Battlefield: The entire Universe(This includes all verses ever created real or not) and beyond + The spacetime continueum itself. Heaven, Hell, and Limbo are no exception. All these places are inhabited by nothing except the 2 beings fighting.

Prep-time: Lol they already know everything about each other, they dont need prep.

Bloodlust: Yea, its on.

To make it fair, God cannot strip The Shrike of his powers The Shrikes abilities.


Credit to EndlessMike for this info on the Novel and powers of "The Shrike", and to Crimson King on making a battle with him in it thus making me acknowledge his existence. And lasty to spiritgun for posting the link. Ive since read the novel myself so I can verify the info as fact.(very good book btw).

Powers of The Shrike, so you know what God is up against.

Are we talking about God from the Hyperion Novels, or God as in the one worshipped today by Judeo-Christian religions? If it's the latter, then the Shrike stands no chance.

God is Omnipotent (all powerful), Omnipresent (everywhere and everytime) and Omniscient (aware of everything at every time). There has never been a point where he has been weak, and due to the fact that he also exist in all timelines, the Shrike would be absolutely and utterly powerless to do anything back.

True. It's hard to see how the Biblical-Canon God (BC God) could ever feel a bloodlust when none can challenge him in the first place. For one thing, BC God already wouldn't have to lift a finger as he would already know how the Shrike is supposed to naturally end. And even then, the fact remains that essentially, everything under the universe is still technically a creation of God, no matter how indirect. Explaining why he will always be the ultimate cosmic admin for all of eternity, no matter how crazy powerful (from man's POV) things start to get from here on. The Shrike and his (impressive :amazed) abilities being no exception.

It doesn't matter how fast the Shrike moves. BC God is already there.
It doesn't matter how many infite duplicates he summons to the scene. BC God already has already countered with infite duplicates + 1 (and still manage sto have enough "duplicates" left over to record what you had for breakfast today).
It doesn't matter how hard of a direct energy blast the Shrike is known to take...

...
Only BC God is known to casually burp out an entire Big Bang, only to acquire a business-as-usual outlook toward the whole thing.

In fiction, you usually (if at all) can't find Yahweh's existence being directly threaten without some list of nerfs put in place by the author (as Biblical-Canon God is simply immune to idea of ever experiencing a direct life-threatening conflict).

Therefore, a list of how excately how God is nerfed in the context of the Hyperion Books would be very helpful. Otherwise...

Well. I'm sure BC Big G will be amused at the very least. :grin He would then cleanse Shrike of its sins before letting it go to do whatever. The universe becomes a safer place.

BC God ftw by conversion. :hug

The God in the Bible lost to a bunch of guys with Iron Chariots.

Hmm, if I am right about this, you are referring to Jesus, who never tried to fight, right?

No, this was the Old Testament. Judges 1:19.

I looked it up and you're right. I haven't read that book (reading Genesis and Exodus right now).

Oh well, Shrike wins, I guess.
