There are various updates to do to The White Quee's page, but before we get to the AP stuff that gives the thread the title let's first get to the weapon that is her namesake.
Why the Sword of Unsullied Truth is called what it's called
After the incidents in the last volume the White Queen was in something like a psychologically unstable state. As a result the sword of truth, her battle costume, demonstrates its individual function.
There are several other statements like that, but you get the drill. The way things look I believe we can agree that the way it makes sure the Queen is always right is not truth manipulation, but instead something archived through destruction and (re)creation.
As such the White Queen should get Creation abilities.
AP stuff
As you read in the first post the Sword of Truth forms a giant white cocoon in this volume. The cocoon slowly expands and should it reach 10km in size it will be the end of the world, one way or another.
The interesting part is that we get various estimations of the Sword of Truth's and the White Queen's destructive power that way.
First we have the following:
Supernova
So with this we first have pretty reliable statements of supernova level. How high is supernova level?
Well, the unit Foe that we also use in our AP chart is defined as the characteristic power of a supernova. So such an attack should have about 1 Foe of power. That would be Large Star level.
But that is actually just the low end estimation. There is also a high end one given.
Black Hole
Let's get straight to the quotes.
A black hole that swallows the solar system is solar system level (both due to obvious reasons as also black hole calculation reasons).
Now one could debate whether or not the high end estimation isn't unreliable, with the low end estimation being better sourced, but it actually doesn't matter. The White Queen should be stronger than that either way, since she is and believes herself far more powerful than anything the Sword of Truth could produce. We will get to that quote a bit later. First:
Galaxy level
Nothing new of this volume, but relevant to the debate is the fact that the White Queen herself (as opposed to the far weaker Sword of Truth) already has Galaxy level statements.
Sooo... yeah, those exits.
Universe level
Some of you guys might have already heard about the Queen having feats of universe destruction. Until this point those came from a non-canon comedy crossover. But now the White Queen also has a universe level statement in canon:
Yep, she might blow up the entire dimension. Which dimension? Well, in this case this means nothing but the human universe as that is where they and the cocoon are currently in.
What to do with that?
The main question is what we do with the spectrum of statements. I would say that we should disregard the universe level one for now as it is might blow up the entire dimension. I think we also have enough evidence for her being above Large Star level. Aside from that I am uncertain, considering that Galaxy level was deemed not reliable enough in the past.
Time Stop / Slow
With the big thing out of the way, let's talk about some more feats of time manipulation the Queen has. Namely she screwed with the passage of the at Kyousuke's original home.
So the time for the flow of the house seems as if it was stopped. For those that enter the house time is also not flowing normally.
So time when entering the building seems to slow.
Rewriting the timeline & her resistance to it
Until now it seemed like the White Queen rewriting the past was more of a one time event caused by her defeating the Unexplored-Class. But this Volume makes it sound a lot more casual:
So it is worth considering that she could generally do that.
At the same time we are also presented with a weakness: Her ability to rewrite the past is less strong than her ability to make it impossible to affect herself or anything she has caused via causality manipulation or time shenanigans. In other words she can not change her own past.
There is a statements of the narrator that suggests this ability to be even stronger than thought to this point:
This suggests that if the White Queen kills someone even the parallel world versions will not survive. (Or it would become impossible to bring them into the main universe, but that seems roundabout)
Teleportation
Last but not least the White Queen can apparently teleport by splitting the dimension open:
Why the Sword of Unsullied Truth is called what it's called
After the incidents in the last volume the White Queen was in something like a psychologically unstable state. As a result the sword of truth, her battle costume, demonstrates its individual function.
