Babel (First Phase: Cylinder of God)

バ・べル (前半 シリンダーオブゴッド)

Megami Ibunroku Devil Survivor

In the game, Babel is the opponent in a final series of battles (aside from some certain routes), its basic form being a huge cylindrical structure. During battle, four separate human faces can appear on the tower. On the map, a portion of the structure is visible protruding from the screen, indicating it is at least 5 meters in diameter and 20 meters in length. The name "Babel" is derived from the "Tower of Babel", a structure which is said to have been "built so high that it pierced the heavens" in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. It is said that man's intention for building the tower offended God, and so God took away their common knowledge, thus cutting off the solidarity of the people. Thus, as the god Bel, it is thought to symbolize the evil development of man."
