History

Born in the desolate remnants of the Nazamil Nation, Balseph emerged from a fiery quarry, where he toiled from childhood. The harsh environment tempered his spirit and honed his skills, shaping him into a formidable warrior. Despite the gruffness of his speech, he held a deep respect for women, a trait rooted in his upbringing.

Driven by a desire to transcend his origins, Balseph ventured into the perilous world of monster hunting. His prowess with the sword, cultivated through years of quarry labor, allowed him to dispatch ordinary monsters with ease. Yet, witnessing Princess Harley's battle against a monster revealed the vast chasm of his own inexperience, igniting within him a fervent pursuit of mastery.

Through relentless training and countless battles, Balseph sought to unlock his latent potential. His quest led him to acquire the Outer Voidblade Śūnyatā, a weapon of unparalleled power that reshaped the very fabric of creation with each swing.

Yet, amidst his triumphs, shadows of doubt lingered regarding his aptitude for leadership. While his prowess in battle was unquestioned, many questioned his suitability to lead. The annals of history offer scant insight into his capacity as a commander, leaving his leadership potential a matter of conjecture.

As Balseph strode into the heart of the war against the Deus, he confronted formidable adversaries, both mortal and divine. His clash with a mysterious knight, culminating in a fateful duel, remains shrouded in mystery, a testament to the complexities of his journey.

In the annals of history, Balseph's legacy endures as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Disarmonia. Though his path may have been fraught with uncertainty, his courage and tenacity left an indelible mark on the waltz of time, forever etched in the annals of myth and memory.

1. Snakestongue Slash of Conceptual Destruction

Balseph slashes upwards, but this is not just a simple cut—it is a strike that tears at the very meta-possibility of reality. As the blade moves, a bolt of Snakestongue strikes forward, not merely as a physical force but as a transfictional rupture that slices through layers of existence. The bolt itself is a conceptual strike, targeting the essence of what holds the target's being together. Following this, a tornado of Snakestongue arises, an irresistible storm of unmanifest chaos, that tears through everything within its reach. This tornado does not merely shear—it unravels the very nature of being, rending all layers of reality and casting them into nothingness as it continues to spin, each rotation shattering all possibility within its path.

2. Snakestongue Crystal of Ontological Piercing

Balseph thrusts forward with his weapon, and as he does so, a crystal of Snakestongue forms at the target’s location. This crystal is not a material object—it is a transdimensional anchor, drawing upon the unseen forces that permeate all of reality. As Balseph thrusts through the Snakestongue crystal, it explodes, but not in a traditional sense. The explosion is a transcendent breach, a collapse of all conceptual layers around the target. The Snakestongue energy rips through space-time itself, impaling the target not just physically, but erasing their very place in the grand meta-narrative. Their form is unmade, torn apart by the absolute might of Snakestongue, reducing them to nothingness within the blink of an eye.

3. Snakestongue Whirlwind of Chaotic Reconfiguration

Balseph thrusts his blade into the ground, not just creating a simple impact, but shattering the foundation of reality. From the strike emerges a Snakestongue whirlwind, a maelstrom of chaotic energy that does not merely tear through the air—it redefines the very flow of time, space, and being within its radius. As the whirlwind crashes onto the enemy, it does not simply cause damage—it unravels the target’s reality. Each gust of Snakestongue that strikes is a transdimensional ripple, tearing away at the very essence of existence. The whirlwind reshapes the meta-reality of those caught within it, deleting their very existence from all planes, leaving them as unmanifest be-ness. Along with the whirlwind, waves of Snakestongue crash, sending ripples that deconstruct and unmake everything they touch. There is no escape, only the unrelenting force of absolute nullification.

4. Snakestongue Pressure of Transcendental Destruction

A sword of Snakestongue smashes into the ground, but this is no ordinary strike. The blade is imbued with a force that transcends the concept of impact—it is an irresistible command of the unseen forces of reality. Upon striking the earth, it explodes, not in an explosion of matter, but in an uncontainable release of Snakestongue’s charged material, an energy that shatters the concept of existence. This burst does not simply affect the physical—the very fabric of space is torn, and a dome of Snakestongue forms, trapping all within. This is no ordinary prison; it is a transcendental space, where the very laws of existence no longer hold sway. Within this dome, Snakestongue pressure begins to rise, building with a force beyond comprehension. The pressure itself does not simply crush—the targets within are subject to the deconstruction of their being, as the Snakestongue pressure unravels their presence from the grand meta-narrative, leaving them unable to resist as they are erased from reality itself.
