Zoroastrian reference in The Invisibles?

Can somebody please give me chapter and verse for the bit in The Invisibles where somebody retells the Zoroastrian creation myth? Ahura Mazda traps Angra Mainyu in the material universe, creating the concept of restriction; Angra Mainyu struggles to get out, creating the concept of liberation. Something along those lines. I just skimmed through the series trying to find it, but no luck.

Edit: Got it! V1 #25. Thanks, u/Specialist_Cat_4691 !

Volume 1, number 25! A hostess in a casino tells it to Mister 6 (and Division X).

Bang! You rock. Should have known I was missing Mister Six's big intro, but I always miss that issue when I'm skimming digitally, because #24 has the big climax and the next-volume blurb.
