I'm not a supporter of the verse (I don't even know anything about it lol) I checked the thread purely out of curiosity.

Doesn't change the fact that he brought up a good point that I haven't seen anyone address yet, you were the one who just said to actually respond to arguments were you not? I brought it up because I hadn't seen anyone say anything against him.
This statement is useless.
Both descriptions are not meant to be taken literally. They are simply meant to show how normal human beings interpret the forbidden knowledge they obtain through Yog, filtered through different schools of thought that vary across cultures.
Yog’s “true form” resides in the white void (Heaven), where she is just another goddess of the Babylon Academy within the Cthulhu branch.
Even Nyarlathotep can access Yog’s domain. She is not some supreme deity or anything like that. Each branch has its own independent mythology.
Yog is not literally the Tao, and she is not literally Nirvana either.
This is not tier 0.
This is completely taken out of context. The statement is not talking about a “true form” in the sense of something transcendent above everything. It is simply referring to how Yog, in her Aforgomon form, kills everyone who reaches her domain so quickly that nobody is able to actually see her Aforgomon form as such, which is easy to understand if you take the context of the description into account.
It is the equivalent of saying that character X eradicates all visitors to their plane so fast that nobody can make out their form. That is all.
The character’s current scaling relies far too much on how ordinary humans perceive a deity beyond their understanding and then try to adapt that knowledge to their faith. On top of that, Yog is not special. She is not the only member of the Cthulhu Branch in the academy, nor is it ever stated anywhere that she is the most powerful, something that is explicitly said about other entities in the Babylon Academy (hell, even Azathoth got more prestige than her).
So yeah, I agree with the downgrade. The only way you can mantain the tier 0 is doing mad mental gymnastics and ignoring the fact that Yog is literally a weapon in-game before awakening her.
Tier 0 weapon fr.
Yeah. I have never denied that Yog’s power is extremely far reaching within her own worldview. What I am talking about is how far that actually extends in a more general sense when centered on the Tiering System.
You can perfectly replicate everything that text says at almost any tier, because the kind of language being used is contingent on the verse’s own cosmology.
Obviously, this idea of “losing all limits” is not absolute, because there is no dissolution of the self in Heaven, nor is there a dissolution of the subject object relationship or anything at that level. It is simply a plane that is transcendent with respect to the material, which is why it is said to transcend space and time.
This reads more like creation ex nihilo through narrative manipulation. I would not have an issue with 1-A.
This is not the main requirement for Tier 0 lol. It’s actually quite the opposite; ineffability is a derivative of ontology. It’s why Pure Act is ineffable differently to the Tao.
If you merely say something is unnamed or unattainable by the human mind, then you say nothing about its ontic status. Even noumena, as our mind lacks the a priori conditions to comprehend them, are completely beyond knowledge. But they sure as hell aren’t Tier 0; far from it actually.
The Tao is ineffable because it is hyper-noetic, in that it is causally prior to the Taiji, which contains Knowledge as united with all things.
Your arguments are 1:1 of those GGZ larpers who pretend they play the game when they're not, so uh yeah that is definitely not an argument here whatsoever (funniest part is that you just basically copied what they said, it's not even from you, yourself)Ultima did not play GGZ. He does not know how the verse works, and his only way of understanding the scans was through the same supporters who, in this very thread, are demonstrating that they do not know how Tier 0 works. He agreed with tier 0 because he interpreted all that yap of the dao sutra and the buddhist sutra as literal when I've already explained above that it is not.
He even switched to neutral later in the same thread
I am going to repeat this one more time, and hopefully it will be the last. Can we stop appealing to something Ultima said fifty centuries ago and actually respond to the arguments?
Let us stop using the victimization strategy for everything, please. I have not said anything offensive nor arrogant, and that approach is not going to help you defend the tier.
So what? Phoenks isn't an admin of this wiki, he is an admin of the OC version of VSBW.
