Rather than a CRT, this may more accurately be described as as a discussion? I don't feel strongly about this topic, but since no one else wants to do it, I am presenting the arguments here, so we can finally put this topic to rest. This page on the World Creator hierarchy will be vital to all the arguments being presented here.

Makina's Tiering​


ISAP has a hierarchy of increasing powerful higher dimensional beings as seen from the hierarchy page, however what's crucial in current tiering is the space within which Makina's core exists.

Bipolar God Tiana has more dimensions than everyone else, thus lower dimensional beings can't contend with her, with the exception of Makina

<Afterword>


<Bipolar God Tiana>


A being of an exceedingly high dimension, even among the countless worlds. With rare exceptions (such as Epilogue), the laws and abilities of lower dimensions hold no sway over Tiana, she can ignore and nullify all such principles at will.


Ordinarily, the inhabitants of Trinia, a lower-dimensional world, would be unable to perceive Tiana's form or comprehend her language. However, she has adjusted herself for visitation…… to put it simply, she's like something out of Godzilla: Singular Point.


In principle, lower dimension beings cannot possibly contend with Tiana on equal footing…… However, Makina stands as a special case. Her true body exists in a space that does not belong to any dimensional stratum and cannot be reached by anyone, not even herself, without the key possessed by Alice. Due to this overwhelming paradox, she possesses a level of immortality that ranks among the greatest of the World Creators, and as such, there exists a slight possibility that her battling Tiana is viable. Even so, given Tiana's absurdly high base combat power, Makina remains at a distinct disadvantage.-Chapter 2236

Makina can compete with Tiana, because her true body exists in a space that doesn't belong to any dimensional stratum and can't be reached by anyone.

We also know from previous statements that Makina has infinite growth, just like Alice

[……If we just remove the hindrance of a referee, we could do all the irregularity we could think about after all.]


During her conversation with Eden, Alice had continued to strategize and had come up with several methods that would give her a high chance of winning. The one that would have the highest chance…… Using ?κατ?γχειρε?’s Ultimate Battle Form to double the speed of the disarming the techniques used on the cradle.


However, Eden stopped her from doing so. She won’t allow her to interfere in Kaito’s battle……


[Yes, that’s right. Your ?κατ?γχειρε? Ultimate Battle Form gives you great power. Infinite growth and evolution…… I see, with that, “you’ll eventually be able to win”. With that, “you can even win against my omniscient and omnipotent real body”……]


[What!? Don’t tell me……!?]


Immediately after hearing Eden’s words, feeling tremendous power, Alice looked up.


At the end of Alice’s gaze———— was a star. In the sky of the God Realm that has turned into night, there floats something with a nature that is too different to exist in the night sky…… an iron star————- The omniscient and omnipotent Eden’s real body……


[Would you like to give it a try? Will you grow to be more powerful than the omniscient and omnipotent me, or will the match between my beloved child and Shallow Vernal end before you could…… I think it’s a bad bet for you though. Ahh, I’ll have you know that my body obviously also has the ability to infinitely grow and evolve. It would be great if this doesn’t turn into a tug-of-war.]-Chapter 646

This infinite growth is why Alice who was originally 4-A, or High 3-A depending on how this thread goes, got to be 5-D, and is currently almost 7-D. So the current interpretation is that Makina is immortal so Tiana can't kill her and Makina through RE will eventually get to Tiana's level. The most important thing here however is what to consider the space Makina's core exists it

Option 1: Low 1-A​


This option is to keep the current tiering, the details about Makina's core came about during an explanation about higher dimensions, this interpretation is that because it doesn't exist within a dimensional hierarchy, the space the core is in, is Low 1-A, it wouldn't matter if a 10-D, or 100-D being tried to get to it, because it's inaccessible due to being beyond dimensions.

This option has no real bearing on Makina's tiering, her core just exists in a Low 1-A space, it's not itself on that level, other beings just lack the range to reach it.

I suppose another argument for this would be that even someone like Alice with her infinite evolution, which not only gives her more ap, but new abilities, can't reach Makina's core.

Option 2: BDE Type 1​


This honestly is what I am leaning towards after it was brought up and I thought about it. Makina's core is stated to not belong to any dimensional hierarchy, but it isn't stated to be superior to them, that's just an assumption, and another thing is we have no statements from what I remember, of it encompassing everything or anything of that sort, all we know is that even higher dimensional beings can't reach it because it's not part of that hierarchy, and even people with reactive evolution also can't reach it, the latter could just be explained as a limitation on Alice's RE, and not proof of L1-A.

