Reality

Et in Arcadia Ego had been intended for Malkuth. Against an enemy whose main weapon was effectively reality, the obvious solution would seem to be simple—not easy to accomplish, perhaps, but conceptually simple. If Malkuth could be removed from reality, from the rules he bent to accomplish his goals, he’d be powerless, or at least a hell of a weaker. It was an interesting idea that was sadly doomed from the very start.

You can’t take someone outside Reality—there is no ‘outside’ Reality. In a lot of stories, you’d hear about things ‘outside’ the Universe and such, but that was a contradiction; you can’t exist outside the Universe, because the Universe is, simply put, ‘everything that exists.’ And even if it did ‘exist,’ it probably wouldn’t be something you could interact with. People might envision it as a great void with the Universe hanging in it, but Reality goes beyond stuff like that. Outside Reality, who was to say that anything like space or time had meaning? How could you travel there, then, or exist there? How could you even make a doorway to a place that didn’t have laws governing motion or interaction? Those were all Universal concepts, after all.
