u/Slight-Cut3148

I have been rereading the LN in english version, i just finished arc 8 and i have some questions about the source of destruction that Anos possess.

1. Graham said the following: "I know you won't perish anyway. The closer the core gets to destruction, the brighter it will shine. You will overcome destruction, just as I return to existence through non-existence."
   - What is Graham talking about perish here, i mean what method was he gonna kill Anos with, the scythe of disorder or something else ?
   - When Graham said overcome destuction, does he mean that anos source will suffer damage greatly and get a powerful from this like normal people or he meant Anos source, which hypthetically would be destroyed by him will somehow magically regenerate itself (is this considered high godly regeneration) and let Anos regenerate himself because as long as the source exist then he can always use ingall to regenerate the mind/soul/body.

2. Lets say the last point of the first question is true, Anos imply that "if the source of destruction were truly destroyed, only an infinitely increasing magical power would remain in its place." but doesn't this contradict the first point ?

-If Graham imply Anos source can regenerate itself and overcome destruction like how he has his own unique Nihility source that let him exist even when his source is destroyed then Anos himself imply that when source of desstruction is destroyed, it is destroyed forever, Anos died like how he got killed by Evansmana and only the residual magic power that infinitely increasing will remain.

So which one of these two are the real thing for the special ability of the source of destruction ?

1..How does Evansmana actually cut fate, or rather what fate they are cutting ? Because i see from some descriptions they just "cut fate". Are they cut fate randomly to benefit the user or the user can control what kind of fate they are cutting ? If they can control it then what's the point of the 4th secret when you have something like the 1st one where you fire countless slash that already cut fate on contact with the target ?

1.1 Also, how does the 0th secret works ? I know what it does but can it be used exclusively on LOD or it work best against LOD and still work on other people but have worse effect ?

2. Are all chaos the same thing ? I'm talking about the Red star that Duelniga control, Chaos galaxy and MECOD. I was thinking about a post that is named " Can duelniga resist MECOD or not". I thought since she control the law of chaos then sure why not.

2.1 Then it got derail into can Just emperor Aizel resist MECOD or not. Orignally, i was on the side that he did not tank MECOD because well, he didn't. But then i remember a detail, when he first appear, the wheel in his eyes spin and there are those giant cogwheel in the sky appear, they were passively absorbing the aboslute vortex and the chaos red star that Duelniga control (Picture 1). The cogwheel absorb the star, get its radience and have even more magical power (Picture 2) so it by itself is already inmune to the effect of the chaos stars and must have the same chaos energy after it absorb those stars, these cogwheel then turn into their energy into magical power and buff Just emperor Aizel (Picture 3). So lets assume the answer of the question 2 is correct and all type of chaos are the same thing. Can just emperor resist chaos in general (Also Venuzdonoa) because he got the same chaos energy from the star that his wheel absorbed ?

3. When they mention Aizel reaching abyss, what type of Abyss are they talking about here ? (picture 4)
4. Are all of the just emperor and the advance headless mechanical god share the same memories like a hive mind or just a mindset ? If the first one then do the new one get all of the powers and memories of the old one ?

Dagdala is a spell where the caster draws a magic circle on the enemy's shadow and steps on it, striking the enemy directly from the inside, damage the reciever's source with a shockwave. However, neither the enemy nor the caster can be directly injured within the spell's range, except when their shadow is damaged.

Noah's body does not have a shadow, mentioned by Anos in chap 15 Vol 11. Anos also said since "Noah" does not have a shadow. he gained a perk of becoming inmune to damage and knockback only during the duration when he steps on someone else shadow.

The part i do not understand is why did Anos mentioned this ? By definition when the caster use Dagdala, everything in the radius become inmuteable and they can only damage each others through their shadow. By definition, "Noah" should be invincible even when he does not step on someone's shadow because he has no shadow in the first place and they do not have any medium like shadow to hurt him, but he still takes damage and knockback when he does not step on someone's shadow.

