Solo leveling is about the crazy battles that Sung Jinwoo fights. In the first two seasons of the series, Sung Jinwoo faced several overpowered enemies. Although they were incredibly outnumbered, most of these enemies ended up killing Jinwoo and some others were recruited into his shadow army. The biggest and most capable villain of the party he has faced so far is the Ant King, whose terror was unleashed during the raid on Jeju Island. His strength was absolutely immense, enough to defeat almost all of the S-Rank hunters from South Korea and Japan.
While Ant-King was strong, it pales in comparison to the next big villain in the franchise, which debuts in Solo leveling Season 3 — The Architect. An architect named Kandiaru is one of the most important and powerful characters in all of Solo Leveling, and the next season of the franchise will highlight his immense power in the official Manhwa Double Dungeon Arc, which goes beyond chapter 123 – 131.
Solo Leveling: Why Jinwoo was given System Power explained
Jinwoo was selected by the system in Solo Leveling. Here's why.
Why The Architect Is The New Strongest Solo Villain In Season 3
Solo leveling Fans who are caught up on the Manhwa or have read the web novel are well aware of the fact that the franchise is now set to be more intense than ever before. Introducing powerful villains capable of shaking the world and revealing the Monarchs and Overlords, Season 3 of Solo Leveling will usher in a new era for the series. In the middle of it all, the System Architect, also known as Kandiaru, finally shows up. The other main solo leveling arc is the Double Dungeon arc, and its main villain is The Architect – the man responsible for creating the System, who chose Sung Jinwoo as the one to gain this power. The reveal of Kandiar's character solves a lot of mysteries in Solo Leveling Season 3 while adding more intrigue to the plot.
As the moderator of the System, he invites Jinwoo to return to the Double Dungeon where it all began for Jinwoo after reaching level 100. Based on the web novel by the creator of ChugongEven though Jinwoo has reached such a high level, Kandiaru's influence in the new arc of the series is such that he is barely able to overcome the challenges he puts before him. Kandiaru can not only block some of the abilities Jinwoo gets from the System, but also do things like set timers in battles. Added to that, he even surpasses the Ant King in raw strength, making him the biggest threat Jinwoo has faced in Solo Leveling so far.
Why the architect is stronger than Sung Jinwoo next season
To increase the intensity and showcase the level of threat in the Double Dungeon arc, Sung Jinwoo will first be defeated by the Architect in Solo Leveling Season 3. As a System Moderator, Kandiaru is incredibly powerful. He wields powerful stone statues, including the God Statue that, along with others, took out Jinwoo's friends at the beginning of Season 1. He also has incredible strength himself. In terms of brute strength, he is strong enough to send Jinwoo flying with a single punch, according to the official chapter 125 of the manhwa. His speed is great enough to make it difficult for Jinwoo to track him – something even the Ant King couldn't do. He is also a master in hand-to-hand combat, capable of overpowering even Jinwoo. His greatest power of all comes from the Ruler's authoritya unique skill with which he can easily control objects such as stone statues, as shown in the Solo Leveling manhwa, chapters 124-126. While Jinwoo was able to take down his statues, Kandiaru put him into an altered state of mind, rendering him useless.
At the end of the day, Jinwoo is no match for Ashborn like he is now. To defeat him, he will need the help of Ashborn, someone to whom he was meant to be sacrificed. If Ashborn, the former Shadow Monarch, had not betrayed the Architect, Jinwoo would surely have died and become a vessel. However, even after his greatest upgrade, Jinwoo was still unable to kill Kandiara. Kandiaru's real body remains unharmed.
