Dimensional Slicing

The ability to slice through dimensions, which allows one to in order to cut through anything. Technique of Dimension Shifting and Distortion, variation of Space-Time Slicing and Absolute Attack, advanced variation of Cutting.

Also Called

 * Anti-Dimensional Slash
 * Dimensional Blade/Cutter

Capabilities
The user utilizes Dimension Shifting to shift the "cutter/edge" from the originating third dimension to the fourth and back akin to a saw movement, and at the same time passing the blade through the target. The blade phases through the target while in a higher dimension, and then because no two things can exist in the same place at the same time in the same dimension, this causes the targeted object to be destroyed by the blade without any resistance; in short, the technique delays one's existence from the dimension to pass through and destroy physical objects.

At more advanced levels, user can project a tear in dimensions for long-distance attacks, which creates a wave that distorts the dimensional barriers. Anything caught in the tear will be bifurcated, and the "blade" cannot be blocked nor deflected by conventional means due to its nature. The sharpness of these dimensional energy blades are so sharp, that a simple glance can cause aggravating cuts.

In addition to the normal three and four dimensions of the space-time continuum, more advanced users can reach to the even higher dimensions of fifth and above, which are considered to be parallel worlds (or "multiverses") and alternate planes of existences. This can potentially create tears in dimensional barriers that act as a link to other worlds.

Universal Differences
The main difference between this power and Spatial Slicing is their style of execution and method of inflicting damage. While Spatial Slicing is removing or displacing a sliver of space and the matter occupying in it, Dimensional Slicing is to shift through the third and fourth dimensions back and forth while physically passing the cutter through the target to destroy matter. Higher-level Dimensional Slicing allows the user to affect the dimensional walls, creating inter-dimensional rifts.

The difference with Space-Time Slicing is that Dimensional Slicing (at rudimentary levels) requires the user to transfer the attack through and back between different dimensions, which can be blocked by inter-dimensional based defenses, while Space-Time Slicing tears the continuum apart to inflict damage without the necessity of moving out of dimensions. Since the dimensions being sliced are usually restricted to the timeline of usage, the user cannot reach to alternate periods of time as Space-Time Slicing can, and henceforth cannot permanently kill those of Omnipresence. Also, while the rifts left behind in the space-time tear are usually deadly voids, dimensional ones are more of portals leading to other dimensions.