Your arguments are 1:1 of those GGZ larpers who pretend they play the game when they're not, so uh yeah that is definitely not an argument here whatsoever (funniest part is that you just basically copied what they said, it's not even from you, yourself)
For the record it's not like I disagree with some of the presented points, I already said my stance was neutral. I was just calling out your claim from before, though idk how far I can trust these claims you've linked because they have little to no scans.
One of them even links to an entire page without any mention of what exactly you're even quoting from it to support your arguments, where as the original OP had a lot more scans to support their claims.
On top of that, Yog is not special. She is not the only member of the Cthulhu Branch in the academy
What does being a member of the branch of a school have to do with anything? Absurd scaling. We might as well put Ichigo at 10-B because he goes to school.Whatever you say bro.
What scan do you need. The character only has like 5 short stories and that's it. Don't be that vague.
You cannot be real, you must be trolling atp.
This is what I wrote:
That link proves exactly what I am saying. The link is talking about the Godheads, who are the inhabitants of the Babylon Academy, and if you scroll down a bit you will see the Cthulhu Branch.

Are you intentionally being obtuse with the intent of derailing the thread and the arguments provided?What does being a member of the branch of a school have to do with anything? Absurd scaling. We might as well put Ichigo at 10-B because he goes to school.
There isn’t one here because the CM Gods generally are shown to be superior to the other ones. Like how Azathoth messes with every god she meets without trying. Or how the Star Mother is literally the mother of existence, even other mother goddesses. We’ve been discussing Yog left and right here, so posting a link to the page would be redundant. The point here being that the CM Gods go to the school, but that’s not grounds to scale them to the others without context. The CM gods are significantly above everyone else as a whole.if theres in verse context contradicting then lol
I pointed out the absurdity of the argument they presented.Are you intentionally being obtuse with the intent of derailing the thread and the arguments provided?
Berny literally explained how the different branches are separated and described in context of the verse which is relevant to the context of this thread.
Your reply provides no substance to this thread nor to any of the previous content given by other users.
If you have nothing of substance to add to the thread, refrain from derailing any further.
Her not being bounded is literally layed out in the fifth Kizuna entry.I agree with this
Ngl
Why are we bringing Ultima as absolute word of law, or keeping your owns.
And also
This it is too much mythology/religion scaling while the association is by nature is false.
Also Yog-Sothoth (or other Godheads and Outer Gods) are firstly weapons before they go to Babylon Academy after the absorption of a *certain quantity of Honkai energy for Ascension, which contradicts the claim.
There is not enough context to imply Yog-Sothoth's nature as a Tier-0 entity other than the Primacy.*
Daoism is considered to have
0 bounds which contradicts T0, also not too mention
The people against this haven't gave any sort of proof that Yog is above the hierarchy of GGz, Cosmology that doesn't even imply anything when she is still in Hoyos set hierarchy
Also with Additions, SoQ and CoF are also part of said hierarchy, I know GGz and HI3 are different but the hierarchy is still the same..
Yog isn't even fully above it as she still exists within it's Bounds
I've played the games ,
2014 was a crazy time..
Unless someone can provide proof that she isn't bounded, were not appealing to Mythology. I literally shot down someone doing the exact same thing on another thread but enough of tht
All of Berny's arguments were already addressed in original thread.
Send your sources for thisTbh, I don't really see any debunks here. Yog Sothoth belonging to Cthulhu branch in game via categorization doesn't mean she is the same as other gods from Babylon. As @Breakdown said above, Cthulhu gods are much more powerful than gods in Babylon. Most of them lives outside of Babylon.
All of Berny's arguments were already addressed in original thread. Also trivializing important scans that gives grounding for tier 0 as "yaps" isn't really a great way to argue.
There isn’t one here because the CM Gods generally are shown to be superior to the other ones. Like how Azathoth messes with every god she meets without trying.
The public music itself is already very disturbing, but Azathoth is actually playing all kinds of mentally polluted noise music. In the eyes of the surrounding godheads, this kind of thing isn't called music at all, it is just pure noise.
Over time, the noise became more and more severe, mixed with the sound of scraping against the blackboard, as well as shrill screams, roars and vomiting.
