Demon King Daimaou cosmology, explanation and character's tier

## **Tier 1**

With this we can say 2 things: mana is the source of all magic in the verse, and the Computer Gods control all mana there is. In essence, this would mean that the whole system of magic = the Computer Gods in terms of power, and thus anyone who scales to the former will scale to the latter. But with that out of the way, what feats do the Computer Gods have?

The Computer Gods can create universes, and these are said to be infinitely vast higher dimensional spaces, which would put the Computer Gods, and thus the system of magic itself, as **Universal+ level**. But then, if the Computer Gods are equal to the entire magic system itself, the source of power for the verse, that mean no one scales, right? Well…

So here we have the Formless Power. In contrast to mana, which is limited, the energy of the Formless Power is infinite, with those who release it gaining a power even greater than magic. Since the energy possessed by the Formless Power is greater than mana, the source of magic, which we established earlier was >= to the Computer Gods, anyone who scales to the Formless Power equally scales to **Outerverse Level**.

This, of course, includes Awakened Demon Kings such as Akuto and Zero, so the Computer Gods, and by proxy, the whole Tier 1 segment of the verse is largely irrelevant to the cosmology as a whole. To further show, this segment doesn't just end as just a single universe.

As this says, there's an infinite number of alternate dimensions, which we already proved above were on the Tier 1 range, effectively making this statement **Outerverse Level.** However, the name that brought everyone here is mentioned there, and that's who we're tackling next part.

The Law of Identity, the God of the Old Planet, the One True God. Even the Computer Gods hail her as a religious figure, the very personification of the sense of self that makes every being be able to say "I am me". She's already a solid 1-A from the quotes above (which also mention the Void Body and the Contract of One needed to create it), but we're going deeper than that to show how far she actually goes beyond the computers.

## **Tier 1 or Higher**

This conversation between Marine and The One seems extremely cryptic and random when it happens, however, it introduces two key concepts that'll be used for the rest of the blog: that there is an afterlife, and that death is liberation.

This quote makes it look purely metaphorical: since an afterlife exists, life is effectively just a lie, since being alive and being dead are functionally the same. However, the next quotes show that when they say "the world is fictional" is totally literal.

Let's tackle this part by part. The world is fictional from the outside, that is, from those on the inside the world is real, but it is fiction to those outside it. The world was created as if it were just someone's dream, but this isn't just all, as said, even if it is a dream inside a dream inside a dream repeated infinitely, it didn't matter at the end, since The Law of Identity would still be its origin point. However, the afterlife is just the next system of fiction. As it says, fiction is an infinite retreat, where the story Akuto comes from is merely the first level, and the afterlife the next one. But there's one way to go beyond this world: death – after all, death is liberation, a liberty that leads to the afterlife, a place outside of this fictional world that thus sees it as fiction, which pretty much puts this afterlife as a **Outerverse level** place, while the enterity of fiction is **Possible Worlds(MetaPhysical)**

All Extra-universal Gods contain their own stories within themselves, effectively meaning they scale to Akuto by that point in the story.

As this shows, Akuto by this point has full control over the afterlife and is able to erase it all altogether, meaning he's effectively on the **Possible Worlds(MetaPhysical)** range. Yet, even then, he's still more than a fictional being to the Law of Identity and he reaches the full extent of fiction.

While the Archetypes are the same type as Akuto and Bouichirou/Hiroshi, putting all 3 on the same level of **Possible Worlds(MetaPhysical)**, the regular Extra-universal Gods aren't, they're merely creators of stories on the same level as Akuto before opening all possibilities.

By performing the Contract of the One, Akuto became a Void Body who carried the souls of all humans within him, and he gave them all to Keena, who took them into herself before going to the Anti-Universe, emptiness within emptiness where all stories end, with it totally freed from totality of all fiction, it is effectively **Logical Possibilities(MetaPhysical)**. The name Empty Universe is mentioned, which was among the names of the previous Archetypes, so it would look like this Anti-Universe is just the Empty Universe again, however, that's not the case.

Here, it is clear Hiroshi/Bouichirou/Kento/the Hero doesn't go to the Anti-Universe with everyone else, instead remaining behind in the Empty Universe created by the Contract of the One, so the Anti-Universe and the Empty Universe are distinctively different things. Also, Hiroshi becomes the new Law of Identity, who obviously also scales to **Possible Worlds(MetaPhysical) level** just as the original.

## **Final Tally**

* System of Magic: **Low 2-C, possibly 1-A** (The Computer Gods)
* Multiverse/Stories: at least **1-A** (Extra-universal Gods)
* Afterlife: **1-M** (Archetypical God Universes)
* Totality of Fiction: **1-M** (No one scales)
* Anti-Universe: **High 1-A, 1-M** (Void Bodies)
* **Law of Identity ( Keena Soga )**: **1-M**
* **Akuto Sai** : **1-M**
