!

Back at DEM HQ, Ellen and Artemisia were in a room filled with Nibecol clones waiting for Isaac Westcott to arrive from his company duty. During this time, Westcott's daughters annoyed Ellen by asking many questions to her, such as: *“How was Otou-sama ("father" in Japanese) like when he was younger?"* and many other nonsense. When Ellen asked Nibecol to be quiet but they answered back only to have the wizard calling them as monkeys. When Westcott arrived, Nibecol immediately rushed at him and said Ellen was hurting them and called her a person with the brain of a gorrila, much to Westcott's amusement, however, this time Ellen used her Territory to kill one of Westcott's daughters by squeezing her to death. For Westcott and Ellen, this degree does not fall under death. It was a sensation similar for them to lightly tap their fingertips against something. In fact, the rest of the Nibelcol did not lament over their companion’s annihilation, nor Isaac Westcott. The director then asked Ellen to calm down as he does not want to lose more allies. Westcott exposed a thin smile before walking towards where that piece of paper fell down on the floor reaching out to touch the object that was just a Nibelcol just a moment ago. The moment after that touch, the paper emitted out a faint light just before a girl suddenly appeared from within the sheet. It was the exact same Nibelcol that Ellen had strangled with her territory just earlier.

Westcott then go to the point and says that he is aware that Kurumi Tokisaki altered the timeline by returning to the past thanks to his omniscience granted by his Demon King Beelzebub, the omniscient Demon King that Westcott had stolen away from Nia months ago. Later, Westcott informs that Kurumi is awared of his plan to kill Shido Itsuka and force all Spirits go into Inverse Mode (Westcott's plan in killing during Kurumi's confession) and so the same plan is not going to work. During their conversation, Nibecol entered in their way and said Ellen was the reason why they failed, with this, the Wizard once again tried to the Nibecol clone but they hide themselves behind Westcott who was explaing that as long the Angel Zafkiel is on the hands of Kurumi Tokisaki, it will be impossible to take progress as Kurumi can always return to the past to change the future where DEM will be victorious. Having heard this, Ellen envisioned repeating an endless trial and error to avoid having a beloved from being slaughtered. Even the strongest Wizard Ellen was left shivering in fear. For Nightmare, Tokisaki Kurumi to have endured that kind of thing up until now, it was enough to sincerely respect her despite being an enemy.

As Westcott continued, he planned to end Kurumi's mission by showing the *true* strength of his company to make her give up on Shido Itsuka and her new "friends". Westcott suggested mobilizing all of DEM Industries’ resources to completely decimate Itsuka Shidou and added that even if Kurumi already knows what will happen, it will be to the extent of being absolutely impossible to prevent from occurring. In the process of this operation, he might start a war of full scale in Tenguu City and end the lives of millions but he doesn't show interest in the lives of civilians and considered a side-effect. Westcott then add that Kurumi's hopes and ideals, everything will become severed when he show the true force of his armada. After saying that, Westcott’s smile grew darker as more Nibecol clones arrived in the room through the vent of the office. Nibecol clones then showed a freshly decapitated head of a Kurumi Tokisaki and informed him that some clones of Kurumi Tokisaki were sneaking around DEM's territory. Westcott then gave his praise to Nibelcol and his daughter let out a cheerful and bashful “eh” sound. For Ellen, it might have even resembled a cute interaction between parent and child were it not for the blood from the severed head dripping on her hands. However, Nibecol continued and said that many of her clones managed to escape after listening to Westcott's plans, however, the director did not mind the fact as long as Zafkiel is in her hands, Kurumi will find out eventually what DEM is planning. Isaac then looks at the roof and asks if there are still clones of Kurumi listening to his words and ask them to send a message to their master, saying he will definitely kill Shido Itsuka and end their miserable lives. Later, Kurumi's shadows shaked in anger and left the room to inform to Ratatoskr that Isaac Westcott is coming with his armada to put an end to the war between DEM and Ratatoskr that has been happening for 3 decades.

### The Final Battle Begins

Many days after Westcott declared war, the heroes spent days working in a plan to counter-attack Westcott and his armada that were regrouping from all over the world in United Kingdom to launch a full-assault to Tenguu City to put an end to Shido and Kurumi's lives. When the day had arrived, the DEM Industries had 30 space ships, tens thousands of Wizards, thousands of Bandersnatch and Nibelcol's clones, not to mention Ellen Mira Mathers and Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, two of the World's Strongest Wizards. Westcott then ordered his forces to charge at the enemy with full-force and leave no survivors. If someone of Ratatoskr's ranks survive, execute them or torture them to death and if a civilian witness his armada, shoot them down, no matter if they are women or children. When DEM fleet was near the town, Ratatoskr immediately rang the spacequake alarm to make all population of the city enter in the Anti-Spacequake shelter to reduce the number of civilian victims, however, Westcott was not amused and considered in sending troops to shoot all population of the town in the shelter to find Shido if he refuses to show up.

Despite Ratatoskr's efforts to stop Westcott's armada they had only 5 space ships and places of Tenguu City that were remodeled by them to become artillery bases, hundreds of Wizards who were outnumbered, plus the 10 Spirits and Mana Takamiya, a former Wizard from DEM Industries. Before the battle began, Origami and Mana revealed their plan to defeat the Bandersnatch; that is by defeating Artemisia and insert the jamming code in her brainwave implated by Westcott to rewrite her memories, which will supposedly disable the Ashcroft-Beta Realizers that the Bandersnatch units are using. When the DEM fleet arrived, Westcott gave no chances to truce as he had enough of Elliot Woodman and the war begins, with both sides at a stalemate until Isaac Westcott orders all units to sortie, and then Ratatoskr and DEM's army fought in the skies of Tenguu City, however, it took not so long for the battle go to the ground where Spirits, Wizards and Bandersnatchs fought each other in a bloody battle, resulting in many deaths and destruction below.

At the same time, Westcott orders the AST's HQ from the Japanese Anti-Spirit Team, to charge in to fight against the Spirits to support DEM Industries in this matter for the "greater good". However, Westcott ordered his soldiers to use AST as baits to distract the Spirits and Ratatoskr's Wizards to take the chance to shoot down the enemy. When one of the DEM soldiers targeted the AST by using them as baits, Mukuro (ironically, one of the Spirits they were trying to kill) saved the AST leader by redirecting the laser back to the DEM Wizard herself thus killing her, the AST then decided to ignore Westcott and Japan Ground Self Defense's orders and fight against DEM instead as they had enough of Westcott and DEM in their country. On the battlefield, Westcott watched the war while Mana, Origami, Mukuro and Yoshino went up against Artemisia, however, she was able to go up against them all while explaining DEM gave her power to fight them all. Things went worse when Nia told that Ellen was going over there to back her up, but Ellen then was stopped by Elliot Woodman himself, the leader of Ratatoskr, who was all young again, leaving her surprised as he was an old-man just a few hours ago. At another place, some of Westcott's Nibelcol were facing against Ratatoskr’s Wizards, which were ended up saved by Tohka and the Yamai siblings, and their target Shido. The Nibelcol immediately went to charge towards him, and while Tohka managed to obstruct several of them, one managed to pass through and head towards Shidou with intentions to kill him in Westcott's name but he was saved by Kurumi.

During the battle, Kurumi tells that she wanted to kill the First Spirit and change history so that Shido can live, but Shido rejected her plan since it would mean he would never meet Kurumi. Not to mention that if she kill Westcott, Ellen, Karen and Elliot in the past, he would never have known none of the Spirits. Thus he decided on a plan where Kurumi let him seal her powers and then use her time travel powers to go back 30 years ago and seal the First Spirit without killing Westcott and the others. Then he will go through history, until the day where he and Kurumi will meet again.

At this moment, a Nibelcol went to kill Kurumi but she was protected by eye-patch Kurumi instead, who then tells her to be honest to her heart before disappearing. Before Shido can finally seal Kurumi, a hand appeared from Kurumi’s chest, just like what Shidou saw happened at the rooftop when Kurumi pierced her hand towards the clone Kurumi back in Volume 3. But this time, it was not a hand that pierced through her, but a hand that came from inside of her and was trying to get out. Then after a moment, the First Spirit who was summoned by Isaac and his friends appeared, who was revealed to be **Reine Murasame**, the mother of Shido who had her loved one killed by Westcott's hands. The First Spirit--Reine then thanks Kurumi for being her best friend until the end after all.

### Battle with Shido

As the battle continued following Kurumi's death by the hands of Mio Takamiya, also known as the First Spirit, Westcott then arrives with the Nibelcol and Beelzebub in hand and watch the battle between the Spirits. At this moment, Mio Takamiya, also known as the First Spiriti, summons Ain Soph Aur and giant flower appears in the air. And from the center, the silhouette of a young lady as if praying together is standing there, who turns out to be Mayuri (a non-canon Spirit from the film universe). As Mio utters the word “bloom”, death begins to spread indiscriminately. As the DEM forces witnesses Mio's power far out of their imagination appear, the crew of DEM's flagship enter in state of panic, but Isaac Westcott laughed madly as he witnessed the power of the "Gods". In the surrounding area, whether "Nibelcole", "Bandersnatch", the Wizards or even the giant warship, anything that touches the bright particles emanating from Ain Soph Aur disappears like smoke.

After that, Westcott and his ship were caught by the light, which resulted in the downfall of the DEM flagship. Yet, somehow, Westcott survived the explosion of his ship and planned to attack Shido Itsuka while he was alone. Waiting for the moment, Westcott used the chance that Shido was making his way towards Mio on the other side of the battlefield and summoned dozens of Nibelcol around him. When Shido prepared to "flirt" with Nibelcol, Westcott showed up and prevented him from doing so (considering his daughters have the personality of school girls). Upon seeing Shido, he proceeded to declare his final battle with him to decide who is more qualified for the power of the Spirits.

As they prepared to fight, Westcott taunted Shido about his death by his hands in the past. This caused the hero to lose his cool and fill his heart with hatred (something Westcott always desired). When Westcott finished, he looked at his destroyed ship from distance and mentioned that his crew of hundreds of DEM officers didn't survive, but added it was actually fantastic to see Mio taking down his ship and killing all his subordinates. Then, Westcott ask Shido's help to take down Mio Takamiya as his forces and himself are not match for the First of All Spirits. Obviously, Shido refuses and then the director claims he will kill Shido first and steal the mana of all Spirits he sealed so far in order to gain absolute power.

Starting their battle, Westcott summons his daughters to prevent the hero from escaping. In response, Shido summons the Angels of all Spirits he had and prepared to seal the fate of Westcott. Meanwhile, on distance the final battle between Ellen and Elliot had ended with a draw. However, after Ellen lost her consciouness, Elliot lost his life due to the exaggerated amount of magical power he used. Even from distance, Westcott could sense the life of Elliot, his best friend, fading away. In response to this, Westcott felt a little of guilty for losing his childhood friend but then he added that he was a fool who deserved death. Enraged by Westcott's lack of love, Shido charges at him and fires a shockwave of light at him, but he quickly cancelled his attack with Beelzebub's book.

Westcott then counter-attacks and gave orders to Nibelcol to attack Shido, only to be defeated and humilliated in front of him. Seeing that, Westcott wipes out their existence and calmly cast another wave of Nibelcol, whom had surrounded Shidou with a queue formation; the group of Nibelcol began to leap to attack Shidou one by one. When Shido tried to seal their powers with a kiss again, he noticed Westcott blindfolded their vision to erase their fears from being kissed. Yet, Shido repelled most of their attacks, leaving Westcott amused as Shido did his best to struggle. Seeing himself in danger, Shido used Metraton Angel to create an artificial sun and disappear from Westcott and Nibelcol's sight. When the evil Spirits began to look for Shido, Westcott was attacked by one of the Nibelcol, who revealed to be Shido disguised. However, no matter what he did, Westcott easily predicted his move and taunted his negligence. Using his strategy, Westcott summoned Nibelcol behind and Shido and made them punch him in his abdomen, injuring the hero and weakning his physical body. While Westcott watched Shido coughing blood in amusement, he was asked why he wants the power of the Spirits by the former. Westcott then replies that he is doing all of that for the sake of creating a new world by rewriting the real universe with Deus (Mio Takamiya)'s world of Spirits in order to have revenge on the human race that killed his family.

