That isn't really saying gods don't have emotions, just that said emotions are useless because gods are only meant to fulfill order. The text also seems to attribute gods not having fear to them not being alive, which seems more like they have no fear of death (since they can't die) rather than being absent of fear entirely.

@Dereck03 Could you possibly answer this question, since it's very pertinent for my analysis of this verse's CM rating.
- 11,410
- 20,077
"So, does that mean we have no emotions?"
"Immortals beings like us don't need them
They are useless for them, therefore they have no emotions.
Don't twist the text, they make it clear that they lack any kind of emotion whether it be fear, pride, sadness, kindness, etc. Then they make it clear that they are not even alive and they are immortal, don't put together the lack of all that emotion and attribute to them that they are only absent of fear of death, because clearly they said any kind of emotions aren't necessary for them, it is clearly shown in the scan of Anos making Nosgalia feel fear despite not having any emotions.

What the **** does "don't them" mean? That feels like it's a typo, so can you ask for a correction?
Not how that works. Just because something is useless to you doesn't mean you can't have it.
"I give you wisdom to you whose are not enlightened yet. We are nothing. We have no anger, no sorrow. God is immortal and therefore we are not even alive. Therefore, we have no fear, but only continue to be the reason of this world." This is clearly saying that gods not being alive is the cause of them not having fear.
- 11,410
- 20,077
Fixed.
"Immortals beings like us doesn't need them, they are only given to mortals in order to survive"
They clearly state that they do not have it.
They are immortal and are not alive therefore they do not have the emotions that a mortal has, they were simply discarded and you ignore all the previous context where it is emphasized that they simply do not have emotions?
As they say, a being without emotions cannot feel anything. Whether he is immortal or not, even more proof is that Nosgalia never felt fear of Anos when he could destroy his source (and when he did) and thus destroy the world, he never felt fear of venuzdonoa that Nosgalia said could kill him permanently, because they had no emotions and only when Anos decided to instill fear then was where this feat was demonstrated.
Anyway not debating this anymore and i'll wait for @Deagonx's evaluation.

Based on the context it’s just them lacking fear
So it is worth nothing other then fear manipulation (that works on being without fear naturally)
I can list examples of similar stuff and it doesn’t really change anything in terms of the potency of it
- 11,410

Kek... You leave me a little screwed, as far as I remember Misha was only part of Sasha that would disappear after 15 years, practically the 2 were the same individual born from a single source. So if you were to destroy Sasha's source, Misha would die. It is worth noting that despite sharing the same source, the two individuals were completely different. Having different characteristics, emotions, feelings, etc.
This is only what I remember, @Tatsumi504 could clarify better or correct me if i'm wrong in something.

Right, so gods don't need emotions. Which is what I've been saying the entire time, and is different than them just not having it.
Why would being immortal completely strip you of fear and emotions?
Do you have scans of this?
- 11,410
- 20,077
They do not need them and they clearly say that emotions are something useless for them (and it does not refer only to fear but to all kind of emotions) and emotions are something that are given to mortals not to gods.
The anime itself explains it, but in a limited way in chapter 4 iirc.... And I'm not the best person to ask for scans since I only read novels in Spanish and not in English. Tatsumi should be able to give scans.

The changes look fine, especially the attack reflection resistance and the type 2 info hax stuff, those never made much sense to me.
- 11,410
- 20,077
I bet you didn't even read the counterargument made by Deagonx on Info 2 in which we agreed and neither the one about Resistance Negation which seems to be no problem to keep it. And besides if you agree, in the case of Mid-Godly, what do you agree with? Keep it as regeneration or turn it into immortality and resurrection?

As much as I also want Glass to elaborate on that, let's not turn this into a thread where MG supporters harass him for 5 pages, mmkay?

Something being useless to you doesn't mean you don't have it.
Well, let's wait for the scans then.
- 11,410

Another one I would like you to elaborate on would be planck on the MGR issue, and the new Info 2 and Resistance negation arguments but even though they are called out they never come back to clarify.
- 11,410
- 20,077
Bruh, you are clearly ignoring the full context now where it is said that the gods "Have no emotions and even say so many times", "are useless to them" and that emotions "Are only given to mortals not gods".
- 20,105
- 10,899
@Dereck03 You mean the part that hardly sounds much different than type 1 information manipulation? Yeah I’ve seen it and I’m not sold on that argument. Also he literally said he’s not sure about the resistance negation, plus is there any elaboration on how he bypassed Jerga’s resistance or not? If not we don’t assume resistance negation, at best that’s just layered hax. In regards to the mid godly it just sounds like resurrection to me.
- 5,415
- 6,222
Seems extremely blatant too. Just feels like stonewalling at this point.
"Are only given to mortals not gods" 100% implies that they literally do not have emotions.
- 11,410
- 20,077
He said he agreed and although he wasn't completely sure but was acceptable and then I clarified that exactly negating the resistance of something that makes you immune to X power and having that power affect you is textbook Resistance negation.
Heck, even fujiwara counted his vote as disagreeing with removing it.
So immortality 8 (Due to reliying on source) and resurrection (Resurrection stuffs in term of regeneration would be MGR in case you don't know).
Well, fair.
And what about the fear stuffs?
Exactly, lol.

