ALL 9 Monarchs & GODS in Solo Leveling (Ranked & Explained)

they can easily destroy worlds and have the power to turn back time these are the most powerful gods in Solo leveling to understand their powers let me first explain who was the absolute being in another world there was only light and darkness then came this dude all covered in silver and gold pointy and super shiny he was known as the absolute being and he was so overpowered that he split the light to create the messengers of God God and darkness to create the monarchs the monarchs were born to destroy the world and the messengers were born to protect it so basically the monarchs are like troubled children and The Messengers are like the well- behaved kids it's not really like that The Messengers and monarchs fought each other for a very long time but nobody could truly stand Victorious so The Messengers grew tired of this endless war and asked their creator the absolute being to help them defeat the monarchs once and for all but you know this absolute being just cved him hard so basically he didn't say anything that's when The Messengers realized that their creator liked watching them fight and didn't want the war to stop of course there's nothing more entertaining than watching children fight you know what happens when kids don't get what they want right they start to Rebel The Messengers figured that as long as the absolute being was around the war would never stop in short these kids made a plan to kill their dad but there was one who didn't agree with this plan one Monarch named ashborne he was the only messenger who stayed loyal and tried to stop the others from killing their dad but since there were so many against him ashborne got overwhelmed and nearly died right at the brink of his death he found out that the absolute being had sneakily hidden a special power inside him with this newfound power he raised an army of Undead soldiers and charged into battle but by the time he got back to the absolute being it was already too late the other Messengers had already stormed the throne room and attacked their creator they are ashborne found the absolute being sitting lifeless on his throne his body pierced by countless Spears covered in blood betrayed and murdered by his own Creations so the lesson here is guys don't have children but how did the rulers kill the absolute being I mean he's the OG God why would he die at the hands of his own creation so ashron explained in chapter 163 there is no such thing as infinite power just like how the absolute being was defeated by his creations all power has an end it's no different from how humans are killed or hurt by Machines of their own making you know for example our phones are great tools and weapons to mess up our own head the rulers and monarchs were created to fight and they became so strong that they could even kill their own father just think of it like the movies about how AI could destroy Humanity so after they successfully murdered their own Creator The Messengers who rebelled took over as gods and became known as the ruler the rulers used special tools that had the power of the absolute being with these devices they started to attack the monarchs and even caught one of them lasia lasia is the king of the Giants and the monarch of the beginning the main issue with this character is that we haven't actually seen his full power that's why I put him at the very end of our list because it's kind of hard to tell if he's actually the strongest or the weakest Monarch here are two reasons why it's so confusing number one he was easily captured by the rulers which might suggest he's not that strong number two the rulers went after him on purpose because he has a special kind of power that can turn the tides of a battle this idea makes sense especially since ashborne mentioned that the capture of Leia led to a collapse in the balance of power I also think he's quite clever especially in how he tried to persuade Jin Wu let me explain in chapter 137 when jinu confronted this giant legia was so excited because he thought he would finally be free he promised that if Jin Buu released him he would help him in the big war that was about to come see he's trying to manipulate I think this guy would do great on hinge but of course Jin Wu doesn't trust him how can you trust a monster that is just en chained in the first place so to gain jinu's trust Leia cast a magic spell called the pledge of trust this spell made sure that neither of them could tell lies to each other sneaky trick right but of course it was actually a scam then jinu thought that if Leia was going to be his ally anyway why not just turn this giant into one of his shadow Soldiers the guy is cold at first Leia was terrified because he thought he saw ashborne for a second then he explained that Jin Wu couldn't actually turn him into a shadow soldier this is because monarchs and rulers have Astro bodies that get destroyed when they die so Jin Wu can turn the king of the giants into his shadow Leia still tried to convince Jin Wu to free him and become allies but jinu was way smarter than that jinu found something called an Essence stone stuck in the back of Leia's neck that was a bad news because as long as that stone was in the giant's neck it would make him kill humans when leer realized he had been caught he tried to attack Jin Wu but jinu was way too fast