I think it's pretty open and shut that the true God that the apostles appear to be referring to is the union of the Outer Twins? Like, thematically that makes by far the most sense all things considered.I got a bit confused by this. The title of Chosen means that an Apostle chose this individual for some purpose.
Even if it wasn't clear in the previous update, Eisheth pretty much clears it up by calling herself the "Chosen of Truth".
Also I think it's a bit premature to think that there are only 6. Perhaps they have died and haven't yet been replaced, perhaps they were discarded like Syla was. Perhaps every Apostle has more than 1 Chosen. We can't really tell if the Memory Hound's knowledge is complete at this point.
My thinking is that the older the monster, the more likely that it's generationally close to the Apostles. Everything we know about monsters seem to suggest that the closer you are to the Apostle, the stronger you are.
If Apostles are the originators for monsterkind, then their first sons and daughters should have been at least as powerful as Valravn and Fairy who are confirmed to be 1st Gen monsters. Where did they go? Did they die? Did they leave?
From a macro perspective, what you say is probably true, but considering how exponentially powerful the stronger monsters are, there is a huge gap that needs to somehow be explained. Unlike Gods, monsters have a defined beginning that we can trace.
Tbh, I have no goddamn idea what the Outer Twins are.
This is everything I know on the matter:

12 Apostles twin together to make 6 Arbiters
2 Outer Twins twin together to make the True God.
The only question mark here is the jump between 6 Arbiters and the 2 Outer Twins. WW has repeatedly demonstrated an interest in mythology and theology when it comes to writing characters and lore, so maybe he's gone the route of representing each Outer Twin as a sort of Trinity a la the Christian God?
In that scenario, three arbiters, presumably split between the first three and the last three, together are three peoples with a singular Divine nature. They share one will, mind, and nature, yet can exist in perpetuity as three persons. This would rectify the issue where it appears that the Outer Gods are above and beyond everything and represent and embody everything, yet it was the Arbiters that actually created and molded everything.
