Wiz: Space and time are powerful entities, concepts that make up our world and how they operate. Boomstick: And because of this, the strongest beings are the ones that can mess up space and time the best. Wiz: Like Bill Cipher, the two dimensional dream demon. Boomstick: And Asriel Dreamurr, the absolute lord of hyperdeath.
Wiz: In this battle we'll be observing these two god-like beings in a one on one brawl. There's a misconception that both are immune to physical damage, but seeing as Bill could be punched by the Shacktron and Asriel was only immune because a child was at best swinging a knife at him, there's no real conclusive evidence for immortality in either of these characters. I'm Wiz and he's Boomstick and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and abilities to see who would win a Death Battle.
Wiz: Bill Cipher is a being shrouded in mystery, and every answer about his past only raises further questions. Boomstick: Looking at all sources of information, it's clear that Bill Cipher was a being of the second dimension, and was something of an anarchist who burned the whole world down. Wiz: And despite the implication that he actually regrets doing so giving by the Axolotl, Bill hopped universes to repeat the process on the third, then presumably the fourth and so on.
Boomstick: In his base form, Bill is a bodiless demon only capable of interacting with the mindscape. In this form he can haunt nightmares, possess bodies, and manipulate the dream scrape, and otherwise drive his victims mad. Wiz: He cannot however physically harm his enemies in any way, shape, form, or fashion, and can only trick people into hurting themselves/hurting each other.
Boomstick: Plus he can be easily driven off by having more control over the mind than he has, or by just straight up ignoring him. Wiz: He's a sociopath who innately has knowledge of hundreds of thousands of things from throughout time and space. He's said to be older and more twisted than anything else that naturally forms in our dimension, and can usually find exactly what it is that bothers a target even if they've met before.
Boomstick: But there's more to this triangle man than mind games. If he manages to open a rift in space time, or get ahold of one made by other people, he an manipulate it to tear a hole into his own dimension and let the energy of the nightmare realm spill into others. Wiz: Doing this allows Bill to take on a physical form, and with a physical form, his powers jump from unnerving, to nearly unbeatable.
Boomstick: He can teleport himself and others, bring life to inanimate objects, reshape the physical world around him at will, grow and shrink his own body, produce multiple limbs for attack, create bubbles of pure madness, bubbles containing entire separate pocket realities, turn living matter into solid stone or gold, produce fire and illusions, levitate other objects, and resist the time and reality manipulation of others. Wiz: He can even resist the powers of time travels, including the literal god of time, which took the form of a seven hundred ton baby.
Boomstick: And then blast him to dust with a single shot lazer shot from his finger! That kind of power could wipe out an entire mountain range! Wiz: Indeed, and when striking the Shacktron, the force released created a crater so deep the combat robot was to its waist in the ground, and Bill hardly seemed to be exerting himself at all. The machine only survived because of a spell specifically meant to counteract his magic.
Boomstick: But as cool as he is, Bill isn't invincible. He can be erased from existence if he's possessed a mind that gets destroyed, and the specific way to defeat him is by hitting him with a human energy circuit that forces the energy of ten human beings at him at once. Wiz: In the show this is depicted as requiring ten human beings, but closer attention indicates that this is actual a result of those specific ten being the ones that seers in the past predicted would do it, and in fact any ten humans could do it so long as they had a way to attack with the raw power of their life force. The wheel itself isn't even necessary.
Boomstick: Not to mention that his weirdness can be magnified towards locations of high 'weirdness', or otherworldly magic, and become trapped there. Math can kill this effect, but Bill himself has never been able to do it, and didn't even know about the effect until he was already suffering for it. Wiz: Bill is deadly smart, but when angered he begins overlooking obvious details and missing things that become his end, such as forgetting how many kids are left to deal with, or not noticing the number of fingers on the hand he's shaking.
Boomstick: But when Bill's dealing with someone less intelligent then him, he may as well be playing them like a game of chess. With a board that catches fire!
Wiz: Imagine being a shell of yourself, having all the memories of who you are, but none of the emotions attached to them. Asriel Dreamur, prince of the monsters, lived in this form as Flowey for what amounts to centuries worth of repeated time. During this time he was running on cold logic and a vendetta left behind by the human soul of Chara, and the determination left within.
Boomstick: Eventually another human fell into the underground who broke the loop, and Flowey's new mission to destroy them was born. With a seventh human soul in the underground, Flowey could attempt to become a god by absorbing all seven of them into his being. Dozens of timeline fuckery later, he succeeded, and returned to the form of Asriel.
