Artemis Valtheron

In a dimension shrouded in eternal twilight, far removed from the natural world, an ancient seal pulsates faintly with the energy of its creator. This seal, an intricate lattice of celestial runes and divine light, glows intermittently as if struggling against the passage of time. Within its confines, a being of unparalleled beauty and dread stands motionless, like a statue carved from alabaster.

The being is tall and androgynous, with an ethereal aura that blurs the lines between genders. His alabaster skin gleams faintly, untouched by time. Long, flowing silver hair cascades like liquid moonlight down to his back, shimmering with an unearthly radiance. Crimson eyes, glowing faintly even in their dormant state, peer into the void with an intensity that seems to pierce through dimensions. He wore a dark, obsidian armor adorned with runes and symbols of an ancient language, each piece a masterpiece forged in the fires of chaos.

This is Artemis Valtheron, The Sovereign of Ruin, a being born alongside Veldanava, the Creator God.

The Backstory of Artemis Valtheron

The Birth of Two Forces

When the cosmos first sprang into existence, it was not a solitary act. Veldanava, the Creator God, emerged as the embodiment of creation, light, and infinite possibility. Yet, as if to maintain balance, the universe gave birth to Artemis Valtheron at the same moment—a being who embodied destruction, darkness, and the cyclical nature of renewal. They were two sides of the same cosmic coin, bound by the natural laws of balance.

For eons, Veldanava and Artemis existed in harmony. Their relationship was complex yet deeply entwined, like two siblings who understood each other's roles in the grand tapestry of existence. Veldanava would create galaxies, stars, and life, and Artemis would observe, ensuring that the cycle of creation and destruction was maintained. They believed their roles were complementary—two halves of a perfect whole.

As Veldanava's creations grew more intricate and diverse, he began to see beauty in imperfection. To him, creation was an ongoing process, where life evolved, adapted, and thrived despite its flaws. He believed that the universe was a living entity, one that required time and nurturing to reach its full potential.

Artemis, however, saw things differently. To them, imperfection was a flaw that could not be tolerated. Every mistake, every deviation from perfection, was a stain on existence itself. They believed in destruction as a means of refinement—a process of erasing the imperfect so that only perfection could remain.

This ideological divide began to drive a wedge between them. What once was a partnership became a rivalry. Veldanava would create vibrant worlds teeming with life, and Artemis would judge them unworthy, erasing entire planets and civilizations with a sweep of their hand. To Artemis, they were doing what was necessary to maintain balance. To Veldanava, it was senseless annihilation.

The final straw came when Veldanava created a world he deemed his masterpiece—a world rich with diversity, magic, and potential. This was the world that would one day become known as the home of Tempest and its inhabitants. Artemis, however, saw it as a chaotic mess, riddled with imperfection and doomed to fail.

Against Veldanava's wishes, Artemis descended upon the world with the intent to destroy it and start anew. The clash between the two cosmic beings was cataclysmic, shaking the very fabric of reality. Planets were shattered, stars were extinguished, and the dimensional rift between their powers threatened to unravel existence itself.

In the end, Veldanava's love for his creation and his unparalleled power allowed him to prevail. Using a fragment of his divine essence, he created a seal so powerful that it could contain even Artemis. He imprisoned Artemis in a dimension outside the reach of time and space, a prison known only to Veldanava.

As Artemis was sealed away, his final words echoed through the void:

"You cannot silence me forever, Veldanava. Your precious creation will crumble under the weight of its flaws, and when I return, I will cleanse it of its imperfection."

For millennia, Artemis remained sealed, his prison maintained by Veldanava's divine essence. However, with Veldanava's death, the seal began to weaken. Time and entropy slowly eroded its strength, allowing Artemis to regain fragments of his consciousness.

This was not a result of any mortal interference or chaotic battle; it was a natural consequence of Veldanava's absence. Artemis, ever patient and calculating, bided his time, waiting for the moment when the seal would break entirely.

In the Void Palace, seated upon his throne surrounded by swirling galaxies, Beerus watched the fracture of Artemis's prison with a mix of amusement and intrigue. He leaned forward, resting his chin on one hand, his golden eyes narrowing as the light of the dimensional collapse reflected in them.

"Artemis Valtheron… after all this time, you finally stir," Beerus muttered, his deep voice echoing across the void. "A being that even Veldanava himself had to seal away. The Sovereign of Ruin, you were always a peculiar one. Your idea of perfection through destruction clashed beautifully with creation. How utterly fascinating."

He stood, his aura rippling with subtle authority, the void itself trembling at his mere movement.

"But I'm not to interfere yet," he continued, a sly smile forming on his lips. "I want to see what you'll do first, Artemis. What chaos will you sow? What path will you carve in this new world that knows not of you? Rimuru and the others will encounter you soon enough. Let's see if you're worth my entertainment."
