Nonexistence

DYBAD
DYBAD • 7 June 2012 • User blog:DYBAD
"All memory of your existence will be wiped from reality. You will die, and no one will mourn."
― Magic the Gathering, Door to Nothingness
"All of existence, go away!"
― Future Zeno, Dragon Ball Super
"Yeah, but, what if after we die, that's it? We're just gone."
"So, just poof? Really? Poof and then, just super nothing?"
"Mmmh."
"Well, it's clean. I'll give you that."
― Bart Simpson and Clancy Wiggum (The Simpsons)

The ability to completely erase any kind of existence. Specialized variation of Omnipotence. Opposite to Meta-Existence.

Also Called

  • Absolute Erasure
  • Decreation
  • Final Nemesis
  • Meta Erasure Inducement

Capabilities

The user can annihilate completely anything and everything, including the totality itself without any protection nor exception of any kind .

There are two main categories of targets: concrete and abstract. Used on concrete targets, the power has an effect similar to Nothingness Manipulation, effectively annihilating objects and beings. When used on abstract targets however, the effect is more subtle and similar to Logic Manipulation, annihilating the corresponding targets and reorganizing reality accordingly. For example, erasing the concept of "door" would not only erase the door, but also replace it with a portion of the corresponding wall as if the door never existed.

User can notably determine the "thoroughness" of their erasure by targeting different levels of existence. For example, targeting the physical level alone allows the continuous existence of the soul and the creation/inhabiting of a new vessel, and targeting the spiritual level alone wipes out the soul while leaving the body untouched. In both cases, the recreation of soul and body is achievable by sufficiently advanced abilities, since the existential knowledge defining them (template) is still weaved into the essence of the cosmos. Targeting the conceptual level however erases this existential foundation, leaving no possibility of later restoration except indirectly via erasure of the erasure by targeting the substractive change itself. Similarly, the targeting can be limited to the present alone, preserving previous history, or include the past as well, exhaustively removing any trace and memory of its existence, like it never was at all.

Nature Of The Power

Nonexistence is a specialized variation of Omnipotence: it has the same unlimited/infinite/absolute power, but focuses all of it on the pure and simple annihilation of any target, instantly and completely, achieving ultimate invincibility through the implacable erasure of any form of opposition, and absolute specialization in the most effective form of offense / defense.

In short, Nonexistence represents the concept of real-life death : inescapable and irreversible, without the slightest hope.
