Summary[]
The nameless "false" Servant who served as the Ruler class in the VS Battle First Holy Grail War. An irregular class summoned to act as supervisor, arbiter, and protector of the Grail War, he was originally summoned in a body similar to Caster (Fate/Extra CCC) with the skin tone of Berserker (Fate/Stay night) due to their shared Noble Phantasms, Marchen Meines Leben and God Hand. He watched over the war for its duration, occasionally intervening, while also slowly increasing his own power through rewriting his existence to gain more abilities.
Ruler was eventually trapped within his own reality marble by Saber's wish to Akasha. However, this was largely only an inconvenience, as the Skill he had gained, Independent Manifestation, caused his consciousness/soul to exist across all of space-time and allowed him to freely manifest bodies within and simply made transport and travel between space-time and Patchwork Soul difficult.
Personality[]
Extremely cautious, to the point of paranoia at times. Follows the "orders" of the grail, but is willing to bend them. Has a mischievous side that normally comes out after relief from stress.
Upon realising that he would never be recorded on the Throne of Heroes to be reborn, he became obsessed with maintaining his own existence at any cost, except for harming the Grail War. Upon achieving this as best he could, he settled back into simply observing the world, and playing games with his Neverland Overdrive.

Attack Potency: Island Level physically (has a C rank in strength, superior to Archer's D Rank), At least Large Island level with Gram (Stated to be the strongest Demonic sword that is equal to Excalibur), Plot Manipulation and Reality Warping ignore durability | Town Level with Water Demons, Island Level physically (Has B+ rank strength, putting him on par with Achilles, was able to battle with a weakened post-Nine-Chapters Saver in a sword battle), Large Island Level with Gram, At least Planet level, Multiversal+ with CCC (Ranked as an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, rewrote the space-time of Patchwork Soul, which is at least the size of Gaia/Earth, and the infinite layers of Reality Marbles surrounding it), can ignore durability in several ways.
Speed : Massively Hypersonic in his manifested form via power-scaling (Has C-Rank agility, making him comparable to Archer), Immeasurable with Enfer Château d'If (Can escape and move outside the confintes of abstract prisons like time and space), Nigh-Omnipresent otherwise (his consciousness/soul exists across all of time and space) | At least Massively Hypersonic, likely higher (his agility stat is drastically increased within Patchwork Soul), however due to Patchwork Soul already existing outside space-time he cannot use Enfer Château d'If within, nor is his consciousness omnipresent within.
Lifting Strength : Unknown. At least Superhuman (Even the weakest Servant is stronger than the strongest human)
Striking Strength :' At least Island Class' | At least Island level
Durability : At least Island Level (can withstand strength of his own blows, has a B rank in Endurance), immortality, invulnerability, regeneration and resurrection make him extremely difficult to kill | Island Level physically (was able to battle evenly with a weakened post-Nine-Chapters Saver), at least Planet Level with Akhilleus Kosmos, Invulnerability, Intangibility, Regeneration and Resurrection make him extremely difficult to put down.
Stamina : Extremely high (can fight as long as he has mana, has an EX rank in mana). Additionally, his Battle Continuation skill allows him to continue fighting at full strength so long as he does not suffer a decisive wound such as a destroyed head. | Nigh-Limitless (can fight as long as he has mana, within Patchwork Soul he has nigh-infinite mana). Additionally, his Battle Continuation skill allows him to continue fighting at full strength so long as he does not suffer a decisive wound such as a destroyed head, and his Independent Action skill allows him to continue living for several hours after suffering critical damage to his spiritual core.
Range : Extended melee range with Gram, Dozens of metres with Kazikli Bey Hundreds of metres with Gram's energy projection, effectively limitless with Marchen Meines Leben | Same as prior, planetary with several abiliities possibly Multiversal with CCC
Standard Equipment: Marchen Meines Leben, his manuscript that allows him his plot manipulation and reality warping. Gram, the Sword of the Sun, the demonic sword equal to Excalibur. 18 command seals which can be used to control other Servants, used as a back-up mana source, or used to increase his statistics.