and Dodge all his moves then with just one powerful hit Jin Wu ended Leia's life so in theory Leia was a major threat not just because of his strength but also because he was really cunning however he wasn't so lucky with jinu who was just a little too sharp for him now here's what I'm thinking why was Leia called the monarch of the beginning what's up with the beginning was he like the very first Monarch ever or is there something else behind it or what if he had some ability to mess with time sort of like a mini version of the cup of reincarnation this cup is a powerful item that the rulers actually used to turn back time I'm going to explain that more later next up is tarac the monarch of Steel and king of monsters just like Leia we didn't get to see much of tac's power but judging by his title the monarch of steel or the monarch of the iron body he's probably like the tank among the monarchs he can also transform into a monster however I think his transformation doesn't really enhance his combat power because this guy first showed up with the other three monarchs when they murdered Christopher Reed so tarac teaming up with the other monarchs suggests that he's more of a tank or support rather than the main damage dealer then in chapter 152 when the frost Monarch wanted the other monarchs to help him kill Jin Wu before he got to powerful tarac was the first one to say oh hell no he thought trying to fight Jin Wu on their own was a really bad idea because jinu can whoop their asses tarac believed it was smarter to wait for anteras the monarch of Destruction to come back and help them so if Tarak is so strong why wait for anteras I'm not saying tarac isn't powerful but compared to the other Monarch's destructive abilities he might not be on the same level you know what I mean this could be why he prefers having a teammate to handle the attacks while he focuses on defense fast forward when ANZ showed up in the human world tarac joined him and ended up facing Thomas Andre on the battlefield tarac decided to take Thomas on in a fight but tarac was too cocky and he even mentioned that he can kill Andre in a blink of an eye yet he didn't realize that Thomas was prepared the monarch of Steel was surprised when Bellion and bu suddenly jumped out of Thomas's Shadow tarac then realized it's a trap it's a trap tarac tried to call anth using his mind reading powers to warn him but couldn't because Tusk had blocked his telepathy cutting off his communication with anes taric was so pissed because he was outplayed by Jin Wu so the monarch of Steel transformed himself into a monster and tried to beat Thomas Bellion and baru all on his own but it didn't work out for him even just the two Shadows were too strong for tarac and they beat him up and that proves that the monarch of Steel was not as strong as he really thought he was sure he's tough but B and Bellion are on a whole in of the level tarac just couldn't keep up because he's not the best when it comes to dealing damage even though we didn't get to see all of Leia's true power I still think tarac is stronger but if it turns out that the giant king Leia can actually mess with time well that's a whole different storyline now going back to chapter 152 there's a second person aside from tarac that refused when the frost Monarch asked the other monarchs to help him kill Jin wo and that's yogun the monarch of transfiguration and the king of demonic spectors the reason why he refused to help the frost Monarch is because yogun doesn't want to end up like the monarch of white Flames which is Boton The Demon King and I'll explain the story in more detail later so if tarac was kind of like a tank then yogam was more like a mage the only thing we know about his powers is that he can open portals that's probably why he's called the monarch of transfiguration because he can change or manipulate space and actually we saw this in action in chapter 173 in chapter 173 yogun tried to help anes beat Jin Wu by opening lots of portals to bring in more Dragon soldiers but their plan didn't work this was because jinu's skill dragon's fearsome Roar rendered the dragon Army useless it immobilized every single Dragon including yogam after that no one knew where yogaman went I think maybe he died from emotional damage I also think he's kind of like tarac yogun just supports other monarchs because he can't really deal damage by himself unless he summons a powerful monster or demonic Spectre to fight for him so if you figure out a way to stop yogun from summoning portals or if you immobilize him just like Jin Wu did then he's pretty much out of the fight later when Jin Wu finally defeated anteras he asked the rulers to use the cup of reincarnation one last time to turn back time after that jinu started to chase the monarchs in a place called The dimensional Rift or chaos world where Jin Wu finally found yogun and definitely smashed there were actually two monarchs who teamed up up with the frost morar to try and take down jinu the first was raken and the second was kesa the queen of insects and the monarch of plagues and guess what Jin Wu ended up fighting all three of them at the same time so when you compare her up against the other three monarchs we talked about kesa is way stronger because she actually went toe to- Toe with jinu at least she had courage and that's the type of Queen I needed my life a