Why is a cosmic criminal among them?

I believe Geno is getting corrupted by the Nothing just like how Daigo got corrupted by the Dark Presence. Both characters are similar to each other, have lieutenants, and are backed up by a greater entity.

My theory is Geno resorted to more darker means to achieve his goal ever since his comeback. He & the IO had the ZP under their control for thousands of years before the events of chapter 1. Despite all this time, he still couldn’t accomplish his goal of perfecting reality. Now he’s reaching out to more malevolent forces like TLR/the Nothing to assist in his goal. He believes he can use/manipulate them but he’s grossly underestimated their abilities which leads to his corruption by the Nothing. If this ends up being true, it mirrors Daigo’s story pretty well. Daigo started to experiment with the demonic masks for power, was slowly influenced by the Dark Presence, and attempts to defeat it but grossly underestimates its abilities, and gets corrupted.

I swore he did this back in KAT too lmao.

These are some of mines.
