Aka "Zurvan" (lord of infinity in the Persian splinter religion of Zurvanism).

鬼神 ("fierce god") as a concept has no real Western equivalent; they're frequently associated with violence, but aren't necessarily "evil" as such (eg. the "wrathful deities" of Buddhism, who destroy obstacles barring the path to enlightenment; there might be truly malevolent examples somewhere); notable pop culture references include the Fierce Deity's Mask from the Legend of Zelda and Luffy's Gear 4 forms from One Piece (that he was able to create those forms despite working with misleading info is rather telling…). I personally would've gone with "daemon" (note the "a") as a translation, albeit with the caveat that it's not fully accurate either.