Courageous one cuz I'm scared of Life the insect Queen launched her attack on jinu with an army of corpses which she controlled using parasites but during the fight she got way too focused on trying to mess with bu's mind big mistake while she was distracted jinu saw the opportunity and my boy he took it he snuck up behind her and slashed her face man kesa was absolutely Furious so she regenerated her entire body and tried to hit Jin Wu with her poison but here's the thing our boy Jin Wu is totally immune to poison this just made Kira even more enraged sounds like my ex-girlfriend you know what I'm I'm saying she charged at Jin Wu but he easily stopped her with the ruler's Authority then with a swift move he uses mutilation skill to slice her entire body into pieces now here's what I think about why Kisha is stronger than previous monarchs I mentioned earlier if she will fight against tarac it might be a tough fight cuz tarac is a tank but if she continuously overwhelms this guy with her zombie army then she could probably win or she can rain tarac down with her poison to wear down this armor fighting against yogun is a difficult scenario cuz a monarch of Transfiguration can easily summon monsters that can wipe out Kisha zombie army yet if the insect Queen can restrain yogun then there's nothing that he can do if she fights against Leia it could be a tough battle because the giant king with his wits and strength can totally flip the battle's outcome of course he has giant armies but I think the zombie apocalypse Army might just overwhelm them cuz you know they don't die sort of plus if these Giants die she could also take control of them with their parasites however like I mentioned before if Malaysia can manipulate time k Kia might struggle to combat the monarch of the beginning but since we haven't seen the full might of these three based on what we've seen in the Mana Kisha seems definitely stronger than the others next up is the frost Monarch but unlike the other monarchs this guy doesn't even have a name the frost Monarch went to Korea and hunted down chairman goang HEI one of the ruler vessels and managed to kill him side note the rulers don't appear much in the story but their human vessels did like Jin Wu since ashborne was a former ruler Thomas Andre Christopher Reed and jinu's Dad SEL Juan the monarch of frost is super tricky to fight because he's smart and uses everything to his Advantage I like guys like this you know working at full potential not letting anything go to waste like this one time he was fighting chairman ganhe and just as zenu showed up the frost Monarch quickly made a huge ice wall and threw an ice spear at gun he just to distract jinu heartless that quick thinking gave him just enough time to escape he's a cold mofo literally after seeing Jin Wu's power the frost Monarch real realized that they could actually lose a war if Jin Wu was to go against them that's why he met up with the other monarchs and asked for their help to quickly defeat jinu before he realizes full power tarnak and yogaman were too scared and disagreed but raken and Kura thought they could win since they believed jinu wasn't at his strongest just yet during the fight with Jin Wu the frost Monarch showed off his powerful abilities as soon as Jin Wu summoned his Shadows the frost Monarch instantly froze them with his icy breath now this guy needs Trident he could could even create weapons out of ice and summon ice Golems so the frost Monarch already showed two advantages against the other monarchs one is that he can freeze an entire Army so even if you have Giants or zombies he can instantly stop them plus aside from his army of ice elves he can even create his own monsters which are the ice Golems meaning that the frost Monarch can't be outnumbered plus he can also create his own weapons and he has an immense speed and strength that actually went toe-to-toe with Jin Wu in their second battle when Jin Wu killed kesa the frost Monarch kept kept Jin Wu busy and racken sneakily attacked Jin Wu from behind seriously hurting him for a moment it seemed like they had defeated Jin Wu but that's what they thought because Jin Wu has two hearts and when his black heart started beating again he came back to life the monarchs tried to finish him off but then IL Juan showed up with a super strong kick he sent them flying to a nearby building seeing that they were losing raken decided to bail leaving the frost Monarch to fight Jin Wu by himself even though he was by himself the frost Monarch didn't give up he created a giant ice storm that chopped off ilan's left arm but just as he was about to beat elwan Jin Vu returned back from the dead the frost Monarch stubborn as ever tried to fight Jin Wu throwing his Trident and casting ice magic but nothing worked against Shinu he broke the Trident with just one hand and slashed the frost Monarch across the chest and that's how he finally Avenged chairman Gangi the monarch of frost can absolutely handle the monarchs tarac yant and Kisha either he he can overpower them with his powers armies and of course with his strength or speed but apart from that I think he's just smarter than the others although if he'll be fighting against the monarch raken then I don't think he can win now let's talk about the king of beasts the monarch of fangs raken when he showed up rampaging through the city Thomas Andre