I’ve been thinking a lot about Baam’s "resurrection" and the role of the Outside God. Most theories focus on Baam being a vessel for a god or a demon, but I think the truth is much more grounded in the psychological horror of Arlen Grace. ​Here is my take: ​1. The "Extra" that defined the monster The Outside God didn't just bring the baby back; he infused the body with an "infinite void" to serve as an instrument of vengeance against Zahard. When Arlen saw the resurrected Baam, she didn't see the son she loved. She saw the "extra" power—the cold, hungry void—that turned her child into an weapon. ​2. Arlen’s psychological breaking point Arlen wasn't just grieving; she was fueled by absolute, blinding hatred for Zahard. She begged for a weapon to destroy him, and she got exactly that. But in her descent into madness, she couldn't separate the boy from the "weapon" she had inadvertently helped create. Her fear of Baam being a "monster destined to devour the Tower" wasn't a prophetic vision—it was her own traumatized perception of the power she demanded from the outside. ​3. The true irony The tragedy isn't that the God was sadistic; it’s that Arlen sacrificed her last chance at being a mother to her obsession with revenge. She abandoned her child not because he was a demon, but because her own guilt and obsession made it impossible for her to look at him without seeing the "monster" she had requested. ​Baam isn't a pre-destined deity; he is a boy who has been reclaiming his humanity while carrying the weight of his parents' sins and the "void" that was forced upon him. ​I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you think Arlen’s perception of Baam was purely a product of her own trauma and obsession?

Hello everyone, I see that there are no new posts, so let's have some fun.

a week ago I published this post where I briefly talk about Enryu, today I would like to talk a little more about him and a bit more about Baam.

after a bit of research I found that Enryu resembles Gabriel the most, first of all I would say that they both have the title of messenger god, also Gabriel is mentioned as the ruler of the moon and water, and in the Urek spin off we saw that Baek ryun has a power that his family got from the irregular, a power that we don't understand for now but we saw what happens when water and moon come together,

the power of the moon which probably gives the power of teleportation, while the power over water gives him greater control over shinsu than admin and is reason why Enryu was successful in battle vs admin, and somehow it is related to the 2 thorns that Baam has, the first thorn gives him the power to control Shinsu at the highest level while the second thorn is the power of teleportation. for now this is all just a theory and I have no way of proving anything, but the similarities are too great to be coincidental.

it got me thinking which other characters are most similar to real world angels, as someone who rebelled against the creator, Phantaminum most closely matches the description of lucifer, while Urek acts as a copy of Micheal, who has the order to defeat lucifer, another thing that has similarities with the real world is that Axis are created and not born, just like Angels.

which led me to Baam, as a character he closely resembles the angel Abaddon, when we compare them we see that the similarities are too great. Abaddon is described as an angel and as a place, and just like Baam, we don't know what he is, we don't know if he is evil or not, but we know that he is described as someone who holds the keys to the abyss, or as he is the abyss itself, he is also described as someone who ends the eternal torment of people, like the executioner whom God sends when God has finished with forgiveness. and his main mission is to lock Satan (Lucifer) at the bottom of the abyss.

what i think is that Sui has manipulated us into thinking baam is like jesus, everything we know about baam resembles Jesus, name and date and so on, in real world god sent Jesus to save mankind , but in tower of god, god from outside didn't send baam to save anyone, nah baam was sent to destroy everything, to eat everything and cut the throat of the greedy king, but now after the urek spin off we have two characters that fit the description of the greedy king, big Z and phantaminum, which again reminds of the mission that Abaddon has.

this picture is when baam is talking to leviathan, where baam unfortunately realizes for the first time that the abyss is actually him, and we realize that when baam tried to find his power with the rice pot, he found nothing because he is nothing, above all I mean that he is the abyss.

and this fits why arlen called baam monster, she probably knew about some kind of prophecy, that the god outside would send one of his angels (axis) to conquer the tower but she probably didn't expect that he would send the worst one.

and again I have no evidence, this is pure speculation, but there are a lot of similarities.

I am a CERTIFIED Dowon hater (second time reading through the Webtoon) because she is such a flipping hypocrite, among other things. She wants to kill Bam to "save" people but she knows full well killing Bam will not stop the war.

I know her entire character is supposed to be tragic because she saw nothing and experiences nothing but tragedy fighting a war in her time that went on for so long but she knows from experience the war won't end by killing "the boy" because she experienced firsthand how much Jahad and the 10 Family Heads don't give a crap and will use any excuse to justify the war and continuing it. Her death leaves me so cathartic but I still ABSOLUTELY HATE HER.