Intelligence: Above average, though precognition, clairvoyance and battle skill make him seem genius level. Against enemies who he feels pose a legitimate threat to his existence, and unless restraining himself due to some promise he's made (as he did with Saver's battles), he does not hold back. He actively uses SNI in battle, letting him instantly discern the abilities of his opponents and how to counter them in the best possible way. He is also aware of all aspects of his abilities and uses them to their fullest extent, such as allowing himself to be scratched by spells and attacks in order to make use of God Hand's reactive evolution, acting damaged in order to make use of Battle Continuation to catch opponents off guard, and freely re-configuring the buildings and functions within his Colosseum to gain foot holds and throw off his opponents and their attacks.
Weaknesses: Ruler is rarely willing to go all out (though he will if he feels his existence is legitimately threatened). Marchen Meines Leben (his plot manipulation/reality warping) requires him to write several chapters in his book, and unless comboed with Enfer Château d'If can only be used in battle for quick stat boosts. Needs to use his own power to create bodies in space-time, so the more bodies there are at once, the weaker each one is. | Same as previous, in addition he cannot gain immeasurable speed due to already existing outside space-time, Avalon's force field creation can only be maintained for a few minutes, after which it will kill him to use, Low-Mid regeneration is disable while Avalon's force field is active, enemies already within the Colosseum are already within the forcefield, if his Throne in the Colosseum is destroyed, he will lose his infinite mana, demon summoning, mist control, Avalon forcefield, and Low-Mid regeneration. If he is removed or cut off from Patchwork Soul and its infinite layers, he will lose his Type 8 immortality. CCC is only able to be used within Patchwork Soul.
Feats:
- Defeated and killed Saver, who had used his own Marchen Meines Leben to gain EX rank paramaters in Strength, Agility, Endurance, Magical Power, and Good Luck.
- Fought both Saber and Saver in his marble.
- Ruined Rider's Overwatch Team Kill and Play of the Game by turning off the computer at Immeasurable speeds
- Obtained the yandere affections of Saber despite only having one brief meeting with her through sheer Charisma. However, this led to her trapping him in infinite layers of Patchwork Soul for eternity to fight with her, so it probably wasn't a good thing overall.
- A lesser manifestation was able to shrug off the abilities of the Kirioth in his Beast form and killed him with ease.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:[]
Noble Phantasms[]
- Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You: Ruler's Noble Phantasm, a copy of Hans Christen Andersen's own. It is an unpolished manuscript, an autobiography titled, "The Fairy Tale of My Life." The true worth of the Noble Phantasm is its ability to make "a single human" grow to "a single leading character" in the way an author does so by bringing forth a new story. He must wipe the book clean, and then he begins rewriting from the beginning. The result, the extent of growth, depends on how far he can progress in the manuscript. Completing a few pages will result in only a few coincidences occurring around them, but completing all the pages and finishing the manuscript will allow for the person centered on in the story to be as they have been written, the existence of the story character being overlayed with the real character and gaining all of their abilities, skills and characteristics. While it appears omnipotent as a Noble Phantasm, the time it take to write all the chapters greatly limits its effectiveness in battle, unless combined with some other ability to increase writing speed. Ruler combined it with Enfer Chateau D'lf, allowing him to write the entire manuscript in an instant, gaining extreme power because of it.
-Gram: The Sword of the Sun: A copy of Sigurd's weapon in the Volsung Saga of Norse Mythology, this was the first weapon Ruler wrote for himself by developing the character of a bloodstained knife. After killing a great dragon, it became renowned as a "demonic sword of both glory and ruin". It is said to be the strongest demonic sword that can only be equaled to the strongest holy sword Excalibur, so it possesses the special characteristic of "dragon slayer". It is also the prototype of Balmung, and uses its ability. When the name of this weapon is said, the blade creates an incredible amount of True Ether from the age of the Gods, then projects the Ether as an expanding cone of light that overwhelms the physics of the very atoms of whatever it hits, destroying apart the forces holding the atoms together and annihilating them.
-Sha Nagba Imuru (He who Saw the Deep): The Omniscient Omnipotent Star is the mentality of Ruler sublimated into a Noble Phantasm through the use of Marchen Meines Leben, and is modeled off Gilgamesh's own ability. It is a "continuously active-type Noble Phantasm" that does not require its name to be invoked. Possessing tremendous efficiency, it can discern heavily concealed truths with a single glance, from that of the opponent's True Name and Noble Phantasms to possibly even seeing through a piece of the truth of the demise of human history. It is clairvoyance that is several levels above the ordinary." When facing him in a game like chess, even someone making advanced predictions and reading the flow of the game will have already lost at that moment. He does not read the future of the chess board, but instead gazes down upon and oversees it, allowing the correct move to always be visible to him. He can also see the possibilities of various parallel worlds should he so choose.
