Speed update

Originally one of the best speed feats present in the series was that of Dante engaging in battle with Void Mundus and dodging him despite being an omnipresent void within the castle, said void being called an endless darkness. This feat was downgraded on the basis of Mundus and Dante fighting in the darkness and Mundus hiding in the dark/void and Mundus not being omnipresent.

So let's start.

The Void.

In the english release of the novel, Mundus is stated to be the void which Dante is fighting. Mundus isn't hiding within the void/darkness, he is that void/darkness itself.

The original language of the novel also says the same thing, the darkness is alive and Dante talks to it when referring to Mundus, someone even questions if this is the true form of mundus (page 194), Beryl is in the palace of endlessly spreading darkness aka the living darkness from earlier (page 197), when Beryl looks at the demon king she can only see coagulate darkness and questions herself if that's even the demon king (page 197), Dante slashes at the darkness (mundus himself) penetrating his body (page 198) The dark form, which seemed utterly impervious to harm, trembled and groaned in pain (page 199).

So yes, Mundus IS the Void / Darkness that endlessly spreads through the palace.

The argument that Mundus is hiding in the darkness and that Dante and Mundus are fighting inside that darkness has zero basis beyond some wonky understanding of the fight. With all that in mind then this thread should be reinstated and the speed should go back to Infinite.

This would scale to practically all the God Tiers of the verse, some downscale (because narratively it doesn't make sense that Void Mundus is infinitely faster than his original timeline counterpart) and obviously the others would upscale from this by being comparable or faster than the version of Dante who fought and blitzed the demon king.


Miscellaneous additions:

Demon Physiology

1) Sargassos have NEP Natures Type 1 & 3 Aspects 1, 3 & 4

OP committed a mistake and it was supposed to be aspect 2 instead of 4 (since they are nonexistent spirits their concept would be as well).

So what changes? Demons who scale to them will have aspect 2 instead of 4 (argosax)

Also demons should get NPI to the sargasso's NEP since they are a low level class and thus part of the natural ecosystem of lesser devils who kill each other for power, food or others.

* Non-Physical Interaction (Demons should be able to interact with Sargasso's who are low level demons and have Nonexistent physiology Type 1 & 3; Aspects 1, 2 & 3 [they are non-existent and transcendent in nature in comparison to physical plane])

2) Power Mimicry

I don't know how to word this but Dante states some demons are able to copy the powers, movements, and abilities of those they see.
3) Regeneration and Immortality negation
This should be self evident. Demons are able to kill each other, they do so all the time for power, control, bloodlust, whatever reason. Some even do it to eat other demons. Also I ignored immortalities like 1 and 7 since they are just "cant age, and undead", not exactly something you can negate with normal means (I think 2 should also go as well but idk)

Regeneration Negation (Low-Godly; Demons can kill each other be it for food, power or other reasons. Nothing in the Human World can kill them.)

Immortality Negation (Types 2, 3, 4, & 6; Demons can kill each other be it for food, power or other reasons. Nothing in the Human World can kill them.)


4) Self sustenance

type 2 is already in the profiles but should get type 1 too given the air in the demon world is toxic and they don't have oxygen and stuff, moreover we have seen demons can be indefinitely under water

Self-Sustenance (Types 1 & 2; Demons can survive indefinitely without food or water and underwater.)

Dante

Dante is the only one who was shown to be able to interact with The Void aka The Demon King or just Void Mundus so his DMC 2 Key would get this

Dante will get resistance to Void Mundus hax as he existed within the void without ill effect


Agree: 4 (@Random-Helper323, @Planck69, @LephyrTheRevanchist, @Elizhaa)

Disagree:

Neutral:

So normal Mundus (along with some of the god tiers) are below baseline Infinite speed?
 
Looking over the OP and the discussion, and knowing the verse well, I think I agree with Planck.
 
This seems fine but why does Dante have Aspect 4 interaction? Mundus doesn't have that nor does the verse currently have Fundamental Information to my knowledge.
editing mistake

thread was planned and done before the mundus thing was over

there is no such thing as "below baseline" afaik so everyone up to void mundus will be baseline, just below VM

not like it matters because I'm already working on an update for Argosax and OG Mundus so they will become the baseline in the future or Sid.... or Pluto

Then it's fine.
 
Agree with everything, though the EE & Void resistances should also go to Demon Physiology (Demon Kings) and to Vergil & Nero since it specifically says that those who are comparable to Mundus can still stay

This and also add layered with NEP 1 since you scale it above Sargassos @Tony_di_bugalu

I thought the regeneration-neutralizing and immortality thing had been on the site for a long time. I agree with everything. I've been thinking about these things for a while.
 
So, this is being added to all demons because it was said that some demons do this?
I was thinking about this and I came to the conclusion that I'm not completely sure.

