~ The Dark CPUs (except Dark Orange) at the beginning of their fights |
Summary
The Dark CPUs (ダーク女神/ダークメガミ, Dāku Megami) are five of the antagonists in Megadimension Neptunia VII and the destined enemies of Uzume who has been fighting them alone for a very long time. One of their most notable characteristics is their gigantic size that towers over any other giant monster in the franchise.
They appeared suddenly and began destroying the Zero Dimension. The destruction brought by the Dark CPUs isn't only physical, but also ends up erasing space itself. Therefore, wherever the Dark CPU appear even the land completely disappears into nothingness.
The only way to defeat them is to trap them within a Sharing Field, which Uzume can create with enough share energy, otherwise they are invincible and impossible to fight.
In MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, the Dark CPUs (except Dark Orange) can be fought as giant bosses in Multi Mode. Each of the four appear in a 5-star quest.

Attack Potency: Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (Superior to Uzume and are able to gravely wound her with singular attacks outside the Sharing Field) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (Stronger than before, has the power of Rei Ryghts) | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (An individual complete Dark CPU when not weakened by the Sharing Field has the power of one of the Next Forms) | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (Stronger than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Speed: At least Massively FTL+, likely Immeasurable (Should be at least comparable to Orange Heart, whom they can keep up with in combat) | At least Massively FTL+, likely Immeasurable (Faster than before) | At least Massively FTL+, likely Immeasurable (Has the capabilities of a Next Form) | At least Massively FTL+, likely Immeasurable (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | At least Massively FTL+, likely Immeasurable (Likely faster than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Lifting Strength: Class T, possibly far higher, possibly Irrelevant (Should be at least comparable to Orange Heart, whom they are superior to in combat) | Immeasurable, possibly Irrelevant (Has the powers of Rei) | Immeasurable, possibly Irrelevant (A complete Dark CPU has the power of a Next Form, which is far superior to Prime HDD Rei) | Immeasurable, possibly Irrelevant (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | Immeasurable, possibly Irrelevant (Stronger than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Striking Strength: Multiverseal+, possibly Low Outerversal | Multiversal+, possibly Low Outerversal | At least Multiversal+, possibly Low Outerversal | At least Multiversal+, possibly Low Outerversal | At least Multiversal+, possibly Low Outerversal
Durability: Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level (Outside of the Sharing Field, Uzume's attacks that don't have Share Energy can't scratch them and attacks with it barely leave a dent. In the Sharing Field, where they are immensely weakened, they still can take many hits from Uzume and the other CPUs) | Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level | At least Multiverse level+, possibly Low Outerverse level
Stamina: Unknown, but likely extremely high (The Dark CPUs, while never appearing for too long a period of time, should likely be comparable to the regular CPUs they are based on, whom can fight for thousands of generations to eons without rest, showing no sign of tiring)
Range: At least tens of kilometers, potentially hundreds of kilometers (Their attacks can reach areas far away from their body), possibly Irrelevant | Multiversal+, possibly Irrelevant (Before fusing with Dark Purple, Arfoire stole Rei's powers from Croire, and should likely have her range) | Varies, Interstellar up to Multiversal+ at the highest with their techniques, possibly Irrelevant (Should have the same range as the Next Forms) | Same as before | Same as before
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Unknown, likely at least Average (The Dark CPUs, while being completely artificial in nature, have some level of sentience [having shown emotions], have the capacity to speak, and are quite capable in combat against the like of the regular CPUs), far higher when fused with Arfoire (When fused, Arfoire is the one completely in control, and she is capable of tricking other characters like the CPUs and IF)
Weaknesses: If they're contained in a Sharing Field, they are weakened immensely due to having a weakness to Share Energy that is usually mitigated by their large size. With the exception of Dark Purple, all of the Dark CPUs' ultimate attacks require their weapons to be intact to preform. First weakness is partially negated due to the sheer amount of negative energy they have, however, a powered up Sharing Field such as one using the core of Heart Dimension to contain them still works.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Truth Atoning Lies: An attack in which she slaps her hand towards the the target(s) before sweeping it back, causing damage and knocking back the target(s)
- Fist of Grudges: She punches the target(s) once with each hand, causing damage and knocking back the target(s)
- Containment of Gods: She crushes the target(s) by crushing them between her hands.
- Light of Eternal Grudges: She cups her hands at her sides before firing off a large purple energy beam that sweeps across the area from them
- Flower Bloom of Chaos: She goes up into the air before coming back down and slamming her target(s)
- Brilliance of the End: She flies up into the air and charges an orb of dark red energy before raising it above her head, causing it to expand. She then throws it down towards the ground, causing a large purple explosion that dwarfs large chunks of land. This is Dark Purple's strongest attack.

Note 1: I don't have much knowledge of Neptunia related material that lacks many translations, such as Mega Miracle Force, so if anyone could inform me of any notable information from sources such as that, it would be appreciated if you could inform me about it either in the comments here, or on my wall.
Feel free to inform me via any means you can about any additional things I may have forgotten to include on this page.
Note 2: To see the deal with the cosmology and why the ratings are as such, please look at the verse page, which explains it in the 'Explanations' section
Note 3: This page covers all of the Dark CPUs (except Dark Orange, whom can be found here), as I personally don't feel they all have enough to warrant each having their own page separate from each-other
