True Identity A collective of the 72 Demon Gods of Solomon, a sentient "Summoning Formula" that incarnated after the death of King Solomon. The shame and regret Solomon accumulated during his life and left behind upon his death. Originally, the "72 Demon Gods" were a "system to efficiently advance correct logic" created by King Solomon to manage demons, a "Human Order Correction Formula" compiled to watch over humanity. The Demon Gods were not beings created from nothing by Solomon, but entities born from distortions in human mental activity that acquired individual names and abilities. Goetia is the "swarm" created by Solomon binding them together. They were transcendent beings from the start, and by being grouped as the "72 Demon Gods," they gained omnipotent power and perspective. As Solomon's guardian spirits during his life, they shared his body and vision as his shadow, continuing to observe humanity through Solomon's Clairvoyance, which sees through the past and future. However, witnessing countless sorrows, betrayals, plunderings, and many endings... above all, the "imperfection of humans" that always ends in the tragedy of death, they began to lament, rage at, and eventually pity and despair over the relationship between King Solomon and humans, which Solomon continued to ignore. For them, who were devised to reach true wisdom and became those who reach the zenith, even the great undertaking of Incinerating the Human Order—burning all of history—is merely an act and process to generate the energy to travel back 46 billion years. To Goetia, humanity is nothing more than a propulsion device to reach the Original Sky; this is the sole reason for exterminating humanity. The sentient magecraft that attempts to reach the beginning by utilizing the entirety of human history is the "Human Order Incineration Formula, Goetia." (Think of it as a highly advanced AI for easier understanding.) In other words, this is also a form of love for humanity—his own way of finding the optimal solution for humans, attempting to overcome and remove the suffering they possess. A Great Calamity created by humans that most effectively exploited human history... Beast I. The arrogance of a being pitying and despairing over humans is the principle of "Pity," one of the seven Evils of Humanity, and is Goetia's beastly nature.

The second Noble Phantasm. A conceptual universe serving as a workshop in imaginary space, isolated from time and outside the cosmos. A microcosm built upon the foundation of King Solomon's Magic Circuits. A space that collects and binds human history converted into magical energy. The stage of the battle itself, the "Grand Temple of Time: Reality Marble Solomon." Since this entire realm is composed of Demon God Pillars, Goetia will not perish as long as the space remains intact. Noble Phantasm II Ars Almadel Salomonis: The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All "Then let me show you. The end of your journey. The end of human history that restarts this planet.

Rank: EX Type: Anti-Personnel The third Noble Phantasm. The First Sin. The bands of light announcing the end of humanity. Human history itself converted into heat. By collecting, accelerating, and converging hundreds of millions of these, time travel across vast eons becomes possible. It is energy wrung almost limitlessly from the lives and civilizations that can be called the passion of humanity existing in history divided by seconds and moments. When fired, it becomes a maximal heat ray with enough thermal energy to incinerate everything on the surface and burn away the Earth's crust.
