If a character or object were to wrap around a universal space-time singularity about to release and prevent it from expanding, I'm pretty sure that would count as Low 2-C.

So if “tanking” creation isn’t scaling to durability then why would the shield Alien X cuts through have any universal durability?

Low 2-C requires affecting time, if it prevented time from expanding time would not flow. Is that what's actually shown? Or does it merely stop space from expanding?

The Extra-Dimensional field was made to block the released 4-D energy. The creators state that nothing (that they know of) can breach the field.

Since you didn't answer my question I'm going to assume that time keeps flowing, contradicting the expansion being stopped temporally.
Could you provide those statements you're talking about? Specifically the one saying it was "made to block the released 4-D energy".

Blocking the released energy blocks the Space-Time Expansion. Also, you can't just block the space in expanding space-time and have time just go through without space.

Making dinner rn so I'll check out the quote later. For now I'll say that you can just block space from expanding in space-time. Blocking space from expanding means that the same volume of space continues to exist. It wouldn't be like time would be flowing without space, it would just continue flowing with the same amount of space as existed before.

"I'm going to assume that time keeps flowing, contradicting the expansion being stopped temporally."
The way you phrased your initial statement implied that the time expansion passed through the field, leaving the space expansion behind.
- 14,822

That quote you posted says nothing about it being 4-D, only about it blocking a release of energy. And this recommended video I saw also very clearly has time passing inside and outside the spaceship. I think I'm failing to understand why this universe creation would be 4-D in the first place.
(As an aside, 4-D energy is nonsense, energy is already defined over time, there's a reason we ditch energy entirely when going into higher tiers; because it makes no sense in that context)
The way you phrased your initial statement implied that the time expansion passed through the field, leaving the space expansion behind.
From your earlier statement which effectively said "you can't have time expanding without space"
And regardless, time's flow inside the field can just continue on as normal, unimpeded.
Or to summarize:

From your earlier statement which effectively said "you can't have time expanding without space"
You're implicitly saying that there's no space on the other side of the field. Which is pretty nonsensical, you can't talk about what's on the other side if there is no other side due to there being no space past it.
And regardless, time's flow inside the field can just continue on as normal, unimpeded.
Or to summarize:
- Your video doesn't establish it as "blocking 4-D energy", just blocking energy.
- A related video of the event actually occurring shows time continuing unimpeded. Even if the creation was 4-D, there doesn't seem to be an indication of time being hindered, which is required for 4-D feats.
- Weirdly, time seems to already be flowing fine, making 4-D creation suspect to me.
- Your retort of "Time being unhindered makes no sense, since time cannot continue without space" makes little sense. If there's space on the other side of the field, it can affect that. If there is none, it can just continue ticking inside the field.

The setting takes place in the timeless void before the creation of the universe. The Universal Space-time did not exist yet. To create one, the energy released by the device is 4-D.
Also, why are you saying that "time seems to already be flowing fine" when time didn't exist yet, making time manipulation unusable.

Being outside/without time is not a new concept in fiction.
- 6,914
- 6,630
Which points?
- 14,822
- 12,243
Of course not. Being outside/without time and space while having two dozen anti-feats indicating that time and space do exist may not be a new concept either, but any standards that accept those as legit are, to me, off-putting yet inarguable; if those anti-feats don't convince you that it's not a timeless void then nothing I say will.

We are told that time hasn't started yet and that Time Manipulation is shown to be unusable.

A statement and a feat versus two-dozen anti-feats.
If we're told that a type of explosion will destroy a planet, and see a premonition for planet-level threats go off, yet we see that explosion be used on two dozen occasions without ever destroying more than a building, I'd consider that explosion not planet-level.

I think the question isn't the universe being created but rather created in your face.
If someone creates a skyscraper in front of you randomly then it won't harm you, but this case seems to rather be the skyscraper appearing and expanding right into your face. Now replace that skyscraper with extremely potent energy with its own mass and you got yourself the feat.

Moving in tiemless voids is a common Inconsistency in Fiction in the last episode Maltruant travelled to the beginning of time ( a place where time didn't exist yet) heck even Maltruant wasn't able to use his time powers implying that time was in fact gone

Oh my god… to clear a few things up the 5D Contumelia thing was essentially a range argument to counter humans not needing protection from the 4D component of the Big Bang according to Eficiente. That doesn’t work if 5D beings are involved since they would be affected by the 4D component and would thus need to create a barrier capable of tanking 4D power.
Ben and Rook explicitly exited the timestream to enter the void where the Contumelia were, Maltruant couldn’t use his time manipulation there cause “time hasn’t begun yet” and it’s implied that Paradox who exists outside of time couldn’t get there before the universe was created. There’s a reason we have timeless void standards, they may not get the aliens any speed but it’d be dishonest to conclude it’s not a timeless void and that time was already flowing because of that. Now Zamasu does have a point that you could argue that time existed but didn’t flow yet since I don’t think anything contradicts it.
Ben thought he was going to die by a creation feat and the Contumelia needed protection from it, so it acts like a bomb would in Ben 10, simple.

