Star Cluster of Destruction

Seven Great Demon Kings

**Khvarenah** (クワルナフ, *Kuwarunafu*) is of the Seven Great Deamon Kings, and ruler over the Genocide Star Cluster.

He is incarnation of the Malignancy of **Oblivion** (忘却, *Bōkyaku*)

## Personality

He tries to understand everything through the lense of pure logic. Thus he is unable to understand abstract concepts such as hope.

But, as a curious mind, he does not destroy that which he does not understand. He does not understand the logic of humans holding onto hope, but he is not childish enough to discard their logic, nor to make light of their prayers.

But takes it in and stores in in a Quinn. In order to study, and eventually understand, that which remains a mystery to him.  A storage device of Hope.

He is not a being that acts with malice or ill-content, but moreso mindlessly follows his Avesta, and takes nither joy nor sorrow in his actions, it is simply nature, and instinctual drive that he must follow.

His Immutability is that of "Beauty" (美, *Bi*).

Masada states that if the Demon Kings were a family he would be the "Eldest Son who concerns himself not with his Siblings".

## **Appearence**

He is a giant, deformed star with huge eyes and multiple mouths, with long tongues capable of catching multiple stars in a singular movement.
His size continues to increase the more he eats.

### **Human Form**

When appearing in the Gathas he takes on a human form, He has blond hair and crimson eyes, and is wearing a divine robe made of dozens of condensed galaxies, its shiny not being favorably comparable to his beauty.

## **Nature**

He continuously consumes matter, and synthesizes it in his body, reconstructing it into new substances, and expelling it at random as peculiar mechanisms that function only as the result of thaumaturgy, having effects not explainable by any sort of mundane logic.
He is even capable of creating living, breathing, and even sentient beings as shown by his creation of Quinn.

Such mechanisms include the Freezing Seal, which was capable of bringing time itself to a standstill within a certain, albeit small, area. Or the Armour of Magsarion, which was capable of keeping him alive when he was cut in half, and even pulling him back together.

These are the very devices found in the lower levels of Paradise Lost, for the Heaven itself was built upon his corpse.

## **Abilities**

He was powerful enough to kill off all but 30 of the Yazata, and devoured countless stars and planets over his life. In total devouring over 500 galaxies. Thus he is the most feared of the Demon Kings, for his kill count far surpassed that of any other King.

Part of his strength comes from his immortality, for he is unable to die as long as his Star Cluster remains. Making killing him nigh-impossible.

As a Dregvant he is able to impose his will upon the World through the Power of Ego, warping reality to his whims and ways. His is nigh-unmatched through all of Ahura Mazda, only rivaled by Nadare and Bahlavan. For they were the only beings who were able to hold their own in a fight against him.

He is capable of intergalactic travel, moving countless times the speed of light, and if he so desires he can use his Authority as a Star Spirit to instantly teleport anywhere he desires.

Simply looking upon his visage is enough to induce madness, unable to be truly defined in any way, said to resemble a **Hadou** emanating all phenomena. For he had the ability to become a Hadou God, which he has lost due to forgetting his past.

### **Pushpaka Ratha**

*Main article: Pushpaka Ratha*

**Pushpaka Ratha** (プシュパカ・ラタ, *Pushupaka rata*) is Khvarenah's Commandment, in exchange for the binding of "having no choice but to continue giving birth to things that will become weapons", he gets "Becoming an atrocious, mighty incarnation of destruction" as a boon.

It is this that allowed him to constantly continue growing and expanding into a Hypergiant Star, and multiplying Saurva without an end in sight. Making him into a being destined to reduce all to naught.

There is a paradox in this, for the creation of weapons is a denial of the peaceful and beautiful worls be craved. Thus the more he adhered to this Commandment, the more he strayed from his original form and purpose.

### **Visvakarman**

**Visvakarman** (ヴィシュヴァカルマン, *Vu~ishuvu~akaruman*), is his Authority, while this relates directly to his ability to create powerful artifacts, he has forgotten what its details are, and thus he doesn't have full control over it. He simply takes the matter of all he consumes and transforms it into devices capable of impossible things. Even able to bypass Shinga's Law.

