Creators and Creations
While reading vol 2 of the LN, i came across this statement, which was also in the WN, that basically got me to rethink how we tier the characters:
The context here is that Shiro and Kuro were talking about love, and that topic lead to love in another world, one of the heroes was in love with a woman from the 2-D world. Because Shiro looks at everything equally, she perceives the 2-D game world as no different from the 3-D real world and thus Kuro gets inaccurate knowledge of the 3-D world, cause Shiro didn't differentiate between the 2, there is no such thing as monsters in the real world nor affection points. but to Shiro there is no difference between a game world and reality.[Fumu fumu, after you encounter them and talk with them, they would go out and have a meal together… But, isn’t that how it normally is? I mean, even if you don’t have that Afexion or anything like that, isn’t that how it normally ends?]
[No, it seems like that isn’t where it ends… it seems like after you accumulated enough affection, you can receive a powerful weapon or an item that’s useful for your adventures.]
[After you get along and fall in love in another world, you get a weapon from your partner!? Not like an accessory or something like that?]
[Yes, it seems like monsters appear in the 2-D world, so it might have been a pretty harsh place to live in.]
[I- Is that so… So there are also monsters in the other world.]
At this point, if someone from another world had heard them, there would have been lots of points that they had tsukkomi’d about. First of all, she had only read all the things related to the word “love” from that person’s mind, and yet, there’s a fatal flaw from the information given by Shallow Vernal, someone who looks at everything equally.
That’s right, she only perceives the 2-D game world and the real 3-D world as the same, and since she has only extracted the necessary information, without caring about the quality of each information, depending on who hears it, they may only get severely one-sided information from her.
Unfortunately though, there is no one here who can correct them.-Chapter 34
We next get another statement that Shiro sees no difference between the living things she has created, the plants, earth nor the world itself:
[…Please continue.]
[Yes. Errr, if Shiro-san is omniscient and omnipotent, a being that doesn’t have any openings for anyone to take advantage of, I may have been afraid of you. However, Shiro-san may be omnipotent, but you’re not omniscient, right?]
[Yes.]
[That’s why, I guess I’m just thinking about your power as something that makes you Shiro-san? I think I’m not afraid because I can feel that it’s just part of your personality.]
[…………]
Actually, I don’t really know the details why either.
I think I was scared when I first met her, but now, I’m just thinking of Shiro-san as an airheaded cheat… and a very attractive woman.
At the very least, I don’t feel scared, I’m sure I still wouldn’t feel scared in the future.
At my words, Shiro-san stayed silent for a few moments before she spoke again.
[…Indeed, I am not omniscient. On the contrary, I don’t even know myself.]
[…Eh?]
[I can’t see any difference between the living beings, the plants, or the earth… the world I have created. All of them seem to have the same value in my eyes… Am I coldhearted? Do I not… love this world?]-Chapter 148
Kaito goes on to argue that it's not that she is cold hearted for seeing everything as being equal, but that she loves everything equally, and thus isn't cold hearted:
[The opposite?]
[Yes. I think Shiro-san probably loves this world more than anyone else.]
[…Eh?]
As if my statement was too surprising, Shiro-san’s voice just now was clearly filled with emotions. For the first time, there was an inflection in her voice.
Still lying down on her thighs, I move my face and look into Shiro-san’s beautiful golden eyes as I spoke my thoughts.
[Shiro-san loves this world you created with all your heart. Everything that exists in this world can be traced back to Shiro-san. That must be why you’re trying to look at every being the same way? Because the living beings, the plants and the earth are all equally loved by you… Because you don’t see anyone of them being more superior over the other, looking at them with the same eyes that you look at the others, and rarely try to get involved in the world… and by not holding out your hand to help any side, you’re showing them how everyone has the same worth.]
[…………]
[I guess that’s also why? The otherworlder me…”This me who wasn’t born in the world Shiro-san created” really fits the role of someone Shiro-san would get involved with…]-Chapter 148
Now you could take this all as her mindset, and not really that there is any sort of transcendence going on here, except that it's repeated multiple times that there is.
First it is stated that there is a clear and cruel difference in rank between a world's creator and their creations:
[…Ultimate authority——!? Everyone, retreat!]
[Too late! “Judgment of Time and Space”!]
Predicting the threat of the trump card from Chronois’ words, Alice urged the others to leave, but before they could… Chronois activated that power.
What is this ultimate authority? In the first place, the Gods’ power was given to them by the God of Creation, Shallow Vernal. In other words, that ultimate authority is none other than…”the authority that Shallow Vernal herself directly uses”.
Yes, the Supreme Gods had been given a special magic crystal in which Shallow Vernal had directly stored her magic power, filled with the authority of each respective Supreme Gods.
