> — Heavenly Demon to Cha Yeon-woo

The **Heavenly Demon**, also known by his numerous other names and identities through his repeated reincarnations, is an immensely powerful Demon/God like being whose power was said to easily dwarf that of the Gods, Demons, Dragons and Giants that once resided within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk.

The Heavenly Demon is also the main deity worshipped by the Devil Army.

## Personality

Due to the Devil Army worshipping him fanatically it was believed that the Heavenly Demon was no different from his followers. Also, it is believed that the Heavenly Demon was like a great demon to whom even the Demon Kings would bow to and most of the players in the Tower all had this impression, which was why the Heavenly Demon had a very small following. Even Yeon-woo was expecting a monster who could only destroy, a rabid beast who hated anything that tied him down. However, the truth could not be further than this.

As seen during his first meeting with Yeon-woo, the Heavenly Demon is shown to be a very relaxed and frivolous individual, as seen where he interacted with Yeon-woo very friendly and tried to make jokes with him. As seen from their conversation, The Heavenly Demon is extremely whimsical, with a him stating and later showing that he had no reservation of doing outrageous things solely because he felt like it, even if his actions would be directly detrimental or even harmful to himself in the future, as seen where he willingly chose to help Yeon-woo despite him being the current successor to his enemy, the Black King. Yeon-woo himself noted that his laid back personality reminded him greatly of his teacher.

As noted by Cha Yeon-woo and Cha Jeong-woo, the Heavenly Demon has a very attention hungry side to his personality and that he has a tendency of doing outrageous things due to his desire to be the center of attention. It’s due to this tendency, it is slightly easier for other to manipulate him to a degree, with Yeon-woo stating that by stroking his ego and complementing him, the Heavenly Demon would work harder on a task or end up doing that individual a favor.

The Heavenly Demon's overall personality was described by Kronos and the rest of the Transcendents of the 98th Floor to be that of a Bully who enjoys picking on those weaker than him for entertainment and nothing more.

As seen from his past with his son, The Heavenly Demon truly and genuinely loved and treasured his only son and wished to protect him no matter what. As seen where he immediately attempted to kill the being fated to kill his child in order to protect him. The Heavenly Demon himself showed immense pride at his child's potential and was fully confident that he would one day overtake him in power and take his place as protector of the cosmos.

As seen from his Bivasbat's final moments, the Heavenly Demon was devastated at seeing his son's death and was deeply upset.

## History

### Backstory:

The Heavenly Demon was stated to be an immensely powerful being that has reincarnated and gained numerous identities through centuries of its existence.

Since time memorial, the Heavenly Demon would constantly battle and seal the Black King, to prevent his awakening. As failure to stop the Black King’s awakening would mean the disappearance of a universe dreamt by the Black King. However, the Black King would eventually wake up and regain his strength, stronger than before. With each resealing, the gap between himself and the Black King widens as it consumes too much of himself in the process. This brings them all closer to 'death'. This eternal cycle of creation, destruction and recreation by the Black King and the Heavenly Demon has been repeated thousands to million of times, causing numerous iterations of the cosmos to be created and destroyed in the process until the current cosmos was created.

Due to him gradually losing power and his allies ,Day(Eros), only losing more strength and members as time went on, the Heavenly Demon eventually devised a new way in order to insure the universes continued survival. Modifying his Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Heavenly Demon turned it into what is known as the Obelisk, the Tower. He would then place the Obelisk directly above the location where the Black King slumbered, Earth, in order to delay his awakening. He then created a system to confine all the heavenly societies to the 98th floor of the tower in order to add further "weight" into the Tower and help further delay the Black King's awakening.

The Heavenly Demon would then gather together Baal and Metatron and share his plan with them, due to the dwindling numbers of Day(Eros) and the gradual loss of power of its surviving members, The Heavenly Demon created the Obelisk in order to create new Transcendent Beings to replace them and take over their duties as the new Day. These new beings would then inherit their duty of putting the Black King to "sleep" once again in their place. In order to maintain order and control over the trapped Transcendents in the 98th Floor and in order for them to find worthy beings of inheriting their power and duty, he assigned Baal and Metatron the unique privilege's and control over the 98th floor as damage control. He would then task his son, Bivasbat, with the position as guardian and the skill All-for-One. This was to prevent any player influenced by the Black King and eliminate any potential Apostles of the Black King that would wake him up, confident that his son would inherit his place as part of the new "Day".

