Introduction

Hello guys, so I wanted to to upgrade the speed for Miro and any future character profile that is an immortal function users. So this is going to be a short crt, anyways without further ado, let's begin.

Please avoid derailing topics and toxic behaviors.

Content

In the world of infinite mage, a mage have something called "omnipotence & omniscience." Omniscience is the understanding of the mage to the source of knowledge while omnipotence is necessary for the mage to actualize the said "magic." If one doesn't have the understanding of what he wants to cast, he wouldn't be able to cast it, it works backwards as well.

Knowing this, let's go to the actual speed.

Photon Mages are categorized 4 different ways which is Sub-lightspeed, near-lightspeed, speed of light, and superluminal/Super-Lightspeed.
Sub-light, near-light, light, superluminal.

Photon mages classified speed into four types. By Shirone's calculations, surpassing the event horizon required speed faster than light—superluminal.
V5C104
First well go to how this specific speed category works in the verse.

So this speed are the requirements for specific abilities to be used, an example of that is the speed of light. One must be able to feel or be as fast as the speed of light to be able to stop time.



Superluminal speed is a speed father than light, and the speed of light is at which time stops, so in turn moving at this speed means that the user is above the restraint of linear time. More proof is when Shirone was trapped at the space-time prison—a space where the flow of time doesn't exist—it was said that the only way to escape is to achieve Superluminal speed at which is described as "a speed faster than Light."
검은 구체로 첫발을 내디뎠을 때, 시 로네는 처음 스폿에 들어왔을 때랑 같 은 느낌을 받았다.

출구는 보이지 않았고 걸음을 옮겨도 변하는 게 없었다.

뒤를 돌아본 시로네는 깜짝 놀랐다.

여자가 여전히 졸린 눈으로 이쪽을 지 켜보고 있었던 것이다.

시간이 흐르지 않는 사상의 지평선에 갇혀 버린 것이다.

'벗어날 수 없어.'

이미 스톱 마법을 경험했기에, 어떤 노력으로도 시공간의 감옥에서 벗어날 수 없다는 것을 알았다.

비참했고, 여자의 말이 비로소 이해가 되었다.
Translation said:
As Shirone took her first step into the black sphere, he felt the same sensation as when he first entered the spot.

There was no exit in sight, and nothing changed no matter how many steps he took.

Turning around, Shirone was startled.

The woman was still watching him with sleepy eyes.

he was trapped in an idea horizon where time did not flow.

'I can't escape.'

Having already experienced the Stop magic, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from this prison of space-time.

he felt miserable, and she finally understood what the woman had said.
만약 빛보다 더 빠른 속도를 낼 수 있 다면 사상의 지평선을 벗어날 수 있지 않을까?

'초광속.'

물론 불가능하다. 시로네의 경지는 고 작해야 준아광속이었고, 현실에서 시간 마법의 최고인 아르민조차 광속의 영역이 한계였다.
Translation said:
If he could move faster than light, wouldn't he be able to escape the Event Horizon?

'Superluminal speed.'


Of course, it was impossible. Shirone's level was merely near-subluminal speed, and even Armin, the master of time magic in reality, was limited to the realm of light speed.
But when Shirone tried to reach Superluminal/super-light speed, he was unable to do it because he doesn't have the true understanding of a thing that is faster than time itself.
In any case, the priority was getting back. Shirone took a deep breath, casting the Photon Magic and simultaneously unleashing the Immortal Function.

The effect was immediate. His acceleration shook the Spirit Zone intensely as he approached sub-light speed, near-light speed, and then light speed.

"Uuugh...!"

Yet, he still couldn‘t reach super-light speed. Without a true understanding of what it meant to surpass time, he couldn‘t wield magic through omniscience. His only remaining option was to fully unleash the Immortal Function. Even if it might mean being erased again, he expanded his consciousness without hesitation.
V5C103
The only way he can go beyond it is by using the immortal function in which the "SPEED" of the immortal function is said to be instantaneous and is capable of spreading throughout the entire world instantly.
그럼에도 희망을 갖는 이유는 현재 시 로네의 상태가 순수한 정신체이기 때문 이다.

'지금 나는 정신으로 존재하고 있다. 즉 질량이 없는 상태. 내 생각이 뇌의 전기적 신호라면 현재 나는 광속으로 존재하고 있는 거야. 따라서……………….

생각보다 더 빠를 수 있는 것은?

"이모탈 펑션."

빛의 속도로도 우주를 여행하기 어렵 지만, 이모탈 펑션이 우주 전체로 퍼지 는 속도는 순식간이다.

