(MOD needed) Jinwoo major ability additions

So essentially, normal Existence Erasure of Mind, Body, and Soul, and even layered erasure, erasing their non-existence, wouldn't be able to kill them, but it would still be Mid-Godly.
Thanks. That's good enough for me.

I am guessing it is fine to just label it as "Higher-Degree of Mid-Godly" because of that added nuance. Standard forms of Mid-Godly negation would not be able to get through it.



I am going to wait for Phantom to clarify the Nonexistence stuff because I am not that far into Ragnarok and I am honestly confused by some of the cosmological stuff.
 
Pretty sure that's still your regular mid godly

Just because your real soul that exists somewhere else is also destroyed and you can somehow come back doesn't mean you would adquiere some higher level of mid godly.

You would need some form of layered NEP interaction in order to bypass Jinwoo's Mid-Godly, which makes it quite a bit superior (Normal Mid-Godly negation and such does not go that far). That added nuance seems fine for a "higher-degree" description. There's like 2 layers of soul NEP attached to it. I already discussed as much with Spaceman off site and he seemed fine with that as well.

why exactly? Ashborn just brought himself back from a "non-existent" state to an "existing" state which is just textbook mid godly

Erasing the non-existing soul into even more non-existence doesn't make it some super mid godly or incapable of be negated by normal means for those who can negate such regeneration.

It mostly depends on case-to-case basis but the most common thing for mid-godly regen neg is just making you unable to regenerate, it doesn't need to interact with your super-duper non-existing state to achieve that

...you know what? I'll ask someone who knows more about this than me

Baseline Mid-Godly: Regenerate the soul, mind, and body.

Jinwoo Mid-Godly: Regenerate the soul, mind, and body + the true soul that remains even after his soul is destroyed.

Ashborn resurrected from the true soul being destroyed as well btw. Have already said this.

That 1 layer of NEP interaction you would need to actually cancel out Jinwoo's regeneration.

Spaceman has also said this above, and has agreed with labelling it as higher degree as a result. I don't see what's complicated about that tbh.

So eh, he regen from his true soul intact, or regen even when his true soul was erased?

The former is just your common Mid-Godly, the second is indeed higher degree of Mid-Godly
So when higher beings such as monarchs and rulers die their
Their mind,body ,soul and true soul all get erased

Idk if you guys aren't reading, but yes I've said this way up ago that Ashborn resurrected from his true soul being destroyed. Since a Monarch's existence is completely annihilated when they are killed. Spaceman has already agreed with that as well.


This is the reason that the Shadow Monarch is considered to be the only truly immortal being in the verse as well.

I didn't focus much on Regen part, but well, Higher degree of Mid-Godly is fine then

Why is it 1layer of nep?
 
i dont really get the explanation for why the NEP would be type 2 here

Nonexistent Physiology (Nature Type 2 [Aspect Type 1,2,3 & possibly type 5 {Concept Type 1/2} & history ] - The Shadow Monarch is one with the Darkness of the Abyss, the <World of Nothingness> where even one's <True Soul>, their Nonexistent Self is reduced to <Nothingness>, lacking and transcending the concept of Death, which in turns dwarfs the World Tree, the Omnipresent Principle sustaining all existence across all dimensions) getting hit by the world devourer leads to nothingness,being entirely erased to the point even the memory of your existence is erased

this just seems like it'd be higher Type 1 right? for type 2 you'd need to prove that its above both existence & not existence, according to the NEP page at least.

Type 2 (Baseline): The Shadow of the World Tree, a realm of "White Darkness", the opposite of the World Tree in its entirety, a state at the boundary of Nothingness where even the already 'Dead' Monarchs whose (True) Souls have been thoroughly reduced to 'Nothingness' can briefly exist/open their eyes. It is where one's <True Soul>, their Nonexistent Self, remains. It is also classified as a "Dream" that is also <Nothingness>.

i dont see how this is proves it either.

also on the regen part, the scan where ashborn died doesnt contain the part where he actually died, which is kinda the most important bit for the regen lol
here it is btw. you gotta source your scans aswell i know some of the world tree stuff comes from ch 230ish from SL ragnarok novel but idk where the other ones come from & trying to find everything when you dont know where they're from can be very time consuming. its not that hard to put the chapter where the scan came from you just attach it underneath the image in imgur, like i did for the ashborn scan for instance.
 