However, unexpectedly, a disagreement would form between himself and his son. Although the specifics are unknown, Bivasbat would eventually conclude that his father's plan was "wrong" and decided to become the sole heir of Day(Eros). Instead of allowing other Players to Transcend and become transcendant beings, Bivasbat would completely stop any player from ascending the level of mortals, as well as antagonizing and preventing the Gods, Demons, Dragons, Giants and Other Transcendent Beings from ever leaving the 98th Floor. With the latter believing that he alone should bear the burden of his father's task.

## Abilities

The Heavenly Demon was stated to be an extremely powerful being that had power easily surpassing the powers of the primordial gods such as the Great Mother and easily put him on par with beings such as the Black King.

It would later be stated that he was both a Primordial and Conceptual God that embodied the concept of "Light".

It was later confirmed that the Monkey King himself possessed a unique power that was somehow the combination of Holy and Demonic Energies that gave him his title as the "Heavenly Demon". Later it would be implied that due to his status as one of the most ancient primordial beings in the universe, his power was beyond both energies and is in fact the primordial energies that Holy and Demonic Power originated from.

### Tower Control

As the creator of the Obelisk, he has full access rights and full control to the system of the Tower and can alter and change it however he pleases.

### Powers

Like all Transcendent Beings, The Heavenly Demon also possess Skill that fall under the category of "[Power]" that embodies his Concept as a transcendent being.

* + **Heavenly Demon Ruling Step:**The personal Power created by the Heavenly Demon. This Power has stated that anything and everything exposed to the power will be brought to a standstill, forcing anything within the range of the power to be forced into the control of the Caster and there was nothing anything could do to get out of it. And with each step the caster took, the binding power grew stronger. This Power is also the skill that the Heavenly Demon used to imprisoned all the gods and demons helplessly within the Tower like a curse.
	+ **Heavenly Brackett:**
	+ **Shukuchi:** Is the skill that allows Heavenly Demon to travel and seemingly teleport using the "Light" of the space around him, essentially allowing him to appear in any location he desires. The skill itself cannot be taught, inherited or passed on to anyone else aside from him.

### Curse

The Heavenly Demon is also shown to be able to inflict powerful curses on any targets he desires. This is seen with the 1st Bishop of the Devil Army,Highl, that he cursed, rendering him in a practically near death state.

As revealed by Erlang Shen, the Heavenly Demon is also responsible for fatally weakening and cursing all of the leaders of the Godly Societies such as the Jade Emperor, Zeus, Odin and even Brahma by cursing them with the "**Heavenly Demon Disease**", also known as the "**Divine Being Disease**". This inflicted curse was stated to be so powerful, that the leaders of the societies, transcendent beings who lead their fellow Gods and were responsible for forming their own pantheons, were so severely weakened that it could even kill them, this is seen where the Jade Emperor, Zeus and Odin was weakened to the point that they lost a majority of their immense power and were pushed into entering a deep sleep to conserve their remaining strength to avoid death. Brahma in turn, was implied to have been weakened to the point that he had no other choice but to willingly "fall" and become mortal to avoid death. The exact mechanics of the Curse was that it was described as being something like malicious code, a literal virus. With the malicious code stated to slowly but completely devour the infected being and eventually destroys its existence. However, the malicious code also contains a part of the source code of the Heavenly Demon, who is the only being who can access the system and thus if the infected were to survive, they can possibly gain the same ability to manipulate the system as well due to them now possessing the Source Code of the Heavenly Demon.

### Authority

#### **Light**

The Heavenly Demon was stated to be the conceptual God that the embodies the concept of "Light", with him being the literal manifestation of the Light during the Big Bang that started the universe. Due to him having literally started the universe with his birth, the Heavenly Demon has Supreme control and Authority over "Light" and has near absolute control over the laws of the universe due to those laws existing because of him.

The Heavenly Demon was stated to both be omnipotent and omniscient, with him being able to bend and manipulate the world using his Light and him being capable of observing everything and everyone in the universe by using Light as a medium, as every inch of the universe has Light in it.

### Time Manipulation

As a being above Emperor Level, it’s been stated that the Heavenly Demon is completely unaffected by the concept of time.

