User blog:Mugen no Setsuna/Power levels in Mondaiji verse

Third blog after cosmology and explaination for terms in Mondaiji. In this blog i will explain how ranking as well as power levels works, from the lowest to the highest order.

Once again, this may contain spoilers from latest Last Embryo volumes or even Short Stories as well, so if you ignore the caution, please proceed reading

Digits
Common term to gauge the strength of each invidual or Community in Little Garden, there are total 7 parts of Digit levels, the smaller it have, the stronger you are. Even a difference between one Digit is like separation between Heaven and Earth, like one 3-Digit Divine Spirit can easilly snapped a 4-Digit Demon King like insect, and so forth. Even a 5-Digit would have trouble to rise up into 4-Digit

7 to 6-Digit are lowest, 5th is in the middle, 4th and higher are in upper layer.

"In the Little Garden, generally speaking, the 7-Digit and 6-Digit are the lower levels, the 5-Digit is the middle level and the 4-Digit to 1-Digit are the upper level. Although the 5-Digit is placed as the middle level, the prevailing view on this place is that the power difference between that level and the upper level is like the separation of Heaven and Earth. In other words, even a Demon King of the highest level of the 5-Digit is hardly can ascend to the 4-Digit."

~Volume 6, chapter 3

List of the Digit names: 3-Digit gods can't use their true form in lower world because their presence can cause disaster to everything
 * Divine Domain (4-Digit). Ex: Demon King Maxwell, pre time-skipped Izayoi, Kouryuu
 * Almighty Domain (3-Digit). Ex: Literally all 3-Digit Gods like Divine Army or other pantheons
 * Full-Authority Domain (2-Digit). Ex: Depowered Shiroyasha, Shaka Buddha
 * Last Embryo (1-Digit): Ex: True Last Embryo (Azi Dahaka, Dystopia, End Emptiness) and Beasts of the End (Balor, Gugalanna, Orochi,...)

"Touriten —— The gate which connects the Empyrean World (Heaven) and the Present World (Earth), made for the purpose of allowing the Divine Alliance Community - [Divine Army] to dispatch to subjugate the demon kings.

If the powerful Divine Spirits of the 3-Digit were descend to the lower world with their original form, their presence alone would be disaster that shakes Heaven and Earth.

The Gate of Heaven aka Touriten was made to reduce that effect."

~Volume 10, Interlude 1~

One of the main factor why 3-Digit gods can not use their full strength in Little Garden is because of the Omnipotent Paradox

"The gods of Little Garden, due to this "Omnipotent Paradox" being a part of paradox games, were forbidden to build cosmologies with monism · monotheism as the foundation. The very reason why largest sects that existed in the age of 2000s cannot exercise their power on Little Garden."

~Volume 11, Interlude 1~

How the conflict of Omnipotent Paradox affected on 3-Digit

"—— It was actually like that. Although roughly understood the location of the inventor, as long as the convergence point 「Death of Izayoi’s parents」 did not change, the inventor would not be concentrated to a single person. But the change of convergence point meant the change of Akashic Record. Even three digit could not do it easily. Even if Almighty could create, it could not easily change creation. Because it would contradict with a part of 「Omnipotent Paradox」."

~Volume 12, chapter 6~

Indra explained about the road to 2-Digit and nature of 2-Digit beings

"“「Host Master」 was created for the sake of sealing that guy… Have you heard about this?”

“Mah, I more or less understand.”

“Then it makes explanation easier, the key point is that. ‘Giving humans all kinds of trials (Games) during the sealing period, nurturing heroes and bravery!’ This matter, although it was related to the spreading of Gift Game, only Demon Lords up to year 1999 were successfully settled. We also had most of our authorities sealed by 「Omnipotent Paradox」 and 「End Emptiness」 when the Game became widespread, really, trouble comes in pairs. Mah, although using this as the chance, we opened the path towards the Full Authority Floor (Little Garden two digit).”

“...There was no one in the two digit before?”

“No, there are four. They are the originals that held the existence of Brahman since birth. Their structure were completely different from us. Even now, including Gau****, there were about seventeen inside?”

It meant that most of the place were still empty. So many gods and buddhas were gathered, but only seventeen spots were filled in the two digits."

~Volume 12, chapter 4~

All 3-Digit gods have equal Spiritual Status, with only exception is Queen Halloween whom outclassed them. Moreover, from the 2-Digit onwards it's already impossible to enter fighting-stage, as they are completely boundless from various restraints of the 3-Digit

"“Ultimately speaking, people in Three Digits had equal spirit level. 「Queen」 was the only rule breaker. The Two Digits above this – reaching 「Full Authority Territory」 – can’t even enter the battle stage.”