This is obvious when Anos mentioned how "Noah" did not took any knockback while his foot is on top of Anos' shadow

"Despite catching the spell from practically point-blank range, he didn't even flinch. And that's despite it being much more powerful than before, thanks to our "Rayon.""

And when Anos' shadow is no longer being step on by "Noah" then he took full knockback like normal

"And just as my shadow retreated from his foot, the Usurper of the Two Laws swung Rayon around in his right hand and grabbed the fiery ball of destruction with both hands. The ball's force pushed him back, uprooting the earth in the process."

In the battle against Gigi, Anos removed his shadow with the help of Venuzdonoa and even compare this situation with how "Noah" used Dagdala.

"The Usurper of the Two Laws, controlled by Ronclus, had no shadow. In this case, the caster's body would only be immune to damage when they stepped on an enemy's shadow.

But it seems that even the Usurper of the Two Laws did not demonstrate the erasure of shadow during the Dagdala, as I just did with the help of the Law Breaker."

Am i misunderstanding or is having no shadow actually a weakness for this spell ? Because Anos worded it like while others are forcefully become invincible by this spell rule. "Noah" by having no shadow make it so he has to actively step on someone else shadow to get this effect, can someone clear this up for me ?

Also how tf did Anos come to the conclusion that someone who has no shadow can erase their own shadow ? Moreover, why does Noah deem having no shadow when anytime his spell is used it is always refer to as "the shadow of the Two law Usurper" ?

Sorry if i had already asked this before, i have dementia and i can't specifically found what post/comment that i was asking about it.

I remembered something vivid about how Anos talked about Sasha can use it in a short/huge (?) burst. When did she used it beside when she was Abernyu and did she keep it or she only has normal destruction/apocalypse/law breaking eyes ?

I want to improve my old post and maybe include things in the Asta vs Yuno fight.

There are a few things you should know before you read this post:

1. I will only use the manga as my source.
2. I will only use the strongest version of an abilities regardless if Asta can use the lesser versions or not.

I. Physiology:

- Asta is kinda short, he is only roughly or at best a bit taller than sister Lily, who is 5'3.

- He is really muscular though.

- Asta is a devil host, after his first contract with Liebe, his right arm pernamently turn into a devil's arm. This allows LIebe to directly channel Anti magic energy into Asta's body without the latter having to rely on the Anti magic in his swords.

- Asta is born magicless.

- So by default, people can't use magic sensory on him and that makes him practially invisible.

- Asta can also use the Anti magic swords with no draw backs because he has no mana to bed drained in the first place.

- Though this also means he can not access magic sensory, mana skin, mana zone, mana method, magic as a whole.

- Like what the situation of the Anti magic swords, since Asta has no magic, he can interact with beings who can absorb magic passively like Henry with no drawback.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

II. Anti magic:

- Anti magic is a form of supernatural energy that has the main ability to nullify magic as a whole. It comes from Liebe, a low ranking devil that reside in Asta's five leaf grimoire.

- Asta usually use Anti magic through a medium like his Anti magic swords, which can nullify magic with their edges.

- After Asta made the devil contract with Liebe, the devil had been coating him in Anti magic and give Asta passive magic resistance. Here, we can see Asta surfing demon slayer, not being affected by Lucifero's gravity magic while all the other captains stuck on the ground.

- Anti magic can negate the immortality of high ranking devils who can only be killed by arcane magic, saint stage magic, negative mana or the power of other devils.

- Anti magic can not be copied.

- Anti magic can slightly negate reinforcement magic to reduce the damage of the attack.

- Anti magic at its peak can completely nullify any magic that Asta touch or touch Asta's body. Even fully negating reinforcement magic.

- Anti magic can not only coexist with magic but it can be used to enhance magic.

- While Anti magic can negate magic, Asta has to physically be strong enough to endure the force behind a spell or else he will simply die. If Asta try to negate a spell that he can't endure then he will simply die while the only thing left is the sword.