After that, he gave Shido a long speech of that good and evil are just a point of view as long he is doing good things in the eyes of his own people; the methods and ways are meaningless. At that point, Shido discovered that Westcott was not a monster but a human being to the greatest extent, it was only him morals and sense of ethic that were screwed up.

Westcott then prepared to use his hand to rip off Shido's heart but he was stopped by Miku and Natsumi, who arrived in time. Gaining new allies, Shido proposed to defeat Westcott as quickly as possible and help the others to defeat the Spirit of Origin (First Spirit/Mio Takamiya) that has appeared. When Westcott recovered his senses, he smiled sadistically as he thanked Miku and Natsumi for coming for him since he will be able to rip off their Sephirah Crystals along with Shido's mana. While Shido, Miku and Natsumi were discussing a plan to defeat Westcott, the latter summoned more than 100 Nibelcols and ordered them to rip off their hearts. With the help of the Spirits, Shido managed to summon the Halvanhelev (the Throne of Sandalphon of Tohka). Shido then lifted the sword towards Westcott’s direction... Instead of running away, Westcott was too fascinated by the beauty of that attack and laughed madly as he let himself be hit by the wave of power. The excitement of that power becoming his own as long as he took away the Sephira Crystals, the excitement of his imminent death, at that moment Westcott’s mind was overflowing with pleasure. However, Westcott remembered that he wasn't immortal yet and decided to use the hundreds Nibelcols around him as meat shields. While they were being used as shields, Westcott took this chance to escape from the explosion but was caught by the attack with heavy injuries.

Westcott then laughed again as he knew that Shido used all his powers but all proved to be useless against him. As Westcott was celebrating his victory, Shido was preparing to give his ultimate and last energy blast. As Westcott prepared to deny his attack, he couldn't recognize the name of his ability since he was speaking in another language. While examining over the entire possible enemy powers that Westcott was aware of being able to be used in the instance of a chance opportunity, Shido's torrent of Spirit mana swallowed Westcott, who was already exhausted from Halvanhelev's previous attack.

The attack destroyed most of Westcott's bones and disabled him from fighting further. While most thought he wad dead, it was revealed that he had survived and began to curse himself for losing in such boring way. Seeing that Westcott, his killer, was defenseless, Shido proceeded to grab kill Westcott as he accepted his fate. Yet, he remembered that killing a defenseless person, no matter how cruel, would make him just like Westcott, the person who brought death and sorrow for millions. Instead of finishing him off, Shido summoned Michael's Angel to destroy Beelzebub's book.

Finding his behavior as odd, Westcott questioned why he is letting him live. The hero replied that he will pay for his sins in the living world while calling him a loser. The evil director found that a pity as he was interested in the feeling of death. However, just as Westcott began to laugh, the world became black and white. The next moment revealed that Mio Takamiya was extracting the Sephira Crystals of all Spirits in the world, killing them on the process. Following the defeat of Westcott, Shido and Tohka, the only Spirits who managed to survive, proceeded to attack Mio and finish this battle. However, the battle ended in Tohka's death, and forced Shido to use the power of a clone of Kurumi Tokisaki, to go back in time 30 hours ago to change the future where all Spirits were killed by Mio.

## Fourth Timeline

### Westcott's Assassination

In the DEM branch, Westcott discovers that Shido altered the future once again using his Beelzebub's omniscience. Discovering this, Westcott then orders all his forces from world to gather in United Kingdom to launch a full-attack to Tenguu City.

Following the events of Westcott's declaration of war to Ratatoskr, Shido managed to return in time before Westcott and the DEM arrived in Tenguu City. This allowed him to go on a date with Reine Murasame (the fragmental Spirit of Mio Takamiya) in order to make her fall in love with over Shinji Takamiya (his previous persona). However, the sealing of Reine's powers fail and DEM shows up. Using Westcott's omniscience, the DEM was able to discover that Shido altered the timeline once again using Kurumi's powers. Aware of this, Westcott, Artemishia and Ellen regrouped in the flagship and prepared to strike the Spirits and Ratatoskr emotionally rather than giving a direct combat. However, Ratatoskr and their allies began the attack, once again turning the town into a war zone.

As Mio saw the man who killed Shinji approaching with his minions, she goes off to fight the army of Wizards and Bandersnatchs droids. While Westcott watched the conflict, he sent troops to the underground facility of Tenguu City, AST Base and a musical event to seek the friends of the heroes. After many minutes, Westcott had a group of teenagers and children in his hands and was willing to trade the lives of their friends for the Sephirah Crystals of all Spirits combined. Not only civilians but also the Wizards from AST who were Origami's friends. Westcott then snap his fingers and finish the transmission while saying they have only a few minutes to decide.

Obviously, the heroes thought he was lying and then he ordered one of his Bandersnatchs to kill one of the hostages. It turned out the hostages were students from Raizen High School and betrayed Wizards from AST, and soon afterwards he once again order his robots to kill some of the hostages, this time, Ryouko, Mikie, Asakura Hiyori, Ai, Mai and Mii as well as a group of dozens of children and teenagers. Seeing this, Mukuro creates dimensional holes and teleports Origami, Miku and Tohka at those locations to protect the civilians, ending the attempted mass-murder in a matter of seconds.

However, while the Spirits were busy saving the hostages, Westcott, Artemishia and Ellen went personally to Fraxinus to kill Elliot Woodman and the rest of the crew. During their invasion, Westcott once again massacred hundreds of officers and members of the staff. Noticing that the Spirits are coming to stop him, he summons an army of thousands of Nibelcols to fight his enemies and destroy the ship from outside. While Westcott invaded the ship alongside Ellen and Artemisia, Shido, Kotori and Mana arrived and prepared to fight the trio while the rest went to fight DEM's force.

While Westcott was fighting Shido, Woodman watched their fight and ordered Karen, to prepare his CR-Unit, Odin, to join the battle since he knew Shido's defeat is inevitable. After a long time fighting, Westcott discovered an opening in the boy's defenses and knocked him. With eager to get Shido's powers, Westcott prepared to impalw him with his own hand. However, Kurumi Tokisaki appeared and impaled his chest, ripping off his Sephira Crystal he stole from Nia's inversion. Then Kurumi's clones unloaded a series of ammunition that caused severe injuries to Westcott.

Westcott then falls to the floor, lifeless, as Kurumi helps Shido to get up and prepares to transfer his crystal and her personality to one of her clones to keep it in safety. Seeing Westcott in the brink of death, Ellen and Artemishia carried his body away. However, it was later revealed he faked his death so he could strike by surprise in a near future. As Kurumi prepared to use Beelzebub, Mio comes back from the battle and declares that she will once again kill all Spirits and erase the memories of Shido to bring back her loved Shinji Takamiya.

As Westcott was faking his death, he asked Ellen where her ship was, GOETIA, and she immediately replied it was attached to Fraxinus. He then smiled maliciously as he declared everything happened according to his plan.

### Becoming the Second Spirit of Origin

While Shido, Shinji, Mio and Reine were inside of Ain Soph to have their "special date" in an attempt to seal them both, Westcott prepared to transfer all of Mio's mana to his own body using GOETIA as the source of energy. When Shido and Mio left from the Ain Soph, they were caught by surprise by a magical circle surrouding them. In the middle of their conversation, the scenery around suddenly showed disruptions, Mio and Reine acknowledged that someone was using the Spirit Formula outside. 30 years ago, this was the ritual used to summon the Spirits to the human world. But to perform it, one has to choose a place that has the Spirit Core. And that place is the centre of Eurasia. Currently, Mio was also the incarnation of that Spirit Core. For a Spirit Core to bloom up naturally it would take hundreds of thousands of years, and the current Spirit Formula was not performed in the normal way. Westcott used Goetia as a replica for the Spirit Core. «Goetia» was initially Ellen’s private battleship, but by itself it is also a huge CR-Unit. By lying down inside «Goetia» and performing the Spirit Formula, Westcott had converged the Mana flow into his own body.

After a long and painful transference of power, Westcott managed to drain very single drop of Mio's power and became the new Spirit of Origin, the Second Spirit of Origin. However, since his heart was *pure evil*, the power of the Spirits declared him as an Inverse Spirit of Origin, the Source of All Evil in Qliphoth Tree. Seeing Westcott becoming the source of all evil in the universe, Mio then asks for Shido's help as Reine and Shinji disappears forever. Mio then held Shido's hands, knowing this mission might end their lives.

Mio then summoned the Celestial Knights to test Westcott's powers but they were instantly vaporized. Seeing the two were about to attack him, Westcott said he is going to be busy rewriting the universe's laws and so he sent a small sphere of energy to Ellen and Artemishia, strengthening their power and physical abilities.

### Final Confrontation

Without wasting his time, Westcott ramdonly used his powers to test the limits of his own energy. In the darken sky where the setting sun had already vanished into the horizon, Westcott's light swirled coiled and swirled as it converged onto a single point, twisting the reality and space around him. Discovering his limits, Westcott claimed he is now equal to Deus and nothing can stop him now as he have the power of all Spirits in the universe, making himself the strongest being in the existence, the most common traces of his powers were among omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), immortality, divine simplicity and control over all aspects of creation and life itself.

Scared of the supernatural power stolen by Westcott, Tohka tried to kill him with a wave of reiryouku. However, the slash, which could cleave open any solid impregnatable fortress, dissolved into the air upon making contact with the light radiating from Westcott. Before she could do anything else, Ellen and Artemisia rushed at the group of Spirits and fought them in a final battle. In an instant, Origami and Mana screamed as their bodies were repelled backwards. An instantaneous attack faster than what the eye could follow. Despite the two of them already having assumed a defensive stance, their weaponry and armored arm respectively were beautifully torn down. Artemisia then tried to cut the head of Tohka but she blocked her sword with her Sandalphon, yet before she could strike back, Artemisia, with the energy of Westcott, kicked Tohka meters away, forcing the Spirit to kick off against the sky. Naturally, Artemisia followed the Spirit but before they could fight again, Mio and Shido came out from the sky, calling the attention of the evil trio. Shido then manifested the Angel Sandalphon in his hand while pointing it at Westcott but the overwhelming pressure from Westcott's energy caused the hero to see illusions of his skin breaking apart into dust, making him confirm that a being that is not a Spirit will easily have their souls dragged out of their bodies just by looking at the new Second Spirit of Origin.

Westcott then thanked Shido for holding off Mio in their special date until he could finish the Spirit Formula and transfer all her powers to his body, making him the new Spirit of Origin. Even with his guard on alert, Shido felt his breath begin to clog as Westcott summoned a Demon King behind him. Floating behind Westcott, a huge “tree” had appeared. A jet-black tree with branches that shaded the sky and roots that dredged towards the earth. It’s epidermis resembled decaying rotten wood as it filled the air with an ominous feeling of suffocation. The Demon King from nightmares emerged as if spreading despair to everyone who gazed at it, Westcott then laughed loudly and like conductor waved his hands while declaring with an intoxicated expression the name of the Demon King, Belial. In that instant, the jet-black tree began to squirm like the movements from a developing fetus. Its branches began to expand out to the horizon as its roots turned and pointed to the ground. At the same time, another landscape began to form in the sky around the huge tree. Everyone recognized this sight as it felt the same as the monochrome space created by Mio's Ain Soph, the sensation of the “neighboring world” gradually eroding this world. Westcott then declared he would not waste his time playing with them and prepared himself to rewrite the dimensional space of all universe to create his own world and replace all life with a dystopia world where magus will come back to life to rule over all reality as the only-superior race of the universe.

At that moment, the Mio summoned her Ain Soph and created a similar tree, but a tree of light, unlike Westcott's that is a tree of darkness and death. Ain Soph extended out its branches and roots to entangled Belial in order to pin it down. Ain Soph and Belial intertwined intricately, enveloping the surrounding area like a huge bird cage. The two worlds vying for development collided against each other, staining the surrounding scenery with noise. Westcott then praised Mio for her efforts but said it was useless as the Inverse Forms of the Angels are way superior. Westcott then raised his hand and twisted a part of the dimension in his hands to force the release of Belial. At the same time, Mio asked for the help of all Spirits to protect the world by lending their Angels to Mio to form one single divine attack to break through Westcott's defenses. The Spirits all responded to Shido's command as they each kicked off the exterior of Fraxinus and rushed towards Westcott.

