God.

Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.

Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.

almost all the GOD in media portrays very similar to the bible ones, cruel, amoral, highly apathetic, and wrathful, probably as way to not upset snowflake christian viewers.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They're far more interesting.

Interesting definitely, but idk about actually living under that lore... Top boss God is a horny mofo that'll stick it in anything with a hole, with or without consent, sometimes immediately after shapeshifting into a bull or something; and all of the other gods are some degree of petty or mischievous.

...which honestly is kinda how life is under the US government, so... pass!