- Asta also has to be relative or stronger than his opponent to nullify their magic. Asta can't cut Lucifero because the latter's magic reinforcement and durability is too much

III. Arsenals:

1. Grimoire

- Asta possess a five leaf griomire that store all of his Anti magic swords.

2. Anti magic swords

- All of them can be summoned by Asta calling their name or they can just appear by him thinking about them.

- They can be controlled telekinetically by both Asta and Liebe.

2.1. Demon slayer sword.

- This is Asta's biggest sword, he can use it to reflect incoming magical projectiles. He can also use it as a shield to mitigate the force of an attack and deflect it.

- Asta can release someone from mind manipulation spells by tapping their head with the crossguard.

- He can surf the sword to fly in his base form.

- Bull thrust: Asta hold up both the demon slayer and demon dweller with both of his hand, stick them together while being thrown toward the target, impaling any target ahead of himself.

- Black divider: By applying Anti magic into the demon slayer, he can make it larger. He can do it base form now. He can make it even bigger in black Asta. The edge of the sword is now sharp enough to cut through things.

2.2. Demon dweller sword

- This sword is often associated with the act of passively draining magic from anyone who touch or are impaled by it.

- This sword special ability is to absorb allies' magic, store it as energy and release it as an energy slash that contain that magic atribute. Noelle's version

- It can also imbue the magic slash with an outline of anti magic without disabling the magic itself. Gauche's version.

- Comrademons: After Asta's zetten training, he can control Anti magic much better and now he can imbue his allies with it. All the black bull members (except Yami and Noelle) new Anti magic forms. Instead of nullifying their magic, Asta's psuedo Anti magic intertwinning with the members' magic and amp them physically and magically.

- One horn bull thrust: Same as the normal bull thrust but he only uses demon dweller.

- Black slash: Instead of filling dweller with his allies' magic, Asta can fill it with his own Anti magic and send out black slash. These slashes can cut magic from a range and they hurt enemies with blunt force rather than cutting them.

2.3. Demon destroyer sword

- This sword is noted to be extremely sensitive to magic and is widely considered to be the Anti magic sword with the best ability.

- Causality break/Fate or Karmic release: It manifest as black Anti magic tendrils that latch onto the targets. It severs the cause and effect of magic. It can erase the effect and damage of magic like poison, immobilization, reincarnation magic, and power nullification.

- After his zetten training and improved Anti magic control, he can use the black Anti magic tendrils from demon destroyer to encase himself in a barrier that act like an Anti magic mana zone that erase all incoming magic.

2.4. Demon slasher katana

- There is nothing really special about this one because it used to just be a normal ass katana compare to the 3 others which originally comes from Licht's sword magic. The only upside it has in base is that it is the lightest so it pair best with zetten, Asta almost exclusively use zetten with it. Also after zetten training, Asta can use target selection in base without having to go DU to use it with the slasher.

3. Liebe

- After Asta made an equal devil contract with Liebe, the Anti magic devil appear as a cute familiar that sit on top of Asta's right shoulder, constantly coating themselves in Anti magic. He only disappear whenever they use DU.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

IV. Transformations:

- Note that while i put the keys as BA and DU, i will not cover all forms and every single feat that they can do.

1. BA.

- Here is a picture of PBA, he may look similar to PDU but you only need to know that as long as he does not have any black floating balls around him then it is PBA. Also PBA left hand is not black.

- Whenever Asta coat himself in Anti magic, aka using black Asta, he will have the same resistance as the mana skin ability that magic users use.

- Black Asta gives him a boost in strength, speed, Anti magic potency and the ability to fly. It also clears his mind.

- Asta's passive magic resistance is enhanced. He was frozen in place by Lucius's Chrono stasis but in his PBA form, he can move and talk freely. Everyone but Asta and Lucius is under the effect of time stop.

- Black Asta's passive Anti magic can erase magic in a small radius around him.

- This form has a feature that is later named "magic tracking", which give Asta something like an aim assit and drag his body toward power magic sources. Before he can not control it but now he can turn it on and off.

