'''Great Demon Lord Loyce Hal''', also known as  '''Inner Shadow Empire''', is the legendary Demon King, easily standing as one of the strongest characters in Darwin's Great Akuma Universe, and potentially the multiverse. Considered by many as the most powerful SS+ Rated Inner Shadow of the infamous '''Black Legion Organization''', Hal's tremendous reputation is succeeded by his feats. His followers are extremely powerful and numerous, from conquering thousands upon thousands of universes and creating countless more realities.
  
"''You are not afraid to die? There is only one thing a being fears more than dying; and that is to die more than once. That shall be your punishment; to die a gruesome, painful, terrifying and inevitable death, only to be revived, and to experience it once more, the pain, the fear, only ever getting worse. Over and over again. Your entrails, your body, disemboweled before your very eyes. Each death more horrific than the next. For all eternity. Do not come for this world again. It is not yours to conquer, but mine.''"
+
He is one of the major antagonists in Darwin's Great Akuma Universe. As of Beyond the Gods, Loyce is the greatest threat, seconded to '''Vala the Spirit of Hope'''.

"''A power that rules, not just the domain enclosing oneself, but beyond. This is the strength our Master possesses, a strength necessary to not just conquer realms, but to rule it with indisputable power. You dare have the gall to boast about your power as a Demon Lord. But for every hundred worlds you've destroyed, our Master has destroyed AND created thousands.  You are not at his level. Not ever.''"
  
'''Great Demon Lord Loyce Hal''', codenamed '''Empire''', is the penultimate strongest primordial demon in existence, as well as an SS+ Rated Inner Shadow to the '''Black Legion'''. Possessing tremendous magical power capable of bending not only reality but entire narratives, Loyce managed to conquer an uncountable number of magical realms, reaching the thousands, and rule each one as their respective Demon Lord. His followers are both extremely powerful and numerous. If a realm does not interest Loyce and showed hostility, it is said that the entire universe is destroyed instantly and mercilessly by the Demon Lord, traces of the world seemingly never having existed in the first place, before moving on to the next.

Loyce is an overwhelmingly powerful being, even amongst the Inner Shadows, to the point where his very presence strikes fear and intimidation from many. He is currently the second strongest Inner Shadow, and the third strongest member of the entire Black Legion, his power surpassed only by SSS Rated Inner Shadow '''Hakah Mah''' and the SSS Rated leader of the organization, '''Lord Ginga'''. Due to the fact that the only people able to surpass his power are SSS Rated, Loyce is even stronger than SS+ Rated '''Jun Gasket''', making him the strongest SS+ Rated Inner Shadow in the Black Legion.
 
  
According to the '''Voice of the Worlds''', a reality warping entity who was defeated by the Demon Lord, Loyce is considered the highest tier form of sentience to take mortal physical form in any universe. As the only being to ever evolve to the state of Ultimate Primordial Demon, with the Primordial Demon species being the apex species, Loyce is considered the pinnacle of all monsters in his realms, with an extremely select few beings capable of matching or surpassing his power such as elite Dogma Holders, '''The Great Akuma''', as well as her direct offspring '''Mahyako''' and '''Avalon'''. He is the Ultimate Divine Demon Lord of the universes '''Isphixis''', '''Raehafil''', and '''Johal''', ruling each realm as its strongest, most powerful being to ever exist. Because of this, Loyce has also amassed numerous Demon Lords who have sworn loyalty to him due to the overwhelming gap in power. These Demon Lords have acted as his Outer Shadows on several occasions, and their armies, directly assimilated under his loyalty.
+
Loyce is among one of the undisputed, strongest threats to the entirety of the Great Akuma Reality Continuity. In terms of intellect and power, Loyce has repeatedly proved himself to be unparalleled to the point where even indirect intervention by the Demon Lord is capable of completely turning the tide of a confrontation. Loyce's might is so tremendous that many of his followers and subordinates were either forced to submit or voluntarily surrendered; such subordinates included extremely powerful Demon Lords themselves, or beings with power that rivaled or surpassed such a ranking. When Inner Shadows John Crassman and Jason Hellion learned of Aaron Hope's declaration to challenge Loyce, both Inner Shadows personally confronted the Outer Shadow, outright telling Hope that he stood no chance against Loyce. The Inner Shadows even went as far as to reveal that aside from Hakah, Loyce was in a class of his own and could easily singlehandedly defeat the rest of the Inner Shadows in the Black Legion.
  
Loyce was also the superior of the First Hinokami Holder '''Aelienne the Firebird''', before her betrayal to the Black Legion.
 
  
 +
'''Ultimate Primordial Demon Physiology''': As the only Primordial Demon to reach the final evolution stage of Ultimate Primordial, Loyce exhibits immense and borderline unparalleled power that has only ever been eclipsed by beings such as '''The Great Akuma''' and her trusted successors, offspring, and descendants. Loyce is also the strongest Primordial demon in history; his power even surpasses that of Supreme Primordial '''Sena Ark''', the first Primordial and mother of all Primordial demons.
  
==UNTIL Case Report==
+
* '''Tremendous Physical Strength''': Loyce has demonstrated nearly unmatched and immense levels physical strength. A single punch from Loyce was enough to completely disperse and nullify the gravitational effects of '''Kapstan 667''', a supermassive black hole billions of times the size of the Sun. Loyce's strength was to the point where he was able to deflect the strikes of '''Shosuke "The Devil Monk" Shiki''''s One Strike Kill style with only a finger, with little to no effort. Even with the combined efforts of '''The Skyworld''' pooling their energy into '''Archangel Erafil''', Loyce was able to defeat the Demon Lord in four strikes while holding back.
'''BY ORDER OF SECRETARY-MARSHALL WILHELM CARL ECKHARDT'''
+
* '''Unmatched Speed''': Loyce is capable of performing unbelievable feats of speed, easily outpacing speedsters, and exceeding the speed of light by several orders of magnitude. When in battle, Yeling described Loyce as "moving so fast that he was practically invisible. By the time he had slowed down, it would be too late. There would be no way someone could react to his attacks no matter how prepared or sloppily he had executed them."
 +
* '''Immortality and Invulnerability''': Loyce's durability has been described as nigh unparalleled. Capable of withstanding the combined magical unison of the galaxy's strongest mages and warriors during his crusade to conquer the world of '''Demon Lord Leon Valentine''', Loyce's immense durability is layered onto his near-infinite regeneration. Due to the combined effects of invulnerability and regeneration, Loyce is considered practically immortal to almost all opponents he has faced.
 +
* '''Tremendous Magical Power''': Loyce possesses an extraordinarily high amount of magic power, so monumental, that even with fellow SS+ Rated Inner Shadow Jun Gasket using '''Stage Five Hachi''', is incapable of quantifying. The sheer aura of Loyce's magical power, even when suppressed, is considered so overwhelming that lesser creatures such as Shadow Minions, and even ordinary human beings, suffer a sensation of "immense pressure from within their bodies". At higher levels of combat power, Loyce is capable of passively disintegrating entire planets and civilizations just from his aura alone, which he uses to intimidate and force servitude on those who deny their allegiance, particularly lesser Demon Lords.
  
The following Case File concerns an '''Existential Cosmic Threat Class''' capable of '''Extreme Multiversal Destruction'''.
 