- Enfer Château d'If: Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright: An A-Rank Anti-Unit/Army Noble Phantasm sublimated from the ability to "escape". Based on Edmond Dantès' own Noble Phantasm, is allows Ruler to escape from any prison, even "abstract prisons such as time and space", giving him the ability to move and attack from outside them and re-enter them at any point in space-time, or even employ what appears to be a "time halt". However, due to Patchwork Soul base nature (Ars Paulina) existing outside space-time, Enfer Chateau cannot be used to gain immeasurable speed within, though it can still be used to escape any prison.
- The Twin Blessings of the Olympians: The combination name for the two Noble Phantasms of Hercules and Achilles that Ruler wrote into his being. After becoming the God-Father of Patchwork Soul, these abilities were incorporated into Ruler's being, becoming manifestations of his own power rather than that of the other gods.
- God Hand: Twelve Labors: Its the blessing (and curse) of the gods that grants immortality. It is a "hidden ability" possessed by Ruler, a continuously-active-type Noble Phantasm that grants him a "body that knows no death". By turning the body into a robust armor, any attack below Rank A is totally negated. Only attacks or abilities equal to an A rank Noble Phantasm attack can harm Ruler. God Hand also resurrects him 11 times, meaning he must be defeated the total of 12 times to be offed for good. Even powerful attacks like Saber Alter's Excalibur Morgan can only take a single life. In addition, he develops extreme conceptual resistance against any ability that managed to bypass God Hand. As such to defeat Ruler, one must possess at least 12 different methods to kill him. However, Ruler can constantly replenish his stock of lives at extremely high speeds due to the infinite mana he wields, meaning any attack must be powerful enough to take all 12 lives from him in a single hit in order to kill him.
- Andreias Amarantos (Heroism's Eternal Man): Amaranth of the Brave: Ruler's copy of Achilles's infamous invulnerability, negating any incoming attack regardless of force for as long as his opponent lacks Divinity or does not possess a Divine Weapon. Those whose Divinity ranks lower than him will be able to deal only minor damage to him, while those with equal or higher Divinity are able to bypass it entirely, but this is easier said than done, as Ruler has since become a god beyond any other ever seen due to the authority he commands over the infinite reality marbles of Patchwork Soul. In addition, it only activates against "hostile" actions, so "friendly" actions such as a vampire's bite (which welcomes the victim into the ranks of vampire society) will also pass right through it.
- C.C.C.: Cursed Cutting Crater: Taking advantage of his Divine Authority as the God Father that is the root of everything within Patchwork Soul, Ruler purges the world by rewriting its events and making maximum use of the EX skill “God Father's Authority”. It is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm that rewrites his reality marble as like an ultra-precise 3-D Printer, overriding the previous world (including its concepts and history) with the world that Ruler desires. The space eroded by this attack becomes imaginary space and a curse that consumes and bores a hole in reality to achieve his ends. In addition to scattering all objects inside on an atomic level and reconstructing them, it is capable of writing over and rewriting information of fields such as luck and coincidence. With CCC, Ruler can also distort the time axis, interfere with gravity fields and rewrite the laws of physics, magic and cause and effect. However, this ability cannot be used outside Patchwork Soul.
-Patchwork Soul: World of One Thousand Phantasms: is the manifestation of the constant re-writing and additions Ruler has made to his own soul to grow stronger. It has numerous abilities taken from different abilities he wrote into himself. The concepts of this world are different to the concepts of the conventional multiverse, and as it is a reflection of his own soul, this offers Ruler a form of resistance against conventional concept manipulation. By deactivating and reactivating the ability, Ruler is effectively able to teleport around the world by choosing a new location to enter the Marble. Finally, Patchwork Soul is not an actual Noble Phantasm - rather it is the collection of Noble Phantasms that Ruler wrote into his being, and he is just as capable of using them all separately as he is using them all at once. Additionally, all Ruler's characteristics are present within Patchwork Soul as it is the projection of his soul (although characteristics of Patchwork Soul are not always preset within Ruler). Additionally, due to Saber's wish to Akasha, Patchwork Soul is surround by infinite further copies of the Marble surrounding the original, making it impossible to enter or exit the Marble conventionally. However, these infinite copies only apply to the original reality marble, and the reality marbles that Ruler's avatars can create are not surrounded by infinite copies, though they still have all the other effects.
