The Infinity Blade

The Infinity Blade is a weapon, the main catalyst, and titular namesake of the Infinity Blade trilogy, appearing in Infinity Blade I, Infinity Blade II, Infinity Blade III, and both books Infinity Blade: Awakening and Infinity Blade: Redemption.
==Description==
The Infinity Blade was created by the Worker of Secrets as the sole device that could permanently kill the Deathless. When used as piercing weapon to stab someone, it destabilises their Quantum Identity Pattern, granting them a "true death". Having also facilitated the creation of the Deathless race, the Worker of Secrets' creation of the Infinity Blade emerged as a critical weakness to their dominion and immortality, such that it would become a contested artifact of significant value, whose possessor would pose a risk to all other Deathless in a way that nothing else prior would have been capable of.
==Appearance==
The Infinity Blade begins with a small metallic section that seems to be integrated with some form of circuitry. There is a hole in the center, surrounded by two small blue embellishments, as well as one larger metallic embellishment.
Beyond this section is the hand-held area of the hilt, which seems to be wrapped with a dark fabric. There are several evenly spaced rhombus-shaped areas not covered by this wrap, however.
Farther down the length of the blade is the prominent opening, which is intricately decorated. It is tapered at four points on the exterior. There is also a large purple gem, possibly an amethyst. Within this segment of the sword begins the blade.
The blade itself features a brown inner section imbued with the same form of circuitry seen on the bottom section of the hilt. Surrounding that section is the edge of the blade. Being a double-edged sword, this edge extends to both sides.
At first, the blade widens until it surmounts in width approximately ten inches from the hilt. At that point, it slowly becomes narrower until the tip of the blade is reached. There are three holes of various size in one section, and three more of a much smaller size closer to the end.
There were some design changes from IB1 to IB2; the color of the side of the Blade is different and appears to be laced with circuitry, and has a gold-like section in the middle, possibly referencing the blade being fully-activated.. The Blade has a blue hit arc even though it is one of the non-elemental swords (which usually have a red-orange hit arc).
If observed closely enough it appears the Infinity Blade is made of two parts - the hilt and the actual blade.
==History==
===Early history===
The Worker of Secrets supplied the Infinity Blade to Ausar the Vile, a Deathless warlord who was among the most skilled in combat, and tyrannically ruled over the wider region in allegiance to the Worker. Ausar would go on to betray the Worker, imprisoning him in the Vault of Tears, which allowed Ausar freer reign as perhaps the most powerful Deathless in the world. Despite this, under mysterious circumstances, he lost in battle to Raidriar, the God King, on the Plains of Koroth, with Raidriar then taking possession of the Infinity Blade.
===Infinity Blade I===
:For the weapon in Infinity Blade I, see The Infinity Blade.
The God King used the Infinity Blade to repeatedly kill the apparent descendants of the First Ancestor, whose bloodline was understood to empower the Infinity Blade with each kill, absorbing the slain's "essence". When the God King lost in battle to one of the descendants (Siris), he was disarmed of the Infinity Blade and pierced using it. As one of the most ancient Deathless, it did not permanently kill the God King by destabilizing his Quantum Identity Pattern, but at this point was "activated" in such a way that it would now be capable of permanently killing mature Deathless. Siris took possession of the Infinity Blade, and upon discovering in the God King's dungeon an obelisk with an inset mould of the Infinity Blade, he inserted it, unlocking the soul cells of three Deathless prisoners. After permanently killing each of them using the Infinity Blade, he discovered the God King's rebirth chamber where he also killed Archarin, who sought to defeat Siris and recover the Infinity Blade to return to the God King once he was rebirthed, with whom he chose to ally himself.
===Infinity Blade: Awakening===
===Infinity Blade II===

Siris seeked to learn of the whereabouts of the Worker of Secrets, visiting Saydhi's Estate to gain information from the Deathless Saydhi who is an information dealer. After battling his way to her, he asked where he might find the Worker. After telling him, she challenged him to battle, losing and having her neck slashed with the Infinity Blade. Siris then noticed another obelisk allowing for the Infinity Blade to be fitted within an inset. He placed it inside, only for it to descend into the floor, with Raidriar appearing behind him with his bodyguard The Dark Knight. Raidriar remarked that he thought Siris might "fall for that", as Siris had already slotted the Infinity Blade into the obelisk in his dungeon, and Raidriar also expected that Saydhi would take the Infinity Blade for herself, Siris doing him a "favor" by killing her. Behind Raidriar, his bodyguard presented him with the Infinity Blade, with Siris insisting that he be given a sword so that he might once again battle Raidriar. Raidriar rejected his request, with the intention to dishonourably kill his unarmed opponent using the Infinity Blade, having realised that Siris is in fact Ausar the Vile. Before he could attack him, Isa headshot Siris using her crossbow, preventing Raidriar from being able to permanently kill him using the Infinity Blade.
Years later, at the instruction of the Worker of Secrets, Siris returned to Saydhi's Estate so that Raidriar might find him, and upon defeating him, Siris could deliver Raidriar into the Vault of Secrets to switch his place with the Worker of Secrets within the soul cell that he was entrapped. Raidriar did appear and commanded some minions to fight Siris, remarking that they should leave the killing blow for "my blade", him still possessing the Infinity Blade. Siris defeated each of his minions and then once again defeated Raidriar in battle. Raidriar expected to be killed, but Siris instead violently stunned him using the pommel of the blade to bludgeon him on the head. Left concussed, Raidriar was delivered to the Vault of Tears, Siris now intent to release the Worker. He placeed the Infinity Blade in the central seal, and the Worker joined him in grasping the hilt, with the Infinity Blade then releasing a surge of energy that launched Siris away. The Worker revealed his deception and plan to escape, and that it was Siris/Ausar who imprisoned him in the first place, then leaving both Siris and Raidriar in the Vault of Tears and taking the Infinity Blade for himself.

