This includes The Void, which is considered a mere "Shadow" in comparison to Valhalla. Able to give The Savior as a completed vessel a close fight in both his first and second forms despite losing.

At Least Multiversal+, likely Far Higher (Unseen Chaos originates from a Higher Dimension known as the "Unseen Realm". Where the concepts of Space and Time are nonexistent due to outright transcending them, along with the stories, information, and memories that makes up the worlds below it, and is completely inaccessible to dimensions below it through normal means. Only by Etro opening her "Gate" can the Unseen Realm be accessed. The Unseen Realm exists above the world of Valhalla.

The void being a structure that is stated multiple times to contain and infinite number of universes and harbor "Extradimensional Spaces" in relation to those worlds)

Standard Equipment: Double Deity (A dual-ended sickle-like weapon formed using Pulse and Lindzei, The Crystals (As a Fal'Cie he is naturally tied to the Crystals)

Intelligence:

• Lightning Returns

Extraordinary Genius: Created the Fal'Cie gods, Hallowed Pulse, Etro, and Lindzei with his will. Bhunivelze also orchestrated the events of Lightning Returns from the beginning, creating the Order of Salvation and playing with the emotions of several members of the cast through the use of promises and illusions, including Lightning and Hope, for much of the game. He also used Hope Estheim, who by that point in the series had become a widely respected and a capable leader as well as an expert on the time paradoxes, as his vessel, acquiring Hope's knowledge on manipulating time and space as well as the ability to experience emotions to better understand and use them to further manipulate his foes to his ends. As the God of Light, he also wields the mightiest magics in the universe, including the ultimate elemental spells and the mighty Ultima and Heartless Angel in addition to nearly-exclusive abilities like the devastating Hypernova and Almagest. He is also aware of all the planes in the universe, easily retrieving Lightning from Etro's throne and taking the two into Cosmogenesis for the final battle. As the mightiest of all Fal'Cie deities, he is also knowledgeable of all things related to Chaos. Which include Space-Time entanglements that have the past and future overlap with one another. Causing impossibilities to come into existence that distort and warp reality just by existing, a paradox. This effect is pretty directly compared to the infamous Schrodinger's Cat experiment, as well as Graviton Ores which are made up of gravitons, which in turn are quantum particles. Also upscales from Eden who created "Orphan's Cradle"

Weaknesses: He is exceedingly arrogant and power-hungry, acquiring emotions has left him feeling terrified of his potential mortality and has left him impatient towards achieving his goal. Weaknesses provided by the "Heart and Soul", and Fal'Cie Weaknesses (up to Top Tier), despite being able to interact with hearts and souls. He is unable to see them.

In addition, he is heavily resistant to all forms of attacks available to Lightning for the duration of this attack.