Some of those gathered here may be able to use magic that affects space. Some of them may even be able to use sealing techniques that could invalidate magic that affect space. But even if that’s so, not one of them could resist the power of Shallow Vernal herself.
That is the clear and cruel difference in rank that exists between a world’s creator and her creations.
All of Human-Demon Allied Forces’ movements and thoughts… stopped with the space.-Chapter 633
When Fate tried to take in Shiro's power, Chronois explains that Shiro's power is different from them, and if Fate tries to take it in, her very existence would disappear:
[That’s why… I’m going to do this!]
As she said this, the powerful magic power that Fate had been clad in started weakening. At the same time, Fate’s face started being dyed in pain.
[Guuuhhhh, aaAaaAaaAAAAAhhHHH!?]
[God of Fate… What are you? Wait, don’t tell me—— Stop! Don’t absorb Shallow Vernal-sama’s magic power into your body!]
As Fate screamed louder, her body cracked little by little, emitting a strong light. Looking as if Fate was on the verge of exploding from within, Chronois hurriedly tried to stop her.
[Our magic power is different from that of Shallow Vernal-sama’s! If you take it into your body, your very existence will be “painted over and you’ll disappear”! You won’t just die, you know!? It would be a complete annihilation of your existence! Stop it!!!]
[AaaaAaaaAaaaAaaaAAAAAA!?]
[God of Fate!?]
[Fate-san!!!]
The powers that Shallow Vernal gave the Gods were something like a blessing. It’s as if they’re wearing a membrane made of Shallow Vernal’s magic power on top of their own.
That is all that they were bestowed with. Just as Chronois said, the magic power Shallow Vernal had is of a different caliber. It is only an external boost, and if you take it into your body… The original magic power within your body would be immediately swallowed by Shallow Vernal’s magic power, along with their existence.
If that happens, even Life’s power will no longer be able to revive her. It would mean that the existence of Fate would disappear from the world. And for Fate, such a time draws near.
With the intense pain that seemed to rip through her body, the consciousness of the being known as Fate was being painted in white, disappearing from existence.-Chapter 633
Considering the fact that this difference in rank between Creator and Creations, is shown to the degree that if a creation takes in Shiro, The Creator's power, their very existence would disappear, that basically proves that Shiro's existence itself, is above her creations, and the previous stuff about perceiving all her creations from the plants to the "world" itself as being no different from each other, is very much literal.
If this isn't already enough to convince you, once Fate ascends into the realm of World Creators, she is stated to have transcended time and space:
[!? W- What is this… this magic power!?]
[It’s just like Shallow Vernal-sama’s…]
Sensing the clearly different magic power, Chronois and Life looked astonished. As if in response to their dumbfounded mutters, the light converged and settled on a single point.
[…It was just a bit.]
As her “silvery-white” hair swayed, her beautiful voice echoed through the space, expressing to everyone her definite presence.
[It might be like taking just one step at the foot of a mountain so big that I can’t see the top.]
Her change isn’t only in her hair. Her eyes where her authority dwells… became “purple with a golden pattern in it”… Eyes that are unique to her.
[But yes, I did take a step forward.]
When the light was completely cleared, reigning in the space with her overwhelming sense of presence that seemed to swallow everything, that being——
[…Transcending time, space and life—— I’ve arrived—— to the realm where Shallow Vernal-sama and Underworld King resides.]
God of Fate… No—— the transcendent God called Fate.-Chapter 633
So again the realm of World Creators is one which transcends time and space, and Fate once she reaches that, is even called a transcendent God. So again all this stuff about Creators being in a different rank than creations and perceiving stuff from the earth itself to the literal universe as being the same, is very much about transcendence.
Now if all this wasn't enough, and for example you think world doesn't mean universe or something, later on in the series, Shiro wanted Kaito to ask for her help which he does, she gives him the perspective to be able to look down on the entire universe to observe her creating black holes and big bangs

-Chapter 847
With all this i believe ppl on Incomplete Shiro's level should be Low 1-C.
Higher Dimensions
If anything this is just support for all that i already said above, when Shiro's Epilogue was being explained it was stated that beings exist that can freely create higher dimensions:A certain being appeared out of nowhere in one of the many worlds. At first, it did not take any action, continuously staring at the world… before without rhyme nor reason, it brought the world to its end.
The information about this being was passed on to the creators of many worlds by a god with the power called omniscient… but at that time, it was not perceived as a threat.
Because for most of the creators of worlds, erasing a single world is not an impossible task. For those who exist outside the scope of logic… there is nothing noteworthy about omnipotent beings, beings that exceed omnipotence, being that cannot even be described by the word infinite, and beings that can freely create higher dimensions.
They could easily deal with her… at that time… that was what they thought.
