Okay, no. I was originally going to stay out of this because it seemed to be just another failed attempt ouf of the previous dozens of threads, but for this i'll make an exception. Now this will be kind of long, so, prepare yourselves.
2-A Downgrade for the Chrono Navigator/time bomb
Before I even get to the other points addressed here, this needs to be brought up again. The Ben 10 Multiverse is not even a 2-A structure to begin with. The
only reason why they have even remained 2-A up until now was because of a simple compromise from The Everlasting's downgrade thread, which I am shutting down now.
The current evidence we use to justify 2-A Ben 10 at all here is
the statement made by Paradox saying that there are parallel universes that branch off "ad infinitum" . This is
not 2-A. "Branching off ad infinitum" doesn't mean that the universes in the Ben 10 Multiverse are flat out infinite in number. It only means that the universes simply branch off and grow in number for infinity. Infinitely growing in number, but still remaining finite in number at all times. Which is, at best, high into 2-B. And it needs to be kept in mind that Paradox
just before explicitly said there were only hundreds of timelines, which shuts down any chance of the Multiverse being infinite flat out in scope.
So even
IF we take the highest possible interpretation of what Paradox said, and accept Alien X scaling to the weapons, it still isn't 2-A. So the weapons and the multiverse need to be downgraded first things first.
Demonic's arguments
>This is old statement here Paradox himself who is 2-A on this site said Alien X the most powerful being in the universe. Alien X should be higher via statement in the show.
No offense, but this is a very flawed and misleading argument. Paradox himself is not physically 2-B (2-A was debunked above). In fact, Paradox himself is not even a tier 2 being physically. With his powers, he is only like....7-A to 4-B at best. Paradox is only tier 2 using the Chrono Navigator, so even with using this statement of him saying Alien X is the strongest being in the universe, the scaling that would come from this said statement would only let Alien X scale above Paradox's individual capabilities. Not something seperate like a weapon. So this point is completely useless.
FireStorm808's arguments
>The difference between this recreation feat and the OFF one is that Alien X can fight and uses his energy and puts it into an inanimate object. The total energy in the Time Bomb is constant since creation.
2 problems with this very point.
First, it is still just as Ever previously said. Creating an object, even from your own power, doesn't mean that you scale to it. This is a standard we already have on the wiki, which is precisely why not all creator god characters are automatically given the abilities of what they create in their verse without explicit concrete evidence. Generally the stuff you create is separate from you. And this is going under the assumption that his universal reset effected the bomb in the first place.
Second, "the total energy in the time bomb is constant since creation" is implying that the bomb in general is a 2-B device in both AP and durability, which contradicts your later arguments. I'll continue this below.
>The issue with point 1 is that Vilgax is in posession of the bomb since the 1700s. It was always in the Prime Timeline and in the universe when it was destroyed and recreated.
The issue with point 2 is that the assumption of the bomb surviving is contradicted by Starbeard and Bellicus explicitly stating that Alien X recreated the Universe and everything in it.
Multiple issues with this.
First off, while Vilgax does have possession of the bomb since the 1700s in the prime universe, this doesn't automatically prove the bomb remained in the prime universe, especially up to the point in time where Ben used Alien X to restore it. What proves Vilgax remained in the prime universe with the bomb as opposed to going to another reality? And this is assuming that Ben used Alien X to restore the past and future versions of the prime universe as opposed to just the present space-time being destroyed.
Second, im repeating what I said before. This bomb is supposed to be a 2-B weapon capable of destroying countless universes and timelines. It being able to be effected by a simple Low 2-C destruction and reset makes absolutely no sense. This is especially glaring when you earlier said that the bombs energy is "constant". If the energy is constant and not only in use when the bombs actually activated, why are you arguing that the universe's destruction and recreation effected it? Constant 2-B energy would laugh off a universal reset attempt. And it should be remembered here that Alien X himself was completely unaffected by the Annilaarg's universe destruction so that he could reset it. That shows that something comparable to or superior to the Annilaarg's Low 2-C power is safe from it's effects. So why would the 2-B Time Bomb be any different from this?
>Creating a device from existing materials is one thing. Creating the device and its power source from your own energy is another matter.
Yeah, where is this proven to be the case? Also, there is another glaring point that I should point out.
The Universe Being "completely destroyed"
What the sub-title says. While relooking into Alien X's feat, there is something fishy that I dont recall being brought up before. Now, the feat is still undoubtedly Low 2-C.
But the prime universe was not completely destroyed before Ben recreated it.
Ben explicitly says that
"the universe is being destroyed" when trying to get permission from Belicus and Serena to use Alien X. Not anything akin to saying
"the universe has bee destroyed". And if that isn't enough to convince you, we literally
see the universe
in the middle of its destruction
from within Alien X. Serena even comments on how its sad to see the universe's inhabitants go. This strongly implies that the universe wasn't entirely destroyed but was in the middle of the process and would have been totally destroyed later on if Ben didnt get permission in time to recreate it.
So if the universe wasn't completely destroyed before the reset, then its even more speculative to argue that the Chronosapien Time Bomb was effected without any explicit proof otherwise.