Dante is talking in general that some demons can replicate moves as if they were exact copies, some like Plasma and Doppelgänger are examples of this as they literally become their target while others like Dante and Vergil are shown to copy things with merely a glance.

It's not like Demons can't change shapes and figures to steal their enemies move set and powers but I see the issue with giving it to all demons too since they don't usually do this.

Well, then I think you could insert a "probably" into the generalization or use Dante's comment as support for demons that explicitly have this (like Plasma and Doppelgänger).

And a small note, I personally think that in certain contexts things like "most" and "some" can be the standard for certain character categories depending on the context.

Hypothetical example: If it were said that "some demons can use telekinesis," but all demons of medium level and above demonstrate telekinesis mostly and consistently. I personally wouldn't have a problem generalizing that among the "some demons" to those of medium level and above, this is a "standard."

It's just that I found the mimicry thing a very crude justification in context.

I think I can agree with this. It also looks like some weird kind of Large Size type 8 for Void Mundus.
Demon Physiology
1) Sargassos have NEP Natures Type 1 & 3 Aspects 1, 3 & 4

Are Sargasso getting a profile?

Argosax is fine. I don't think anyone else scales to them.
Also demons should get NPI to the sargasso's NEP since they are a low level class and thus part of the natural ecosystem of lesser devils who kill each other for power, food or others.
* Non-Physical Interaction (Demons should be able to interact with Sargasso's who are low level demons and have Nonexistent physiology Type 1 & 3; Aspects 1, 2 & 3 [they are non-existent and transcendent in nature in comparison to physical plane])

I don't know how to word this but Dante states some demons are able to copy the powers, movements, and abilities of those they see.
This is fine for Plasma, Doppelganger, etcetera. Maybe a possibly and limited over time for demons via adaptation?
3) Regeneration and Immortality negation
This should be self evident. Demons are able to kill each other, they do so all the time for power, control, bloodlust, whatever reason. Some even do it to eat other demons. Also I ignored immortalities like 1 and 7 since they are just "cant age, and undead", not exactly something you can negate with normal means (I think 2 should also go as well but idk)

Regeneration Negation (Low-Godly; Demons can kill each other which would naturally involve negating their regeneration)

Immortality Negation (Types 2, 3, 4, & 6; Demons can kill each other)
Agree.
4) Self sustenance

type 2 is already in the profiles but should get type 1 too given the air in the demon world is toxic and they don't have oxygen and stuff, moreover we have seen demons can be indefinitely under water

Self-Sustenance (Types 1 & 2; Demons can survive indefinitely without food or water and underwater.)
A scan also states that Dante can't breathe in one of the dimensions, so we know they don't actually need to breathe. So agree.

Funny thing is, this is barely a feat in itself. Absolute Zero collapses very easily in real life. There is however a feat in the fact that Frosts are immune to lava.
Dante

Dante is the only one who was shown to be able to interact with The Void aka The Demon King or just Void Mundus so his DMC 2 Key would get this

This is fine.
and Beyond Dimensional Existence (Type 1) (The Demon King has fused with the Heart and the Nexus of the Demon World and in turn became an empty void, a state superior of that of the Sargasso's own nonexistent nature and that should precede reality as the source of the Demon World. The Void is stated to exist outside of the flow of time and lack directions)
This seems fine.
Dante will get resistance to Void Mundus hax as he existed within the void without ill effect

This is fine.

BDE 1 is simply lacking space time without being superior to them

If you accept NEP 1(Space time) then there is no problem with them having BDE 1
Yeah, it's more the part about lacking directions that I'm unsure on in the OP.

Edit: I updated my response to clarify I'm currently okay with the ability but think the lack of directions part shouldn't be there.

It also states "exists outside of flow of time" + dimensionality and directionality basically same thing

It is not something new I assume, since in previous thread we already accepted NEP for Space Time and BDE 1 already

The time part is fine, but the direction part seems to refer to being unsure for one reason or another rather than literally lacking it.
 
Again this is not something new. It was accepted here.(Literally I see you agreed with thread here?)

Thread is simply addition of NPI to Dante, based on what has been accepted recently.
I literally agreed to the ability and only suggested the issue about direction didn't need to be there.

Looking back at the old thread and re-reading the translations of the novel, I suppose. The book does say that direction is hard to gather including up and down even though their feet are on the ground, so I guess BDE with the direction issue is okay.
 
we still have stuff for immeasurable, im honestly surprised no one brought it up after all the argosax thing with the translation
I have no interest in going for immeasurable in the foreseeable future, more over I need to find the scan that talks about Dante tracking Argosax through the teleport among other things before I can even start thinking of immeasurable speed (it exist in Lucia's guide but that's for another time)

so no, no immeasurable speed for DMC in this year or the next one

So will the characters in DMC have infinite speed?
yes, baseline up to Void Mundus and then you can go wild with the power ups and scaling chains
