Crack theories

[themoonlandian]

True enough.
So...possible collapse because Mephisto realized that the Vatican has a huge freaking library full of stuff the Vatican doesn't even know is there? //Different than what I was originally going to type but I forgot what it was....

uhmm...*facedesk*

Or maybe Mephisto was intending to break apart the Illuminati so that the Vatican didn't know he was a part of it, he could gain their trust, and then eventually reform the Illuminati with a stronger spy than any human or demon they could summon amongst it.

This isn't what I origanally thought and it's killing me. I know it was something that had a good point..Arghh curse you brain! FHAGYASGIHASGIH

Earlier today I logged into the forum with a very specific objective and I forgot what it was and I'm still trying to remember it... Do not worry.

The Vatican has the remnants of the Library of Alexandria... That's why once I had a dream where Mephisto had a daughter who was Hipatia of Alexandria...

[themoonlandian]

The Vatican has much much much more than that, though.
It's almost an information paradise.

But there has to be more to it than that...
The Vatican is so powerful...do you think there is something else Mephisto would want besides knowledge? Or power?

[MetallicArcher]

Yes, they have other books... I just though you were speaking about the Library of Alexandria because it was the largest recollection of knowledge of the Ancient world (and even with that, it is said to actually have been composed from the remnants of another even older library).

I don't know, maybe Satan is really hard to kill and Mephisto is looking for the weapon to do it (will laugh her ass off is said weapon is Caliburn).

The only other thing I can think of is going back to the idea of Gehena being a post-apocalyptic place and Mephisto wants to restore it with human technology since demon magic has failed to do it.

I accept your Gehenna headcanon Archer! *goes back to her little corner*

[themoonlandian]

Oh no I was talking about their entire collection xD
I wish I could go in there.
Though, majority of it I probably couldn't read anyways because it'll be in Latin (and maybe some Greek? Probably....).

Haha I don't think humans will have the answer to destroy Satan unfortunately. Unless. Aliens. xD

I accept that headcanon along with tardar xD
I like that idea. Mephisto obviously loves humans and their entertainment and such; must be a valid reason if he wants to make Gehenna better.
Maybe he wants to be able to watch anime in Gehenna even xD

[tardar-sauce]

He may want to make Gehenna subservient to Assiah and import all of the technologies for demons' Along with restoring Gehenna ofc.

[themoonlandian]

Maybe maybe~

[MetallicArcher]

Haha I don't think humans will have the answer to destroy Satan unfortunately. Unless. Aliens. xD

Or, mashing up with the theory where some demons created the division between Assiah and Gehena to stop Satan...

Satan isn't all powerful naturally but stole the power of other demons by "devouring" their demon hearts, like, maybe there was an entire kin of demons with Blue Flames but Satan was the stronger (or more cunning) and absorbed their power to become unique. So, then, the demons that separated the worlds left a weapon or the secret to kill Satan hiddedn in Assiah... Or maybe I'm thinking too much along the lines of Harry potter with Voldemort using the Horrocruxes to make himself immortal...

[tardar-sauce]

Yeah, but it at least makes Satan fallible. I like this theory, especially where he devoured the demon hearts. It's sort of like Night. Except Night only took one.

[MetallicArcher]

Maybe that's way there are demons (like kitsunes) that do not seem to fit a kin. Maybe there wenre't kins originally. Actually, Mike mad eit sound like kitsunes have their own boss and their ranks.

Night?

[tardar-sauce]

Rin's prototype from the Miyama Uigusu Mansion Incident. He gained a lot of power from dealing ANOTHER demon's heart in Not!Kurikara.

Anyway, yes. It is my personal theory that the nonkin existed before he gained power, and Kin-demons are descended from Satan and the 8 kings after he gained power.

[MetallicArcher]

I don't think the kings are the fathers of that many demons. Maybe we should go to the Gehena thread, we had something already theorised about the reason each King has a different power there....

[tardar-sauce]

I dunno, anything we could theorize about how the other demons were given birth to could be pretty cracky.

[MetallicArcher]

I found it, we were considering Satan having had each King from a different mother... that way their special abilities would come from the mother and Satan would only have the flames.

So, I think either Satan:

- aside from getting rid of whatever other demons of his same kin that existed, devoured the power of the most powerful demons of the other kings to rule them and then passed down an specific power of those to each of the kings.

- he had a son with a demoness of each kin so each king has the power of their mother amplified by Satan's strength, also this served him to have a blood bond to each kin.

- he simply had his sons devour the power of a different kin each, after they were born.