즉 사고의 영역에서 정신은 빛보다 빠 른 셈이었다.
Translation said:
Nevertheless, the reason for holding onto hope is that Shirone's current state is that of a pure spiritual body.

'Right now, I exist as a mind. In other words, a state without mass. If my thoughts are electrical signals in the brain, then I am currently existing at the speed of light. Therefore… … … … … … .

What can be faster than thought?

"The Immortal Function."

Although it is difficult to travel the universe even at the speed of light, the speed at which the Immortal Function spreads throughout the entire universe is instantaneous.

In other words, within the realm of thought, the mind was effectively faster than light.
자신도 모르게 턱이 떨렸다. 그것은 죽음과는 또 다른 의미의 소멸에 대한 공포였다.

'돌아갈 거야.'

오직 현실로 돌아가고 싶다는 열망만이 그 모든 공포를 이겨낼 수 있었다.

'이모탈 펑션!'

시로네의 정신체가 팍 하고 터지면서 미립자로 분해되었다. 이어서 빛보다 빠른 무언가가 사 상의 지평선을 넘어 질주하기 시작했다.

'됐다!'

이미 자아는 흩어진 상태지만 검은 터널 안에서 그를 이루는 미립자는 한데 엉켜 있었다.

그 전체적인 정체성 속에서 시로네는 저 멀리 빛의 출구를 보았다.

자신의 육신이 기다리고 있었다.

'간다! 드디어 간다!'
Translation said:
His jaw trembled involuntarily. It was a fear of annihilation, distinct from death.

'I will go back.'

Only the burning desire to return to reality could overcome all that terror.


'Immortal Function!'

Shirone's spiritual body exploded with a bang and disintegrated into particles. Then, something faster than light began to race beyond the horizon of thought.

'It's done!'

Although his ego was already scattered, the particles that made him up were entangled together inside the black tunnel.

Within that collective identity, Shirone saw a light-filled exit in the distance.

His physical body was waiting.

'Here I go! Finally, here I go!'
Normally this "Spreading throughout the world" just be infinite speed, but that's only if the world is purely spatial with no temporal dimensions. It was stated that the world Shirone lived in is a spot, which are a full on spacetime continuum.
"Is this the afterlife?"

"No. This isn‘t the afterlife. It‘s just a different spot from the world you lived in."

Shirone tilted his head in confusion. A point is one-dimensional, devoid of
space. When a point moves, it forms a line; when a line moves, it forms a plane; and when a plane moves, a three-dimensional space is created.

"Could it be...?"

Shirone recalled the white space he had just been in.

"That‘s correct. That was a spot. It‘s not that there‘s no space; it‘s compressed
infinitely."

As she spoke, it made sense why he hadn‘t felt any distance. However, even if he was trapped in a one-dimensional space, his body was still three-dimensional. If he could measure the distance between his right and left arms, wouldn‘t space still
exist?

"Oh, I see. A three-dimensional object exists within a one-dimensional space."

Your insight is truly remarkable. Yes, that‘s the essence of space-time. No
matter how vast the world is, from a distance, it‘s merely a dot. Conversely, even the smallest dot, when looked into, contains an infinite worlds.
V5C99
Additionally, the immortal function allows the user to become one with the world.
"This farmer doesn‘t know how incomplete this world is because he was born here. There‘s only one way to become aware."

"Immortal Function."

"Correct. The Immortal Function expands one‘s perception to encompass the whole. This village exists within an orb. It would not be inaccurate to say there is no world beyond it."

She placed her hand on the farmer‘s shoulder. He transformed into light,
spreading across the entire sky
. As she clenched her fist, the scene shrank again, and the village fit back into the orb. Shirone stared at the orb, which glowed with light radiating from the farmer.

This farmer expanded into the whole through the Immortal Function. V5C101
Furthermore, the world that the immortal function encompasses is infinite in size.
So in turn, this world is a full on spacetime continuum that is infinite in size, and the immortal function encompasses all of it, capable of becoming one with it, in turn this would mean that they're everywhere within the entire world.

Here's a chart showing how fast Superluminal actually is.
As you can see, it's Soo fast to the point that SoL isn't even comparable to it, this also shows that Superluminal speed doesn't have a finite "Limit" to how fast it can get.

Source 1(For one ones with chapters)
Source 2 (With the raws)

Basically the immortal function becomes the world merges with space and TIME in turn this would mean that the user is anywhere and everywhere at the same time giving him omnipresence.
Conclusion

All immortal function users would get:

Either omnipresence for this, if not then immeasurable speed is also okay. The reasonings would be SoL and eventually Omnipresent/immeasurable via....

