Prior to the rise of the [[Creator]], all [[Demon]]s were once Nahobino in an endless battle for control of the [[Throne of Creation]], an object that gives it's wielder the ability to manipulate the laws of the universe. However, in a bid to maintain his rule, the God of Law instituted the [[Condemnation]], which stripped every other god of their [[Knowledge]], thereby transforming them into their current forms as demons. In this state, none of his former rivals would be able to access the [[Empyrean]] to contest his claim on the Throne. But unknown to him, the serpent would sneak into the [[Garden of Eden]] where the gods Knowledge was sealed and tempted the humans living within to consume its fruit. This caused the dormant Knowledge to be bound the souls of humankind and their children throughout generations. Due to this, demons once again became able to regain their true power as a Nahobino by fusing with a human's soul, at least in theory, because if this was attempted while the Condemnation was still in effect, they would be transformed into [[Miman]].

This status quo massively shifted with the death of the Creator at the hands of [[Lucifer]]. In his absence, the Condemnation was no longer active, implicitly restarting the war for the Throne of Creation as demons could return to their original divine forms. However, this conflict was delayed for nearly two decades because the leader of [[Bethel]], [[Abdiel]], refused to accept the announcement of her Lord's defeat and declined to tell her allies the news. Further, even though he successfully overthrew the Creator, Lucifer never claimed the Throne, leaving it unoccupied. This meant that the vast majority of demonkind had no idea that the God of Law was no longer in power, and all of them continued to live under the angels' rule. This changed with the arrival of the [[protagonist|Nahobino]], who became a living, breathing symbol of the Throne's vacancy to demons, and blatant blasphemy to the God of the angels.

Abdiel would attempt to reach an understanding with the Nahobino as they made large contributions to Bethel's fight against the armies of Chaos, but once the war reached it's climax, she was forced into a position where she could no longer turn a blind eye. Even through the world was no longer under threat by the Demon King Arioch, the city of Tokyo was still in danger. The version of the city that existed in the human world was in actuality a [[Shekinah Glory|substitute]] created by the God of Law while he was still alive because the original was sucked into the [[Makai]] during an event called the [[Conception]]. With the death of the Creator, not only did the Condemnation lose it's power, but so was this replica of Tokyo. In response, Bethel Japan led by prime minister [[Koshimizu]] believed that the best course of action was to declare their independence from the broader organization of Bethel and have their Nahobino claim the Throne of Creation to restore Tokyo. Shortly after, Bethel held a pandemonic summit attended by representatives of all of Bethel's branches. Here, the other major world powers: [[Odin]], [[Zeus]], [[Khonsu]], and [[Vasuki]] learned of the existence of the Nahobino and immediately understood the implication that the Creator was dead. In order to dissolve the problem, Abdiel decided that she could no longer bend the rules by cooperating with the Nahobino and attempted to execute him before the situation grew to a point where it could threaten the perceived authority of Bethel and the God of Law. However, she was unable to defeat them, inadvertently emboldening the other gods, who all quickly agreed to abandon Bethel as they began to contemplate the possibility of becoming a Nahobino and recreating the world.<!-- This ultimately led to a full-scale war in the [[Taito (Shin Megami Tensei V)|Taito]] ward, where the entrance to the [[Temple of Eternity|path]] to the [[Empyrean]] was held.