So yea, this option removes L1A, and just adds BDE type 1 for Makina's core.


Nebula's Tiering​


While making this thread, and thinking about it, I decided against making this needlessly long with too many options, my current personal opinion is that Makina should lose L1A immortality, so not going to bother using that as part of an argument for Nebula's tiering, however if people want to make the argument for L1-A, they can do so in the comments.

Option 1: 1-A​


This is the current accepted argument on the profile (ignoring Nebula being able to kill Makina despite her immortality), is essentially that Nebula is 1-A due to being absolutely superior to all beings and abilities

[…The Ultimate God… Nebula…]
Alice also muttered with a serious expression on her face at the gravely spoken words. Just from the fact that her name was spoken, the air around them seemed to grow heavier.

[Shallow Vernal is the strongest… Or rather, the results prove that she is clearly an outlier. But if Shallow Vernal were to be excluded, I think Nebula was definitely what you could call the strongest.]

[…From what you just said, it means that she has some kind of special ability, right?]

[Unnn. Nebula had the power “that encompassed everything”…To put it really simply, Nebula was “absolutely superior” compared to all abilities and all beings. When confronted, it was similar to confronting Nebula, with every being within her… For example, if the opponent was omniscient and omnipotent, encompassing their omniscience and omnipotence, Nebula would “always be a completely superior version of themselves”. All power was impenetrable to Nebula, and all power was encompassed within Nebula. If an Omniscient and Omnipotent being were to fight her, it would be easy for her to “encompass it within herself and deprive them of their omniscience and omnipotence”.]

[Ahh, I see… That is why she’s the Almightyslayer huh.]

Being always absolutely superior to all other beings and abilities… Hearing the ability that really is to be expected from what you would call the Absolute, Alice looked a little surprised, but she felt that having that kind of power, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to stand at the top of the Omniscient and Omnipotent beings.

[…Nebula was a God without a world of her own, but with her power, she had subdued literally as many World Creators as the stars in the sky and reigned at the top of many worlds. Well, I suppose you could say she’s literally the most powerful being.]-Chapter 938

Nebula has the power of encompass everything, being absolutely superior compared to all abilities and all beings. It is also stated that there is an insurmountable wall between Nebula and Tiana, who is currently accepted as being unquantifiable 1-B

<Afterword>


Strength Rankings (Limited to Quasi-Omnipotent and Above, as of the Current Story):


Shallow Vernal (Exception)


Nebula > > > An insurmountable wall > > > Bipolar God, ∇∮◆£ > > > > > Machine God, Makina > Vicissitude God, Canalis = Virtual God, Electrone > Underworld King, Kuromueina = Shallow Vernal (if Epilogue is not part of the equation) > Phantasmal King, Alice > Earth's God, Eden > God of Fate, Fate > > > > > Isis, who is gradually awakening to Authority-level power after accepting the magic power of death (※She's still not Quasi-Omnipotent).-Chapter 2190

And it was previously said that Nebula to be an outlier like Shiro (obviously Shiro is far stronger, but the idea really is that Nebula can't be compared to others, she isn't on that same scale)

[Ahh, I see…… That is why she’s the Almightyslayer huh.]



Being always absolutely superior to all other beings and abilities…… Hearing the ability that really is to be expected from what you would call the Absolute, Alice looked a little surprised, but she felt that having that kind of power, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to stand at the top of the Omniscient and Omnipotent beings.


[……Nebula was a God without a world of her own, but with her power, she had subdued literally as many World Creators as the stars in the sky and reigned at the top of many worlds. Well, I suppose you could say she’s literally the most powerful being.]


[……Ahh~~ sorry if I guessed it wrong. However, with the way you “describe everything in past tense”……]


[I told you, right? That “results prove” that Shallow Vernal is the strongest…… That’s right. Shallow Vernal had brought Nebula to her end. In fact, it was because the Absolute Nebula couldn’t do anything about her that Shallow Vernal was feared by many World Creators.]


[……I see, good grief, there really is always someone better than you.]


[As expected though, comparing oneself to the outliers Shallow Vernal and Nebula is out of the question. They’re a little too much on a different level than the rest. Well, I suppose that answers Alice’s question?]-Chapter 938

Nebula is constantly stated to be absolute, ie down below when she was first introduced

[Unnn. A battle between two Omniscient and Omnipotent beings would basically just be a battle of endurance. They fight for a certain amount of time, and then, they’d make a contract with each other and call a truce. I’m stronger than Omniscient and Omnipotent beings, so I can beat most of them if we fight…… But even if that’s so, I really don’t want to fight because it would take an inordinate amount of time. On the other hand, those who have the power to quickly settle the battles, which would normally take an enormous amount of time, are clearly superior to the rest.]


