Talk:Ex-Machina/@comment-2804:18:602D:1A0F:A1DB:C314:5F65:F440-20191128005418

As a race the Ex-Machina are nothing worth of mention in strenght; However, their ability to communicate via a hive mind, perfect mathematical calculation and access to an arsenal of 27,451 weapons make their clusters the most lethal beings ever to step foot on Disboard. Forget burning the surface of the planet, the Ex-Machina are capable of reflecting every attack directed at them to produce a foccused reflection that can do anything from securing the Sunniaster (NGNL Vol 6, portrayed in the movie) to disintegrating the whole planet (NGNL Vol 8).

Very few works make clear of how powerful vector manipulation is, one of them being "A Certain..." series. It is simply wordbreaking, putting it blunty. And in Disboard, only the Ex-Machinas are capable of doing it. Why and how this works is the only mystery never explained to this day by the author. Nonetheless, this is something beyond even the crazy power levels of Disboard, and raises the question of why the Ex-Machinas evolved to be so efficient at war without finding any reason for their existence along the way.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they could only take Artosh head-on when he and his "daughters" were weakened. The Ex-Machina, working together with the humans (and how those same humans manipulated other races to aid in the gathering of a high enough energetic budget) weakened them at the cost of almost no downs, and when the time came, they slayed the strongest being on the planet without even using all of their numbers; Moreover, they did so without even having a powerful blow to redirect, which may as well mean that they could tackle the weakened god of war with just a fraction of their power.

So there it is, the true god slayers. No matter how strong the Flugel were, being just a portion of Artosh's being, they could never ever hope of slaying their father if they decided to, weakened or not.