Agree:

Disagree:

Neutral:

This is not immeasurable speed.
Being able to casually roam around freely across linear time qualifies for immeasurable speed. However, traveling to different time periods through movement is a common feat in fiction that often leads to inconsistencies and has been done via FTL travel or running laps around the earth faster than it rotates. This can lead to characters being assigned an additional, independent, speed rating for the ability. This should preferably be evaluated case by case.
 
This is not immeasurable speed.
"Going beyond time through raw speed alone" and is stated to be able to traverse the world(spacetime) instantaneously.
Nevertheless, the reason for holding onto hope is that Shirone's current state is that of a pure spiritual body.

'Right now, I exist as a mind. In other words, a state without mass. If my thoughts are electrical signals in the brain, then I am currently existing at the speed of light. Therefore… … … … … … .

Are the tls verified?
Anyways, Immeasurable Speed is temporal movement, it doesn't always have to be the same in spatial terms. You can be FTL but also immeasurable at the same time, it's judged case by case as said in our Speed page.

Also, you can add that the world that the Immortal function expands to is Infinite in size (iirc it was in Chapter 2~3 of the manhwa when shirone tries to sense magic and enter his spirit zone for the first time)

It's not sadly, I can't find anyone active that translate Korean.

Yea, this was the same in tensura's case as well. What do you think about it, would it qualify?

I forgot that even existed😭, I'll add it now.
 
All the context for moving faster than time seems to imply infinite speed through instantaneous
Not really, moving beyond time means moving beyond time in literal terms here due to how the verse works, since he is required to understand what it means to move beyond time to be able to get to superluminal speed, it would mean that once the character understand it they can move beyond it as long as the necessary mental strength is present which he succeeded when using the immortal function, an the immortal function being able to encompass the whole would be a supporting argument for it.
 
I don't see that context in the scans

Infinite speed can still be argued as moving beyond time because it's moving at 0 time AKA without time passing. which is how it can be considered as beating time or moving beyond it
 
even being compared to the speed of thought.
The speed of thought is referring to the speed of light, as he was clearly referring to how his spiritual body having no mass and the requirements for moving in the speed of light in this verse is having no mass like a photon and being in spiritual state, he has no mass essentially his always moving at the speed of light.
Nevertheless, the reason for holding onto hope is that Shirone's current state is that of a pure spiritual body.

"Haha! Well, I can‘t say she‘s fragile, but she‘s certainly a good person."

"And what about now? Do you think my sister is beautiful?"

"Uh, well, of course. She‘s quite popular at school."

"Then, let me ask you this. Do you think we could do something improper
while time is stopped?"

Shirone, understanding Armin‘s implication, blushed.

"What are you saying right now? Surely you‘re not suggesting, Armin…?"

"Don‘t worry. It‘s impossible. Right now, we‘re in a state where our mass
converges to zero
. If we truly had no mass, we‘d disintegrate. The key point is acceleration. That‘s why Stop magic is referred to as being within the realm of the speed of light."
 
I don't see that context in the scans

Infinite speed can still be argued as moving beyond time because it's moving at 0 time AKA without time passing. which is how it can be considered as beating time or moving beyond it
Again, moving beyond time means literally moving beyond time due to inverse mechanic

Its already stated that time within the spot doesn't exist.
As Shirone took her first step into the black sphere, he felt the same sensation as when he first entered the spot.

There was no exit in sight, and nothing changed no matter how many steps she took.

Turning around, Shirone was startled.

The woman was still watching him with sleepy eyes.

he was trapped in an idea horizon where time did not flow.

'I can't escape.'

Having already experienced the Stop magic, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from this prison of space-time.

he felt miserable, and he finally understood what the woman had said.
So what your saying doesn't make sense.
 
If I recall correctly there was some detailed end chart about Superluminal in the manhwa. I think that would be useful

Think it was around when Shirone was on the mountain exam and fought the dragon puzzle smth
Well, I went ahead and got the scans:
  • Speed of Light is many things. At a certain level, this speed can catch up to Time itself, such that moving at this speed makes it as if Space Time has stopped. That is Time Stop magic, where a mage moves at this speed.
  • By that logic, surpassing the speed of light means you can go faster than Time.
  • Oh, and another scan that space and time are infinite. I think spreading omnidirectionally such that you become the infinite space eventually is Infinite speed, but doing the same to the infinite space time continuum (where you spread to merge with Time itself as well) is Immeasurable. I remember reading that somewhere

Yeah, this context made more sense.
I was really confused with the text alone.

I'll agree with using this album instead of just pure text
and reword the description to describe how superluminal can allow traversal of time in reverse
