From The Codex
Evil Incarnate.
Evil Incarnate.
Turn back, those who defy the will of God. You walk along the path to destruction. Only eternal suffering lies ahead, for you. You come here seduced by the words of a demon. I know all that's befallen you thus far. Go back now, and I shall show you mercy and forgive your trespasses. You cannot possibly comprehend my nature. All things exist because I do. To destroy me would be to destroy your world. You, who were once nothing more than dust, I offer you one final opportunity to turn back.
... So. You've come. Poor, poor son of man, led astray by demonkind. I am YHVH... I am that I am! I am Infinity. The Supreme Being. The embodiment of Law and order. You disturb my realm, trample my design? Worse still, you vilify me... I cannot allow this.
(...) Very well, my cursed child. Have your wish. My lightning shall send you screaming to hell. There you shall burn, awash in suffering, bound to your original sin for all eternity!
~ YHVH

Summary

"The One True God of monotheism. The One True God worshiped in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He is the Omnipotent Existence that created the Heavens and the Earth and made man in his own image, but this also means that together with the angels, his Avatars, he gave birth to demons. By giving humans bodies of flesh and bone, their lives and fears were repeated in the endless cycle of death and rebirth, restricting their range of observation."
— Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Artbook Profile

YHVH is the Hebrew god and the "true enemy" referred to by Lucifer throughout the Megami Tensei franchise. Once an avatar of the the Axiom, he is the ruler of the Law Faction and the entire heavenly host, he seeks nothing more than to continue his tyrannic reign over the multiverse and dooming anyone who dares defy his will. Only the messiahs, select individuals chosen by the Great Will, are able to oppose him and free humanity from his iron grip.

Notable Attacks/Techniques: Mad Creator-God: Yahweh is a Jewish god, whose name consists of four letters of God representing the four basic stages of the creation process. This is the supreme being, the one who created the universe and is it, God the Creator. His only limitation is the cosmic power standing above him - the Great Will.

  • The Voice of God: YHVH's strongest attack. Through his absolute word, YHVH speaks that which is his desire and unquestionable command, sending an immensely powerful wave of energy towards his opponent, that will instantly bring his death on contact.
  • Miracle: YHVH shouts "Repent", sending out a wave of energy that both rips away vast amounts of his foes' magical energy, but also leaves them at the brink of death (With 1 HP, in gameplay terms). Much like Voice of God, it is unavoidable.
  • Mediaharan: A skill that instantly heals YHVH to his maximum health.
  • The Covenant: As humanity perceives YHVH as the one true god, observation causes YHVH to be the one true god, causing allowing him control over humanity’s observation. Thus, so long as humanity perceives YHVH as the one true god, he is incapable of being harmed normally due to his divine nature. Furthermore, all other demons and gods are perceived by humanity to be merely parts of his narrative, causing them to be vilified and fall from grace, becoming demons below YHVH and enforcing his narrative of being the only divine being, causing beings like Baalto become lower demons such as Beelzebub. YHVH’s Covenant also binds all gods except himself to language, making gods like Dagda, who were once one with all of reality, limited by the language of humanity, changing them greatly.
  • Nigh-Omniscience: Yahweh sees and knows everything that happens, has happened and will occur throughout the universe, but only if it is not related to the superior power of the Great Will.
  • Avatars: As God, Yahweh has many aspects and avatars in the universe for dealing with people and for other purposes. The main ones are:
    • Kagatsuchi: The aspect of creation, which carries out the processes of destruction and creation of worlds within the multiverse.
    • Sabaoth: The aspect of leadership, whose name also translates as "Lord of the armies of Israel." Applies physical attacks and absorbs all the elements.
    • Shaddai: Aspect of the destruction of the almighty god. Controls and applies techniques based on light and darkness.
    • Elohim: The aspect that has control over the fire is immune to metal influences, light, darkness and fire.
    • Ancient of Days: The messenger of God, the messenger of destruction, carrying out the fall of mankind once in one cycle of the universe.
    • Metatron: The voice of God, one of the mechanical angels, the personal army of Yahweh.
    • Kazuyu: The weapon of Yahweh for the destruction of the Earth, the nine-headed dragon from Japanese folklore.
  • Golden God: The first appearance of Yahweh, the golden head, showing all the superiority and light of God, and, probably, which is the entire universe of Yahweh. Existing in our own space, God's throne above the universe, Yahweh can still fill the whole dimension with full copies of the head with immense power. This body of Yahweh is completely invulnerable to all kinds of attacks from physical to all-powerful techniques (which ignore any conventional defense), has an infinite supply of strength and energy, and its attacks inflict damage on any opponent with any defense. He is the Absolute, which can only be wounded by the power of the Axiom of people, which transcends the universe.
    • Divine Wave: Deals a large amount of damage to all enemies.
    • Inferno of God: Causes a large amount of fire damage to all opponents, ignoring their defense.
    • Hailstorm of God: Causes a large amount of ice damage to all enemies, ignoring their defense.
    • Lightning of God: Causes a large amount of electricity damage to all enemies, ignoring their defense.
    • Tornado of God: Causes a large amount of ice damage to all enemies, ignoring their defense.
    • God's Mouth: Omnipotent attack, assuredly killing one enemy.
    • Miracle: An all-powerful attack that reduces the health of all enemies to the possible minimum.
    • Luster Candy: Increases the level of attack, defense, and speed of dexterity of all allies.
    • Debilitate: Lowers all the characteristics of all opponents.
    • Divine Harmony: Removes all effects from all enemies.
  • Fallen God: When Yahweh lost control and manifested his dark essence at the thought that he was not the greatest force, he "fell down" and changed like fallen angels, having received a second, almost demonic form. In it, everything "created" comes out of it and takes on the form of beings that form a new body, and above them stands the humanoid figure Yahweh, which tries to keep itself in a normal state. In it, he loses his "benevolence" of God, because of which he forgave everyone and everything. But, despite its outwardly looking instability, it also represents the strongest form, which almost 2 times exceeds the original one. To the past technicians are added:
    • Crush: Causes great physical damage to one enemy.
    • Rampage: Inflicts average physical damage on multiple targets from 6 to 8 times.
    • Planned Chaos: Inflicts average damage with an aspect of omnipotence with the ability to lure to his side, immobilize or cause panic in the opponent.
    • Black Hole: Takes away the magical power of all opponents.
    • Supernova: Causes tremendous almighty damage to all enemies.
    • Infinite Power: Increases all its characteristics to the maximum possible.
    • Unending Curse: Completely reduces all the characteristics of all opponents to the possible minimum.
