Destruction Energy

*"Destruction energy is one of the most volatile and powerful types of godly energy. Used by a trained master or God of Destruction, it is one of the most powerful weapons in the multiverse. Used by an untrained individual, it could cause untold amounts of destruction"*

-Midas explaining the power of destruction energy

## Overview

Destruction Energy is one of the 6 Progenytor energies, which are the driving forces in the universe. One of the members the Quad, it is the direct counterpart to Lore Energy and a distant relative to Chaos Energy. It is the most volatile, destructive and powerful of the Progenytor energies, being capable of destructive feats unrivalled by any of its counterparts. Due to this, Destruction Energy is one of the most powerful and dangerous natural forces in existence, being revered by its users and greatly feared by the very few who survive an encounter with it. When harnessed by experienced users, it becomes an unstoppable weapon of mass destruction able to decimate any foe. However, if left unchecked, it becomes a terrifying force that consumes any and everything in its path. It was first introduced by Brian Rookiechief, who accidentally tapped into its bottomless power while training with Midas, his counterpart from the Dead Universe. Ever since then, it has become a staple of Brian's arsenal and will continue to be a major player in his story, serving as a divine weapon for which he can use to smite his foes.

## Usage and Power

Destruction Energy, despite its highly volatile and destructive nature, has been focused and used as a powerful tool by characters such as Brian and Midas Rookiechief, to devastating effect. If done correctly, it is undeniably the most powerful weapon in the multiverse, able to fell anything from armies to Ultramites with relative ease, at least when compared to the other means of fighting them. However, this is often easier said than done, as a potential user requires extremely intense training in order to even come close to achieving such a high proficiency with the energy. As stated by Midas, a master of using Destruction Energy, using it requires the user to enter a certain mental state, devoid of all thought and emotion. Upon entering this mental state, the user is able to maintain control over the highly volatile Destruction Energy, and can then utilise it in whatever way they desire. If not, the user can quickly lose control of the volatile energy, causing massive harm and even death to themselves and others around them. However, this seems to have been debunked by Brian in later story arcs, as he was able to masterfully utilise the volatile energy while in an extremely bloodlust and rage-induced state. This shows that in order to properly use the energy, the user may only require a level of extreme focus, and that emotions may not actually influence how well they handle Destruction Energy. In either case, upon gaining full control over it, the user is able to utilise it a number of ways that essentially make them Gods.

The most basic form of using Destruction Energy as a weapon is the Hakai, where the user focuses an undetermined amount of energy into a certain part of their body (usually the palms of their hands, as with Brian and Midas) and then releases that energy into a target, usually via physical contact. The amount of energy that can be focused into the technique can greatly vary, giving the Hakai a high degree of versatility and the ability to be used for a variety of tasks, whether that may be breaking the hinges on a door or erasing skyscrapers from existence. When used lethally, the Hakai has been shown to be able to destroy objects as large as skyscrapers with relative ease. However, the Hakai does seem to have a size limit, as was seen when Brian tried to destroy a continent using the technique, only to greatly injure his arm in the process. This has led to the conclusion that the size of the objects that can be destroyed is directly tied to the users skill level. Midas has hinted that it can also be used to destroy entire planets with a high enough mastery, raising the possibility for Brian to learn such capabilities in the future. The technique has also been se

Upon gaining further experience with the Hakai, Brian was able to develop a new technique where he focused Destruction Energy into his fists and other limbs, which greatly augments his physical combat capabilities and the amount of damage he is able to inflict. When using the technique, the veins of Brian's body glow and pulse with a bright purple colour, especially around the limbs where the energy is primarily focused. When using this technique, Brian is capable of massive feats of destruction, being able easily to level a skyscraper with a regular punch.
