Darkness is localized. Hence he cannot travel across the country continuously at his current speed as in crossing outside of the field of darkness he would be unable to retain current speeds. His ability is also only retained at night, which is defined by the presence of natural sunlight. Hence while he could travel across the country using his speed, he can use another power far more easily to appear appropriately (his water travel abilities). And of course that is the point of the debate isn't it? You have science and I have magic. attempting to explain magic with science is tedious at best. As even you have yet to provide the formula which sustains life, (I may do so actually with having a Purge scientist, already working up on the concepts, I'd reckon it would be a throwback to modernized alchemy which how Crowley refined a sample for Bedivere. A similar process could be used to create the unknown formula. Although explaining the science of it's mechanics is tedious at best.)

As for the localization Currently it is over Kilo Point, and removal of his presence from Kilo Point, and hence Excalibur, would slowly return the area to its natural order of light. Doing the same to an entire country would take far longer, and cause much greater concern. Hence please do not find the set up in creating a battlefield of darkness (especially at night) so unreasonable to do in 2-3 posts. I mean your purge members managed to do far more in 2-3 posts with your machines in setting up the battlefield after all.

Anyways, we are in limbo.

Once more. Light-speed. Once you have set up your area, you are impossible to defeat, or even harm in any feasible way. Furthermore, you gain the ability to instantly kill anyone within the zone. Had I given Kami no Kage the ability to call in laser-based orbital weaponry to instantly annihilate targets after setting it up, this would have annoyed you as well. Any ability that results in unavoidable instakill capabilities requires SEVERE penalties. It requiring some time to set up, and only functioning at night, still allows you to use it most of the time with ease. Seeing as how there is no effective counter to this ability possible, it's overpowered.

My counterproposition would be to reduce Bedhivere's power to simply be more powerful at night, as his CS would imply. So at night, provided there are no powerful light sources nearby, he could move at nearly supersonic speeds, which makes him capable of instantly defeating anyone. However, it would allow the possibility of a counter - the use of light sources - and it would not cause the entire area to automatically shift to your advantage. Whilst still incredibly powerful, this ability would reduce Bedhivere from being capable of automatic annihilation.

As it stands, I see no logical way for SOLDIER, or the Purge, to have any chance of victory whatsoever. If Bedhivere pleased, he could quite easily kill all of them instantly. Seeing as how Bedhivere's motivation is to destroy humanity, it's going to take constant bullshitting to prevent him from doing just that.
