Dide

Dide is an ancient evil god linked to the control of Loom, Avartin’s hidden second moon. More comfortable with the imposed system than the other evil gods, Dide uses the moon as a strategic weapon, surrenders when its defeat becomes certain, and later chooses Avartin as a new home under the title Constellation of Loss.

Biography

Controller of the second moon

Dide awakens Loom with clockwork timing and fights the Empire from a position that should be overwhelmingly favorable. They operate the moon’s weapons, factory modules, defensive craft, and giant Walking Armor while repeatedly adjusting to Lakrak’s unexpected speed and strength. When the apostle reaches the surface, Dide concludes that no single fatal mistake caused the loss: the opponent was simply faster, stronger, and wiser. Rather than wait to become a vassal tied to a ruined control room, Dide surrenders and calls Sha-Cha and Jeolyo out of hiding. Sung-Woon lets them leave with Loom. Dide later spends its remaining energy freeing old companions, helps defend Avartin, and ultimately hands shared control of the repaired moon to the Hall while choosing Avartin over departure. (Chapters 282–321)

Appearance and personality

Dide’s avatar or original body is not physically described in the supplied corpus. They stand on Loom’s surface after surrender and are distinguished primarily through precise system operation. (Chapter 287)

Dide is controlled, pragmatic, and protective of old friends. They examine failure without inventing excuses, worry before the suicidal return to Avartin, and accept a new home after a long history defined by displacement. (Chapters 284–321)

Powers and abilities

Dide’s divinity is linked to Loom, whose modules they control through the system with exceptional skill. This includes weapons, manufacturing, defenses, and Walking Armor coordination. The connection is also a vulnerability: destruction of Loom’s control center would turn Dide into a vassal. No independent combat technique is demonstrated. (Chapters 282–284)

Relationships

• Sha-Cha: Dide surrenders with Sha-Cha and later keeps Loom operational while Sha-Cha leads the evil gods into direct battle.
• Choi Sung-Woon: Sung-Woon defeats Dide without taking Loom and later offers freedom to leave; Dide answers that Avartin is now home.
• Lakrak: Lakrak’s assault overturns Dide’s tactical expectations and forces the decision to surrender.

Items

Dide controls Loom, but Loom is a celestial stronghold rather than an item listed in the supplied item manifest.
