Imhotep-Ato
The Demiurge disappeared without anybody knowing where went. Astaroth should be happy
about that. Now he can conjure the apocalypse without anybody being able to stop him.
Why is he searching his brother? Maybe they both are one being with two different souls?
If that's true Astaroth will get weaker and weaker, won't he. So what will happen if Astaroth disappears?
A very interesting question! I think the main point is that Astaroth, as well as the Demiurge, wants to uphold the Illusion. Now that the Demiurge is gone, that is not feasible, so only one alternative exists, the Apocalypse. Why is that? Simply because humankind is awakening at an ever increasing rate as the Illusion unravels. The Apocalypse will imprison the humans again, this time in Inferno. This is a sub-optimal solution of course, but will suffice until the Demiurge is found. The downside of the plan is that the Archons are pretty upset (no place for them in Inferno) and so try to resist. On this resistance, the power hunger of the Archons, rests the hope for the final Awakening. Why is Astaroth searching for his light brother? Because Astaroth is a shadow of the Demiurge (the reverse might also be true...), and thus cannot exist without him. Furthermore, Man cannot be contained within Inferno forever. It was never meant to be a prison, merely a "mind-wipe-ward" for the dead souls. Now that Astaroth is alone, he is indeed getting weaker all the time, and his angels of death are becoming ever more rebellious. He is now under pressure to complete the Apocalypse quickly. If he waits, he will not have the strength to bring it about alone. What happens if Astaroth disappears too? Very hard to say. I would guess that there would be an all out war between different factions of the angels of death, with the Archons interfering heavily. The outcome of THAT conflict might be the awakening of Man...