Phantom is so bad with scans and explaining. I told bro to wait for me but he insisted!
 
honestly im surprised this thread doesnt also include some form of abstract existence for jinwoo, given that the shadow monarch was stated multiple times to be death. ashborn himself said "i am death, i am eternal slumber".
 
Just for you @Sevil Natas

the things I don't mention are fine imo

Like I said before, this is just soul stuff going on, not death manip.


There is no death manip going on here either, people just couldn't handle all that power and died, it literally says in the second scan that humans are incapable of withstanding the rulers/monarchs powers as the hosts would simple crumble to dust. This is literally the reason why the whole "system" shit exist lmao, to slowly grant the host power so they don't ******* explode from all of it. This is a common trope in fiction, dragon ball super has it too with Moro absorbing an angel power and being unable to handle it to the point he had to merge with the planet to try and control the huge power he absorbed.

What's the context here because this is vague as all hell

This is only corruption

Pretty sure this is just a common weakness for necromancy as there is no body or soul to interact with there is nothing to bring back

This is kinda something. The first couple of scans are about the whole twisting causality thing that is way too vague for me.

The second one is the whole thing about the apostle of nightmares and his powers? why would this scale to sung? also who is the one being torn to pieces? the nightmare apostle? suho? the shadow monarch?

For the last scans, the ones about the apostle of evolution, he wants to become something like the shadow monarch and in this context is about being able to kill god, instead he accomplishes his own version of a shadow soldier which we know need some EE to be killed and afaik neither Suho nor Beru can do that so it makes sense why hitting the mist doesn't give them much result as, that's why the text explicitly says no matter how many times they defeat or kill him hell just come back to life... like a shadow soldier. This whole thing would need to go.

* we already talked about regen

Honestly this is way too many scans for way too little, irrelevant scans are added for flair too ig.

For starters, why is this considered nonexistent phys to begin with? Sung and his world are mostly described as "darkness", "shadows" and "death", not as "non-existent", "void", or "empty" or something like that. It's always darkness or shadows. Even when they mention the abyss it is an abyss of darkness/shadows.

Lacking/transcending the concept of death doesn't qualify either afaik, you need proof of Sung's very concept or concepts necessary for his existence, being gone and him still being there after that, why is the world devourer there too? did someone get actually erased by that and still "existed"?

Sevil told me there are actual scans for nonexistent phys but most of these aint them. Ya'll should fix this

not only nothing here even remotely hints at a type 1 concept but also the claim that "death" dwarfs the world tree is immediately contradicted in the last set of scans as the dragon monarch tells suho that only the roots of the world tree lie in the sea of the afterlife, the rest is all over the universe. Also, where does it say the concept of pain and death got destroyed? It just says the world of eternal rest LACKS those concepts which sounds like an inherent thing in said place and not an ability or something done by Sung.

Same thing as above. Type 2 at best.


I got too lazy to read the rest
 
I agree sleep disorder probably shouldn't have Death Manipulation, since it's a result of the soul leaving the body.
I don’t understand this argument 😭, the only way to go to the sea of afterlife is if you are already dead. Since it is the afterlife.(besides Suho because he contains both life and death in one body so can freely move between the world of life and the world of death)


Exposed to mana->die->travel to the afterlife.

