The undead can continue fighting even if they take what would normally be fatal attacks.), Aura, Fear Manipulation via aura (Ainz mere presence causes humans and even non-humans to feel as if they are going to die, making them forget to breathe, as if their soul is being torn away.), Enhanced Senses, Extrasensory Perception, Information Analysis (Can sense hostility on his targets if there is any. Can see in the dark and through invisibility as a basic ability to the point that he doesn't realize his opponent is using invisibility until they point it out. Stated to have superhuman eyesight.

Has spells that let him see the level/power of his enemy. Can hear from far distances.), Invisibility (The spell "Perfect unknowable" makes him invisible, to the point that it erases any sounds he makes and is as if he has been erased from existence.), Speed Manipulation (The spell "Slow" reduces the targets speed and the spell "Haste" increases his speed.), Analytical Prediction (Read and predicted an opponents moves.), Teleportation (Ainz can teleport great distances with Greater Teleportation.), Portal Creation (Can create gates/portals that have no limits on range), Dimensional Storage/Pocket Spaces (Has a pocket dimension where he keeps many of his items), Power Nullification (Passively nullifies physical attacks that are level 60 or lower with Greater Damage Immunity. Can delay teleportation by introducing a lag to the teleportation, and informs him if someone is trying to teleport to him. Can nullify summons. Ainz can take away someones ability to use spells [although it increases their magic resistance]. With Wish Upon a Star, Ainz wished to remove/nullify the mind control effects placed on Shaltear and stated he could use it to get rid of many negative effects. Wish Upon A Star can nullify many forms of Magic, and should include all magical abilities below its super-tier level), Statistics Amplification (Has many spells to buff his resistances, damage output, durability, etc.), Statistics Reduction (By touching someone he can reduce their stats, such as their healing capabilities and making them slower.), Petrification (Can turn others into a statue with the harden spell), Paralysis Inducement (Can paralyze people.), Healing (Can heal himself with negative energy.), Matter Manipulation ("Greater Break Item" can destroy things including magical items.

It also transmutated the land in a 100 meter radius. It strengthens death magic to completely bypasses immortality and resistances to his death hax. The Super Tier spell La Shub-Niggurath releases a dark breeze that killed hundreds of thousands of living beings. When it was strengthened with The Goal of All Life is Death allowed it to kill non-living beings.), Should be able to harm Zaryusu whose soul disregards the concept of pain. True Death negates resurrection. Has many instant death spells such as Grasp Heart which crushes the targets heart with death magic, and if the instant death aspect fails, it still stuns the target. If he touches someone after activating Touch of Undeath they will slowly die after their body loses the ability to function. Simply saying the word "death" instantly killed someone. Has resistance slashing and piercing as a basic trait), Negative Energy Manipulation (Elder Lich's possess negative energy touches that inflicts evil damage on whoever he touches, even those who are already evil), Mind Manipulation (Can control the undead despite them having resistances to mind control.

The super-tier magic The Creation froze an entire lake and it can also stop the chill on a large Icey region), Danmaku (Created a Meteor Shower to kill a giant tree monster.), Electricity Manipulation (Dragon Lightning releases a bolt of lightning. The spell Call Greater Thunder strikes the enemy with lightning from the clouds.), Black Hole Creation (Can create Black Holes that starts off slow then grows bigger and bigger, swallowing everything), Reality Warping/Wish Granting (Wish Upon A Star can grant 200 different spells, being able to make the impossible possible, such as stealing someone else's talents), Blessing, Supernatural Luck (Can increase his luck and blessing), Absorption (With Absorption spell), Indomitable Will (Can gain indomitability), Darkness Manipulation (The spell "True Dark" can negate holy light and harm pure beings.[1]), Earth Manipulation, Bone Manipulation (Can create a wall of stone through the earth and trap enemies with bones.

