We don't know if this is the same technique as the Behemoth's. As I said Percy has several other techniques in stock so it's a bit absurd to summarize him in one ability. And again he has already claimed that Worreldane surviving it was not surprising due to her having a non-human half.



I meant an full erasure of existence, that is to say, erasing even the soul. This kind of thing can't be handled with a standard healing.
I am not strictly talking about the technique, but about Percival's ability to drain the life force of other races.

I don't think Annihilation can erase the soul, but it should be able to disintegrate body parts. This would 100% kill if it hits the entire body, but it's not like something like this can't be avoided.

And I was specifically talking about Nadula Gimala. I agree that Percy still has a lot to show. I don't like people reducing him to a limited capacity.

I don't think Annihilation can erase the soul, but it should be able to disintegrate body parts.
But if we take into account that demons can manipulate or at least interact with souls and Nakaba's statement that some arks can destroy souls, It would then be logical (in theory) that Annihilation could in the future erase even the soul but as I said above that is not likely to happen.

This would 100% kill if it hits the entire body, but it's not like something like this can't be avoided.
I think it would all depend on how much control he has over the thing.

I feel like a AI probably can't grasp the potential BS behind percival's nature as something akin to the concept of life and death personified as if the universe itself was retaliating against arthur's BS.

Tristan is pretty interesting, I think that perhaps mael with multiple commandments is the best reference we can have of what and of story tristan can look at. Of course, without the powers destroying him from within. Another thing to consider is that perhaps when tristan masters his powers they will evolve past mere light and darkness and become chaos. It's also worth noting tristan might have ark, darkness and also an innate magic like demons do. Of course, if he takes after his mother then perhaps light and darkness is all he has.

The fanbook has already confirmed that Tristan has an innate magic and it's called NOVA although we don't know its effects.

Ah, I see. In that case tristan is specially broke as far as potential goes. Demons in generals seem to have far more going for them than the other races. Darkness, innate magic... I suppose a case can be made that ark has shown to be more powerful/potent than darkness but it still feels broken to have both. Tristan having both ark and darkness without drawbacks, potentially the benefit of combining both AND an extra innate magic is broken even among the sins.

Great Point you raised here! Even among other hybrids, Nakaba made Tristan stand out as the only one to be given a new name/race: "Nephilim". He neither identifies as a Demon, nor as a Goddess, nor as both. He's a brand new race of his own. Darkness is the innate magic of the Demon Clan, and so is Ark for the Goddess. That made me think about what's gonna happen when he reaches the level where his Darkness and Light mix perfectly ... what would be the result? What could this 'unique and contradictory' energy be called?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this – are there many possibilities we could explore? :huh:

I suppose it's worth noting that there's some human in tristan even if he does wield the full might of ark and darkness. Hmmm, I am wondering if perhaps the perfect mix of dark and ark you mention is what creates his magic nova. Supernova?

Speaking of this, there is the possibility that Demons and Goddesses conceiving from each other is, in principle, impossible. What made it possible in Tristan's case is Elizabeth's unique condition of being a goddess in human body. Merlin described the human race in ch.335 as being "the most polarized of all races, possessing the extremes of Light and good, yet Darkness and evil". It's highly possible that the human element is Melizabeth's equation may have been the crucial factor enabling the conception of Tristan.

In this case it'd be weird that there was a concept of nephelin in the world to begin with. While rare you'd think there should have been instances of such creatures in the past... God knows how long the supreme deity and demon king extended the holy war back in the day.

I don't think we are supposed to see Tristan has someone who is part Human. He is a Nephilim, not Nephilim-Part Human. Elizabeth herself is considered a Goddess even now. But I think he might have a Human lifespan.

Nova is probably not unrelated to all the attacks he has used so far which are all PoD and Ark based. I don't really agree with Demons having more. Ark by itself is far more versatile than most.
