Nothingness Devil

**The Nothingness Devil** is a devil that embodies the fear of nothingness and non-being. He occupies a realm called "limbo" that exists between heaven and hell, and can only be seen and interacted with those who are experiencing the sensation of nothingness, such as those who are dead or comatose.

## Appearance:

Due to his nature, the Nothingness Devil doesn't have an observable form, many individuals who have encountered him have described talking to him as some kind of voice in their head. Although, when the Nothingness Devil made an appearance during the climactic fight with the Pain Devil, he did have a temporary form, which was a humanoid silhouette that was completely shrouded in unfiltered darkness.

## Personality:

Unlike most Devils who primarily focus and thrive in the company of humans, the Nothingness Devil is a solitary devil, preferring to be by himself in his boundless void. He considers human events to be tiresome and too complicated for him to deal with, and much rather prefers keeping out of any matters. However, the Nothingness Devil isn't completely anti-social, and he often talks and to the people in limbo before they pass over, getting to know them, learning about their lives, and discussing topics that may interest them. Although he considers human matters to be quite tiresome, he ultimately does care about humans to an extent, as he was able to make a contract with a division leader, Ogyuro Mikitaka, offering his assistance in his war against the Pain Devil. But ultimately, the Nothingness Devil prefers to leave humans alone, letting them sort out their own business by themselves. The Nothingness Devil is easily irritated, and will refuse to tolerate any behavior he considers annoying.

## Plot:

Over the course of his inception, the Nothingness Devil spent many years in limbo, and encountered many individuals who entered there, those who recently passed away, or those who took their own lives. He would talk to them about their lives and offer them advice on what they could've done differently, and wishing them good luck on their journey to either hell or heaven. Occasionally, the Nothingness Devil would bring those who entered his realm back to life, either because he found them annoying, or that he thought they deserved a second chance.

During the Pain Devil war, the leader of the division sent to deal with the Pain Devil, Ogyuro Mikitaka, was one of the very few people who knew about the existence of the Nothingness Devil, due to him going into a coma when he was younger due to a brain tumor. In order to meet him, Ogyuro shoots himself and enters limbo, where he asks the Nothingness Devil for help. At first, he refuses, claiming that human matters don't concern him, but once Ogyuro mentions that it's the Pain Devil, his attitude completely changes. And so, he makes a contract with Ogyuro, taking care of the Pain Devil once and for all.

## Powers And Abilities:

It is entirely possible that the Nothingness Devil has all the standard Devil abilities, but due to his abstract nature, it's entirely possible that he is the first Devil in history that lacks them.

### Devil Powers:

**Physical Nonexistence:** The Nothingness Devil's form is unique, given the fact that he doesn't have one, and In theory, he doesn't technically exist. His form resides in a realm that has no presence, he is invisible and completely undetectable to the rest of the world. Even those who interact with the Nothingness Devil eventually forget the time they spent together due to his abstract nature. As mentioned previously, those who interact with the Nothingness Devil don't physically feel his presence in limbo, and describe talking to him as "some kind of voice in their heads".

**Erasure:** The Nothingness Devil has the unique ability to erase people or devils from the world, reducing their form to nothing. Those who are erased by the Nothingness Devil do not go to limbo, and experience true non-existence and nothingness. However, this ability is temporary depending on the power of the person he is erasing, for example, he stated that the Pain Devil will eventually come back into the real world due to her power and influence.

**Resurrection:** The Nothingness Devil can "eject' people from limbo and send them back into the real world, essentially bringing up back to life and recovering them to their state before they died, such as when he brought back Ogyruo after he committed suicide in an effort to see him, as well as countless other people who entered limbo. It was stated that the Nothingness Devil often does this to the people who get on his nerves, regardless of who they are.