[Fumu.]


Hearing Makina’s words, what came to Alice’s mind was the Shallow Vernal’s Epilogue.



On the contrary, unless one has such a clear and unusual power, it’s hard to say who is stronger among the World Creators.


Thereupon, Makina turned serious and calmly spoke.


[……Based on that premise, there are only “two people” I can say with certainty that “I would never be able to win in a fight”…… You know one of them already, right? Yes, it’s Shallow Vernal.]


[And the other one is?]


[……The Absolute, who once ruled over many multiple worlds and was the only one among the World Creators to be given the name “Ultimate”…… “The Ultimate God, Nebula”. She was also known as the “Almightyslayer Nebula”.]-Chapter 938

In fact, any time she is stated to be able to do anything, she says it's because she is absolute, it would be troublesome to list all these instances, a lot of it is under her abilities, what I want to focus on is this statement specifically

【Rough Criteria】


G…… Trashy


F…… A little useless


E…… On the level of ordinary person


D…… Slightly good


C…… Considerably good


B…… Professional level


A…… Genius


S…… On the level that will leave your name in history



SS…… Cheat


SSS…… Restrain yourself, idiot

【Lilia】


Cooking: G


Packaging: S


Calculation: SS


【Nebula】


Cooking: Absolute


Packaging: Absolute


Calculation: Absolute


Service: Absolute-Chapter 1299

When ranking Nebula on a scale where A is Genius and S leaves your name in history, Lilia who is an extraordinary genius is SS, Nebula in these areas such as calculation is ranked Absolute, this is after being nerfed, so there are some conclusions for this, despite Nebula's power to encompass everything being restricted, this doesn't nerf her in other respects, which means its not only in power that she is absolute, but even stuff like intelligence. Even in this area, she isn't on the scale, so Nebula's nature really is to be fundamentally absolute, beyond the scale, in comparison to everything.

Option 2: Low 1-A​


I could see an argument for 1-A, which is why I laid out the evidence, but again like Makina's immortality, I find myself leading towards another rating, in this case L1-A.

For all the arguments I already laid out, that Nebula is an outlier that isn't comparable to anyone else, there exists an insurmountable wall between her and everyone else, and that she encompasses everything etc.

For me what makes 1-A more unlikely is the statement that facing Nebula is like facing all the beings within her, if you face her, she becomes a superior version of you. Essentially her power is basically the sum of everything, which being the sum of everything, would disqualify it and Nebula from being 1-A, as this is quantitative.

But this is my opinion, willing to hear what others think on the topic.


Shiro's Tiering​


Downgrade to 1-A​


We currently list Shiro as High 1-A because The Epilogue is an exception, which can't be compared to others

~ ~ Meeting Members ~ ~


Shallow Vernal (Omnipotent Exception)


Kuromueina (Recently reached Omnipotent-level)


Alice (Quasi-Omnipotent, a step short from Omnipotent-level due to training with Makina)


Fate (Quasi-Omnipotent)


Makina (Top-Tier among Omniscient and Omnipotent beings)


Canalis (Omniscient and Omnipotent, but slightly weaker than Makina)


Nebula (Not participating)


Semi-Omnipotent < Omnipotent < Omniscient and Omnipotent < < < < Absolute


Epilogue : An Exception that can't be compared with others


Serious-senpai : [A massive stomachache has been prepared for Kaito!?]-Chapter 2086

The idea was that just like Nebula transcends the rest of the hierarchy due to her absolute nature, Shiro transcends Nebula being an outlier that's not in comparison. This argument hinges on Nebula being 1-A, so if that isn't the case, Shiro can't be High 1-A, but Shiro has one of the most blatant 1-A descriptions on the site, seeing everyone as characters within a story, watching yourself from outside the tv, and turning the power off etc.

If 1-A Nebula stands still might be iffy, because all we know is that The Epilogue is an exception which can't be compared to others, which could easily be accomplished by Shiro being a r>f above Nebula, instead of the vastly higher interpretation of her transcending the framework of 1-A entirely.

There are also statements about Shiro being essentially limitless in comparison to others which would include Nebula, but being 1 r>f can also accomplish this.