However, Westcott wouldn't just wait by silently and tried to use the squirming branches from Belial to shoot down the Spirits at a tremendous speed. Artemisia and Ellen, both given power by Westcott, intercepted the Spirits. Their laser swords were weaved with a dense magic as they traversed in a speed faster than the human eye could follow. Despite this, the Spirits who had regained their full strength wouldn't be killed so easily. Origami and Mana suppressed the DEM wizards as the rest of the Spirits used that opportunity to avoid the branches from Belial. Strengthened by the Angels of all Spirits, the Spirits fired a laser beam with the combined might of everyone as the night sky turned bright red. Although Westcott defended himself with a wall of reiryoku from Belial, it could be seen that damage was gradually beginning to accumulate despite still remaining unscathed.

Impressed by the attack of all Spirits combined, Westcott summoned Athiel (Extreme Altar of Death) and a huge sphere on the size of a 50km meteor appeared in the sky above Westcott’s head. Following Westcott command, ripples began to form on the surface of the sphere like a flower bud beginning to bloom. From that center, countless particles of darkness poured down towards the Spirits and all the town of Tenguu City. The grains of darkness released from the huge black flower Athiel poured down towards the Spirits like countless particles of drifting pollen, killing the last soldiers of DEM and thousand civilians. Westcott revealed those dark particles were a representation of "death", an instant death attack that would snatch away the life of its target with a mere contact. The Spirits didn’t attempt to rebound or defend as they quickly leaped out the way while the evil magician used this opportunity to bring more destruction and death around the area.

Origami and Mana, who were fighting Artemisia and Ellen, were obstructed by their opponents and forced to make a delayed escape. In response to this, Mio tried to summon Ain Soph Aur to counteract Athiel before it could kill Origami and Mana. Yet, it was too late for both girls, but before they could be killed by the particles, Maria Arusu and hundreds of her clones protected the Spirits and Wizards as they danced in the air, before heading towards Athiel.

As Shido saw this opportunity to finish Westcott, he flew towards towards Westcott who was busy trying to convert the world into his paradise, making billions victims. Ellen and Artemisia, who noticed his movements, tried to stop him alongside the countless branches of Belial that were squirming like tentacles. The Spirits lined up around him deflected back the Wizards' laser swords and dispelled the incoming branches in order to clear a pathway. Making his to Westcott, who was aware of his incoming attack, released numerous laser beams at the boy but he missed all. Seeing this chance to end this battle before more millions could die. Shido then summoned the power of all Angels in his hand as he prepared to punch the magician. Westcott widened his eyes in joy and excitement to meet his death and defeat as his omniscience had already foresaw the future.

With the combined powers of all Kabbalah tree in his fist, Shido smashed Westcott's face, making the entire continent tremble like an earthquake. At the same time Westcott let out an anguished cry, the huge tree standing behind him and the overlooking flower above both let out a dull sound. The space fought against with Ain Soph had begun to distort and collapse, putting an end to the two Demon Kings. Although Westcott had possessed the power of the Spirit of Origin, it was impossible to handle that lightly as he is just a magician who don't have control over the Demon Kings yet. Westcott's falls to the floor and his new form begins to crack, returning him to his normal form. While everyone were celebrating their victory after saving the universe, Westcott laughed as he said he didn't stop anything but only brought the end of all life on the planet. Westcott then summoned Qemetiel by spelling its name and a torrent of mana surrounded his body like a storm and then claimed that with his injuries, he could no longer hold the power of the Demon King with perfection, and it would cause a worldwide explosion that would take every single living being on the globe with him (with the planet itself). Meanwhile, Mio is astonished and could think in nothing to stop the magician from destroying the world with him.

Darkness gathered in front of Westcott and formed the shape of a seed. Shido tried to escape but his body was bounded by that seed and could not move. Before he could jump from the seed, Shido realized if he jumps from that seed, the entire zone in kilometers will be erased alongside the Spirits. Meanwhile, the black seed as if germinating, was spreading darkness out into the area, marking the Spirits with death. However, before the darkness could engulf Shido, Mio released him and saved the hero. Before everything, she explained the power of Qemetiel is out of control and if it continues another catastrophe similar to the First Spacequake that happened 30 years ago will happen again but in a worldwide scale. Mio then remembered her life with Shinji and said she loved Shido before saying a final goodbye before pushing him out of the storm of darkness and mana. No, not just Shidou. The other Spirits along with Mana, also got pulled away by countless branches. As Ain Soph pulled everyone away, it gradually changed its gigantic form, just like before when it wrapped around Mio and Shidou, it then covered itself around Shidou and Fraxinus.

Inside of the storm of mana, Mio confronted Westcott in a final meeting. Westcott then said it was a beautiful moment of affection but right now he only wants to delete Shido purely out of envy due to his relationship with Mio, the Spirit he is in love with. Westcott then questioned where he did wrong in his life; from the moment he killed his parents, created the Spirit Formula and summoned her to the world. After seeing that Westcott was living in misery his entire life, af if she was trying to "comfort" him a little by saying if his love for her is one of the causes of his misery, she took this chance to say she would never choose a person so monstrous like him. Westcott then laughed while shocked with the revelation the Spirit he loved for so long never would accept him. With their final conversation finished, Westcott summoned the Black Seed of Qemetiel in his hands as Mio summoned her last Angel, Ain. A moment after, the forces of void and void collided against each other, causing a huge explosion of energy that destroyed everything in thousand kilometers.

### Ultimate Demise

After Mio successively returned Belial's energy back to Westcott, he was hit by the explosion of Ain and Belial's energy, causing his body to be destroyed. When the dust disappeared, it was revealed he had survived but only his torso and head were intact. While he was on the floor, he noticed his Demon Kings are now long gone, and even if he somehow regenerate his own body using a Realizer, there is no point in living since his plans to rewrite the reality were ruined by Mio and Shido. He then thought about suicide but then he realized that he already tried to kill himself with the rest of the world but failed to do so. But what truly caused him to give up was the fact that Mio was dead and refused to be with him.

Moments later, Ellen, his childhood friend, approached him while preparing to take him to a medical realizer. However, he refused as he saw Elliot and Karen approaching. Seeing Elliot and Karen there, Ellen begged for them to save Westcott but the latter refused. At that point, even Elliot knew Westcott's only wish was to die. Westcott then asks if he came to laugh at him but his friend calmly reply saying he was there to see him die. Westcott began to blame himself for asking such idiot question as they were always friends and both were men who were rejected by the same woman (Mio Takamiya).

Just as Westcott began to feel the hand of the Angel of Death about to get his soul to bring it to Hell, he remembered a strange feeling of joy and pleasure. When he witnessed Ellen, Karen and Elliot's sorrow for losing their childhood friend, Westcott remembered the day his mother died, the day he could feel sorrow for the first time in the face of so many people. The looks of his friends, and the fact that he was the one molding these facial expressions, the fact that he was at the center of their despair, was absolutely wonderful and comfortable for him.

Westcott then dies in "ecstatic excitement" as the Angel of Death (shinigami) reaches him, turning his body into dust and ending his reign of terror once and for all. This time, for good. As such, he finally gets his eternal comeuppance for toying with God and Devil's power; and his soul is dragged into the depths of the Hebrew Hell forever.

Following his death, the Sephira/Qlipha Crystal he had inside of his body is left behind right where he died. Unfortunately, his suicidal move to take the rest of the world with him ended the life of Mio Takamiya, who died soon afterwards in the arms of Shido. However, with Westcott dead, Mio is finally free from her hatred that kept her alive for 3 decades since the day Westcott summoned her in the world. Accepting her fate, Mio goes to the Afterlife, where she finally meets her long lost-lover, Shinji Takamiya, the boy who was murdered by Westcott almost three decades ago. The couple then hug each other and disappears in the afterlife, happy now they can move on.

Even after his death, his legacy continued to live for countless years. In addition, with his death, now there are only 3 genuine mages left in the world: Elliot, Karen and Ellen.

## Parallel Timeline

In a parallel timeline where the events of the original timeline changed slightly, Westcott successfully achieved one of his objectives through the hands of Beast. After every Spirit was sealed by Shido, the DEM Industries launched an attack in Tenguu City with the solo purpose of killing Shido so Westcott could make every Spirit go into Inverse Form. As the battle raged on, Westcott managed to impale Shido and ripped his heart off while forcing the other Spirits to watch. Witnessing Shido being murdered, Tohka fell into despair and lost her sanity, becoming Beast. She then proceeded to kill all every Spirit nearby, including Westcott and his subordinates.

After she absorbed all Angels of her fallen friends, she launched a cataclysmic event upon the world, resulting in the destruction of the entire world and killing billions. The world was ravaged by the power of Spirit, however, many people still survived. The story has spread far away from Japan, and not only in lands directly damaged by Tohka, many people have moved underground to continue living. But the world was bigger than Tohka thought and humans are more resilient than Tohka thought.

While Westcott did not achieve his primary goal of becoming the Spirit of Origin to rewrite the reality where he rules over a tortured world controlled by Magicians, Westcott still had success in killing Shido and force every Spirit to go Inverse, however, before the Spirits sealed could Invert, Tohka became the only threat to the world and nearly wiped out the humanity that Westcott so longed to erase and the "delicious" suffering he wanted to spread across the world was delivered with success.

## Post-Death

### Aftermath and Legacy

One year later after Westcott's death, the world changed completely. After the final battle, Ellen Mira Mathers, who had lost Westcott right front of her eyes, completely lost her memories and knowledge about DEM and Westcott after waking up from a coma. Although the reasons were unclear, after waking up Ellen showed no malice or hostility and was only happy to be reunited with Woodman and Karen. Shido brought the possibility of her losing her memories in shock of Westcott’s death or she had erased her own memories with the Realizer Manifestation Device because she could not endure the fact she lost her best friend. In another bizarre theory, Shido thought Westcott arranged for Ellen to lose her memories at the same time as his death because he wanted her to forget everything bad she did for him so she could have a happy life beside Elliot and her sister, Karen Nora Mathers.

Aside from the death count, the DEM kidnapped many children like Mana, and made them into soldiers of DEM. Wizards with powers to control over magi-tech. Unknown to mankind, those children were most orphans who lost their parents on the spacequakes and were children with high potential to control Realizers and CR-Units (most of the Japanese AST are composed by girls who lost loved ones to the Spirits in other spacequakes, confirming this theory). Due to the high altruism of Ratatoskr, it can be said that the Elliot Woodman helped to free all those innocents who were brainwashed to become mindless soldiers and suicidal child soldiers.

With Westcott dead, the DEM lost its central figure of authority and its military was completely divided between Westcott's Supporters and Anti-Isaac Factions. The DEM, which had lost Westcott’s strong central pull and influence, was in the midst of internal strife even after a year due to the anti-Westcott factions that continued to increase inside of their ranks as the most loyal officers and directors had to struggle their position in the leadership of the company, causing the company to slowly fall in ruins as Europe was being freed from their influence.

However, with Westcott's death, all nations of the world that depended on DEM's Realizers, suffered from great economic, financial, military and educational crisis. Westcott was the substantial top of the manufacturers (DEM) who were the only ones that could produce the Realizer in the entire world. Realizers were basically small chips made of magi-tech that could turn everything impossible in reality, such as allowing people to use magical powers, increasing the military in all continents and obviously, leading to more wars. With that said, it can be confirmed that most of all nations of the globe had their powers reduced, leading the globe to a possibly worldwide crisis, unless Ratatoskr and Asgard Electronics took over, replacing the role of DEM but in a more pacifist way. As such, without the Realizers to combat the crime, the police forces of the world suffered a great loss in their power, allowing the crime rate to increase. However, this opened other options for mankind to deal with their own evil without using power from a foreign corporation whose had almost total control over the governments thanks to DEM's influence in politics (as seen in Volume 5 where Sir Westcott had direct contact with the Prime Japanese Minister Saeki). Even so, the super soldiers created by Westcott, the Wizards, continued to exist and would be kept for the military of the world's governments for the next years to come. Due to Westcott's arrogance and cruelty, just a few people mourned for his death as seen with Elliot, Ellen and Karen, whom cried at the moment of his death. It's unknown how the world's leaders, popular figures and worldwide media reacted to his death.

Much later, Artemisia Bell Ashcroft also lost memories of her time during DEM and awakened months later. When she was speaking with Ryouko, she said she can't remember anything related to DEM as if she had awaken from a dream. Even so, she stated she could remember fighting Origami in space. Since she left DEM she was attending university and studying psychology with her friends of Special Sorcery Service. Ironically, Milly, one of DEM's engineers working to AST in Tenguu City also stated to have lost memories of joining DEM and questioned why she would join a company full of villains; Milly was a low engineer with small importance in the company so it's unknown why Westcott would install a Realizer in her brain as well.

