In Diablo's worldview, apart from some ancient Nephi heavens that only exist in the setting, the two forces of heaven and hell are far stronger than the humans in the sanctuary. But after the release of "Diablo 3", the protagonist Nephilim far surpassed everyone with his strength of breaking the file, and it is not an exaggeration to say that even if everyone in the game added a piece, Nephilim was not enough to fight.
In fact, excluding the protagonist's aura of too dazzling Nephilim, there are still some famous ruthless characters in the game, and their strength is also quite strong, even to the point that they can change the direction of a war by themselves. It's just that they were all covered by the light of Nephilim before, and after excluding Nephilia, you will find that their combat power is almost unstoppable, and the most famous of them are the following 5.
1. The Barbarian Ancestor of the Heights of Arret
In the fifth act of Diablo 2, players will face off in a battle with three Barbarian ancestors on their way to the summit of Mount Arrett, the sacred mountain of the Barbarians: Madoc with a dual axe, Corick with a spear, and Tariq with a sword and shield. These three bosses are arguably the hardest bosses in the entire game in Hell difficulty, and compared to these three Barbarian Ancestors, the final boss Barr is much less difficult.
In fact, these three ancestors have long since passed away, and it is only their heroic spirits that remain in Arrett Mountain. Even so, the heroic spirit of these three ancestors can still withstand almost any enemy. Even Baal, one of the three strongest demon kings of Hell, had to deliberately bypass the place they were guarding on his way, because even he didn't have the confidence to defeat these three Heroic Spirits and didn't dare to confront them directly.
2. Seven-in-one Demon God
The seven-in-one demon god appeared in the fourth act of the "Diablo" base game, and after years of layout by Diablo, one of the three demon kings of hell, it successfully resurrected the body of the three generations of heroine Leah, and also collected the souls of the other six demon kings and fused them with their own souls, transforming into a great demon god.
The Great Demon God, who has gathered the power of the Seven Demon Kings, is already the strongest existence in the game, and even Impres, the most powerful angel in Heaven, was seriously injured after only a few rounds of support in the face of it, and the spear in his hand was broken. If it weren't for the last moment, the three generations of protagonists Nephilim felt that the eternal battle that had lasted for countless years might really be ended, and heaven and the place of refuge would no longer exist, and it had to be said that no matter how strong it was in front of the protagonist's aura, it would be useless.
3. The Angel of Death, Masayr
Masayr was originally a wise archangel of the High Heavens, but after countless years of eternal war, he lost interest in this war, so he left the High Heaven alone to find a way to end the eternal war.
It reappears in the Diablo 3 expansion "Scythe of the Soul", where it suddenly appears and captures the soul stone that seals the souls of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, and takes it to the Chaos Castle in the center of the Chaos Realm, where it wants to reshape the soul stone and absorb all the demon souls in it to destroy all the living beings in all planes except the High Heavens.
I have to say that Masayir, who has turned into an angel of death, has also greatly strengthened his strength, even if he does not absorb soul stones, he will not be weaker than any archangel and demon king. After losing to Nephiten, he smashed the soul stone and devoured the souls of the Seven Demon Kings and all the demons, and his strength suddenly increased to the point where he could be comparable to the Great Demon God. It's a pity that he is facing Nephilim, who has defeated the Great Demon God for many years and is much stronger, and the final result is also obvious.
4. Valiant Angel Impres
Impreus is the commander of Heaven, and he is also the most capable person in the entire high-level Heaven, every time he fights with the army of hell, he always rushes to the front line, no matter which demon king is against him, he basically can't please him. Many people ridiculed him for being beaten to death by the Great Demon God a few times in the three generations of plots, but no one thought that he was facing the combination of 7 demon kings whose strength was not much weaker than him, and it was already ridiculously strong to be able not to be killed in seconds.
In fact, compared to his combat effectiveness, his courage is even more admirable, because a powerhouse of his level, in the previous battle, he has long been clear about the strength of his old rival Diablo, and he knew that he was by no means an opponent at the first sight of the Great Demon God. But even in the face of this kind of opponent that he can't defeat at all, as the strongest combat power in the entire heaven, in order to protect the home behind him, he rushed forward without hesitation, and this Impres is enough to be called a hero.
5. Tyrell, the Angel of Justice
The strength of Tyrell, the Angel of Justice, can basically be called second only to Impres, and it will not be much different, because the two have fought each other and won or lost. In the whole game, it can be regarded as the strongest gear except for Nephilim, and even if you face the three strongest demon kings in hell, you will definitely not lose.
Humanity and Sanctuary survived the Eternal War thanks to Tyrell's crucial vote, which prevented Heaven's decision to clear Sanctuary from taking effect. In the final finale of "Diablo 2", it was also he who split the world stone that bound humans with a sword, thus unlocking the power of Nephilim in the human body, which created the invincible Nephilim in "Diablo 3". If it weren't for him, there would be no one to stand in Diablo 3 at the end to fight against the Great Demon God.
summary
In fact, there are still many extremely powerful characters in the Diablo series that have not been created by the game, such as the group of ancient Nephitian, which only exists in the official plot setting, and any one of them is a character who destroys the world. However, judging from the plot of Diablo 4, Blizzard doesn't seem to want to make the combat power too inflated at present, so the whereabouts of the three generations of Nephilim have not been explained, and it may be that in the follow-up expansion and even the sequel, these ruthless people who have not appeared will meet players one by one.
