### Soulstone

Yvlke was also noted to be the owner of Luciel's Soulstones. Yvlke himself showcased the unique ability to "loan" his given Soulstones to another being and allow them to utilize it in order to magnify their powers and abilities.

### Shedding

Yvlke is one of many shedding of the Heavenly Demon. This is why his authority within the Tower was the highest among all floor guardians and admins regardless of his position. As shown when he blocks footage of Cha Yeon-woo from being accessed to other floor guardians within the tutorial. Although he is one of many sheddings, he is also vastly different from them and truly encapsulates the trickster persona of the Heavenly demon. Yvlke is able to wield the same techniques as his main body which equates to the level of his strength.

### Black King

Yvlke is one of the main egos of the Black King. Chap 756 reveals that Sage (Demonism) and Yvlke are the same person.

Due to the Sage/Yvlke being the most powerful Demonisms of the Black King, Yvlke himself had evolved into the Black King's Main Ego and thus was the most powerful one out of the numerous demonisms that consisted the Black King's mind. Due to this, Yvlke had the most access the Black King's powers and the most "darkness" out of all of them.

### Familiars

* **Army of Perished Gods:** Due to the fact that he and the Sage are one and the same, Yvlke also has access to the Sage's collection of Transcendent Beings from other version of the cosmos. The Sage was noted to have collected an Army of "perished" Transcendent Beings that originated from various other "Dreams" of the Black King that was destroyed by him. Due to them essentially being from different iteration and versions of reality, many of them are in fact alternate versions of the same Gods, Giants, Dragons and Demons present within the current version of the cosmos. This is seen where Agares noted that many of the Demons of the Army were different versions of his society of Le'Infernal. The Transcendent Beings themselves are stated to be "dead" inside and are no better than mindless killing machines that follows the Sage/ **Yvlke**'s orders.
