[SECURITY] CAFE
God's a bit of a dick, huh*? I mean, in the end, he did try to right the wrongs Eve brought about. But as No. II pointed out, did he really? Where did he get the seed from? Part of me wants to jump to the easiest answer and say it was all part of Fate's plan, that Phantom or Secret handed God the seed to use. But that doesn't quite add up, does it? By that point, God would have been well aware of the Cold's deception and should have been on guard against it**.
Eden had Creation, manifested as dandelions. Skald had Soul, embodied in the fires that burned within the Infernal Engine. And Arcadia had Life, swirling in its vast waters. But Knowledge... Knowledge wasn't part of the original plan. I can't say I’m too familiar with Entropy or anything related to it***. Still, from what we saw and as I understand it, God—the son of the creator of a different Universe—stole one of his father's tools of creation: a hammer. Inside the hammer were the cores that would eventually shape the Utopias and later, our Universe.
God split the cores from the hammer, intending to keep Creation, Life, and Souls separate. His plan was to create a Universe that wouldn’t spiral into the same perpetual chaos as his father's****. I suppose the hammer could have contained a core of Knowledge as well. That actually makes the most sense to me. Eve struggled with creation because she lacked the knowledge to shape it. Abraxas had difficulty building Skald until Demiurge gave him the knowledge he had gained in Arcadia. Knowledge that he had gained. God was learning. And God's creations—us—we learn constantly.
Like No. II, I don’t want to speculate wildly*****, but... to me, it’s clear. God hid a core. What that means, I can't say. Was sending it to Eve an act of further sabotage or one last attempt to set things right? I suppose only God knows—and if I can avoid it, I don’t plan on speaking to him again.
*Trust me on this one. I’d know.
**Then again, God is easily distracted. I’ve had plenty of experience trying to follow his train of thought.
***I’ve checked many, many sources. Due to the nature of our Universe and its creation, "Entropy" as a concept, along with all other outer Universes, cannot and do not exist within our Universe.
****And we all know how well that turned out, don’t we?
*****I’m not fooling anyone, am I?
