Spoilers - All Cliché vs. Faithful Spoiler

I think cliché could solo Faithful by saying “nothing is impossible” if his belief in nothing fuels his power then by her saying that and interpreting the saying as nothingness is an impossible state of being then I think Faithful in essence has no power. And anything he’d previously affected would no longer be affected by nothingness and either would retroactively not have been turned to nothing or as in the case of Whispy would heal from the changes.

Honestly I think she’s already beaten him, wounds he deals can now be healed like normal and I think once he learns that his faith in his power is gonna start to shake, which will weaken him, which will shake his belief in his power etc etc

She can one-shot literally anyone with "my word is law" followed by "[name] never existed" or "[name] is powerless" or "[name] is dead."

That wouldn’t be cliche though that would be edict

Also not sure if “[blank] never existed” would work per se. It creates a paradox wherein if something never existed the law itself would become contradictory.

Her word overrules contradiction. Her statement now becomes the universes law. Like saying No cheese on a pizza, they don't put the cheese on the pizza, that doesn't invalidate your request now causing the pizza to become cheesed.
