Background / History

The Evil Gods emerged as a major threat after the expanding God Game attracted ancient, unspeakable beings. They broke the boundaries between Players, empowered those who sided with them to hunt and invade other planes, and contributed to the collapse of inter-player order across the Myriad Worlds 62.

The God Game, the Gods of many worlds, and their Players eventually adopted the Calamity of the Evil Gods version to resist them. Dungeon Rules were introduced specifically as a containment strategy against Evil God invasions 181.

The Land of Rot became a major center of their activity: numerous Evil Gods inhabited its Dungeons, learned the Dungeon Rules, and created vast forces of monsters and fanatics 233. After the Land of Rot's barrier was breached, imprisoned Evil Gods escaped, while portals opened toward worlds aligned with evil and demonic paths 260.

As the Dungeon Rules weakened, Evil God-controlled monsters began developing human-like behavior, laboring, living, and praying in order to produce their own dependents and expand their influence 338.

Classification

Evil Gods

Division	Approximate Equivalent	Notes
Evil Spirit	Demigod	A being carrying part of an Evil God's essence; may potentially evolve into a true Evil God 179 354
Evil God	God	The central category of divine corruptors 354
Pillar	Great One	The highest known division; Pillars such as the Pale Hand and Crimson Eye possess overwhelming influence 249 354

Evil Gods that were originally born from the Sea of Consciousness use only the three divisions above. Fallen members of legitimate god systems may additionally retain the conventional divine sub-ranks: Weak, Lesser, Powerful, and Sovereign 354.

Evil God's Kin

Rank	Notes
Follower	Lowest documented rank of Evil God's Kin.
Low-tier Evil God's Kin	Includes creatures such as the Beast of Plunder 192 206.
Mid-tier Evil God's Kin	Includes the Rat King 206.
High-tier Evil God's Kin	Includes the Kraken, Scarlet Knight, and Shadow Demon 233 236.
Emissary	High-level servant or representative.
Avatar	The highest rank a Kin can reach; comparable to a Demigod 206.

Evil God's Kin do not become independent Evil Gods through this hierarchy. At the Avatar stage, they instead become part of the god they serve, existing as a facet or tenet of that deity 206.

Characteristics and Influence

Corruption and Transformation

Evil God-related materials can corrupt living beings and force them toward transformation and chaos.

• Evil God's Flesh causes corruption, transformation, and an “Embrace Chaos completely” effect 60.
• Accepting even weak corruption can grant traits and Profession Levels, making Evil God boons easy to obtain and spread 203.
• Corrupted individuals may become cultists, fanatics, mutated creatures, or Evil God's Kin 106 187.

Gaze and Mental Contamination

Direct contact with an Evil God can damage a target's sanity and Spirit.

• A gaze from Evil God's Flesh nearly extinguished Xiao Yang's Hope Flame and caused his surroundings to appear blood-tinged 60.
• Repeated Evil God's Gaze effects reduced Xiao Yang's Spirit by nearly 120 points during his first Land of Rot expedition 187.
• Gazes from multiple Evil Gods forced foreign knowledge into Xiao Yang's mind, resulting in the Mythic skill Bestowal of Prayer 187.

Dungeons and Dependents

Evil Gods exploit Dungeons as both prisons and mechanisms for invasion.

• Dungeon Rules were created to suppress Evil Gods, but the same rules can be studied and exploited by them 181 233.
• Their Dungeons can produce enormous groups of Kin, fanatics, and living-domain-like swarms 187.
• As containment weakens, dungeon monsters may become self-sustaining dependents capable of labor, worship, and reproduction 338.

Cross-Plane Invasion

Evil Gods can support invasions across worlds through their followers and aligned Players.

• They granted allied Players the power to hunt and invade other Players' planes 62.
• Cultists can open world portals, allowing corruption and Evil God influence to spread into vulnerable worlds 190.
• Their presence threatens even Super Large Worlds; the God Game tasked Xiao Yang with aiding a world under attack by multiple Evil Gods 187.

Countermeasures and Limitations

• The God Game added an Evil God firewall, protection laws, and an Evil God protection template after detecting contamination from Evil God's Flesh 60.
• Hope Flame is identified as a key protection against Evil Gods; its extinction signals serious contamination risk 60.
• In a stable world under suppressed conflict conditions, Evil Gods cannot freely spread their power 233.
• Evil Gods are not a united faction. High-rank Kin serving different Evil Gods may refuse to cooperate, even when cooperation would benefit them 236.
• Their desires are often simple and extreme—hunger, curiosity, possession, or destruction—yet become catastrophic because of their power 236.