Wiz: But even then his mind was warped and twisted, desiring only to return everyone to the loop to prevent any change from occurring. In his god of hyperdeath form, Asriel can manipulate and change the timeline, and is immune to normal physical attacks as well as other time manipulation from others. He seems capable of taking the battle into a subspace for battle, fighting in a sort of neon battle realm.
Boomstick: Asriel can attack with fire balls, exploding stars, bolts of lighting with shocker breaker, chaos saber which summons to blades that strike extremely fast before turning into bullets, and chaos buster, a particle gun that's final attack is a rainbow death beam. Wiz: In addition, all of these attacks have more powerful versions, respectively galacta blazing, shocker breaker II, chaos slicer, and chaos blaster.
Boomstick: When Asriel's ready to end a fight, he'll call on the Hyper Goner, an attack that takes the form of a giant goat skull that sucks in the entire world around it. Wiz: But should someone survive the Hyper Goner, Asriel will use his most powerful ability, and shift into his Angel of Death form, fulfilling a grim prophecy of death and despair.
Boomstick: In his angel of death form Asriel can fire infinite energy blasts to slowly chip away a target's power. He's still immune to physical attacks, and while it would technically be possible to attack with energy and other magic, the chances of hitting hard enough to kill him at this point are roughly the same as your chances of successfully breaking through a brick wall with nothing but your skull and a bendy straw.
Wiz: That said, there are ways around his attacks. All of his attacks are avoidable for a certain amount of time, and his strategies become predictable the longer the battle continues. Furthermore, it's possible to communicate with the souls he's absorbed and convince them to rebel against him, either violently so they forcibly try to escape, or passively by triggering his ability to feel emotion again.
Boomstick: Doing the former reduces him back to Flowey in a state too weak to fight back, and doing the latter reduces his kickass facto by reducing him to a sobbing child who really didn't want to hurt anyone. Wiz: Yes, Asriel's emotions are his greatest downfall, hence his going out of his way to avoid them. But with the strategies of thousands of lives, and power of seven full human souls, there's not much anyone can do to top the absolute god of hyperdeath.
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, now it's time to end this debate. Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
Dipper and Mabel had gone exploring in the mountains, and fallen into the underground. Dipper fearfully avoided the monsters, while Mabel attempted to befriend as many as possible. She ran immediately up to Flowey, hugged him, and was killed instantly by a barrage of friendliness pellets. Taking her soul, Flowey went to steal the remaining six from Asgore and ascend.
Dipper, in a fit of rage, used the book to summon Bill, promising him anything in return for his getting Mabel back for him. "Whatever you say kid." He said misceviously, shaking Dipper's hand before vanishing from view and appearing inside the throne room, where Asriel had already absorbed the other human souls. "Nice OC kid, where's you're real body?" Bill laughed. Asriel glared, "You shall be the first to be erased."
Fight!
Asriel let out a stream of fireballs, all of which passed harmlessly through Bill Cipher. "Mindscape kid, not how this works." Asriel flew to the dream demon, trying to cut through him with chaos saber. Bill reclined back as though on a bed, letting Asriel slash uselessly at him and through him for several moments. The swords became bullets, flying into Bill and again doing nothing.
"Welp, bored now." Bill said, snapping his fingers. The world around them became a dark grey as they entered the mindscape. "What is this!?" Asriel questioned. "You're in the mind kid," Bill said, growing larger in front of the goat monster, "I kinda rule this place!" He laughed, firing a blast from his eye. The beam threw Asriel back. He felt no pain from the attack, as it wasn't hitting him physically, but he still felt as though he were in danger as Bill floated down in front of him, "You wanna give now, or go a few more rounds first?"
Asriel held out his hands, firing Star Blazing at Bill. The stars exploded around Bill. His body was knocked around, but no actually damage was done. "Nice try kid, but for a boss monster you're kinda weak. What would Chara think?" He questioned, Asriel's eyes widening, "H-how do you know about that?" "I know lots of things kid," Bill said ominously, "When I said we're in the mind, whose mind did you think I meant?" Bill gestured to the hall, now populated by doors leading to Asriel's memories.
"Let's see if I can go for the sweep!" Bill said, pointing his hand at Asriel like a gun and blasting him into one of least favorable memories; the memory of him being killed by humans while trying to bury Chara. Bill shut and locked the door, trapping Asriel in the mental torment of him. "Man, I don't know why the kid needed me for this. Guess I'm just that gre-"
Bill was cut off by an explosion of rainbow color. "Enough of this!" Asriel roared, breaking out of the mindscape, and breaking passed reality in general. "Woah! How'd you do that kid?" Bill questioned, looking at the circling mass of color around him. "I am the god of this world, and I have free reign to break through it!" He said, believing he could frighten the demon.