It is just dying that causes you to go there. The only way for the soul to go there is if it already died

The whole point was that they are different applications , monarchs have excessive mana, large amounts of mana causes eternal slumber. If someone so much as touches that power they outright have their souls killed, souls exploding is a different application.and just another possibility if power is forced within the vessels
What's the context here because this is vague as all hell
Huh? It is literally just talking about how norma sellners abilities to see the future became useless (she lost it entirely) when a powerful being such as jinwoo descended. Can’t be more clear than that
The transmutation comes from the surroundings being twisted, there is also this scan showing farther details of the surroundings
Pretty sure this is just a common weakness for necromancy as there is no body or soul to interact with there is nothing to bring back
It causes resistance to jinwoos necromancy

Resistance because their souls can't be accessed by Jinwoo's necromancy, since their souls are reduced to a state that is more nonexistent than nothingness. Jinwoo is capable of bringing back people from nothingness, but not the Monarchs
This is kinda something. The first couple of scans are about the whole twisting causality thing that is way too vague for me.

The second one is the whole thing about the apostle of nightmares and his powers? why would this scale to sung? also who is the one being torn to pieces? the nightmare apostle? suho? the shadow monarch?
Nightmare apostle
For the last scans, the ones about the apostle of evolution, he wants to become something like the shadow monarch and in this context is about being able to kill god,
Not really, the shadow monarch isn’t even the one who killed god so he has no reason to copy him if that was his actual goal, his goal was immortality, and so he copied the shadow monarch who was the strongest in the war,he was only able to copy the shadow soldiers, and not even fully
instead he accomplishes his own version of a shadow soldier which we know need some EE to be killed and afaik neither Suho nor Beru can do that so it makes sense why hitting the mist doesn't give them much result as, that's why the text explicitly says no matter how many times they defeat or kill him hell just come back to life... like a shadow soldier. This whole thing would need to go.
Suho directly states that he has no need for the power because he will get jinwoos power later (which can already control causality) this gives context on jinwoos control over causality. Also Suho killed him, Suho does have EE.
* we already talked about regen
Don’t recall,but imma try hgr based off of concepts soon.
Honestly this is way too many scans for way too little, irrelevant scans are added for flair too ig.

Even when they mention the abyss it is an abyss of darkness/shadows.
The explanation is in the voids section. The world tree which is nothingness itself is also darkness as it is a literal shadow,death is the deepest reaches of darkness,all characters are born from the world tree as either light or darkness, etc everything returns to darkness.otherwise known as true death & absolute nothingness
Lacking/transcending the concept of death doesn't qualify either afaik, you need proof of Sung's very concept or concepts necessary for his existence, being gone and him still being there after that, why is the world devourer there too? did someone get actually erased by that and still "existed"?
World devourer leads to nothingness, so whatever it erases literally goes to the sea where characters “still exist “ it is in fact compared to Antares as both are laws of destruction/annihilation (with Antares being even more fundamental destruction)
Sevil told me there are actual scans for nonexistent phys but most of these aint them. Ya'll should fix this
I talked to spaceman and he agrees with the layers ,just wants the reasoning to reflect the scans, so I will change the reasoning
not only nothing here even remotely hints at a type 1 concept but also the claim that "death" dwarfs the world tree is immediately contradicted in the last set of scans as the dragon monarch tells suho that only the roots of the world tree lie in the sea of the afterlife, the rest is all over the universe
The world tree is literally planted inside the sea of death, the tree is just large enough that it’s branches can cover the whole universe ,yet the world tree is so small it can’t be found even after an infinite amount of years. Even if you want to argue that the branches are taller than the roots and trunk of the world tree, it still wouldn’t be large enough that it allows the infinite amount of years to become a low amount of time,meaning the sea still DAWRFS it (and branches literally still exist in the sea of afterlife)

It is a type 1 concept because it exists beyond reality and is the fundamental principle that sustains existence , even if you argue that is type 2, the concept of death is still beyond the world tree
. Also, where does it say the concept of pain and death got destroyed? It just says the world of eternal rest LACKS those concepts which sounds like an inherent thing in said place and not an ability or something done by Sung.
Bro what 😭, said place is jinwoo himself, with jinwoo literally being able to destroy everything created and return it to nothingness.which logically includes the world tree as even death melts into it.
Same as above, concept governing all of existence while also not being apart of reality (the universe being destroyed won’t affect the world tree because it exists in the sea of death, while the world tree being destroyed would cause the whole universe to end. Should be type 1, death being beyond even that should be clearly type 1 concept

Not sure about the Death Manipulation for monarchs since it seems like a side-effect of their power destroying them, not directly inducing death.
Hmm, alright, though does this help? Or no,probably not.