Atm ISAP has no hierarchy of 1-A beings, albeit this isn't necessary, but to skip the whole tier of 1-A would need a good deal of evidence, which I don't think justifies a solid High 1-A rating.

But yea, everything is up for discussion, so if someone wants to argue for it, I encourage that.

TLDR​


My current ratings would probably be:

Shiro​


1-A Epilogue - Seeing everything as fictional

Nebula​


Low 1-A - Encompassing and being absolutely superior to all beings


Makina​


BDE type 1 for her core - Being outside of any dimensional hierarchy


This is all up for debate.

For now I think I'll address this part. This part comes from this quote:
[Unnn. Nebula had the power “that encompassed everything”…… To put it really simply, Nebula was “absolutely superior” compared to all abilities and all beings. When confronted, it was similar to confronting Nebula, with every being within her…… For example, if the opponent was omniscient and omnipotent, encompassing their omniscience and omnipotence, Nebula would “always be a completely superior version of themselves”. All power was impenetrable to Nebula, and all power was encompassed within Nebula. If an Omniscient and Omnipotent being were to fight her, it would be easy for her to “encompass it within herself and deprive them of their omniscience and omnipotence”.] -chapter 938
One part, which is rather important, is a mistranslation, and I'll highlight what it really says.
「うん。ネピュラの持つ力は『全てを内包する』っていう力……本当にザックリ言っちゃうと、ネピュラはあらゆる力、あらゆる存在に対して『絶対的に上位』とでもいうべきかな? 対峙した時点であらゆる存在はネピュラの腹の中にいるも同然……例えば相手が全知全能なら、ネピュラは全知全能を内包した『常に完全なる上位互換』。あらゆる力はネピュラに通じず、ネピュラはあらゆる力を支配できる。全知全能の存在から、『全知全能を取り上げる』なんてことも簡単にできちゃうわけだね」

The moment you face her, it’s practically the same as already being inside Nebula’s belly...
This also has no bearing on Nebula's ability, Encompass, being a 1-A smurf hax, as it's self-sufficient and independent from all lower existences and abilities to be absolute. It requires no summation of others to reach its full potential, no such limitation is stated for it to dominate everything else. In other words, were Nebula to face off against an opponent without a single being encompassed within her, she'd still be absolute and win. There's also an argument that it doesn't add up power to its own from what it dominates, but buffs them to the same tier, though that's less important.

As such, Nebula's superiority does not rely on being quantitatively higher than her opponents as her ability is not a summation of everything it encompasses, and even losing everything she has encompassed wouldn't remove her absolute positional superiority.

Agree and following. I am in agreement with the final proposals



BDE Type 1 imo is more viable than BDE Type 2 as it is simply said to be "not belonging to any dimensional stratum", not necessarily being superior.



L1-A Nebula is also better than 1-A Nebula as its nature is of merely encompassing and she becomes significantly weaker when withdraw her encompassing. It quite literally gets its power from lower forms of existence, which do not qualify for 1A scaling in any capacity.



1-A Shallow Vernal > H1-A Shallow Vernal as she is the only one with proper R > F within the verse with only her plot manipulation hax also at 1-A.

I agree with your takes
 
「うん。ネピュラの持つ力は『全てを内包する』っていう力……本当にザックリ言っちゃうと、ネピュラはあらゆる力、あらゆる存在に対して『絶対的に上位』とでもいうべきかな? 対峙した時点であらゆる存在はネピュラの腹の中にいるも同然……例えば相手が全知全能なら、ネピュラは全知全能を内包した『常に完全なる上位互換』。あらゆる力はネピュラに通じず、ネピュラはあらゆる力を支配できる。全知全能の存在から、『全知全能を取り上げる』なんてことも簡単にできちゃうわけだね」

Interesting, we probably have to get this checked in the translation thread.

L1-A Nebula is also better than 1-A Nebula as its nature is of merely encompassing and she becomes significantly weaker when withdraw her encompassing. It quite literally gets its power from lower forms of existence, which do not qualify for 1A scaling in any capacity.
Idk if evidence exist for the bolded part, Current Nebula is restricted by Shiro's Epilogue, which is why she is significantly weaker, there is nothing that says she gets weaker when she withdraws her encompassing, I assume you're referring to when she cut her connection with the World Creators who followed her? I don't remember it being said she got weaker, just that she cut the connection because if she died, they would die too.

Which I suppose is the argument? That she is connected to those she encompasses, so her power comes from them?
 
