    • "They" are nearly impossible to kill and it is extremely hard to Seal or Exile "Them".
  • New Life: "They" gain initial access to the authority that grants all things New Life.

Mythical Creature Form

  • "They" have become a complete Mythical Creature Form. "Their" Mythical Creature Form is a colossal winged female composed of stacked Reproductive Organs. "They" stood loftily, as if holding up the sky itself to prevent it from collapsing, yet "Their" abdomens were entirely hollow.[16]

Sequence 0: Chaos Primogenitor[]

Symbolism

  • Nascent Original Creator of the Next Universe: The Chaos Primogenitor is the Original Sin of the universe, the nascent Original Creator of the next universe. Even though currently "It" is only a Sequence 0 in this universe, "It" holds supreme authority and has the most unique symbolism.[1]
    • The Chaos Primogenitor's special symbolism in this universe can be considered to be on the same level as the Pillar symbolism.[20]
    • The Chaos Primogenitor symbolizes the new beginning of the universe and thus cannot be destroyed normally.
      • The Chaos Primogenitor cannot be fully destroyed even by the Mirrored Original Creator[21] and while "It" can be killed by the Fourth Pillar, with the destruction of the universe and the beginning of a new cosmic cycle, a new Chaos Primogenitor will be born and grow.[21]
    • After being born, the Chaos Primogenitor would become more powerful than other alternate but lesser versions of the Original Creator.
    • Nurturing the Chaos Primogenitor is one of Mother Goddess of Depravity's two most vital symbols and a key reason "She" remains a Pillar even after the Brood Hive's separation.[25][26]
      • Origin of Evil: The Pathway of the Chaos Primogenitor is the Pathway of Evil and Corruption, which includes the Exploitation of Life.[27] As such, "She" possesses the corresponding Honorific Name and symbolism of the Origin of Evil.
      • Once born, the Chaos Primogenitor doesn't belong to "Her" anymore. At the moment, "She" can borrow "Its" power.[28] However, "It" doesn't bring only benefits to the "Her", but also burdens the mother's body as an infant would.[29]
        • "She" can invoke the special symbolism of the Chaos Primogenitor once every Major Month (2,160 years).
          • The extremely special heartbeat of the Chaos Primogenitor about to be born and "Its" imminent entry into reality shattered the Astral Barrier that originated from the Original Creator, as if its original master had recalled it.[26]
          • The normal heartbeats of the Chaos Primogenitor helped "Her" accelerate the accommodation of the rebelling Brood Hive, despite being disrupted by the countless Marionettes and Avatars from the Lord of Mysteries.[25][30]
        • If "She" borrowed this special symbolism for less than 2,160 years after the last use, the Chaos Primogenitor would truly descend into Reality - a devastating catastrophe to "Her"[26] and could cause "Her" to perish despite the symbolism of The Indestructible.[31]
          • In addition, invoking this special symbolism would put "Her" in a state of prolonged weakness for centuries[26] that cannot be recovered using New Life.[31]

Authorities[1]

  • New Life: "It" can endow all things with spirit, including enemy attacks.[1]
