Nothingness Manipulation

The Batter's purification reduces the Zones to pure nothingness

Background

Nothingness Manipulation (also known as Void Manipulation or Non-Existence Manipulation) is the ability to control, generate, or shape nothingness — the absolute absence of existence, energy, matter, or space. This power governs the state where reality ceases to be, granting the user dominion over the void between all things. Unlike Erasure, which simply removes or deletes targets, Nothingness Manipulation involves actively commanding or shaping the concept and properties of nothingness itself.

Through this ability, the user can manifest pockets of void, generate anti-real environments, or weaponize the essence of non-being. At its most refined, users can alter how nothingness interacts with reality, manipulate what exists within it, and potentially recreate existence from it, treating nothingness as both a medium and an element. This makes it a versatile and paradoxical power that stands at the boundary between existence and nonexistence.

Also Called

• Void Control
• Non-Existence Manipulation
• Anti-Reality Manipulation
• Nihility Manipulation
• Nothing Field Creation

Possible Applications

• Generate void spaces that consume or nullify matter, energy, or reality itself.
• Manipulate the properties of nothingness, shaping it as a weapon, shield, or environment.
• Command or summon entities or structures born from the void.
• Create “zones of non-being” where physics and metaphysics no longer apply.
• Channel the void as energy for attacks, movement, or restoration.
• Reconstruct existence or form new matter from nothingness (advanced users).
• Erase or absorb concepts, entities, or space by merging them into the void.
• Merge with nothingness to become intangible or undetectable.

Practical Uses

• Acts as a perfect counter to existence- or creation-based abilities.
• Can isolate or imprison targets within null-zones devoid of time, matter, and energy.
• Provides absolute concealment by blending with the void.
• Can nullify incoming attacks by engulfing them in anti-reality.
• May serve as a foundation for higher concepts like oblivion creation or anti-energy generation.

Potential Variations

• Void Generation: Ability to manifest and expand fields of nothingness in various forms.
• Void Shaping: Ability to mold or manipulate void matter as if it were a substance.
• Existence Equilibrium: Control over the boundary between being and non-being, allowing the user to convert one into the other.
• Nihil Energy Manipulation: The ability to use nothingness as a form of anti-energy or destructive power.
• Absolute Void Dominion: Complete control over all layers of nothingness, including conceptual or pre-reality voids that transcend existence itself.

Possible Limitations

• Overuse may destabilize nearby reality or consume the user.
• May require a void medium or connection to nonexistence to function.
• The user risks merging permanently with nothingness if control is lost.
• Cannot always recreate what has been absorbed into the void.
• May be weakened in areas with dense existence or creation-based power.