“...Can’t even enter?”

“Ah ah. Shiroyoruō is a classic example. If she could not control the total mass of the origin of universe, she could not reach geocentrism. That person reached 「Full Authority Territory」 with just two authorities.”

「Full Authority Territory」 — Not a metaphor, that was peak of territory that could only be reached when one received all authorities within one’s body. Likewise, 「Omnipotent Territory」 referred to the territory that received all abilities, but it did not mean omnipotent literally. In outside world, they might be almighty, but because of various paradoxes starting from 「Almighty Paradox」, they cannot freely use their omnipotence. Hence in a battle they must grant a portion of the omnipotence as Gift to others, let them fight on their behalf."

~Volume 12, chapter 9~

Unlike 3 and 2-Digit, 1-Digit beings have incomplete Spiritual Essence with spartial power. Prime example is End Emptiness, he can grant both 3-Digit and 2-Digit Authority to end all worlds (stories)

"“According to this interpretation, One Digit can be said to be an incomplete spirit status with partial abilities. 「End Emptiness」 is the best example. It is a spirit body that granted 「Authority to end all worlds (tales)」 to all Omnipotent and Full Authority beings.”

“...That’s just, it isn’t an opponent in the dimension of winning or losing.”"

~Volume 12, chapter 9~

Scaling from the 3-Digit
One important thing you need to know about Mondaiji verse is, the gods of 3-Digit CAN NOT use their full power in Little Garden due to the fact that most of their power have been sealed by Omnipotent Paradox and End Emptiness as stated above. However, even with that much of restrictions that bounded them, they are still very powerful on great extent, here's why.

Just by observation, 3-Digit gods can change the beginning and the end of all things (Though this required the 2-Digit to accept first in order to do something like that)

"The Arthurian Legend generally ends with the betrayal of the knight named Mordred.

That is a rule when narrating the Arthurian Legend in Outer Worlds and a “convergence point of history” as spoken from the observation of the gods.

Although Little Garden – the Third Point Observation Universe is where worlds of countless diversities were observed, only this convergence point refuses the notion of diversity.

Though changing the fluctuation between the beginning and the end is trivial for historical observation, but changing both of the beginning and the end would alter the very entire history itself.

A reform large enough to alter the foundation of history, that is, the replacement of the opinion of a god, is a major reform that would require either the approval of majority of beings dwell on the realm of 2-Digit or an exceptional miracle created by the once God King. And, both of them aren’t any easy task.

In any case, even if the Arthurian Legend was able to prove its usefulness, in this state where ruination is inevitable, they can only ignore it as one of the myriad pasts of “Void Epoch of History”. In a word, the Arthurian Legend is currently drifting between the truth and fiction.

The God King shook his head lightly,

“At least, that is what my source of information told me. All of this was possible because that is a “Void Epoch of History” possesses countless possibilities…… Isn’t that so, Aira?”

“Usu. Because the fact the Void Epoch observed from Little Garden isn’t a single-dimensional entity, but a multidimensional entity. Going by the existing conclusion, all members of the Round Table ――― No, there are two people as exceptions. But, fundamentally, except King Arthur’s brother-in-law and Sir Dagonet, I’ve heard all of them have a reason to betray King Arthur.”"

~Last Embryo Short Story: Dystopia Chapter, the Crown Stone 7~

By sending avatars, they can interfere with Outer Worlds and parallel universes

"(.......If I solve the mystery behind the Allfather’s declaration, those two should be realized about the relationship with the World of Little Garden, the Outer World and the state of alternate parallel universes. I cannot abandon the preparation for Nitten (Surya) and others to advance in the Outer World.)

Taishakuten had a reason to run a free agent company in the Outer World.

That is to move the Protectors of Buddhism, the Twelve Devas as his limbs when comes the time those siblings facing the crisis of the world.

There is a chance the Outer World where Izayoi didn’t exist for five years to be lagged two or three steps behind when taking the original and proper official history into account. The job of the Divine Spirits and avatars of gods who are members of Tokuteru’s agency was to compensate that.

......Much less than those siblings had chosen to walk on the most dangerous path.

They will need various international supports, to overcome the [Last Trials of Humanity] in the truest sense."

