What Resistance Would This Be?

Before my eyes, my puncture wounds were already crawling with bluish-black void, threatening to consume my existence.

“Ugh…!”

I groaned again, then took a deep breath, and yelled. I barely managed to blow away the void, but a great deal of blood spurted from my fresh wounds.
This quote is coming from Void Manipulation, so would this be Existence Erasure from the Possible Uses?
 
Are we sure this isn't flowery language though? It could just be absorption.
I don't think it is flowery language. Subtilizer was described as a void and a black hole and is made out of some sort of "Amorphous Darkness" that he can control to his will and has a weapon called a Void Blade. Absorption is already written on his profile. Not sure if that helped, but I also have another quote if it can help:
As the blade impaled its back, the creature emitted a short screech and was immediately sucked in by the void. Data traveled through the sword to Gabriel’s right arm, which he moved behind his back, then he focused his thoughts.
 
This still just seems to be absorption though. It's not as though he's being erased based on what I can tell.
 
Can you absorb someone's existence tho?
 
To be honest the "consuming the existence" part sounds like verbose on erasing the existence hence appears as that bluish black void would erase the existence of a person ie existence erasure so resisting that would be resistance to existence erasure

How did you get that? If I absorb the totality of a thing, I have absorption. That's all, despite me having consumed its existence by definition.

If someone's existence is consumed not just their bodies that means it implies that not only their body but their existence is gone too.Since consuming a person doesn't mean their existence is consumed unless its consumption as in making them part of the void which absorbed them then your point makes sense

Anyways I changed my mind now,I now think its absorption+EE

And why would this be existence erasure? Absorbing your mind, body and soul means I've consumed your conventional existence. I haven't erased it anymore than physical absorption means I've used deconstruction on one's body.

Because your existence as in state of living is consumed and gone completely leaving nothing behind which should be a step above sub atomization ie existence erasure unless the person was consumed and made part of the void completely then it wouldn't be EE.Just consuming the person while person is still inside means that person's existence is still there and it isn't consumed.Consuming the existence as while not just combining the person into themselves means their existence was eaten and its gone hence its not there meaning it points towards EE if you are getting what I am saying.
 
That makes no sense. I dont have break down or do away with someone's existence if I consume it. They could still be in there and the statement "his existence is consumed" would be completely valid.

Again, that would be like claiming deconstruction if someone is stated to "consume their bodies". That's ridiculous and just a way to exaggerate flowery language.

If the existence is consumed that means its devoured and that its not there.If existence is still there then the statement of "existence being consumed" simply makes no sense since person is being consumed not their existence.

That example doesn't work since body being consumed while still remaining as it is makes logical sense but the existence being consumed while still being there doesn't make sense.Existence isn't some physical body which can be consumed yet it remains like how physical body would.If its flowery langauge then it has to be demonstrated as such,if its sucessfully proven as being flowery langauge then thats fine.
 
If I eat the totality of an object, I ate its existence. An object and its existence aren't exclusive things, I have no idea why this is so rampant.

So yeah, consuming a person does mean you consume their existence. I don't know why people seem to think that existence is something esoteric in comparison to an object.
 
Is there any context saying that the thing remains fine inside? Because if it get's dissipated that sounds like it could qualify for EE if not deconstruction?
 
If it as a whole dissipated to nothing then sure. But that requires context which we apparently do not have.
 
No idea, I'm just going off of what quotes they give me.

If you ate the totality of the object and its still there inside then you just consumed the object not its existence.Object as its own material form while existence refers to as state of living,so eating the object doesn't mean that its state of living is consumed,its not physical.

Consuming a person means you consumed the material structure of the person not the existence coorelated to the person itself unless person is dead hence the existence of said person vanishes.Existence is linked to object in sense of just their living state.
What's this from?
Its from Sword Art Online but as for context I am not sure,you have to ask the op about that.But yeah we can definitely wait for more context I guess

No, you consumed its existence as well. Its objective reality was absorbed as a whole.

You can ask other staff and members what they think of this feat if you feel so strongly about it. I vehemently disagree with anything beyond absorption.

I dont understand how consuming the physical body of a person(provided they aren't killed) is same as consuming the state of living ie existence of a being?The link of existence and being is only to the part of their living.

I dont feel so strongly about it right now.Just decided to converse with you since you decided to question my argument which in turn could help me make a more solid opinion on what the ability is.But as agreed,without context its hard to analyze