  
'''Access to this file without appropriate Cosmic Confidentiality Clearance is strictly forbidden. Under no circumstances, must the contents of this file ever be leaked beyond this level of confidentiality, to avoid mass panic to the galactic scale.'''
+
'''Alogigenesis - The Comedy of Divinity''': An extremely powerful and vast esoteric ability that enables Loyce to manipulate, create, and destroy realities, narratives, plot armor, and even the plot of storylines depending on his frame of the narrative. It is unknown how Loyce obtained his power, but it was assumed that the power to warp reality was inherent to the final stage of evolution for a Primordial. This was the power that gave Loyce his terrifying reputation even amongst fellow esoterics due to his power to skillfully bend and shape the rules of the world around him in his favor. Loyce's mastery over manipulating reality was so skilled, that he had denoted the ability a "Divine Comedy", as he believed his mastery over a power so inconceivable and incomparable was "comical to divine proportions". Having defeated many reality-warping entities during his conquest, Loyce was considered the "King of the Esoterics". Using Divine Comedy, Loyce has been able to:
 +
* Neutralize the concept of a character's narrative, such as eliminating Apex Primordial Kon the Worldkiller's '''Absolute Dominion''', which was a power that provided him with '''Infinite Strength'''.
 +
* Dethrone '''Queen Celene''', the goddess of her universe by destroying her concept of being the "strongest entity to exist no matter any conditions".
 +
* Create thousands upon thousands of universes while simultaneously destroying the same number of realities from a single thought.
 +
* Force Tyrannon the Conquerer to experience fear.
 +
* Create and destroy time.
 +
* Eliminate the concept of fate itself, changing the destiny of Hana Alzeron, who was fated to become the wife of Archdemon Jemiel.
 +
* Warp reality to whatever he wishes, regardless of reason.
 +
* Transcend narratives and realities.
 +
* Outsmart countless narrative and reality-bending individuals in a battle of "reason" and "law bending".
 +
* Defeat Stage Four Susanoo Hakah Mah and Stage Four Hinokami Yeling Mah simultaneously.
 +
* Reset Vicki Harriet's moral compass.
 +
* Destroy and recreate Millennium City hundreds of times over without anyone realizing.
 +
* Defeat Kigatilik with a single ice-based spell, bypassing Kigatilik's inherent concept of ice resistance.
 +
* Freeze the supergiant blue star, Rigel.
 +
* Defeat Lucifer in his own domain.
 +
* Harm his own creator/author, by inflicting several wounds and scratches which manifested themselves overnight on the author's body in a higher narrative.
 +
* Overwhelm Shosuke Shiki and Aaron Hope by willing them to be petrified by just his name alone.
 +
* Contain and weaponize '''anti-narratives''', such as '''Supreme Primordial Aran Sol'''.
 +
* Eliminate the effects of Aaron's signature Black Bullets

===Statement on Containment and Control===
+
'''Genius Level Intellect and Combat Knowledge''': As a Primordial, Loyce belongs to a race of beings who were the first known entities to display '''intelligence''' in the history of the universe. According to Kon Larum, it was the Primordials who suggested the offshoot of intelligence to other organisms, and thus from them came mankind, a race of beings who displayed '''evolving intelligence'''. Loyce's intelligence has been shown to be one of the most dangerous qualities that cemented his position as an Ultimate Divine Demon Lord, as well as his knowledge of warfare, nation-building, strategy, cunningness, and trickery. Even amongst other Primordials, Loyce had displayed an intellect that was significantly higher than his peers due to his affirmation to continuously acquire knowledge through omnicidal conquests in the multiverse. Some examples of Loyce's feats include:
As of current, there has been no method to effectively contain or control 2694 other than to keep the subject non hostile. Subject has been capable of predicting events and appears to transcend the human conception of time, leading to the advantage of foresight. Any form of containment has been deemed impossible, due to 2694's ability to either alter the reality around himself, or to forcefully destroy the containment.
+
* Outsmarting SS+ Rated Jun Gasket in tactical warfare, using only forty thousand foot soldiers to defeat Gasket's Machine Kingdom of seventy trillion.
 +
* Defeating SSS Rated Hakah Mah by psychologically influencing her power using her brother, Yeling.
 +
* Inventing forty-seven new forms of magic using a single runic transcript, an accomplishment that could not be achieved in the history of several millennia by the top mages of Leon Valentine's world.
 +
* Wield celestial magic, despite being a Primordial Demon, by identifying and adjusting the details of his rune summoning, patterns that differ only by several micrometers.
 +
* Completely assess the fighting style, strengths, weaknesses, and combat profile, and deduce the past, present, and future of an enemy army amounting to eight nine million soldiers, for each and every single soldier through a single glance.
 +
* Best Aaron Hope in a battle of wits and gunplay, despite the latter being infamously known for being the greatest gunman in the entirety of the Black Legion easily.
 +
* Outsmart and defeat Ra'vin the Tribunal, the vast cosmic entity and embodiment of the multiverse, without using Alogigenesis and only relying on his Primordial physical abilities.

''Surhoff: If, for argument's sake, we were to decide that your actions may lead to a threat to our people, what would you do in response to any containment attempts?''
+
'''Magecraft''': Due to Loyce's massive mana reserves and his ingenuity, the magnitude of the Demon Lord's magical spells is tremendous. Even the most primitive of spells have been described by Loyce's victims to be overwhelming, to the point where they were often mistaken as legendary class spells.
 +
* '''100% Mana Efficiency''': Historically, the conversion of a mage's mana to energy, be it kinetic, heat, or potential, was at most 46% efficient due to losses from a variety of factors including chant inefficiency, runic inefficiency, and biological spell execution losses. However, Loyce invented a new way of performing spells, by converting the mana flowing within his body to the primitive energy of the spell, allowing the primitive energy to distribute into its subsequent child forms that made up the spell's energy profile. Doing so allowed Loyce to shatter all understanding of how spells were performed, and for the first time, allow spells to be executed at 100% efficiency. Because of this, the scale of his spells was considered significantly higher than other mages, even when using only a fraction of his mana.
 +
* '''Elite Spell Mastery''': Loyce demonstrated expert to grandmaster level mastery of all forms of magecraft, performing all spells and their child spells flawlessly and at absurd magnitudes. A single [Flare Burst], thought to be an elementary-level spell, was comparable to the size of a planetary star. An [Aqua Shot] performed by Loyce was to the level of a tsunami. This was likely due to the fact that Loyce possessed both tremendous mana reserves, but also his ability to call upon these spells at an impossible 100% efficiency.
 +
** '''Supercosmic Level Magic''': A level of magic that was thought to be impossible, as the upper threshold of magic used by its practitioners was Cosmic Magic, Loyce's seemingly infinite mana reserves meant he was capable of calling upon a level of magic even further Cosmic Magic, which later coined the term "Supercosmic". Loyce was the first to weaponize magic to this level and is both the pioneer and only known user of Supercosmic Magic. An example of this level of magic is Loyce's version of '''Supercosmic Aspectum''', which allows him to access the complete profile of anything he encounters through any of his senses. This includes their weaknesses, strengths, habits, and fighting styles.
 +
* '''Yvvir - The Legendary Spell of Resurrection''': A taboo branch in magecraft that involved resurrecting the dead. Thought to be a myth, until Loyce resurrected a criminal that he had slaughtered who was caught defiling the Church of Babel, which Loyce became fond of. Loyce was capable of calling [Yvvir] multiple times on the same target, as shown when Loyce continuously slaughtered and resurrected the same criminal over and over again in a rage after discovering that the criminal had been assaulting the women and children of the church.
 +
* '''Raava - The Legendary Spell of Fate Manipulation''': A forbidden and extremely complex branch in magecraft involving traveling within the time stream and undoing the inevitabilities of an individual or select region of a universe's future. [Raava] has only been used by two individuals in history. The first time [Raava] was called was when a renowned grandmaster mage known as Emiol called upon the spell to undo his son's death after traveling back in time. Though successful, Emiol was then enslaved for eternity to serve as a Time Keeper by Ra'vin Da Saar, a child branch of Ra'vin the Tribunal. When [Raava] was called for the second time in history by Loyce to save the fate of the Babel Church, Emiol was forced by Da Saar to execute Loyce but was defeated instantly. Loyce then used Alogigenesis to completely eliminate the concept of needing to preserve the stream of fate while keeping the timeline intact, then proceeded to delete Ra'vin Da Saar from existence, explaining that by using Divine Comedy, a Time Keeper was no longer required as it was now part of the narrative that "the timeline remains intact no matter what". Since then, Loyce has been able to call upon Raava whenever needed.
 +
* '''Origin Magic Ard Metria - The Affirmation of Self''': Origin Magic is a branch of magecraft that was invented by Loyce solely for the purpose of retaining his sense of self, should any attempt of possession be made. This discovery of magic was first observed by Rya the Celestial, who, in a desperate attempt to protect her master, Kon the Worldkiller, attempted to possess Loyce's origin soul and prevent him from using 80% of his Ultimate Primordial abilities and his Alogigenesis, to allow Kon to fight on par with the superior Primordial Demon. Upon attempting to possess Loyce, Rya was struck by [Ard Metria], which was powerful enough to fully incapacitate the Great Celestial and send her comatose for seven months.
 +
** '''Logic Bending Origin Magic - Absolute Self''': Though powerful, it is possible for [Ard Metria] to be bypassed by beings of incredible magical prowess, as shown when Rya attempts to possess Loyce once more but uses the full power of her Great Celestial abilities. If by chance, [Ard Metria] is bypassed, Loyce is capable of enhancing the spell even further by removing such limitations using Alogigenesis, to evolve the spell into a Self Affirmation that is absolute, meaning by the narrative of the character and storyline, it is impossible for Loyce to be possessed. To break past [Absolute Self] one must bypass the narrative, by engaging in a battle of reason on a higher level of narrative. An extension behind [Absolute Self] is that by passively retaining this spell, Loyce's Alogigenesis ability cannot be replicated, as it is a part of his sense of self. This passive ability also appears to be immune to anti-magic, as shown when Aaron Hope attempted to use his [Black Bullet Barrage] on Loyce to no effect.
  