Consequently, after his death that also lead to the demise of Mio Takamiya, the First Spirit he created, all Spirits ceased to exist, returning the sealed Spirits becoming normal humans again and living a normal life in the Japanese town of Tenguu City. In the same town, Ellen Mira Mathers who had forgot everything about Westcott, got a pity job at Ratatoskr and was replacing Reine’s old job as deputy teacher at Raizen High School. Due to her new job, now she has to deal with the Aii, Mai Mii trio that sexually harass her on a daily basis.

Days later, Shido thought he could revive Tohka using the Spirit Formula, books and reports of Westcott he wrote 31 years ago but for Kurumi it was just an empty idea. In the first place, Isaac Westcott was the only person in the world to arrive at the Spirit Formula. The basic theory behind this technique was not known even to his former comrades. In other words, the Spirit Formula was impossible to be reproduced after his death. It became a so-called lost technology, making the revival or creation of any further Spirit impossible.

However, it turns out Tohka was later brought back to life thanks to the machinations of the Will of the World, a fragment of Phantom [Reine Murasame] that continued watching over the world, who allowed an alternative version of Tohka called Beast to travel to another parallel Earth where she met her redemption by meeting Shido and returning to her senses. After Beast returned to her world, she met the Kurumi Tokisaki of her world that offered her a chance to undo the timeline she destroyed and revert everything back to normal to a place where she could avoid Shido's death by the hands of Westcott. The aftermatch is not shown but it is implied Tohka accepted the offer and changed her timeline with the help of Kurumi, thus avoiding the Bad End.

After the battle of Beast against the Sealed Spirits, the mana created by their combat in the planet was enough to bring Tohka back to life in the physical world that was said to be impossible. As Shido was walking down a path he once walked together with Tohka and Tenka in the past, he meet a girl and ask for her name, the girl revealed to be Tohka Yatogami, a person whose name was given by a precious person. With Tohka revived, the DEM falling, the Spirits gone and the destruction of all Realizers that became a fundamental technology of humanity, the world was now finally at peace and free from all evil brought by Westcott forever.

## Author's Official Description

“ Elliot: Perhaps that may be right on the mark. Ike was always steadfast, though that might be why he's such a treacherous person. Think about it. What'd happen if he were to wait inside a room full of nuclear warheads button with only curiosity plaguing his exuberant mind? Karen: I couldn't imagine how dreadful that'd be. He's literally a psychopath. „ ~ Elliot Baldwin Woodman and Karen Nora Mathers about Westcott.

*The twisted managing director of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries. He is around 30 years old and a tall man with dark ash blond hair and sharp eyes. He seems to know more than he lets on, such as the knowledge of Tohka's transformed state, as well as Shido's past. All of DEM's elite wizards refer to him with -sama, fanatically loyal, and willing to do terrible acts just because he said so. Considering Mana's amnesia before she joined DEM, headaches whenever she tries to remember the past, and respect for Westcott even after finding out what was done to her there is a possibility that brainwashing, conditioning, and/or a Realizer used to make them so loyal to him alone. Such as when Adeptus 3 was hesitant about a mission to capture Tohka that would expose their equipment to the public and create numerous civilian casualties just to slap Ratatoskr's face rather than use a plan to minimize both, such as the original plan on the island where the Yamai twins appeared. Yet she and the others were going ahead with it without reservation simply because Westcott said it would be for "humanities' greater good." Isaac himself has shown little care, much less humanity, in his thinking as long as his goals are realized. Whether it is discussing ways to break Tohka's spirit through torture with the same manner and care one would discuss the weather, or the loss of life and DEM property when Tohka snapped, he never showed any sign or thought of guilt, despair, sorrow or grief, but was happy that she inverted as if nothing else mattered.*

*Westcott grew up in a town of mages who could use sorcery along with Woodman and Ellen. However, civilians who feared the power of mages scorched their village. This event caused a change in Westcott. This became the first step to the creation of DEM. The trio spent their youths learning everything they could about sorcery, leading to the foundation in creating a Spirit, a being of immense power born from the mana of the world which they could use to achieve their goal. Around the same time, Westcott was adopted by a rich couple, but, ended up dying in an accident, leaving their entire fortune to Westcott. Afterward, he gained a desire to create a utopia, one with only mages living in it.*

## Other appearances

### *Ars Install*

In the game *Ars Install*, Westcott is the overarching antagonist manipulating all events behind the scenes. He is the man responsible for creating Marina Arusu, also know as **Unknown**, alongside with his assistant, Ellen Mira Mathers. Marina Arusu was a sentient-virus (with self-consciousness) by Westcott to watch over Ratatoskr and hack the program of the Fraxinus. He was also nicknamed by Marina; In the Marina route, she called her creator as "*Otoo-san*", from the Japanese means "*Daddy*". Marina shows her loyalty to Isaac in the very end.

### *Rio Reincarnation*

He is mentioned several times by Marina Arusu, who was later revived by Rinne's daughter, Rio Sonogami. Most of his mentions were how love doesn't exist in people without heart. At one point, Marina called Westcott a loveless and heartless man who only cares about his own purposes.

### *Seha Vs. Dark Tohka*

In the mini Korean-manga adaptation, Westcott appears as the Bigger Bad and the main antagonist. He succeeded in awakening the Demon King in Tohka, however, in this adaptation, he created an artificial Spirit called **Seha** and forced him to fight to the death with the Demon King.

While Seha and Dark Tohka were fighting, millions of people were killed in the process, and the entire city was completely destroyed. Westcott insanely laughed as he watched the fight between Seha and Dark Tohka. Even if the fight between two super-powerful Spirits were killing thousands and thousands of innocent, Westcott saw it only as a bonus for his own amusement. Even Ellen, who was next to him, was disgusted with his attitude.

After Seha's defeat, Westcott escapes with Ellen and Dark Tohka, who suffered brainwash thanks to the Realizer he installed in her brain. Soon afterwards, Westcott decided to get rid of all witnesses and order his commander to explode the Realizers of all his Wizards fighting outside of the building, finishing off thousands of his soldiers.

### *Mayuri Judgment Film*

Isaac is indirectly mentioned by Kotori in the film when she thought that "the Giant Ball of Mana" flying over Tenguu City was his work.

### *Spirit Pledge's Chineseverse*

Westcott is set to appear in the 2018 Chinese game, *Spirit Pledge*, as the overarching antagonist behind all evil forces appearing in the game. Unlike Ellen Mira Mathers, who is a playable character, Westcott will be a non-playable character.

The story follows the same plot line of the original series, but Westcott seems to have more involvement in the story. In his early actions, Westcott seems to send entire battalions of children from AST to attack the Spirits in public places in suicidal missions.

### *Danmachi Memoria Freese - Ais Catastrophe Crossover*

*Main Article: Kaguya Ray Peram Westcott*

Westcott is mentioned multiples times by Shido and other Spirits who are teleported to the world of *Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?* (*Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?*).

When Bell asks what caused humanity to go after the Spirits, Shido replies saying it was a man known as Westcott who started the persecution of Spirits by manipulating the world's governments, even more saying he was the scariest of all totalitarians of the world. Another time he was mentioned by Shido, was when there was someone in his world that was worse than AST as he was someone with malicious intentions and abused the Spirits for decades. In addition, he was indirectly blamed for causing the Spirits to be teleported to Danmachi's world.

## Powers and Abilities

### Mage

* **Authority**: It may not seem like a power, but his authority is one of his worst weapons while acting as the DEM director. He has control about any kind of authority on Earth (being the only person in the world able to create Realizer). Westcott is considered one of the most important people in the world by the fact that he is the only person who can manufacture Realizers and arm all nations of the world. With his authority, he can do whatever he wants with any human on Earth to the point he can commit any war crime without punishment. Westcott's orders also reach the military forces of the world, giving him temporary emergency powers over the security and defense forces of the world.
* **Magical-Technology**: Isaac Westcott can use magic created through technology and Spirit's mana however, he never used it in direct combat. He uses it just in case he really needs to, during the transformation of Dark Tohka he used magic to teleport to somewhere. It's unknown if he knows offensive magic.
* **Gifted Orator**: The main asset of Westcott is his ability to inspire his troops with enthusiastic speeches. It can take almost any situation and turn it into a speech that will strengthen the morale of his soldiers and Wizards for their next operation or mission.
* **DEM Wizards**: DEM Wizards are trained (or brainwashed) to be psychopaths who loyally obey him, so they would give their life to his cause because he ordered. Wizards are skilled humans who have undergone training and usually have an implant to manipulate the territories coming from their CR-Unit. Even though Most Wizards are under DEM Industries, other countries also have developed their own version under their military forces. They are usually capable of various feats such as flying and creating barriers. The extent of this ability is determined by the properties of the territories they can produce. Advanced technology can be fatal to Wizards as it places a heavy strain on their bodies. Some Wizards have undergone surgeries to alter their bodies in order to strengthen their usage of the Realizer. However, such procedures can shorten one's lifespan. The DEM Wizards are the most prepared and well-trained soldiers of the world and were trained to serve Westcott until their last breath, making them their honor-guards.
* **Bandersnatch**: The private army of Westcott is mostly composed of Bandersnatch robots (or droids). A DEM humanoid doll or robot equipped with a Realizer that must be linked to a larger Realizer unit for it to function. They use directly magic cannons links to their hands, with power enough to destroy heavy vehicles and tanks. The army is composed by hundreds of thousands of droids, enough to conquer a nation.
* **Master Strategist**: Westcott is an effective planner and strategist, developing complex plans to achieve his goals for over half a century. He accounts for the personalities and usual mannerisms of allies and enemies alike and never takes anything for granted - notably, he considers Shido to be high-priority threat simply because he knows little about his capabilities.
* **Torture Knowledge**: These "weapons" are used by Westcott almost in everything he does or says. Also one of his fetishes. Most of his soldiers had been formed on the basis of the fear, as seen in episode 4 of season 2 when James was showing fear in returning to D.E.M with empty hands. Westcott tortures his soldiers in the cruelest ways possible for their failures, such as psychological torture, depriving them of oxygen and/or rape.

### Inverse Spirit

When Nia Honjou went into her Inverse Form, Artemisia Ashcroft was able to extract her Qlipha Crystal (inverse Spirit form's crystal) from her body and gave it to Isaac Westcott. He then bonded with it in his chest, giving him all the powers of Nia's Inverse Form (at least half of them thanks to her near-inversion state).

One of the powers he gained is an ability to summon Nia's Demon King, *Beelzebub*, a book with basically the same powers as Nia's Angel, *Rasiel*. The book can give a person information about a subject just by thinking about it, as shown when Westcott found out about Shidou changing the past during *Tobiichi Devil* events and can alter the future, though only for a few seconds max. However, unlike *Rasiel*, it has also shown to have the ability to summon shadow-like creatures from its pages. However, Nia's Inverse Form was in incomplete form because of Shido's intervention.

* **Demon King**: Beelzebub; "Tome of Divine Corruption". It can transfer information about a subject directly into his mind if he just thinks about it, as shown when Westcott found out about Shido changing the past during the events of Tobiichi Devil, and he can freely share this information with others just by simply touching them. It can also summon shadow-like creatures from its pages that follow his every command.

However, since Nia's Inverse Form was in an incomplete state (because of Shido's intervention) only a part of her Qlipha Crystal was extracted. As a result, Westcott's Beelzebub is also in an incomplete state, implying that the Demon King is not as powerful as it was, and/or does not have all the powers it had when Nia was using it.

Beelzebub still has a connection to Nia's angel Rasiel, as the two used to be two sides of the same embodiment. As a result, Nia can sabotage Beelzebub by interfering with its information network, which she has used to further weaken the Demon King. Also, Nia states that, like Raisel, Beelzebub is incapable of predicting the future or reading a person's inner thoughts.

So far the Demon King owned by Westcott, Beelzebub, has shown to have the following ability:

* **Ashufiriya**: Traps the target(s) into the book and transports them into an adjacent world created by Beelzebub. According to Nia, the world is created by various scenarios made by people's dreams and imagination. The people imprisoned assume the roles of fairy tale and manga characters, though several alterations might be made to the source material. While trapped within the fantasy world, other Spirits are unable to use their Angels.
* **Nibelcol or Daughters of the Demon King**: Summons various soldiers from Beelzebub's pages, all of whom bare a striking resemblance to Marina Arusu. However, due to Beelzebub's connection with Rasiel, the Nibelcol has a significant weakness despite their great numbers. Because Shido still has Nia's affections, he is able to seal the Nibelcol with a kiss, causing them to revert back into paper and fade away into light particles.

