Background

Immortality Negation is the ability to negate the immortality of others, rendering them killable. This power can be used in various ways, such as by aging an immortal being, disrupting a being's connection to the concept of death, negating their regeneration, or preventing a person from relying on a source that grants them immortality. Essentially, it enables the user to bypass the natural protections against death that some beings possess. Immortality negation allows the user to nullify a target’s immortality, whether it is biological, supernatural, or metaphysical. While immortality typically shields beings from death or aging, immortality negation exploits weaknesses in the being’s form or existence, severing their protection against death. This ability can be used on gods, supernatural entities, or any being granted immortality through a source. It typically works by altering the conditions or laws that grant the target immortality or by directly attacking the aspects that sustain it.

Possible Applications

  • Aging: Some users can age beings with eternal youth or agelessness, causing them to age rapidly until they reach a state where they can die from old age, effectively nullifying their immortality.
  • Regeneration Nullification: By negating a being’s regenerative abilities, users can prevent the target from healing wounds or regenerating after death, rendering them mortal and vulnerable.
  • Source Disconnection: Some users can sever a being’s connection to the source of their immortality, such as removing the power that grants them eternal life or cutting off the flow of energy or magic that sustains their immortal state.
  • Conceptual Negation: A powerful form of immortality negation that targets the concept of immortality itself, nullifying the existence of any entity that derives immortality from conceptual or abstract forces.
  • Temporal Manipulation: Some users can manipulate time to reverse or affect the agelessness of an immortal being, causing them to age or die as time progresses.
  • Existential Destruction: A form of immortality negation that erases the very existence of a being, preventing them from continuing to exist regardless of their immortality. This could involve erasing a being from reality or preventing their continued existence in time.

Possible Limitations

  • Physiology: Some beings may possess unique forms of immortality that make them immune to negation, such as beings whose immortality is tied to their essence or existence. In such cases, immortality negation may be ineffective.
  • Source Dependency: Some immortals may rely on a particular source, such as a fountain of youth or a mystical object, to maintain their immortality. If this source is inaccessible or unbreakable, immortality negation may fail.
  • Conceptual and Metaphysical Limits: Beings who are not bound by the laws of time, death, or existence may be impervious to immortality negation, especially if their immortality is a result of conceptual or metaphysical forces beyond normal comprehension.
  • Temporal and Cosmic Forces: Some immortality negation abilities may only function in specific timelines or universes, meaning the negation might not work in alternate dimensions or if the target exists outside the standard flow of time.

Users

  • Observation Users from Megami Tensei: Observation users can remove a character's immortality by completely changing their observation of them by the masses.
