The Transcendence



"The Transcendence was a body. She could feel its limbs, the bodies of its human host already counted in the billions and scattered over thousands of worlds. And yet in another way she was barely more aware of the individual bodies that made up this great host than she was of the cells of her own tiny form.

And its consciousness was not just a network of pooled minds. It arose from that network, like a frost pattern emerging from the interactions of ice molecules. She, the spark that was still Alia, felt bewildered by the scope and grandeur of its thoughts. The Transcendence was a symphony orchestra overwhelming her with its mighty themes—and yet own lone piping was an essential part of the whole.

She didn’t lose herself. She was still Alia. She was even aware of her own body, lying in its pallet. When she became more adept she would be able to function normally, live a fully human life, while still engaging in the greater community of the Transcendence. It was like—more metaphors, Alia!—it was like doing two things at once with different levels of awareness, like walking and holding a conversation at the same time. It would be a life lived on two levels, just as she had seen of the Transcendents on this worldlet."

Age: Less than a year old during the main events of the book. Tens of thousands of years old by the time of its destruction.

Classification: Gestalt mind of human souls.

Special Abilities: Reality Warping (Can shape entire universes with its will alone), Technological Manipulation, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Matter Manipulation, Non-Corporeal, Absorption, Fusionism (Could merge all universes together) Dimensional Travel, Time Travel, Space-Time Manipulation, Immortality (Types 1, 3, 5, and 8 relient on the concept of humanity), Cosmic Awareness, Nigh-Omniscience, Soul Manipulation (Even if the humans part of it have their bodies destroyed, their minds remain part of it), Telepathy, Mind Manipulation, Perception Manipulation, Extrasensory Perception, Acausality (Type 5, stated to be beyond "Such trivialities as causality and consequence"), Causality Manipulation, Time Travel, Probability Manipulation (Capable of collapsing all infinite possibilities into one), Regeneration (At least Low-Godly, Likely Mid-Godly. It was implied that even if every human body and mind in the multiverse throughout history, which is what composes the very being, was erased, it would be unaffected and could even bring them back), Creation, Void Manipulation (Can erase beings on the level they never existed in the first place), Quantum Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation (It's own realm was called abstract in nature, and it can control "the light against which all phenomena are shadows", with the series even using Plato's philosophy as a direct comparison to how its ability works. Also has control over the fundamental information of existence), Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Due to being composed of a literal infinite quantity of human minds merged into a higher-dimensional form) Space-Time Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Quantum Manipulation, and Conceptual Manipulation

Destructive Ability: At least High Quantaverse Level, Likely Hyperverse level (Created a realm transcending the multiverses spacetime. Confirmed by word of god to above the xeelee, who could control 11-D spacetime and create universes with a "stupendous" amount of dimensions. While the exact number is unknown, the wording implies it would be somewhere in this range)

Weaknesses: Absorbing too much human suffering will cause it to become far weaker, although this can be circumvented by erasing all humans from existence so they never existed