~Last Embryo volume 5, chapter 2~

Not a single world or universe is outside the intervention of the gods. Furthermore, they can make their probability of existence into 100% to exist in all universes. Noted that, the exact power level that the gods can use in Little Garden is 50%

"“It is the way to read and measure the [Host Master]. Though its origin of power is connected to a mystical force, but to analyze that requires both excluding and examining that mystery. There probably exists at least two that are “worlds where gods can interfere or worlds where gods can exist” and “worlds where gods cannot interfere”, right?”

“Aa. Your explanation is almost correct.”

“In short, by this very point, a god had their probability of existence halved in half...... so they can only demonstrate only 50% of their Spiritual Essence regardless how much they strive on Little Garden?”

“Wh...... what!?”

Kuro Usagi had her Usamimi stood up from sheer astonishment. Her Usamimi has never heard of this before.

The supreme gods who would hold the power of omnipotence and omniscience if the binding of Little Garden didn’t exist, can only use half of their power?

Tokuteru made a clear nod to confirm that.

“Yeah. And to possess that wedge is the duty of the Origin Candidate of mankind.”

“The [Host Master] being the strongest Enforcement Authority means there must be a foundation for the ritual to “make probability of existence into almost 100%”. With this method, simply by what on the paper about the [Host Master], we will get a measurement where “the probability of existence of Divine Spirits are 100% in all universes”.”

“I-I see......! This has enlightened much to I, Kuro Usagi!”

Usa!, Kuro Usagi stretched the Usamimi and took notes on the matter zealously.

Saigou Homura turned his pen and made a satisfied face.

Those aside from Divine Spirits and beings similar to them create the [Host Master] with disasters or laws of celestial bodies as foundation was simultaneously aiming for using the universal phenomena as a wedge and convenient for them as avatars of the gods.

A correct example is the “Wrath of God”.

The “make the probability of existence into almost 100%” as said by Homura, was the ultimate goal accomplished by the union of Inner Universe and Outer Universe. Such was the meaning of the liberation of Spiritual Essence."

"(Fate is defined as a large flow by the volume of the universe. The cause for more than three Divine Spirits can’t exist simultaneously in a world where probability of existence of Divine Spirits are low, was because cataclysms that were impossible to manifest would occur as the outcome of the volume of fate being changed by the Divine Spirit’s immense existence)

There is one thing wrong about Homura’s assumption.

Is that for a Divine Spirit, something such as “worlds where they cannot interfere” does not exist, the right explanation would be there are “meaningless worlds even if they interfere”. In short, they are worlds that are extremely possible for the gods to make a return with a residue portion of the power created miracles and everything will still remain with the same conclusion.

Even by chance if a Divine Spirit saved a world with perfect allocation, only one amidst all infinite parallel worlds that exist will be saved.

In order to save all worlds the Little Garden observes and all worlds that aren’t purposely observed, by themselves, mankind must draw out the necessary volume of fate for the entire mankind to save the entire mankind."

~Last Embryo volume 6, chapter 4~

And last but not least, to their view infinite branching of multiverses are nothing but smaller than particles

"“In general, the multiverse observed from the World of Little Garden isn’t “infinite parallel worlds”, but “infinite parallel worlds is merely a standard value”. It is not timelines branching from a singular universe similar to a great river, but able to observe simultaneously with infinite universes constantly to appear constantly to branch infinitely. If one can interfere simultaneously and indefinitely on all of them, the universes observed from the World of Little Garden is likely to be much less than even particles...... That is, if the probability of existence is too low, they would disappear. Regardless what sort of powerful Divine Spirit, if their probability of existence was divided too much, they would become the size of, or perhaps smaller than a particle.”

Homura made a bitter smile as he took the parchment he wrote.

The Strongest Species had their power reduced significantly from countless restrictions. The Origin Candidate must have been meant to solve all of them---"

- “Hmm...... To be fair, I once considered of that in the past. It was an accepted opinion that faith is what gives power to a Divine Spirit, but logically examining the Little Garden, there are methods enabling to obtain tremendous power in a much higher efficiency than faith or fear.”

Perhaps, the means for a Divine Spirit to obtain power is roughly divide into two processes.

A logical examination should likely be following these steps.

① Increase of believers & object of fear = increase of faith = coming into existence as a Divine Spirit.

② Increase of believers = huge influence on the world = huge “Historical Transition Period” [Paradigm Shift] occurs = Since mythological religious view is flawlessly incorporated as a part of mankind’s transition period, the probability of existence would skyrocket.