"First of all, I am having a hard time accepting what happened. Namely, that I was scolded by you and had my beloved brother taken from me. No matter how much my conscious mind tries to logically accept it, my subconscious pride will not allow it. That is how the heart works." Shigara Masami of course had no intention of stealing Kyousuke for herself. In fact, she had intervened to help those two get along. <Are you saying that subconscious part of you is controlling that cocoon ― the transformed version of your Sword of Truth?> "The thing about that is…" The White Queen started to point a finger at the cocoon expanding and growing in the distance, but she quickly stopped and pointed with her chin instead when she realized moving her arm left some things exposed. "You could say that battle costume guarantees I am always right. That mass of violence will turn white to black or black to white for me. It normally changes form in response to my commands, but it is based on the 'weapons which, when used by their rightful owner, will fly around and achieve victory all on their own' which are found in Celtic, Norse, Alaskan, Japanese, and other mythologies. Although in this case, it is not bothering with choosing individual targets and likely intends to achieve victory by destroying the entire world, eliminating all that is unnecessary, and remaking everything again." |
The Sword of Truth, the White Queen's battle uniform, has the divine power to guarantee she is always right even if that means turning white into black or vice versa. It normally obeys her commands, but it is essentially an item that automatically fights to bring her victory. | ||
~ From the "Facts" sectio |
And the Sword of Truth, which was the White Queen's battle costume, was a force used to ensure she was always right. It would make white black or vice-versa. To do that, it would automatically fight and bring victory to its master. If it lacked something, it would construct that something to make all the necessary preparations. |
As such the White Queen should get Creation abilities.

First we have the following:
Supernova
The Sword of Truth guarantees I am always right. It will continue to grow endlessly and meaninglessly as long as there is something I cannot accept and it could trigger a supernova if its 5km diameter reaches 10km. | ||
~ Said by the White Quee |
According to a Government researcher named Maria Heartocean, the 5km cocoon's limit was 10km. If it grew beyond that, there was a risk of a supernova-level explosion. | ||
~ Estimation by a skilled scientist |
The cocoon currently has a diameter of 5km. If it grows to 10km, it might produce a supernova-level explosion. | ||
~ From a "Facts"-sectio |
Well, the unit Foe that we also use in our AP chart is defined as the characteristic power of a supernova. So such an attack should have about 1 Foe of power. That would be Large Star level.
But that is actually just the low end estimation. There is also a high end one given.
Black Hole
Let's get straight to the quotes.
"Did you give this any thought at all!? Ahem. Anyway, that is the power that protects me. If it bursts in its current uncontrolled state, the best case scenario is a fireball large enough to fry the entire planet, but it might also produce enough gravity to create a black hole that swallows the entire solar system." | ||
~ by White Queen |
The cocoon was the White Queen's battle costume, but it still had a limit. It looked stable at the moment, but that was only because the battle costume's incredible defensive power was containing the massive amount of energy inside. But what would happen once the dam cracked? In the worst case, this could form a black hole that would swallow up the entire solar system. | ||

Now one could debate whether or not the high end estimation isn't unreliable, with the low end estimation being better sourced, but it actually doesn't matter. The White Queen should be stronger than that either way, since she is and believes herself far more powerful than anything the Sword of Truth could produce. We will get to that quote a bit later.

Nothing new of this volume, but relevant to the debate is the fact that the White Queen herself (as opposed to the far weaker Sword of Truth) already has Galaxy level statements.
Let's test out something you think has to be impossible. Let's test out something you have subconsciously kept in mind as something not even the White Queen could accomplish. I will relieve you of that delusion. Oh, dear. There's no reason to tense up like that. I'm not talking about splitting the earth in two, swallowing the solar system, or balling up the milky way. Besides, I doubt that kind of obvious violence would surprise you at this point. I'm talking about something more unexpected, more absurd, and more fun. | ||
~ Volume 4 Prologue |
"Let the hunt begin." The father stared at the son's game board and moved a piece. Once they had a goal, the greater than 10,000 White Queens would begin to move as one. And any member of that group was powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy. | ||
~ Volume 7 Stage 03 part 6 |
Universe level
Some of you guys might have already heard about the Queen having feats of universe destruction. Until this point those came from a non-canon comedy crossover. But now the White Queen also has a universe level statement in canon:
"Let's stop that cocoon's expansion," she said. "It is my possession after all." <Very good. And that clothing is just an added bonus. Your bare arms should be the most powerful thing of all. Can't you just tear it apart?> "How about you remind yourself who it was that psychologically stripped me of my power? I am not exactly at top form at the moment." Of course, that did not mean she was weak in any sense of the word. She was still the White Queen. This was more an issue of instability, so she might blow up the entire dimension if she tried using her power now. |
What to do with that?