In regards to sources only granting resurrection, what degree of regen would replace MGR?
- 663
- 551
- 7,904

Not elaboration, it just sort of alludes to the notion that the presence of Venuzdonoa has some sort of reality warping effect that can override certain logic/order.
This scan and this scan are the important ones. In the first, Jerga explains that the sword won't affect him because he is made of the same holy power as it. He's shocked when it hurts him anyways, and then it reveals that the casle Delsgade, which contains Venuzdonoa, was transported above their area. This is spoken about as a reveal that explains why the sword hurt him, and it reads "Venuzdonoa, the Abolisher of Reason, was eroding the order of this place." Then Jerga curses him for "coming for justice itself."
So, I agree that this doesn't constitute resistance negation, I am not sure what it is, maybe some type of law manipulation? That overwrites the basic fact that a holy sword can't hurt a holy being. The logic/order/reason of that fact was overridden by the sword. So we should maybe put that under law manip.
I agree it's better as resurrection than regen, but whether it's LG or MG is still pertinent as both abilities use the same scale. So I think MG res is fine.
Well, I am not sure if it's type 2, but I am certain that it isn't type 1. I'm honestly not sure the two "types" should be in the same category because they're really different, not like a lesser or higher form of each other.
Type 1 is manipulating knowledge, like making something unknowable, restricting the flow of information, etc.
Type 2 is manipulation information as a fundamental building block of reality. It can have really extreme applications but the page does explicitly say: For some it might just be the mechanism behind mundane magical abilities
From that perspective, the way that this ability is presented in the verse gives me a bit of friction. Like a "kinda, but also not entirely" but it's close enough that I think it's probably the most appropriate way to represent the ability.

Passive abilties for venuzdonoa eh...
Just to make sure that logic/reason in verse is far different from order in verse, is the most powerfull abilitie in verse that's not Cm, nor law manipulation but logic manipulation, but since we don't have that abilty here we list it under a very powerfull law manipulation.
What about fear manip stuffs deagon?

After reading the scans. I agree with your interpretation that the scan is fairly explicit that these beings do not have emotions. He seems surprised/initially dismissive of the experience as its happening to him, like he's in denial, and asks for an explanation. They said gods don't have emotions, and that emotions are given to mortals in order to survive.
I would agree that it constitutes fear manipulation.

Why i am not surprised with you. Can you show me where practically drawing formulas is information type 1? Crazy information type 1 is only limited to knowledge. Also here information manipulation is given to practical spells not to the things they are creating which is still valid for information manipulation type 2 because they are acting as building block of reality of whatever they creates. Do I need to copy paste the explanation from the information manipulation page so that you can understand the difference between both types.

@Dereck03 Immune is used a lot in fiction, that would need to be elaborated a bit more like Anos using a basic level holy magic that Jerga already resists only for him to get affected easily for it to be resistance negging.
Can you post the scans regarding the fear hax?
@Deagonx so just more Reason destroying stuff for Venuzdonoa, got it.
I mean controlling formulas sounds like controlling the knowledge itself as opposed to changing something that binds reality itself.

How TF controlling formula = controlling knowledge
.With formulas he is not changing knowledge. He is altering/creating things in the reality. Formula works as building block of reality for whatever they affect.

No, Evansmana which is a Holy weapon way too haxed to even kill Anos could not affect Jerga, after venuzdonoa destroyed that reason then Evansmana could be able to affect Jerga.

So there are 4 scans in the album linked for the info manip, but only the second one matters at all.
Can cut throw the magic blueprint/spell formula that allows it to function, which nullifies the spell. For me, given the way magic is so deeply embedded in the verse, being able to slice through the formula itself is close enough to "For some it might just be the mechanism behind mundane magical abilities" that I think we have at least something to work with.
It'd be stronger if we had some statement that more directly addresses the nature of magic in the world, though. If there is a strong rejection of this idea, I don't feel so strongly about it that its a hill I want to die on, but I think there's something to it, at least.

Well not entirely true, because by default they root is different (militia's root and aberneyu's root). But if it happen to different person, yes if the root destroyed he and his copy will get erased

Yes it is. So just leave it. Also i have another scans for getting CM type 1 for Anos. But it needs a seperate thread so just leave it.