He's a protector of infants and the guardian of Those Who Died Nameless and Forgotten, and he can open the way to Da'ath, the Qliphoth, Valhalla, or any astral plane the magician desires– including parallel universes.

A'athiel can strengthen the personal magnetism of the witch and make her a much better lay. He can open the magickian to her true sexuality. He can help the witch cast the perfect circle or otherwise construct the perfect sacred space, and he can bring about the full manifestation of the four elements.

Athiel can engender gnosis of the Higher Self and engender a unique blossoming of the Soul Star Chakra (empowerment of the first transpersonal chakra). He can purify the minor chakras of the body, including the astral eyes and ears.

A'athiel presides over the third veil before Samael known variously as Chasek or Chashakh, being the Qliphothic emanation equivalent to Ain Soph Aur. Chashakh, which name means "Darkness", awaits beyond the last sphere of the left pillar of the Qliphoth– that is to say, behind and before Satariel (Saturn/Lucerifuge). The warlike demonic emissaries of Chashakh are the most violent and dangerous of the emissaries of any of the three veils, and Chasek is the closest of the veils to the Qliphothic Tree.

Othiel is traditionally recorded to manifest as a bloated, black, and horrid creature described as anthropomorphic and insectoid, and it is said that his breadth is greater than his width. He appeared to me in a vision as a 9-foot-tall werewolf with a crown of fire, carrying a primitive axe in his left hand and a platinum-or-silver-looking sceptre in his right hand.

The name "A'athiel" means "Uncertainty of God", which I reinterpret as "God of Ambiguity". An alternate translation of the name renders "Weakness, But Strength Through Struggle".

#### A'athiel's Powers

A'athiel *(Gokushi Saidan, lit. Altair of Extreme Death*) is considered as the evil counterpart of Ain Soph Aur of Mio Takamiya (since the user is a person of pure evil). A'athiel is a Demon King with a physical organic body, it manifests as a demonic flower that emits particles of darkness rather than light (one that is used by Mio).

A'athiel's particles of blackness are used as small drops of water that comes out of a rain of darkness that corrupts living beings that are touched by the particles. It also can be used as "needles" of darkness that pierce through the body of the enemy, melting them to the bones.

### Inverse Spirit of Origin 2 - Qemetiel

#### Qemetiel

Qemetiel, Belial, and A'athiel comprise the **Threefold Emanation** from the Abyss which engendered the manifestation of the Nightside Palace of Deathful Wombs and are considered to be the Qliphothic equivalents of the Christian Trinity which engendered the manifestation of the Sephiroth. While Belial is rightly venerated as one of the foremost divinities of Western black magic, the other members of this trinity are largely disregarded even in modern Qliphothic esotericism. I would ask the reader to think of how much Belial has offered her in her black magical endeavors, and posit that Qemetiel and A'athiel inevitably warrant equivalent veneration to him.

Qemetiel presides over the First of the Three Trans-Qliphothic Veils which stand as a Trinity above the Pillars of the Qliphoth between the Tree of Death and Knowledge and the Primordial Abyss wherein Samael, the Penultimate Face of the Devil, is said to preside and rule. His Veil stands above Thaumiel and is referred to in Hebrew as Tohu, a Hebrew word translating to "Formless", "Chaos", and "Desolation". He gives much tutelage regarding acts of violence, insurrection, murder, war, and drug dealing. He can impart whatever book smarts and street smarts the witch desires and present voluminous instruction in magic and witchcraft.gendered the manifestation of the Nightside Palace of Deathful Wombs and are considered to be the Qliphothic equivalents of the Christian Trinity which engendered the manifestation of the Sephiroth. While Belial is rightly venerated as one of the foremost divinities of Western black magick, the other members of this trinity are largely disregarded even in modern Qliphothic esotericism.

As a Divinity of the Nightside Veils beneath the Devil of the Abyss, Qemetiel stands elevated in station beyond Chavajoth (the Azerate). The name Qemetiel is generally translated to English as "God of Crowns", but I believe a speculative retranslation is in order for the purposes of Qliphothic esotericism. "God of Crowns" appears to make less sense, in light of my gnosis of Qemetiel, than the translation "Crown of Divinity".

The numerical value of Qemetiel is 190, which corresponds to a Hebrew word signifying the rib of Adam. It also corresponds to a Hebrew word meaning "Pearl", and while this word is held to be a title of the Sephirothic Sphere of the Earth, the word "Pearl" is often used as a moniker for the Philosopher's Stone. By comparing these two correspondences, we can infer that the number 190 relates to the spark of divinity which is intrinsic to humankind – or at least the feminine polarity of it. After all, Malkuth and Eve are both feminine. As the Qliphoth is considered to be of a primarily female polarity, this is a sensible inference.

#### Qemetiel's Powers

* Qemetiel or ■■■, is the evil counterpart of Mio's main angel, Ain. Unlike the real Ain, the powers of Qemetiel are polar opposite of the former that creates life and creation.

* Westcott summons a demonic void without a physical form capable of illuminating the entire world with darkness instead of light, this darkness covers the entire world into eternal darkness, causing the planet to die without solar light;
* Erase whomever or whatever Westcott desires from reality, abstract elements like colors, oxygen, living beings of the existence, human memories, light, planets, stars and even entire galaxies;

### Inverse Spirit of Origin 3 - Belial

#### Belial

After having success in stealing the power of Mio Takamiya, Westcott finally becomes the Spirit of Origin, which means he gained the power over all Spirits and Angels of Kallabah, the tree of Life. However, apparently due to his dark nature, Westcott gained power over Qliphoth, the tree of Death. It's demonic tree capable of distorting the laws of reality within its boundary.

Since the corruption of Mio's power was conducted by his dark nature, the power of Ain (Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof), in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual realm, probably derived from Ibn Gabirol's term, "the Endless One". Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity), was Inverted to Belial, which means the personification of all evil in the existence, the Devil.

Belial is a term occurring in the Hebrew Bible which later became personified as the devil in Jewish and Christian texts. Belial is a powerful demon existed before Satan and pandered to the needs of the perverts, atheists, the worthless, occultists, or anyone with a disturbed soul. According to the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls, Belial, or the King of Evil, was responsible for bringing wickedness to man. Among certain sections of the Jews, this demon was considered the chief of all the devils.

The word "Belial" means worthless in Hebrew, and later came to represent the personification of the devil. In the Old Testament of the bible, the word tends to be used to describe a class of people, for instance, the sons of Belial. The New Testament introduces Satan as the ruler of evil, but prior to that, Belial was said to be his predecessor. In demonology, he is one of Satan's most notable demons sources recount.

"Belial" is applied to ideas, words, and counsel to calamitous circumstances and most frequently, to worthless men of the lowest sort, such as men who would induce worship of other gods; those of Benjamin who committed the sex crime at Gibeah; the wicked sons of Eli; insolent Nabal; opponents of God's anointed, David; Rehoboam's unsteady associates; Jezebel's conspirators against Naboth; and men in general who stir up contention. Indicating that the enemy power would no longer interfere with the carrying out of true worship by his people in their land, YHWH declared through his prophet: "No more will any worthless person pass again through you. In his entirety, he will certainly be cut off.".

#### Devil's Powers

* **Immortallity**: For being the master of Belial, the chief of all demonic forces, Westcott was granted with immortality and could no longer be killed by magic, man-made weapons and other sources of energy like light, darkness, water, electricity and many other elements of nature. As an immortal being, Westcott can regenerate even if he is in pieces, can revive as many times as he wants and can easily decide the death of all living beings just by touching them (Spirits seems to be immune). Aside from his immortal state, he can live forever and can't be killed by other sources like diseases and natural death. He requires no sustenance, and cannot be harmed by mortal means. Only the power of Kallabah or divine entities are capable of doing him harm.
* **Extrasensory**: Westcott has senses that are not only sharper than a mortal's, affording his abilities such as perfect accuracy, but he has abilities that they completely lack. In particular, he possesses a 'third-eye' which allows him to see things from far, far distances. Though he never uses it to do so, he can likely see through things that fool human eyes.
* **Teleportation**: Westcott uses this often for quick appearances or escapes. Westcott can teleport everywhere, as he is everywhere not nowhere at the same time. However, this is limited as he can teleport only inside of a planet.
* **Death Predation**: This usage of this spell creates a dark wave that kills everything in the Westcott's immediate vicinity.
* **Supernatural Physicality**: Westcott could alter his physical capabilities to virtually any level he needed or wanted due to his magical shape-shifting abilities. He has manifested superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and senses. No parameters or upper limits were established regarding these capabilities.
* **Universal-Rewriting**: By a far point, his strongest and most dangerous ability. Summoning the Belial demon, Westcott can destroy the laws of the existence and break through space and time to create a universe he is imagining. While Belial is active, it will quickly break into the barriers of the universe and recreate a new world that its master is asking for. While it's unknown, but this ability can create entire worlds where all life doesn't exist. If Westcott asks for it, he can create a universe where all life and creation never existed, thus bringing everything to emptiness.

* However, with great powers, comes weakness. Due to the immense power of Belial, Westcott has little control over it and can easily lose command over his demon. If anything happens while to him while he is commanding Belial, he might lose control over his mana, causing his power to go berserk and end in a worldwide explosion that would destroy the planet Earth (or even the solar system but it's capacity is unknown). However, his weakness is available only for Spirits, who are directly connected to Kabbalah. Other sources like demons, angels and other paranormal forces can't harm him.

## Westcott's Introductions

Throughout the story, Westcott has always received numerous introductions when he firstly appeared in a Volume or in a chapter.

### Volume 5

* ***1st Appearance*** - "Seeing the face of discomfort and his puzzled voice, Origami turned behind and took a glance. Over there, a man was standing, accompanied by a girl who appeared to be a secretary. He was a tall man wearing a jet black suit. His hair was dark ash blond, and he had a pair of sharp eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face. His age should around 30 years old, yet, he was a mysterious man that gave off a feeling that of being an experienced veteran. Seeing that man's face, and hearing Kritani saying that person's name, Origami moved her eyebrows a little."

### Volume 6 and 7

* ***2nd Appearance*** - "In the suite room of the top floor in the Imperial hotel located at the west side of Tenguu city, Isaac Westcott sat down while sighing. He raised his chin while slightly flicking the tip of his dark ash blonde hair, and further narrowed his eyes which looked like sharpened blades."

* ***3rd Appearance*** - "Of course, Jessica wasn't someone who kills for pleasure. It was not like she does not feel any sympathy toward the considerable number of casualties that will appear from her own attacks. But, that slight sentimental feeling was completely erased by the sweet sound of Westcott's orders which imply capturing the spirits is for the greater good. Right now, Jessica only recognizes the stage audience as a group of potatoes or pumpkins."
* ***4th Appearance*** - "A few seconds later, the wall cracked as before, and a door opened. And from there entered a man. He was a tall, thin man. His most striking feature was his silver hair and sharp eyes that looked like they were carved into his face with a dagger. Closely between the ages of 35, a dangerous, dark and evil aura around him, masking his true age. When the man entered the room, Tohka felt a strange feeling of unease. It was not because Ellen had spread her Territory. But for some unknown reason, the moment Tohka saw that man, she felt as if the temperature dropped several degrees."
* ***4.5th Appearance*** - "Even though he shouted, it seemed she could not hear his voice from there. Most likely, its structure was the same as the one Fraxinus had. Then that meant, there should be a way to enter that area by fiddling with something from this side. He moved his sight in the room. ---and. At that moment, Shidou stopped. Inside the research block he thought was empty, there was one man, sitting on a chair while facing his back towards Shidou and Miku. The man's voice echoed softly before he stood up from the chair. He then faced towards Shidou and Miku in a casual manner. He had a dull ash blonde hair and a tall body. His raptor-like sharp eyes was also characteristic. Shidou slightly raised his eyebrows, when he saw his face and heard his name. Yes. Isaac Westcott, DEM industries management board director. If anyone watched TV, read newspaper and net news, it was probably a name they had heard of at least once."

