There exist also humans who by way of their own acts (業, gō ?, lit. "the human that becomes a seed-bed") cannot withstand the strain, it is commonplace for self-annihilation (自壊, jikai ?) of the host to occur, dispersing the essence of the demon into the vicinity. In general, demons are existences that take possession, utilizing the corpus of a human to incarnate (受肉, juniku) and take action, but in the event that the psyche (精神, seishin ?) of the human host (苗床になる人間, naedoko ni naru ningen ?, lit. "disperse / retreat"), but that's a different story.) (※ There is in record only a single instance in which an Enfleshed Demon was forced to disperse (退散, taisan ?, lit. "Incarnated Demon") are that with which humans are incapable of competing 太刀打ちできない (tachi-uchi-dekinai, lit. They are as an abyss (淵, fuchi ?) that lies within arm's reach, yet decisively beyond comprehension.ĭistinct from those demons from Stay Night, which exist only as imitations, the real thing - Enfleshed Demons (受肉した悪魔, juniku-shita akuma ?, lit. Holy Mother of the Abyss ( Shub-Niggurath WP)Įven in the world of Extra, the concept of Demons (悪魔の概念, akuma no gainen ?) is by humanity treated as the greatest of obstacles so as God is to omniscience and omnipotence (全知全能, zenchi zenou ?), so as demons as an existence are to mortal levels of awareness and impotence (人知無能, Jinchi Munou ?, lit.Evil God of the Flowers (花の邪神, Hana no Jashin ?)

It is said that True Daemons are similar to the gods described in the mythos. Although they're aberrant in nature, they do possess flesh and as such are entities of finite life, albeit of a sort that resembles no living thing in existence. Gilles also notes that the Outer Gods are not existences that are conceptually or metaphysically indestructible, their true nature is simply beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend. While they fundamentally act of their own accord, there are relationships such as alliances and opposition among them. He also states that currently the majority of the Outer Gods are sealed. If the Earth is left to their care, it is unknown what would happen, but Gilles states that it would be quite bad. They assert territorial claim upon the Earth and claim to be the creators or inventors of Earth's lifeforms. They are removed of the Common Sense of Man, the laws of physics, the principles of magecraft, and from human mentality, making it normally impossible to interact or communicate with them without being driven hopelessly insane or worse. They are higher dimensional life forms, Foreigners, which a "single dreamer" WP correctly determined the presence of in his fictional mythos WP.Īccording to Gilles de Rais the Outer Gods are entities that are strong, gross and large in size. Outer Gods (外なる神, Sotonaru Kami ?), also called Evil Gods of the Abyss (深淵の邪神, Shinen no Jashin ?), are existences of another universe, also known as Outer Universe (外宇宙, Gaiuchū ?), that beyond of even parallel worlds.