L1-A Nebula is also better than 1-A Nebula as its nature is of merely encompassing and she becomes significantly weaker when withdraw her encompassing. It quite literally gets its power from lower forms of existence, which do not qualify for 1A scaling in any capacity.
From which texts does it say this? There is no language that implies Nebula gets weaker when she loses things she has encompassed before. Even when she faced Shiro alone with all beings removed from her encompass, she still had absolute superiority against her except for the outlier Epilogue. Encompass doesn't need lower forms of existence to assert dominance, it's independent of them.
ネピュラちゃん③

結果、本人にも分かっていたことだが、エピローグには抗えず『シャローヴァナルの全てを内包した存在として終わりを迎えた』

全能殺しとかって物騒な呼び名とは裏腹に、頭オカシイ奴が多い世界の創造主の中で、極めて真っ当な善神

いまもいろいろな世界の創造主に信仰されている

As a result, something even she was aware of, she could not resist the epilogue and met her end as "a being that encompassed all of Shallow Vernal."
Idk if evidence exist for the bolded part, Current Nebula is restricted by Shiro, there is nothing that says she gets weaker when she withdraws her encompassing, I assume you're referring to when she cut her current with the World Creators who follow her?

Which I suppose is the argument? That she is connected to those she encompasses, so her power comes from them?
Even within the context of her demise against Shiro, that can easily be explained with further context.
Shallow Vernal…… The phenomenon called Shallow Vernal appeared not in front of Nebula, but in the world created by a World Creator who followed her.

When Nebula learned that the inescapable end, which was already becoming widely known at that time, had appeared before someone under her command, she immediately took action.

She used her power to “teleport the World Creator to her side” and “let the original creator escape to another world”. Not only that, for even though she didn’t know if her actions held any meaning, she also let the people living in that world escape to another world under her control as much as possible.

Of course, many of her subordinates were opposed to this. In particular, the creator of that world where Shallow Vernal appeared desperately argued that there was no need for Nebula to risk her life for them.


However, Nebula brushed their objection away, and after sending the World Creator and all the creatures of that world to another world, she severed her connection with all the beings she’s encompassed with.

Heading towards her own end, in order to avoid affecting those she’s encompassed with……

And thus, she challenged the End alone in that empty world.

She knew that “even the Absolute her couldn’t resist the Epilogue”……
-chapter 943
Nebula's action of severing her connections with the beings she encompassed would be due to prudence instead of saying those links are anti-feats to her transcendence. There is no indication that maintaining the connections empowers her, neither is losing them weakens her. Against the Epilogue, so as to not trouble her subordinates because that's who she is, she fought against her alone to limit as many risks as possible, since she doesn't know Epilogue's full extent, just that she will lose regardless. And this is Epilogue, where its range varies from everything to a single phenomenon. If Shiro decided the target was "Nebula and everything she is encompassing" instead of "Nebula alone," she'd get everyone involved and be ended with her.
 
For now I think I'll address this part. This part comes from this quote:

This also has no bearing on Nebula's ability, Encompass, being a 1-A smurf hax, as it's self-sufficient and independent from all lower existences and abilities to be absolute. It requires no summation of others to reach its full potential, no such limitation is stated for it to dominate everything else.

As such, Nebula's superiority does not rely on being quantitatively higher than her opponents as her ability is not a summation of everything it encompasses, and even losing everything she has encompassed wouldn't remove her absolute positional superiority.

As far as I know, Nebula does have anti-feats for 1-A.

Nebula not only takes those abilities, but makes them utterly superior after encompassing them.

And also Nebula is stated to have an insurmountable wall of power over the rest of the abilities in the verse (except for Epilogue).

I also think you are assuming, from my PoV, that Nebula is 1A by nature because "outlier" and "insurmountable."

The problem is that this is used only for Encompass. Not Nebula.

Pre-death Nebula is featless, we only know she died from Epilogue and that she was the strongest God.

And that's it. That's the problem.

The other problem for Nebula is, again, she's implied to be terrifying because of Encompass.

There is nothing stating pre-death that Nebula herself already existed in a higher plane of power and just bumps everyone's abilities to 1A tier, this is also possible with L1A argument.

Encompass is, quite literally, the ultimate summation of everything in the verse barring Epilogue, which completely contradicts 1A scaling as 1A is supposed to operate on an entirely separate, wholly greater framework whereas Encompass is the ultimate summation of all lesser abilities, meaning it cannot be separated from the lower framework.

