Dude, you've been told several times that throwing a spear doesn't destroy a phase, it creates a new phase. You can start fucking reading now or not.

しかし、その平穏もつかの間、『隠世』--世界に存在するすべての『位相』の、さらに薄紙一枚を隔てた場所から真の『グレムリン』たる完全な『魔神』たちが現れる
No we do have other sources, namely Othinus and the Magic Gods themselves, common sense would dictate that they have more knowledge of their own abilities than a dude guessin with incomplete information.
The problem is that neither Othinus nor the other magic gods explain how the Phases work. At most, they create new Phases on top of old Phases. NT9 is the only book that explains how the Phases work, and even the narrative supports Touma's words.
Eh, Beast666 is on the same level of existence as the Magic Gods, only unlike them, he can control something else that is inaccessible to the Magic Gods. Even Birdway can repeat a spear throw (and according to your headcanon, destroy all Phases with it).

The problem is that the Phases are mapped to the Sephirah, and they can't be on the same level as the material world. The destruction of the Phases also means the total destruction of the entire Tree of Sephiroth. Plan Coronzon, Plan Fiamma, and Plan Aleister are is compared because each of them affects the entire Ein System. Coronzon to destroy everything, Fiamma to correct the distortion of the four elements in all worlds, and Aleister Crowley to destroy everything but the Pure World.

Jesus fucking christ and again your fucking wrong.

Again that gungnir's effect is caused by the creation of a phase is speculation from Touma(hell replica Gungnir explicitly can't create anything but still destroy the world just like Othinus, more proof that the magic gods powers aren't limited to creation), what we know is not speculation is Othinus having shattered and smashed all the phases.


Your headcanon doesn't trump what the story says dude. Unless your accusing of Js06 of mistranslating the story, in which case source pls, I'm just going with what is said.



Okay and this is relevant why? It just supports the fact that the hidden world phase is special.

The problem is that neither Othinus nor the other magic gods explain how the Phases work. At most, they create new Phases on top of old Phases. NT9 is the only book that explains how the Phases work, and even the narrative supports Touma's words.
Do you remember who exactly said that?

Othinus did.

Do you also remember who said she destroyed everything?

Othinus herself, the Magic Gods, and Kamachi in the GT6 afterword.

And do you remember who said that Magic Gods can destroy?

Othinus who said she can and did destroy and remake everything, and the True Magic Gods who can explicitly destroy the entire world simply by moving an arm or leg due to their infinite power and the TMG's themselves saying that while nerfed they can still destroy the world.

Touma did not say these things but the beings who's knowledge of their own abilities trump's his do.



and even the narrative supports Touma's words.

The narrative only partly supports it.

Even then stuff like Touma's explanation of how Magic Gods paint over the world is while technically correct is also wrong at the same time.

Cause they aren't painting over one canvas(world), their putting a blank canvas over the painting and painting on that new canvas(world) but the old canvas(world) still exists beneath the new one.

As explained by Othinus, not Touma.

Again Touma is literally making educated guesses based off what he's learning from Othinus, he is not a genius repository on the knowledge of phases than the beings who literally have the power to create and destroy them.

What Othinus and the Magic Gods can also do is destroy all the canvases with their power. As explained by their own words.



Even Birdway can repeat a spear throw (and according to your headcanon, destroy all Phases with it).

Yes???

That is literally what's said in NT 10








Even though it's a replica not containing the full power of the Magic Gods Othinus, nor her ability to create phases.

it can still replicate the destruction the Magic God Othinus can do with it which means that the destruction is different from phase creation. Which is actually just more proof that Magic Gods don't just create but can destroy.

Because of this Replica Gungnir can destroy the world but not recreate it.

Hence why Touma and Othinus freaked the fuck out.

The problem is that the Phases are mapped to the Sephirah, and they can't be on the same level as the material world. The destruction of the Phases also means the total destruction of the entire Tree of Sephiroth.

What? You can absolutely destroy phases without destroying the entire world that's what Crowley and Othinus did.

Tha doesn't fucking make sense unless we're just gonna say that Othinus is equal to Mo Athair now.

Hell Magic Gods explicitly have the ability to create phases...

How can they when their "of the material world."

Do they actually not create phases now?

Are they actually fucking retarded when they say that they can destroy the world?

In OMGAru the Magic Gods are all actually fucking retarded and don't know how their own powers work while Touma is a genius whose knowledge of the Magic Gods abilities trump's their own.

And the narration written by Kamachi is also fucking wrong and should be ignored...

Only in OMGAru

Hell your argument in and of itself is self defeating.

The entire reason why you, paxton, Astaro, and I agreed Othinus is multiversal is because she destroyed all the phases.

If she never actually did so she isn't multiversal

Your debunking your own beliefs.

And Othinus needing Imagine Breaker to reset everything wouldn't make sense either.