Mao is the godhead who can't stand the sound the most. She puts on the latest noise-cancelling headphones and protests to Azathoth with Thor, who is committed to maintaining order.
However, they only looked at Azathoth for a moment, and they sat beside Azathoth with their eyes blank, shaking their heads and admiring the noise together.
If you can't stand it, choose to join, maybe it's a countermeasure?
It seemed that Azathoth hadn't slept for a whole month as she had slept for too long. When some godheads stayed up all night writing novels and doing live broadcasts, Azathoth was still full of energy and wandered aimlessly in Babylon.
It's okay if she's just hanging out, at least she's not carrying the stereo. But recently-
Sakura said that in the area where Azathoth passed, she witnessed twisted creatures that were more terrifying than ghosts crawling around;
When Kana saw something shiny on the ground, she was too scared to pick it up;
Or how the Star Mother is literally the mother of existence, even other mother goddesses.
This girl is a girl.
This girl is a mother.
This girl may be named "The Mother"... And maybe there is no name capable of describing her.
This girl is the aggregate of two opposite wills, and her very existence is a paradox.
This girl will witness the death of all her children, and the birth of all her children.
This girl calls herself the Mother of All.
But... if this girl is the Mother of All Things, then who gave birth to her, and who will make her give birth to all things?
In Babylon, where all the wonders gather, there are many Goddesses who bear the attributes of mothers. Whether it's Metis, who is the Goddess of Wisdom, and the Goddess of the Ocean, with a heart of infinite tolerance, or Percy, who is gentle and stern, and always exudes gentleness and brilliance. There are many moments in their lives where other Gods call them mothers. In this way, those who have won the love of everyone do not put on an act of being elders to everyone, or regard themselves as mothers in the literal sense. The exception to this is, the Mother. Even when looking at her name, it is essentially forcing everyone to call her a mother.
The days of joy will never return, and the grayness and death will take over every corner of this world. Therefore, she shall fulfill her duty, her only duty: to embrace all things, to bring all things back into her womb. Let all that she loves, after seeing that which she sees, a future of unparalleled darkness, put all that she has in her. To curl the whole universe once more into the most fundamental zeroth point, and then to use this last point... to give birth to herself.
Two identical beings will trigger annihilation and explosion, restarting the entire Universe — that is the moment of the birth of the stars. And that newborn her will continue to watch over the world and ensure its restart.
The current Mother appears to be just a young girl and only active on one planet... It seems that even if it is inevitable, the day of this Universe's restart is still very far away.
Her not being bounded is literally layed out in the fifth Kizuna entry.
“This is how divine power works. Humans grow old, their skin turns gray, but how can the world within the words? This is the divine power of God, "description", or "definition". The only way to define the boundaries is to transcend them, and because we are free from everything, we can create everything, and so everything is born in our hands.”
Yeah. I have never denied that Yog’s power is extremely far reaching within her own worldview. What I am talking about is how far that actually extends in a more general sense when centered on the Tiering System.

It’s complete nonsense—aside from Thor and Lucian, there’s basically no one who was born from a weapon that absorbed too much Honkai energy, lol (Even though Thor and Lucian were indeed reborn from weapons, she was actually one of the true gods in the past, before being hunted down by Thanatos and killed in an ancient war long ago)I agree with this

Do you even know what the cosmology of GGZ consists of? And another thing—GGZ doesn’t share a unified cosmology with HoYo at all. If you’ve really played this game, you should know that already, lol
so we got 1 staff who disagree and one who dosnt?
then its 0-0 because his leaning to agree, he dosnt agree fully yet (ultima will cook this thread probably, so gl there)The current staff votes are 1 agreements (DDM) and 0 disagreements.
Phoenks isn't a staff member.
Who knows what ultima would dothen its 0-0 because his leaning to agree, he dosnt agree fully yet (ultima will cook this thread probably, so gl there)
then its 0-0 because his leaning to agree, he dosnt agree fully yet
I'm leaning towards agreeing with the downgrade for now.
why do you always seem to have a hate boner when it comes to ppI think her PP should be changed to Type 1
I definitely will—once I finish summarizing the cosmology of GGZMake a thread for that, then, because the wiki currently considers GGZ to be part of the broader Hoyoverse cosmology.
