Somewhere it says "Hitogami is the Void World," and basically if he dies the world(s) collapse. This got me thinking that the Void World is essentially a 4th-dimensional labyrinth and Hitogami is its guardian.

In the first volume we learn about the nature of labyrinths and how they're formed from a large concetration of magic power. In the final chapter Hitogami reveals when people die their souls combine with others (presumably in the Void World) before taking a new form in the physical. And we also know that labyrinths have some degree of sentience; for Hitogami, who's been around since the Age of Gods (100,000+ years) he's reached a high level of ability and intelligence.

The Dragon Tribe with their unique magic and reincarnation are the first to discover the nature of the Void World; I'm guessing they notice when Hitogami is formed and decide to restrain/kill him. This would mark the start of their struggle, which destroys worlds and bleeds into the current one.

I'm not really sure what to make of his powers, but they all seem related to the abilities of other characters throughout the series:

- Mind Reading (Zenith, Milis Miko)

- Future Sight (Rudeus)

- Temporary Soul Summon (Summoning/Teleportation magic, last moment with Rudeus after death)

I think the curses of Zenith and Enalise mirror the mechanics of Hitogami and the Void World. Anyway the whole thing about Zenith mind reading got me thinking down this path. If there's ever a sequel I want to see how these things are really tied together.