- Ars Paulina – the original ability that Ruler wrote into his existence. This phantasm creates a workshop outside time and space (so it requires either invitation or special abilities to arrive at, let alone get in) and also lacks a concept of death, allowing Ruler to resurrect any killed there (including himself automatically) as long as he still has mana. Additionally, seeing as it the marble is already outside space-time, it negates all abilities based around being outside or "transcending" space-time, including TTBB. Finally, Ruler can decide its position and passage through space-time, allowing him to control how much time passes in the marble relative to proper space-time.
- Aestus Domus Aurea – The manifestation of the glorious golden Colosseum Ruler created within his Reality Marble. Enemies within slowly have their stats lowered, and Ruler’s weapon becomes wreathed in flames with the intensity of Mount Vesuvius's eruption. Ruler can freely reconfigure the shape and function of the buildings in the Colosseum, allowing further customisation. Additionally, it is only possible to exit (either the Colosseum or the entire reality marble) upon Ruler’s death or with his permission.
- Nameless Forest – The enemies within will slowly have their mind and memories erased, and when they no longer have a mind, their existence will be erased as well. This memory loss and erasure effect is not active within the Colosseum, although the memories do not return either. Should one read their name while within, this effect is nullified, but it is impossible to recall the name from memory alone, requiring it to have been written down somewhere prior to entry.
- Kazikli Bey – A copy of Lancer of Black's Noble Phantasm. It was slightly modified due to the differing circumstances of their legends - while Vlad III impaled his foes on stakes, Ruler impaled them on the branches of trees. As such Ruler's version allows spontaneous growth of trees and tree branches from the ground or trees that attempt to impale foes with their branches – upon contact with an enemy they are conceptualised as having already pierced them through the heart, making armour or toughened skin useless. It can only be used to its fullest effect within the marked territory (Patchwork Soul), although Ruler can also summon these branches from inside his own body even while outside of the marked domain. The amount he can summon is directly dependent on his own mana reserves, which is large enough for him to summon and control well over 500,000 branches at once with ease. He can also summon these branches from any point on his own body, which can be used as an effective surprise attack.
- Prelati’s Spell Book – conceptually implanted into the Throne at the top floor of the colosseum. It’s magical reactor grants Ruler infinite mana while within, and fuels the other functions of the location. Additionally, by pressing a button on the Colosseum throne, endless hordes of water demons (all comparable to an E rank servant) can be summoned into the arena and the forest beyond. Additionally, Ruler is capable of summoning it directly from the Throne to his hand to use the summoning anywhere, although this also removes the infinite mana effect it grants to the rest of the Marble, making it only a matter of time before the World crushes the irregularity now there is only Ruler's finite mana to sustain its existence.
- The King's Glass Game - a copy of Caster's ability The Queen's Glass Game. This ability allows Ruler to reset the conditions of the battlefield and fighters to their condition at the start of the battle through a mixture of reality warping, spatial manipulation and time manipulation. However, this ability can only be used within the confines of Patchwork Soul (although secondary bounded fields and reality marbles within Patchwork Soul still qualify as "within the confines").
- Sword of Paracelsus - conceptually implanted into the Throne. Like a quantum processing unit for magic, it will analyse any type of magic (including the magic within equipment type Noble Phantasms) to enter the throne and replicate it. As the throne acts as the heart and brain of Ruler's world, at its very centre, the effects of any magic analysed can now be replicated throughout the entire world. Additionally, Ruler is capable of summoning it directly from the Throne to his hand, although this also disables all effects it is analysing and replicating throughout the Reality Marble (all effects listed below).
