My Theory on Cosmic Balance: Why Rimuru is the Moral Counterweight to Veldanava's Despair (LN Spoilers)
Big fan of the show but I'm new to this community and only has come to post up a theory about the fundamental laws of balance in the tensura universe..
If you look at how the world operates, Rimuru's existence isn't just a simple reincarnation meant to throw the balance, I think it is a systemic reaction to Veldanava.
1. The Law of Mirroring Shadows
The multiverse is operating like a self balancing equation. The world cannot tolerate a singular, unmitigated force without creating an equal opposite to maintain perfect equilibrium. We see this law built into the reality from the very beginning, when Veldanava created the 7 Angels of origin from the great holy spirit of light, the universe automatically birthed the 7 Primordial Demons from the shadows cast by that light.
2. >!Veldanava turning as the "evil"!<
!When Veldanava left choosing to live as a mortal, he was killed and from research I did I found out that he failed to reincarnated as the "God" since his vessel "Gaia" or rather Milims friend.. were killed.. So when he revived he was no longer the "God" but rather another "being" being added to the world. As I heard in the final volumes, when Veldanava returns, his nature has shifted entirely. Broken because of the tragic murder of his wife, Lucia, he is no longer the benevolent God of Creation. He becomes completely disillusioned and malicious, seeking to destroy and restart the entire multiverse. He essentially switches from "The Order of Creation" to "Absolute Destruction and Despair."!<
3. Rimuru as the Universe's response (Absolute kindness)
This is where the Universe balances itself. The world didn't spawn Rimuru just to copy Veldanava’s power, it manifested him to >!counter Veldanava’s change in nature. Because the resurrected Creator God chose destruction and despair,!< the laws of the universe required an entity of absolute kindness, unity, and desire for peace to protect reality from its own creator and that's Rimiru and I think that's also the reason why he turned >!as the God like of the universe. When Veldanava uses Stardust (Creation) to destroy, Rimuru uses Turn Null (The Void) to protect. They are the ultimate cosmic Yin and Yang, a balance!<, born because the universe's internal code demanded a moral counterweight to >!Veldanava's dark shift of nature.!<
What do you guys think? I saw most theories are saying Rimuru was a reincarnatation of Veldanava or Veldanava's wife but one thing I noticed is when someone is reincarnated they usually retain their memories immediately but Rimuru didn't..
(>!Is Rimuru's knowledge about Veldanava wasn't Veldanava's memories but rather like a story told? !<
!AI RESPONSE**:** "Pure information Data- Ciel systematically processes the history of the universe as objective information. When Rimuru accesses it, he understands the factual events, timeline, and mechanics of what Veldanava did, but it lacks any personal first-person emotional attachments"!<) the point of this is to prove that Rimuru's knowledge about him wasn't a memory making Rimuru the reincarnatation of Veldanava false but rather a counterweight balance or the new ruler since veldanava's consciousness faded from the active world(known theory), his ultimate legacy, power systems, and final "hope" for the multiverse were passed along, manifesting directly through Rimuru’s ascension and evolution.
Has anyone also seen it this way? or is there already a theory about this?