''2694: What an entertaining question. Perhaps this time I shall choose to do nothing.''

==Weaknesses==

"''There is no satisfaction to being the penultimate. And even if one does experience what is like to be at the top, can they really stay this way for eternity? I have the power to change narratives and realities. But despite how much I try to eliminate the concept of being unsatisfied... I fail each time. This is the flaw behind my character. This is the flaw my cruel author has put on me. I don't want to just die, Yeling. I want to cease to exist.''"
  
''Surhoff: This time? What do you mean by do nothing?''
+
- Loyce Hal
 +
</center>
  
''2694: I will do nothing. Because I know from here onwards, your people will become aware that there is absolutely nothing you could do to contain me.''
 
  
''Surhoff: How so?''
+
'''Nihilism and Desire for Mortality''': Loyce has repeatedly stated that he does not find satisfaction in his power. And due to his immortality, he cannot be killed even if defeated. This degree of nihilism was such to the point where Loyce contemplated repeatedly battling and defying '''Lord Ginga''' and '''Hakah Mah''' in hopes of being destroyed for good, though the effort only left him defeated and on the brink of death, but "not quite there". A large part behind Hal's defection from his responsibilities as an Inner Shadow to provoke Hakah using Yeling has been for this reason. Despite this level of nihilism, Loyce has at times, hesitated in finding ways to end his existence due to his subordinates, with whom he has taken a mentoring role.
  
''2694: Suppose one tried to enclose a creature in a cage. But the room is too dark to see. Too muffled to hear. Too rancid to smell. How certain will they know they have enclosed the creature?''
+
'''The Great Akuma and Lord Ginga''': Despite possessing the immense reality-warping power of Alogigenesis, Loyce has admitted that he is incapable of defeating neither the Akuma nor Ginga, due to the two being capable of neutralizing and withstanding Loyce's Alogigensis reality warping and narrative bending attacks. This passive ability also extends to the children of the Akuma, such as '''Mahyako''', '''Avalon''', and their descendants, including '''Diana Avarice''', '''Hakah Mah''' and '''Yeling Mah'''. Due to being immune to Alogigenesis, Loyce must resort to his Ultimate Primordial abilities, though despite the handicap, has proven to be still an extremely difficult and borderline impossible opponent to put down.
  
''Surhoff: I suppose... it would be impossible.''
+
'''Darwin / User Cathollicr''': Loyce's author and creator. If chosen to do so, the very concept of Loyce being immortal could be eliminated entirely by changing the narrative of Loyce being incapable of using Alogigenesis on his own mortality.
 
+
</font>
''2694: And why is that, Chief Surhoff?''
+
 
+
''Surhoff: We wouldn't be able to know. Because our senses would be disabled.''
+
 
+
''2694: Yes. Because your senses have been taken out of the question. Now extend this scenario to the containment of me. I can take away your senses, yes. But I can do so much more. I can completely eliminate the concept of needing to smell, to see, to hear, to feel... the very concept that a human must require stimulus to experience the world around them, I can will that out of existence. I can even will the cage to not even exist in the first place. I can will that the need to contain me was never there.''
+
 
+
''Luni: Surhoff, we need to take the precaution that 2694's claims may not be true. It could all be a psychological disorder.''
+
 
+
''2694: You don't believe me, Agent Luni?''
+
 
+
''Luni: How did you-''
+
 
+
(Clattering)
+
 
+
''2694: Belief. Trust. Your doubts play into the narrative that you don't see me as what I claim to be, and I tell you the truth, there are many here who feel the same way. I know it, because I have seen it. They doubt me, then they fear that doubt, and have attempted to contain me. I have killed your people many times. In many different ways. Through will. Through force. Through magic and through manipulation. The paths all converge to one, unless the belief is changed. And I can do that.''
+
 
+
''Luni: What are you talking about? To see? Are you saying you can predict the future now?''
+
 
+
''2694: How do you know we haven't already had this conversation? In the blink of an eye, I could have destroyed this entire universe, along with the people in it, and reversed the whole thing like it never even happened. Within that split second of indecision, Luni, how certain are you that I haven't already killed you but revived you immediately?''

Absolutely under no circumstances, must any contact with Subject 2694 be made due to his unpredictable nature. If in an emergency situation, contact with 2694 is required, it must be done on his accord.
+
 
+
===Powers and Abilities===
+
Subject 2694 is an extremely dangerous reality warping entity capable of manipulation to a vast level. The subject claims its name to be '''Loyce Hal''' and had come to "investigate our world for potential". Upon being asked for further clarification, Hal provided none. Since then, Hal's whereabouts are unknown.
+
 
+
In terms of power, the being known as Loyce Hal has demonstrated manipulation of reality to an extremely high level of mastery. Hal refers to his ability as '''Divine Comedy Reality Warping''', claiming that his ability to "play with the fabric of reality is so refined, that it is almost comical". According to Dossier Section 6.4A, written by Dr. Stroganoff, Ph.D, Stroganoff writes "even amongst reality warping entities, 2694 is on a class of his own. Exhibiting the ability to completely overwhelm fellow reality warping users and even seemingly take the place of an apex in the hierarchy, this entity is amongst the upper echelon of the upper echelon."
+
 
+
It is currently unknown what the limit of Hal's powers are, as the scope of his abilities are too gargantuan to theoretically quantify with current analytical techniques. The only "apparent" weakness Hal has is his sense of boredom, and it is through this sense of apathy to our world, that he has spared it from destruction.
+
 
+
 
+
'''As of this document's compilation, we of the highest officials of UNTIL have identified the following abilities demonstrated by Subject 2694:'''
+
 
+
'''Violation of the First Law - Destruction and Creation''': Hal has demonstrated the ability to not only create, but to ''destroy all forms of matter, energy, space, and by extension, time itself'', simply by willing it. In terms of destruction, the said object is simply removed from existence completely. Depending on the severity, Hal can destroy the object to the point where all forms of recollection that the object ever existed in the first place is also destroyed. This also implies that Hal is capable of ''destroying the very concept'' of an object itself. Conversely, the creation of an object, as well as time, has also been exhibited by 2694. Examples include the '''Rigel Incident''', in which the supergiant star Rigel of the Orion Constellation was ''erased from existence for a span of five hours'', only to be recreated seemingly instantly. Hal has also demonstrated the ability to create time, a term he denotes as '''Chronogenesis''', seemingly creating time and space in a region such that in the point of view of those within this space, would witness time flow relative to themselves while the outside world is frozen.
+
 