tried to stop him Andre put up a great fight but raken in his full power was too much for Thomas so imagine if the frost Monarch fights against raken yes the frost Monarch is fast and his ice magic is tricky but remember during Ren's fight with Andre raken wasn't using his full power so if raken transforms into his true form he could easily overpower the frost Monarch for sure also Thomas and tarac seem similar in their abilities but of course tarac the monarch of Steel is stronger however if tarnak and raken were to battle raken strength could easily break through tarn's Tough Armor even if raken were to fight against an army he could handle it pretty well because he also has his own Army plus his true form is massive he's so powerful he could defeat an entire Army by himself and with his size he could tackle Giants as well Justice raken was about to kill Andre Leonard nman an srank hunter from Germany stepped in but even nman stood no chance against raken and nearly met his end he was on the brink of defeat until one of jinu's Shadows intervene stopping raken in his tracks moments later jinu appeared and delivered a crushing ax kick smashing raken into the ground a few chapters later when jinbu came back to life ra totally freaked out then Ilan showed up and kicked off a fierce fight with raken and the frost Monarch the moment the king of beasts realized he couldn't stop jinu raken didn't waste a second he dished the frost Monarch and escaped through a portal damn racking a chicken he actually pulled that same stunt and he and the Demon King Bon betrayed ashborne yeah that's the only problem with raken if he knows his enemy stronger the guy's going to run away so raken tried to hide himself but he soon realized Jin Wu had followed him knowing he couldn't beat Jin Wu or Escape raken bowed his head and begged for forgiveness jinu agreed but only if raken could withstand five of his attacks first realizing jinu was mocking him raken transformed into his ultimate form ready to fight back with all his might but jinu defeated him easily now let's talk about the king of demons and the monarch of white Flames Bon but first let me show you what happened so you'll understand the Demon King's power in chapter 128 when the architect revealed the past to jinbu he saw that right after ashborne destroyed the ruler soldiers Baron and raken leading their own armies tried to attack the shadow Monarch but despite Baron's efforts ashborne defeated both him and the monarch of fangs raken actually ran away from the fight leaving the Demon King behind rakan is a big wussy mate then ashborne approached Bon and asked why he had turned against the shadow Monarch we didn't get a proper answer because well we all can't really speak demon this made ashborne so pissed that he ended up crushing Boton skull with one hand The Demon King that jinu fought in the demon Castle is actually a copy of Bon made by the architect to be the final boss yet even as a copy this guy was strong I mean he can summon many demons through portals his lightning breath and those hit by it instantly gets stunned that's why jinu had a rough time with B to but thanks to a distraction caused by essel jinu managed to win he ripped off Bon's left arm and smacked him hard in the jaw which literally destroyed Bon's body so if the copy of the Demon King was this powerful just imagine how overpowered the original Baron must have been we didn't get a chance to see the full extent of this Monarch's power but his formidable strength might just be exactly why anteras ordered him in raken to betray ashborne why probably because raken and barn were on the same level of strength making them the only monarchs who had a real shot at taking on the shadow Monarch yet there's still a chance that Barn was actually stronger than raken because the moment raken saw Baron Was Defeated he left him so if someone gets defeated you wouldn't give up unless you think they were stronger than you and they got defeated next anares the king of dragons and the monarch of Destruction anas finally came to the human world through a huge gate in Canada my country there he met J Mills an s-rank Hunter when ANZ saw that jinu wasn't there he used his fiery breath to turn Jay into ashes feeling pleased anes let his Dragon Army loose destroying everything in their path so if ANZ can e easily kill you with just his breath and has an entire Army of dragons backing him up which of the other monarchs can stand against him except ashorne of course even if you have an army of giants zombies and demons they won't stand a chance against the dragon king and let's not even count the ice Golems cuz they'll just instantly melt away when jinu finally showed up he teleported anares with him to a far off Island in Japan the two started fighting there ANZ was tough to beat because he could turn into a dragon at first no matter how many times jinu attacked the dragon came King scales were so thick that Jin Wu's attacks didn't even scratch onto us this part literally shows that the Dragon King ain't just destructive but he's also defensively strong I mean the guy's a tank Tarik must be jealous of this guy which means even if Bon had Thunder breath it'll only tickle anes if the monarch of frost uses his ice magic against this dragon that magic will just be like a popsicle of ice cream that he can eat and even raken can transform into a