I've never been entirely sure about this. Why are Primordial Force Manipulation and Absolute Destruction described as the final forms of Omnificence and Absolute Destruction? If these are correct, would it mean that Primordial Nothingness Manipulation could be considered the final form of Absolute Erasure?
Also, in your opinion, what actually are the primordial and apocalyptic forces? Why does control over the primordial force seem to grant control over everything?
What’s interesting to me about this power is that it essentially grants the user the ability to create. Due to the wielder being able to ‘destroy’ the concept of ‘nothingness’ thus creating something in the process.
What happens if someone uses Absolute Destruction on a being with Eternal Soul?
Which Absolute or Omnipotent powers are inherently terrifying or can easily be made to be as such?
What's the difference between Absolute Destruction and Erasure? Can AD do everything that AE can, like destroying the concept of death for yourself so that you're truly immortal?
How are the Apocalyptic and Primordial Forces the final forms of Absolute Destruction and Omnificence?
What would you do if you had Absolute Destruction, Absolute Immortality, and Omnificence? How powerful would you be? What could stop you? Feel free to go wild with your imagination! XD

Known as the “Final Form” of Absolute Destruction/Chaos. When this power is activated, catastrophic destruction and energy this will expunge everything from existence and when these energy waves wake, once stars, planets, galaxies, universes, even Space-Time itself is consigned to absolute oblivion.
Id say if your a pretty big Devil May Cry fan then this is the Overwhelming Absolute Power you could ever hope for.
https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Meta_Silence_ManipulationI still can't comprehend how stopping the fluctuation of forms can destroy them, could anyone clarify how can that happen?
Absolute Nothingness is the ultimate reality that underlies, encompasses, denies and destroys everything that exists. It is not a mere presence or affirmation of being, nor a mere absence or negation of being, but a negative and dynamic state of infinite potentiality, creativity, futility and emptiness. It is not a fluid and flexible process of constant change and transformation, nor a static and fixed entity, but a paradoxical and mysterious state that transcends any form or mode of existence. It is not a concrete and significant reality that manifests itself in various ways, nor an abstract and meaningless concept, but an ineffable and mysterious reality that negates and manifest itself in everything. It is the source, the goal, the obstacle, and the threat of all existence and non-existence, all truth and falsity, all certainty and doubt, all sign and meaning, all sound and silence, all number and quantity, all knowledge and cognition, all faith and spirituality, all morality and responsibility, all expression and communication, all beauty and harmony, all wisdom and enlightenment. It is the cause and the result, the origin and the end of all creation and destruction, all order and chaos, all harmony and conflict, all unity and diversity, all identity and difference, all presence and absence, all affirmation and negation. It is neither compatible nor opposed to anything or everything, neither different nor identical to anything or everything. It negates and transcends anything and everything. It cannot be fully known or understood by human cognition, nor can it be fully expressed or communicated by human language. It can only be partially experienced or realized by transcending the limitations of human senses and reason, human symbols and systems. It is paradoxical, ineffable, mysterious. It confirms and challenges us to question our assumptions and beliefs about reality and ourselves. It invites us to explore new possibilities and perspectives in the world. It inspires us to create our own meaning and values in life. It helps us to transcend our conflicts and limitations in ourselves. It is everything and nothing. It is everything in itself, but nothing in relation to itself. It is everything as such, but nothing as such. It is everything at all, but nothing at all.

By definiton absolute powers are power doesn't have any limit on it's field.
Is having of powers like absolute destruction, omnificence, absolute erasure and Absolute_Death_Manipulation are qualified as selective omnipotence?
Out of curiosity, which destructive power would you use for this song?
My question is, doesn’t the Absolute Erasure aspect of it in applications cancel out the restoration, by proxy? Absolute Erasure by nature erases it (subject/object) beyond restoration and it brings into question the reliability of such a thing.
Unless that is, if they are erasing what the thing used to be from existence (or totality itself, if that’s the case), and creating an identical copy of said thing under their dominion?
The nature of the ability is essentially an debate between Absolute Erasure/ Absolute Restoration / Absolute Creation. I could see if it was simply Absolute Destruction / Absolute Restoration, as I view AD as a step down from AE. Please, tell me your views on this…