+
'''Neutralization of Logic and Reason "Divine Comedy"''': Hal's reality bending abilities are capable of not only destruction of matter, space, and time, but also the very fabric of reason. According to numerous case studies, researchers have bore witness to 2694 defying the laws of physics, including gravity negation, force neutralization and physical property manipulation. Examples of Hal using this concept collapsing ability include moving at unfathomable speeds, travelling from planet to planet in a fraction of a second, and surpassing the speed of light without manipulating space and time. Hal's power to completely eliminate logic and reasoning has also taken the form of insurmountable physical strength. Case Report 56E writes "Subject 2694 has demonstrated strength far surpassing any other being studied thus far... the entity known as Loyce Hal was shown to be capable of sinking and altering plate tectonics with just the movements of a finger. The being is capable of strength far exceeding reason."
+
* '''The Staircase of Endless Spirals''': Upon being asked to demonstrate his logic neutralization ability, Hal transported a group of UNTIL officers into a strange dimension that consisted of what they testified as a "series of stairs leading to impossible trajectories, twists and convolutions that were geometrically impossible". The realm consisted of numerous geometric contradictions that had caused the officers to be overwhelmed with a sense of "mind breaking mania".
+
* '''Schrodinger's Eclipse''': During Interview 7E, UNTIL Task Force 67WE449  transported Hal to the location of '''Kigatilik''' to test his Divine Comedy power. Hal approached the fellow Demon King and reportedly overwhelmed him easily. Upon being asked to elaborate, the Task Force explained that it was as if the god was experiencing "excruciating burning and freezing at the same time, temperature extremes that logically would not be possible to happen at the same time."
+
* '''Absolute Word''': The extent of this ability is currently unknown. However, based on what we have observed thus far, Hal has demonstrated the ability to manifest whatever he says into reality. Physical consequences that would otherwise cascade from any changes to reality around Hal are otherwise negated or neglected, meaning the power's scope can not only manifest the uttered word, but could also warp the surroundings such that the world would be affected in a way Hal desires. Hal demonstrated this ability by commanding the moon '''Io''' to be erased from existence without causing gravitational anomalies, and to the disbelief of numerous astronomers who observed the moon and its gravitational fields, the moon was disintegrated instantly.
+
 
+
'''Absolute Chronokinesis''': Overwhelming evidence suggests that Subject 2694's perception of time far surpasses any entity encountered thus far by UNTIL. Being passively capable of not just perception of the future, but also to ''travel to different points in the timestream'', Hal has been able to predict and alter events that would have taken place, as well as events that have already happened. By doing so, Hal made the claim that "[he had] already destroyed [our] world a hundred times over, as mankind had deemed [him] too much of a threat, while taking [his] claims as a farce, only to have it restored as if nothing happened in the first place". On one occasion, the vigilante '''Nighthawk''' engaged 2694 in a duel, and was incapable of gaining any advantage despite 2694 only relying on physical hand to hand combat. Testimony from Nighthawk claims "his movements and his speed was clearly held back, I knew that much, but even with the extreme handicap, it was as if Loyce was able to predict my movements before I could even execute them. Even feints and psychological elements could not get through to him."
+
 
+
'''Ultimate Primordial Demon Physiology''': In accordance to ancient texts regarding primal creatures provided by Bethany "Witchcraft" Duquesne, the Primordial Demon race was a species that existed even before the appearance of the progenitors of humankind, making them one of the oldest creatures to walk the realm. Extraordinarily powerful variants of demons, the Primordials were said to be both cunning and strong, fighting with both wit and absolute power combined making them the apex species.
+
 
+
Witchcraft has provided the following information in a confidential document. An excerpt from this document has been pulled detailing the characteristics of the species.

| <strong>Duquesne's Document on the Primordial Demon</strong>
+
|-
+
| ''If the need to inquire about the primordials has arisen, that means our situation is dire to the existential level. Of all the entities to exist in this world, it was the primordials who developed the one trait that humanity possesses that has allowed us to rise to the current apex. Intelligence. A long time ago, the Duquesne family had once summoned a being who claimed to be a Superior Primordial Demon. The Demon went by the name of '''Dasc''', and despite claiming his body had been severely weakened from having been recently summoned, demonstrated magical power far surpassing the witches. My ancestors had to call upon families and bloodlines of all in the magic community, this included the Hartwig and Caliburn family, predecessors of the well known super villain Valerian Scarlet and Robert Caliburn. It was during this event, known as the Grand Convergence, did the entire magical community of this world do battle against Dasc. Many family lines were eliminated, with very few family lines remaining. Dasc displayed magical power beyond conception, his '''gargantuan raw mana pool''' far exceeded all of the witches and wizards of our world combined by many levels, it was only because of his weakened state were we able to drive him back into his home realm. Dark magic, celestial magic, fire magic, ice magic, fate manipulation, force, even attacks to his spiritual core that required immensely powerful magic circles were '''nullified in his presence'''. Upon casting an extremely intricate anti magic spell on Dasc, we were able to temporarily nullify his magical power, but even so, his inherent physiology was beyond comprehension. '''Invulnerability''' to the point of being able to withstand star level destructive spells made the Superior Primordial nearly impossible to kill. '''Immense strength''' capable of shaking the entire world, and '''unworldly combat instincts''' prevented our world's strongest warriors from engaging the magical titan head on. '''Speed undetectable to the human eye''' prevented us from using our heavy hitting spells, forcing us to rely on faster casting speeds. Even without his magical powers, his very biology as a primordial made him '''comparable to a god'''.''
+
 
+
''Upon Dasc's defeat, he claimed that he was among one of the more common Primordials, as his evolution state was that of a Superior Primordial Demon. This eluded to the fact that '''primordials are capable of evolution'''. Dasc claimed that there were many more evolution stages a primordial would achieve, and with each level, the entity would become stronger and stronger to the point where their power "surpasses that of abstraction". There my ancestors learned of the true horror of the Primordial Demons, as despite our best efforts, they were only able to win against Dasc because of his weakened state and his lack of interest to conquer our world. A Superior Primordial Demon, they were lucky they had summoned one of the weaker primordials. The hierarchy beyond the Superior Primordial goes Supreme Primordial, Apex Primordial, and finally, the '''Ultimate Primordial Demon''', for which Dasc claimed that this state of evolution has never been achieved before, and that its existence is a myth.''

'''Suppression System''': An interesting discussion with 2694 has revealed that in spite of his tremendous power, the subject has actually found difficulty in suppressing it fully. In multiple occasions, fragments of 2694's monstrous aura have been detected by beings with heightened sensory abilities.
+
 
+
[[File:Powerauraloyce.jpeg|500px|thumb|Loyce's monstrous magical aura, witnessed by Doctor Ka]]
+
 
+
One such event was recorded and captured by Vibora Bay Superhero '''Doctor Ka''', in which the superhero witnessed 2694's inherent power outside of his Reality Warping abilities.
+

| <strong>Doctor Ka's Encounter with Subject 2694</strong>
+
|-
+
| ''When I encountered this being, it was as if everything I had prepared for, the apocalypse itself, everything I had feared, the battle between heaven and hell, was all meaningless. Because before me, this... no. Monster doesn't even cut it. This '''absolute power''', it felt like all my fears, all of mankind's fears, pooled together into one man. And that man was this creature who called himself "Loyce Hal". You had asked me, Eckhardt, if it was possible to defeat Hal in the scenario where his reality warping powers were disabled. But this isn't like the time with Dasc. Because when I made the decision to peer into his magical signature, it was the worst mistake I could ever make.''
+
 
+
''Every being has an energy aura. An aura that is comprised of a person's mana, their life force, their strength, their superpowers, even any divine or demonic blessing. The strongest hero I know who has the largest aura was Archmage Robert Caliburn, who's aura was that of a large amethyst the size of an adult cedar tree. As an Archmage, his aura was tremendous, which was expected, as it was what we needed to contain Therakiel. But with Loyce...''
+
 
+
''It was as if I was peering upon a never-ending erupting volcano, endless white trails of colossal, frightening, absolute, power, emerging from his body like the heads of a hydra. And sprouting from his back, was what appeared to be eight long appendages, almost like roots to four pairs of angelic wings. The aura was so explosive, so commanding, so overwhelming. I felt my body ripping apart just from watching at a distance, the sheer pressure of his magical signature causing my skull to crush from the inside. And do you know what the scariest thing is? Even Loyce knew, because once he saw the horror on my face, he smiled with a smile that was so malicious. He told me that my power of vision would blind me. And he was right.''
+
 
+
''Watching as Loyce tried to keep his monstrous power in check, even he couldn't find a way to suppress it all from the eyes of those who could see despite using every form of Reality Warping he could try. And so his solution? Make himself weaker. This terrifying aura that I was witnessing... wasn't even remotely close to what this Primordial Demon was truly capable of. He was holding back the entire time.''