Omnipotent beings, beings that exceed omnipotence, beings that cannot even be described by the word infinite, and even those beings that can create higher dimensions at will… Their worlds were brought to an end and they disappeared.-Chapter 575
The after stories reveals that at the level of Makina, there are no differences in terms of strength:
![9db70e54444f4ed6eb60c441fbe0d234.png](https://i.gyazo.com/9db70e54444f4ed6eb60c441fbe0d234.png)
-Chapter 938
The only exceptions are Shiro and Nebula, which i will get to below, but what this means is that clearly Makina is one of these beings who can freely create higher dimensions. Makina is far superior to Incomplete Shiro as she is just "Quasi-Omnipotent", while Makina is "Beyond Omnipotent", however this is another showcase of the transcendence that i have been talking about, we already have the notion of a fictitious game world being 2-D, and there being a real 3-D world, pretty clear what a higher dimension would be in all this context.
Nebula The Almightyslayer
In the afterstories, we are introduced to Nebula who was formerly the top of the gods. She is a being that is absolutely superior to all other beings
![41c19240d496ccb2a8553fdb2e133a19.png](https://i.gyazo.com/41c19240d496ccb2a8553fdb2e133a19.png)
-Chapter 938
Now everything i already posted above being accepted, a generic World Creator would be 5-D, and Nebula is at the top of this hierarchy, and has absolute superior over 5-D beings, as she encompasses everything, and whatever she faces she will be a superior version of, all power is useless against her and all power is encompassed in her.
Nebula had no world of her own but subdued as many worlds as there are stars
![8b34bca5e2e45d8a7467caa3715b5bc5.png](https://i.gyazo.com/8b34bca5e2e45d8a7467caa3715b5bc5.png)
-Chapter 938
And it's again later explained that whatever she encompasses, she keeps:
![e3228fa13cd990fb6fc7d1803693ad88.png](https://i.gyazo.com/e3228fa13cd990fb6fc7d1803693ad88.png)
-Chapter 942
This means at a minimum, she would have the power equivalent of like what? Thousands of 5-D beings? Her power is weird, lets say we take this absolute superiority literally, would we say that she would vary between 5-D and 6-D, as her base level would be high into 5-D, but whatever she encounters she will just become superior to due to her encompassing them? That's just a hypothetical of what her tier could look like.
Another variable in this is again Makina and beings like her, Makina has control over a literal infinite army of "Quasi-Omnipotent" and "Omnipotent" beings, which if this is all accepted means she has control over infinite 5-D beings, her rival also had the ability to create infinite clones of himself:
![fa884242aa2abfc439af62605aa65ece.png](https://i.gyazo.com/fa884242aa2abfc439af62605aa65ece.png)
As already shown above and by this, there aren't really definitive victories at Makina's level, as seen here it's literally infinity vs infinity, the only exceptions that break this logic are Nebula and Shiro, even if Makina has an infinite number of 5-D beings, she would still just get encompassed by Nebula.
What does this all mean for tiering? Not too sure, either Nebula is/can become stupidly high into 5-D, or she is 6-D, not sure on the latter.
The Epilogue
The Epilogue is already established to have a r>f relationship with everything, it's why Shiro is the be all end all, because compared to her everyone are just character's in a story. So obviously if the "Quasi-Omnipotent" beings are 5-D, The Epilogue and Complete Shiro become 6-D, if we take Nebula's absolute superiority as being 6-D, Shiro then becomes 7-D, which again not too confident about the latter.
Hax Implications
If this revision passes, the Supreme Gods will have smurf abilities, as i already posted in like the first section, Shiro gave them her own magic, with the authority she uses, thus that ability would be 5-D hax.The Gods in the final arc were resistant to any status effects because they were wearing Shiro's magic power, thus they have smurf resistances i think.
Alice Ultimate Battle Form, now becomes Low 1-C cause it will eventually let her beat Makina, and Alice has resisted Chronois authority given to her by Shiro, thus she also gets smurf resistances.
TLDR
- "Quasi Omnipotent" Beings become 5-D
- Nebula is really high into 5-D or 6-D.
- Complete Shiro is either 6-D or 7-D.
- Characters will be getting 5-D smurf hax
Accepted
- "Quasi Omnipotent" Beings become 5-D
- Characters will be getting 5-D smurf hax
- Makina is 6-D
- Nebula is 7-D
- Complete Shiro is 8-D
Requires More Input
- Kuro while being a higher dimension being that trivializes space-time, not being able to affect other "worlds/dimensions". If these worlds/dimensions are indeed higher dimensions which is the only thing which makes sense here, what exactly does that mean for Incomplete Shiro and Kuro's rating? When she destroyed those several dimensions, then would those be several higher dimensions?
