The world of The Beginning After The End is characterized by a multifaceted power structure in which strength emerges from diverse origins. These range from refined mana cores, ancient Asuran lineage, forbidden Vritra blood magic, to the extraordinary manipulation of reality through Aether. King Grey’s reincarnation into Arthur Leywin’s form leads him to confront beings whose powers surpass mortal imagination, with the continent of Dicathen largely functioning through mana, represented by a spectrum of colors from black to white cores. Meanwhile, the Asuras showcase extraordinary capabilities that defy ordinary comprehension.
This article ranks the strongest characters in The Beginning After The End, focusing on those whose powers have been showcased or can be reasonably inferred based on their destructive potential, tactical ingenuity, or unique abilities that break conventional boundaries.
10 Seris Vritra
The Shadow Schemer
Wielding the Scythe of Sehz-Clar and a master of the enigmatic Void Wind mana art, Seris demonstrates exceptional control over space, gravity, and light distortion. Her true prowess lies not only in her combat skills but also in her strategic mindset and tendency to work behind the scenes. Recognizing Arthur’s latent potential, she embedded herself within Alacrya’s power hierarchy while orchestrating a covert rebellion against Agrona. This masterful schemer can hold her ground against formidable foes and, given sufficient time, has the ability to turn the tide of battle—posing even a threat to Agrona.
9 Puppy
The Soulfire Master
Cadell, despite Arthur’s evolving Aether abilities, remains a fearsome adversary, showcasing strength approaching Low Asura levels. His extensive combat experience and refined techniques earned him the position of Agrona’s most valued warrior, known notably for the slain dragon Sylvia. His mere presence reverberates with fear throughout Alacrya, solidifying his status as the pinnacle of Vritra-blooded Scythes.
8 Windsom
The Dragon Envoy
Acting as Kezess Indrath’s direct envoy, Windsom embodies the immense power synonymous with elders from the Indrath clan. His advanced mana manipulation and possibly limited Aether influence render him exceptionally formidable, even within the Asura ranks. While he primarily served as Arthur’s initial guide to Epheotus, his combat skills should not be underestimated. His participation in a failed mission against Agrona highlighted his effectiveness, as even Aldir felt his presence keenly.
7 She said
The Pantheon Prodigy
With rigorous training under combat master Kordri and deemed a potential bearer of the World Eater magic, Taci is viewed as a harbinger of Asura might. Despite his youth by their standards, his remarkable abilities gained him recognition from Kezess, placing him in a prestigious group of warriors. His clash with Arthur in the Aether-laden Relictombs showcased both his formidable combat capabilities and the limitations of his knowledge.
While Taci boasts impressive mana control and physical abilities emblematic of his Pantheon lineage, his defeat at the hands of Arthur illuminated the distinction between inherited power and the wisdom acquired through experience. Nonetheless, his untapped potential suggests he may eventually eclipse many seasoned Asuras in skill.
6 Centuries
The World Eater
Regarded as the strongest member of his generation within the Pantheon, Aldir wields one of the most devastating techniques known: the World Eater spell. This colossal attack obliterated the Elenoir forest, obliterating both life and mana across a vast landscape in mere moments. As Kezess’s fiercely loyal follower, he demonstrated extraordinary combat skills during a failed operation against Agrona, establishing himself among the top-tier non-leader Asuras.
His profound mastery over mana and commanding presence led Arthur to describe him as a “super predator, ”exemplifying a force of nature whose raw destructive capacity is rivaled by few others.
5 Cecilia Hornsheim
The Mana Legacy
Cecilia, who was reincarnated from Earth into the body of Tessia, commands a unique power that challenges the established norms of the world. As “The Legacy”, she wields complete dominion over the four primary mana elements and their variants, showcasing manipulative skills that surpass those of even the most seasoned Asuras. Despite her lack of combat experience, her astounding aptitude allows her to absorb ambient mana and cores from enemies, generating intricate mana constructs that instill fear even in elite fighters like Wren Kain IV.
Cecilia stands as Agrona’s ultimate weapon against Kezess—an anomaly whose potential for growth appears boundless, limited more by her developing combat tactics than by any ceiling on her latent abilities.
4 Arthur Leywin
The Aether Master
Arthur’s journey has metamorphosed him from a mere mana prodigy into a phenomenon unparalleled in magnitude. Following the loss of his white mana core, he developed a distinctive Aether Core, empowering him to manipulate the fundamental forces that shape reality. This, combined with his Asuran physique, positions him as a true anomaly within the power hierarchy. His mastery of God Runes bestows upon him extraordinary abilities that transcend typical magical practices:
- God Step for instantaneous teleportation
- Aroa’s Requiem for limited time distortion
- Destruction for unparalleled offensive might
- Aetheric Realmheart for perceiving and manipulating mana via Aether
- His companions, Regis and Sylvie, further enhance his capabilities
Having triumphed over Taci, faced multiple Scythes in battle, and minimally clashed with Agrona, Arthur’s growth trajectory suggests he possesses seemingly infinite potential as his understanding of Aether continues to deepen.
3 Mordains
The Phoenix Mystery
Presumed to be the leader of the Asclepius Clan, Mordain—a former close confidant of Kezess—remains enigmatic, having opted for self-imposed exile following the Djinn genocide. As a Phoenix, he is likely to possess extraordinary proficiency in Vivum arts, which pertain to life and healing. His strength is suggested more through the narrative depth and implied power than through demonstrable feats. His status nears that of other Great Clan leaders, igniting speculation about his potential knowledge of Aether, as well as any training he provided to Rinia.
While still relatively unknown, his significant relationship with Kezess and his potential behind-the-scenes influence render him one of the most formidable entities in the TBATE universe.
2 Agrona Vritra
The Sovereign Scientist
Agrona, the High Sovereign of Alacrya and leader of the Vritra Clan, compensates for his lesser raw mana power compared to Kezess through an exceptional intellect and groundbreaking research. His expertise in decay-type mana arts, accompanied by a profound understanding of runes and spellforms garnered from Djinn experiments, grants him remarkable capabilities. His prowess in manipulating souls and memories, orchestrating reincarnation, and executing continental-wide strategies showcases his strategic genius.
He engineered an unnatural power surge for the Vritra Clan and compelled Kezess into a treaty, leveraging Epheotus’s military superiority to his advantage, thus solidifying his role as a sophisticated antagonist for Arthur. Arthur has noted Agrona’s ambition to surpass even Kordri’s power, establishing his profile as one of the two most powerful entities in the realm.
1 Kezess Indrath
The Dragon King
At the pinnacle of power in The Beginning After The End stands Kezess Indrath, the revered King of Dragons and sovereign of Epheotus. His mere presence exerts an overwhelming pressure on his peers, showcasing an unparalleled mastery of the Indrath clan’s Aether arts—particularly in space and time manipulation.
With extensive reserves of mana, a potent King’s Force, and unrivaled strategic prowess refined over countless millennia, Kezess is unchallenged as the ultimate power within this universe. While Agrona’s formidable intellect and unique abilities present his primary challenge, Kezess remains the definitive benchmark against which all others are measured, a being whose full potential is still waiting to be fully realized.