[[File:firstrestraint.jpeg|200px|thumb|Loyce's Second Form, the "High King"]]
+
 
+
[[File:tier3.jpeg|300px|thumb|Loyce's Third Form]]
+
 
+
To simplify the forms 2694 has taken in an act to try to suppress his power as an Ultimate Primordial, we of the UNTIL Organization have denoted a '''Tier System''' to describe his stages. With Tier 1 being the highest level of suppression 2694 has attempted.
+
 
+
'''Tier 1''': This was the form Hal has taken most commonly, the highest level of suppression he claims that keeps his aura from passively destroying everything around himself. This form is his most humanoid appearance.
+
 
+
'''Tier 2''': This form has never been witnessed in person, as the sheer magnitude of the pressure 2694's aura emits would lead to destruction on a global scale. Instead, to witness it, several of our agents, their imaging drones were sent to a different region of space where Hal demonstrated a fraction of what he truly was. Images of 2694's second form were taken on a remote planet, seconds before it and the drone's destruction. During the case study, Loyce claimed that such a form was necessary to "show lesser Demon Lords who were ignorant enough to disregard his humanoid appearance the essence of a real Demon King". This transformation was reportedly capable of passively absorbing the very life force of everything around it, and all forms of energy, entering the dark regions of its "hood". Within seconds of being in this "True Demon Lord Form", the planet began showing signs of death, massive chasms and disintegration of material filled the entire surface, and before any further images of Hal's second form were taken, the planet was already destroyed.
+
 
+
'''Tier 3''': To demonstrate Tier 3, 2694 subjected several UNTIL candidates to a vision in which the eyewitnesses were transported to an even farther region of the universe, where the passive effects of Tier 3 would not cause any direct damage to Earth's reality. However, Hal was only able to maintain Tier 3 for approximately two minutes before the passive reality warping effects of his form began causing numerous anomalies to appear throughout the fabric of reality. Tier 3's form has been described by the witnesses to take the form of a supermassive nebula, with an "eye" at the centre. Ring like structures surrounded the nebula, to which the witnessed described them to resemble "ring shaped black holes, distorting light and reality all around them, even the reality of 2694's body as well." This suggests that in this form, Hal is capable of passively altering reality around himself to the level, if not greater than that, of a supermassive black hole.

==Known Subordinates==
+
According to many sources, Loyce possesses the largest following out of all the Inner Shadows in the Black Legion. This is due to his consistent conquests to take over worlds that he deems useful to him, overwhelming and ruling each as their penultimate strongest being to exist. Loyce's armies are numerous, and for a time, a portion of his military force was enough to pressure SSS Ranked '''Hakah Mah''' briefly at her full power, allowing Loyce to execute his strategy in defeating Yeling's younger sister. The following list is non exhaustive, as Loyce has been said to have conquered and assimilated thousands of universes.
+
 
+
===Outer Shadows===
+
====Directly Reporting to Black Legion====
+
'''Tommy Riordan''': A S~ Ranked Berserker Class. Riordan's real identity is '''Fenrir''', the Norse Wolf God responsible for eating the Sun during Ragnarok. Fenrir was killed the first time, and reincarnated in the form of a human being by the identity of Tommy Riordan, a University undergraduate studying electrical engineering in the University of Iowa with no recollection of his identity. Riordan is capable of manifesting percentages of his former power, usually through a means of projections of a monstrous towering wolf capable of mass destruction. After the passing of Riordan's parents, Tommy decided his life was no longer worth living, and accepted Loyce's offer to become his Outer Shadow to find meaning to his existence. Tommy is the most active member of Loyce's Shadow Force, and rarely spends time off. Tommy has a phobia for tall women, which interestingly contrasts with SS Ranked Outer Shadow '''Aaron Hope''', who has a tall women fetish which he appears to be very proud of.
+
* '''Powers''': Demonic Wolf Manifestation, Immortality
+
* '''Age''': 22
+
* '''Species''': Reincarnation, Part God, Part Jotunn
+
* '''Main Strengths''': Nigh infinite regeneration, in his Wolf Form, can easily destroy legions of enemies quickly
+
* '''Main Weaknesses''': Low strategic skill, easy to be manipulated, evident immature mindset
+
 
+
'''Vicki Harriet''': 
+
[[Image:vharriet001.jpeg|400px|thumb|right| Vicki Harriet, Yeling Mah's Superior and Matthew Lam's Martial Arts Teacher]]
+
 
+
A S Ranked Stealth and Ranged Class. Codenamed "Onyx", Vicki is the reincarnation of the Millennium City Superhero '''Lens'''. It is currently unclear the extent of her reincarnation, but it has been stated that Vicki's soul currently inhabits Lena's original body, leading to many to see the striking similarity. Despite striving to be a hero just like her predecessor, Vicki wanted to do it her own way. While Lens was described by those around her to be kind, sweet, and caring, Vicki is anything but that. Cold, calculating, and violent at times, Onyx's ruthlessness and brutal efficiency in taking down her targets gave her an infamous reputation as "The Millennium Medusa". The fact that Vicki was almost always seen with a cigarette in her mouth, or a hard liquor in her hand (and sometimes both) did not help with her superhero image.
+
 
+
However, despite all these setbacks, Vicki still continued to march forward in her conquest to find meaning in her existence by following Lens' legacy, as a superhero to Millennium City. Fighting Cosmics and taking down super villains alongside other members of UNITY, Vicki's relentless and heroic resolve led to Lens' old superhero sidekick '''Twilight Bolt''' to join her cause, fighting alongside Vicki just as he he did with Lena.
+
 
+
* '''Powers''': Perfect Balance (Enhanced by Loyce), Shadow Speed, Immense Strength Agility and Durability, Instant Ebon Portal Teleportation, Master Dexterity and Marksmanship, Invisibility, Master Fighter, Master Assassin
+
* '''Age''': 19
+
* '''Species''': Remnant Reincarnation
+
* '''Main Strengths''': Detail oriented, pragmatic and problem solving mindset, highly intelligent and analytical. Possesses a reliable well rounded skill set that enables her to do a variety of missions from stealth, to reconnaissance, to assassination, and elimination. Considered the closest to the perfect Outer Shadow.
+
* '''Main Weaknesses''': Occasionally memory lapses to her old life has made Vicki somewhat mentally unstable, possesses a heroic mindset which can sometimes clash with her mission prerogatives. Vicki also admitted that she has a smoking and drinking addiction.
+
 
+
'''Andrew Tengen''': A S~ Ranked Warrior Class. Tengen was formerly the '''Hero of the Dual Cleavers''', but eventually abandoned the title when the world he was destined to save achieved peace, rendering the skills and power he had amassed to save the world from the Demon Lord '''Frey''' unneeded. Unsatisfied with his mundane life as a job hunter, Tengen decided to join Loyce's army after learning that Frey had become tamed by the Superior Demon Lord, seeking powerful opponents to fight for the thrill of battle. Tengen is given the codename '''Tourmentus''' due to his ability to keep getting stronger and tougher the more his body sustains damage, and his endless days spent fighting in Loyce's Gladiator Ring to become stronger. Andrew is the least active member of Loyce's Shadow Force, only ever taking a mission if it involves fighting someone stronger than him. He is the self proclaimed rival of S+ Ranked Outer Shadow '''Shosuke Shiki'''. Andrew is obsessed with American Football due to it being a high contact strength based sport.
+
* '''Powers''': Heroic Blessing, Physical Ability Escalation
+
* '''Age''': 17
+
* '''Species''': Isphixis Human - High Elf Hybrid
+
* '''Main Strengths''': Extremely proficient combatant (one of the few Outer Shadows to be able to keep up with Shosuke Shiki's One Strike Kill style temporarily, until the Devil Monk increased his attack pressure and overwhelmed him), Theoretically infinite potential as Tengen continues fighting
+
* '''Main Weaknesses''': Brash and reckless personality, extremely self centred and will only take action if it involves fighting someone stronger, poor team player
+
 
