How Powerful Is Ashborn?
Ashborn, also known as the Shadow Monarch, is one of the Rulers, an ancient race of humanoids with unimaginable powers and the natural enemies of the Monarchs.
To ensure the ultimate eradication of the Monarchs, Ashborn chooses Sung Jin Woo as his host. He gives the young hunter his powers, including his Shadow Extraction.
This technique allows Ashborn and also Jin Woo to extract the shadows of corpses and add them to his army.
How Powerful Is Antares?
Antares is arguably one of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling. Fittingly, he appears in the manhwa's final arc, as is often the case with the most powerful antagonist of a series.
Of course, some fans would argue that Jin Woo was too overpowered by that time for the stakes to be real.
Like other Monarchs, Antares possesses terrifying physical strength and he's nearly invulnerable.
His scariest power is Dragon's Fear, a mana-infused shout that can cause extreme despair to his victims.
Who Would Win in an Ashborn vs Antares Match in Solo Leveling? Possible Outcomes
The Solo Leveling manhwa doesn't show a battle between Antares and Ashborn, and power is hard to measure, but most fans feel that Antares would win.
This theory is supported by the fact that Ashborn chose to train another, giving him immeasurable power, instead of facing Antares himself.
Unlike the Monarchs, Ashborn did not seek violence, and he wanted the conflict between the Rulers and the Monarchs to end.
If he thought that killing Antares himself would have been a better option, we think that he would have picked it over his elaborate plan with Jin Woo.
By the end of the manhwa, Jin Woo is arguably the strongest character in the series, perhaps only second to the Absolute Being who created the Rulers.
Ultimately, Jin Woo's training and level-ups led him to surpass both Ashborn and the Monarchs in strength, though fans are still debating as to who is the strongest.
This rendered him the best candidate to end the bloodshed. It seems likely that Ashborn foresaw his successor had the potential to become more powerful than himself and thus better equipped against Antares.
