Being short and straightforward - Devil May Cry was recently upgraded to 3-A based off of Argosax's feat of fusing the universe with the Demon World, but I believe I have found some evidence to suggest that spacetime was being affected and distorted as well, which could potentially upgrade the God-Tiers to "3-A, possibly Low 2-C" (no at least)
So, ´Dante's Mission 14. This is the mission where we actually see Argosax's distortions happen on-screen, with the sky turning red, clouds starting to spin extremely rapidly, the moon moving even faster and starting to eclipse the Sun out of nowhere, and the entire area being bent out of shape and completely rearranged by the distortions caused by the incoming Demon World.
The guidepost for this mission states the following:
Now, you might be thinking that this is extremely vague evidence. Indeed, by itself it is. Let me explain the context now.
What does this mean? This is a reference to the objective for the mission. Basically, due to the distortions, escaping the city or getting anywhere at all is completely impossible. It's literally completely warped. So you have to activate four orbs to activate a portal leading you out of the area.
You might be thinking: "if that's the case, then this is poetic language to refer to the fact that you're advancing on your quest, right?"
Not quite. Checking the guidebook lore entry on the Mission, we find:
So we already have confirmation that time is being distorted by the approaching Demon World, being both massively slowed and stopped altogether throughout. So this already helps put it in better context. But let's proceed:
Phantom, an enemy from the past, emerges. It is stated that the reason why he is back is because of a temporal paradox created by the "dark forces" (ie. the distortions), with the header outright mentioning a "gateway to the past." After going through the portal, Dante is led to Arius's palace, which is located on the same city, and said palace is also shown to be heavily distorted by the approaching Demon World.,
I feel that the above evidence all together implies that the fabric of time is itself being distorted by Argosax's powers, to the point where the future and the past are being fused together in certain areas (such as on the outskirts of the city), and overall being massively slowed and stopped by the distortions.
Therefore, I believe anyone on The Despair Embodied's level and up would be upgraded to "3-A, possibly Low 2-C". Overall this would affect:
This would also help with the Sealed Sparda scaling.

- Urizen/Vergil
- Dante
- Nero
This would also help with the Sealed Sparda scaling.
