As for the demon like shadow that MC saw behind Ricke, because he still doesn't trust that the god he was seeing is the Ricke from the picture book, ""God" only exists if they believe he exist, and if not, he wouldn't exist, it all depends on the believer." If there were doubts between his faith or belief, that if the god he was seeing was a demon (I.E. Ricke), then the image of Ricke will also apply such thoughts or doubts. If he though Ricke as a god, he is a god, if he though Ricke is nothing, then he is nothing, if he thought of Ricke as a demon, then he is a demon, since everything depends on the believer themselves.

I want to hear different kinds of perspectives when it comes to this, so feel free to share yours, I'm reading. (▰˘◡˘▰)
"God" only exists if they believe he exist, and if not, he wouldn't exist, it all depends on the believer. As MC believed in Ricke, that long haired god from a picture book eventually materializes. But it requires a descendant(believer) fully committed to them, in Ricke's case, which was MC's god, Mc was the descendant. At the end of the chapter, we were shown the floating MC and Michael kissing. This solidifies the first statement; MC was floating alone in Michael's POV because he doesn't believe in a god that he can't see, he only believes in MC. To him, Ricke wouldn't exist and he couldn't see Ricke f*cking Mc. It was stated in ch 4 where MC begged Michael to believe in himself whom Michael can see if he doesn't believe in god. At the end of the story, MC became a god himself since he fulfilled all the requirements into becoming one, a descendant(believer) who is fully committed to him, which is Michael who didn't believe in god but MC alone, making MC a transcendent being (a god for Michael).
This story is quite interesting, I hope there are extras or side stories that will kind of explain this part. I know it's basically a porn manhwa, but it's intriguing. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