The main question is what we do with the spectrum of statements. I would say that we should disregard the universe level one for now as it is might blow up the entire dimension. I think we also have enough evidence for her being above Large Star level. Aside from that I am uncertain, considering that Galaxy level was deemed not reliable enough in the past.
Time Stop / Slow
With the big thing out of the way, let's talk about some more feats of time manipulation the Queen has. Namely she screwed with the passage of the at Kyousuke's original home.
The house Doctor S used as a lab was preserved as if time had stopped. Presumably, this was the result of the heavy burden placed on it by the White Queen's power. | ||
~ From "Facts"sectio |
The scene had not changed in a decade. If he wanted a logical explanation, he could assume that someone had been maintaining the place. But he sealed away that weak opinion. Since when did logic and common sense apply to the White Queen? Those things could be useful as a support, but binding his thoughts with them would only shorten his life. So he knew what to say. "Time must have been stopped here." "…" "This is a holy ground. These coordinates hold some kind of meaning to the White Queen as well. With her, distorting time and space should not come as a surprise. In fact, it's a little surprising we don't see the house flipped upside down or floating in the air." | ||
~ Kyousuke - White Queen expert |
<Wait, what?> Rain poured down on their heads like from an overturned bucket. They looked up and saw thick and dark rainclouds. They also heard the intermittent rumbling of thunder. Sudden downpours were common in midsummer, but that was not enough to explain this. The sky had been clear as could be just a moment before. "The sun," said the White Queen with her soaked casual dress clinging to her skin. Only then did Shigara Masami notice the overall coloration of their surroundings. It was dusk. The dark clouds overhead added to the darkness, but the sun's position in the sky made no sense. And this rainfall had not just started. In fact, it looked like it was starting to let up. The orange of sunset managed to pierce through some gaps in the clouds. Shigara Masami forgot all about the rain hitting her as she muttered in disbelief. <But we only spent a few minutes in there. All we did was check the children's room, right?> "The flow of time can grow stagnant in places. You must have known that. We should count ourselves lucky that we did not find a few centuries had passed when we left." <…> "Heyyy," called Biondetta. "You're really starting to worry me, so could you at least tell me whether you're alive or not?" They were afraid to ask. It was raining outside and sunny inside. So how had Biondetta kept a consistent image in her head while she watched them from afar? |
It was night. Kyousuke and Aoi had left that house for the time being. That was partially because they were unsure what effects the distorted flow of time would have. |
Rewriting the timeline & her resistance to it
Until now it seemed like the White Queen rewriting the past was more of a one time event caused by her defeating the Unexplored-Class. But this Volume makes it sound a lot more casual:
"Or to put it another way: who is the White Queen?" "…" "A direct timeline is meaningless when talking about her. She could easily have rewritten the past after being born in the present, so I am going to risk suggesting a bold theory. Why does she call you 'brother'? Or to put it more clearly, is the White Queen your little sister?" |
"Boy, you don't get to take back what you said. Not unless you go crying to the White Queen who can bend the timeline." "What…what are you trying to say, Meinokawa Aoi!?" "Let's get to the heart of the matter already. Boy, the one and only thing you can't forgive the White Queen for is some incident from the past, right? The Queen was not harmless, so you can't forgive her. You get goose bumps, feel nauseated and dizzy, get a headache, and feel other symptoms of a cold, but it all goes back to the same thing." "You can't change the past." "Of course not. I'm sure the Queen can mess with the timeline, but because she is a singularity like that, she cannot change the things she herself has caused. Isn't that how it works?" |
At the same time we are also presented with a weakness: Her ability to rewrite the past is less strong than her ability to make it impossible to affect herself or anything she has caused via causality manipulation or time shenanigans. In other words she can not change her own past.
There is a statements of the narrator that suggests this ability to be even stronger than thought to this point:
If the White Queen directly killed someone, then that was the end. There was no way of bringing them back, even if you introduced time travel or parallel worlds. |
Teleportation
Last but not least the White Queen can apparently teleport by splitting the dimension open:
If she had wanted to, she could have grown wings or split the dimension to escape to the other side of the planet. |