Raidriar - with possession of the Infinity Blade - traveled to the Ark to confront the Worker of Secrets. After being forced to fight a minion, Raidriar was then forced to fight Ashimar, an old acquaintance of his. Reluctantly, Raidriar defeated Ashimar, killing him permanently, who additionally had revealed another replicated Infinity Blade, one of a more technological design. Taking it, Raidriar asked the Worker "Why?", with the Worker responding "To occupy them (the Deathless), and to make certain I could replicate it". The Worker also enquired "You really think I would build a weapon that could destroy me?". Raidriar retorted about how the Worker was trapped in a prison for a thousand years, angering the Worker, leading him to summon the replicated Infinity Blade and fall onto Raidriar in attack. Raidriar defended himself briefly, but was overpowered by the Worker, who held the replicated Infinity Blade to his neck. Seeking to have Raidriar serve beneath him as part of his plan to cleanse the planet, the Worker stepped back from him and prompted Raidriar to beg him to let him live. Sensing an opportunity, Raidriar acknowledged that he could not defeat the Worker, but "knows who can", and reached for the datapod left at the Worker's throne bench and teleported it away, that Siris then might locate it and use its information against the Worker. Enraged, the Worker stabbed Raidriar using the replicated Infinity Blade, killing him permanently.
The original Infinity Blade at some point was transferred to the vault in the Seccian Desert, whose keys are an assortment of six new Infinity Weapons. The replicated Infinity Blade remained with the Worker of Secrets, who had distributed four other Infinity Weapons to other Deathless. The Infinity Cleaver was supplied to Soulless Raidriar, who had replaced the real Raidriar at his stronghold in Larioth. Siris defeated him, gaining possession of the Infinity Cleaver. The Infinity Swords were supplied to Oslim, who was defeated at the older section of the Metius Observatory, the weapons going to Siris to use. The Infinity Spear was supplied to Therin, who Siris defeated at the Pit and also claimed the weapon, passing it to Isa to use. The Infinity Daggers were supplied to Lelindre, who Isa battled and was unable to defeat, but Lelindre spared her after sensing that she had only recently been made Deathless, and provided her with the Infinity Daggers. The Infinity Edge was also discovered, going to Isa to use. Once Siris and Isa had identified the location of the Ark, they traveled there to confront the Worker, who battled Siris using the replicated Infinity Blade, while Siris used the Infinity Cleaver. The Worker fought formidably using the replicated Infinity Blade in multiple fighting styles, with Siris managing to knock him back twice, but was ultimately disarmed by the Worker, the Infinity Cleaver falling from the suspended metal bridge where the two fought, and Isa who was nearby unable to grab it in time. Grabbing him by the throat, the Worker lifted Siris into the air, remarking "I made this world. I will un-make the world as I please, just like I will un-make you", brandishing the replicated Infinity Blade with it pulsing to the imminent attack. As the Worker went to stab Siris, he ducked below the Worker's arm, free from his grapple and to the side of his strike, then grasping the replicated Infinity Blade and twisting the Worker's strike to force it back onto himself, stabbing him not unlike the way Siris did with Raidriar previously. This weakened the Worker, slowly falling backwards, but it was unable to kill him, with him smirking and remarking "I created this blade. Did you really think it could kill me?". The Worker attempted to stand again, but Siris shoved him back, telling him "I never believed it would kill you". Siris then revealed the Redeemer, saying "But I do believe in redemption", and inserted it into the hilt of the replicated Infinity Blade, the Worker relenting after immediately realising what the device was. The Worker was engulfed by a blue orb of energy, leaving the replicated Infinity Blade wedged into the metal bridge.
At a later time, the Infinity Weapons remaining at the Ark were recovered and used to unlock the vault in the Seccian Desert, allowing the original Infinity Blade to be retrieved.
