Attack Potency: Low Macroverse level, likely High Hyperverse level+ (Defeated the Woman in White, who had power over an infinite amount of Rooms) | High Ascendent level (Exists beyond any possible level of transcendence that the Blubbering King could have done, and effortlessly defeated him) | High Ascendent level (Grew incredibly greater than the gap between the Nothing and himself, then the gap between his new level and that Nothing, surpassing the concept of himself to an even finer peak, again, then again, on into infinity, and right after ascended into an uncountably, unimaginably infinite number of times, each dwarfing the last in its leap ahead. After defeating the Beast, he yet again ascended further, reaching a strength greater than that which he could ever reach by his surges from that Nothing alone, no matter how many times he took one step further, and stacked and multiplied and layered them upon uncountable, unthinkable, exponentially infinite leaps of growth-from-himself, thus reaching the first level of the Tower) | High Ascendent level (Climbed through all the Great Floors of the Tower, and later absorbed the Tower into himself, ascending to a degree whereas all of his previous transcendences would be only a single push-up, a single bicep curl, a half-hearted pull-up in comparison to this new boon) | High Ascendent level (After reaching the Garden, Nikies at-once transcends himself again and again, each time by a gap greater than that between his current state and that Less-Than-Nothing he had once encountered, and unreachable from all those in the past combined, every new transcendence so great in its leap forward that it retroactively extends the previous by a degree greater than itself and all the rest together, cascading into a sea of unthinkable infinity. Could grasp the Allthing on his hand, encompassing it) | High Ascendent level (Exists as the true form of the Byzantine, the Greater Source and narrator that resides in the Out There, a world where the Byzantine avatar and his story are nothing more than fiction)