Finally, direct confirmation that Nebula's Encompass is directly connected to the lower hierarchy comes from chapter 943. Source.

Yet again, Nebula doesn't really have any evidence to be 1-A of herself, but it all is Encompass that make her truly terrifying, which can be L1-A maximum.

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is we don't know where Pre-death Nebula scales. In essence, her scaling before is quite, well...

Nebulous.

The issue is the assumption that Nebula is 1A already by nature pre-death, even without Encompass. If you do say Encompass is 1A smurf hax, then that means Nebula isn't 1A by herself since she needs it to get that high, which automatically debunks 1A Encompass since it needs the lower hierarchy. If you don't agree that Encompass is 1A smurf hax, then that requires Nebula to be 1A by herself. Which is hella, well... nebulous, and also really weird for Nebula to even need Encompass to become the "Absolute" if she's already 1A by nature.

Again, the arguments presented neither necessarily prove nor disprove anything. Which doesn't go or lead anywhere.

The moment you face her, it’s practically the same as already being inside Nebula’s belly...

As you stated, "this has no bearing on Nebula's ability". It's, again, far too nebulous to actually be anything concrete.

It could also be argued that Nebula retains the abilities of those she Encompassed pre-death, and hence remained absolute and didn't need the connection anymore, but that is still the summation of all lower forms.

And again, the author has highly implied multiple times that Nebula is scary because of Encompass, never the other way around, which is practically saying she needs the ability to scale that high.

This is not an anti-feat on its own. There are plenty of abilities in fiction where you can bring something from a lower fiction up to a higher reality.
And also Nebula is stated to have an insurmountable wall of power over the rest of the abilities in the verse (except for Epilogue).

I also think you are assuming, from my PoV, that Nebula is 1A by nature because "outlier" and "insurmountable."

Pre-death Nebula is featless, we only know she died from Epilogue and that she was the strongest God.

And that's it. That's the problem.
You don't need feats to be R > F so long as the text supports it. And any mention of outlier and insurmountable isn't limited to Encompass, it's Nebula herself too. The statements do not imply exclusivity to Encompass.
The other problem for Nebula is, again, she's implied to be terrifying because of Encompass.

There is nothing stating pre-death that Nebula herself already existed in a higher plane of power and just bumps everyone's abilities to 1A tier, this is also possible with L1A argument.

The presence of a "higher plane" is not an absolute necessity. You keep mischaracterizing Encompass in being "the summation of everything" which it is not. Encompass can "encompass everything," which is an important distinction. It's pure dominance and not summation. There is nothing to say it explicitly partakes in the lower framework.
Finally, direct confirmation that Nebula's Encompass is directly connected to the lower hierarchy comes from chapter 943. Source.

Yet again, Nebula doesn't really have any evidence to be 1-A of herself, but it all is Encompass that make her truly terrifying, which can be L1-A maximum.
Having connections to a lower hierarchy is not an anti-feat to 1-A or R > F so long as the nature of those connections doesn't oppose that transcendence. Encompass is not dependent on the lower hierarchy. Encompass can freely form and sever these connections. It's only a real anti-feat if either Nebula or Encompass depends on lower beings, they are weakened if those connections are severed, or lower beings can affect Nebula and Encompass, in which case no texts like that exists.
Thanks for the reply.

Encompass not only encompasses anything, it turns Nebula into an "always perfectly superior version" of her opponent. It's a smurf and state transformation. There's nothing nebulous to that.
Again, the arguments presented neither necessarily prove nor disprove anything. Which doesn't go or lead anywhere.

As you stated, "this has no bearing on Nebula's ability". It's, again, far too nebulous to actually be anything concrete.

It could also be argued that Nebula retains the abilities of those she Encompassed pre-death, and hence remained absolute and didn't need the connection anymore, but that is still the summation of all lower forms.
Summation of all lower forms wouldn't matter if those "summations" were ascended into the same tier as Nebula. Summation is wrong for structural reasoning. You keep trying to salvage this wording. It implies that what Nebula absorbs adds to her strength, and that adding more of it adds to the whole. Except Encompass is not addition, it's upgrading all facets of these and Nebula into "always perfectly superior versions" that replaces the original. That's a qualitative leap and not a quantitative one.

I dont know squat about anything above 1-A, much less high 1-A

So i'll just follow and look at the thread

either case, i dont really care for either outcome
 
This is not an anti-feat on its own. There are plenty of abilities in fiction where you can bring something from a lower fiction up to a higher reality.

