This is a pure NLF, Monarch. You act like it will work on everyone because because it works on everyone in the Nasuverse.
I have acted like nothing of the sort. In fact, I have said exactly what lets it be countered.
A 4-A reality warper is more than enough to counter it.
If part of that reality warping is causality manipulation, sure.
You are assuming Causality Manipulation can only be beat by Resistance to it, that is also a NLF.
Is that not how hax works? You need to show either a resistance, or some way to counter the hax, like in this case, causality manipulation of your own. Or reality warping, assuming it has been shown to be reality warping capable of affecting causality. Otherwise it works on you. Literally what makes it hax.
The Authority argument only works in Verse. Look at the most powerful character under the Authority and put the break there. And the "conceptualized as a result of Earth" is Nasuverse cosmology. You are literally turning other characters into Nasuverse characters to apply it to them.
"Born of earth" is what it works against. And seeing as the only example of "born of earth" apart from the obvious literal definition is from Nasuvere, yes. We use the mechanics of the ability, of who it targets and can work against, as they are shown in the franchise.
This is basically the "Proof by Example" fallacy, no different than assuming that Saitama one-shots all 3D chars because he one-shot everyone in verse.
Bad example. Saitama only has strength. Of course we are not going to say it works against opponents who have shown themselves to be far stronger and more durable. BB's power on the other hand, is causality HAX. It working on stronger opponents, is what hax is!
