UMAE 2026 - The Demiurge
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon
THIS TURNED OUT PERFECT! Seriously, I can't add anything else that wouldn't ruin the composition. I tried, and it all looked terrible. Anyways, yeah, The Demiurge is a thing in ULTRAMagic Alternate.
The Demiurge was featured in Lore Entry 36 - Fool's Stones, but I will include a blurb of lore here.

The Demiurge – The great deceiver, the architect of order, the shadow of God. The Demiurge is a primeval entity formed when the Eon of Wisdom, Sophia, reached out into the primordial darkness and created a great rift. This rift gave rise to The Demiurge, who would assist God in the creation of The Cosmos. Responsible for the existence of the world soul, he gave rise to further disparity when he, in his arrogance, declared “I am God, and there is no other beside me.” This was a lie, but was viewed as a challenge to the authority of God, leading the gods to speak up, and begin influencing the Cosmos.
Evil owes its existence to The Demiurge, but The Demiurge did not create evil, for he is not an evil entity. When is blinded by ignorance and seeks gnosis from the material, they embark on the path of The Demiurge in order to usurp him, thinking they will reclaim their destiny. They claim all of God's creation and eliminate anyone who stands in their way, only to come face to face with The Demiurge. The Demiurge laughs, for when evil reigns supreme, there is still one above them. And when these champions of fear and ignorance challenge The Demiurge, they always fail, as The Demiurge is at his strongest when there is only one, and The Demiurge refuses to abdicate his throne.
Where The Demiurge lies is unknowable to man, but it is said that he resides in the deepest depths of The Dream Realm, where he can shape chaos to his heart's content. One may learn from The Demiurge, but never elevate him to a pedestal or tear him down from one. To believe the lies of The Demiurge is to seek gnosis from the material. In a sense The Demiurge is the ultimate test of piety and enlightenment, for if one can maneuver the convincing lies of The Demiurge, the road back to The Source is open and paved with elucidation the likes of which one has never seen before.

Yeah, remember how this entire series started out as AU for Glitchtale? And how I like to riff on that series and my own AU? I mean jeez, ULTRAMagic Interval was written as a remake of that AU to fix my mistakes. Look at where we are now, you know what I mean? Does Glitchtale have The Demiurge? No, It doesn't... or at least I'm pretty sure it doesn't, ha. I abandoned that series a long time ago.
