My salt is incredibly real because of the DQ Negation so I want sooooooo bias His Durability Negation refers to weakening the connection between the soul and body, which, unfortunately for his case, won't work as he lacks what falls under the definition of "soul". If we count the in-verse anima, similar to the aforementioned, it'll make no effect on due to obvious reasons.

Now, here's my input, looking through both of the profiles.

I'm not sure how much a "dozen" times gives AP-wise, but i'll guess it is a high-end of the tier. I can't do the simple math right now due to being in a rush.

I see both are competent leaders, i'll use the intelligence of The King's son as i'm unknown of the father, since it simply lacks any classificaiton at all, though, merit is there for running a kingdom and being the main head of the military.

Austerus is quite lucky; he does not really use any firearms, or even laser based, which The King appears to null by his forcefield's abilities. This is due to his mutation, which is a backlash, but provides nice strength and overall body capabilities. Knowing this, i'll advance more.

Austerus, knowing The King is a threat (assuming it is SBA, pretty obvious case) will probably rush in towards him. Seeing he has no firearms, he will indeed be a bit more straight on his way of fighting as his fear is the aforenamed, but he'll need to watch out as this guy may be more powerful than him physical-wise.

In that, I can see the alien leader having the experience edge. Despite The King being, well, what the name itself tells, Austerus has already dealt with opponents that are a bit over his leagues in terms of strength prowess; Anaschimatizó and Anoikodomo, the former using the states of matter on himself, while the latter uses its properties on his being, are well on his league and have far more troublesome abilities than The King appears to display, yet he managed to get over them by thinking out things in the field before getting his face and rear end blasted with plasma, getting stomped by 100 ton alien. He also has his philosphy of punches thingy, which is just a cheap name for martial arts that himself has developed. That would be useful, alongside techniques, in the warzone. This a point for Austerus.

Austerus rushes in, but The King has range with his "other abilities". That will stop him for a while, depending on what those other abilities are. Fire and ice, respectively, will not restraint him much due to his nice capability of mantaining homeostasis in harsh conditions and having it enhanced a bit by his mutation, Hyperkinesis. His light manipulation, well, Austerus has already seen a similar mutation, Thermo-Photokinesis, from Athanatos. However, they are not applied in any remotely similar way, but if it involves blinding/stunning through, he is fine on that field by previously mentioned reasons. Those long-range attacks will be quite troublesome if he doesn't get on time, but he'll eventually get over it and get in his respective extend or even close-quarters range. This a point for Austerus, as well.

Getting in his range, the most in-character thing to end this for him would be throwing him far away, aka his technique "Faraway Voyage of a Hundred Kilometers". This won't be issue for King, due to his impressive speed. Then, seeing that ain't working, Austerus will try escalating a bit higher, performing the "Gut Swirl", "Spine Hurl" or an ocassional "C'mere!". King isn''t an inanimate statue, he'll obviously try countering a bit with his psychic abilities, but as previously mentioned, it'll be just background pain for him. Eventually, he'll land a hit or two, getting a grasp on how he is fighting. King will heal, but Austerus will just keep. going. I'm not sure how fast his regeneration or healing is, but this alien guy is an stubborn type of person. He will keep shouting and shouting attack after attack, eventually the one with higher endurance wearing out of tiredness or wounds.

I didn't mentioned regeneration or his willing-to-kill special attack, as i don't think it is really neccesary to pull out here and neither it is much in-character to do even if he knows someone is a threat, as these things are rather obvious to figure out.

tl;dr, if Austerus manages to get in range, The King could fight on, but not much till he gets overwhelmed and wears out. Austerus won't kill, as that is violating his beliefs, but he'll just incap even if his opponents gets up a time or two.

This a vote for my character. Sorry if i sound bias towards him, these are just my points. You guys could also provide your counter-points as well.