### Volume 8

* ***5th Appearance*** - "All of them were board members of this DEM Company. Everyone was sitting at a giant elliptical table and were flipping through the documents on their hands while making the same difficult face. Nonetheless, it was also something not impossible. Everyone one of them should have already received reports from here and there. And even the documents on their hands had the situation written in details. Nonetheless naturally, it's not like everyone who was there was making that face. On the chair placed the furthest back of the room. Over there one man sitting calmly. He had a jet-black suit covering his body. A young man around the age of his mid-thirties. As if looking over the meeting, his unpleasant eyes that expressed darkness were peeking from the gap of his dark grey bangs. Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott. He was the DEM company's which was exactly the topic of discussion right now."

### Volume 9

* ***6th Appearance*** - "Having finished the remaining simple business inside the private jet, Isaac Westcott came out from the VIP entrance of the airport and rode the car waiting for him before heading towards the lodging area in Japan's Tokyo metropolitan Tenguu city's hotel. He was a characteristic tall man with dark ash blonde hair and a pair of sharp eyes like naked blades. His age should be around in his mid-30 but, the dangerous atmosphere covering his body was disrupting the appropriateness of his age. At the least, he was somewhat too young to be burdened with a world class enterprise known as DEM industry---------such an impression was probably impossible to someone unless they have met with him directly."

### Volume 10

* ***7th Appearance*** - "It was a young man around his mid-thirties. He has dark ash blonde hair and blade sharp eyes. His eyes filled with darkness could make the people facing him feel an indescribable anxiety. Sir Isaac Rey Peram Westcott. He was the managing director of the huge world famous company, DEM industries."

### Volume 12

* ***7.5th Appearance*** - "In a room in the DEM industry Japan branch, the managing director-Isaac Westcott made a small sighs. He's a man in his mid-thirties with characteristics blade sharp eyes and dark ash blond hair. He wore a darkness black suits that shows no gaps and was looking down at the documents scattered about on the desk."

### Volume 13

* ***8th Appearance*** - "The man is being assisted by an ash blonde haired woman whose appearance could attract every man. Her facial expression is as sharp as a sword which would cut them down, making those two fall into silence with their faces getting paler. That man's appearance looks young. It seems like he's in the middle of thirties. But why does this young appearance suit with him despite his age? He doesn't looks like a middle age man at all. Actually, this year Knox is 48 years old, so you can say that this man's age is younger than him. Of course that's only natural. The person over there isn't an ordinary man. He's a man whose name is famous in the world as a world genius financial monster from DEM Industry, its first generation founder: Sir Isaac Westcott."

* ***9th Appearance*** - "Suddenly, Shidou could sense something dangerous and turned his glance to a certain direction. Perhaps it was because his senses were sharpened from using a Spirit's Reiryoku. Or else, it's all because the presence of that person over there is way too bizarre to the point that he couldn't ignore it. Though he wasn't sure what it is--------But there's a [Foreign] existence that slipped in between them who wasn't here until just now. He knew and felt that person's presences clearly. It's not only Shidou; all Spirits who were present there also pointed their gazed towards the same direction. While being looked by everyone, that man was walking slowly towards Artemisia and Nia. He was a man with ash-blonde hair and wearing a black suit. Shidou looked at that man with a surprised gaze. Isaac Ray Peram Westcott."

* ***10th Appearance*** - "At the moment, Shidou felt that the Spirits choking at the same time. The malice that he felt since the first time they previously faced Westcott began to expand. This man can't be described as cruel or brutal. He can only be defined as ------ [**Abnormal**]."

### Volume 14

* ***11th Appearance*** - "Peering inside, they could see a man sitting on a chair in the room. He had an impaling pair of eyes under a dark ashen hairline - alongside a floating pitch-black book at hand. He was the renowned ruler of this company - Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, in person."
* ***12th Appearance*** - "Westcott intently stared at the pitiful wizard, like a predator hunting its prey. The unfortunate girl's facial expression instantly paled, and she hurriedly shook her head insubordination."
* ***13th Appearance*** - "Lingering amidst the white smoke was a man wearing black Western-style clothes and a wizard equipped with a CR-unit. The two leisurely walked out of the mist."

### Volume 16

* ***14th Appearance*** - "Ellen came to an abrupt standstill, having detected that beyond the door lingered an unwanted presence. Despite Westcott possessing an air of intimidation that the majority of commoners nowhere near did, the roiling presence a meager doorstep away distilled a unique ambiance. As if——yes, as if a horde of horrors awaited them both with hushed breaths."
* ***15th Appearance*** - "The moment Ellen got up, the door flew open as a man came into the room. The man gave the impression that all of the world's darkness had compacted itself into a human shape. He has dusky ash colored hair and a pair of eyes resembling metallic rust. Although he looked about thirty years old, the oozing sense of intimidation and dread he was emitted wouldn't match that assumption. Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, the king of magicians who had established DEM within a single generation."

### Volume 17

* ***16th Appearance*** - "And from the very back of the group──a very prominent man came to the forefront. It was a tall man who was about 20 years old. He was characterized by dim silver hair and rusty eyes. Although his expression and behavior were very gentle, his body was emitting the strange atmosphere that he couldn't completely hide."

### Volume 18

* ***17th Appearance*** - "As if to confirm his premonition, a man came out from the shadow of the rubble. Dim ash-gray hair and eyes with a dull metallic hue, there was a strange threatening atmosphere coming from him that was different from confronting a Spirit or Wizard. Yes, he was the executive director of DEM industries and the starting point for this battle. The first man that started the conflict over the Spirits."
* ***18th Appearance*** - "The sweat dripping down his cheeks reached his lips, causing a salty taste to spread in his mouth. Shidou didn't dare to loosen his guard as the eyeballs in his eye sockets orbited around to scrutinize the nearby surroundings. There was an innumerable amount of Nibelcol paper in their vicinity. And at the very end──a man who personified darkness quietly stood there. Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott. The head of DEM industries and the enemy of Ratatoskr, And also──the man who brought Spirit into this world 30 years ago alongside Elliot and Ellen, providing the impetus for the current battle. No──not only that. Shidou glared at Westcott with a glare brimming with animosity. For Shidou who had regained the memory of "Shin" now, this man was the subject for the clear hatred of killing him and kidnapping Mana."

### Volume 19 (final)

* ***19th Appearance*** - "The man over there had dusky blonde hair reminiscent of abandoned metal and a pair of eyes reflected with a rusted hue. Throughout the vicissitudes of life, to old age, to the end of prosperity──this man gave the impressing of such a thing. Isaac Westcott. An inheritor of the mysteries and a blood descendent of the magicians──the man who establish DEM within a single generation."
* ***20th Appearance*** - "The market values of European enterprises were ranked from top to bottom. Despite the subtle variations depending on the year, DEM would never fallout from the single digits. DEM──Deus Ex Machina Industries. This super organization was involved in a wide range of developmental projections including the manufacturing of arms, aircraft, vehicles, ships, space development, semiconductors, electronic equipment, fiber industry and even travel agencies. Furthermore, the enterprise, with its wide range of affiliated companies and R&D projects, can be said that half of the residents of European countries lived under its grace. However, even that number did not consider taking into consideration the real developmental result behind DEM──the Realizer Manifestation Device and the accompanying CR-Unit. In other words, that was just the tip of the iceberg. A private enterprise that had enough wealth to buy a small country and possessed the means of turning such behavior into reality. Like its name suggested, it was an overwhelming and tyrannical grey giant. The castle built by the Magician Isaac Westcott."
* ***21th Appearance*** - "On the bridge of one of the DEM ships sailing the skies, Westcott was listening to various reports from the fleet through the loudspeaker. Even though he was at the forefront, there weren't any emotions of tension or frustration marked on his expression. The corners of his mouth distorted into an elegant form as his fingertips would occasionally tap rhythmically to the surface of his black suit. It was almost like he was enjoying an afternoon holiday while relaxing to his favorite songs."
* ***22th Appearance*** - "The mechanical monster appeared throughout the city not warned by the spacequake alarm. This was an unusual scene. Just as the Spirits were confidential, the Realizer manifestation device controlling the Bandersnatch was not something made publically available. To think of exposing them to the general public and using them to harm civilians, no sane person would ever implement that. Even for a colossal superpower like DEM, it would be impossible to achieve this perfect endgame. No──perhaps they didn't even consider about the necessities of the aftermath. From this possibility, Shidou felt an illusion of his heart being cornered. As Shidou felt a shudder, a voice other than screams reached the speaker. Extremely calm, as if finding pleasure despite everything occurring──a male voice that if heard again would incense one's nerves beyond relief. No mistake. DEM's managing director, Isaac Westcott."
* ***23th Appearance*** - "Since this was an empty space without any obstructions to his sight, he quickly located them. But the problem was──it wasn't just Ellen and Mana there. Several girls floating outside of Fraxinus smiled while echoing with a voice lacking the slightest degree of tension. After recognizing them, Shidou couldn't help but call out their name. Yes──Nibelcol. The pseudo-Spirits made through a combination of the Demon King Beelzebub and DEM's technology. As the waves of laughter broke down, two more people came forward. One of them was Artemisia Ashcroft, a Wizard of DEM just like Ellen. The other person was──the head of DEM and the holder of the jet-black book, Isaac Westcott himself."
* ***24th Appearance*** - "Ellen, who left the battlefield carrying Westcott in a Voluntary Territory, constantly called out to him while applying hemostasis, pain relief, and accelerated healing. Westcott's wounds were definitely fatal injuries, but it was a different matter when the person carrying him was the World's Strongest Wizard. Although it was not as powerful as the Medical Realizer Apparatus, Ellen's delicately woven Territory can still block his wounds to an extent. Even so, that was just the physical aspects. Even if the wound healed well, no one knew if he would wake up again after losing consciousness. In order to not let this happen, Ellen continued to call out for Westcott."
* ***25th Appearance*** - "Two DEM Wizards appeared on the other side of the sky, Ellen Mathers and Artemisia Ashcroft. Kotori's face stained in shock as she confirmed the identities of those two. Then, as if to match that, a third voice echoed from somewhere. Then from that shadow, the figure of a person clad in light slowly stepped forward. ──With a bloodstain left behind on his chest, Isaac Westcott emerged. Westcott laughed as if to respond to that outcry. And then it came out──the words that herald ruin."
* ***26th Appearance*** - "Shidou's voice began to shudder as he heard what Mio had just said. As Shidou raised his voice to a scream, Mio and Reine nodded at the same time. Being told of the worst case scenario, Shidou instinctively made a sullen face. The goal that Westcott had spoken of in the future world flashed in his mind. ──Obtain the power of the Spirit of Origin and overwrite the world. To be honest, he didn't comprehend what that meant when he first heard that. But now──after experiencing this space created by Mio, he could at last understand. If Westcott had the same power to create this space and if this space grew large enough to cover the entire world──it would certainly merit the expression of overwriting the world. He didn't know what kind of world Westcott would try to create. However, Westcott once said, "This is a revenge against mankind". Then, in that world, it wouldn't be hard to imagine what would happen to people that weren't Magicians. Speaking of a new world was good enough, but the essence of this goal was genocide of all humans on reality. Naturally, this matter was unacceptable."
* ***27th Appearance*** - "In the darken sky where the setting sun had already vanished into the horizon, a brilliant radiance still remained. Like stars inlaid onto the night sky, the light swirled coiled and swirled as it converged onto a single point. A phantasmal sight as if coming from a dream. If one didn't know any better when gazing, surely it would undoubtedly be described as a God or perhaps an Angel. However, the expression of the Spirits watching on from the exterior of Fraxinus was not one of awe or adoration──but rather a look of trepidation and irritation. But such a response wasn't unwarranted. It wasn't a God at the center of the light, but the enemy of the Spirits, the magus Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott. Westcott's loud laughter resounded through the night sky."
* ***28th Appearance*** - "At the center of the swirling flow of mana───The Spirit・Mio and the Magus・Isaac Westcott faced each other. As Westcott noticed Mio's silhouette, he did not mind to wipe the blood around his mouth and instead just gave a smirk."
* ***29th Appearance*** - "The boundary between living and death is terribly ambiguous, depending on the judgment of each person to determine when death has arrived. Some people regard death as when cardiopulmonary functions cease, while others say that it is after the demise of all brain functions. Some people say that even if there is consciousness remaining, it is not necessary what the raw body contains as long as the heart of the person remains──then there is some form of existence left. Well, the last one might feel like escapist sentiments rather than a real definition. In an empty field of vision, Isaac Westcott was idly thinking about such a matters. ──If so, he wondered if he could still be considered living now? At the very least, cardiopulmonary functions had stopped. It was natural since the majority of his body had already disappeared. Although there was still some conscious thought left, it was uncertain if even his brain had retained its shape. He was just lying on the ground, watching the sky while waiting for his consciousness to stop. And so, while these thoughts still lingered, Westcott sneered at himself. Between people being alive or dead, he should be regarded as dead since a long time ago. Yes, as a human, Isaac Westcott was already dead. His humanity. He was a monster. What remained here was a wreckage of a pathetic Spirit barely retaining its existence through its reiryoku. His lingering consciousness was proof of having become such a form. A force of annihilation between an Angel and Demon King. Being involved at such a close range, this result was natural. There was no indication of Deus (Mio Takamiya) remaining. It seemed that she had disappeared a little earlier than Westcott. The truly loathing feeling of having been rejected in a double suicide, with that in mind, Westcott laughed again. Despite not knowing it himself, his facial features were still distorted in the shape of a smile. However, it was only a matter of time. Even as a Spirit, he wouldn't last much longer. Indeed, his consciousness began to dozy off as the pull of the Shinigami's hand grew closer. To bring his soul to Hell or a worse place."

