You mean like how Shiva himself had no idea what was going to happen when he used it?
Precisely my reasoning on it.
If person A has no idea of something being true or not, does the something and then what the claim state is evident to not be likely (burning away the world) it is reasonable to reject the hypothesis.
IE= Shiva doesn't know what the dance does, the dance is claimed to burn away the world, it clearly doesn't have that kind of heat output, we can assume the text in the RoR's Vedas to be false.
um yes actually, inferential routes to logical conclusions that still follow normal stuff like in RoR are fine to use this is simply inference within the range of data we have. I do agree that typically they'd have been extremely direct in the matter as is the norm, however this is a month-by-month manga series and inconsistencies like this can occur. That, however, doesn't disprove the point I made. However typically word pattern does not negate the fact we see it on panel of Shiva's Tandava Karma not doing what was stated. If you want to extrapolate that in fact, he can burn away the world with his dance due to the Vedas piece I don't think I can convince you. I will say it is more of a hax than an AP feat regardless of which way you want to split the topic. He also kills himself and a lot as mentioned in a previous post here and on a different thread points out RoR characters often do not scale to these great powers of theirs here's a list:
1)Shiva dying to his dance 2) Lu-Bu can't take what he dishes out with Thor's hammer breaking his legs 3) The primordial gods died for using their power 4) Raiden's muscles 5) Heracles 12 labors damage him 6) Adam's Eyes of the Lord killed him with over use 7) Beelzebub's Chaos attack literally damages himself significantly 8) Zeus's adamas form is said to make his muscles scream.
I'm sure I've mentioned other points before about this. They do not scale though via UES or anything like that as is evident.
But enough of that, let's say the Vedas was correct, let's say Shiva does scale to his Tandava Karma, that is one tier 5 feat with a litany of other feats and abilites that make Shiva's comparatively an outlier even in the best of cases here. Thor doesn't, the general gods don't, the other strongest in the verse don't have feats, the arch enemies of the setting (Primordial Gods) died using their powers and we have no knowledge of what they even do, some of the feats are implied overtime (Chaos Shiva's dance), the Völund do not increase the attack power of humans, there is no evidence on what the Midgard serpent was like, and over all there isn't enough evidence to say Shiva nor the gods deserve to be tier 5.
As others and I have pointed out, they have no intentions of destroying the earth outright and will just evolve a different species. Destroying the heavens means nothing if we have no context to what the heavens are like geographically or spatially in its whole, we don't even know if the worlds Valhalla, Midgard, and Helheim are even equal in size to one another. One could be the size of the One Piece planet, or even just Europe or whatever the best assessment we have is Midgard being a reflection to our real world but this doesn't substantiate planetary for ANYONE as there exists no evidence.