+
====Formally Reporting to Loyce====
+
=====Frey of the Furies=====
+
[[Image:freya-throne.jpeg|450px|thumb|right| Demon Lord Frey of the Furies]]
+
"''Who am I? My dear Frey, I am just like you. A Demon Lord. We are one and the same. You asked me why I chose to spare your life after I took your world, and the reason is because you have so much more to offer. You lost to the Hero of the Dual Cleavers, but if you are the same Demon Lord who ruled for millennia, who is to say that one single defeat is enough to take away that accomplishment? Stand with me, as my fellow Demon Lord. If you fall, then work your way back up. Prove to your followers that you are still the same Queen they looked up to for thousands of years. And I will walk by your side, as you take each step to regain your glory.''"
+
 
+
 
+
'''Freya Althuum''' is The Queen of the Furies, and the ruler of the skies. Initially an ordinary fury, Freya was taught by her parents that all humans were evil, and that to fight back the persecution of her people meant to go to war. However, one day, Freya witnessed a human male being assaulted and robbed by bandits. Saving the male, Freya got to know the other side of humanity, and the two fell in love as they spent more time together behind closed doors. However, the affair would not last long, as Freya's family discovered her relationship and had several furies attempt to drive Freya's lover away. In retaliation, the humans fought back, and the collateral of the war took the life of the human male. The sight of seeing the love of her life dead caused Freya to evolve into a Higher Fury, which allowed her to defeat the attackers who had killed the man she loved. Convinced that to save the humans who were like her lover, meant to kill "the corrupted", Freya took part in multiple wars with not just the Furies, but other monster brethren, amassing great power and moving up the ranks until she evolved into a Superior Fury, then a Supreme Fury. As Freya continued amassing power, so did her status as a warrior for the monsters, and soon the fury earned her position as a general to the Demon Lord Trellis. Freya would command her platoon of soldiers to fight the armies of mankind, until one fateful expedition led the fury back into the town where she had met her lover.
+
 
+
Stricken by grief, Freya sent the town into chaos, destroying the people's houses and incinerating everything with her magic. However, among those who burnt and suffocated from the smoke, Freya encountered the family of her lover. Moments from death, the father of the boy she had fallen for asked her if she still harboured hatred for them. Before Freya could respond, the father revealed that he had forgiven Freya and that if she wanted to do right for his son, that she would understand that hatred would only fuel more hurt and pain for those like her lover. Realizing that violence was not the answer to her grieving, Freya attempted to douse the flames, but due to her destructive power as a Supreme Fury, Freya watched in horror as the father died in her arms just like his son did. The pain of losing yet another loved one caused Freya to evolve once more into a Demon Fury, vowing to do right for her lover just as his father did. Freya then fought back against her own platoon, and challenged Trellis to battle, in which the two fought a vicious fight that lasted forty days. Trellis, recognizing Freya's relentless resolve, decided to forfeit his position as Demon Lord.
+
 
+
On the day Freya was proclaimed the Queen of all monsters, Freya abandoned her surname Althuum, and changed her name to '''Frey'''. Now established as a Demon Lord, Frey's first decree to her people was to avoid bloodshed and war, reasoning that while it was true humanity persecuted monster kind, there was also a side of humanity that accepted them, just like the man she had loved. Frey would then be known to her people as the '''Non Killing Demon Queen'''. Both her benevolence and strength was recognized and respected amongst all monsters in Isphixis.
+
 
+
Despite her best efforts at peace, the humans saw Demon Lord Frey differently. Feared by all in the realm, and according to legend, Frey was known for her ruthlessness and cruelty against those who opposed her. Frey's rule would come to an end when humanity summoned '''Andrew Tengen''', the Hero of the Dual Cleavers. As a Hero, Andrew recognized Frey as a Demon Lord, and proclaimed war against her. Frey reasoned that her rule was to allow those who were pure like her lover to be happy, and those who would ruin that happiness would be the ones she would deem the enemy, and that she had no intention to do battle against humanity. However, against her wishes, Andrew decided to slaughter Frey's kind, then proceeded to fight Demon Lord Frey in a vicious battle, ultimately ending in her defeat.
+
 
+
Devastated by the deaths of her beloved companions, Frey cursed her weakness, blaming the deaths of not just her comrades, but also her lover on herself. Dropping the title of Demon Lord, Frey abandoned who she was and went into seclusion. However, this life of emptiness would soon end, when Demon Lord Loyce Hal invaded Isphixis. Frey watched in disbelief as Loyce easily defeated Andrew and all of humanity, then proceeded to challenge both mankind and monster kind to battle, defeating both nations singlehandedly.
+
 
+
=====Fallen Angel Erafil=====
+
[[Image:Erafil01.jpeg|300px|thumb|left| Demon Lord Erafil and The Skysword]]
+
"''I have torn heaven and hell asunder with my bare hands. Something that took you eons to do, I have accomplished in a mere two minutes. But I shall tell you this. Through all my conquests, there is one region of the vast field of worlds that I cannot come close to conquering. I believe that it is under the protection of one even stronger than I. No matter how much I have tried, my power, the same power that tore apart your world and thousands before it, is still eclipsed by this greater being. This... creator of mine. So merciful and kind to his creations, and to me, yet so wrathful should he choose to unleash his fury. And so I stand before you, Fallen Angel, to teach you this. One who cannot accept that there will always be someone greater is not fit to be a ruler. Whether you want to or not. Whether this lesson is painful or not. I will make you understand that, Demon Lord Erafil.''"
+
 
+
 
+
A S~ Ranked Swordsman Class. A Demon Lord who once conquered and ruled '''Raehafil'''. Erafil overthrew the heavens of his world and slaughtered all of the angels before being cast to the mortal realm as a fallen angel. Erafil ruled the realm with pride until Loyce discovered the realm, and defeated the Fallen Angel easily. Erafil now serves Loyce as a subordinate, much to his indignation. Erafil wields the '''Skysword''', one of the strongest swords in existence due to its ability to slice entire planets in half. Erafil harbours a grudge against Outer Shadow '''Aaron Hope''' and his Auxiliary Shadow '''Bryce Jones''' for calling his Skysword a "heavenly wiener", and vows to kill the both of them even if it means his life is ended.
+
 
+
=====Leon Valentine=====
+
"''You would go so far as to become a Demon Lord for the sake of one woman? How utterly foolish, Valentine. If everything you have done up to this point has been for another, then forget catching up to the Devil Monk, you will never be able to take a single step forward. Look at everything you have achieved, if this woman does not love you, does it mean everything you have done to become the man you are today is meaningless? I am not here to give you answers. But unless you learn to seek strength for yourself, and not define your whole identity for the sake of another, you don't even deserve to call yourself a Demon Lord, because you have already failed as a man.''"
+
 
+
 
+
An A+ Ranked Spellcaster Class. A Demon Lord who once served in a Council of Demon Lords in the realm of '''Johal''', until eighteen of the twenty Demon Lords were slaughtered by '''Shosuke Shiki'''. Shocked by Shiki's tremendous strength, Valentine joined the Black Legion by accepting Loyce's offer in an attempt to become stronger and live up to his title as a Demon Lord.
+
 
+
===Armies===
+
====Kingdom of Hal - Black Legion====
+
The Kingdom of Hal is Loyce's main operating kingdom provided to him by Lord Ginga of the Black Legion. The Kingdom itself is home to Tourmentus, Fenrir, and Onyx, along with their Auxiliary Shadows. The Kingdom of Hal also possesses the main source of Loyce's Shadows.
+
 
+
Stationed in the Kingdom of Hal, are Demon Lord Frey's armies, which are comprised of higher demons, and furies. These furies are stationed in the throne room, recorded to house approximately 26 thousand Furies and 46 thousand Shadows.
+
 
+
====Loyce's Kingdom of Isphixis====
+
The Isphixian Nation of Hal possesses the armies of Demon Lord Frey at its fullest, now completely under Hal's control and command. The armies of Inoh are comprised of Frey's brethren, the Furies, Superior Demons that terrorized Isphixis until they were stopped by Andrew Tengen. In addition to the Furies, Inoh possesses Higher Demons who are tasked as soldiers who mainly specialize in aerial combat and magic.
+
 
+
====Loyce's Kingdom of Raehafil====
+
The heavenly soldiers of the Skyworld in Raehafil, which were either destroyed or forced to serve under Demon Lord Erafil, now serve Loyce, acting as his sentries in Raehafil. These winged warriors specialize in pure melee combat.
+
 
+
====Loyce's Kingdom of Johal====
+
Loyce's army, directly taken and amassed from Demon Lord Leon Valentine, is stationed in the Underworld, and are comprised of undead, which specializes in necromancy and overwhelming the enemy through sheer numbers. Though the soldiers of Valentine's army are not as powerful as Erafil or Frey's, their numbers are gargantuan, and possesses a wide breadth of weaponry, from sword and shield, to magecraft, to archery, and modern military munitions.