You don't need feats to be R > F so long as the text supports it.

This is not even a valid debunk because all statements about Nebula and her encompass applies mostly to her pre-death nerf. The presence of a "higher plane" is also not an absolute necessity. You keep mischaracterizing Encompass in being "the summation of everything" which it is not. Encompass can "encompass everything," which is an important distinction. It's pure dominance and not summation. There is nothing to say it explicitly partakes in the lower framework.

Having connections to a lower hierarchy is not an anti-feat to 1-A or R > F so long as the nature of those connections doesn't oppose that transcendence. Encompass is not dependent on the lower hierarchy. Encompass can freely form and sever these connections. It's only a real anti-feat if either Nebula or Encompass depends on lower beings, they are weakened if those connections are severed, or lower beings can affect Nebula and Encompass, in which case no texts like that exists.

And there is nothing proving this is Qualitative? I'm pretty sure Medaka from Medaka Box has a very similar ability and nothing she copies becomes Qualitatively superior.

Again, you're assuming Nebula is 1A herself without the ability, when you've already stated that it's Encompass that has 1A smurf hax. The only way this would be possible is if both were 1A, but Nebula is never implied to be as strong without Encompass, and never expressed as such.

You can argue she can retain the abilities pre-death, but post-death this is not the case. This implies that turning off Encompass even pre-death means she needs to at the very least "store" the ability to be used and make superior, and we also don't know by "how much" this superiority those abilities earned are. Judging from the wording, "superior to anything in the dimensional hierarchy" aka everyone else can only qualify for L1A without further context.

Once again, this is all based on very iffy speculations surround her abilities, and what "insurmountable" and "outlier" mean exactly. Plus, you can very easily argue that she's "insurmountable" because the hax will always make her a better version of the opponent. Again, Medaka Box proves this is not a 1A ability. We don't know where Pre-Death Nebby scales, and to assume she is 1A and hence bumps everyone else to 1A requires a  lot more evidence than simply saying she is "insurmountable", the "absolute", or an "outlier".

In fact, Encompass existing in the same framework as everyone else (per the author's own words, being that it still exists in the Comparable Domain) also removes any complete and utterly absolute degree of separation that 1A is supposed to have. Again, there are a bunch of assumptions needed to assume she, by herself, is 1A and hence bumps everyone's abilities to her level.

Or... again, she can just "store"/"copy" the abilities pre-death, and hence doesn't need the connection anymore. This argument, again, relies on the fact Nebula herself is 1A and bumps everyone up. We literally only have a short snippet discussing her and it's so hard to extrapolate much without further elaboration by the author himself.

As you said, Encompass can freely form or sever these connections, but that doesn't imply utter separation, it could also mean she can simply store the unique abilities herself for later use without connecting to anyone or anything.
 
And there is nothing proving this is Qualitative? I'm pretty sure Medaka from Medaka Box has a very similar ability and nothing she copies becomes Qualitatively superior.
Other verses are irrelevant.

I didn't limit myself to say only Encompass is 1A, I very much implied the same for Nebula when she becomes an always superior version to her opponents. And both being 1A is valid when Encompass can ascend Nebula to that realm. This is not contradictory.

Post-death is irrelevant because she was externally nerfed by Epilogue. And post-death is not definitive on its limitation, that was Nebula speculating.
(……The question though is whether or not the power I have gained will still be mine after my all-encompassing power has been activated and the opponent has been dealt with. In the past, it would have remained mine. That is to say, if an Omnipotent being attacked, I could retain their Omnipotence within myself…… However, I don’t think she would be as foolish as not put a limit to that, but if that’s the case, as I had expected…… Mhmm?)
-chapter 942
Pre-death, Nebula kept the superior versions of the abilities she encompassed after dealing with her opponents.

Other verse mentions are irrelevant to this verse, so any mention of Medaka Box is worthless and whatever they do has no bearing on IaP. I only brought up other fictional abilities to prove that bringing a lower existence onto a higher reality is not an anti-feat.

Text for it being within the comparable domain? Other texts in the OP already shows that Nebula cannot be compared to everything else in the comparable realm, being beyond it and an outlier even to Makina's low 1A space.

At least you moved on from arguing that Nebula gets weakened when these connections are severed. Even if she does retain these abilities for later, they are expressed through her superior state. This is still not additive scaling.

After some thinking, everything that needed to be said has been exhausted, so I'm leaving it to staff for now.

