**Ayin**, also known as the **Great Evil Beast**, the **NOT-IS** and the **Anti-God**, is the Pre-Existential Primordial Deity that embodies Antimatter, as well as Darkness, Evil, Impurity, and Chaos, while simultaneously it is the literal opposite of God, the not of what God is. She is also the older "sister" of The Darkness and Barbelo, and the creator of most Demons.

Ayin is the creator of Demons, while Yesh, her brother is the creator of Angels. Ayin is the creator of the Abrahamic Hell, while Yesh is the creator of the Abrahamic Heaven. Yesh is God, and Ayin is the Anti-God. Both are two sides of the same coin; Acceptance and denial, order and chaos, positive and negative, existence and nonexistence, law and disorder, light and darkness, love and hate, good and evil. They are the origin of everything that exists, existed or will exist, as well as everything that does not exist, did not exist and will not exist.

Ayin is the Nonexistence of Nonexistence, being older than nothingness itself that was before time and the universe. It could be said that since the Overvoid is a blank screen, Khaos represents the top part of the sheet, where everything is just white paper, while Ayin represents the shade below it, which is entirely a pitch black screen, with The Darkness being the even darker and farther shadow of the Overvoid, with that shadow being left by the light of God that illuminates the Primordial Trenches.

It is theorized that Yesh came from Ayin (Yesh me-Ayin), that is, God is actually an inferior aspect that came from Ayin, leaving open the hypothesis that probably in a past so distant that not even eternity itself could reach, Ayin was an Entity that embodied light and dark, good and evil, but ended up shattering into two separate entities.

## Overview

According to theories, before time, before light, before anything, there was nothing, and before that, there was fire, which was Ayin, the anti-God and the "sister" of Yesh. Ayin is one of the three main Pre-existential Entities that represents, is and embodies the primal void, alongside Khaos and The Darkness. She is the complete antithesis of God and all creation, the mother of Satan and the source of all evil, it could be said that she created moral evil. While Yesh embodies goodness, light, being and creation, Ayin embodies evilness, darkness, non-being and destruction.

Ayin is the Anti-God, in every sense of the word. She is darkness to light, evil to good, chaos to order; everything that God is and represents, she Is Not. Amoral with no moral conscience. While God says, "I Am That I Am", Ayin says, "I Am That I Am Not". She may look like the Devil, but make no mistake, such an entity is far more destructive than Satan. While Satan is only a ruler of Hell and son of Ayin, Ayin is the creator of Hell, in contrast to God, the creator of Heaven. It is correct to say that she is basically "the other side of the coin" of God, being the "darkest side" of God. When she creates, it is to destroy creation.

Whether Ayin really exists or existed is a matter of debate among the angels, many considered it just a bedtime story for the angels to not want to rebel against God. However, Gabriel believes she exists in some form, as he stated in his notes that "The Great Evil Beast appeared to him in a dream". According to prophecies, at the End Times Ayin will be released from her Prison and will declare war on the Gods of the Heavens.

Although it is difficult to represent or describe Ayin, it can be represented by the number **0**, which is nothing, for that is what Ayin is; the zero of non-thing, the lack of infinity, the dimensionless epicenter from which all other numbers arise, positive or negative. While her co-being, Yesh, can be represented by the **∞

{\displaystyle \infty}**. For God is infinitude and completeness, being measureless in glory and boundless in majesty. The duality between Yesh and Ayin is the duality between infinity and zero.

Some have theorized that God came out of Ayin the same way as "Yesh comes into being out of Ayin" or that something comes into being out of nothing. This would imply a sort of role reversal, instead of Ayin being the Anti-God, God could be considered the "Anti-Ayin”.

## Appearance

Ayin has no true form, and if it does, it is impossible for any human to see it due to Ayin being older than the very concepts of size and distance, being inexplicable and incomprehensible to human eyes. Usually, Ayin is perceived as a giant black hole that destroys the concepts of being, existence, dimensions, light, dark, as well as everything, everyone and anything in existence, while growing infinitely. In short, Ayin is the very concept of non-existence, the yawning void that swallows up everything that exists in the universe.