- Berserk mode black Asta with black divider can erase large scale magic in one attack.

- Somehow, Asta can turn black divider demon slayer into a liquid sword/whip hybrid.

- Black hurricane: Asta hold dweller and slayer on either hand and spin rapidly, mimic a black tornado that crush any incoming physical/magical projectile.

- Black Slash is much bigger, same with black hurricane.

- Black Asta used to be limited to only 2 or 3 times usage a day. But after the contract with Liebe and PBA, there was no mention about the limit of how many time he can use that form, only detransform whenever he took too much damage.

2. DU

- DU has all of the previous abilities of BA but better.

- Devil union can only last 5 minutes. After the time limit, DU has a cooldown of 30 minutes and during this time, Asta can not use it along with black Asta.

- If for some reason DU ended before the time limit, Asta and Liebe can always enter it back with how much time is left. Also, in DU, Asta's anti magic negation is greater than BA because it can negate Kid's playground with his presence alone.

- During DU, Asta's transformation timer is shown throw the reverse star symbol in his chest, the time limit is 5 mintue so after each minute, a black circle will replace a pointy edge of the star.

- In TDU, Asta can completely negate the magic of anyone/anything that either touches him or get touched by him, even reinforcement magic.

- Again, Anti magic always have limit, even in TDU, Asta's can't completely nullify TSS Yuno's zephyr because the latter is releasing extremely high density magic to counter that.

- While in all forms of DU, Asta will have Anti magic orbs floating around him. After the time skip, TDU Asta's can make all of his swords float behind instead of having to reach for each of them each time.

- In the final fight against Yuno, Asta shown that he can activate TDU at will. The lack of the arm armor also indicate this is full TDU, not partial TDU.

2.1. DU demon slayer

- Asta can make this sword much much bigger compare to even black Asta. Big enough to be able to deflect a giant fire ball from a supreme devil fusion. To give you a comparison, this is the size of that fire ball.

2.2. DU demon dweller

- Asta in DU can spam multiple black slashes that are also much bigger than normal, which can make multiple cuts on the fireball.

2.3 DU demon destroyer

- Using the Anti magic orb with demon destroyer, Asta can instantly destroy all magic within a radius instantly. This is also fast enough to completly negate Lucius's teleportation.

2.4. DU demon slasher

- In DU, the demon slasher has the special ability to choose what it cut, so Asta can use it recklessly and there will still no collateral damage to allies.

- Here, Asta used demon slasher to harmlessly cut through Nacht's hand and nullify Lucifero's gravity magic.

- Infinite slash, Equinox: This is a skill that Asta created, mimicking Yami's dimensional slash, Equinox. It is just a big slash of Anti magic. Though this has the downside of Asta having to charged up the slash, he has to raised the katana over his head before do a slashing motion down to do it, he can only do one slash at a time before his fight with Yuno.

- in the fight against Yuno, TDU Asta's can do 2 slashes of infinite slash that takes the form of a cross that resemble the letter x.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

V. Ki:

- Ki allow Asta to have a form of precognition. With it, even if Asta does not have magic sensory, he can sense magic, falling rocks, even mages who have magic that can hide themselves physically and magically.

- He can also use use ki sensing to see if someone is lying or not.

- Ki is the life energy inside everyone and everything, human, inanimate objects and even devil, they all subconsiously turn it into mana. For Asta, Ki is used to turned into Anti magic.

- Zetten: A technique that compress all of the mana or Anti magic inside ones body into a specific body parts like fists or legs, they can erupt it instantly and get stronger physically, magically and get faster, only during the duration of zetten.

- Asta described it as the Ki of someone get hundred of times or tens of times stronger than usual, this can be interpret as a 20, 40 or 100 times boosts to your attack and speed.

- Asta's Anti magic zetten can erase a specific magic part inside someone, so this is used a lot against Paladin so he can directly cut Lucius magic while leaving the main body unharmed.

- His zetten can also be used to deal with physical projectile, not like he ever has trouble with them particulary though.
