| “ | You speak of your older sister. Surely you are more of a young goddess than that, Nyx! What point is there in grieving her death? She died because it was her time. Her life served its purpose - to give care to you, and then become my nourishment. | ” |
–Azathoth to Nyx. | ||
Azathoth, also known as the Blind Idiot God, the Daemon Sultan, and the Nuclear Chaos, is a cosmic and boundless deity of colossal proportion and the great and all-powerful ruler of the Old Ones. He is omnipotent beyond the power of the Great Old Ones, such as Cthulhu, and even his fellow Outer Gods, including Yog-Sothoth and Yibb-Tstll, and all other beings and is the sole most powerful being in the entire Lovecraftian pantheon.
He is the main antagonist of the War of the Gods Arc of the Story, High School DxD: Mightverse. He is also a major antagonist in the Spin off: Goddess of Night.
Overview
| “ | here were, in such voyages, incalculable local dangers; as well as that shocking final peril which gibbers unmentionably outside the ordered universe, where no dreams reach; that last amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the centre of all infinity—the boundless daemon-sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes; to which detestable pounding and piping dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic ultimate gods, the blind, voiceless, tenebrous, mindless Other Gods whose soul and messenger is the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep. | ” |
–H.P. Lovecraft about Azathoth, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. | ||
Azathoth is the all-powerful ruler and the Progenitor of the Old Ones and the rest of the Lovecraftian Pantheon. He is the father of Nyarlathotep, Magnum Innominandum, Magnum Tenebrosum and Cxaxukluth. He has been one of the entities that has be seen as a symbol for the Primordial Chaos, along with Chaos and many others.
Azathoth's precise appearance is only hinted at throughout the Mythos, and indeed may be unknowable by mortal beings. It is described as occupying a position outside of the universe, where it is attended by a cohort of alien servants who continually bathe it with the sounds of pipes and drums. Though it is the ruler and creator of all existence, it is described as "a blind idiot god", oblivious to the universe and the beings within it.
Aside from the title of the novel fragment, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath was the first source by the false prophet H.P. Lovecraft to mention Azathoth.
Appearance
There can be no definite description of Azathoth because everybody envisions him differently and he is always changing. His body is said to be composed of all the bright stars of the visible universe, but his face is veiled in darkness. His true form is changed to be the most eldritch of the Old Ones.
In his human form, Azathoth has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking tall man with a long face, broad chin, and pronounced cheekbones. He has long black hair, which reaches to his lower back, and reddish-brown eyes with thin eyebrows. He has well-kept mutton chops and a connected mustache, but is otherwise clean-shaven. His usual attire consists of a white, double-breasted trench coat, which has the Old Ones symbol on the middle, with large buttoned cuffs and lapels, white trousers, and trench boots. Over this, he wears a tattered, ankle-length maroon-black cloak, which has a red ribbon near the neck and is fastened to the left with a single large button.
Personality
Azathoth's mind was destroyed due to its power, so it holds no real personality. It holds no intellect, no reasoning power, control, malice or empathy. It is a sentient fool that could obliterate reality and not even register or realize.
History
Powers & Abilities
Immense Strength: As the oldest of the Outer Gods, Azathoth is undoubtedly the strongest god of the Lovecraftian Pantheon and will continue to be so until Cthulhu eventually consumes him. According to Chronos, he makes his son Nyarlathotep look like a puny school bully in comparison. He was able to throw Issei and his companions around like ragdolls, displaying impressive strength. None of the Elder Gods could keep up with him in a one-on-one with the exceptions of Nyx and Shiro.
Nigh-Omnipotence: As a Ruler of the Outer Gods, Azathoth possesses a higher and much less powerful variation of his nigh-omnipotence.
- Questionable Omnipotence: All of reality is Azathoth's dream, including the multiverses and the infinite spaces. Even Yog-Sothoth, a being who all of reality is just a part of, is a part of Azathoth's dream. If Azathoth wakes up, then all of reality will cease to exist. However, it's unknown if Azathoth is part of some bigger plan, or how strong he really is.
- Future Prediction: Azathoth can see everything that is to occur from the present moment into the far-flung future. He can everything that lies within that gaze. Rather than seeing a linear future, Azathoth observes all possible futures at once like countless grains of sand in the wind, and can thus act accordingly using the knowledge he has gained to anticipate and counter his opponents.
- Reality Warping: Azathoth could warp the reality around he into anything and everything that him desires, as long as they fit into the natural order set by the Primordial Entities. He could easily warp the Mount Meru and turned it into various worlds just to show Indra.
Shadow Manipulation: Azathoth is able to create portals using his Shadows, however unlike other Outer Gods, Azathoth does not use a stance to summon a portal, he instead can use it at will without any movement. Azathoth can even choose the individuals he wishes to summon.
Immense Durability: As one of the Outer Gods, Azathoth is a considerably resilient combatant, piercing his own throat and impaling himself with a Energy Sword during his fight with Izanagi without slowing down or showing any signs of physical strain afterward.
Immense Speed: During his battles, Azathoth is very fast, able to outmaneuver a number of relentless assaults from Issei in his True Diabolos Dragon God form. He is able to move faster than the eye can follow, such as when he successfully avoided Issei's Sonic Booster Knight.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Azathoth possesses a certain of proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. He was able to quickly subdue and pin down Hyoudou Issei, who had his Diabolos Dragon's Armor active at the time, before the latter could react or defend himself properly.
Master Swordsman: Azathoth is proficient enough in swordsmanship to effortlessly clash with and repel a ultimate god-class combatant. In battle, he can easily perform a take-down on his opponent with one hand while wielding his sword in the other.
Genius-Level Intellect: It's unknown on how truly "intelligent" it is. It is stated to be the Supreme Intelligence and is likely omniscient due to its all-encompassing nature.
Flight: Azathoth demonstrates the ability to stay afloat in mid-air.
