Zahard/Abilities and Powers

"''Let me ask you something. What am I to you people? I was the first one to climb the Tower. I was the greatest Fisherman in battle. And I pioneered a civilization of mutual understanding among the people of the Tower. But you probably know me best by a different word. The word... "King""

- Zahard to Team Khel Hellam.

Powers and Abilities
The great king of the Tower and having been firmly the top Ranker in the Tower prior to the the arrival of Phantaminum and Enryu, Zahard holds a terrifying amount of strength and skill. Despite the lack of his recorded combat, Zahard maintained the rank of third due to his exceedingly outstanding abilities still being well-known and famous. He was the strongest out of the original Irregulars who climbed the Tower and "White Sword" Arie Hon, the strongest of the 10 Family Heads, admitted his superiority. Accordingly, Urek Mazino, an Irregular who had stalemated Arie Hon on the 100th Floor, was still ranked below Zahard due to Arie Hon's words and Po Bidau Gustang believed Urek would not be capable of killing Zahard even if he tries to fulfill Garam Zahard's wish. Khun Hynd Luch believed that even with Hidden Grove working together with Khel Hellam's team, who were among the most powerful fighters FUG had during the age of Genesis, they would stand no chance against Zahard to the point where he went as far as to betray Hidden Grove to save them, after which Zahard single-handedly defeated Khel Hellam's team.

By just investing some of his powers into his daughters, who are not blood-related to him and are selected by a specific set of tests or a specific procedure, alone is sufficient to make them the "ultimate species".

Zahard has been incredibly powerful even back when he was still a regular climbing the Tower. According to Arie Hon, they had fought 10 times during this period yet Zahard always defeated him, which earned him Hon's servitude. By the time he reached the Hidden Floor, he quickly established himself as the unrivaled ruler of the digital world, maintaining this spot for countless of years, exceeding Khun Eduan's data self and Urek's data. He proved capable of single-handedly easily killing the data of Khun Family members, who were acknowledged to be very powerful and had earned Eduan's recognition, including the likes of those who would become famous High Rankers like Maschenny and Asensio, and after effortlessly defeating Baam in their first fight and being deemed capable of killing him and all his friends with ease, in his rematch with Baam after his month of training under Eduan, Zahard proved to be an incredibly formidable opponent despite Baam's vast improvement and his growth only increasing as the battle progressed, easily overwhelming Baam in the initial stages while hardly exerting himself and maintaining the upper hand over him as Baam activated more of his powers upon getting serious, before ultimately proving capable of comparing to Baam using the full power of the Thorn and ending their fight in a technical stalemate as he admitted defeat. His current level of power is noted to be dramatically greater to the point his data self noted that the real Zahard can kill both him and data Eduan easily if he wants and he was able to render Baam entirely helpless and would have killed him had he not been teleported out, all the while being noted to be nowhere near full power as it was just a digital version of his true self.

As one of the top Rankers, while his main position may be a Fisherman, with Zahard describing himself as the greatest fisherman, he is also proficient in all other positions and can fit them magnificently well too.

Should the scale of the Hidden Floor be destroyed, Zahard would be capable of projecting a small amount of his power into the digital world to interfere.

Physical
Zahard is most commonly known as a Fisherman with overwhelming physical capabilities. Even the data of his regular self displayed an extremely outstanding level of physical power for the standards of a Regular.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As a Fisherman, Zahard is known to be a sublime hand-to-hand combatant. Even back when still having only cleared the Hidden Floor, Zahard, as displayed by his data self, already has a vast amount of hand-to-hand combat skill, as shown when he fought Data Eduan at close-range with tremendous ferocity, when he effortlessly blocked all of Data Maschenny's unarmed lightning-enhanced attacks without having to take even a single step, and when he easily gained the upper hand over Baam in close-quarters combat, despite Baam being an accomplished martial artist who had also been trained by Ha Jinsung, an extremely skilled member of the Ha Family.

Immense Speed and Agility: Zahard's young self has displayed immense levels of speed and agility, as shown when he fought Data Eduan, the two of them moving at such speeds that their movements looked like a blur. With a single jump, he could effortlessly catch up to Baam from a great distance despite him using Blue Oar and swiftly deliver hits that Baam couldn't react to, badly injuring him.

Immense Reflexes: Zahard's young self has such immense reflexes that he can block with a single hand all of Data Maschenny's lightning-enhanced attacks without any effort.

Immense Strength: Infamous for having brutish physical strength, Zahard's young self is strong enough that a single strike could critically injure Data Maschenny using Redan and with multiple physical strikes, he was able to noticeably batter and injure Baam even after his resilience. Even while nowhere near full power in the Hidden Floor, Zahard was easily strong enough to choke Baam nonchalantly one-handed, nearly killing him, and was able to firmly keep him in his grip even when a spatial control skill activated to take Baam out until Eduan erased his hand.

Immense Shinsu Resistance and Durability: While still a Regular back when he had just cleared the Hidden Floor, Zahard already had tremendous shinsu Resistance and durability, to the point where he was able to effortlessly shrug off Data Maschenny's lightning attacks and Baam's Extreme Black-Winged Butterfly Attack, which despite cracking his mask did no damage on him otherwise. As a top High Ranker, Zahard's resillience and shinsu resistance has reached such phenomenal levels that when trying to kill Baam, while being nowhere near full power, none of Data Eduan's lightning shinsu attacks had any effect on him and when his data attacked him with Leviathan, which had clashed evenly with Baam's strongest technique, he was not only completely uninjured but the tip shattered upon clashing into him.