His time stop can work on beings who resisted Demiurge's time stop.), Resurrection (Can resurrect others. Has a ring that allows him to resurrect), Life Manipulation (Possesses power over life and death), With Aura of Despair: Statistics Deduction, Fear Manipulation, Madness Manipulation (Type 3), Mind Manipulation, Death Manipulation (The passive skill Aura of Despair has 5 levels of status effects. Level 1 causes fear which also debuffs all sorts of functions, 2 causes panic and reduces speed, 3 causes literal confusion, 4 causes the target to go mad and 5 causes instant death. When powered by the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown it can work on those who resist the abilities normally.), Resistance to Magic (Ainz resists every single low to mid tier spell that exists, regardless if it is casted by someone weak or someone as strong as him.) Extrasensory Perception, Clairvoyance (Has an attack wall, that blocks out abilities that can watch him from other places. This also deals damage to the caster), Unholy Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Acid Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Emotional Manipulation, Fear Manipulation (The undead have a natural resistance to mind-affecting effects and do not possess the concept of fear), Poison Manipulation, Disease Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Death Manipulation, Life-Force Absorption, Biological Manipulation (These are basic resistances for his classes.), Resistance Negation (Resists abilities that bypass and pierce resistances.), Fire Manipulation (Despite being an undead, he can gain a complete immunity to fire damage from level 80's whom range in the 11th tier of magic), Holy Manipulation (Despite having a weakness for holy abilities, he tanked enough holy light that could have destroyed an entire city and besides feeling some pain, he had a clear mind and was not affected badly.), Conceptual Manipulation (Was at the epicenter of Cry of the Banshee when it was strengthened with The Goal of All Life is Death), Precognition (One of his rings conceals him from all types of divination magic.), Time Stop (Stated that everyone above level 70 should have countermeasures to time being stopped, meaning he himself should.), Time Manipulation (Some of his rings protect him from time manipulating abilities in general.), Law Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Soul Manipulation, Mana Absorption, BFR, Spatial Manipulation, Sealing, Greater Mind Manipulation with World Class Items (Having World Class Items grants users resistance to other World Class Items, such as the world item that mind controlled Shaltear despite her having a resistance to mind based abilities, Longinus, which deletes an opponent with the cost of the users own existence, Five Element Progression and Ouroboros which can change the system of magic in the world, Depiction of Nature and Society which can swallow space around the opponent, send them to different spaces and seal them there, Greed and Generosity which absorbs experience points which is basically mana and souls. The mind manipulating item which controlled Shaltear even though she has a resistance to mind based abilities in general. There are likely countless world class items as each is a representation of the worlds of YGGDRISAL so he has many more resistances to World Class item abilities.)
Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Ainz is a level 100 warrior, and has the armour of touch me, giving him the highest physical stats possible.), Teleportation (Has a ring that can teleport him back to Nazarick), Empowerment (Has gauntlets which boost his strength.) Martial Arts, Weapon Mastery (Perfect Warrior allows him to use all weapons), Resurrection (Has his resurrection ring), Resistance Negation, Holy Manipulation (Has weapons that deal holy damage that damaged Shalltear even though she should be able to tank Holy Smite much like Ainz), Power Nullification (Shooting star is a ring, so he should be able to perform Wish Upon a Star), Light Manipulation (Has a bow that was described as shooting down the sun, and which burns the target with light.), Transformation (Can transform back into his mage class instantly.), Possibly Space-Time Manipulation (With his stats and his armour, it is possible that Ainz can perform World Break, the strongest attack in all of YGGDRISAL, which can destroy the very fabric of space and time.), Resistance to Time Manipulation, Time Stop (Everyone over level 70 has resistance to time abilities.), Death Manipulation (Everyone on his level should have resistance to instant death.), Precognition (Still has his rings which grant the aforementioned resistances.), Fear Manipulation (Has items that give perfect resistance to fear.) Law Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Soul Manipulation, Mana Absorption, BFR, Spatial Manipulation, Sealing, Greater Mind Manipulation with World Class Items, Likely Resistance to all his magic abilities (Has Touch Me's Armor which is on par with a guild item, and with that armor Touch Me was unharmed by all of Ainz's abilities. Maintins his great magic resistance in Perfect Warrior where low to mid tier spells won't affect him at all regardless of the enemies strength.)
His summons range from level 30 to level 95 [Building level to Multi-Continent level, likely Large Star level] and he can mentally command all of them. His undead summons do not physically tire
Attack Potency: Building level Physically (As a level 30 warrior normally his physical power should be comparable to the fireball spell, which when cast by someone much weaker did this [0.56 tons of TNT]). Varies with Magic. Up to Building level, likely far higher with 3rd to 5th tier magic (The third tier spell Fireball is this powerful [0.56 tons of TNT], and 4th to 5th tier magic is far stronger. 4th tier is so powerful only those trained under the greatest magic casters in the new world can reach, and 5th being the absolute peak of mankind that legendary heroes have used.), at least Large Mountain level with 6th tier Magic (Even a non destructive spell, control weather can change the weather across the land, and disperse clouds that go beyond mountains [8.44172e18 Joules.), higher with 7th tier Magic, possibly up to Small Country level (Landfall, a level 50, can supposedly destroy a country. A Demon Blade, that is implied to be beyond Landfall's strength, was stated powerful enough to swallow a whole country, but Ainz believed this to likely be an exaggeration, though, also said that it might come close to that level of power) with 8th to 10th tier magic. At least Country level (The Platinum Dragon Lord can turn a country to scorched earth. Ainz threatened to destroy the Baharuth Kingdom), Multi-Continent level (The Guild Ainz Ooal Gown defeated the Devourer of Nine Worlds, who ate countless worlds two to three times the size of Tokyo [120 Teratons]. A level 85 Evil Tree was stated powerful enough to destroy the New World numerous amounts of time, which is at least this big [6.1 Petatonnes]. The New World is repeatedly stated to be a continent, with there being many other continents out there meaning the destruction of the world should scale higher. Ainz is a level 100 magic caster and therefore far stronger than the tree and he killed it with Meteor Shower.) to Large Star level (Can create a Black Hole, that got bigger and bigger which is this powerful) with Super Tier Magic, higher with Maximise Magic, Widen Magic and Focus Magic (Maximise Magic increases the destructive power of his spells, and Widen Magic increases his spells range. For example, the basic spell Fireball which originally just burns a target, completely engulfed a watchtower when amped with maximise magic. Focus Magic makes his or others magic spells over 2x stronger) | At least Multi-Continent level, likely Large Star level (Becomes a level 100 warrior class and physically stronger than Shalltear Bloodfallen. The Perfect Warrior has strikes capable of shattering the Earth. It is the equipment of Lord Touch Me, who Ainz could not defeat in PVP, no matter how many times he tried, or what technique, item or strategy he used, meaning Touch Me should scale above Ainz's Black Hole spell. The Black Hole spell would scale below World Class items, and Touch Me's armor is considered a world item with world items being astronomically above anything below it), possibly Universe level+ with World Break (As he possesses the world champion armor of Touch Me, it is possible he can perform the strongest attack in all of Overlord, World Break, which can destroy the very fabric of space and time.) Can negate durability in a large number of ways.
