kwantum0, teleportation in the Index-verse works more like
hyperspace/slipspace jumps. Objects using this method do not experience the relativistic effects of FTL travel, as they are still traveling at subliminal speeds inside slipspace. Basically, it's like taking a shortcut through dimensions. An excerpt from the link:

Slipspace can be thought of as our detectable universe (which, technically, it is) but with a greater number of dimensions. Our plane of existence is thought to have four dimensions (up-down, front-back, side-to-side and time), but Slipspace is an eleven-dimensional spacetime. Slipspace is currently theorized as a "tangle" of our plane's dimensions, rather like taking the classic "flat sheet" used to represent gravity and crumpling it up into a ball, thereby creating extra dimensions and shorter spaces between points. The slipstream also possesses different laws of physics than our "normal" universe, although some basic ones, such as energy transfer and momentum, remain the same.

I find this highly relevant since Index-verse teleportation makes use of the theoretical 11th dimension, which is among the bundle of seven dimensions which make up slipstream space.
On Imagine Breaker (IB):
Remember the
Omnipotence Paradox? The classic version of this goes:
Could [an omnipotent being] create a stone so heavy that even that being could not lift it?
Yes, I'm thinking that maybe, the God in Index-verse created this stone, and IB is a piece of it (piece, because obviously it's not powerful enough by itself yet, given how it takes time to erase extremely large or constantly regenerating supernatural phenomenon). God is a supernatural phenomenon, thus he cannot possibly lift the stone (IB) by himself, since it negates him and his powers.
