Appearance
Yahweh manifests before Novia as a pair of immeasurably profound golden eyes; this is described as only a minute fraction of his true being. His hands are enveloped in brilliant flames when he attacks. 37
- Dazzling golden eyes that induce mental numbness even in Novia, who bears Roman divine authority. 37
- A voice that manifests as a vibration capable of shaking planets and the universe. 37
- Hands wreathed in brilliant flame. 37
- Associated with the Great White Throne and Heaven's armies in the Apocalypse vision. 31
Personality
Yahweh is calm, absolute, and impersonal. He regards the cleansing of human desire as a necessary measure to prevent humanity from destroying itself and the planet, even when that purification entails the end of surface life. 37
He does not react with anger to Novia's defiance or even the Omnipotence Paradox; instead, he acknowledges that the question weakens him somewhat, then dismisses the significance of that reduction because the concept of the “One and Only” is unique. 37
Abilities & Authority
Divine Manifestation
Even a slight manifestation of Yahweh's power exceeds the understanding of Albion, the Strongest Dragon. His presence overwhelms Novia despite Novia's temporary authority over the entire Roman pantheon. 37
- Speaks with an absolute divine command that affects Novia's mind. 37
- Produces power described as beyond the planet and beyond the comprehension of a Pureblood Dragon. 37
- Can move at a speed Novia cannot react to, even while prepared. 37
Apocalyptic Judgment
Yahweh's intended Apocalypse is a process of purification: human desires are to be cleansed so that humanity does not destroy itself or the planet. 37
- Declares that all things on the surface will be purified when Novia enters Heaven. 37
- The Apocalypse vision depicts heaven and earth fleeing from the Great White Throne, followed by fire consuming all things. 31
- States that Novia will ultimately ascend to the Spiritual Throne. 37
Authority over Heaven and Ascension
Yahweh's domain is presented as a unique realm within the universe's spacetime void, separated from the planet and inaccessible without passing through Heaven's Gate. 37
- Heaven's Gate is open to Novia, but entry entails cleansing of his sins and the purification of the surface world. 37
- Determines that Novia's soul should have ascended long before the Apocalypse due to an existing spiritual position. 36
- Identifies Novia as the only spirit whose path he cannot discern. 37
Supreme Divine Power
Yahweh is characterized as an omnipotent god capable of destroying creation, heaven, and earth. 37
- Strips Novia of the authority and power of the Roman pantheon during their confrontation. 37
- Neutralizes Novia's attempted weakening through the Omnipotence Paradox without losing his decisive advantage. 37
- His clash with Novia releases energy on a scale Albion considers comparable to Ragnarok. 37
Relationships
- Novia — Opponent during the Apocalypse. Yahweh demands that Novia abandon Satan's power and accept ascension; Novia instead identifies himself as Satan and Lucifer and challenges Yahweh's judgment. 37
- Jesus Christ — Yahweh notes that Jesus has gone to find Novia, calling Novia the only spirit whose path he cannot discern. 37
- Moses — Moses acts in accordance with the apocalyptic order and explains that entering Heaven will lead to purification. 36 37
- Noah — Noah appears alongside Moses during the Apocalypse and recognizes that Novia has chosen an unpredictable outcome rather than ascending as expected. 36 37
Story Role / Major Arcs
The Apocalypse
Yahweh's judgment becomes the final obstacle to Novia's attempt to prevent the Apocalypse. His plan is founded on the belief that unchecked human desire will ruin both humanity and the planet, making purification necessary. 37
Novia reaches Yahweh without entering Heaven's Gate by using the authority of the Roman pantheon, though Yahweh immediately removes that authority. Novia then attacks with the power of Satan, Albion, and his sacred weapons, but remains unable to match Yahweh's overwhelming speed and scale of power. 37
Novia's Final Choice
Rather than ascend alone through the Keys of Heaven, Novia gives every person the right to ascend. This act prevents the Apocalypse's intended conclusion and causes Novia to return to normal in an extremely weakened state. 38
