Why did I do this? Am I stupid?
So, following a recent NNT thread, I came to the realization of something: Chaos is currently accepted as having created Purgatory. When looking through the scans justifying this, I came to realize just how faulty this is. As such, I'd like to remove this, and any abilities that result from this.
Let's begin...
This Imgur link contains the scans used to justify the idea that Chaos created Purgatory. I'll go through the two scans one by one.
The First Scan
The part of this scan that attempts to justify Chaos creating Purgatory is this part right here. I'll go over my issues with this.

- Being called "a land of chaos" doesn't mean Chaos created it. It just means it's a chaotic land, which is explained further by the rest of the quote, which says: "run rampant by the mutilated souls of the lost and predatory monsters seeking their prey."
- The Imgur blog attempts to justify that this is referring to Chaos, but the attempt is very poor. It just talks about how Merlin knows about Chaos, and somehow that instantly means "well it's probably about Chaos." The other examples used are also irrelevant. For example, the Lady of the Lake being wrought from Chaos is fine, because the text says "Chaos" instead of "chaos," indicating a reference to the actual being rather than just something of chaotic nature. And that's also the thing... All this ended up arguing was that it's only probably about Chaos, which isn't even true to begin with. This justification is incredibly faulty.

- The thing in question that is supposedly created by Chaos is said to be "born of chaos and disorder." That's the important part: chaos and disorder. This already confirms that this is a being not created by Chaos, but rather, it is chaotic in nature (unless there's some god called Disorder we don't know about, which - spoiler alert - there isn't).
- This isn't even about Purgatory, it's about a being called Aonan, so it's completely irrelevant anyway. I guess the logic is that since Chaos created this one being of Purgatory, then it's safe to say that Chaos created the whole realm? Well, not only did Chaos not even create Aonan to begin with, but this is a massive leap in logic such that even if Chaos creating Aonan was true, it wouldn't mean that Chaos created Purgatory as a whole.
- Law Manipulation
- Space-Time Manipulation
- Biological Manipulation
- Soul Manipulation (also, this is not Soul Manipulation, it's Resurrection)
- Madness Manipulation (Type 3)
- Corruption (Type 2)
- Perception Manipulation
- Poison Manipulation (though Chaos has his own Poison Manipulation separate from this, so he keeps the ability, just not from allegedly creating Purgatory)
- Acid Manipulation
- Temperature Manipulation
- Ice Manipulation (via Extreme Cold)
- In addition, Pocket Reality Manipulation loses the Purgatory part of its justification
