Talk:Tiamat/@comment-30736282-20170819182629

I just want to add some things to avoid confusion since the profile seems to use phrases like grudge, joy, and motherly instinct to describe Tiamat while in truth she doesn't operate like that at all. Tiamat together with Abzu is the Mesopotamian primordial deity of creation, much like the Shinto's Izanagi and Izanami. However, any action she takes does not conform to any instinct or notion of free will at all. Therefore she doesn't "wait for a chance to return" or "want to exterminate humanity".

Basically Tiamat is the Mesopotamian equivalent of the Big Bang but instead of going away after creating the ever expanding universe, Tiamat stays and repeats the great explosion over and over creating new universe while erasing the previous one. Since Tiamat is not the Big Bang, humans, the latest product of her creativity, decided that they need to stop her if they want to survive and thrive as a species. So ancient Mesopotamian take the Big Bang and put it away in a box that is impossible for the Big Bang to escape from or operate in (this box just happens to be named world of imaginary numbers in Nasuverse). When Goetia opened the box, Tiamat simply operates again and her action just happens to involve erasing the current universe and ending humanity in order to make a new one.

Killing her is similar to killing "the concept of gravity" which require King Hassan as the inventor of "the concept of murder" (and thus the one with authority over it) to impose "the concept of death" on her physical body. I don't know if Ryougi Shiki can kill her. Maybe if Tiamat counts as a "creation" then she would have a line of death but I'm not sure since she can be considered as the "creator" of the universe after all.