Shinsu Control
Although more commonly known for his phenomenal close-range abilities, Zahard is also acknowledged to extraordinarily skilled in the use of Shinsu: Although he wasn't its greatest user, he is still among the greatest at manipulating Shinsu. Even as a Regular after having just cleared the Hidden Floor, his younger self's level of control could already effortlessly and almost instantly create and perfectly control from 20 to 30 Baangs of great power without even needing to move, going as far as to be able to create enough Baangs to stop Baam's Orb - Shinwonryu with only minor effort, and perform extremely powerful attacks, including creating shapes such as massive needles, balls, and planetary objects with ease, a skill that is said to be very difficult and proof of his talent and mastery of Shinsu even while still a Regular.

The level of power Zahard's current self has was so great that his presence could exert sufficient pressure to pin down Eduan and Baam as well as his data self. He was also shown to be able to completely freeze Baam in place and he is shown to be able to effortlessly unleash Shinsu attacks at great speeds, as he effortlessly blasted his Data when he tried to stop him from killing Baam and without even needing to move at all, released a powerful wave of Shinsu capable of collapsing an entire cliff to begin fighting Team Khel Hellam.

Shinsu Techniques: The following are Zahard's shinsu techniques and skills collected from his data version in the Hidden Floor. It's pretty obvious that after he become the top 3 High Ranker and King of The Tower, each of this techniques' battle data record has far exceed our knowledge of young Zahard and can't be used to measure the power of real Zahard. However, considering how it is unlikely for him to just abandon those skills, it is safe to expect that the current King Zahard still have all of those skills, but at an entirely different level than his data.
 * Shinwonryu: While we know that the young have already mastered this technique and is capable of inserting his Shinwonryu into his own body and then releasing it as a powerful explosion, it's still unknown to which extent he has trained this technique, whether he had changed his way of using Shinwonryu or how much it's power have increased after his journey to the top of the tower ended.
 * Golden Needle from Mystery Island (수수께끼 섬의 황금 니들): Zahard creates a giant golden needle made out of Shinsu. As the King of the Tower, Zahard has improved the technique to the point where he could release multiple golden needles simultaneously that are far larger and sharper than the usage of his data self.
 * Zahard Style Air Explosion Iron Fist (자하드식 공파술 금강장): Zahad sends his enemy flying with a strong Shinsu blast. With this attack, Zahard disrupts the Shinsu in his opponent's body without touching him.
 * Zahard Style Lethal Move - Rampage (자하드 류 살인기 팡란): a technique used for close combat where Zahard first punches an opponent before enhancing the force of the attack with a blast of Shinsu.
 * Zahard Style Shinsu Control Skill - Cosmos (자하드식 신수제어술 코스모스): A technique that creates several Baangs shaped like the solar system, used with the intention to a cause massive destruction, but it was nullified by Baam's Shinwonryu.
 * Second Cosmos (세컨드 코스모스): A more powerful version of the Cosmos technique that creates more numerous and massive baangs shaped into planetary objects.
 * Zahard Style Shinsu Control - Golden Bomb (자하드 류 신수제어술 금탄): a projectile technique used by data version of young Zahard in the Hidden Floor that unleashes a large yellow Baang as a powerful beam.

Precognition and Fate Manipulation
Zahard has the power to see the destiny of others and control fate to a degree far greater than others who could see fate, capable of completely tricking and deceiving them with false scenarios, as displayed with Khel Hellam, who he managed to trick twice, first when he allowed Khel Hellam to confront him and his team so he could show his surpassing power, notably tricking Hellam to the point where despite seeing him asleep in his Floating Castle, Hellam didn't even knew what he looks like, and then when he sent Yasratcha to the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence so that he could turn Khel Hellam's attempt to use the Canine People against him.

Red Horn Tentacles
Possessing a demon with red horns tentacles inside his body, Zahard is capable of transforming his face to reveal the demon inside him and at least his adult self can manifest red horn tentacles that are sharp and deadly. He used it to pierce Hwang, the Big Breeder who was in the form and appearance of Ha Yura's brother.

Spells
While it's unknown to what extent, Zahard is at least capable of using Spells, as he was known to have been the one who transformed the spirit of a vengeful failed candidate of the Zahard Princesses system into the Ghost of the 13 Months and enchanted the 13 Months Series so that anyone who ignited more than one of them would be subsequently possessed by the Ghost. He also appears to be quite familiar with spells as a whole, as even his data self effortlessly recognized Maschenny's shield as being conjured by The Languages Storage spell.

Blood
Zahard's blood is known to be so potent that no ordinary woman could bear his child. Imbuing others who can properly receive just a fraction of his blood alone is capable of granting them an incredible boost in power, as shown with the Zahard's Princesses, and it is said that Zahard is capable of controlling them, which is proven by how his data could render both Androssi Zahard and Data Maschenny motionless with his sheer presence.

Immortality and Invulnerability
Zahard is immortal just like his other companions but due to an additional specific contract with the Floor Guardians, he is also invulnerable to harm from anyone who came from the Tower; in effect, this means that only an Irregular can kill him - the organisation with the closest possession of the means to do this is FUG.

Weapons

 * Lecalicus: A powerful weapon used by young data version of Zahard. It's still unknown if this weapon is still in the possession of Zahard after he become a king. There's no further information about what happened to Lecalicus after Khun Eduan "force delete"ed the hidden floor.
 * King Zahard's Deadly Weapon No.9: Anti High Rankers El Robina: A powerful canon weapon in the shape of Floating Ship specially built to fight and eliminate High Rankers. Zahard still possessed 9 weapons like El Robina.
 * Zahard's Bracelet: A bracelet that contains Zahard's secret. Zahard hide the bracelet intentionally in the Hidden Floor because it's apparently the safest place since no rankers can enter the Hidden Floor because it's a regular area. The King tasked the data of his younger self to protect the bracelet. This bracelet was stolen by the Treasure Eating Stingray, a shinheuh that belongs to Po Bidau Gustang.
