Authorities & Symbolisms[]

"He" possesses full authority over the Sublunary Eye Pathway and corresponding symbols, which includes but is not limited to the following:

  • HighDimensionalOverseer crop Sublunary Eye: Authorities, and the Symbols of Dimensionality and Truth.[1][3]
    • This Pathway is a mix of two different Pathways:[4]
      • The Pathway of Dimension. The Sequence 0 name is Sublunary Eye.[5]
      • The Pathway of Fantasy.

Derived from the above, "He" also possesses the following abilities/symbols:

  • Dimensionality: As the Lord of Dimensions, "He" can freely traverse through Higher and Lower Dimensions and affect the Dimensionality of other beings.[1]
    • "He" can counter abilities such as Parasitism, Marionettes, and Blink of the Lord of Mysteries.[1]
      • From higher and lower Dimensions, Spirit Body Threads are tangible and real-something that could be touched. Blink only allowed movement on a small scale, while those Parasitized were bound together into one entity.
    • "He" can swiftly ascend to the tenth dimension to directly disrupt the internal connections of the aggregate forms of the Celestial Master and the Celestial Thearch.[6]
    • "He" can trap others into lower Dimensions.
      • Under "His" gaze, the Celestial Master rapidly thinned, becoming a paper figurine and melding into the surrounding scenery as part of a Painting.[3]
    • "He" can ascend Dimensions to instantly move away from the Galaxy "He" is currently in.[7]
  • Truth: "He" wields the symbolism of Truth, being able to see the true state of things and through obstructions.
    • "He" is unaffected by the Calamity of Destruction's Fog of War.[3]
    • "He" is able to see through Deceit from a higher Dimension and locate the position of a transferred object.[8]
    • "He" can see through the Truth, and discover the weaknesses within the states of existences.
    • This is an ability of the Fantasy Pathway.[9]
  • The Creator of the Painting World:
    • "He" can unfurl the illusory, coiled Strings around "Him" to form a Dimensional Painting that's filled with suns, planets, and a variety of rules and principles.[6]
    • Beings in Higher Dimensions or within "His" Dimensional Painting will not be fully consumed by the explosion of Desires from the Father of Devils, "They" would only enter a brief state of stagnation.[10]
    • Within "His" Paintings, "He" is Omnipotent and Omniscient.[11]
    • The creatures that "He" Paints can reach a level close to Sequence 0.[12]

Countering Symbolisms[]

Symbols of other Great Old Ones can counter some of "His" symbols and powers, which include but are not limited to the following:

  • Lord of Mysteries:
    • Change and Dimensionality in one-on-one scenario mutually counteracts each other.[1]
    • King of Space-Time could hinder the Lord of Dimensions from freely traversing dimensions.[1]
  • Demon of Knowledge:
    • Information is widespread and all-encompassing in hierarchy. It is not restricted by lower Dimensions. Humans were conglomerations of information, and paintings were as well.[3]
      • The Celestial Master turned into a torrent of complex and massive information to escape the High-Dimensional Overseer's Painting World.[3]
    • However, when the High-Dimensional Overseer escaped to the highest dimension, the Celestial Master could only have minimal influence on this domain.[13]
  • The Anarchy:
    • The Celestial Thearch can Order all Dimensions — higher, lower, and the current one — to become interconnected, as though overlaid with layer upon layer of glass barriers.
      • As a result, the High-Dimensional Overseer could no longer increase dimensions unscathed, nor could the Celestial Thearch's dimensions be lowered without maintaining "His" influence on the battlefield.
    • However, when the High-Dimensional Overseer escaped to the highest dimension, the Celestial Thearch could only have minimal influence on this domain.[13]
  • Eternal Darkness:
    • Pallor, which restrains colors, would have a strong restraining effect against the Painting World.[14]

Appearance[]

True Form: An untouchable shadow from a higher dimension. Has a pair of indifferent, clear, and emotionless eyes, as if containing the entire universe.[15][16]

Background[]

According to the Seven Lights, ever since the Oldest One awakened and split apart, the most powerful Outer Deities in the entire universe, including the High-Dimensional Overseer, gathered around this tiny solar system.

Some of "Them" wish to retrieve "Their" sefirot and Beyonder Characteristics that had been ripped from "Them", and were attracted here. Some of "Them" have the hope of getting neighboring Sefirot and high-level characteristics which "They" can accommodate.[17]

High-Dimensional Overseer desired Sefirot related to rules, order, and space-time. Through divination and prophecy, Klein deduced that "He" sought either the Nation of Disorder or the River of Eternal Darkness. If the Great Old Dominators concentrated "Their" efforts on pressing the Lord of Mysteries back into "His" coffin, the High-Dimensional Overseer would also likely seek to accommodate the Door Symbol2 Door Uniqueness and Error Symbol2 Error Uniqueness, and take control of Sefirah Castle.[1]

History[]

As of 1358 of the Fifth Epoch, the High-Dimensional Overseer and "His" followers had been relatively passive, avoiding bloodshed and not frequently engaging in sacrificial rituals. Even if they did, it was usually confined to themselves and those in their immediate vicinity, minimizing the danger.[18]

However, they were not as ‘harmless’ as previously believed and the threat they posed was revealed when The Hostel, a ritual conducted using powers of the Sublunary Eye Pathway, commenced.[18]

During Project Vortex, the medium via which the Outer Deities' power breached the barrier, the Endless Cosmos oil painting, was created by Sage as per the wishes of the High-Dimensional Overseer.[19]

During The Apocalypse, "He" fought against the quasi-Great Old Ones from Earth, mainly the Celestial Master and the Celestial Thearch.

Trivia[]

  • Termiboros once claimed to have knowledge about this Outer Deity but refused to elaborate further.[18]
  • The High-Dimensional Overseer and Monarch of Decay can devour each other; If one of "Them" succeeds and further accommodates Door Symbol2 Door Uniqueness, "They" can attain the King of Space-Time symbolism.[20]
