Capabilities
User can cause absolute death to absolutely anyone or anything without any exception, including immortal and even "Nigh-truly Unkillable" beings and possibly even Death itself. Since the death would be unavoidable and permanent, killing literally anything in existence they desire, whether it be a person, an object, a god, the user is not impeded by any defense or obstacle when it comes to killing their enemy. Anything that was killed through the use of this power can not be resurrected via normal means.
This also includes things in the more conceptual and intangible nature such as boundaries, the future, or time. Removing these types of factors can lead to a variety of consequences. Both beneficial and detrimental in nature. In spite of the flaws and many ways this ability can go wrong, the user has what is essentially the best tool for anything they wish to permanently erase.