- Avalon - Gives the environment of Patchwork soul (and Ruler while he is inside it) Low-Mid regeneration, allowing any damage to the environment to quickly be repaired. Additionally, by placing his hand on Avalon's engraving on the armrest of the Throne of the Golden Colosseum, the colosseum gains the protection of Avalon's bounded field "absolute defense" and becomes an impenetrable fortress that can resist all attacks, although the Nameless Forest does not gain this protection. The Throne where Avalon is implanted acts as the core of the world that must be destroyed in order to do permanent damage to the world - however even if the throne is destroyed, this only removes its infinite mana, regeneration, ability analyzing and absolute defense, and Ruler can still maintain the other functions of the world such as Kazikli Bey, Aestus Domus Aurora and the Nameless Forest as they are linked directly to him rather than to the Throne. Unlike other items implanted inside the Throne which are replicas created via Marchen Meines Leben, the Avalon implanted is the real and original Avalon, found by Ruler with the use of Sha Nagba Imuru and Enfer Chateau D'lf and implanted. However, this means that he cannot summon it to himself, nor use its abilities without the Sword of Paracelsus.
- Akhilleus Kosmos - a copy of Achille's divine shield, when this Noble Phantasm is conceptualy implanted in the throne, it gives the entire reality marble the durability and strength of the World, meaning that only attacks specifically made to destroy a "world" such as anti-world Noble Phantasms can damage it. Additionally, Ruler can summon the shield to himself and use it to block attacks, although this disables the World Protection of the Reality Marble until Ruler can return it to the Throne.
- The Mist: Ruler can summon a thick black smog anywhere within his Reality Marble. Anything that enters loses its sense of direction, making it nigh-impossible to find a way out of the mist or aim attacks while within. Additionally, beings around his level are slowed (Agility Rank Down) while beings well below his level will choke and slowly die on the corrosive fumes, and Ruler is extremely difficult to see in this mist, gaining increased stealth. Finally, Ruler can summon the lantern that is the ability's source to himself from the Throne and use it to personally summon and control the Mist around him, although this disables the Mist that is otherwise omnipresent throughout the Reality Marble of the Reality Marble until Ruler can return it to the Throne.
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance: A skill that grants protection against magical effects. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. As a Ruler Class Servant, Ruler's Rank B magic resistance cancels spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.
- God's Resolution: Class Skill of the Ruler class, is the privilege of the Ruler presiding over the Holy Grail War. Each Ruler is normally granted two Command Spells for each Servant that participates in the Holy Grail War. Two Command Spells can be used for each Servant participating in the Holy Grail War. Cannot re-purpose the Command Spells of others to control their Servants, though can use them as mana sources. However, Ruler replaced this ability with Self-Modification for his second battle with Saver, and while he can still retains the seals, he can no longer use them to control other Servants.
- True Name Discernment: Status information such as one's identity, Skills and Parameters are automatically revealed when directly encountering a Servant. If summoned as a Ruler, during a direct encounter, a Servant's true name and entire status information will be automatically revealed. In regards to Servants with concealment abilities, a luck check is required. Ruler removed this class skill prior to his third battle with Saver, switching it out for Shapeshift.
Personal Skills[]
- God Father's Authority: is the manifestation of Ruler's position as creator and controller of Patchwork Soul, ascended to become a Divine Authority higher even than that of the Earth Mother Goddess. Due to being the controller, creator of the original, and the "godfather" of Patchwork Soul and its infinite surrounding copies, this means that Ruler has Divine Authority on the level of controlling an infinite multiverse. Nothing born of Patchwork Soul can harm or affect Ruler in anyway unless he allows it, with attacks and effects against him being made to have "never happened", with the system of causality being destroyed and rewritten to undo and erase the attack and its effects. "Anything born (or reborn)" refers to anything that exists in its current form as a direct or indirect result of the Patchwork Soul's own existence, such as those created/born there (including such things as concepts/ideas, spontaneously created objects such as Projections, and even new cells born and limbs regenerated there) or those who underwent some form of large change while there, making it so that over time, almost everything within Patchwork Soul will become unable to affect Ruler. Additionally, nothing born of Patchwork Soul can resist his Authority unless they hold a greater Divine Authority of their own, making it so that all resistances to his attacks and powers are nullified. Due to his Authority, he is also capable of freely controlling many aspects of Patchwork Soul, such as world construction, event shifting, time-flow manipulation, kingdom-building, and other such powers of that level. Additionnally, due to his Divinity he possesses a Divine Core that renders his body and mind highly resistant to exterior alterations, as well as having a "Purge Defense" ability that allows him to break through invulnerabilities of his opponents.