When she was seen by Michael and Lucifer, Ayin took the form of an expanding field of a blood-like substance. This is her energy, the truest embodiment of a being's essence.

Any human form or vessel she takes physically melts as soon as she gains one. It requires tremendous energy to not have the entire body collapse into a heap of red hot liquid; making it so that her eye sockets and mouth have no organs but instead pour boiling crimson liquid with the consistency of blood.

When Ayin reveals herself in Hell, she is perceived as a gigantic colossal creature, possessing the size of septillion galaxies, with nine heads, each representing a sin (Gluttony, Envy, Pride, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, and Greed). She has ten horns and seven eyes, ten tails and six paws. No wonder her exit from hell means the end of the world, because simply her body would be enough to crush countless planets and stars created by God with extreme ease. Her body is chained by 666 thousand chains with forbidden-level seals in the deepest and darkest parts of Hell, that no spark of God's light penetrates.

## Personality

As a creature of pure nothingness, she is the exact opposite of everything that God is, being truly megalomaniac, evil, chaotic, homicidal, and malevolent. She despises all of existence and wishes only to see it burned down to smoldering ash. She doesn't even hold any love for her younger brother, though she had enjoyed having Him around, though ultimately because of their conflicting concepts and nature, she is against Him, especially after God sealed and/or killed their "siblings"/creations so he could 'selfishly' start Creation.

Regarding humans beings, she see's them as lesser than how humans view bacteria, viewing them as irritating yet practical chess pieces to be used at her leisure. She will often tempt humans to destroy so that it will hurt God's heart, she doesn't care about the action, she cares about its effect. The only being she truly hates is God and the only being that truly terrifies her is Khaos himself, especially when angry or upset.

If there's really anything she really "loves" or "likes", it's the Demons, which are a living manifestation of her own aspects, emotions and feelings. During her "childhood" billions of years ago, she often snuggled with the first demons of Hell. She is very proud of them, calling the Demons her "masterpieces" and is very charmed by their violent nature, often stating how much she loved her children's obedience to destruction. She is just like God who can turn a human into an angel, she can turn a human or angel into a demon, making them one of her "children".

## Powers & Abilities

Ayin is one of the strongest beings in existence, Her power is equal to God's, with God surpassing her "by a bit," but the power difference between them is as insignificant as a rounding error. She is able to easily dethrone any of the Primordials, like Asherah, with a mere snap of her fingers. She's just as powerful as her little sister, Barbelo, barely surpassing her.

Ayin embodies impurity, non-existence, and darkness, in stark contrast to her brother, who represents purity, existence, and light. When she broke free from her prison, the entire Megaverse trembled. When facing Michael and Lucifer, two of the strongest True Archangels, she effortlessly destroyed their physical forms and scattered their essences across creation. Lucifer himself said that her power knows no bounds. Ayin’s power is great enough for her to easily erase many realities from existence.

Her initial defeat necessitated God's enlistment of the True Archangels and Primordials to divert her attention, allowing for her eventual sealing. Her release resonated throughout all of existence, attesting to her unparalleled might.

