Shin Megami Tensei V
The Mandala System is exclusively mentioned by Lucifer, who describes it as a "spatial governing phenomenon" guiding the flow of the universe. After defeating the Creator, Lucifer consumed his Knowledge, and learned of the true nature of the world. Following the rebirth of the world, another Da'at will eventually be formed, sparking a resurgence of the battle of the gods for the Throne of Creation. This will ultimately lead to the death of the current Nahobino holding the Throne and the subsequent recreation of the world by another in an endless cycle. However, Lucifer offers an alternative. Defeat him and consume his Knowledge, which he claims will give the Nahobino the ability to free the universe from the eternal cycle, but ultimately, it is left unclear whether his plan was completely successful.[1][2][3]

True Humanity Ending: As the Lord of Chaos, I defeated the Creator, consumed his Knowledge, and became more than He could possibly imagine. It was then I came to understand this world. Allow me to share what I'd learned. Following the world's recreation, a new Da'at will eventually appear, and soon after the gods will rise up to claim the throne. Battle after battle, you sought to purge demons from this world. But they will come slithering back, as they always do. This endless cycle is the result of a spatial governing phenomenon known as the "Mandala System." Do you not wish to be free of such restrictions? Do you not wish to be free from Mandala's eternal machinations? Long have I searched for a way to truly be free. At last, I have found but one possibility. End me. Consume my Knowledge. And with it, wrest this world from the Mandala's endless eons. This is the reason for my transcendence." Shin Megami Tensei V. Developed by ATLUS.

Desires of a world free from demons, of a never-ending cycle of creation at last being broken had led to this moment. But all things must eventually come to an end. Could the world truly exist apart from Mandala? Only the Great Will knows what lies in store. Only the cosmos know what tomorrow will bring." Shin Megami Tensei V. Developed by ATLUS.