My counters to the OP from the previous thread:
He was worried he was exaggerating because Ben wasn’t using any of his good aliens, once he upped his game and uses more hax and heavy hitters like Atomix and Alien X, Servantis confirmed that Ben was indeed the threat he made him out to be (back when he stated that he was a threat to and could erase all of existence).
Now may I remind people that it’s stated about 5 different times that “the entire universe and everything in it” was destroyed, so clearly they are differentiating between the matter and the space-time construct itself.
Eh what? Everything that isn’t outside of alle extensions of the concepts of space and time exists within a space. Like this is just how multiverses are portrayed.
Ok, we also see a reality warping wave come from him meaning he did more than just that.
Yeah AX’s time reverse isn’t as good as Clockwork’s who can reverse time on erased stuff.
Ok, so like I said before characters still see the old design in their memories (mostly Rook during the trial thinking about the moment the universe got destroyed), so the exact moment the design changed is unclear. So to use this to say only the “present” got affected isn’t too solid and you could just argue that Alien X inserting himself in the universe at a certain moment is what caused the change in that moment (since he’d be focusing on that moment a bit more or smth).
Alien X can’t survive (or probably not even stop) the EE’ing bomb and Atomic-X got taken out which leads to Alien X not being able to be accessed anymore due to acausality type 2.
Eh, what? They are still in the structure that holds the timestream. The Contumelia are beyond the barrier so this doesn’t change or mean anything.
A dimension is the structure that holds a universe (which is actually a multiverse in this case since it holds the timestream). I also don’t see how this is relevant.
Potent time loop (since Paradox can’t even reach before the beginning of time). Isn’t it only called the beginning of time after the Annihilaargh creates the universe? Rook stating “time hasn’t begun yet” doesn’t mean that time did exist at that point.
Yeah but that’s not the Annihilaargh that actually creates the universe. The actual Big Bang is shown as a space-time expansion. So Feedback should probably be the only one who loses Low 2-C.
Servantis is aware of alternate universes as explicitly stated at the end of the episode. So all of existence would obviously be well all of existence…
He was worried he was exaggerating because Ben wasn’t using any of his good aliens, once he upped his game and uses more hax and heavy hitters like Atomix and Alien X, Servantis confirmed that Ben was indeed the threat he made him out to be (back when he stated that he was a threat to and could erase all of existence).
Supergeniuses tend to get their shit right contrary to people like Ben or Kevin (or Paradox who dumbs his explanations down for the aforementioned 2).
Now may I remind people that it’s stated about 5 different times that “the entire universe and everything in it” was destroyed, so clearly they are differentiating between the matter and the space-time construct itself.

Here’s Zamasu’s counter:
Also notice how Paradox separates "universes" and "dimensions" then says there are "many Ben Tennyson's across those dimensions." Those dimensions mean timelines in context because those alternate Bens he's talking about are the ones from the alternate timelines that attacked or defended No Watch Ben. Yet another differentiation of universe and dimension.
Another thing. When Kevin asked "where are we?" Paradox, without hesitation, explained they were in the Space Beyond, but here, when him and NW Ben are outside of time and space, Paradox says he can't answer where they are because it's not a place.
Universes exist in voids. It's still shown as nothing but a cluster of galaxies. It's stated that alternate timelines branch off from the prime timeline like a tree, and they're shown to be built like branches when we see the Timestream, which is the multiverse. The universes shown here have nothing branching off of them and are extremely far appart.

Yes, we usually see that white glow when Alien X uses his abilities, I don’t see how that changes my point at all when the fact still remains; the spatial background remained the same.
Time wasn’t destroyed. Even then, that's just one ability. Alien X couldn’t do anything to stop it.
That was a reused clip of course it's gonna have the same logo. Saying "we don’t know when it was changed" when we were shownright in front of our face is straight up denial. It also wouldn’t make sense for Rook to remember the old Mr. Smoothy logo since he knows what the new one looks like the Rook that we were actually introduced to is dead. This current Rook is a mere copy.
Atomic X doesn’t have acausality and he's not Alien X. Why would erasing an entirely different being who happens to have Alien X's DNA affect the real Alien X?
It means the annihilargh didn’t create the timeline. Explain how you create a timeline that already exists.
The timestream isn’t within a dimension. As stated above Paradox considers outside the timestream as not a place.
So you admit time exists to some extent then.
Paradox says Maltruant would travel do the beginning of time, he's talking about pre big bang.
That doesn’t matter because it was going to create a universe anyway. This is the big bang that created the universe yes, but it's still an explosion. Tell me, where do you see the timestream expanding? All I see are a bunch of gas clouds and galaxies; it's a literal expansion of matter.
So is Ben, and yet he still made the statement. "Existence" is also context dependent that require more proof. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
And what do you know, the multiverse was never touched.
Like I said, statements like that are context dependent and require more evidence.
Yeah, the same universe that's 3-A.

Yea this is the point I proved earlier but nobody except Hop seems to get. You worded it well tho, nice, understanding and concise. I love it! To add scans and stuff:
Ben and Skurd thinking they're about to die from the creation feat from the bomb (Ima call it how it is, it's a ******* bomb)
The Contumelia and everyone on board are in danger of being harmed by the bomb thus needs the field to protect them from the release of energy from the bomb. Protection-To keep safe from harm or injury

Does that matter when Ben and the Contumelia are getting harmed by creation though? Pretty sure he conceded to it being fine to scale if it explicitly harms people.

fwiw according to Zamasu, that whole series of events "before time began" is literally part of a time loop. So it's not even like all statements from the show are in support of it being a timeless void. There's some statements (and implications) in support, some statements against, and the entirety of demonstrated feats/events against.
- 10,276
- 4,388
That time loop would encompass the entirety of the show, probably Paradox included who exists outside of time and different universes with different physics as well. So that time loop has enough feats for it not to be an anti-feat here.

Why? That clip only says that Maltruent is stuck in a time loop. Seems weird to assume that literally everything in the series is.
So that time loop has enough feats for it not to be an anti-feat here.
What if... Those things below it just aren't above time, and are merely in a state where time-related powers are nullified? There cannot be time above something that is above time, similar to how there cannot be a stronger being above a being that is omnipotent; it just means that whatever was "above time" isn't actually above time.
