Collector studying

Collector sat down at a desk and opened the "Book of Superior Lifeforms"
He went to the first page, it was very ancient paper, so old that if you were to move it too quickly it would snap, but it didn't.

Collector read the Index
-Introduction (1)
-Superior Beings (3)
-Superior Souls (4)
-Ancient Rituals (6)

[Superior Beings]
A Superior Lifeform, or superior being, can be defined with the word "Superhuman", a being superior in every aspect.
Superior Beings posses greater strength, endurance and speed than normal beings, but have various downsides:
-God tier weapons are extremely effective against them
-They don't posses much physical matter therefore mating is impossible

Collector stops reading this and skips ahead

Superior Beings can be born in different ways, usually their are born from Gods or other Superior Beings, the first is a rare occurrence

If a God were to give birth to a Superior Being with a human, then their son will be weaker in confront to other Superior Lifeforms

Superior Beings can also be animal or any other species that isn't human.

Superior Beings dont posses much physical matter therefore when it comes to death, they will fall in a coma and slowly turn into dust over long or short periods of time(depending on their soul power).
When Superior Beings are in this state, it is called "Dusting".
This state cannot be reversed and it is a sign of imminent death. It would require enormous amounts of Soul Power and Determination to reverse this state, and only one Being known as James Podrozny was able to do such thing.

[Superior Souls]

Superior Souls are the powerhouse of any superior Lifeform and it is extremely important.

In contrast to normal souls, Superior Souls posses magical abilities (even though both normal and superior souls are 100% magical it is unregistered if a normal soul can posses magical abilities), and these abilities can vary depending from their parents or other factors.

Superior Souls are divided into two categories: Normal and Ancient

Ancient Superior Souls are much more powerful than normal Superior Souls and posses even greater abilities, but this category is usually referred to as Godlike.

Superior Souls are magical and so are thier bodies, but their bodies do not have much physical form, thus making Superior Soul not able to do what other Normal Souls can do: For superior Souls there is no afterlife, they cannot reproduce, they cannot give up their powers

When a Superior Being enters the state of "Dusting" their soul will weaken and will almost lose it's magical properties when the body finally dies.

Superior Souls cannot be revived if they crack, but can regenerate their body but they will not posses any memories thus because they do not have any "Spirit" left.

To revive a Super Being you first need their soul, but thier soul alone cannot regenerate their body, you need a source of energy of equal power.

Superior Souls can and will only physically appear once their body is fully dead.

Collector skips a bit

Superior Souls can also posses determination, which allows them to persist and, if one has enough of it, refuse death.

Not many are capable of doing so, little to none actually.

Determination is usually represented with a red energy.
But a Superior Soul can also posses another power, Hate, represented by a black energy
Hate is much more powerful than Determination, and most of the Evil Gods like Hee, the Ultimate God of Apocalypse and *it's scribbled out*, the God of *also scribbled out*, but it can destroy the users soul, and take control of it.

James Podrozny is a unique example, his father, Hee, posses the power of Apocalypse accompanied by Hate, but James instead posses the power of Teleportation, unique, and is accompanied by Determination.

The weird part is that James shouldn't posses such determination to gain over 10000x more power than before and yet he did. It's a phenomenon called "Last Breath" (NOT INTENDED OKAY), so rare it has only been seen once in the past.

"Last Breath" permits one last fight against their foe, it permits enormous power boosts, but at the cost of their lives.
After the effect has ended, they will fall into a conscious Dusting state, where they will feel each part of their body separate and turn into dust.
Their soul will become even weaker then others and probably will shatter time after.

(forgot to add)
A phenomenon known as "Refusing Death" is actually reversing the "Dusting" state.
It can be done few times and each time the soul grows weaker.

But this phenomenon is rare and not many posses enough determination to do so

[Ancient Rituals]

Ancient Rituals used to be made to bring back the dead, while this is true for Normal Beings, Superior Beings do not have an "afterlife" Thus their conscience and spirit are lost along with their memories

Collector skips a bit

One ritual permits the Regeneration of a Superior Beings: "Mortui reditus"

It's a highly forbidden ritual, that will regenerate the body of a Superior Being.

When it is successful, their soul will be 5 times stronger, the same for their strength, speed and endurance.

But if it were to be unsuccessful, their soul will shatter, and their existence lost.

When a Superior Soul is Revived, they will not posses their memories but only recall events or moments before their death.

If they were to die again, their soul will shatter.

There is no known way of gaining the memories back.

Other Rituals include-