### Volume 20 (post-death)

* ***30th Mention*** - "At the same time as realizing that, along with a slight headache, a memory appeared within Shidou’s mind. It was the memory of that battle. Isaac Westcott, who had gained the power of the Spirit of Origin through the Spirit Ceremony, and the Spirits that fought against him. In the process, Maria was able to gain physical form through the power of Nia’s Angel Rasiel. He remembered it being said that... after maintaining the state of controlling the output of power, Maria can remain materialized like this."
* ***31th Mention*** - "Isaac Westcott. Just hearing that name caused Shidou’s pulse to accelerate. The leader of DEM Industries and the Magician that began everything. The main culprit for the creation of Spirits. His goal was to 'rewrite' the world into a world for Magicians by using the power of the Spirits. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Shidou and the others had fought in order to stop that goal. In order to protect their world, Shidou and the Spirits choose to stand up against that powerful enemy."

### Volume 21 (post-death)

* ***32th Mention*** - "Since Shidou wasn’t at the scene at the time, the only heard the details after the fact──after the final battle a year ago, Ellen, who had lost Westcott, completely lost her memories and knowledge about DEM and Westcott after waking up from a coma. Although the reasons were unclear, after waking up Ellen showed no malice or hostility and was only happy to be reunited with Woodman and Karen."
* ***33th Mention*** - "Westcott arranged for Ellen to lose her memories at the same time as his death? Shidou frowned since this ran in contrary to that man’s usual style."
* ***34th Mention*** - "Nighttime, at the captain’s seat of the airborne ship Fraxinus which was 15,000 meters above Tenguu City, Kotori whispered while stirring the Chupa Chups stick in her mouth. Unlike her white sailor suit worn during daytime, she was now wearing military clothes dyed in a crimson hue. The ribbon tying her hair also changed from white to black. It was Fraxinus’s captain, Itsuka Kotori’s commander mode. However, since one year ago, the frequency of entering this mode and coming onboard Fraxinus had gradually decreased. But that was only natural. Around the same time one year ago, the Spirit of Origin disappeared and everyone lost their Reiryoku. Additionally, at the same time, Isaac Westcott, the leader of DEM and Ratatoskr’s enemy, had passed away. DEM, which had lost Westcott’s strong central pull and influence, was in the midst of internal strife even after a year due to the anti-Westcott factions. Of course, Kotori continued to despise their enemy, but grudges had no more meaning after their strength unavoidably weakened. In any case, Ratatoskr’s greatest goal of sealing the power of the Spirits and allowing them to live a normal life has basically been achieved. Of course, they would continue supporting everyone, so it wasn’t as if they would be unemployed. But since there was no appearance of any new Spirits and the fear of the reversal of Reiryoku was gone, it can be said that most of their urgent matters had already been completed."
* ***35th Mention*** - "The sound in anticipation of a Spacequake appearing──in essence it was an alarm reporting the arrival of a Spirit. For a least the past year, Shidou hasn’t heard this sound again. But that was natural. After all, there should be no more Spirits in this world that could cause a Spacequake. However, that fact was only known by those that witnessed the end of that battle last year. Residents in the neighborhood promptly evacuated into the shelter, surprised at not hearing the Spacequake alarm in such a long time. Several people ran past Shidou who was still stunned. Yes, that was the first possibility that Shidou had thought about. The Spacequake alarm did go off when a Spacequake has been detected. However, in the past DEM has also employed the usage of false alarms. However, DEM has now lost Westcott and fallen into internal strife. It didn’t make sense to give opposing forces another reason to antagonize them. What’s more, there are no Spirits left in today’s world, so there shouldn’t even be a reason for wanting to falsify an alarm."
* ***36th Mention*** - "Shidou’s face tensed up as he squeezed out his voice. Indeed, this idea was understandable. But it was just empty talk on paper. In the first place, Isaac Westcott was the only person in the world to arrive at the Spirit Formula. The basic theory behind this technique was not known even to his former comrades Woodman and Karen. In the other words, the Spirit Formula was impossible to be reproduced after his death. It became so-called lost technology. Of course, since Westcott was able to create a Spirit, the chances of someone else in the future reaching it wasn’t zero. However, for a non-magician like Kurumi mastering this method──"
* ***37th Mention*** - "Of course, Shidou understood that this shouldn’t happen. Mio, the Spirit of Origin, had disappeared and her Sephira Crystal vanished from existence. The technique of creating Spirits was lost, leaving there no room for any new Spirits. But. But── Shidou thought to himself. ──What if a genius magician comparable to Westcott reached the Spirit Formula? ──What if there was other Spirits because of a reason he didn’t know about? ──What if the mana that dissolved into the world reunited for some reason── His own thoughts nearly caused him to suffocate. If this was happen, what was going to manifest now──"

## Trivia

* Isaac Westcott is considered to be the darkest villain already created by Koushi Tachibana in his light novels. He also is considered the most evil of all villains from *Date A Live* and *Soukyuu no Karma*. He turns out to be worse when he is introduced to other fictional worlds when *Date A Live* is introduced in a new crossover. When compared to other villains from their respective worlds, Westcott is usually referenced as the "worst person" they have ever met. Bell Cranel, the main protagonist from the popular *Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?*, stated that Kaguya Westcott, the copycat of Westcott, was one "so this is what you call monster" in the Japanese version of the crossover, pointing Westcott as the most evil person Bell and his party ever faced when most of his enemies were monsters or had more limits in their cruelty. Following *Memoria Freese* crossover with *Date A Live*, a new crossover between *Danmachi* and *Goblin Slayer* was announced. In the crossover, Bell refered the Goblins as not being so different from the monsters he was used to slaughter at the dungeons even counting their perverted and rapist nature, yet they were much less worse compared to his "previous enemy". In *Spirit Pledge* crossover with *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, Misaka Mikoto, one of the most popular heroines in anime genre, also used the word "devil in person" to describe Westcott while Shirai Kuroko, the secondary protagonist of *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun*, describes Westcott as the "embodiment of humanity's evil itself". In most media outside of *Date A Live* canon where Westcott appear as an antagonist, he is always described to the most evil person they ever faced by their respective authors.

* As such, Kaguya Westcott, the Impostor and hidden antagonist of *Ais Catastrophe*, is the only villain from the entire franchise to have their own soul dragged to hell in *Danmachi*s universe. This is possibly a reference to Westcott's death in canon where is the only character to have experienced seen the Death God himself moments before his death, making his death more symbolic than any other character in the story.

* Despite being charismatic and charming when necessary, Westcott was quite anti-social and enjoyed being alone when Ellen was not around for him to tease her. Instead of being more active, Westcott spent most of his days inside of his office where no one could bother him.
* Westcott's eyes are considered to be rusted inorganic pieces of meat by other characters, scaring them off everytime they face Westcott directly. When they had the chance to describe the feeling, some thought his eyes gave the impression they were being reduced to nothing but animals while others felt the impression of death itself.
* In volume 19, Westcott's army of Bandersnatch are used in two references by both Mai and Ai. Ai refers his Bandersnatchs as having the design of a "hero of Justice", a straight reference to the tokusatsu superhero television series, Kamen Rider, that aired in 1971, being the first series of Kamen Rider franchise. However, when the robots were revealed to be evil, she called them "evil army corps" and demanded to take her to their great leader; now a straight reference to the main antagonistic faction of the series, Shocker and calling Westcott to be their great leader, aka, the Great Leader. Mai, on the other hand, thought they were robots from the future sent to kill her; indirectly calling Westcott as the Skynet and his robots as Terminators.
* Westcott is a very conservative person and dislike when other people touch his stuff and objects as seen when Kiritani used his smartphone to speak with the Japanese Minister of Defense Saeki.
* Westcott is considered one (if not *the*) of the most evil (as well as the most complex and bizarre) villains to ever date in Japanese's Light Novel media. However, due to the high popularity of female characters in the story (a popularity that exploded in Asia), he is considered to be an underrated antagonist. Moreover, he is considered to be one of the most complex and well-written villain of LN, mainly for being a man with the mentality of a normal and civilized human being, capable of love and affection but uses his relationships and positive emotions for his own pain-inducing pleasure where he can watch them suffer but also suffer at the same time.
* "Ike" is an abbreviated form of "Isaac" in Hebrew.
* It's unknown why he acquired the Inverse Form of Ain Sof when Westcott transferred the energy of Mio Takamiya, the First Spirit, to his body during the final battle considering Mio never went into Inverse Form but a popular theory suggested that the First Angel may be the mirror of the owner's heart. While Mio may be somewhat cruel, her intentions are pure yet dangerous and selfish while Westcott's heart is simply pure evil, confirming that no matter what, Westcott was a sinner and wicked person of the worst kind considering the creation of God Himself, who still declared Mio (a person who killed hundreds of children with the purification of the Sephirah Crystals) a pure and redeemable person. In the eyes of God, Westcott was a rotten soul to the core.
* Despite being called as insane, lunatic and crazy by many characters of the franchise, Westcott is later confirmed to be 100% sane, can fully feel empathy and love for other people, can feel sadness and sorrow for the death of his family and friends, is capable of feel "sorry" for the people he hurt and knows exactly the difference between right and wrong. This, however, only makes him even worse as he fully knows what he is doing is wrong. Westcott also claims he feels "bad" for the things he do, but always add how exciting it's to suffer and inflicting pain in other people, mostly allies who trusted in him and suffer from greater despair. In different points of the story, the author gave him sense of ethic, redeeming moments, humanity and numerous Freudian excuses to avoid him turning into a villain who just committed evil acts like if it was something normal as breathing, whom are 100% purely evil and do all types of brutality without remorse or even thinking like if they were all machines made to be evil. However, it only turned him even more heartless and monstrous as he continued to kick every single redeeming moments it was presented to him, from the day his dog died to the day he met his demise 39 years later. Even in his last moments, when he finally confessed he always considered Elliot to be his most beloved best friend, he was actually feeling pleasure from seeing Elliot, Karen and Ellen crying in sorrow because of him, giving him one last moment of happiness from seeing his best friends suffering because of his death.
* Westcott compares himself to a child searching for a toy in a shop or a man tidying up his appearance before going to meet his lover, which is why he can't understand why people continue to fight him as he is doing his best to achieve something. In this sense, he considers himself to be a normal person.
* Westcott has a bizarre and unusual sense of logic between "goal" and "hobby". While most of all villains in general have a goal in mind to fulfill their desires, Westcott actually consider his "hobbies" as being his true "plans". Westcott's ultimate goal to wipe out all humans, destroy the world's laws, rule the reality as a God and create a world for mages are actually only consequences of his actions (when it's obviously the inverse) while he consider the pain, death and destruction he will be causing as his true objectives, however, he never says his true intentions are actually to be cause mayhem probably to not cause distrust between him, Artemisia and Ellen. It can be said his plans are also only his secondary intentions while his hobbies of making people miserable, torturing Spirits, causing wars and destroying nations are actually his primary goals.
* Westcott is the only villain originated from Light Novels who has the longest arc known (from volume 5 to volume 19). Most of LN antagonists tend to appear in only one or three arcs to introduce worse threats in the future. The Greater-Scope Villains usually appear only in the final volumes of the story.
* Westcott is associated with the gray color in all aspects, including his own company, his suit and the DEM uniforms. In Bible, gray is an emotionless, moody color that is typically associated with meanings of dull, dirty, and dingy, as well as formal, conservative, and sophisticated. In addition, gray is a timeless and practical color that is often associated with loss or depression, emptiness, death and negative emotions.
* Despite a powerful mage, the novels never show him using any kind of magic form except for teleportation. As a child, Westcott was a genius in controlling magic's energy and could easily win in combat against adults. However, it may be something reasonable as he discarded magic to infiltrate in the human world as a normal person.
* Westcott's character draws certain parallels to Adolf Hitler: Hitler claimed that the "Aryan" (blond haired, blue eyed Germans) race was the superior of all races and wanted to purify the human race of "non-Aryan" races even though he himself was neither a native German citizen nor representative of the "ideal Aryan" or "Nordic" as presented in the National Socialist worldview. Westcott preached a philosophy of pure-blooded mages superiority over non-mages, humans in general but is half-blood himself (as he continues to be human biologically no matter what).
* Fictional magician characters such as Lord Voldemort and Gellert Grindelwald were used to compose Westcott's character, however, Westcott obviously has a better reason to exterminate the non-magicians as he directly suffered in the hands of said race while Voldermort and Gellert began their genocidal agenda by pure xenophobia. Tom Riddle and Gellert Grindelwald are two of the most feared Dark Wizards in *Harry Potter* universe, and curiously both Dark Wizards seek to establish a worldwide magician dictatorship to exterminate all muggles (humans with no access to magic) and half-blood Wizards since both consider them inferior to wizards and witches. Westcott has the same ideals, goals and views and share the same extend hatred to Muggle-borns (humans) as well, considering them to be unnecessary to the world. In addition, the three wizards are considered to be the most powerful Dark Wizards of their respective era and world. In other terms, Westcott is far more composed and cunning because he directly infiltrated in the human world, controlling the world of his victims for more than 30 years and leading them towards their destruction without declaring a direct war.
* Westcott's third demon king of Qliphoth, Qemetiel, is written as furigana over ■■■ rather than above any kanji.
* The three Demon King that Westcott has represents different negative and corrupt terms of Qliphoth.

