Nadare (ナダレ, Nadare), also known as World Collapse (崩界, Hōkai) or her original name, Sita (シータ), is one of the Seven Great Demon Kings of the First Heaven and the Sensory of Shinga. Despite her relative inactivity she is ranked 2nd among the Seven. Her old name was erased and forgotten even by her.
She is the incarnation of the Malignancy of Contradiction (矛盾, Mujun) [1]
Nadare is not a name, but a title granted to her, that which makes her "Everyone's Demon King". An abberation with certain authorities and abilities over the entirety of the cosmos.
With each new cycle of Ahura Mazda, a new Nadare is elected by Mithra, and with the death of each Nadare a new era is born. It most often goes to the last remaining Black, but Mithra can opt to choose one of White if they interest her enough, but has to be stained Black before the coming of the new era, and her successor was marked to be Ferdows.
Personality[]
All of these contradictions work together perfectly. Conflicting, yet harmonious.
She is a teasing and gentle individual to her "fellow" Demon Kings.
She is incapable of changing, and thus exists in eternal shame and remorse and lost her luster by kneading all the negative emotions and experiences of frustration that plagued her mind. She had even attempted to commit suicide and end the world, but she had a binding placed upon her that left her unable to take her own life.
She wishes to adhere to old labels and return to the days when she was called good. She considers herself before becoming Nadare to have been clumsy and unpleasant, but ultimately believes that she had fun.
She wishes to be the last Nadare so that the eternal cycle would finally meet it's end; for she has never achieved anything, and doesn't want to give up her right to the position. And she would spend all the time it takes so that no new individual would be able to take her place ever again.
She expresses a sort of kinship with Magsarion, neither has interest in shaping the future, but both are obsessed with the singular goal to be the decisive which brings it about.
Abilities[]
As a Demon King she is among the most powerful beings in the First Heaven, she is rated second only to Khvarenah in the danger she poses, though this is only due to her inactivity. Yet, despite her power putting her head and shoulders above all others, this does not come from strength alone, but rather from the nature of her existence and of her abilities.
She controls an enormous singularity known as Angra Mainyu that she can cause to manifest or vanish anywhere in the Cosmos, appearing seemingly at random and without any form of predictability. And she is capable of pulling beings into it, as shown by Taurvid and Zaurid.
She has no true combat skill or experience to speak of, and her Power of Ego is weak, though more than makes up for it through extraordinary abilities that can effect you no matter where you are, throughout the entirety of the cosmos. Making her inescapable. She is also incapable of dying unless certain conditions are met, for only when all other Demon Kings are dead can she invite in the Hero of the era to fight her, in which the enforced immortality of Angra Mainyu vanishes and allows her to finally perish.
Her original Commandment was completely erased when she became Nadare.
Like many Sensories, she is described as having a unique atmosphere around her that throws minds into chaos just by facing her.
She wields a double-bladed sword of Black and White.
Nadare's sword which is double bladed recalling that of Mithra
Fractured World[]
Main article: Fractured World
A mysterious ability possessed by Nadare that has displayed myriad applications, but can largely be summarized as the ability to attach and detach objects from one another.
On a small scale this can be used to fuse individuals into chimera-like beings, as shown by what she did to Zaurid and Taurvid. But on a larger scale she is capable of moving around Stars and Planets all across the Universe, moving them to her will, rearranging the Cosmos. This is even capable of moving Star Spirits without their consent, and even without their awareness of being moved. But regardless of scale, they are both alike to a being such as her.
It is not like a Commandment, the Power of Ego, or even an Authority. It is simply something she can do for she has the authority to do so, and unlike that of normal Star Spirits, she can apply this upon the entirety of the universe, not just to those within her own form.
As shown in her battle against Magsarion, she is capable of applying it to her blades, so she can cut absolutely anything, going even further than separating intermolecular bonds of something, to cutting down ideas and concepts themselves.
Commandment: Vendidad[]
Main article: Vendidad
Vendidad or Collapse of Delusions (迷妄の崩れ) is a Commandment enforced upon every Nadare throughout the history of Ahura Mazda. In exchange for the binding of "Acting as the supervisor of the struggle in between Good and Evil", they get "Obtaining the power of a Sensory of God" as a boon.
As a result, Nadare becomes God's material, visible body, like unto a universe condensed into a single, human form.
This enforces those bound by it are made to fill the role of Nadare, made to exist for the purpose of bringing about the Great Tentsui through their defeat. This colour is immutable, and any actions going against this goal fail altogether.
Commandment: Angra Mainyu[]
Angra Mainyu is a special Commandment created by Nadare, wherein, in exchange for the binding of "Accomplishing her duty as a true Archdemon", she gets "Being allowed to control fate" as a boon. As she had become the very concept of failure, so to are those who touch or near her will invariably taste failure.
This is a special usage of Fractured World created by herself, and not used by any of the previous Nadare. Where she is able to interfere with vectors and spatial coordinates in order to make her untouchable through the reversal of causality and the alteration of directions.
It is called a sort of Fortune Manipulation, able to make possibilities come to be, rare chances being made inevitable.
The magnitude of the ability grows in proportion to the strength of her opponent. Thus it reached its apex when she fought against Magsarion. Where it doesn't merely stop at changing positions, but even direction of physiological reactions and thoughts begins to do mad. This madness and unpredictability applies to both Nadare and her foe, neither able to truly predict how the world is manipulated.
