Sorry for the long wait everyone. My semester at college is finished, done with school for now, so I have more time to respond to things here. Anyway, my rebuttals.
>Yes they do use hax, it's even mentioned on ther wiki page.
Which can, and is, wrong and can be changed. Irrelevant.
>Reality destruction is another form of reality warping
No, it's not.
We don't even consider it as that here ourselves , so your making things up here now. Reality destruction is an AP feat, not a hax feat. The fact that not every reality destroyer, as low as 4-A or as high as tier 2, doesn't automatically have this should already tell you why its not a hax.
>The Chronosapien Timebomb uses time and spatial manipulation to destroy the timelines, which are obviously both hax abilities.
Talking about the Navigator. Not the time bomb.
>And again, the Celestialsapiens have been stated to be able to do anything, why you arbtirarily decide that being able to replicate the feats of both weapons isnt included in the word "anything" is beyond me.
Because it's not something to be taken literally like you
want it to be taken as? I shouldn't have to explain this bit. Someone arbitrarily giving hyperbolic statements like this, which are common in many fictional verses if you didn't know, doesn't remotely mean its to be taken as true. It's borderline wank. Especially when the devices you want to include here are something no Celestialsapien is ever even directly compared with.
>How is "anything" vague?
With no supporting feat? Just hyping someone up to inflated levels to do something they've never shown they can do? Put 2 and 2 together please.
And don't take that last part personally btw, I genuinely don't mean any disrespect coming from it.
>Omnipotent does not mean " god-like", it means "unlimted power" or " able to do anything", and since we cant assume antyhing beyond what has been shown in the series, the most logical reasoning would be that the character is limited to what has been shown in the series.
Except that it does mean that because that is what it's generally referring to in fiction, for anything that isn't a literal omnipotent. And that's exactly how it is treated here too. Anything that is considered "omnipotent" without being literally treated as such is only because they have a strength, or overpowered ability, that is "god-tier status" compared to everyone else in their respective fictional universe. And since you still want to try and deny this, I can give you multiple examples of this.
First example,
Yhwach from Bleach. Yhwach is stated to have Omnipotent and Omniscient powers because of his ability, "The Almighty". We obviously don't take this at heart because it's just hyperbolic language used to describe Yhwach's powers being god-like compared to nearly everyone else in the Bleachverse. He isn't capable of "anything" in Bleach as he has established limits and he most certaintly doesn't have infinite knowledge.
Second example,
Arceus from Pokemon. Arceus has an ability
literally called "Omnipotent" which allows him to inflict damage on Pokemon of any and all types in Pokemon. Has nothing to do with actual omnipotence or otherwise, it's just an OP ability for Arceus since he's the god of Pokemon and the creator of the multiverse.
Another example,
Hao Asakura from Shaman King. Hao is stated
to be Omnipotent and Omniscient because of him being the Shaman King, an entity that its "all powerful" and "all knowing" when being united with the Great Spirit . This isn't taken as anything more than "just being god like" either since it's obvious the Shaman King or Great Spirit cannot do anything either. For one, the GS can be forcefully bound to a random person. And new Shaman Kings are determined one after the other, which debunks the notion of "can do anything" here. It's simply considered that because of it being the god of spirits whom all souls originate from and watches over the universe as a king.
Hopefully, I don't need to give more examples. "Omnipotent", "all powerful", "can do anything", they are all hyperbolic flowery terms when it comes to vs debating. They simply reference someone who has god-like strength, or god-like abilities, compared to the norms of their respective fictional verse. Just as you saw with the examples I listed before. And without any defined context added, they are as vague as they can get. Someone can be considered "omnipotent" for having an overpowered hax ability while someone else can be considered the same for having incomparable strength.
And using common sense, it's obvious that Alien X and no Celestialsapien can literally do anything in the Ben 10 Multiverse. Otherwise, trival limitations like having multiple personalities would literally be a non-existent weakness for them.
>No, not really. How does opening portals have anything to do with chain reaction???
Because you aren't directly destroying X with Y attack? Your using an alternate medium, like portals, to do the feat? Look at the example I previously gave again,
King Boo. Using a portal to destroy something is entirely different from using actual attack potency to destroy it. You know, with an
attack from your
own power.
>King Boo is still listed as universal, it's just that he cant exactly use the portals without killing himself, but it doesnt change the fact that he is universal.
