Summary
There exists an interdimensional group dedicated to warding off a threat of cosmic proportions. Only the most powerful are allowed to assist in this endeavor, those with the power to manipulate space and time, the reality of the cosmos. This "God" is a dangerous entity. He has scattered mysterious cubes throughout reality in order to bolster his forces. Those who so much as touch these cubes become his loyal followers. Monsters.
Once a partner of S-Class Rank 1 of the Hero Association, Blast, Empty Void was one such man. He fell under God's control, and did battle with his former friend upon turning into a monster. Despite the advantage he held in strength, was severely wounded. Void spent the next 15 years dormant in a capsule tube, and formed a hidden organization known as the Ninja Village where young men are taken in. They are made to undergo hellish training, resulting in ruthless killing machines, assassins of the highest class made especially to become minions of God. As the enigmatic village leader, he became known as "That Man."

Tier: At least 2-C, High 2-A with Dimension Blades
Name: Empty Void, "That Man"
Origin: One-Punch Man
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Monster, Leader of the Ninja Village, Follower of God
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Superhuman Athleticism, Acrobatics, Genius Intelligence, Self-Sustenance (Type 1; Capable of fighting in space where he would be unable to breathe), Weapon Mastery (Of his swords), Flight, Martial Arts & Stealth Mastery (Void was the leader of the Ninja Village before it was destroyed, more skilled than the first-class ninja it trained), Blessed (Void was given power by God), Reality Warping (Was once an ally of Blast in the fight against God; only those able to manipulate the reality of the cosmos, and space-time, can do battle with God), Preparation (Void can make preparations for battle by hiding in other dimensions), Shapeshifting (Disguised himself as Flashy Flash, successfully deceiving Sonic into grabbing a cube), Body Control (Twisted his limbs and head in a way that allowed him to swing his sword backwards), Absorption (Absorbed the power of a defeated Awakened Garou, reviving himself and becoming much stronger. Absorbed Blast's gravity binds to free himself from them), Spatial Manipulation & Dimensional Travel (Grabbed the fabric of space and covered himself with it to evade Blast's attack and leave their battlefield. Void can freely leave and travel to different dimensions. His Dimension Blades cut through space itself), Teleportation (Warped next to Flashy Flash from the hyperspace to tag him with a cube), Illusion Creation (Can unleash endless ninjutsu so intense that they seem like genjutsu), Size Manipulation, which grants Higher-Dimensional Physiology & Large Size (Type 9; Upon entering hyperspace, he can grow so large that he dwarfs entire universes), Light Manipulation (Can control the light of divine power, similar to Homeless Emperor), Acausality (Type 4: Able to exist outside the causality of the universe), Adaptation & Resistance to: Emotional Manipulation (As a monster, he is a being who has abandoned what makes him human and is apart from the world, able to kill without hesitation, empathy, or subconscious restrictions on his actions, his morals having vanished), Death Manipulation, Mind Manipulation & Power Nullification (Hellfire Flame says that people from the Ninja Village should be able to fully resist the downsides of monsterization via monster cells, so someone like Void when he was human should have the same resistances as Gouketsu along with the ability to adapt to the monsterization), Mind Control (Absorbing Garou's "factor" has caused God's brainwashing over him to start wearing off), Spatial Manipulation, Mind Manipulation & Fusionism (The power of light repelled Blast's attempt at aligning his coordinates with those of Void, tearing their biological structures apart and fusing the two's bodies and consciousness together)
Illusion Creation, Transmutation & Mind Control (Using God's cubes, he can trap people in what Sonic guesses to be some sort of genjutsu that relies on the dependencies in your heart to tempt you, putting you under God's control if you fall for it. Cubes can turn people into monsters), Portal Creation (Cubes can open rifts in the fabric of space that lead to other dimensions), Time Manipulation (The cube's effects caused Blast to slip into a cleft in time)
Attack Potency: At least Low Multiverse level (Empty Void was once one of Blast's allies in the fight against God, and thus a being who manipulates the reality of the cosmos and space-time. Capable of interference from the higher dimension where God is located with his Dimension Slash. He can enter this higher dimension, a hyperspace--which is typically a space with more than 3 dimensions--while growing many times larger than entire universes; in a universe, there exist multiple parallel worlds. Became much stronger by absorbing the power of Awakened Garou before his proper fights with Saitama and Blast), High Multiverse level+ with Dimension Blades (The cover of chapter 207, [bind], states that Empty Void's swords transcend dimensions, meaning they exceed the limitations of the 4 dimensions known to exist in One-Punch Man and are unbound by them, and likewise the parallel worlds that "branch out with each possibility, infinitely bubbling forth like foam.")
Speed: Immeasurable (The Dimension Slash ignores distance. When Void performs the attack, he leaves the universe and goes straight to a place outside the causality of the universe; he then swings his sword directly into the universe, which means it’s physically traveling between two separate flows of causality/time, making it this fast. Repeatedly dodged attacks from Flashy Flash and referred to him as "too slow.” Overwhelmed Blast in a 1-on-1 fight)
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable (Can grow to be larger than entire universes. Has the strength of base Awakened Garou)
Striking Strength: At least Low Multiversal, High Multiversal+ with Dimension Blades
Durability: At least Low Multiverse level (Durable enough to tank a Gravity Knuckle from Blast and later many attacks from him after he got serious), High Multiverse level+ with Dimension Blades (His swords transcend dimensions and are therefore this durable)
Stamina: Superhuman (Should have better stamina than the ninja trained in his village, especially since he's a monster. One day in the village lasted 72 hours, only 6 of which were for sleep. The students spent every day living as machines that did nothing but learn techniques for killing)
Range: Standard melee range. Extended melee range with swords. At least Low Multiversal with Size Manipulation. High Multiversal with Dimension Blades.
Standard Equipment: God Cubes, Dimension Blades (his swords)
Intelligence: Genius (Empty Void is responsible for a Ninja Village that trains and produces first-class assassins, ones of the highest class. This was his way of providing God with minions for when he recovers. He is said to be the most powerful ninja in history, and is likely the most skilled; Void can unleash endless ninjutsu so intense that others would think they were genjutsu, making him more skilled than ninja with genius level ability like Gale Wind, Hellfire Flame, and Flashy Flash)
Weaknesses: None notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Dimension Slash: Empty Void's signature technique as far as we have seen. Void transports himself out of the universe, reaching a hyperspace where he becomes so large, entire dimensions appear before him like bubbles. Then, using special jutsu, Void causes an intervention in the universe from the outside, unleashing a massive, devastating, and destructive cross-slash on his target.
- Spinning Wind Blade: Empty Void delivers a cascade of circular attacks around himself using his swords.
Note: I don’t believe it matters that the “transcending dimensions” statement is from a chapter cover. That doesn’t automatically invalidate it. There are covers that say things that are blatantly true in the series, like “The Abominable Fist That Turned Against God,” where Garou is referred to as the ultimate in martial arts after he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the story. There’s covers describing a character’s abilities that I’d argue are consistent with scaling, like the one for “Speedster,” where Flashy Flash is referred to as faster than light. That one is similar in nature to Empty Void’s cover, which is consistent with the portrayal of his cosmic powers. There are inevitably more examples I won’t cover here. At worst, chapter covers should be looked at case by case, and I wouldn’t just assume they’re wrong or hyperbolic for no reason.