Upon awakening more to it before his battle against Magsarion, he was able to call upon it and create a separate space made up of the Everyone that he has consumed, spanning hundreds of galaxies in scope. In here he displayed a vastly greater degree of power, and was capable of producing supergravity thousands of times more potent than Spenta Mainyu (neutron star), and powerful enough to shatter light itself and condenses entire star, and Magsarion with it, to a speck of dust no bigger than tip of a nail, before converging it further to the nothingness. He then reverses vector of that power producing explosion similar to the Big Crunch.

### **Lokapāla Viśvakarman Vāstu**

*Main article: Lokapāla Viśvakarman Vāstu*

**Lokapāla Viśvakarman Vāstu** (ロキャパラー・ヴィシュヴァカルマン・ヴァーストゥ, *Lokapala Vu~ishuvu~akaruman vu~āsuto~u*) Hadou Law, though it is only a False Emanation, unable to reach its full potency due to him being corrupted by the Divine Sword and forgetting of his past and his purpose. And he would be unable to ever reach a true emanation due to his taint.

It is to create a world of "beauty", where all things hold the spark of creativity and the ability to become an ultimate artist. Where all things are of utmost perfection and beauty. Where even conflict is made a nonexistent concept, for all beings exist in a state of prosperity, working together to achieve further and more complete beauty.

It was this beauty that the Asura strived for, the salvation they so deeply yearned.

He called upon it in his fight against Magsarion, and was able to birth a land that allowed no impurity, where all stars of the galaxy are filled with trails of light and billions of structure are created with hundred towers expanding to the end of Nayuta (那由他), beautiful city adorned with monuments and castles and covered by lapis lazuli. There’s no place for any impurity and violence within this realm.

It is said that, even if imperfect, awakening to it made him increase in strength a millionfold.

## **Trivia**

Like the rest of the First Heaven, he is of Zoroastrian origin, likely deriving from the Avestan term "*khwarrah"*or "Glory".

Though in the scriptures this is understood not as an entity, but as a Divine Mystical Force. That is similar to Glory or Fortune.

Two types were labeled out specifically:

*Kavam Khvarenah:*The Glory of Kings and Divinities

*Akhvaretem Khvarenah:*The Glory that both Divinities and Mortals should Strive Towards

The term that I translated as Oblivion, 忘却, is a term that refers to a *Lapse of Memory* or *consingment to oblivion* Which fits well with the amnesia that plagues Khvarenah.

2. ↑ So, it appears that what I ate was much bigger than their "everyone". Although I do not intend to make light of their prayers, I would've liked them to understand my position as well.
— But isn't that about the balance? Father ate their lamentation and became bigger. That was the hope and the despair was balanced.
— I completely agree. That's why my victory was certain, and their defeat was inevitable. Even though it was obvious, for some reason they refused to acknowledge it. Even though they were unreasonable, they were accusing me of being insane.

Father was grieving about them being so unreasonable. Although I didn't felt any wish to console him, I started to see where the conversation was going.
But there was one thing I needed to confirm.

— So, does father think that the people on my side are fools who can't even count properly?
— No. I am sure that they have their own logic. I do not understand it, but I'm not childish enough to just discard it. Although for me their line of thought seems insane, I myself still remember the fear of facing an immeasurable threat.*-Avesta Prolouge: Prayer*

4. ↑ Khvarenah's Commandment. In exchange for the binding of "having no choice but to continue giving birth to things that will become weapons", he gets "Becoming an atrocious, mighty incarnation of destruction" as a boon. That is, his power to grow up to the size of a Hypergiant Star, as well as to keep multiplying Saurva, the Star Cluster of Extinction, without an end in sight, finds its origin in this Commandment.*Glossary 27*
5. ↑ As a result, he fell into a vicious circle: the more faithful he was to his binding, the farther away he strayed from his original form, his Oblivion deepening even further. Let's assume that, as a result of remembering about his truth, he manifested his Hegemony of "Beauty", because that'd result in the breaking of his Commandment, divine punishment would fall down upon him.*Glossary 27*
