Güliedistodiez

Güliedistodiez, also known as Gülie, and Kuro (or Black), is a dragon god and one of the administrators of the System.

He is often seen as a bystander of things that happen in the world, but does not take kindly to outside forces that disrupt the order of things too much.

Appearance
Güliedistodiez is described by Kumoko as "a very dark man." He wears black armour that fits him like a glove and looks like a carapace. His skin is extremely dark without a hint of colour (though in the anime his skin is light and slightly tanned instead), and his hair is black. The only source of colour are his eyes, which are eerily red.

Character Page
One of the administrators who controls this world and its system. As part of his duties, he is in charge of dragons and wyrms. He knows about reincarnations, having learned of them when one killed a dragon. Under orders from his superior, Administrator D, he is to observe them without interfering; however, he often acts independently by lending Ariel a hand, narrowly toeing the line, and exploiting other such loopholes.

Being a god and an administrator, he is incredibly strong. However, he currently finds himself stuck between a rock and a hard place as he balances between the unimaginably powerful D and a certain problem-causing reincarnation.

He is currently watching over the world for the sake of Goddess Sariel.

Personality
Güliedistodiez is a rather quiet and thoughtful man, usually putting other's safety before his own. Nonetheless, his morals are placed high in his priorities list and wouldn't even doubt a second to intervene to protect the mortals of his world.

He also directly oversees the dragons of the System, and will step in to protect them if he feels that they are in too much danger.

Synopsis
Administrator Güliedistodiez first appeared in the series soon after Kumoko defeated Rend. He teleports in front of her and speaks a language she can't understand. D sends a smartphone to the two of them. Gülie speaks to D before tossing it to the protagonist and teleporting away.

The Past
'''The following part describes the "Past Arc" of the WN and is yet to be covered in the LNs. Read at your own discretion''' As a young dragon who only recently reached the realm of the gods, Gülie is sent by the dragons' upper echelon to watch over the rescue of an abducted infant dragon. He grows frustrated at the impudence of the inferior humans, and lashes out. His attack is stopped by Sariel, an seraph-class angel vastly more powerful than him.

Gülie begins to doubt the absolute superiority of dragons. He uses clairvoyance to spy on Sariel, hoping to find some flaw that would allow him to say that dragons are superior after all. What he sees bewilders him: while aiding the primitive lifeforms, Sariel does not use her powers as a god, so a great many preventable deaths occur.

Gülie goes to confront Sariel, asking her why she uses such roundabout actions to help humans. He appears in a hospital and obstinately tries to get her attention while in a hospital, ignoring the common sense to be quiet in a hospital. Foddway, a wealthy backer of the Sariella Society, humiliates him by pointing out his ignorance of common sense and his stalker-like behaviour. Gülie resolves to study human society. Seeking confirmation of his suspicions on why Sariel does not use her power, Gülie returns to the Sariella society, where Foddway shares his objective of freeing Sariel from her mission.

When the dragons begin their war against the humans Gülie is tasked with stalling Sariel. He attempts to persuade her that it is correct to take action in order to stop the humans' wasteful drawing of MA Energy, so she should deviate from her mission of protecting the humans in this case. He is unsuccessful, and remains behind in the orphanage, unable to choose between accompanying or stalling Sariel.

When the dragons leave the planet, taking most of the remaining MA Energy with them, Gülie predicts that Sariel will choose to sacrifice herself to restore the world. Seeking a way to save her, Gülie went to the only god who is strong enough to act in defiance to the dragons, and capricious enough to accept his request.

Relationships

 * Ariel
 * Being one of few living being who knows about the truth of the world and Güliedistodiez's past, he has established a working relationship with Ariel. Being both the masters of some of the most powerful creatures on the planet, they had a non-aggression pact to ensure their subordinates they command do not engage with each other unless necessary. Güliedistodiez has also left one of his subordinate, Dark Dragon Reise, with Ariel as contact point to him.


 * Kumoko/Shiraori
 * Güliedistodiez first learned of Kumoko after she defeated Rend, violating the non-aggression pact between the Dragons and Spiders. However, D ordered him to not interfere with her. Learning about the Reincarnations, Güliedistodiez came to regard them as possible threats to the world, Kumoko especially. While he has come to rely on her to settle incidents regarding reincarnations, he also tried to convince her to stay in the Great Elroe Labyrinth and later, following her evolution into Shiraori, to leave the planet.


 * As seen form his interactions with Dustin, whenever he has to speak of her, Guliedistodiez would usually refer to her as "That Creature", and shows active wariness and dislike for her. Shiraori in turn has shown to actively dislike him and considers his inaction and indecisiveness in dealing with humanity to be the main reason why the situation of the planet to have gotten so bad and considers him to a fool. Despite their mutual dislike for each other however, Guli has shown to still harbor a level of respect for Shiraori. Despite disapproving of her cold-blooded and cruel methods, mainly due to Guli's emotional attachment to humanity due to Sariel and his clone's influence, Guli has acknowledged that her methods are indeed the most efficient way to achieve their common goal, and while he does speak out against her actions, he does not necessarily stop her either. Guli himself acknowledges the fact that out of the two of them, Shiraori was more of a "God" than him.


