The Axiom

	"Mature Content"
	This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

The Axiom is the creator and overseer of the Megami Tensei Multiverse and a being often associated with YHVH, once its most prominent avatar and currently its enemy.

Their avatars' personalities are often very similar to YHVH. They appear as godly beings that stand on a high moral ground and present themselves as the road to salvation, but are ultimately ruthless, arrogant and cruel, only caring for their power and long standing regardless of any cost. Most of them are extensions of YHVH's will rather than separate from him, and as such often act on YHVH's behalf. Those that are not tend to take YHVH's place as the God of Law and are similar in personality. Though the true nature of Axiom is revealed within Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, where Stephen notes that the Axiom chooses Messiahs to defeat YHVH or other beings similar to him. Specially choosing two Messiahs (Flynn and Nanashi) to kill him in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.

Usually, avatars of the Axiom appear as the final boss of the games they are in, as well as their main antagonist. However, a few appear as recurring endgame bosses.

It is implied that, blinded by presumptuousness, YHVH and his avatars/extensions do not fully grasp the Axiom as they claim. They acknowledge that the Axiom produced them to rule the universes on its behalf, but fail to understand that their eventual demises at the hands of the protagonists is also the will of the multiverse, as explained by Stephen in Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse.

Statistics

Tier: At least 1-A, likely Higher

Name: The Axiom, The Great Will (Though this is sometimes referring to YHVH also), The Universal Will (Though this is also sometimes referring to YHVH also)

Origin: Megami Tensei

Sex: Sexless (It is a non-physical being with no true sex)

Age: Inapplicable (The Axiom precedes even YHVH and other demons in existence, who are natural residents of The Expanse, a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse)

Status: Alive

Alignment: True Neutral (The Axiom is a neutral benovelent creature that gives people the ability to defeat YHVH with Observation, but never directly interfering themself)

Classification: God, Supreme Being, Creator of Observation

Dimensionality: Devoid (The Axiom is the very being that created observation, which gave humans the ability to give concepts to the universe, allowing humans to assign an answer to phenomena without an answer, giving things without form, a certain and stable form, with The Axiom existing even beyond this. The Axiom is even less definable then demons, who embody the phenomena and beliefs of humans, with their physical forms only being created due to humanity's observation locking them into these forms, and their true forms existing as the phenomena and beliefs they reside in. Even attempting to say his infinitesimal lesser avatar's name, will cause a static-like sound as his mere name cannot truly be heard or comprehended)

Attack Potency: At least Meta Hierarchal Multiverse level, likely Higher (The Axiom is the most powerful being in the verse, existing in a realm beyond every other realm prior, being beyond even the likes of Matter Lucifer and YHVH. Was the very being that granted humans observation, and tasked them with observing the universe, with the ability being the reason for Gods and demons existing. Which would include beings such as Matter Lucifer, who transcended into a higher plane of existence beyond even YHVH. YHVH is the progenitor of all gods and all religions from all around the world, existing as the one true original god. Turned all other gods in the pantheon into demons. He is viewed as an omnipotent existence that created everything A single manifestation head is so far beyond all of creation that not even his creations blades can harm him. YHVH is a being who created infinite universes, and exists beyond the very boundaries of time within the multiverse. The multiverse is composed of information and data, further proven with Stephen having attacks that can code beings that the world, this would make SMT a mathematical multiverse falling under the level 4 multiverse, a multiverse where every possible mathematical structure and be described at some level, which would include any possible level of reality that can be conceived of using set theory. Which would include planes such as Akarana Corridor a void that transcends time and space, with it requiring a special ritual to enter, where even the Herald of Yatagarasu cannot put Raidou into this place, putting it beyond even The Expanse a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse. Beings such as Metatron, are amped by them by in their fight against an end game Demi-fiend. His avatar Kagutsuchi, created and sustains the Vortex world, which was resulted from him erasing the past, present and future of the universe, in order to construct the Vortex World in its foundations. Exists as the light that encompasses and administers all of creation within the Amala universe that is said to contain countless worlds along with being the source to creation with his defeat causing the destruction of the Amala universe. Merged the Demon World and the Divine World into the remnants of the human realm to create the Vortex World; the Demon World, best known as the Expanse, is a higher plane of existence that transcends past, present, and future of the multiverse. Capable of empowering the Reason Gods, among which is Ahriman, in order to allow them to reshape the foundation of the Vortex World and birth a new reality. His true form is far beyond single manifestation heads are a single part of his true self that controls the entire cosmos, with each head having control over a universe. The multiverse and his manifestation head are infinitesimal in size compared to him, and he exists as an incomprehensible transcendent being overseeing everything in his creation. His universe is a place beyond reality that is more vague and more infinite then anything the cast has seen before which includes areas such as the expanse and Akrana Corridor, and his single manifestation head. Viewed as so immeasurably powerful that the combined cast of SMT IV Apocalypse, needed to deny his divine nature and form understandings repeatedly through the use of obseravtion in order to defeat him. A small glimpse of it's being caused Stephen to be so powerful he could fight off all four of the Messiahs at once)

