Note: This is the oldest existing showcase of Nessus. Months later it still hasn't been topped...
Update: After 7 months and a brand new discovery a method to go much further has been found. All will be revealed later.

Story:
-----------------------------------------------
The idea of Nessus came around a few months back when Dolorem Aeterna was discovered to be physically impossible everywhere due to a glitch in the game. I thought of a level that would work in the game's boundaries, initially by using a click counter to force a player to click every frame for 67,108,864 units on 60fps, the maximum at 4x speed. This proved to be far easier than 3sh x 2^48 however, and the idea died temporarilly. Then, during a discussion on the Impossible Levels List, I pulled up the idea of the hardest physically possible level again. This is what would birth Nessus, named after the lowest layer of hell in Dungeons & Dragons.
Initially I wanted to use a click counter for the level, but I wanted the level to be unique in a time where the hardest level race was more of a competition of who can build a bigger click counter. Had I used a click counter, that level still would be easier than current Nessus if going by amount of clicks.
The level will remain the hardest gameplay based level until 2.2 rolls around.
