With that out of the way, you keep hearing the phrase about there being a destroyer (Yveltal) associated with every creator (Xerneas), but about the grandmaster of creation (Arceus)? Destruction repurposes what it destroys for a new life, but what I’m talking about is something that is entirely opposed to creation and existence.
Like, Arceus can create a world, but why would you create a world, that is essentially your own kingdom, without limits? What if when Arceus tried creating a universe, a force of opposing ideals was resisting against it? Like, Arceus is a thesis of chaotic creation, and the opposing being is the antithesis of rigid nonexistence, which made way to the synthesis of a world with logical rules and limits?
The synthesis becomes a thesis, which then gets opposed by an antithesis that exists within the world, which then births a smaller synthesis that progresses into a thesis. It goes on and so forth, thus explaining why there are so many contrasting duo legendaries for abstract things and a complimentary third that rounds them up, like Ideal and Truth, or Life and Death, or Space and Time.
I don’t know. It’s just strange that Arceus sits up there all by itself without anything challenging it.