Durability: At least Meta Hierarchal Multiverse level, likely Higher

Striking Strength: At least Meta Hierarchal Multiverse Class, likely Higher

Lifting Strength: Inapplicable

Travel Speed: Inapplicable (In a plane beyond everything before, which is beyond even all of the concepts made by humanity's observation, which includes the Gods that embody said concepts)

Combat Speed: Inapplicable

Reaction Speed: Inapplicable

Stamina: Limitless

Range: At least Meta Hierarchal Multiversal, likely Higher (The Axiom guides all from the plane it resides in)

Intelligence: Omniscience (The Axiom is aware of everything, being the one to fate and guide the Messiahs through their entire journey, having immutable unbroken laws, which only one who caught a glimpse of him could break. Stephen, catching a glimpse of the Axiom made him a cosmically intelligent being)

Further more, this protection allows the messiahs to succeed in battles in which they had no hope of winning previously, be revived if they are defeated in battle, survive events that would have lead to their demise, and unite with individuals that would further progress their journey), Life Manipulation & Death Manipulation (Created the infinite Cycle of Transmigration, in which any that die return to the Axiom who controls the cycles of life and death, reincarnating all beings anew), Created humanity and gave them Observation, which would give it: (Observation (Varies between Types 2 & 3; Observation users consciously and unconsciously change truths around them creating Gods and demons from myths and rumors), Negation (The power of observation, has the ability to make something without form, be certain and stable, The Axiom, tasked humans with observing the universe, allowing humans to assign an answer to phenomena without an answer. Dagda mentions humanity's "understanding" (observation) is what's locked him and Danu in physical forms. Nanashi and his party's denial of YHVH cast him into a demonic form. Gods and demons exist within a human's observation. Demons that also exist beyond death can be killed by observation users), Negation of Null Existence (Type 3. Can kill The White and demons, who naturally exist within the expanse, which the Monochrome Forest exists within the expanse, a place that is eerily still, having no sound or smell, where even the ground itself feels unusual, which demons naturally exist in.

It is noted by Lucifer that only a human can kill gods and demons, that when gods and demons try to fight each other the most they can do is seal each other. Permanently killed YHVH. All demons are reliant on the observation of humans to keep them existing, including even nonexistent demons such as The White, allowing them to come back even if they’re erased from existence and nonexistence. Along with this, all demons that die return to The Axiom and reincarnate. This allows demons to die and come back in a short timeframe due to their continuous existence from The Axiom and the observation of humans. This means even if all of reality were to cease existing, The Axiom would still exist within it, allowing demons to regenerate back.), Negation of Dimensionless Existence (Type 2. Demons only have "forms" due to the observation of humanity with even some demons being in the lowest form of humanity's observation making them unseeable without help, the "true forms" of demons are in truth without the concept of form, without observation they are not certain nor stable, are a phenomena without an answer and are unbound by concepts such as truth completely unshaped by reality.