### Akasha´s Record Access

The Heavenly Demon himself has full control over the Library and access all the information inside for his own use.

The Heavenly Demon himself is also able to freely grant Access Rights to whoever he choses and grant them the ability to both enter and read the knowledge contained within the Library despite the visitors in questions lacking the necessary level to read the knowledge.

As the Head Librarian of the Library, The Heavenly Demon also has the ability to expand the scope of its knowledge. This is seen where he expanded the range of the Akasha Record’s to also include the hidden third world ruled by the “Stars”.

Having been stated to have died and reincarnated himself numerous times and gaining many names and identities during each of his reincarnations and exuviated and become a Transcendent numerous times over.

Each of the Heavenly Demons "Faces" are stated to be completely separate from their original "self", having been stated to have minds, personalities and opinions separate from each other despite generally having the same way of thinking and purpose to "maintain" the universe.

Each of his "Faces" was stated to be immensely powerful, as seen where the Monkey King and Yvlke easily had power putting them in the level of an Emperor Level God/Transcendent Being. A single one of his "faces" was stated to be powerful enough to easily destroy and war against even the most powerful Godly/Demonic Society on their own.

#### **Monkey King/Great Sage**

Its been stated that originally, Sun Wukong was not a powerful being and was a regular Yokai, however as he trained and evolved himself and his powers, he eventually transformed himself into a being with power rivaling the Gods and Demons of the 98th Floor. Resulting in him being imprisoned within the "Monkey King's Palace" by the Gods within the 12th Floor of the Tower.

The Monkey King himself was stated to be so powerful that even his mere **Shedding**, a "shadow" to him, was stated to have power surpassing the Goddess, Urd's power. Hinting that the Monkey King himself has power comparable to the Leader(s) Gods of the various Pantheon of the 98th Floor and the Highest Ranking Demons within the 98th Floor of the Tower.

Later it would be revealed that the Monkey King himself in truth possess power on par with a Emperor Level God, marking his power as surpassing most Transcendents and signifying that he was more than powerful enough to wage war against entire Societies of Gods and Demons and win single handedly.

The Monkey King himself was noted to have mastered and developed the Arts to an extreme level of power during his time trapped within the Mountain of Penance while imprisoned within his Palace. As seen where both Shanon, a former *Semi-Ranker* of Red Dragon and Hanryeong, the Former *Saber God* of Cheonghwado, where impressed by the training marks left behind by him in the palace that indicated his growth.

#### **Yvlke**

Later it was revealed that the Heavenly Demon possessed numerous Sheddings hidden all across the Obelisk, typically in position of power within the Obelisk in order for the Monkey King to be able to subtly manipulate and keep track of the most vital areas and developments within the Tower. This is seen where one of his sheddings is Yvlke, the highest ranked Floor Guardian within the Bureau of Floor Guardians and the most powerful member of the 12 Zodiacs.

As revealed, Yvlke himself is both a "Face" of the Heavenly Demon and a Ego of the Black King. Effectively giving Yvlke access to both of their Powers, Authorities and Abilities, making him immensely powerful.

### Hyo Ma Qiu

**Hyo Ma Qiu** also known as **Li** was the first ever reincarnation or "face" of the Heavenly Demon. He was known to have been the first "Light Keeper" in charge of guarding and caring for the "First Light", also known as the Fire of the Beginning, the left over flames of the Big Bang when the Heavenly Demon first started creation.

### Sheddings

Like many immortals of immense power, The Heavenly Demon and his many "faces" showcased the ability to create a clone of himself by "Shedding" his/their current "self" and separating it from their main body. Effectively leaving behind a "echo" of himself that can think, feel and operate separately from him.

* **Shedding of the Monkey King:** The Monkey King being one of his most famous reincarnation. Upon finally escaping his imprisonment within the Mountain of Penance and leaving his Palace, the original Sun Wukong left behind a shedding of himself there in order to act as a sort of quest giver for anyone wanting to claim his power for their own. And from what Yeon-woo observed, this sheddings power was monstrously gigantic and was stated to have power that easily surpassed the power of Minor Gods and Goddesses in size and intensity. With Yeon gauging the Sheddings strength to be superior to the power he felt from the Norn of Fate, Urd.