Here's another day to "Sharing my OCs" series!
---------------------------------------------
Comment, give an opinion, a recommendation, a question, etc!
Please, don't steal my OCs.
As in sometime I always edit or change something, this kind of posts may be outdated in some days.
---------------------------------------------
Today's character(s) is Destructos.
---------------------------------------------
"Hear that, mortal: destruction is just part of the creation as creation is part of destruction. It's a natural event, occurs all the time and anywhere you go. Why do you fear it so much, if it is something so common? So basic? So essential? Something that it is me?"
Destructos, is a cosmic entity, embodiment of destruction and nonexistence, who serves as a minor, yet pivotal, character of Cronikus.
Name: Destructos
Alias: God of Destruction; the Omega; the Void
Gender: Agender (refered as Male)
Species: Abstract
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Age: Inapplicable
Birthday: Inapplicable
Height: Any height he wants
Weight: Any weight he wants
Birthplace: Inapplicable
Occupation: Embodiment of Destruction and Darkness; Essential Existential Force
Affilitation: The Author (superior); the Abstracts (partners)
Family: The Abstracts (siblings)
Base of Operation: The Void of the Intercosmos, Hyperverse
Power-Level: Variable, up to 1-A | High 1-A, possibly 0 (Primordial Destruction - True Form)
Appearance
Destructos' main avatar is a masculine, muscular and defined entity. His entire skin is dark gray (almost black), his eyes are completely white, his teeth are extremely sharp and he wears a kind of a silver medieval armor with a dark red half-cape. By being an Abstract, he can fully have any type of manifestation he wants, but the one described is his main one.
As the Destructos: Primordial Destruction, he is completely formless, being an undescribable being made of pure and conceptual destruction that resembles a black mist.
Personality
Destructos is an entity that is wrongly told to be "an enemy to the multiverse itself", who legends says that he is the "Omega of All Realities", the one who will bring everything into an end. But, actually, he doesn't do and/or did any of those things, saying that he is only an aspect of existence, not its nemesis.
He is a very calm, truly neutral being, who is in charge of being the embodiment and the abstract existence of the concept of destruction itself. And actually, he is not necessary a villain, since he, like all abstract entities, is neutral, but can do some things in particular that is moral or not (as Chaos, his brother, is way more malefic than him).
Destructos also has trusting problems, as he didn't trusted the Celestial Dragon when the same was temporally an Abstract (but for the sake of potential betrayal, not by malice/hostility). However, he is also kinda temperamental and is seemly irritated with something all the times.
Powers and Abilities
Transcendent Cosmic Entity Physiology: Destructos is a cosmic and abstract entity. A being of unfathomable power that surpass the strongest humans, aliens, extra-dimensional beings and even cosmic entities. He is the embodiment of destruction and the end of things. Other than possessing destruction-related abilities, he has all the other powers common to cosmic entities, such as absolute physical characteristics, limitless cosmic/reality warping powers, etc.
Destruction Embodiment: As stated by his own name, existence and purpose, Destructos is the personification of destruction. He has complete and absolute power over destructive forces and powers, being able to cause total destruction whenever and wherever he desires. And, as an Abstract, his power is infinitely superior to every being in the infinite layers of existence, being only matched by other Abstracts and can be only surpassed by TAN users and The Author himself.
Absolute Destruction: Obviously, by both his name and very existence, Destructos can destroy everything and anything without limits, from concepts, boundaries and causation, to studies like metaphysics and science, even irrational "concepts" like the fabric of nothingness or even totality itself.
Destructive Energy Manipulation: He can control, absorb, generate and harness destructive energy.
Absolute Erasure: Besides the power to destroy things, he can also erase anything and everything from existence, which unlike conventional destruction powers, the erasure completely eliminates the targets from existence, including their soul, memories, essence, etc. The targets eliminated by this power are entirely forgot, since their existence was completely erased. This ability is even stronger than the likes of Shynugurath-Vhegga's, since Destructos is an Abstract and consequently a being of superior power. His power level, obviously, can potentially erase all of creation and the totality of existence/nonexistence.
Nothingness Manipulation: He was shown to be able to manipulate the concept of nothing as well, being able to use this power to erase entire realities, concepts, forces, and potentially even narratives.
Negation: Destructos can negate the effects and existence of something, whether it be power, a being, energy, element, etc.
Darkness Embodiment: He is also not only the embodiment of destruction, but also the whole darkness existent in the omniverse. He's the source of all the existence's darkness and shadows.
And all other common abilities to an Abstract, being them:
Absolute Condition, Conceptual Manipulation (Destructos possesses absolute control over the concept of destruction), Absolute Immortality (as an Absrtact, he cannot die, as he isn't limited to such basic concept), Plot Manipulation (an Abstract's nature isn't limited to reality itself, but to the entire narrative as a whole, as Destructos isn't necessarily an entity that represents destruction, but the destruction/end of a story), Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (as an Abstract, he can freely control higher-dimensional spaces as they were nothing), Higher-Dimensional Existence (obviously), Causality Manipulation (all of his actions haves impacts on existence), Subjective Reality, Reality Warping, Avatar Creation (he manifest himself in existence via avatars), Nonexistent Physiology (at his true forms, he isn't limited to existence and nonexistence altogether), Transduality (easily transcends any and all binary concepts), Omni-Physics Manipulation (being absolutely above all kinds of things, Abstracts can freely control and rewrite all the physics to an absolute level), and others.
Weaknesses
His avatars can still be defeated/destroyed (although it needs to be from someone who is really powerful).
None (at true form).
Quotes
"You are a terrible and fool creature, Shynugurath. Wanting to destroy everything just because of rejection? Emotion? Pathetic. Be prepared to be destroyed by the great darkness within me!"
"You think it's easy to kill someone like me? I'm an Abstract. As such, until existence itself wants, I'll always exist. No matter what."
Trivia
The character of Destructos were created by William (my real life friend, not the character).
And Destructos himself is inspired by the appearance of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and the status of Oblivion (both from Marvel Comics).
Originally, Destructos was created to be the overaching antagonist of the entire series, but his creator (my real life friend William) got tired of him, and now Shynugurath-Vhegga will take this role.
He has a great rivalry with his brother, Creatos, the embodiment of creation, for obvious reasons.
Originally, Destructos was at Pontrax's place, of being the master of heralds such as Neon and the Dramians. But, since I noticed (after the character's reformulation), that a abstract entity having heralds doesn't make sense, I created Pontrax to serve as their master.
Like other Abstracts, Destructos has 2 different manifestations; Avatars/Aspects/Physical Manifestations, where he can interact with the existence; and the Primordial Form, a form where the abstract is at truly infinite power and are the existential manifestation of the concept they represent. In the case of Destructos, his form is named the Primordial Destruction, being made of pure conceptual and infinite destruction, capable of bringing an end to the entire narrative and transfinite layers of realities as a whole.
