| ~ The Archon to Fuyunoshio about her own brother |
Mirai Kikite, better known as The Knight, is a major antagonist in the later arcs of Destined Misfortune, where his two main purposes was to hunt the main cast down and to gain power in order to reign and rewrite the entire multiverse. Since then, he has been on the hunt for several cosmic entities in order to achieve more power and techniques that allow him to defeat and overtake both the main cast and the antagonistic authorities.
At the end of the series, he became The Archon after absorbing the souls of The Five Kings upon their defeat; which granted him a power beyond the multiverse's reach itself. His desire to rewrite everything that is and once was ended up bringing the worst of himself as the power he once possessed turned against him, ultimately causing his downfall.
Personality[]
Even though at first glance he may seem like a loyal person to have by your side, Mirai won't doubt to betray and switch to the side he sees as more convenient to reach his goal. He in fact does have quite the reputation for doing the previously stated actions, with his starts on the rotten morality he currently has being how his master was able to see beyond his false positive intentions, which led to Mirai being left alone within the universe.
In a sense you could probably compare him to a wild predator, albeit he's not as aggressive as one when he wants something... Most of the times. The Knight won't doubt in betraying even his closest allies whenever he feels the time to switch sides, or even the time to not be in any side for a while has finally come. Awaiting in literally any place anybody could think of, he observes for either anyone that can prove to be useful for him to advance further into his current main goals, or for anyone who could pose a serious threat for said goals. Mirai never lets go of a single opportunity unless it's microscopically small on his eyes, as he also does anything to preserve his opportunities and chances intact.
It was revealed at the very end of the series that the very root of all his goals was not to reign over all of the multiverse like the current antagonists did, but to destroy and rebuild all of it to the very shape and ideals of his mindset. Even though the way he tried to accomplish his goals was very ruthless and villainous, the ends he had in mind weren't exactly evil; the only thing he strived for was to recreate the multiverse with an absolute balance between good and evil, to create a world that was virtually incapable of being destabilized towards one way or another.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (One-handed swords), Energy Manipulation (Similarly to other characters in the later end of the series, Mirai can use his energy for both offensive and defensive utilities, such as creating an aura around his body, shoot energy or create barriers to tank through attacks), Regeneration (Mid-Godly, was capable of regenerating from being erased by The Void, which completely wipes out the body, mind and soul of anybody who is absorbed by it), Cosmic Awareness (Shown to be aware of the main cast's location at all times, and specially of Hikari's, having tracked him even when being inside of his own head), Dream Manipulation (Can warp the nature of anyone's dreams and turn them into nightmares or simply turn them into a blank void. He can even take it a step further and shut someone's consciousness down in order to dive into their dreams), Acausality (Type 2; time travellers only exist in their present timeline, and The Knight is no exception to this as he drove the time travel machine through almost the entirety of the series), Accelerated Development (Battle), Reality Warping via Hand of God (Can alter the properties of all of his movements as he sees fit to almost any extent, as well as warp his surroundings and even himself. Hand of God could go as far as warping energy attacks to erase people from existence, operating with Quantum Strings or even imposing absolute authority upon everybody else. Has been shown to use this power to negate Hikari's time manipulation powers and copying the powers of those who he defeats as a throphy of his victory), Physics Manipulation with his sword (Can essentially stop any ranged attacks regardless of strength by manipulating the physics around him such as friction, pressure, drag, etc), Time Travel (Is able to travel through time by himself, albeit he chooses to travel with the time travel machine along the main cast for personal purposes), Immortality (Types 1, 2, and 3), Fusionism (With the rulers), Information Manipulation (Obtained upon absorbing the Roots Of The Multiverse, a 4-dimensional structure made purely out of every bit of information contained within the multiverse it was located on.

Later on, he drove Hikari into a severe state of Atychiphobia (fear of failure) upon forcing him to dive deep into his darkest nightmares).

Attack Potency: Universe level+ (1 universe. Far outclasses most cosmic beings who can tamper with and destroy entire space-time isolated universes with their magic. Has enough power to affect, alter and destroy the entirety of the void covering the multiverse), Low Multiverse level with Hand of God (Could affect the Roots Of The Multiverse, a structure that accumulates all information and data across the multiverse, which on its own consists on at least 20 known time-isolated universes, the void and several pocket dimensions) | Low Multiverse level (26 universes. Vastly stronger than the Five Kings as he had absorbed their souls, who in turn govern over the entire multiverse and reign over every other being within it), far higher in Beast Form (Described as "the most powerful entity alive within this crumbling world", which would place him above the likes of The King's scion. Could hold a prolonged fight against Yuu's true form on his first activation of this form, who's power shook the entire multiverse from within Hikari's headspace and grew exponentially as time went on. Overpowered Hyperbliss State Hikari who in turn was far stronger than The Archon without his beast form and fought as an equal against his Multiversal God Form; survived an attack from Unstable Awakening Fuyunoshio that had eviscerated Tenebris in a single shot, albeit barely).
Speed: Massively FTL+ (Can travel back and forth through the entire universe in arguably less than a planck second) | Massively FTL+, far higher in Beast Form (Ludicrously faster than before. Can keep up in a fight with Yuu's true form).
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Infinite (Stopped The King's sword without being crushed in the process; which weights the same as the combined size of the verse's main universe and the void, with both being infinite in size).
Striking Strength: Universal+ (Far stronger than most cosmic beings within the verse which can destroy, create or even embody entire universes with their own timelines) | Low Multiversal (Has the power to rule over the entire multiverse and can destroy all of creation with little effort), far higher in Beast Form.
Durability: Universe level+ (Was able to come back seemingly physically unaffected from EoS Base Hikari's trump card technique, which consisted of jailing the opponent inside of a paralell universe and compressing all of its dimensions until it essentially collapsed onto itself ceasing to exist. Can tank attacks from most beings within the range of strength he is at) | Low Multiverse level (Can take blows from Yuu's true form without receiving many injuries. Objectively has enough power to survive through the destruction of all creation if it ever was to happen; that being something that even he stated to be fully convinced of), far higher in Beast Form.
Stamina: Seemingly Infinite (In the full span of every battle he's fought he has seemingly not gotten tired even once).
Range: Standard Melee Range with hands and sword, Low Multiversal with magic and time travelling | Standard Melee Range with hands, Low Multiversal with magic and time travelling.
Standard Equipment: The Knight's Edge, his sword of preference blessed by Hand of God.
Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (Upon absorbing the Roots Of The Multiverse, he managed to gain knowledge about everything and everybody bound within the limits of the multiverse. The only bound to the knowledge he had attained was anything unrestricted and transcendental from the multiverse itself).

The Knight's Edge: Mirai's weapon of choice, a sword that he blessed by Hand of God to achieve the infusion of special properties to it. Other than being both indestructible and bound to The Knight himself, his sword has the capability of stopping any ranged attacks thrown at him regardless of power by manipulating the world's physics in his favor.
