Angelic King of Light

*"The Lumiking is light, the Umbralord darkness."*
―Stanley Vasquez[src]
The **Lumiking** is an extremely powerful, legendary, and nearly mythical Angelic divinity and the founder and leader of the Halo Guardians. As one of the two representatives for the Sovereign, the Lumiking, alongside the spiritual demon of darkness and chaos known as the Umbralord, had the highest authority in the Multiverse. He is one of the oldest known entities, having existed over one hundred thousand lifetimes before the formation of the Earth. He and the Umbralord spent much of their existence combating each other, with neither able to fully vanquish the other. However, whereas the Lumiking sought to keep the Legion at bay to sustain balance between good and evil, the Legion sought to destroy the Lumiking once and for all. This changed after the Separation of the Divinities, and the fulfillment of prophecies of cosmic balance became more than inevitable. He is a background hero in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect* and a minor flashback character in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and a major character in *Superquack: Focal Point* and is scheduled to reappear in *The Ultimate Cosmic Countdown*. While his page frequency is very minimal, he could be considered a major character because of what he represents.

## Biography

### In the Beginning

The Lumiking was a vastly powerful humanoid cosmic entity who has existed as long as the universe itself.

### Maintaining balance

#### Contesting the Umbralord

At an indeterminate point, the Lumiking witnessed the creation of humanity by his superior, the Sovereign. When his dark counterpart, Legion, realized how the Sovereign unintentionally corrupted the new race he had created and confronted it, the Sovereign responded by creating a new race - the Halo Guardians, who were intended to protect humanity from Legion's influence, for the Lumiking had previously been promised powerful followers should he prove himself competent at leading them. The Lumiking came to believe that their intention was to forcibly compel peace between all human populations, and Legion, being insightful, knew that this would have caused the race to stagnate because of the Lumiking's delusions.

Hence, Legion continued to stand up to him, leading to the escalation of a conflict as old as time itself, one which was to be settled without the interference of the Sovereign. Hence, he engaged in a vicious duel with Legion nearly one hundred thousand years before the dawn of the Common Era. Ever since then, he was partially restrained by his dark counterpart while he kept darkness under control and the cosmos in balance. His function had always been to safeguard the Multiverse (the total sum of all universes) from an imbalance of mystical forces. He would also act to prevent an overwhelming imbalance of good or evil within a universe. When a matter involved only one universe, the Lumiking may leave the final judgment to the Gods there. The Lumiking did not possess alternate counterparts, as there was only one Lumiking in the Multiverse. However, he did or could exist simultaneously in multiple planes of reality, giving the appearance of multiple variations to the human perception.

Throughout his reign, it is implied he helped civilizations grow and when they became too populated or decadent, he would use water to destroy them, in order to clear the way for a new civilization. One mundicide was noted, that of Adoroc, a planet mostly populated by Dark mutants, and there were many, many others. He also caused mass havoc amongst the Molovians. Over many eons, he continued targeting places he deemed were necessary, places that led to suffering and injustice. He also acquired the services of a cosmic being named Berus, often keeping him nearby to do his bidding. Still, the two spent time together and ultimately became close friends. Although his own duties are purely cosmic in scope, the Lumiking continued to maintain the Halo Guardians as a lesser conclave of cosmic beings to rule on less dire matters. They became enemies of the despotic cosmic witch known as the Black Queen and were held back by her sophisticated sorcery.

The Lumiking also stored a fraction of his divine power inside the Phial of the Lumiking, which was eventually granted to Stan as part of his personal equipment However, when Genesis plunged the entire universe into darkness following the War of Darkness, it severed his hold on him. Fearing what was left of the universe would be destroyed, the Lumiking pursued his enemy in vain, until it was almost impossible for him to come anywhere near him. However, when Red X recovered the hallowed and nearly mythical Verasect and, in an attempt to annihilate him, she inadvertently banished him to the Membrane Sphere through a portal. The Lumiking immediately arrived and proceeded to mock the Umbralord and seal him within the Cage of Eras, preventing him from leaving the dimension. In the meantime, he wondered how he could use the Membrane Sphere's power to find greater realms it could unveil in order to become invincible and all-powerful. Fortunately, justice and peace won the day when Red X blasted the demonic entity to pieces and Sebiscuits Cardarphen returned the universe into one half day and half night.

#### Reverence of the Lumiking

While Xitol fell through alternate universes within the Multiverse, she passed through a universe that is inhabited by statues of the Lumiking. Meanwhile, another statue of him was kept in the Zone of No Return.

#### Sacrificing Berus

The exploits of the Lumiking and his accomplice Berus eventually led them across the Multiverse to an empty sector, where the pair were chased by a powerful and relentless beast. The Lumiking noticed the beast getting closer, so he fired several beams of white light at it, staggering it as he implored Berus to keep running. Before long, the Lumiking realized that the beast's power only increases with intense displays of emotion, and ordered Berus to kill it himself by remembering what he told him about replacing malice with compassion. Berus and the beast seem to be evenly matched at first, but when the beast ensnared Berus with its tendrils, the Lumiking called Berus back. The beast crushed both of his legs before he could do anything, crippling him in the process.

