Sequence 9: Tramp

New Abilities

• Hunger: Tramps will lose everything and are always searching for food, barely surviving.
  • Its ability to adapt to its environment is enhanced, and it develops competent street-fighting skills.
  • Its overwhelming craving for food becomes its primary drive—rendering other Desires significantly muted while its resistance and digestive capabilities become notably stronger.

Sequence 8: Glutton

New Abilities

• Digestive Enhancements: At this Sequence, hunger and the want for food truly becomes ingrained in the Beyonder's body, allowing them to evolve around it:
  • Such enhancements encompass:
    • Possessing strong, powerful teeth, and a bite force that exceed normal limits.
    • Internal organs that are better suited for digesting food and absorbing energy.
    • Being resistant to most toxins, viruses and bacteria that are inside food.
    • Being able to derive different abilities from food more efficiently.
  • Though this resistance has its limits, as many Gluttons perish from indiscriminate consumption.

Strengthened Abilities

• Hunger: A Glutton's appetite will exceed human limits.

Sequence 7: Gourmet

New Abilities

• Ingredient Analysis: The core ability of a Gourmet. With it, they can Analyze and discern various Ingredients and their corresponding properties for cooking.
  • They are able to Analyze whether or not certain Ingredients are able to be consumed.
  • They are able to Analyze which Ingredients can bring along certain special effects.
  • They know what Ingredients to combine together to achieve a maximum effect.
  • They can extract certain information or memories from the consumed food.

Strengthened Abilities

• Digestive Enhancements: Their digestion and consumption abilities will improve further.

Sequence 6: Chef

Individual Differences

Every Chef has different characteristics and abilities due to the food they’ve Cooked.

New Abilities

• Cooking: Chefs are able to use special ingredients to create mystical dishes, pastries, drinks, and cocktails that can give effects and abilities that are either permanent or temporary.
  • A Chef is not actually able to consume entire Beyonder characteristics yet. For now, a Chef is only able to use Beyonder characteristics as mystical ingredients for their dishes.
  • As long as a Chef embraces their hunger and greed, there won’t be an upper limit to the number of permanent effects a Chef can obtain through various mystical foods.
    • Similarly, there’s no limit to the number of negative effects they can gain from their dishes too.
    • Although the strength of these abilities is far less than those acquired by other methods like Grazing or Recording.
  • Depending on the ingredients and finished products, the mystical dishes or cocktails with permanent effects created by a Chef will bring forth a variety of downsides.
    • Similar to the permanent effects gained, there’s no limit to the number of negative effects.
    • These downsides are significantly weaker than those a Contractee will face.
  • Examples of the permanent effects a consumer can gain from a Chef's dishes are:
    • Gaining potent self healing capabilities that are only outrivaled by a Vampire.
    • Altering one's lineage to become a symbolic "child" of a certain entity.
    • Having one's infertility completely cured.
    • Being able to easily use Cogitation.
• Ingredient Processing: Chefs have excellent skills in Processing ingredients.
  • They are excellent in the technique of cutting, chopping, and slicing.
  • They can find and exploit weaknesses within ingredients.

Sequence 5: Depriver

New Abilities

• Deprivation: They can strip one to three abilities from a target for a period of time.
  • If they then consume part of the target’s flesh, they permanently gain one of those abilities, and the target permanently loses it unless they drink a potion again or kill the corresponding Depriver.

Strengthened Abilities

• Digestive Enhancements: They are able to consume Corruption to a certain degree, as well as fireballs, lightning, and other energy forms with their digestive system.
• Ingredient Processing: They are able to Process Corruption, fireballs, lightning, and other energy forms and use them as ingredients for their Cooking.
• Cooking: They are able to Cook more unique and eccentric dishes.

Sequence 4: Sea Monster

Strengthened Abilities

• Physical Enhancements: Transforms into a truly colossal being—a veritable sea monster—capable of consuming 10 to 20 tons of food in one feeding.
• Digestive Enhancements: With the strength and vitality of a Sea Monster, it can execute devouring attacks, directly consuming Beyonder characteristics and Mystical Items of other Pathways, then utilize its abilities to devour, digest, and store them for future use.
  • This process does not cause it to lose control, but it gradually accumulates both madness and an ever-growing hunger.

Sequence 3: Hydra

Strengthened Abilities

• Digestive Enhancements: The Beyonder characteristics and Mystical Items it devours are digested and absorbed, evolving into additional bodies and heads for the Sea Monster.
  • They can launch 9 simultaneous attacks.

Sequence 2: Angel of Devouring

Authorities

• Devouring: "They" begin to master the authorities of Devouring and Erasure. "They" can Devour almost all physical things, rules and shallow-level concepts governing a given area.
  • There are limits to the number and range of things that can be Devoured and it cannot directly Devour an entire area or tangible target.
  • To Devour physical targets, "They" instead have to create a vortex in "Their" mouths.
  • "They" can Devour various concepts within an area.
    • Depending on how it was Devoured, a Devoured concept can recover on its own with time or permanently disappear from a targeted range unless outside Beyonder powers interfere.
      • Ludwig Phil Devoured the concept of "gold" from a chandelier, causing it to dull and blacken. And with interference from Lumian Lee, the concept was returned.
  • "They" can Devour the rules in the surrounding area.
    • Similar to Devouring concepts, a Devoured rule can also recover depending on how long it was Devoured, taking between one to three minutes.
    • Any rule "They" Devour can be replicated by "Them" once. Repeated use of a rule requires "Them" to Devour the source of such rules.
      • Ludwig Phil Devoured the rule of sunlight illumination and engulfed a space in darkness. Later, "He" replicated the use of that rule to bring back light within the place

Mythical Creature Form

• "They" become full Mythical Creatures. "They" appear as a dark vortex revealing bared white teeth and chaotic liquid encompassing all colors—much like an abstract, living stomach.

Sequence 1: Chaos Gastric Juices

Authorities

• Devouring: "They" are the embodiment of the authority of Devouring and serves as the cleanser of the universe.
  • Except for the mental imprints of the Great Old Ones, Uniqueness, Sefirot, and Beyonder characteristics themselves, everything else can be Digested and Erased—even "Their" own brain and wisdom.
    • “They” can Devour things such as “emotions”, “memories”, “spirit”, “consciousness”, “night”, “day”, “good”, “evil”, “order”, and “disaster”.
    • “They” can now directly Devour an area in reality and everything in it.
      • The Box of Great Old Ones could Devour everything around it if the third layer were to be opened.
  • "Their" domain is not merely eating and Devouring; it also governs Digestion, Utilization, and Erasure. Unlike Concealment—which simply hides and can later be recovered—this power leaves nothing behind.

Sequence 0: Tail-Devourer (Self-Devourer, Gluttony)

Description

The Sequence 0 name means devouring oneself, digesting oneself, and growing oneself anew.

Authorities

• Convergence & Hunger: Masters the authority of Convergence and Hunger, constantly striving to Devour everything—even itself—to achieve the ultimate Convergence and a corresponding sense of satiety.
  • Because of "Their" authority over Convergence, even if "They" lack the explicit ability to Devour and Digest, the Tail-Devourer can still influence Fate to some extent.