- Demonic Defender of the State: is the capacity of a Servant to mark a region as his personal dominion by securing the surrounding leylines prior to an engagement. Ruler's version, modeled off Vlad III's ability, permits the reinforcement of his combat capabilities when fighting in his territory (his Reality Marble), gaining a combat power bonus equivalent to Mad Enhancement of Rank A (Ranking up all his statistics except luck and magical power by one rank).
- Eye of the Mind (False): is a natural talent to avoid danger on the basis of an innate 6th sense, intuition, or prescience, where accuracy of instinct has been augmented by experience - somewhat overcoming the problem of visual obstructions that appear in the course of combat. Ruler is capable of calm analysis of battle conditions, by which competent grasp of the status of the self and the opponent are obtainable even in the midst of danger; utilization of such to deduce the appropriate course of action that permits escape from a lethal predicament, and even when rendered insane, it remains as an instinct.
- Battle Continuation: is the ability of a servant to fight on even with lethal wounds. With his B rank in this skill, Ruler was able to fight on at full power for several minutes even after having his heart and most of his surrounding torso destroyed. Combined with his Independent Action skill, this makes it very difficult to incapacitate Ruler in battle.
- Independent Action: is the ability of a servant to continue acting even while rejecting mana from a master. With his B rank in this Skill, Ruler is capable of existing within the World for several days even without a constant supply of magical energy from his master, and can even continue to live on for a day after sustaining lethal damage to his spiritual core. This ability is rendered largely obsolete by his skill Independent Manifestation, but is still effective should Independent Manifestation be impaired.
- Self-Modification: The aptitude to remodel one's own body to increase strength and knowledge. The higher the ranking in this skill, the further away one is from being a proper hero. With the use of Marchen Meines Leben, Ruler is able to near freely rewrite his own existence to gain the skills, abilities, and Noble Phantasms of others, granting him an A rank in this skill. Once his existence was confirmed by Gaia, Alaya and Akasha, he lost the ability to rewrite his own existence, and so this skill dropped to a D rank, allowing him to make minor changes to himself by adjusting the configuration of Patchwork Soul and implementing new magical items and devices into it, as well as bolster his parameters and skills by consuming the hearts of those with the same skills.
- Shapeshift: is a Skill that refers to both borrowing bodies and appearance change. Ruler's specific variation of the ability makes it possible for him to change his form into mist, and become one with the black Mist that permeates the forest. Extremely useful in close-range combat, but little effectiveness against wide-ranging attacks.
- Item Construction: is normally a Caster-class Skill, but through Marchen Meines Leben Ruler made it manifest as a Personal Skill. It is the Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Also, this Skill requires time to gather components and manufacture items. Although this ability is normally only a C rank, with the use of Marchen Meines Leben, Ruler is able to "develop the plot" of the items he crafts, bringing them to the level of the creations of the legendary Alchemist Paracelsus Von Honemheim (EX rank).
- Territory Creation: A skill which quantifies one's ability to create a territory advantageous to them as a Magus. Ruler's EX-Rank in this skill is from his Noble Phantasms Ars Paulina and Aestus Domus Aurea which allow him to create a Workshop beyond space-time and freely remodel the buildings and their functions within respectively.
- Self-Replenishment (Mana): is a Class Skill of the Avenger class, but Ruler was able to gain it as a Personal Skill through Marchen Meines Leben. Magical energy endlessly gushes forth. With an EX rank in this skill, even Ruler's massive magic reserves can replenish themselves from almost nothing to full within less than an hour.
- Independent Manifestation: The ability to manifest independently in the world without a Master. Thanks to the ascension of his Noble Phantasms Enfer Chateau D'lf and Ars Paulina, Ruler's consciousness/soul simultaneously exists within Patchwork Soul in his original body and across all of space-time as a four dimensional construct. As a result, one must be capable of destroying his soul across all of space-time and in the Patchwork Soul outside it simultaneously in order to truly kill him. He is capable of manifesting multiple puppet bodies anywhere within space-time, although each body only has a fraction of his power (although he can make the fraction anywhere from 1% to 99% of his power) and so the more bodies there are, the weaker each one is individually. He can also simulate teleportation and time-travel by dissolving the body at one point in space-time and creating a new body at another. This skill also has the effect of making Ruler a Confirmed Existence by Gaia, Alaya, and even Akasha itself, making his existence extremely difficult to be changed in ways not in accordance with the natural laws, rendering him immune to time paradoxes and instant death attacks, and highly resistant to reality warping and plot manipulation.