Speed: At least Supersonic+ travel speed (Can somewhat keep up with Shaltear and is comparable to Albedo who can move this fast [Mach 3.275].) with Massively FTL attack and perception speed (Ainz's Negative Burst is described as a ray of light and he has other attacks which are rays or bolts of light. Even some fodders have attacks which are rays of light. Comparable to Cocytus whose casual slash blitzed Brian's True Nail Clipper, which is comparable if not faster than Gazefs Sixfold Slash of Light, which is an attack as fast as light. Could keep up with, react to and attack against Shalltear's full speed, whose simple hand movements were faster than Brian's Fourfold Slash of Light which is just as fast as the Sixfold Slash of light, just attacks less people with 4 arcs of light as opposed to six, and viewed the attack as slow as a snail, which makes Shalltear this fast [488.46c].) | At least Supersonic+ travel speed (Faster than before), Massively FTL attack and perception speed (Is much stronger and faster than Shalltear due to being a full on warrior, who would normally out-stat him in his magic caster class.)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 25, likely higher (Casually lifted a dragon this big)
Striking Strength: Building Class | At least Multi-Continent Class, likely Large Star Class
Durability: Building level normally, up to Large Mountain level, possibly Small Country level with Greater Damage Immunity (With Greater Damage Immunity, a passive skill, he can tank attacks from up to level 60's [level 60's are in the range of 8th tier magic]), likely Large Star level with amps and armour (After amping himself with multiple buffs, he could tank attacks from Shalltear and be at the epicentre of his Super Tier Magic such as when he and Shalltear tanked Fallen Down.) | At least Multi-Continent level, likely Large Star level (Tanked attacks from Shalltear easily, and is far stronger as he is a higher level warrior). Can boost his durability with spells and is difficult to kill due to his immortality.
Stamina: Physically Infinite as an undead
Range: Varies. His Super Tier Magic and World Class Items can affect the world. Can go all around the world with teleportation and gate. Widen Magic increases his spells range.
Standard Equipment: Varies depending on whoever he is preparing to fight
Intelligence: An expert strategist in combat, Ainz always tries to fight with knowledge of his enemy, and doesn't underestimate his opponents. Unless he knows for sure that the enemy is no threat, he will usually start the battle with instant death spells like Grasp Heart, and will be quick to use his other powerful abilities depending on the situation
Weaknesses: Ainz is naturally susceptible to the holy elements, but can negate one of those weaknesses depending on his choice of gear and has previously tanked enough light/holy attacks to destroy an entire city. Because of class restrictions, Ainz normally cannot equip most weapons and armor, but he can get around this restriction by using gear made by Create Greater Item or by using Perfect Warrior to temporarily change into a warrior class. He takes extra damage from crushing attacks, and The Goal of All Life is Death has a cooldown of exactly 100 hours. Additionally, Ainz's spells can be interrupted by enemy attacks unless he uses the Silent Magic modifier, which he does often anyway
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Note 2: I am aware in the Light Novel the size of the worlds the devourer of the worlds ate is not specified, however they are implied to simply be gigantic landmasses, not universes, so it can't be a low multiversal/multiversal feat. Them being landmasses similar to the web novel would suggest that there is no size difference. Either way, that isn't the main argument for High 6-B, anyway, though, of course, destroying multiple "landmasses" which are generally a large island or continent would be among those ranges, or higher, anyway
Note 3: Many thanks to U/Wapulatus for gathering a lot of the scans for his abilities.
Note 4: The Fourfold Slash of Light is no slower than the Sixfold Slash of Light as they both attack in the same way with arcs of light with them being stated to be the speed of light, the only difference is that the former attacks 4 people at once, and the latter attacks 6.
