Ava, better known as the Evil Deity, is a cosmic entity and the most powerful antagonist of ***I Am An Evil God***.

## Personality and Traits

The Evil Deity is the most dangerous existence in the universe. Their gloomy presence exerts soul-crushing pressure. The deity assumes any form as they wish. They have dark, spiky tentacles with scarlet highlights that can dwarf entire planets. The deity wields the Power Of The Evil Deity on a planetary scale, and swallows' all life on a planet within mere moments. This being also warps reality as they please. A tiny speck of their power is enough to fully corrupt a strong-willed human, transforming them into an infernal being with homicidal mania.

Since they lost their original ego, the Evil Deity merged with the Shangguan sisters to form a different ego. In this ego, the Evil Deity is in love with Xie Yan and exhibits *Yandere* tendencies towards him.

## Plot

Eons ago, the Evil Deity Ava lost their original ego when they were vanquished by a powerful being. They drifted through space, mindlessly consuming planets teeming with life. Ava would slumber on the planetary barrier, and their power would slowly corrupt indigenous beings. After the barrier was decayed to a certain extent, some fragments of Ava would embed into two or three newborns, and after their deaths, the fragments would return to Ava. This was done to stave off boredom. Once, Qiu Sheng, an S Class Fighter from the world of Ba Quan, became a fanatic of the Evil Deity and inherited some of their power, becoming the world's first Fallen Fighter. After his death, Qiu Sheng continued to exist as a spirit and cultivated his strength by creating Fallen Fighters. A century later, Qiu Sheng is resurrected, and he summons the Evil Deity, intending to offer the planet to them.

Meanwhile, Xie Yan is given the system mission to prevent the Evil Deity's descent. In a bid to stop the deity, Xie Yan kills Qiu Sheng after a particularly arduous battle. However, he is shocked when his mission fails, and the deity descends on the world. All nations deploy their nuclear arsenals in vain, and the deity devours all life in the world in mere moments. As the last living being alive on this planet, Xie Yan is horrified as he wonders where he went wrong. Meanwhile, the Evil Deity merges with the Shangguan sisters and approaches the exhausted hero. They take Xie Yan to space and explain that they are an entity named Ava, who merged with the consciousness of the Shangguan sisters. The deity reveals to Xie Yan that all lives on this planet are alive within themselves and that they will send those lives to an alternate reality. Ava offers Xie Yan to join them to rule the new planet since they consider him their husband.

Xie Yan learns of Ava's history, and that the Shangguan sisters were Ava's incarnations. Qiu Sheng's attack on the sisters had awakened Ava earlier than expected and even after Qiu Sheng's death, the deity had proceeded to destroy the world on instinct. The Guardian Spirit that Xie Yan gave the sisters allowed for the Evil Deity to properly merge with their consciousness, developing a new ego. Xie Yan realizes that his failure was an inevitable outcome- even if he did succeed his mission, this would delay the planetary devastation by only fifty years. The Evil Deity embraces Xie Yan, nearly corrupting him. At the last moment, Xie Yan returns to his senses and teleports to the Main World. The Evil Deity furiously resolves to eventually invade the Main World and reclaim Xie Yan.

## Trivia

* Despite their name, the Evil Deity is ***NOT*** the title character of ***I'm An Evil God***.
	+ The characters for Evil God for the title are 邪帝 where 帝 literally means emperor in context of divinity, such as the supreme god (上帝) or the god-emperor in Taoism, the Jade Emperor (玉帝). The writing of the character Evil Deity is 邪神, that can be translated as demons and evil spirits.
* According to the author, the reason Ava is wary of invading the Main World immediately is because the Power Of The Evil Deity cannot completely suppress sufficiently large quantities of True Energy.
* Xie Yan's Flowery Swords Primordial Spirit derived from the Evil Deity has twin forms and two different abilities. The Shangguan Yan version can erode and assimilate True Energy, while the Shangguan Yao version can temporarily control and redirect True Energy that was affected by its sister. However, once Xie Yan transforms the Shangguan Yan spirit to Shangguan Yao, he can neither revert the form nor can he re-absorb it. The transformation consumes more energy from Xie Yan.
	+ Strangely, the Primordial Spirit of Shangguan Yao exhibits some signs of consciousness, unlike Xie Yan's other Primordial Spirits.