The beast was starting to round on the angelic divinity, so the Lumiking, fearing that the Multiverse would not be safe with the power of Cosmic Shifting in the hands of a boy, decided that he needed to take the power for himself. He took a glance at Berus and apologized since this was supposedly the only way before levitating him to draw his power out from him, much to his horror as the Lumiking forcefully ground his head into the floor, drawing blood. Berus cried out that they were friends and that he was killing him, but the Lumiking was darkly amused by his failure to kill a low-class monster, and so when Berus begged the Lumiking to help him, the Lumiking fooled Berus into thinking he would assist him, but instead crushed his neck before fully absorbing his power to amplify his own.

### Separation of the Divinities

Unable to defend himself, the Lumiking was subjected to a barrage of direct ferrokinetic blows; his light weakened with every attack, each hit doing more damage than the last. However, since light and dark cannot exist without each other, he was healed from the residual light that had begun growing in the Umbralord. The Lumiking roared with laughter at his new challenger and was about to take over his mind despite his blatant unwillingness, but the Umbralord, seeing the sincerity in the Iron Godking's desire for redemption, came to his rescue and grabbed the already bruised and injured Lumiking's cut wrist. He declared that they should disappear into a nearby tent and discuss these matters in private, a proposition with which the Lumiking reluctantly obliged. Inside, and overheard by none, they reached an agreement. Returning onto the Membrane Sphere, the two divinities declared that they would go their separate ways.

### Fusion

*"The Lumiking has fallen. Where has this tragedy led humankind?"*
―An unnamed mourner[src]
In a dark potential future, either the boyfriend or younger brother of Summer Petersen were killed, making the distraught teenager susceptible to the Black Queen's drugs. As Petersen joined the Brotherhood, the Black Queen conquered the Eight Worlds and transformed it into an apocalyptic wasteland. A massive conflict began between the Brotherhood and the Guerrillas, a team of rebels led by Vincent Organa. The Lumiking personally came forth and dueled the Black Queen but ultimately was killed by her. At some point later he was laid to rest, his casket driven through charred, war-torn streets, leading an enormous procession of mourners.

## Physical description

The Lumiking is a strikingly and chillingly beautiful man, described as having pale white skin, a thin yet muscular body, and dark eyes of a completely unidentifiable color. He had long, flowing hair and a beard. He had long, blunt, scarlet fingernails. He usually dressed in elegant grey robes. While he did not possess alternate counterparts, he did or could exist simultaneously in multiple planes of reality, giving the appearance of multiple variations to the human perception.

## Personality and traits

*"If it is all about aiming for power, then both good and evil become meaningless!"*
―The Lumiking[src]
As an extremely powerful and hegemonic angel, the Lumiking is entirely dedicated to the role of the Gods in the Multiverse, his hallowed role as one of its two prominent overseers, and to his objective to keep at bay, and formerly destroy, the Umbralord, following the narrow yet admirable path of spreading peace and prosperity, since these are the very things he personifies and gives him strength. He takes his role as a guardian seriously, and does not interfere with what happens in the wider cosmos, believing humanity needs to learn from conflict. The Lumiking does have some limits though on not intervening, though. He even resolved to fight the Black Queen in person in the Fusion reality, although he was ultimately defeated by the cosmic sorceress. In the mainstream timeline, he was shocked and horrified at the implication of the Black Queen departing her home universe to another. The Lumiking was shown to be protective of Berus at first, but he was also pragmatic to the point of ruthlessness, understanding that the fate of the Multiverse was risky in Berus' hands and was willing to kill him to rid himself of a weakling in his eyes, and arrogantly considered himself a far better candidate for hosting his power.

