[Hold on a sec, Arceus is struggling to find the words. Remembering so far back is hard.]
...When we were...there, when there was emptiness, we didn't have this.
[Arceus raises one of its front legs in an attempt to gesture to itself. So, like, didn't have eyes or flesh or any of those inhibiting annoyances.]
Giratina, the reconciler, made an overlapping realm and went there and took physical form and died. That was our first encounter with...matter? And we wanted more. So my children used my arms.
[So 'as I was' meaning 'not long after I got a body' and the stuff of the universe boils down to being Arceus's flesh. Glad you asked, Jira?]