Cause if she didn't destroy anything but covered them up all she would need to do is uncover it.

She wouldn't need Imagine Breaker to recreate anything.

I guess that's the retardation all magic gods have in OMGAru

Don't forget about the Dainsleif calamities.

Othinus literally stated that they'd be capable of destroying the "World" much like she did, and since they obviously don't use Phase manipulation.... yeah.

The Dainsleif calamities appearing in the "World" would shatter it like glass much like True Gremlin would, albeit they're obviously weaker.

You are a fucking idiot. Use some logic and start thinking. Can't you read or something? The story says that, the story itself says that the act of destroying all phases still creates a new phase.

Dude, the book has told you several times that the Magic God does not destroy anything, but only creates. That is the essence of God, a being that only creates.
Okay and this is relevant why? It just supports the fact that the hidden world phase is special.
Ehhh, why did I ever tell you that Aleister Crowley did not destroy the hidden world, but only the wall that separates the world of the magical gods from the material world.
And you know who said that the Magic God doesn't destroy anything, Kamachi himself through the story. You don't differentiate between the Universe and the Phases. The Universe is the Universe and the Phases are the Phases. Phases exist beyond the Sefirot of the human world, and the Magical Gods are limited/attached to the surface of the Four Worlds, unable to leave it (it is even said that Phases beings cannot exist in the human world because of their soul rank, and their fall to the lower worlds causes the distortion of the Four Worlds).
Where did you get this new canvas thing anyway? The canvas is the Pure World Phase and the colors are the Phases, so where did you get the whole "new canvas" thing? Dude, they Magical Gods can't destroy the canvas(Pure World).
Eh, you know that the throwing of the spear is still an act of creation (even though it distorts time and space), so why the farce? The throwing of the spear is the creation of a new phase, that is, the manifestation of God's power in the form of destruction. Birdway reproduces the power of God, which is to destroy by creating.
You don't even know how phases are created. Phases existed in the form of energy long before humans, but it humans who gave them shape and color. Phases are nothing more than clumps of energy that have taken on a particular shape because of human beliefs or the actions of a magical god. But the magic gods cannot destroy them, at most they can hide them by creating a new phase. Only mechanisms like IB (WR) are able to return phase energies to their original form. Using the analogy of a canvas and paint, IB is like a palette knife that allows you to remove the paint from the canvas. Narrative sees the act of destroying all phases as something global that will affect the entire world, not just the human world.
Yes, the magic gods are retarded who stuck in God's territory, unable to leave. They are losers, a dead-end branch of human evolution.
I talked about Othinus destroying Phases two years or a few months ago. I changed my decision about that question.

Remind me, can the Liquid Proof Railgun even be calc'd?

Because I'm pretty sure there was an odd statement or two potentially putting the Calculate Fortress surrounding the Windowless Building up pretty high (and thus the LPR) which would scale to a whole bunch of top tiers, including Mathers who literally tanked the LPR from what I remember.

Okay? I'm fine with agreeing that Othinus destroys through creation. What I disagree with is the fact that you think Othinus and the Magic Gods can't and didn't actually destroy anything.

And it still seems you can't see the difference between the actual narrative saying something and fucking speculation. Despite me spelling it out....

Dude, the book has told you several times that the Magic God does not destroy anything, but only creates. That is the essence of God, a being that only creates.

Yes but as Touma said she can create destruction such as creating a pile of rubble, she can still destroy through creation.

Also

This is a lot easier than destroying everything and building it back up every time.

No Othinus herself says is that she can destroy, just that creation even if it's akin to destruction is easier.


Ehhh, why did I ever tell you that Aleister Crowley did not destroy the hidden world, but only the wall that separates the world of the magical gods from the material world.

Where? Which volume is this stated in? Cause in NT 12 Aleister has been explicitly stated to have destroyed the hidden world.




Where did you get this new canvas thing anyway? The canvas is the Pure World Phase and the colors are the Phases, so where did you get the whole "new canvas" thing? Dude, they Magical Gods can't destroy the canvas(Pure World).

The canvas are the world's they can create, phases.

It simply means that there's a bigger canvas beneath it all they can't destroy.

Also in the context of the volume itself, the canvas is referring to the universe, not pure world.

Which is just another reason why Touma's wrong and the statement is retarded, because she already destroyed the universe.




Okay, I can accept that if you agree that it would actually destroy the world and not 'cover it up'.

Though again it is said that replica Gungnir doesn't have the magic god Othinus ability to create only to replicate the destruction she can perform.

Also lmao accusing me of being farcical when this entire argument been a farce of ignoring the books.


You don't even know how phases are created.
I do but okay.

But the magic gods cannot destroy them, at most they can hide them by creating a new phase.

Where is this said? Not in your headcanon but in the story? Because Othinus destroyed phases. And Magic Gods can also do it. Literally arguing against Kamachi here.



