His astonishing prowess enables him to effortlessly hoist colossal weights, easily sunder even the most impervious of substances, and administer harm to entities renowned for their extraordinary resilience. This superlative strength eclipses that of illustrious figures like Astrid, while fervent speculation postulates that his might might even surpass that of the venerable Nam-Hur himself.
