over death, and his hordes of undead and spirits.

immortality, and the relentless support of his spectral forces.
Vs T-800 Terminator: Nagash, as his magical abilities and control over legions of
undead could overwhelm the T-800’s technological prowess.
Vs The Master Chief: Nagash, because his necromantic powers and the sheer
numbers of his undead army could potentially outmatch The Master Chief’s

Woman’s divine powers. However, Nagash’s control over death and his endless
undead legions might give him the edge in a prolonged conflict.