I'm gonna move on from the text that implies she can store things pre-death, I can agree with that.

... That's kinda weird? I only used Medaka as an example of a fellow "yoink your everything and make it better than you will ever use it" ability. Hence, I'm also bringing up other fictional abilities to prove that bringing a lower existence onto a higher degree of power is neither an anti-feat, nor a feat.

It'd be hypocritical if I can't do something similar, but whatever. It's not my point nor the point of the debunk.

> Text for it being within the comparable domain? Other texts in the OP already shows that Nebula cannot be compared to everything else in the comparable realm, being beyond it and an outlier.

<Afterword>


Strength Rankings (Limited to Quasi-Omnipotent and Above, as of the Current Story):


Shallow Vernal (Exception)


Nebula > > > An insurmountable wall > > > Bipolar God, ∇∮◆£ > > > > > Machine God, Makina > Vicissitude God, Canalis = Virtual God, Electrone > Underworld King, Kuromueina = Shallow Vernal (if Epilogue is not part of the equation) > Phantasmal King, Alice > Earth's God, Eden > God of Fate, Fate > > > > > Isis, who is gradually awakening to Authority-level power after accepting the magic power of death (※She's still not Quasi-Omnipotent).-Chapter 2190

It's right there. Notice how despite being an outlier, she isn't an absolute true exception like Vernal? Sure, she has an "insurmountable wall", but this doesn't take into account that the hax just makes her stronger than the opponent by default after Encompassing them and hence becoming a superior version of them. Therefore, such an ability can be considered "insurmountable" because it literally just copies, pastes, and then improves upon the opponent. We don't have a clarification on how much, nor if it means she becomes completely unaffected if the person still tried to fight back.

And again, an L1A will still have an absolute gigantic, practically unbelievably enormous gap that can be considered "insurmountable" compared to literally everyone else in the verse (except for S̶a̶t̶o̶r̶u̶ ̶G̶o̶j̶o̶ Shallow Vernal) because no one else simply scales that high due to being in a dimensional hierarchy? Which I am  fine with her being superior to it, but not Qualitatively. Nothing implies such, and if anything, she's been shown to operate as the  top of said hierarchy due to her superiority over everyone else and is hence the outlier.

Not to mention the verse doesn't even have infinite dimensions confirmed, and a being with infinite dimensional power is obviously gonna be vastly superior to everyone else (and Titania only has an "uncountable" number of dimensionalities to her name, not infinite)

I didn't limit myself to say only Encompass is 1A, I very much implied the same for Nebula when she becomes an always superior version to her opponents. And both being 1A is valid when Encompass can ascend Nebula to that realm. This is not contradictory

Which, again, nothing to prove. You haven't provided a reason as to why Encompass is 1A, you just state that it is because it's an "outlier"/"exception"/"being beyond it". And as I stated above, she's still in the same domain. The "insurmountable wall" in question is very nebulous as an argument, as we don't even know what said "insurmountable wall" scales to.

Infinite dimensions, which no one else has achieved and is probably actually impossible without something like Encompass? Quantitatively superior to infinite dimensions? Qualitatively superior to dimensions? With everything else presented, it's weird and far, faaar too vague to be used.

I don't want 1A Nebula, but I also don't want H1B Nebula anyways, I think she's very comfortably L1A and think that such a downgrade is too much, so I'm giving her the benefit of a doubt and letting her be superior to the dimensional hierarchy as a whole which is simply L1A given the anti-feats and statements I provided.

So the time has come...
 
Thinking about it, I believe I also agree with BDE 1. If the space were more clearly defined in a way that reaching or existing in it meant being on a level where one’s power and existence transcend all dimensional layers, it would have been solid Low 1-A.

Agree with Low 1-A for Nebula, since it is stated that the source of her superiority over everything comes from encompassing everything, rather than from otherness itself or belonging to a different hierarchy and agree with 1-A Epilogue.

Following thread and ngl
All the arguments for L1A nebula and encompass make sense
I read through the parts but from what I'm seeing, there's nothing that mentions how it should be 1A
And I feel like only shallow vernal should have that via the epilogue and no one should scale to her. And we know what post Nebula looked like, why do we scale her fully without knowing how she looked at in her pre death state or whatever?
And don't you have to be qualitatively superior or have R>F? I don't see how the encompass having either ngl and L1A would make the most sense,
BDE 1 is buyable also > so agree we that and L1A, nothing else should be 1A as no one should have the capabilities to fully scale to vernal or the epilogue