“Yes --- the largest power source of a Divine Spirit isn’t faith, but the [Paradigm Shift].”

A Convergence Point supported by the Interchanging Parallel World Theory that connects the boundaries of different and alternate universes. Inside that exists a vortex of tremendous power beyond imagination. The boundary decides the degree of strength among the Divine Spirits is whether that one is involving with [Paradigm Shift].

~Last Embryo volume 6, chapter 4~

The main power source of gods is coming from the Paradigm Shift

"“Hmm...... To be fair, I once considered of that in the past. It was an accepted opinion that faith is what gives power to a Divine Spirit, but logically examining the Little Garden, there are methods enabling to obtain tremendous power in a much higher efficiency than faith or fear.”

Perhaps, the means for a Divine Spirit to obtain power is roughly divide into two processes.

A logical examination should likely be following these steps.

① Increase of believers and object of fear equivalent to increase of faith equivalent to coming into existence as a Divine Spirit.

② Increase of believers equivalent to huge influence on the world equivalent to huge “Historical Transition Period” [Paradigm Shift] occurs equivalent to Since mythological religious view is flawlessly incorporated as a part of mankind’s transition period, the probability of existence would skyrocket.

“Yes --- the largest power source of a Divine Spirit isn’t faith, but the [Paradigm Shift].”

Based on the feats of 3-Digit, we can summary like this

50% 3-Digit > Infinitely above the Mondaiji multiverse. Should be even higher when fully 100% unrestricted

2-Digit > Simply outmatched the power of 3-Digit

1-Digit > On top of everything else including 3-Digit and 2-Digit

The concept of Brahman
Throughout Mondaiji volumes, we have seen the word Brahman (Universal Truth) briefly mentioned. Let's start with the Mondaiji first. In volume 9, Shiroyasha said that the Spear of Indra carried Brahman etymology

"The Divine Spear of Absolute Destruction that was created by Taishakuten, the Chief of the Juniten and Brahma, the Advisor of the Juniten and the Supreme God of Indian Mythology.

Its origin was the Divine Spear possessed by Brahma. The original is the same as the spear of perfect accuracy and certain victory of Celtic Pantheon, an object that will always triumph and win against all enemies once used.

The terrifying part of this spear is not the Gift of “Slaying”, but the Gift of “Victory” inside it. For example, regardless what kind of enemy and even if they possess an unbreakable shield, it will alter the world itself and overwhelm its adversary. This Gift is capable of that because it's from the Supreme God possesses the etymology of “Brahman”, but once you reached to this level, that’s already the domain of Authority."

~Volume 9: Teach me! Shiroyasha-sensei, part 1~

In volume 11, Azi Dahaka mocked the Authority of Brahman that it's useless in front of his Another Cosmology

"(How foolish! Even now you try to use the authority of Universal Truth (Brahman)! Did they not understand Avesta’s ability!?)

The Indian Gods - The Sun Trinity Mystical God held the the spear of absolute hit and absolute victory. That was the authority of “Destined Victory” the Gods reached after manipulating the truth of the Universe, a type of ‘Another Cosmology’.

Once that was used, regardless of target, Avesta would automatically oppose and neutralize it."

~Volume 11, chapter 6~

As also mentioned in the Digits above, the 2-Digit beings are Primordial Brahman. So, what is the meaning of Brahman and why it's heavilly related with the power of 3-Digit?

According to the wiki, it said like this

"In Hinduism, Brahman connotes the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality in the universe. In major schools of Hindu philosophy, it is the material, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, genderless, infinite, eternal truth and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes. Brahman as a metaphysical concept is the single binding unity behind diversity in all that exists in the universe.

Brahman is a Vedic Sanskrit word, and it is conceptualized in Hinduism, states Paul Deussen, as the "creative principle which lies realized in the whole world". Brahman is a key concept found in the Vedas, and it is extensively discussed in the early Upanishads. The Vedas conceptualize Brahman as the Cosmic Principle. In the Upanishads, it has been variously described as Sat-cit-ānanda (truth-consciousness-bliss)and as the unchanging, permanent, highest reality."

Here is another explaination for Brahman.

Without a doubt, Brahman is a state where you have already transcended above all things, be it concepts, realities, dimensional, limitations,...Brahman is infinite above them and absolute. It is the source of all reality as well as the origin of creation. In fact, all 3-Digits gods are living Brahman, with Another Cosmology as their own universes and main weapons.

Basically, Brahman is just like Taikyoku from Shinzaverse.
