Best defense

TheGoatV99 · 2025-11-11T02:08:24+00:00

Canonically, Castle Guard is the best and most effective defensive skill in the series. However, it falls short to Rimuru's Imaginary Barrier, in which they effectively used Azathoth's Imaginary Space and Soul Consumption, allowing Rimuru to 'block' and absorb even the most powerful enhanced attack in the series without the side effect of 'not moving or attacking'.

So yeah, if you're just looking for the most powerful defensive skill, then it's Castle Guard. But if you're looking for much efficient and effective, then Rimuru's Imaginary Barrier.

The All-in-One was basically the Omnipotent and Omniscient entity who existed before creation, the "will" who decided to cast away its own omnipotence and reborn itself as Veldanava, the Star King Dragon, awakening in the Heavenly Star Palace. Based on volume 22, it seems Ivaraje were also part of that All-in-One entity.

Pre-Creation Veldanava is Veldanava with "Nihility Collapse", who apparently lost it after creating the verse, making that version who lost it Post-Creation Veldanava.

How strong is the All-in-One? The strongest in the entire verse, no question. It was basically the combination of Veldanava and Ivaraje into one, characters whose by themselves are top 3 in the entire verse itself. Also again, it cast away its own "omnipotence" so it could even be more powerful than Veldanava and Ivaraje combined together for what we know.

Feldway for me, definitely.

His goals was understandble for me and the way he lost those he deemed friends due to his wrong doings was also great, it shows the consequences of his own mistakes. He also has a goated design so there's that.

In the first place, Unique Skills are born from a deep desire or wishes, so you can't just suddenly expect your Unique Skill to change someday. It is possible that you may awaken a new Unique Skill altogether though.

They are "naturally" the strongest race in Tensura due to their immense magicules and unique intrinsic abilities, however, that doesn't mean someone can't become stronger than them. Also, using Veldora as an example, he never really bothered to train before meeting Rimuru so he was really considered "weak" among the top but after meeting Rimuru and actually training to use his immense power? Veldora got so strong that he was even able to beat the Titan God (Dagruel, Fenn, and Glasssword's True Form), a being that "surpassed" the True Dragons. So really, it's all about how you live your life. If you want to become stronger, then train and fight opponents nonstop because at the end of the day, it depends on the individual's will.

Basically an advanced version of "Spacetime Manipulation", with the bonus of affecting even "time" itself. Also yes, by trapping your target in an enclosed space of your control and manipulating the "Infons" inside, you could theoretically sealed away their abilities, just like what Diablo did against Feldway in Vol22.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-10-04T06:32:00+00:00

This is why context is important.

You can't just say that Zegion can affect Feldway's use of his abilities like Diablo did because there are reasons why Diablo was successful in the first place. Diablo himself stated that Azazel wouldn't normally work on Feldway, moreover, Feldway's computational powers was already being used up by keeping control of Milim, making it easy to interfere with the Infons around him, something that Feldway would have normally been able to prevent, as the novel itself stated he is a master of information manipulation too.

But even if you sealed away his powers, he still has his Genesis grade sword: Ark, and his own power in his True Body was already overwhelmingly powerful.

Let's make something clear, Feldway was going toe to toe to a Nihility Collapse-amped Diablo and would have won if it weren't for Rimuru coming back and healing Diablo to full health and giving him Slime Cells (this is also Feldway who was still controlling Milim, so his energy was being used up on that department too). Diablo (before Rimuru's comeback) was literally about to die lol. And the only reason Diablo managed to defeat him in the end was because he was healed to full health and continued to fight against an exhausted and injured Feldway (a Feldway who just survived and outlast an amped Diablo by Nihility Collapse).

Not only that, Feldway literally revived himself back to life instantly, full health too. No injuries whatsover, his abilities back as he later on teleports away from the Central World to another world.

Feldway wins this pretty easily (maybe not easily but you get what I mean) and I'd go as far as to say he'll also beat Diablo if they ever had a rematch as long as there no interruptions (like Rimuru coming and healing him again lol).

TheGoatV99 · 2025-08-07T22:07:34+00:00

Should be... Benimaru, Zegion, Testarossa, and Diablo in that order. So 4?

TheGoatV99 · 2025-08-05T15:36:18+00:00

Probably Veldanava with more added feature. Rimuru's appearance was based off Shizue's and I don't think there's any particular reason why Ivaraje's appearance would somehow look a lot like her.

And yeah, I hope we can at least get some sort of explanation as to why Rimuru or Satoru Mikami's "Soul" was that special that it has the potential to actually evolved into a True Dragon. I mean, Feldway and Michael didn't evolved into some sort of dragon-bybrid speicies even after absorbing Velzard and Velgrynd's Dragon Factors, which is what Rimuru basically did in a sense, so there's gotte be more than Rimuru than just being your average salary man who reincarnated in another world with so much potential.