### Powers

* **Angelus Physiology**: The Lumiking was a mystical being far less bound to the laws of physics than a human, presiding over all universes, possessing remarkable cosmic powers allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the Umbralord. He was even powerful enough to hold back the Iron Godking, but he was ultimately bested in a bout of mystical combat. He is still hugely implied to be weaker than Genesis or Mr. Stupid NoHead.
	+ **Superhuman strength**: The Lumiking has a tremendous level of superhuman strength. His strength extends to his ability to leap great distances.
		- **Superhuman leap**: The Lumiking is able to use his incredible strength to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances.
	+ **Nigh-invulnerability**: As an angelic divinity, the Lumiking cannot be killed by normal means. His body is numerous times more resistant to physical and energy damage than any species in the multiverse, far outclassing any Kraton, equaled only by other cosmic entities, thereby making him almost invulnerable and indestructible. During the confrontation with the Black Queen, she conjured an exceedingly powerful blade of incredible sharpness and heat, which ultimately pierced the divinity's heart and ended his life, even then only because he was not expecting it.
		- **Regenerative healing element**: The Lumiking can heal from wounds at considerable superhuman rates. However, if the injuries are serious enough to neutralize the Lumiking, his healing factor would not be able to save him, which is what happened when the Black Queen fatally pierced his heart (in a potential future).
	+ **Superhuman speed**: The Lumiking can run and move at extreme speed, possibly faster than light speed, much faster than any being in the Multiverse. He was able to keep up with the speed of the Iron Godking and sometimes even faster than him in battle, and is fast enough to block or dodge most of his attacks.
	+ **Superhuman agility**: The Lumiking is much more agile than any being in the Multiverse, with perfect agility, equilibrium, flexibility, dexterity, balance, and body coordination. He was able to dodge the Iron Godking attacks agilely and sometimes even outmaneuver him in battle.
	+ **Superhuman stamina**: The Lumiking's muscles produce no fatigue toxins during physical activity, far surpassing any being in the Multiverse. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time and without tiring at all.
	+ **Superhuman reflexes**: The Lumiking can react and dodge objects traveling at extreme speeds, much quicker than any being in the Multiverse. He was able to dodge or avoid most of the Iron Godking's attacks.
	+ **Flight**: The Lumiking can fly at extreme speed, possibly faster than lightspeed, by utilizing light. He can fly, glide and float through the air and vacuum of space without outside help. Whenever he does so, a blinding white aura encircles his body.
	+ **Ergokinesis**: The Lumiking is able to manipulate cosmic energy to use it in many ways, including but not limited to create shields and barriers, telekinesis, accumulate cosmic energy in his hands, manipulate matter and channel energy. The Lumiking can accumulate his energy into his hands to increase the damage behind his blows. He was able to stagger the Iron Godking and knock him back using this power.
		- **Force-Field Generation**: The Lumiking is capable of using cosmic energy to create energy constructs. He was able to create shields and barriers strong enough to withstand the energy blasts from the Iron Godking.
		- **Telekinesis**: The Lumiking can move objects by using any available light and photons, as shown when he levitated Berus in the air to siphon his power.
	+ **Self-sustenance**: The Lumiking is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space unaided. He doesn't need air, food, or water, and he requires relatively minimal sleep to survive.
	+ **Interdimensional travel**: The Lumiking has the power to bypass the barriers between realities throughout the Multiverse and able to travel to any point of the Multiverse. He was able to travel to different universes and observe them, including the Earthly Plane and the Membrane Sphere.
	+ **Singularity**: Due to his divine nature, the Lumiking is completely unique in the multiverse, with no variants of him existing in any other timeline.
	+ **Power Absorption**: The Lumiking can absorb the powers of other individuals and creatures into himself. He took Berus' power.
	+ **Immortality**: As an angel, the Lumiking has been alive for millennia, predating the time when humanity was created. He is immortal, being able to live forever, without dying due to old age or illnesses.

### Abilities

* **Master combatant**: The Lumiking is a skillful and formidable duelist, with an extensive knowledge in various forms of combats, right on par with his dark cosmic counterpart, as he was even powerful enough to contest the Black Queen herself in the Fusion timeline, but he was ultimately defeated by the Satanic divinity. Hence, he could match up with the Iron Godking in a fight.
* **Genius intellect**: As an Angelic divinity, the Lumiking had extraordinary levels of divine wisdom and intellect due to his tremendously long lifespan allowing him to obtain and refine the wisdom of the ages. Hence, even when not using his powers, he is still a true force of nature.

## Victims

 Multiple Molovians
 Berus

Due to his very nature, there is no doubt the Lumiking killed off many other races and characters off-page.

## Trivia

* The Lumiking and Umbralord respectively are representations of the yin-yang (Taìjí tú) concept in Chinese philosophy, which is used to describe the way in which opposite forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world. In this case, the concept accounts for the duality associated with the fact that the Lumiking represents light and peace, while the Umbralord represents darkness and chaos. Furthering the yin-yang comparison, the Lumiking and the Umbralord are said to contain vestigial elements of each other within themselves, from which they can regenerate after being defeated. Similarly, each side of the yin-yang symbol bears a small dot of the opposite color, symbolizing how each side bears a part of the other.
	+ With the Lumiking's archenemy being directly inspired by Disney's portrayal of Chernabog, they are both comparable to the Slavic myths, as they are the origin behind the inspiration for their characters, the Lumiking being similar to Belobog, the white god of light.
	+ The Lumiking and the Umbralord are also comparable to the Zoroastrian concept of moral dualism, the Lumiking being similar to Ahura Mazda in her representation of morality and light.
* As the Umbralord is stated to be older than the Earth itself, we can assume that the Lumiking is as well, meaning he is at least four billion years of age, although it is unclear whether he is older or younger than Genesis. Furthermore, if he really was around when the Sovereign created the early humans, then this cosmic divinity must have been at least 1,502,023 years old.