 * D
 * Superior. Due to a past agreement and currently working with D, Güliedistodiez would tried his best to fulfil D's requests. After Sariel made up her mind to decompose herself into pure MA Energy to save the planet after Humanity having squandered a majority of the planet's MA Energy and the Dragon taking the rest upon leaving, Guliedistodiez approached D due to her knowing that she was the only God that was powerful and whimsical enough to accept his request to help save the world without sacrificing Sariel. After D established the System, D left Guliedistodiez as the primary Administrator of the System after Sariel became its core. Due to D's position as the System's creator and Senior Administrator, her authority and control over it far surpasses his own, Guliedistodiez is essentially her subordinate.


 * Potimas Harrifenas
 * Due to their long and complicated history with each other, they both display an antagonistic attitude against one other. Due to Potimas being  largely responsible for the current, semi-ruined state of the world and whose selfishness only continue endangers it, Guliedistodiez considers Potimas to be one of the most dangerous individuals in the planet and one of his sworn enemies. Guliedistodiez himself shows active hatred and contempt for Potimas and considers him a cancerous existence to the world at large and has repeatedly shown to refer to him in a angry/hateful tone. Guli himself has shown to have allied himself with both Dustin and Ariel in order to help defeat him and put an end to his threat once and for all.
 * Potimas in turn also sees Guliedistodiez as his enemy and potentially one of the only individuals in the planet that could threaten him. Because of this, Potimas himself has shown to have studied and created numerous countermeasures against Gods based on the data he gained from studying Guliedistodiez, with it being heavily implied that he planned to use them to kill him.


 * Dustin LXI
 * Working acquaintance. It was implied Güliedistodiez has known Dustin for a very long time. They have on occasions worked together in combating planetary threats. As stated and agreed by Dustin, Guliedistodiez and himself have a relationship based completely on business and have no emotional attachments to each other despite having known each other and worked together for so long, with the two of them being basically strangers outside of their current common goal. As stated by Dustin, he fully anticipated that he and Guliedistodiez would eventually parts ways and even perhaps become enemies when their goals no longer align with each other.


 * Sariel
 * A fellow administrator. It is strongly implied Güliedistodiez has romantic feelings towards Sariel.

Abilities
Güliedistodiez is stated by various powerful individuals to be the strongest being "on the planet". Being a god and a true dragon, his stats are over the System limit and he has access to abilities outside its confines. In addition, unlike Shiraori, he was also granted System access by D, allowing him to influences some of its RPG mechanics, like modifying items. However, Güliedistodiez has a glaring weakness which even he admits to: due to having always been able to power through any obstacle, he lacks practical battle experience, allowing even Shiraori, a god much weaker than him, to close the gap in power using stratagy.

Conjuring
Conjuring is a paranormal phenomenon that the gods are able to produce. As the base of magic, conjuring allows an individual to create truly unique forms of magic.
 * Administrator Authority: As his role as an administrator of the system, Güliedistodiez is able to manage and observe events happening in the world.
 * Physical Strength beyond the System: As a god, Güliedistodiez's stats are above the System's limit. His is able to easily toss a water dragon back into the sea and knock out a berserk Wrath with capped-stats in a fight.
 * True Dragon Barrier: The unique ability that dragon gods possess which allows them to create a special boundary field. The field invalidates all magecraft within its range and can hence be called the natural enemy of gods that rely upon the construction of magecraft.
 * Dimensional Magecraft: Güliedistodiez has shown on multiple occasion that he is capable of teleporting to any part of the world at will and pulling items from storage of his dimensional item box. Furthermore, he has shown he is able to create his own pocket dimension.
 * Boundary Field: A realm created by a god, that is sort of like being inside the god. Güliedistodiez demonstrated that in his personal realm, he is able to change the laws of physics inside its zone. Being inside a god's zone is advantageous for the god and disadvantages for everyone else. The zone will dull the movements of opponents and nobody except the owner can properly use their power within it.
 * Soul Implantation: It is later revealed that Hyrince was a stillborn child, Güliedistodiez implanted a portion of his own soul into the baby allowing Hyrince to live as a human clone of Güliedistodiez.
 * Telepathy: Güliedistodiez is able to use telepathy to communicate with Kumoko. He has shown numerous times in the series to be able to communicate to his subordinates via telepathy. Güliedistodiez's telepathy unlike regular telepathy has translation function that he based on the translation function of D's phone.

Trivia