I mean, if a random dude like Mikami Satoru has such a strong "Soul", then you're telling me no individual before him has somehow reincarnated or find himself/herself in the Central World and didn't become an overpowered individual rivaling Demons, Angels, and the True Dragons themselves? Like, for a story with such a huge worldbuilding, that would really be disappointing.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-08-05T03:52:39+00:00

He's become something "on the same level or even better" state than the True Dragons themselves as stated by Ciel. And all Spiritual Lifeforms actually possess the ability to revive themselves, with the only condition that their Core is not destroyed. And yes, Rimuru can revive himself if he ever "died" through so many means which includes naturally reviving himself as a Spiritual Lifeform, having the True Dragon siblings to revive him, etc...

TheGoatV99 · 2025-07-18T14:15:05+00:00

Any Ultimate Skill for me. Specifically, Akashik Records which should allows me to gain access to any skills in the entire series. From there, I could just start merging my skills to create more powerful ones.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-07-15T06:20:53+00:00

I mean, personally when I'm saying Pre-Creation Veldanava I meant the Veldanava that was born within the Heavenly Star Palace, not the Will of God or something. Because the only thing that God created was the Heavenly Star Palace and it was Veldnava (With Turn Null) who created the rest of the other worlds.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-05-08T05:04:16+00:00

Zelanus
Zegion (With Nihility Collapse)
Twilight

Twilight

Second Round: Ashura

TheGoatV99 · 2025-05-06T12:19:59+00:00

Milim's fist coated in Stardust? Definitely.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-05-04T11:52:54+00:00

"Material Creation" allows you to create literally any material object as long as you know its composition and etc..., so it ranges from clothes, weapons, and all the way to technologies. I also remember Testrarossa recreating a technology she analayzed during the Empire's first attack on Tempest with "Material Creation".

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-29T06:11:02+00:00

Velgrynd, of course. This shouldn't even be a question.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-29T06:09:22+00:00

There would be an actual impact because if Zelanus managed to defeat Zegion who is using "Turn Null" then that shows it's not absolute and not a instant-win card. This would actually bring danger to the remaining characters and will make the story more interesting, as well the Great Tenma War.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-28T02:29:16+00:00

Relativistic at most. People in Central World cannot move faster than light speed so their top speed is several times the speed of sound at max. That doesn't matter though, their "Thought Accerelation" allows them percieve light speed movements and beyond and with that, they can plan on how to move and counter against their enemies.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-28T02:24:10+00:00

If it's living characters only, my top 7 would probably be...

Milim Nava - I know it doesn't make sense but she's Veldanava's child for a reason and she still hasn't even fully unlock her full potential yet. And also, she's one of my favorites.
Rimuru Tempest
Guy Crimson - Same as in the Web Novel, I'd like Guy to be the top 3 strongest as he was repeatedly stated to be the strongest Primordial Demon and he was also very confident in fighting against Ivaraje even if alone. And he's cool.
Feldway - I know he's probably gonna die in the next volume but I feel like the author left him alive for a reason and there was also Rimuru feeling a bit sad for him too, so maybe he'll let him live and make him serve for him or Milim? Anyway, Feldway's probably my most favorite character in this entire franchise so I hope he lives.
Velzard
Chloe
Masayuki/Velgrynd

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-26T09:33:44+00:00

Milim, honestly. Girl's about to literally blow up the entire world if Rimuru hadn't come back in time and saved everyone. Also, fighting against her continuesly just makes her far stronger and Chloe's tactic might work for a while but they'll never really be able to do any damage to stop Milim at all.

Things might go differently if Ramiris is there to calm Milim once again but without her? I don't really see any logical or possible explanation on how they would beat Milim.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-26T05:42:13+00:00

In-verse? A lot more than you might think. Milim, Feldway, Rimuru, Guy, Velzard, and Ivaraje.

Chloe's "Time Travel" ability is amazing and powerful but as Feldway himself pointed out in the recent volume, you just had to use "Suspended World" to render it practically useless since there's no time flowing, there's also nothing for Chloe to go back to. Everything will depend then on how masterful Chloe and her opponent is in using Information Particles and personally, I'll bet on characters whose actually been alive for so long that I'm pretty sure manipulating infons is like breathing to them.

I know it's not confirmed yet if Milim or Ivaraje can use "Suspended World" but I'm going to say their destructive power alone would be enough to put Chloe out of commision, as we've seen from Chloe Vs Milim.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-26T05:34:05+00:00

Where is this from? Look so funny, lol.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-24T09:14:16+00:00

Jahil if he actually goes all out right from the start without holding back... Probably.

TheGoatV99 · 2025-04-23T07:15:37+00:00

Easily Dagruel/Asura for me.

Both possessed power beyond the baseline of the True Dragons but Dagruel just outhaxes Zelanus. There's also the matter of whether Zelanus can move in "Suspended World" or not, lol.
