That's also what I think, the MC at level 4 is probably gonna be like Malik, Bernhardt and Henri power-wise on the same level, something that add to that idea is how Berni go out his way to say to tje MC 'You are progressing nicely', a compliment like that even if small from a character like him is very telling, but i don't know if it would set a proper record for Elijah, lost his only two important fights would leave him like an absolute bum.
If I remember correctly, it was said during Nico and Ella's fight that her portals appear at light speed. Xanthe said that at level 4, assuming their abilities are suitable, a superhuman might be able to break physics and do things like at light speed or above.
Ella's eyes back then even probably could estimate just how powerful the 7th's Avatar was like she did with Laurie and knew immediately she was fucked.
Portals aren't light-speed unless Ella can run at light-speed because she surely was dodging those portals left and right in the Deryl Arc. I'm pretty certain that Ella cannot move as fast as Tiffany in her light form. Portals are fast, but not that fast!
Her portals might appear at light speed, doesn't mean she can "attack" at light speed. Imagine a laser gun - it's bolt of light moves at light speed, but your finger pulling the trigger sure isn't. Your taking aim isn't too. Your brain taking info from eyes, analyzing and putting them to the hand isn't too, and even if it was, the eye would move first, the hand second. This can be observed, and exploited.
Tbf body is a power that i'd say might be capable of breaking physics in nearly every way. Basically, by changing your body's makeup into something impossible, which should be possible for a level 4, they should be capable of doing physically impossible things.
Without Apostle or Eye help, purposeful or accidental, he won't. Or at least I wouldn't write it like that unless WW plans on making everyone who isn't at least an Apostle, Alien God, or a Chosen who can incarnate(Valrav'n, Indra, Glae, Eis, Aos is doubtful) level appear weak. It would ruin H.E.R.O as a potential threat to a corrupt path MC if he caught up to them too quickly. Only threats then would be monster or extrauniversal or extraplanal sourced. Unless he plans on ending the game while MC is still level 4. Hmm...
I recall Ella saying she improved her reactions to lightspeed or something like that though.
Right. I didn't think of that, but they aren't light-speed. I refuse to believe it without evidence. He could totally, "Anderson Silva Highlight Dodge"(youtube it) her portals repeatedly. If Michael can dodge lightning as a regular human, Zach can probably dodge her portals. If he closes the distance, he could probably KO with a simple overhand right.
Was Ella's body that broken? Wouldn't that mean that everyone that's managed to land a strike on her was moving at similar speeds at level four?
I agree. Her future capabilities would've been insane had she lived but I don't think she was old enough to have trained long enough to move or react as fast as light.
Yeah, I mean I too don't remember anyone saying her portals appear that fast, but well, I might forgot someone state that. Just saying even if they are it's not like they cannot be outpaced.
Tbf no one other than the big three was a level five for long, since in the Ella vs Clark and Alexis fight they said the formula was completed just recently. And I don't really doubt that a level 5 superhuman's specialty could easily reach the speed of light.
Ella says that she modified her nervous system to give her faster reactions, but she doesn't say by how much. She could have theoretically given herself light-speed reflexes by running fiber optic cables through her body, but that still wouldn't let her move at light speed. The signal would reach her muscles near-instantly, but the muscles would take the normal amount of time to contract. She also probably couldn't perceive at light speed, either, since the receptor molecules in her eyes would have a minimum time required to reset after absorbing a photon. I think it would actually be more harm than good to have a light-speed nervous system. From your perspective you'd get a single flash of images, then hours of darkness as your body so slow it's like it's stuck in cement. It would be torture.
I thank you beforehand just for the effort. I feel she probably could move faster than light in the future if she worked towards it long enough, but not yet! I wouldn't state that editing one's body enough to move that fast would be Ella's specialty. I think a superhuman geared towards super-speed and super-speed alone would have that specialty. Ella's power is Bodily Perfection, but as a Greater Spawn, she lacks the focus necessary for something as specific as light-speed capable running legs or Colossus capable bodily strength. She's more a Champion CrossFitter than a Olympic Powerlifter or Sprinter if you catch my meaning.
Wow, I certainly forgot all of that dialogue, but thanks for the insight still.
I'm glad there's someone here who can enlighten me on the particulars of certain abilities despite my absolutely huge willful ignorance of hard science. When Alice's powers are discussed, I just be like, "
". "What the hell are you talking about?"