"So, you've ripped through reality huh?" Bill asked. "Yes." Asriel said, "Do you see now that battling me is hopeless?" "I see that you're a moron, does that count?" Bill laughed in amusement, getting blasted into the glowing rift in reality by chaos buster. "Well, since you've done me the favor of breaking the world," Bill's voice echoed all around Asriel, "Guess I'll show you what a real god looks like!"
Bill came floating forward, his body beginning to shift into a physical object. Asriel attacked with shocker breaker, but the lighting bounced right off as Bill became a physical object, "Time to get weird!" Bill laughed, snapping his fingers and letting out a wave of madness bubbles. The bubbles passed over Asriel with no effect whatsoever, and he fired Shocker Breaker II, raining bolts of lightning no matter where Bill teleported to.
"That one actually hurt," Bill said, "For like, half a second." Bill snapped his fingers, a cage forming around Asriel and shrinking around him. Bill fired a hail of blue fire, engulfing the trapped boss monster in flame. The fire and cage turned red and blasted away from Asriel, "Enough!" Asriel called down Galactia Blazing and Chaos Slicer, calling down a storm of exploding stars.
Bill held them in place above him, getting struck in the back by Chaos Slicer. He turned, his attention breaking long enough for the stars to fall onto him and explode, forcing him to the ground, where he was hit by Chaos Blaster. "Getting serious are ya? Not bad," Bill vanished, appearing above Asriel, "But not great." He said, pointing his finger at Asriel and firing a blast of blue energy.
Asriel called on Hyper Goner, absorbing the attack into the negative dimension, negating it entirely. "You are powerful demon, I'll give you that. But the truth is, up to now I've only been using a fraction of my real power!" Asriel said. "How anime of you." Bill mocked as Asriel shifted into angel of death form, blasting a hail of energy bolts at Bill. Bill teleported behind him, getting blasted there as well.
"There is no limit to my power! I will tear you apart, and reset the whole of existence!" Asriel hissed, laying into Bill with an endless barrage of energy bolts. "But you wouldn't really want to hurt me, would you?" Chara asked before shrieking as they burned up in the energy of the attack. Asriel gasped, ceasing the attack and floating down to Chara, "Ch-Chara, how, how are you-" "A-Asriel..it hurts..why..?" Chara questioned.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you! I didn't mean to hurt anyone!" Asriel cried. "Didn't you?" Chara questioned, "Didn't you want to erase it all? Just like me?" Chara questioned, the burns spreading over their body as they spoke before going limp, dead. "Chara, Chara no, not again!" Asriel sobbed, shrinking back down to his normal mortal form. "I-I'm sorry.."
"Don't worry," Bill's voice said through Chara's body, or rather the illusion of it, "I forgive you!" Chara's eyes became one eye, and in a blast of light, Asriel solidified into a golden statue. Bill, dropping the illusion completely, lifted his hand, raising the Asriel statue into the air. He snapped his fingers and the statue grumbled and burned into a melted puddle of hot slag.
"Welp, that's that." Bill said with a shrug, teleporting back to reality to try out his physical form.
KO!
Boomstick: Guess it isn't just the power of friendship that can kill god, the power of the Illuminati symbolism works to! Wiz: This battle seems at first glance to be a stalemate, but with a few moments of looking it over, it's actually extremely straightforward.
Boomstick: Both of them are immune to manipulation of space and time, and Asriel can't destroy memories. Even if he could, he isn't nearly smart enough to trick Bill into a vulnerable mind. So it all falls back to raw power. Wiz: Bill can only be destroyed in this manner by the force of ten humans all at once, and at his absolute strongest, Asriel is only as strong as seven. Plus Asriel's emotions return back to him in his strongest form, making him easily manipulated.
Boomstick: And manipulation is Bill's greatest weapon. Even without his physical form, Bill can still win this battle easily by toying around with Asriel's brain. Wiz: And between his power to read minds, his illusions, and Asriel's wealth of mental trauma, Bill had no shortage of material to work with the break Asriel.
Boomstick: Any hope Asriel had of winning were all in his dreams. Wiz: The winner of this Death Battle is Bill Cipher.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle...
Cyborg vs Cyborg... One Piece vs One Punch Man... Franky vs Genos.