* **Questionable Omnipotence**: Ayin possesses an immense power that rivals her brother God, Khaos, and Azathoth, approaching infinity, and surpassing her younger sibling, the Darkness. Even the most ancient cosmic deities have started to experience fear upon discovering her existence. She was able to easily defeat her sibling Ouroboros, fatally wounding her in the process. Ayin is considered nearly omnipotent, with the sole exception being her inability to harm or destroy her brother, God, which places her at the utmost threshold of near omnipotence. Despite this the only one who is capable of truly defeating her, is Vitriol the pre-existential cosmic destroyer. Despite being very close, she is also not completely all-powerful compared to her siblings: God, Khaos, and Azathoth.
* **Immeasurable Strength**: As the first pre-existential to be born, Ayin is an immensely powerful entity with powers beyond the comprehension of mortals, angels and even gods. She is a the supreme deity, with almost absolute control over all entities within Abrahamic mythology that are corrupted by evil. She is comparable to the Three Great Titans, which means she is almost as powerful as the three greatest creation deities that exist, excluding the Abrahamic God (her younger brother), responsible for creating the entire Multiverse, including the Abrahamic Heaven, and the Human Realm. Ayin is one of the strongest beings that ever lived, with only a few entities that are capable of fighting her. She is able to fight Khaos and God single handily individually , though she admits that beating her brother is something of an "arm wrestling match".
* **Anti-God**: Ayin is more than just the nothingness before creation, she is nonexistence itself, preceding the very Void that was before creation, she embodies darkness, evil and chaos, representing the dark aspects of the Supreme God, being the destroyer of worlds created by God, the antithesis of creation.
* **Dark Telekinesis**: Ayin wields vast telekinetic abilities of darkness that surpass even the Archangels, Dragons, and the cosmic Primordials. With a mere glance, she effortlessly immobilized the Ouroboros, holding it firmly in place on the ground. Her telekinetic power, however, is not near to Vitriol's level, where he can easily immobilize and swat her from her imprison cell, that Khaos had no choice but to send away Vitriol from an another dimension.
* **Omni-Umbrakinesis**: Ayin possesses absolute and boundless dominion over darkness, embodying its true essence and adapting it to her will. As a testament to her prowess, Ayin can fashion dark tendrils resembling lethal spears, capable of inflicting fatal wounds upon even the formidable Ouroboros. Her aura possesses the extraordinary ability to enshroud an entire planet in a state of True Night, surpassing even The Darkness, Erebus, and Nyx. Furthermore, Ayin can unleash torrents of dark energy bursts with the capacity to obliterate entire planets and galaxies.
* **Nigh-Absolute Invulnerability**: Ayin's invulnerability is nearly absolute, with very few entities capable of posing a threat to her, a count that can be done on a single hand. Only God, Life, Death, Khaos, Vitriol, and Azathoth stand as beings with the potential to inflict permanent and lasting harm upon her. Ayin was durable enough to withstand attacks from all the True Archangels unfazed.
* **Inexistence**: As the personification of non-existence, Ayin can erase everything, from beings to entire universes from existence.
* **Resurrection**: Ayin can effortlessly resurrect billions of dead people at once.
* **Reality Warping**: Ayin has enormous control over reality. Her mere presence alone is able to cause the very fabric of reality to distort.
* **Spatio-Chronokinesis**: As the pre-existential entity, her control over space and time is unrestricted.
	+ **Portal creation**: Ayin has the ability to open portals that lead to anywhere and everywhere.
* **Creation**: Despite embodying destruction, Ayn can create beings and realms. She created the demons and Hell, the greatest of the underworlds.
* **Omnifarious**: Ayin can transform her appearance at will.
* **Absolute Tempestakinesis**: Ayin has great control over storms. She once summoned a dry storm that killed a group of worshippers.
* **Corruption**: Ayin an corrupt anyone inferior to her. She was able to corrupt Lucifer, one of the greatest angels.
* **Possession**: Ayin was able to take control of the body of Phenex, a demon noble.
* **Exorcism**: With a wave of her hand, Ayn exorcised Lucifer.
* **Soul Consumption**: Ayin has the ability to consume souls, which increases her power and knowledge.
* **Advanced Supernatural Concealment**: Ayin can conceal her presence from other beings, including her fellow Pre-existentials.
* **Flight**: With her cosmic power, Ayn can fly at extremely fast speeds.
* **Chaotic Form**: Ayin possess a form so chaotic and incomprehensible that almost anyone who looks at it will become very sick.
	+ **Extinguishing Existence**: Death claimed that Ayin's true form is potent enough to vanquish anyone weaker than a pre-existential from existence.
	+ **Fatal Visage**: Ayin's true form is fatal to the point that it can kill any angel, demon, or god, no matter their rank.
* **Deflection**: Ayin is able to effortlessly deflect nearly any attack sent at her.
* **Absorption**: Ayin can absorb energy to empower herself.
* **Amortality**: Ayin is completely unfazed by death from conventional means.
* **Immunity**: Ayin has immunity towards weapons, magic, poisons, and sicknesses. Only the other Pre-existential Entities' powers can effect her.
* **Absolute Regeneration**: Any wound inflicted on her will heal, no matter how severe. Despite she can be permanently harmed by beings equal and superior to her in power like her brother or Khaos, that damage will always heal in the end.
* **Nigh-Omniscience**: Ayin has knowledge about everything going on in creation, despite being stuck in Hell.
* **Location**: Ayin can locate anyone and anything she wants to locate, except the other Pre-existentials. She easily tracked Hecate's location, even though the goddess was protected by a lot of powerful spells.
* **Nigh-Omnipresence**: Since darkness and chaos exists everywhere in creation, Ayin is present in most, if not all places in creation.
* **Fusionism**: It is said that God and Ayin are able to merge and unite into a single entity embodying the two sides of the coin of good and evil, embodying existence and nonexistence, the IS and the IS-Not, everything and nothing. It is said that such a merger would be more powerful than that of God and Khaos. However, it is considered that such a merger is impossible, in every sense of the word, because it could lead to the destruction of both, forcing the universe to find a new balance to maintain creation.

