Life, also known as Eternal Life, is one of two parts that compose a Nahobino in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Game Appearances
Shin Megami Tensei V
Originally, demons were beings called Nahobino, deities comprised of Eternal Life and the Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, when the Creator took the Throne of Creation, he instituted the Condemnation, which debased every other god by sealing away their Knowledge.[1] Ever since then, demonkind has longed to return to their original divine forms.[2]
Trivia
- In Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Lilith states that humanity had Eternal Life prior to being banished from the Garden of Eden. It is unclear if this is referring to the same substance that composes demons.[3]
- Despite being referred to as Eternal Life, the substance does not grant Nahobino immortality.[4]