giant wolf but there's no chance he can bite through an an's dragon scales in short they'll just die fighting anes so the Dragon King stopped fighting for a moment and offered not to Har all the humans if Jin Wu helped him defeat the rulers but of course Jin Wu rejected this offer this made them start fighting again it was a tough battle but when Jin Wu got a chance to use his dad's special dagger to nearly split anares in two anes was really surprised to see that jinu had actually managed to hurt him then he noticed the armies of the rulers up in the sky and realized jinu had been planning this all along jinu also revealed that ANZ is the one who ordered raken and Bon to attack ashborne after revealing that ANZ was behind the Betrayal jinu couldn't help but mock The Dragon King his mockery taunted anteras who then tried to attack jinu one last time however the rulers jumped in and defeated him with their Spears bro got fatality now with all the monarchs totally defeated jinu had a special request he asked the rulers to use the cup of reincarnation again to rewind time aiming to bring bring back the many lives lost in the battle the rulers agreed in Turn Back Time Boom ANZ and all the other monarchs were alive again but there was a catch the monarchs would still remember everything that had happened before which somehow wasn't really a big deal for our boy Jin Wu he hunted down the monarchs and beat them all without much trouble fast forward 27 years anadas was the only monarch left that's when jinbu showed up in his Palace ready to defeat him and finish everything the Dragon King was really happy to get another chance to fight Jin Wu in the end Jin Wu won the battle the only injury he got was a bad burn on his left hand next the original Shadow Monarch and the king of the Dead ashborne when the rulers captured Leia the giant king the balance of powers collapsed ashborne seized that chance to reach out to the other monarchs in order to face off against the rulers the monarchs had no choice but to team up with ashborne after that ashborne fought alongside the monarchs and became the monarch of Shadows ashborne was so powerful the rulers and even the monarchs feared him that's why anteras ordered the demon king and the king of beasts to betray ashborne but these MOS didn't stand a chance against the shadow Monarch since Jin Wu ended up killing all the monarchs and since he and ashor are the same it's obvious that ashborne is way stronger than all of the eight monarchs combined despite having massive massive armies or crazy superpowers Jin Wu is proof of how strong ashborne really was I mean Jin Wu didn't even lift a finger against tarac jant died without doing anything anything while raken Kisha and the frost Monarch with their combined Powers were useless against Jin Wu so raken ran away and barn ended up dying after that the rulers appeared knelt before ashborne and asked for forgiveness bruh the rulers could have easily killed ashborne at that time but instead they all kneeled and said sorry to him why I think this is because they didn't just fear him but they also respected ashborne of course ashborne was Furious and didn't want to forgive anybody he even told them to end the war by killing him right there but the rulers just kept asking for forgiveness ashor was so confused and didn't know what to do he then decided to hide in order to plan his revenge against the monarchs who betrayed him so ashborne left the big battle to strengthen his shadow Army again while he was hiding the monarchs lost a huge amount of fighting Power and were defeated by the rulers see that's how powerful ashborne was if the monarchs hadn't betrayed him they couldn't have been defeated by the way guys the rulers and monarchs have spiritual bodies and don't have their own physical bodies to visit the human world they need to use human bodies they pick people and use those bodies but they let people stay in control of themselves rulers can't actually use their full power this way unlike the monarchs who totally take over the human's body and use it for themselves so both ashborne and anares possess enormous power to cross into the world or Earth they need a human vessel that can handle such power this is why ash and anes can't find a suitable vessel cuz they're just too overpowered this is where the architect comes in he off eff to find ashborne a suitable human and in exchange he asked for immortality ashborne agreed with the architect and spent years searching for a suitable vessel the architect actually had a tough time because no living being could become a vessel for death that's when ashborne found Jin Wu Jin Wu was chosen because he had stepped beyond the boundaries of the system that the architect had created a human who didn't follow its rules and did things differently plus jinu was always weak and constantly facing death yet he always managed to escape with his life even though though the architect disagreed ashborne still chose Jin Wu then Jin Wu and ashborne became one that's why ashborne said to Jin Wu I am the record of your bitter struggle I am the evidence of your resistance I am the reward of your pain I am death I am Eternal rest and I am also Terror I am you so after fully absorbing ashbourne's Powers Jin Wu actually surpassed ashmor with that kind of power do you think Jin Wu could take on the strongest as a guy characters