Through strictly a process that doesn't scale to him directly. If you use an alternate source or medium to do the feat, rather than your own individual power, then the feat doesn't scale to you. So yes King Boo is Universal, but not individually. Which is an explicit requirement for scaling a feat to someone else. There's a reason why the Low 2-C rating doesn't scale to others.
It's like if a wall level character is city level through using a bomb to destroy cities. Defeating said wall level character wouldn't make you city level yourself, unless you specifically overpowered their bomb.
>How would the Chrono Navigator not scale to something it itself makes?
Just like why any character that performs a chain reaction feat doesnt scale to said feat. They may be doing the feat, but its through an indirect process. An overtime process at that.
>We have no indication of it doing so with AP, the burden of proof is on you when the context of the episode tells us otherwise.
I don't really need to do though. Because even if the navigator is doing it through hax, the feat doesn't scale to anyone. A chain reaction feat doesn't scale to anything as it's indirectly separate from the power of who's doing it and it's done over a period of time. Not immediately.
So you guys basically gave your arguments a double edged sword.
>I was always saying that each image of Earth is an alternate timeline. Said circles in the backround of the map are also Earths representing alternate timelines.
The former isn't the issue, the latter is. There is absolutely no evidence that those dots in the background of the map are Earths. Thats an assumption.
>The source material and the writers consistently refer to Celestialsapiens as the strongest knowing that the Chrono Navigator exists. There are no retcons or counter statements to them being the strongest.
Doesn't really matter. Because that's from a writing perspective rather than a logistical one.
This is like saying
Jire from DBS isn't the strongest enemy Goku's ever faced because the writers brought Broly in afterward. Or that
Arceus shouldnt be 2-B because the writers written him to nearly die from a meteor despite knowing full well what his status is in the Pokemonverse.
>There is no evidense to suggest that Celestialsapien's power is only limited by hacks. It can incude hacks, yes, but how is it limited to only that?
I never claimed this. Of course Celestialsapiens don't just have hax abilities. My point is that what's considered "the greatest power" from them is
through hax according to the statements given.
You can argue their power is apart of that, but you'd need more evidence for that interpretation to be correct. That was my point from the beginning.
>You do realize you arguing that a being consistantly stated to have the greatest power and Omnipotent
Omnipotent means nothing, see above. And "greatest power" doesnt mean anything without defined context.
>The holes in time would have destroyed everything eventually, but Eon took a more direct approach. When Eon was intentionally trying to destroy everything, the Navigator shot out some form of energy.
This doesn't change anything for your side. In fact, it actually makes this
even worse for you. Not only does this contradict the argument of the Chrono Navigator using hax for it's "feat", it also supports my point of this being a chain reaction drawn out feat either way you slice it.
If the Navigator even remotely had 2-B level energy, it would have immediately destroyed existence. Or at the very least, destroyed
something. What do we get instead? A thunderbolt with strong winds and a thunderstorm, not remotely destroying anuthing immediately and directly. Doorinmyhouse, a person who sides with you, even references this in previous replies. So the only thing your comment here proves is that, if the Navigator uses any actual energy for destruction at all, it's not 2-B. From everything gathered from this, we have 2 different possibilities.
One, the Chrono Navigator is AP, not Hax, and does the feat through an overtime drawn out process for not immediately destroying the multiverse, making the feat unable to be scaled to anyone. Not even the Chrono Navigator itself.
Or
Two, the Chrono Navigator is Hax instead of AP, but does the feat through a chain reaction drawn out process using portals as the medium to destroy the multiverse, which also doesn't scale to anyone. Not even the Chrono Navigator itself.
No matter which point you choose, the feat doesn't scale to anyone.
>I dont see any reason not to treat is as hax, considering literally everything else the Chrono Navigator has done was hax-related. And again, destroying reality, which is a form of reality warping, is already listed as hax on this site
It's not, check our
Reality Warping page. Reality destruction is simple pocket space/universe/multierse destruction. Not hax. It's AP.
And anyway, you can't have this both ways. The Navigator either uses hax or AP. If hax, then the feat doesnt scale to anyone or anything since using portals to destroy the multiverse overtime doesn't directly scale you to 2-B. And if AP, then it returns to my original point. Not only that, it strengthens my argument since even with AP, the Navigator still wouldnt be directly 2-B since it's energy didnt immediately destroy the Multiverse or even begin to destroy it.
Sorry for this being dragged out, but this is not over yet.