Though since the sea of death is death itself, and touching it causes you to die , debuff death would be a literal affliction of the concept of death.and should be death manip right? Though it would be the nature of the sea instead of monarchs themselves and idk how to word that
 
The explanation is in the voids section. The world tree which is nothingness itself is also darkness as it is a literal shadow,death is the deepest reaches of darkness,all characters are born from the world tree as either light or darkness, etc everything returns to darkness.otherwise known as true death & absolute nothingness
can you please explain why the NEP is type 2 tho?
best case i can see here is if the world tree predates existence itself. which is mentioned in the NEP page as a way to get it.
 
I just have to say, scans are so ass 😭. I had help and they put some scans in the wrong places 💔. Imma have to redo them later. No wonder people are confused
 
So since type 1 concept is accepted by one mod

What do you guys think of this?


Abstract Existence (Concept [Type 1] - Monarch's are the primordial darkness itself. Born from gods will they Embody a Law that upholds the world, such as the Law of Destruction for Antares,the law of creation for the world tree which is the fundamental principle that sustains all existence , and the concept of death for Sung Jin Woo)




Resurrection (Higher-Degree of high-Godly conceptual & nonexistent)Can resurrect from death as a monarch,Normally, death results in the soul being reduced to nothingness as it goes to the Sea of Afterlife, returning to your <True Soul>. However, when a Monarch dies, their spiritual body, the essence of their existence embodying laws that uphold the world as well as their <true soul> is annihilated and returned to nothingness


Death Manipulation and Necromancy (His Aura of death can turn anyone exposed to it into a Shadow, an Undead Soldier)
 
this is fine for me. (scans could use a bit more work imo)
wasnt this agreed to be a higher form of mid-godly? tho i guess it makes sense if a monarch is a conceptual being in nature. however it should be noted that ashborn was not a monarch when he died & resurrected. he was a ruler. i think there's some argument for rulers having the same nature as monarchs considering they're just polar opposites with them being the light & all that.
the abilities themselves are fine but i think the "Aura of Death" bit is just for somebody unable to handle using the shadow monarch's abilities, i dont think it is an offsensive ability in and of itself

I don’t know what else would be needed that wouldn’t be like unnecessary information

It was agreed before the conceptual stuff. Imma call mods soon.

I mean giving people his power is literally how people were dying before the system was made.
So they are the same application. Just an application of his aura (mana) overwhelming people
 
I don’t know what else would be needed that wouldn’t be like unnecessary information
the referencing. you're gonna need to add this anyway later if it passes.

where? every post i read above talks about it being mid godly.

aight its fine then.
 
the referencing. you're gonna need to add this anyway later if it passes.
Yeah imma do that soon. Once it gets passed. (If they get rejected then I kinda wasted my time looking for all the chapters)
where? every post i read above talks about it being mid godly.
Every other thing about mid godly was only about the true soul. But here I am arguing abstract existence and conceptual erasure as well as the true soul. So it should get bumped up to higher degree of high godly instead of higher degree of mid godly
 
Because Jinwoo never showcases that ability nor is it ever shown to be a basic application of magic.
Doesnt really seem like you disagree hes able to do it with the system though

so shouldn't it be fine since the system being the shadow monarch power
Which is now jinwoo power after being one with ashborn?
 
Because Jinwoo never showcases that ability nor is it ever shown to be a basic application of magic.
The system literally showed that, so yeah, and he use said system.

Like how he crafted multiple different things to create a new one, so transmutation via the system should be fine.
 
I do not think we give transmutation to characters just because they can use their game/system mechanics to craft items.
 
Why nobody brought Spatial manipulation ? Space time manipulation ?

His Antares's tooth made daggers are literally capable of cutting dimensions in chapter 374 of Ragnarok novel when he fought 3 Itarims at the same time.