"This is the real deal. This is what you are getting yourself into. By facing me, you are doing what I want. But you don't have any choice. Just as Loki says. A human was never meant to defeat a Demon Lord. Your plot armor has run its course."

- Loyce Hal destroying the narrative of Aaron Hope's character


Great Demon Lord Loyce Hal, also known as Inner Shadow Empire, is the legendary Demon King, easily standing as one of the strongest characters in Darwin's Great Akuma Universe, and potentially the multiverse. Considered by many as the most powerful SS+ Rated Inner Shadow of the infamous Black Legion Organization, Hal's tremendous reputation is succeeded by his feats. His followers are extremely powerful and numerous, from conquering thousands upon thousands of universes and creating countless more realities.

He is one of the major antagonists in Darwin's Great Akuma Universe. As of Beyond the Gods, Loyce is the greatest threat, seconded to Vala the Spirit of Hope.


Powers and Abilities

"A power that rules, not just the domain enclosing oneself, but beyond. This is the strength our Master possesses, a strength necessary to not just conquer realms, but to rule it with indisputable power. You dare have the gall to boast about your power as a Demon Lord. But for every hundred worlds you've destroyed, our Master has destroyed AND created thousands. You are not at his level. Not ever."

- Demon Queen Freya Althuum on Loyce Hal


Loyce is among one of the undisputed, strongest threats to the entirety of the Great Akuma Reality Continuity. In terms of intellect and power, Loyce has repeatedly proved himself to be unparalleled to the point where even indirect intervention by the Demon Lord is capable of completely turning the tide of a confrontation. Loyce's might is so tremendous that many of his followers and subordinates were either forced to submit or voluntarily surrendered; such subordinates included extremely powerful Demon Lords themselves, or beings with power that rivaled or surpassed such a ranking. When Inner Shadows John Crassman and Jason Hellion learned of Aaron Hope's declaration to challenge Loyce, both Inner Shadows personally confronted the Outer Shadow, outright telling Hope that he stood no chance against Loyce. The Inner Shadows even went as far as to reveal that aside from Hakah, Loyce was in a class of his own and could easily singlehandedly defeat the rest of the Inner Shadows in the Black Legion.


Ultimate Primordial Demon Physiology: As the only Primordial Demon to reach the final evolution stage of Ultimate Primordial, Loyce exhibits immense and borderline unparalleled power that has only ever been eclipsed by beings such as The Great Akuma and her trusted successors, offspring, and descendants. Loyce is also the strongest Primordial demon in history; his power even surpasses that of Supreme Primordial Sena Ark, the first Primordial and mother of all Primordial demons.

  • Tremendous Physical Strength: Loyce has demonstrated nearly unmatched and immense levels physical strength. A single punch from Loyce was enough to completely disperse and nullify the gravitational effects of Kapstan 667, a supermassive black hole billions of times the size of the Sun. Loyce's strength was to the point where he was able to deflect the strikes of Shosuke "The Devil Monk" Shiki's One Strike Kill style with only a finger, with little to no effort. Even with the combined efforts of The Skyworld pooling their energy into Archangel Erafil, Loyce was able to defeat the Demon Lord in four strikes while holding back.
  • Unmatched Speed: Loyce is capable of performing unbelievable feats of speed, easily outpacing speedsters, and exceeding the speed of light by several orders of magnitude. When in battle, Yeling described Loyce as "moving so fast that he was practically invisible. By the time he had slowed down, it would be too late. There would be no way someone could react to his attacks no matter how prepared or sloppily he had executed them."
  • Immortality and Invulnerability: Loyce's durability has been described as nigh unparalleled. Capable of withstanding the combined magical unison of the galaxy's strongest mages and warriors during his crusade to conquer the world of Demon Lord Leon Valentine, Loyce's immense durability is layered onto his near-infinite regeneration. Due to the combined effects of invulnerability and regeneration, Loyce is considered practically immortal to almost all opponents he has faced.
  • Tremendous Magical Power: Loyce possesses an extraordinarily high amount of magic power, so monumental, that even with fellow SS+ Rated Inner Shadow Jun Gasket using Stage Five Hachi, is incapable of quantifying. The sheer aura of Loyce's magical power, even when suppressed, is considered so overwhelming that lesser creatures such as Shadow Minions, and even ordinary human beings, suffer a sensation of "immense pressure from within their bodies". At higher levels of combat power, Loyce is capable of passively disintegrating entire planets and civilizations just from his aura alone, which he uses to intimidate and force servitude on those who deny their allegiance, particularly lesser Demon Lords.


Alogigenesis - The Comedy of Divinity: An extremely powerful and vast esoteric ability that enables Loyce to manipulate, create, and destroy realities, narratives, plot armor, and even the plot of storylines depending on his frame of the narrative. It is unknown how Loyce obtained his power, but it was assumed that the power to warp reality was inherent to the final stage of evolution for a Primordial. This was the power that gave Loyce his terrifying reputation even amongst fellow esoterics due to his power to skillfully bend and shape the rules of the world around him in his favor. Loyce's mastery over manipulating reality was so skilled, that he had denoted the ability a "Divine Comedy", as he believed his mastery over a power so inconceivable and incomparable was "comical to divine proportions". Having defeated many reality-warping entities during his conquest, Loyce was considered the "King of the Esoterics". Using Divine Comedy, Loyce has been able to:

  • Neutralize the concept of a character's narrative, such as eliminating Apex Primordial Kon the Worldkiller's Absolute Dominion, which was a power that provided him with Infinite Strength.
  • Dethrone Queen Celene, the goddess of her universe by destroying her concept of being the "strongest entity to exist no matter any conditions".
  • Create thousands upon thousands of universes while simultaneously destroying the same number of realities from a single thought.
  • Force Tyrannon the Conquerer to experience fear.
  • Create and destroy time.
  • Eliminate the concept of fate itself, changing the destiny of Hana Alzeron, who was fated to become the wife of Archdemon Jemiel.
  • Warp reality to whatever he wishes, regardless of reason.
  • Transcend narratives and realities.
  • Outsmart countless narrative and reality-bending individuals in a battle of "reason" and "law bending".
  • Defeat Stage Four Susanoo Hakah Mah and Stage Four Hinokami Yeling Mah simultaneously.
  • Reset Vicki Harriet's moral compass.
  • Destroy and recreate Millennium City hundreds of times over without anyone realizing.
  • Defeat Kigatilik with a single ice-based spell, bypassing Kigatilik's inherent concept of ice resistance.
  • Freeze the supergiant blue star, Rigel.
  • Defeat Lucifer in his own domain.
  • Harm his own creator/author, by inflicting several wounds and scratches which manifested themselves overnight on the author's body in a higher narrative.
  • Overwhelm Shosuke Shiki and Aaron Hope by willing them to be petrified by just his name alone.
  • Contain and weaponize anti-narratives, such as Supreme Primordial Aran Sol.
  • Eliminate the effects of Aaron's signature Black Bullets


Genius Level Intellect and Combat Knowledge: As a Primordial, Loyce belongs to a race of beings who were the first known entities to display intelligence in the history of the universe. According to Kon Larum, it was the Primordials who suggested the offshoot of intelligence to other organisms, and thus from them came mankind, a race of beings who displayed evolving intelligence. Loyce's intelligence has been shown to be one of the most dangerous qualities that cemented his position as an Ultimate Divine Demon Lord, as well as his knowledge of warfare, nation-building, strategy, cunningness, and trickery. Even amongst other Primordials, Loyce had displayed an intellect that was significantly higher than his peers due to his affirmation to continuously acquire knowledge through omnicidal conquests in the multiverse. Some examples of Loyce's feats include:

  • Outsmarting SS+ Rated Jun Gasket in tactical warfare, using only forty thousand foot soldiers to defeat Gasket's Machine Kingdom of seventy trillion.
  • Defeating SSS Rated Hakah Mah by psychologically influencing her power using her brother, Yeling.
  • Inventing forty-seven new forms of magic using a single runic transcript, an accomplishment that could not be achieved in the history of several millennia by the top mages of Leon Valentine's world.
  • Wield celestial magic, despite being a Primordial Demon, by identifying and adjusting the details of his rune summoning, patterns that differ only by several micrometers.
  • Completely assess the fighting style, strengths, weaknesses, and combat profile, and deduce the past, present, and future of an enemy army amounting to eight nine million soldiers, for each and every single soldier through a single glance.
  • Best Aaron Hope in a battle of wits and gunplay, despite the latter being infamously known for being the greatest gunman in the entirety of the Black Legion easily.
  • Outsmart and defeat Ra'vin the Tribunal, the vast cosmic entity and embodiment of the multiverse, without using Alogigenesis and only relying on his Primordial physical abilities.


Magecraft: Due to Loyce's massive mana reserves and his ingenuity, the magnitude of the Demon Lord's magical spells is tremendous. Even the most primitive of spells have been described by Loyce's victims to be overwhelming, to the point where they were often mistaken as legendary class spells.

  • 100% Mana Efficiency: Historically, the conversion of a mage's mana to energy, be it kinetic, heat, or potential, was at most 46% efficient due to losses from a variety of factors including chant inefficiency, runic inefficiency, and biological spell execution losses. However, Loyce invented a new way of performing spells, by converting the mana flowing within his body to the primitive energy of the spell, allowing the primitive energy to distribute into its subsequent child forms that made up the spell's energy profile. Doing so allowed Loyce to shatter all understanding of how spells were performed, and for the first time, allow spells to be executed at 100% efficiency. Because of this, the scale of his spells was considered significantly higher than other mages, even when using only a fraction of his mana.
  • Elite Spell Mastery: Loyce demonstrated expert to grandmaster level mastery of all forms of magecraft, performing all spells and their child spells flawlessly and at absurd magnitudes. A single [Flare Burst], thought to be an elementary-level spell, was comparable to the size of a planetary star. An [Aqua Shot] performed by Loyce was to the level of a tsunami. This was likely due to the fact that Loyce possessed both tremendous mana reserves, but also his ability to call upon these spells at an impossible 100% efficiency.
    • Supercosmic Level Magic: A level of magic that was thought to be impossible, as the upper threshold of magic used by its practitioners was Cosmic Magic, Loyce's seemingly infinite mana reserves meant he was capable of calling upon a level of magic even further Cosmic Magic, which later coined the term "Supercosmic". Loyce was the first to weaponize magic to this level and is both the pioneer and only known user of Supercosmic Magic. An example of this level of magic is Loyce's version of Supercosmic Aspectum, which allows him to access the complete profile of anything he encounters through any of his senses. This includes their weaknesses, strengths, habits, and fighting styles.
  • Yvvir - The Legendary Spell of Resurrection: A taboo branch in magecraft that involved resurrecting the dead. Thought to be a myth, until Loyce resurrected a criminal that he had slaughtered who was caught defiling the Church of Babel, which Loyce became fond of. Loyce was capable of calling [Yvvir] multiple times on the same target, as shown when Loyce continuously slaughtered and resurrected the same criminal over and over again in a rage after discovering that the criminal had been assaulting the women and children of the church.
  • Raava - The Legendary Spell of Fate Manipulation: A forbidden and extremely complex branch in magecraft involving traveling within the time stream and undoing the inevitabilities of an individual or select region of a universe's future. [Raava] has only been used by two individuals in history. The first time [Raava] was called was when a renowned grandmaster mage known as Emiol called upon the spell to undo his son's death after traveling back in time. Though successful, Emiol was then enslaved for eternity to serve as a Time Keeper by Ra'vin Da Saar, a child branch of Ra'vin the Tribunal. When [Raava] was called for the second time in history by Loyce to save the fate of the Babel Church, Emiol was forced by Da Saar to execute Loyce but was defeated instantly. Loyce then used Alogigenesis to completely eliminate the concept of needing to preserve the stream of fate while keeping the timeline intact, then proceeded to delete Ra'vin Da Saar from existence, explaining that by using Divine Comedy, a Time Keeper was no longer required as it was now part of the narrative that "the timeline remains intact no matter what". Since then, Loyce has been able to call upon Raava whenever needed.
  • Origin Magic Ard Metria - The Affirmation of Self: Origin Magic is a branch of magecraft that was invented by Loyce solely for the purpose of retaining his sense of self, should any attempt of possession be made. This discovery of magic was first observed by Rya the Celestial, who, in a desperate attempt to protect her master, Kon the Worldkiller, attempted to possess Loyce's origin soul and prevent him from using 80% of his Ultimate Primordial abilities and his Alogigenesis, to allow Kon to fight on par with the superior Primordial Demon. Upon attempting to possess Loyce, Rya was struck by [Ard Metria], which was powerful enough to fully incapacitate the Great Celestial and send her comatose for seven months.
    • Logic Bending Origin Magic - Absolute Self: Though powerful, it is possible for [Ard Metria] to be bypassed by beings of incredible magical prowess, as shown when Rya attempts to possess Loyce once more but uses the full power of her Great Celestial abilities. If by chance, [Ard Metria] is bypassed, Loyce is capable of enhancing the spell even further by removing such limitations using Alogigenesis, to evolve the spell into a Self Affirmation that is absolute, meaning by the narrative of the character and storyline, it is impossible for Loyce to be possessed. To break past [Absolute Self] one must bypass the narrative, by engaging in a battle of reason on a higher level of narrative. An extension behind [Absolute Self] is that by passively retaining this spell, Loyce's Alogigenesis ability cannot be replicated, as it is a part of his sense of self. This passive ability also appears to be immune to anti-magic, as shown when Aaron Hope attempted to use his [Black Bullet Barrage] on Loyce to no effect.

Weaknesses

"There is no satisfaction to being the penultimate. And even if one does experience what is like to be at the top, can they really stay this way for eternity? I have the power to change narratives and realities. But despite how much I try to eliminate the concept of being unsatisfied... I fail each time. This is the flaw behind my character. This is the flaw my cruel author has put on me. I don't want to just die, Yeling. I want to cease to exist."

- Loyce Hal


Nihilism and Desire for Mortality: Loyce has repeatedly stated that he does not find satisfaction in his power. And due to his immortality, he cannot be killed even if defeated. This degree of nihilism was such to the point where Loyce contemplated repeatedly battling and defying Lord Ginga and Hakah Mah in hopes of being destroyed for good, though the effort only left him defeated and on the brink of death, but "not quite there". A large part behind Hal's defection from his responsibilities as an Inner Shadow to provoke Hakah using Yeling has been for this reason. Despite this level of nihilism, Loyce has at times, hesitated in finding ways to end his existence due to his subordinates, with whom he has taken a mentoring role.

The Great Akuma and Lord Ginga: Despite possessing the immense reality-warping power of Alogigenesis, Loyce has admitted that he is incapable of defeating neither the Akuma nor Ginga, due to the two being capable of neutralizing and withstanding Loyce's Alogigensis reality warping and narrative bending attacks. This passive ability also extends to the children of the Akuma, such as Mahyako, Avalon, and their descendants, including Diana Avarice, Hakah Mah and Yeling Mah. Due to being immune to Alogigenesis, Loyce must resort to his Ultimate Primordial abilities, though despite the handicap, has proven to be still an extremely difficult and borderline impossible opponent to put down.

Darwin / User Cathollicr: Loyce's author and creator. If chosen to do so, the very concept of Loyce being immortal could be eliminated entirely by changing the narrative of Loyce being incapable of using Alogigenesis on his own mortality.
