Powers and Abilities[]

Using the boon transformed Gilad Anni-Padda, once the transformation ended his mind, soul, spirit, body and very existence were permanently altered, granting him the following abilities

  • Immortality: The soul is made invincible, forcing them to live out their existence forever. Immortality unties the soul from the physical body, which is just recreated as necessary, although the subject still retains all bodily sensations and functions. In this sense one is separated from the cycle of life and death, rendering their existence to be completely independent from the concepts of reality, granting them complete and perfect immortality. The effect is irreversible and cannot be copied or interfered with, they will always be restored to pinnacle condition. 
    • ​Eternal Youth: The boon restored to him to pinnacle youth, he is incapable of aging, decaying, rotting, etc. He will never become ill, has no imperfections, possesses a perfect physiology and will never be able to die. 
    • Regenerative Healing Factor: Every injury shall cease; critical injuries will be healed in a matter of days. Complete destruction results in complete restoration.
    • Apathy: Is fully capable of experiencing emotions, but those feelings do not play a prominent role in his thought processes. Brain waves are very calm, akin to a zen monk. As such immune to depression, mental illness, etc.

When a normal man repeatably punched him, he felt no discomfort and the assailant hurt his hand. His durability was such that he was unfazed by a entire building collapsing on him. Even when he was shot at close range, rather than penetrating through his chest, the bullets were lodged in his muscles.