You really need to separate game systems from narrative contentI find it strange that people try to argue that only some deities go through that process when the literal only way to obtain information about all the gods is precisely through awakening, by empowering their respective weapons.
I’m just an ordinary person too, so how am I able to know all of this?But well, this is what happens when you try to scale a verse whose events are not accessible to everyone.
พวกเขาควรจะแข็งแกร่งกว่าเทพเจ้าทั้งหมด เพราะพวกเขากำเนิดมาจากระดับความเป็นจริงที่สูงกว่า (เราอาจคาดเดาได้ว่ารูปร่างที่เราเห็นในโรงเรียนนั้นเป็นเพียงร่างอวตารที่ลงมาจุติ เนื่องจากเนียรลาโทเทปเคยกล่าวไว้ว่ารูปร่างที่เราเห็นนั้นไม่ใช่ร่างที่แท้จริงของเธอ)เทพเจ้าภายนอกไม่ได้ถูกพรรณนาว่ามีพลังอำนาจมากกว่าเทพเจ้าองค์อื่นๆ นั่นเป็นความเข้าใจผิดอย่างร้ายแรง
ฉันขำมากที่คุณพูดว่า "อาซาธอธเล่นงานเทพทุกองค์" ราวกับว่านั่นเป็นเครื่องบ่งชี้ว่าเธอแข็งแกร่งกว่าเทพทั่วไป ทั้งๆ ที่เหตุผลเดียวที่อาซาธอธเป็นที่รู้จักในโรงเรียนก็เพราะเธอเป็นคนน่ารำคาญที่เปิดเพลงแย่ๆ ด้วยเสียงดังสนั่นจากเครื่องเสียงและสร้างความรำคาญให้คนอื่นไปหมด
เคยมีเทพเจ้าหรือเทพธิดาองค์ใดบ้างที่การตื่นขึ้นของพวกท่านทำให้ทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างกลายพันธุ์และบิดเบี้ยวไป?ช่วยอธิบายให้ฟังหน่อยว่าตรงไหนที่ระบุว่าอาซาโทธ "ทรงพลังกว่า" เทพเจ้าองค์อื่นๆ กรุณาส่งภาพสแกนเหตุการณ์นั้นมาให้ฉันอ่านด้วย
ฉันว่าเราคงต้องรอจนกว่าเรื่องนี้จะเกิดขึ้นจริงก่อนที่ผู้คนจะยอมรับว่าเธอแข็งแกร่งกว่าเทพเจ้าส่วนใหญ่เสียอีก ฮ่าๆตัวอย่างเช่น พระมารดาไม่ใช่ผู้ให้กำเนิดเทพเจ้ากรีกทั้งหมด แต่ละสาขามีเรื่องราวการสร้างของตนเอง ดังนั้นจึงไม่มีอะไรในคิซึนะของพระองค์ที่บ่งชี้ว่าพระองค์เหนือกว่าเทพธิดาองค์อื่นๆ
You really need to separate game systems from narrative content
(I strongly recommend that you don’t put too much trust in Miraheze or people on Discord when it comes to Babylon Academy’s lore. Only a handful of people have actually read the story all the way through, and they don’t really understand VS scaling at all. I remember once someone asked about Yog’s Level 0, and the answer was something like ‘Dreamland is higher because his Lovecraftian title ranks above Outer Gods)
I’m just an ordinary person too, so how am I able to know all of this?
On top of that, getting information about this game’s story is way easier than keeping up with many Japanese VN, lol
And honestly, you should just go read the game’s story properly already. You come across as someone who claims to follow the game closely, but in reality you don’t
HUH?!Do admire the admins for admitting the wiki humiliated themselves for over a year with their first tier 0 being a loli from a borderline ecchi nsfw game
The CCP censored that game multiple times for it being 18- unfriendly,HUH?!
No, i just based on current standardwhy do you always seem to have a hate boner when it comes to pp![]()