* 000 - Tohu - Chaos: Qemetiel ("Crown of Gods").
* 00 - Bohu - Emptiness: Beliaal ("Without God").

* 0 - Chasek - Darkness: Aathiel ("Uncertainty").

* These "names" were created by the Temple of the Black Light, an satanic occult founded in 1995 that was considered criminal years later for murdering civilians in satanic rituals.
* The occult consist of the unified belief in "Chaosophy". They believe that Chaos is an infinidimensional and pandimensional plane of possibilities, in contrast to cosmos which only has three spatial dimensions and one linear time dimension. They also believe that, in comparison with the linear time of cosmos, chaos can be described as timeless in the way that it is not contained nor limited by one-dimensional time, and formless, because of its ever-changing and infinite number of space dimensions. Militant neo-gnosticism and nihilism is taught within the group and they say that the true Satanist must not be a part of the modern society, as it is founded upon lies. The very fabric of this reality is a lie that hinders chaos from realizing itself.
* These are the three dark veils before Satan, in their belief system seen as the three Forces that were expelled from Ain Sof in order to make way for the manifestation of the Black Light in the Outer Darkness that soon became Sitra Ahra: Qemetiel, Beliaal and Aathiel. These three powers can be seen as the Burning Trident held high above the Thaumielitan. These three powers can also be viewed as Wrathful Reflections of Ain, Ain Soaf and Ain Soaf Aur.

* The first Demom King that Westcott gained after stealing it from Nia is called Beelzebub. Beelzebub is a powerful demon who holds a high seat in Hell's hierarchy. He is known for spreading belief in false gods, fanning the flames of war or lust, and possessing human bodies to carry out horrific acts. Beelzebub is one of Hell's most powerful demons, taking second place only to Satan himself. Some theologians even claim that Beelzebub has usurped Satan and become "prince of the devils" and "chief of Hell." Others claim that Beelzebub and Satan are one and the same.

* According to Judeo-Christian beliefs, Beelzebub began his demonic career as a false god. He used clever lies and earthly rewards to convince men to worship false gods, usually himself. For example, the Torah tells a story of an Israeli god who injured himself and ordered his servants to go ask Beelzebub if he would recover. In response, the prophet Elijah appeared to condemn the king, since he had asked help from Beelzebub instead of the one true God. According to God's wish, the king died from his injuries. Later, Beelzebub diversified his strategies for torturing mankind. In the "Testament of Solomon", Solomon claims that Beelzebub was among the demons whom he enslaved to build his temple. He describes a conversation with the demon, in which Beelzebub claimed "*to cause destruction through tyrants, to cause demons to be worshipped among men, to excite priests to lust, to cause jealousies in cities and murders, and to bring on war.*"

* His name 'Isaac' means "He who/will laughs" in the Hebrew Bible. Isaac is a given name derived from Judaism and a given name among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim societies, generally in reference to the above. "Isaac" is loosely translated as "laughing". "Ike" and "Ise" are also short forms of the name Isaac.

* From the Hebrew name meaning "he will laugh, he will rejoice", derived from meaning "to laugh". The Old Testament explains this meaning, by recounting that Abraham laughed when God told him that his aged wife Sarah would become pregnant with Isaac. When Isaac was a boy, God tested Abraham's faith by ordering him to sacrifice his son, though an angel prevented the act at the last moment. Isaac went on to become the father of Esau and Jacob with his wife Rebecca.

* Curious enough, after Westcott managed to steal the power of Mio Takamiya, he gained three Demon Kings at the same time. All these three demons are born from the same entity, Mio's Ein Sof. Note, all three Demon Kings are based on David Godwin's Kabalistic Encyclopedia. The number of the Qliphoth tree are 0, 00, 000 for Qemetiel, Belial, and Athiel respectively. So in turn, it's like a mirror for the numbers of Mio's angels.

* In some non-Jewish Hermetic Qabalah, contact is sought with the Qliphoth unlike in the ethical-mystical Jewish prohibition, as part of its process of human self-knowledge. In contrast, the theurgic Jewish Practical Kabbalah was understood by its practitioners as similar to white magic, accessing only holiness, while the danger in such venture of mixing impure Magic ensured it remained a minor and restricted practice in Jewish history.
* According to Aleister Crowley, the three evil forms (before Samael), are said to be Qemetial, Belial, and Othiel.

* Westcott's eyes are seem and described as lifeless and dull eyes. This, despite being a small factor about his character, is actually extremely important. The author himself made his eyes like that to show how his mind was plunged into darkness, disgrace and misery. People who loves living in sorrow consider living as the same as being dead, and Westcott's lifeless eyes show pretty much how dead he is inside... And how much he seems to accept it.
* Isaac Westcott, Ellen Mathers and Elliot Woodman are based on the three co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which was one of the orders of the Hermetic Qabalah. The Hermetic Qabalah was one of 3 groups associated to the Sephirot Tree.

* Isaac Westcott is based on William Wynn Westcott, one of the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
* Ellen Mathers's last name likely comes from MacGregor Mathers, this may be why Ellen is the only Wizard who has been able to fight evenly with a Spirit.
* Elliot Woodman's last name comes from William Robert Woodman, one of three co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

* Westcott holds a great hatred for Ratatoskr, considering it an organization of "greenhorns" and its goal "something that can only be said out randomly while drinking a cup of sake".
* Although not officially confirmed, Isaac was possibly based on the appearance of **Kasper Hekmatyar** from *Jormungand*. The fact they are both businessmen who deal with weapon sale to wage wars and profit off of them, makes the two even more similar.
* Although not confirmed, it is possible that the ban of *Date A Live II* in the mainland China (making the entire second season's only online availability in China are limited to certain regions like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) was due to Isaac's darkness that gave too many disturbing scenes to the series, which didn't make it to the censorship of the mainland China.

* In addition, many of Westcott's tortures were used by the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan during World War II and Sino-Japanese War. Those methods of torture were mainly used against Korean and Chinese civilians to put fear in the hearts of innocents.
* One example of those were the brutal and inhuman tortures used on women who were raped, forcibly impregnated, then dissected alive by the Japanese Army and scientists of the empire. And during Nia's inversion Arc, Westcott willingly explained how he physically, sexually and psychologically tortured and dissected Nia alive for 5 years.
* Despite the constant censorship in China, Westcott's references to the delicate history between Japan and China during the early 1940s (a case that is considered to be a taboo in the mainland China) and the approved laws to counter Date A Live's presence in the country, Date A Live is easily *the most* popular light novel series in China to date, even more than in Japan when as seen when many independent crossovers and games were made in its name. To push the animation of Date A Live further, millions of Chinese fans signed a petition to make the season 3 of Date A Live possible, something that was later considered to be a worldwide success when the season 3 came in 2019 and later more two adaptations of Date A Live (Date A Bullet and Date A Live 4) were confirmed.

* Westcott was the first foreign character to appear in the franchise. After him, comes Ellen Mathers, Jessica Bailey, Simpson, Roger Murdoch, Russell, Charlotte Meyers, Daisy, Izabell, Minerva Liddell, Ashley Sinclair, Leonora Sears, Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, Edgar F. Caroll; all of them are British villains.
* Fugil Arcadia, one of the main antagonists in 2013 light novel series, *Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle*, is heavily implied to be inspired in Isaac Westcott—based on appearance, personality, and crimes. Fugil is considered as the teenage version of Westcott. Despite being a teenager, he is the most twisted of all villains, this is demonstrated when he was willing to kill thousands of children and women to his brother to overthrow the Empire.
* Isaac is the second white-haired character to appear in the franchise. The first is Reine Murasame.
* Isaac is self-proclaimed "Genius".
* Westcott seems to be the Anti-Christ of the series, as the same franchise addresses many theological issues of Judaism. In the series, Westcott's main posture: open wide arms, is a pose that is often used to portrait Jesus, the Messiah. However, according to theologic texts, the Anti-Christ, will be a human of great persuasion and will often copy Christ's words and postures to make people believe he is the son of the Messiah. A person known as "No God".

* Aside from the page, Westcott was a genius by nature. The book describes the Anti-Christ as appealing, not repulsive, a blasphemous horn and a beast (Revelation 13:1-2). While list of descriptions is not attractive, people will follow him, and he will be an alluring leader. Everything about him will be extraordinary and he will possess charm, vision, wit, intelligence, eloquence and military genius. Everything that Westcott have. His rise to power as the benefactor of all nations of the world also brings him one step closer.

* His appearance looks very similar to all Abyssal in *Kantai Collection*. The pale skin, white hair, tall, thin body and lifeless eyes. This kind of appearance in *Kantai Collection* (or for the most to Japanese media) refers to soulless or undead beings.
* Westcott was born with the name "Ike", but soon after he was adopted by a new family, his name was renamed to "Isaac Ray Peram Westcott". At one point, Elliot can be heard calling him as "Ike Westcott".
* While this isn't officially confirmed yet, Isaac Westcott and his company (DEM) are the possible inspiration for the creation of the webcomic *ISAC and DEM*.
* It was theorized Westcott has more than a relationship between servant and boss with Ellen. James A. Paddington mentioned that others DEM officers claimed Westcott might be sleeping with Ellen. In the anime, however, it never happens.

* Isaac is one of the few characters in *DAL* that has a theme song with his name on the title.

* Westcott has the highest body count on the franchise, even more than Kurumi Tokisaki who had killed 10,000 people with her own hands. It's implied his body count is around 200,000,000-250,000,000 since 30 years ago when he summoned the First Spirit and destroyed a large part of China and Eurasia. The following spacequakes around the globe may have increased his body count by the millions. In his time as a Spirit of Origin, the number of body counts were probably increased by trillions.
* Westcott is one of the characters who had his design more changed than anyone else in the animation. At times, he appears as a young man in his twenties while in other parts he appears older as the author suggests. However, this merely considered an error from the animators.
* In a common sense based in the genre of the series, Westcott serves as the dark counterpart of Shido's Casanova personality. While Shido possess a harem of Spirits who love him dearly and show deep care for them, Westcott have a harem of women who are with him solely for loyalty (as 90% of all his underlings are women) or forced to serve him out of fear. And unlike Shido, Westcott doesn't really care about them.
