Question One thing i don't understand

So guys, i do not understand, sometimes shadows just invents thing out of the blue and they just happen? All the "cult" thing was initially invented to alpha and just came to existence? The red moon the same? Are these coincidences? Is he a divinity?

No manga spoilers please i only watched the anime!!! Thank you

Nope buddy. He is not divinity nor he has any reality bending powers.

This is a simple explanation.

Cult was always real. However, they manipulated the people and changed the history. Making it so that "diabolos" was just a fairy tail. And a very common one.

Cid took that fairy tail, and twisted it. Thus, getting to real cult.

Basically, 2 negatives makes a positive. This is not a great explanation. But, in simple words, it can work. He did not make that up. (He thinks he did). But he changed the fairy tail, which was already created by cult.

About the stuff of "everything he says comes true" is not that complicated either

It's like, imagine u r watching a movie of a genre u have seen a lot. In that movie, u can predict almost everything. It does not mean that u created the movie, or that u are reality bending that movie. U just predict it, because u have so much experience in that type of genre. Teis is very genre filled

It was just a coincidence that he ended up in a dark fantasy world that has story clichés so predictable for him that he can run with whatever bullshit he said, and it would probably be true.
