Remove Resurrection Negation
The Epilogue is stated to null resurrection (Chapter 585), however The Epilogue is an ability which is the ultimate power to end everything (Chapter 575), end stories (Chapter 547).
My interpretation is that The Epilogue "nulls resurrection" because it destroys people beyond what they can resurrect from, as it destroys them on a plot level.
Remove Resistance Negation
The Epilogue is stated to null resistances (Chapter 585), with nobody being able to resist their end (Chapter 636). Looking at the explanation for the Epilogue, the world is a book, and the Epilogue is the phenomena which can close the book, even if a being could block the Epilogue they would just become a being capable of blocking it and still be ended because the moment Shallow Vernal appears and no matter what you do within the story, she can always close the book, end the story (Chapter 547).
My interpretation is this, the beings capable of resisting or blocking the Epilogue, are merely words within a book, characters within a story, and they can't truly affect the Epilogue because it exists outside the book/story.
The author's comments have also enforced this
Q.シロの物語の終わり(エピローグ)ってどれくらい理不尽なの?
A.分かりやすく言うと、相手と自分が戦ってるのを、テレビ画面越しに見てる感じで、テレビの電源ボタンがエピローグ死ぬとか死なないとか、強いとか弱いとかそういう何かと比べる土俵にない論外能力
Q. How unreasonable is Shiro's "End of the Story" (epilogue)?
A. To put it simply, it's like you're watching yourself and your opponent fight on a TV screen—and the epilogue is the power to hit the off switch on the TV. It's an out-of-bounds ability that doesn’t even belong on the same playing field as things like living or dying, or being strong or weak.
As seen here, the Epilogue is compared to watching yourself fight someone on a tv, and you can hit the off switch for the tv, so all these beings capable of resisting or countering the Epilogue only exist inside the story/book/tv, while the Epilogue is outside it, so they never really had the ability to counter the Epilogue.
This also means the Epilogue has no layers in High 1-A, because nothing else exists on the same level as it.
Add Power Nullification
Omnipotent and Omniscient beings have an aura which has extraordinary pressure just from their existence itself (Chapter 2291), however this didn't work on Kaito due to the Little Epilogue stopping it from affecting Kaito (Chapter 2291).
Add Dimensional Manipulation
Shiro resurrected Nebula, and restricted her to Quasi-Omnipotent level (Chapter 939), so she downgraded her from 1-A to 1-C.