### Weaknesses

* **Coffin of Eternal Darkness**: This is an immensely potent mystical seal that God affixed to his sister, Ayin, shortly after confining her to Hell, far removed from Creation.

## History

Ayin was supposedly the first of the Pre-existentials to come into existence, although what the term "first" means to an entity who existed before and beyond time is unknown. Back then, she was just as destructive as she is now, except back then she was happy, that all changed when the other Pre-existentials came into being.

While most of the Pre-existentials were happy to do nothing in the vast emptiness of space except floating around, God was not, so he decided to start creating the Megaverse.

God started to create the worlds but several of the other Pre-existential Entities were not happy. Everytime God created a world, they would destroy it.

God eventually became angry at the Pre-existential Entities for destroying his creations, so he created the Arcuthas to help him fight them. With their help, he successfully imprisoned Khaos and Azathoth in the Outerverse.

Ayin used the energy during the war to create a new realm only to stop when she realized that The Darkness was imprisoned like Khaos and Azathoth. Not willing to accept defeat, she personally fought against God. God won the battle and forced her to leave creation, which she accepted. However, she did not hold her end of the deal and went on to corrupt Lucifer and create Hell. Many years later, Ayin found The Darkness when she caused a universal shockwave with her anger and promised to free her. Ayin attempted to do that for over one hundred years before she finally succeeded 2017.

## Myths and Legends

Ayin is a character created by Terrible Scribe of Eternity originally for the *High School DxD Fanon Wiki* before it was moved to *The Demonic Paradise* and eventually the *Gods and Demons wiki*. She is heavily based on the Ayin concept from Kabbalah.

## Trivia

* Similar to the relationship between God and The Darkness, Ayin's relationship to God is similar to the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang, or the belief of contradictory forces being complementary and interdependent, balancing each other out (such as light and dark, life and death, good and evil, etc.).
* Paradoxically, although God and Ayin are totally opposites, both cannot deny each other. If God denies his own existence, he will cease to be God and become Ayin, if Ayin accepts her existence or accepts the good, she will cease to be Ayin and become Yesh. For Ayin is the denial of God and absence of faith - unbelief, while God is acceptance and faith - belief.
* Apparently Yesh and Ayin are eternally reflections of each other, as good and evil are eternally "twin siblings".
	+ Ayin is the Anti-God; her son Satan is the Anti-God the Father; The Man of Sin, believed to be the son of the devil, is the Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet is the Anti-Holy Spirit. For the Holy Trinity there is an Unholy Trinity. Ayin is the creator and embodiment of Hell, while God is the creator and embodiment of Heaven.
* Ayin is a literal Platonic figure, that is, she is the source and origin of evil.
* As revealed by God, Ayin is behind the events that unleashed the chaos in creation, having planned each event through avatars and puppets. However, even her puppets and avatars are unaware that they are controlled by Ayin.
* She is one of numerous beings to be considered the opposite or shadow of God, alongside the Darkness, Therion, Yaldabaoth and others.
