Honestly maybe I should have posted this on r/powerscaling but eh

I'm not sure if this will ever come up anywhere but just was thinking of a story and stuff and had this thought so I'm gonna try to explain what I had in mind through an example with placeholders(is it placeholders if it's just an idea rn?)

Let's say that there are three characters: the knight, the dragon, and Fantasy God(who is our tier 0)

For the sake of the argument lets say Fantasy God has all the qualifications that other Tier 0 characters have and stuff on their own

The dragon is the villain who through the story has this scheme to consume the world, or destroy it if it can't, the knight is the only one who can stop them

It's then revealed that the dragon is a manifestation/avatar of the Fantasy God, however this is much less "player and in-game player character" and much more "indirect", like it's more of an NPC with admin controls made from the computer than the actual computer talking, or I guess an example that fits more of what I had in mind is a character who uses magic or is connected to some source of power, but is not the source itself?

So the dragon is this ultra powerful monster because of it being a manifestation of the Fantasy God, however the knight can hurt it because it's THEN revealed that long ago the dragon was tricked into giving a piece of it's soul to a servant, who later on was reincarnated into the knight, and that half soul basically lets them "fight back" against the dragon because of their shared authority

The dragon's plan would be to get the soul half back to either get it's full power back and consume the world, or to summon the Fantasy God to basically destroy everything that exists yada yada, that's not the question ig

The question is, would the fact that the dragon getting it's half of it's power taken and stuff, and now needs to get it back like this, make the Fantasy God unqualified from Tier 0 because one of it's avatars lost, or would it be still Tier 0 because the avatar is not really the Fantasy God and all?

And if it would be disqualified, well, how would you make it so that it can without changing the structure of this "plot" too much(aka, the dragon should be connected to the Fantasy God, the dragon should be evil, and the knight should have someway to fight back, be it though something like the soul split thing, or something else)

Also keep in mind this is definitely not the plot itself, this isn't for you to criticize it or anything this is just to see some Powerscaling stuff, which is why I'm using placeholder stuff💀

Also for those who don't know Tier 0 just treat it as Omnipotence

Step 1. Have a series(obviously)

Step 2. Scale it into like, multiversal at most or something like that

Step 3. Have somekind of official guidebook, wiki, lore, etc

Step 4. Have it be revealed in that guidebook that actually, universes are [insert big ass number of cosmology layers so lets say High Outerversal], and that every character before that scaled to universal/multiversal is actually scaling to that cosmology somehow idk

Would the character scale into High Outerversal even if all that content is in extended canon? Or would it be just Multiversal or universal because that's what's shown in the main canon?

Btw, what I mean is that this lore that makes the story high whateversal is only in the guidebook and stuff
