Here's my proposal... there exists Two Essences in this Universe.
For simplicity sake I'm going to refer to them as Good and Evil because the term evil is actually a part of one of their names, but let it be known, I do not believe we can truly know at this point which side is actually good or evil, or if they aren't both one or the other (Well... Both good? I doubt it).
Evil has been revealed in the lost chapter 83; he was introduced as "The Idea of Evil" and from then on "Idea" as I will refer to him.
Good has also been introduced to us, but much more subtly. I propose that Good is what has been referred to as Fate.
Both of these Entities reside in the Abyss, controlling The World.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the Origins of these Two:
Evil (The Idea says it best himself in Ch 83):
Good:
I believe fate has always existed in this universe; Idea refers to this as "man's destiny" later, which existed before him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's how they control the World:
Evil:
It created a soldier to be born into humanity, one who would united the people under one rule, someone who would delight in wars against all who opposed him, and eventually control the entire world. Often referred to as "The King of Death" this man is known in history books as King Gaseric, but today he exists as the Skeleton Knight. (You knew I was going there!)
Good:
Fate planted behelits in the world to bring select humans out of the Mortal realm, and make them serve Fate. Five special red behelits exist that promote to a God Hand who rule the Astral realm. Other behelits exist that promote to Apostles, which act as servants of the God Hand in the Mortal realm. These promotions are made through sacrifice, in an attempt to break the bonds the appointee has to the Mortal realm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's where we stand today:
The God Hand realized that Gaseric was attempting to take over the world and they intervened. This is the coming of a group angels that Princess talks about when she is telling Gaseric's story. It's hard to say what actually happened at this point. But we do know that a huge sacrifice was made, that the city was destroyed, Gaseric is assumed dead with no heir, and the tower of "rebirth" is built on that site in the years to follow. What we don't know is exactly how many angels came down! Here's the proof: Volume 10 Chapter 6 Pages 122 and 123. Judo says that he has heard the story too, and then he begins to speak, and tells that "God sent five Angels to punish King Gaseric" and that everything was destroyed. Then somebody says "Wasn't it four only?". I can't tell who said it, might be Caska, but it was probably Charlotte. Charlotte was told the story by a historian, not as some fairy tale (as Judo perceived it), and when you think about it four makes the most sense, because Femto has not yet been created. The Next unanswered question is who made the sacrifice (all the branded corpses and the bottom of the tower)? Most likely Gaseric, which means he must have used a behelit... possibly a red behelit in an attempt to gain more power in the Astral realm as one of the God Hand? Whatever he did, it changed him and eventually led to his current status as the Skull Knight. Also as a result of this conflict, the Skeleton Knight became an enemy of the God Hand and of Fate itself, which he attempts to undermine by devouring all the behelits he can find, thus reducing the power Fate has over the Mortal realm, a power that was stripped from King Gaseric in the events detailed above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay That's it.....
I really hope you guys can help fill in the holes above, or present your own speculations.
If you agree let me know, and if you disagree that's great too...
I put a lot of time, research, and thought into writing this,
but I apologize if some of it is rehashed old news, I'm new to this forum.

Now the Origins of these Two:
Evil (The Idea says it best himself in Ch 83):
Basically he was born from man's desire to know why bad things happen. "Reasons for life" above most likely is in a bad sense too, like "God why did you give me such a crappy life?!". He was created to justify Fate, and believes that he is the only true god, although he can not control fate completely.Griffith: Why did humans give birth to this will called God?
The Idea: Humans
The Idea: desired reasons
The Idea: Reasons for pain. Reasons for sadness
The Idea: Reasons for life
The Idea: Reasons for death
The Idea: Why were their lives filled with suffering? Why were their deaths absurd?
The Idea: They wanted reasons for the destiny that kept transcending their knowledge
Griffith: And that was
Griffith: God...
The Idea: And I produce those
The Idea: As it is what I've been brought to existence for
The Idea: I control destiny
Good:
I believe fate has always existed in this universe; Idea refers to this as "man's destiny" later, which existed before him.
