War Destroying the Black Throne Spire[]
In this Blog I will be looking over the the amount of energy needed to destroy the Black Throne Spire from the first Darksiders Game.
But first we need to review how it is done, first, we must look at Straga, the Destroyer's Greatest Chosen, he has been stated to be one with the tower as he bears most of the weight of the Tower and draws power from it's source, the Well of Souls.

So now we will start with the scaling with pixels. [1] Average height of a door is 80 inches. 307 pixels on the screen to War's 296 pixels. 80 * 296 / 307 = 77.1335504886 Inches or 1.95919218241044 Meters.

[2] War's Height: 237px =1.96m
Uriel's Height: 225px = 1.86m
War's Height = 182px = 1.96m
Destroyer's Head = 154.26px = 1.66m
[4] Destroyer's Head Length = 281.49px = 1.66m
Destroyer's Head Width = 92.98 = .55m
[5] Destroyer's Head Width 1 = 104.04px = .55m
Destroyer's Head Width 2 = 170.57px = .9m
[6] Destroyer's Hand = 52px = 3.18m
Destroyer's Head Width = 15px = .9m
Destroyer's Mid Wing = 502.02px = 30.7m
Destroyer's Upper Wing = 264.94px = 16.2m
[7] Destroyer's Wing: 46.61px = 16.2m
Black Throne inner diameter: 1066px = 370.5m [8]
Black Throne inner diameter: 480px = 370.5m
Black Throne Estimated Total Diameter: 1135px = 876.08m
876.08m = 87608cm / 2 = 43804cm Radius
Now it is difficult to estimate the height of the Tower, but since it is surrounded by Thunderstorms, we will estimate it by the height of a cumulus nimbus with this image from wikipedia. [9] So based on the pixel scaling, this is what I came up with from left to right:
- 418px = 12.2km
- 100px = 3km
- 428px = 12.49km (Full Cloud Size)
- 50px = 1.5km
- 478px = 13.95km
And from the images above, it is likely to be some where just right where the Sun is brightest in the clouds, So the Estimated Height is around = 1219200cm
and since it is in the shape of a cylinder, the volume would be = 7.35e+15 cm^3
And from this image below, we can still see chunks of the Tower, so it is likely Fragmentation for Destructive Value, and if you were wondering, it is being hold up by magic. [10]
Before we go to finding the AP, we must find the high-mid-low ends of the structures hollowness.
So now we must multiply the volume of the tower with the Destructive value to get the AP.
High 80% = 7.35e+15 * .2 * 69 = 1.0143e+17 joules = 24.24 Megatons
Mid 85% = 7.35e+15 * .15 * 69 = 7.60725e+16 joules = 18.18 Megatons
Low 90% = 7.35e+15 * .1 * 69 = 5.0715e+16 joules = 12.12 Megatons

Speed of Fury[]
This blog is to determine the speed of Fury's reaction to Pride's laser, first we need to determine the size of the room the two fought in.
From this image below, Fury appears to be the same height as War, in this blog, War is 1.96m. [11]
Now we look at scaling Fury's Height to few architectures (The info is in the image description).
[12]Fury's Height: 442px = 1.96 m Height of column: 353px = 1.57 m
[13]Height of Column: 152px = 1.57 m Length of Door: 445px = 4.6 m Length of Outer Column: 980px = 10.13 m Length of Inner Column: 856px = 8.85 m
[14]589.04px = 10.13m Angle Degrees = 47.27 degrees 662.46px = 11.57m
For the image above, I used [1] to find the actual length of the room, so what I got was 11.57m half way, so multiply by 2 I get 23.14 meters.
So now that we know the estimated diameter of the tower, we need to know how fast the Laser Pride produced travels at, in this video where the Laser activates. Fury can even dodge through it even after activated. Though it appears difficult to determine the speed as the Laser covered the diameter of the room almost instantly.
Revision
So so after Revision by DarkDragon, I found that the Beam does take around .01 seconds to form and .04 seconds to be full power, but .01 seconds is what should be the standard for the beam to reach the other side of the room.
Then we will divide 23.14 meters by .01 seconds and we get 2314 meters per second = 6.75Mach Hypersonic in reaction speed, which is still a bit likely upgraded.
