- "In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out."

Capabilities
User is the Anti God/Primordial Void, representing the counterpart or sometimes the dark aspects of a Supreme Deity. They are considered the essence of all evil, darkness, and chaos in existence. As the ultimate destroyer, they are ranked among the most powerful entities.
Universal Differences
- Anti Gods are vital to the balance of the cosmos as they represent the other side of the coin in the perpetual conflict between good and evil.
- As there is only one Supreme God, there can only be one Anti-God.
- Some are not villains but destructive aspects or forces vital that are charged to bring the universe to an end.
- The Anti-God is not to be confused for a demon but is the originator of all demonic forces and everything related to it.
- Though they existed before the universe itself their origin can be originated from 3 sources:
- They may be split or purged aspects of God's dark attributes (ex. Tathamet from Diablo).
- Twin or counter aspects of God (ex. Angra Mainyu from Zoroastrianism).
- Primordial form of existence which existed before the creation (ex. The Darkness from Supernatural).
- Whereas God plays the role of "Creator", the Anti-God plays the role of "Destroyer".
Applications
Anti-Gods are beings of unlimited power giving them the ability to destroy entire universes; in some cases even compared to the supreme creator, a clash between them could cause the multiverse to be destroyed and recreated. Anti-Gods represent and are the prime originators of all that counters creation, giving it absolute domain over dark powers.

Limitations
- The Anti-God may be less powerful than the Supreme Being.
- If Omninescient, the Anti-God may be unable to comprehend the Supreme Being's creation.
- Alternatively, the Anti-God may be stronger than the Supreme Being, meaning entropy will always prevails in the end.
- If Omninescient, the Anti-God may be unable to comprehend the Supreme Being's creation.
Trivia
- Having an Anti-God existing is obviously unlikely because the Supreme Being already embodies both creation and destruction, but this depends on the verse in question.