Only mechanisms like IB (WR) are able to return phase energies to their original form.

No, Imagine Breaker is a reset button that can restore the universe and phases if the magic gods mess around to much or destroy them, it is never said to do anything with phase energies unless there inside the universe. In other world it's headcanon.

Narrative sees the act of destroying all phases as something global that will affect the entire world, not just the human world.
Bruh what? Othinus effected the entire world to. So do the magic gods. The human world is just the universe dude.

Also you keep saying phases are energy and shit but that's only when phase beings enter the universe?

It's explicitly said in NT18 that sparks are the cause of phases hitting each other.

And in NT9 Othinus talks about the physical mythical locations like Olympus and heaven.

Or the fact that the universes Othinus tortured Touma in were phases. Is Touma an energy being now?

Phases themselves being energy is not something ever said.

Phase beings however, when they enter the universe become energy. But nothing is ever said about them being energy outside of the universe.

In fact its the opposite.


Here it's said that the Dainslef calamities aren't the phase beings themselves but their power forced into a container.


And here where Vishnu was summoned incompletely as a energy amalgam.

Everything points to phases being physical things that contain physical beings but when there summoned in the universe they or a portion of there power becomes energy.


Yes, the magic gods are retarded who stuck in God's territory, unable to leave. They are losers, a dead-end branch of human evolution.

I was being sarcastic... The magic gods obviously know more about the world and their powers than Touma.

Aleister for some reason just can't kill them plot I guess
I always interpreted it as them still being able to at least manage a universe level feat somehow. Nephyths could so the rest could have smuggled something in and using Big Bangs is a kinda crude method. Aleister may have wanted AAA or Aiwass since they are more specialized and would handle more scenario's like impromptu embedding of a phase, which a Big Bang won't give him options to do.

Either that or Aleister couldn't cast Big Bang without having the Blasting Rod to amp himself in some manner or using the Blasting Rod to amp the indefensibility of the Spell. It's kind of a mind affecting spell so it's a bit weird it touches Magic Gods who should be immune to stuff like that.

I'm just gonna say this @Mr.OMG.

Magic Gods being only able to create is never explicitly denied yes, but it's never been explicitly confirmed either. And there's more evidence that they can both create and destroy than just create.

When Touma says that Othinus hadn't destroyed anything, Othinus simply says that what she's been doing is creating Phases to throw Touma in giving him the illusion of the world being destroyed and recreated, not that she was actually doing that because it's easier than actually destroying everything and recreating the world everytime.

She never says she cannot destroy nor does that destruction require Phase creation.

And again when she does in fact destroy the world, it's always referred to as destruction not creation.

Touma simply speculates that it could be the effect of phase creation, but this isn't actually confirmed.

In fact Replica Gungnir kinda confirms the opposite, it explicitly only has the power of Othinus's destruction not creation.

Because of this it cannot recreate the world like Othinus.

And again True Magic Gods at full power can destroy the world, not through phase creation but because the world cannot handle their infinite power.

And when nerfed they still have the power to destroy the entire world but can't recreate it because they lost their phase creation abilities.

So there's more evidence that Othinus's and the Magic Gods ability to destroy the universe and phases are separate from there ability to create from their own words.

Also I see that your trying to force the real life Sephiroth into Toaru. Which just doesn't work.

Just because a story takes elements from real life mythology doesn't mean those elements are one to one.

You think the guys who came up with Judaism also came up with Aiwass? No Aiwass was an angel Crowley came up with while on drugs. That Kamachi then took from and put in toaru.

We don't even have confirmation that phases exists in one of the four worlds in toaru yet here you are saying that they aren't physical.

That's why you get stupid shit like Magic Gods apparently being retarded, Touma knowing more about phases and there own powers than them and somehow the narrative being wrong about there ability to destroy the world.

Yeah it's kind of weird that he can fight them at full power with Blasting Rod/Spiritual Tripping but still struggle to kill them even after they get nerfed twice

Who said he could fight them? High Priest made it clear he could beat him even with the Zombie nerf spell.

Crowley can’t combat a Magic God on his own, needing to both severely nerf them and while using the AAA or with Aiwass

To celebrate the works of art she leaves this world with to remember her by, here’s all the major works on Toaru she provided.

Performed for both endings of Index II




I personally loved the contrast between these two endings. First ones cheery and energetic while the second ending is more somber, reflecting the darker tone this series was going into around this time with arcs featuring Accelerator and the higher stakes as Index II ended with a prelude to WWIII

Also provided the intro for the PSP game that to this day I wish we got.



By Index III, Mami Kawada, who provided all the openings of Index before, had retired from singing. Maon would fill in the shoes and boy did she ever, providing two banger intros for an otherwise muddled adaptation of the second half of the Index series.
