Ungoliant is Not. She is the negation that exists in contrast with creation. She does not precede the song as some primordial void, only Eru Iluvitar precedes creation - but she is the incarnate Outer Darkness that exists because of the Song.
She would always have existed as the Outer Darkness that is not Arda - but it was the discordant notes of Melkor that gave her access to enter Arda and consume in her endless hunger, for as negation she is endless famine.
The opposite of the Outer Darkness is Arda. The opposite of negation is creation (NOT Creator, Eru Iluvitar has no opposite, Tolkien’s cosmology is firmly monotheistic not dualistic). As she is incarnate Nothing, her opposite is the incarnate existence who has existed in Song since its beginning. A being whose very existence is simply an expression of the state of “Being”.
