Ilias, Goddess of All Creation (MGQ)

Personality: Ilias initially puts on a facade of being a benevolent Goddess towards humanity. Even during this facade she doesn't hide her desire to destroy all monsters, falsely claiming that they are her “failed creations". Once there is no need for this deception, Ilias shows herself to be extremely cunning, selfish, self-centered, and manipulative. She does not care for most people, not even her faithful worshippers, only paying attention to a select few such as Luka. Most are viewed by her as expendable pawns, and she is willing to lie to and sacrifice them in order to achieve her true goal. Ilias is pragmatic enough to work with monsters like Black Alice and renegade angels like Promestein, albeit with the intention of eventually betraying them.

Fundamentally, Ilias is a lonely person. She spent billions of years with the only other person being Alice I, who she could not communicate with due to incompatibility between light and darkness. Creating angels did not help as this simply meant that Heaven became an echo chamber. The isolation grated on her mind and, having no other input than the fawning praise of her angels, she took it to heart and became convinced that she had to become a controlling deity, as she came to believe that she couldn't be anything other than a Goddess. This stopped her from being able to form healthy relationships with mortals, or even her own angels for that matter.

While Ilias hates monsters in general, she hates Succubi the most, as they drown in pleasure and make a mockery of life itself. It is also said that Minagi, one of the Six Ancestors and progenitor of all succubi, is Ilias's most hated monster.

Ilias is willing to give considerable help to Luka, her most important pawn. Whenever he (and by extension the player) is defeated by a monster, Ilias gives him advice on how to defeat that enemy and brings him back in time to try again. However, her descriptions can sometimes be vague and are often insulting. As the game continues, she will grow increasingly wary, breaking the fourth wall as if she was aware of the many, many losses the player may go through (and may assume their actions were intentional). Her comments begin to regard Luka as a pervert, foodstuff, and a slave to the monsters he encounters.

In Chapter 3, despite Ilias revealing her antagonistic ways and much to Luka’s surprise, she continues to do evaluations. Before starting, she claims that the one doing the evaluations is the tiny glimmer of her conscience “in the dirty, polluted river that is her heart”; however, she continues to belittle and insult him like she did in previous evaluations. In the final battle against her, Ilias reveals that this was a lie and she was only “leading” Luka to allow her to achieve her goal.

Biography:

• Past: Billions of years ago, Ilias was formed out of the light of the universe while her counterpart, Alice I (First), was simultaneously formed out of the darkness of the universe.

Millions of years ago, out of loneliness as light and darkness cannot cross, Ilias began creating offset images of herself: the Angels, beginning with the twin Seraphs Micaela and Lucifina, who were followed by many more. Unsatisfied, she came to a world with primitive life and slowly changed its creatures and landscape into her own image, artificially producing humanity at which point she dubbed her work “complete”. At the same time, her dark counterpart also gave birth to monsters in a quicker and more controlled manner, an ability that Ilias was jealous of.

One thousand years prior, recognizing that the monsters existed to parasitically leech off humans, Ilias waged war against Alice I, a confrontation now known as the Great Monster Wars. Although her rival held more specialty in creating beings for combat, they both realized that if their fighting continued, everything would be destroyed. Alice I hesitated, but Ilias continued her onslaught and threatened everything they both had worked for. Ilias then took advantage of this and proposed that if Alice I and the Six Ancestors, the lineage of all monsters, would seal themselves, Ilias would not harm their creations. With no other option, Alice I was forced to comply; however, she created a counterbalance to her seal: if Ilias broke her promise, the release of dark energy would undo the seal and her ultimate enemy would be set free.

Ilias’ religion spread far and wide across the world, with the exceptions of the isolated Yamatai Village and, obviously, Hellgondo, the northernmost continent and the seat of the Monster Lord. Her following was stronger in more southerly regions, with the southernmost continent bearing her name and having many locations named for her. Her religion contained five commandments: (1) “Thou shalt not have intercourse with monsters”; (2) “Be dutiful in your prayers”; (3) “Point your sword at the Goddess and thou shalt cry” (sometimes applied even to statues of Ilias); (4) "Thou shalt not rely on other gods"; (5) "Thou shalt not disgrace the Goddess." Initially, Ilias also forbade humans from using technology, even fire. One of Ilias' angels, Promestein, broke this rule and taught humans to use fire, for which Ilias sentenced her to centuries of imprisonment.

However, Ilias continued to desire the destruction of monsters. She sent Heroes, such as the legendary Heinrich, to go on quests to destroy the current Monster Lord and defeat any monsters they encounter on their way. In return for their “unwavering service,” she gave them her blessing at a coming-of-age ritual, which is said to protect heroes by making their semen taste like angel liver (which, according to Alice, is repulsive). Although her blessing provided a measure of safety from the more erotic attacks from monsters, they may have been at greater risk from physical attacks and being devoured as they were useless as a source of semen. Ilias also devised a countermeasure to the Six Ancestor's Great Seal: she saved Black Alice from being killed by Heinrich (though the exact details of this are very vague) so that she could control the dark energy released from killed monsters. Sometime after his battle with Black Alice, Heinrich fought against Ilias and killed many angels, but he ultimately fell in battle. As punishment for breaking her third commandment, Ilias tore out Heinrich's soul and sealed it in the Sealed Sinner's Prison. At the behest of Black Alice, Ilias released Promestein from her imprisonment in order to recruit her to create her own twisted versions of monsters, the chimeras, to assist in maintaining the darkness in the universe. However, due to her decisions, some of Ilias' followers began questioning her, and ultimately the Seraph Lucifina rebelled.

Thirty years prior, Ilias finalized her ultimate plan and set it in motion, starting with Remina. She sent her angel and chimera forces to annihilate the humans and monsters who were living together in peace, creating the event known as the Slaughter of Remina. This atrocity, the destruction of a peaceful village that was the epitome of coexistence and could've lead to the seed of a prosperous future with monsters and humans alike on the other continents, severely damaged the relationship between humans and monsters (as it was believed that monsters were responsible, despite monster corpses also present), though there were angel feathers left behind afterwards, hinting towards the true perpetrators behind the killings. This incident caused another one of Ilias' Seraphs, Micaela, to rebel shortly after the cruel, unjustified slaughter.

During the reign of the Monster Lord Alice XV, a group of heroes led by Marcellus went out to defeat the Monster Lord. They succeeded, but only due to Alice XV wanting to be killed by them, and her daughter Alice XVI proceeded to kill half the group in anger. The survivors, Marcellus and Lazarus, proceeded to found the anti-monster terrorist organization Ilias Kreuz in the name of Ilias. They took Ilias’s teachings to extremes: for example, interpreting “Thou will not have intercourse with a monster” to mean “Thou shall not have any contact with a monster”.

Entry: “The Goddess who created the world. Though she holds enormous power, she’s rarely seen on the Earth itself. However, her will is handed down to the humans living on the Earth and she is revered as their goddess.

It’s said that she hates her failed creations, the monsters, but loves humanity. She would object very strongly to being included in this [Monster Encyclopedia].”
