Annihilation Maker

**Annihilation Maker**, also known as the **Demonic Beast Creation**, is the 3rd of the original Longinus. It has the power to manipulate shadows and create beasts and monsters alike.

## Summary

Annihilation Maker is the third of the original Longinus, exceptionally powerful Sacred Gears that have the potential to kill immortal gods and even destroy the world.

According to Azazel, almost all of the Longinus' wielders have revealed themselves to be mad scientists in one form or another, with many of the monsters they created with the Longinus still roaming the Earth and had made it into humanity's consciousness by integrating into myths and legends.

## Appearance

While Annihilation Maker doesn't have a physical form, when activated, the wielder's shadow expands to an immense size before the created beasts and monsters emerge from it in dark-purple ripples. Often, these creations take the form of black armored monsters with glowing red eyes.

## Abilities

In its most basic form, Annihilation Maker grants its wielder the power to create, shape, and manipulate shadows and darkness. They can turn darkness into tools, objects, weapons, and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures or buildings of varying permanence.

With the Longinus, the wielder can interact with shadows as if it were tangible, which allows them to mess with the shadow's caster by messing with their shadow. This range from pinning a target to a single place to prevent them from having mobility or escaping, to taking control over motor functions of others against their will, to inflicting tremendous damage to their opponent through their shadow, which may instantly kill the target or greatly destroy their body in the process.

The wielder can also create a field of absolute and impenetrable darkness that completely negates all senses and detecting abilities, and a further intensified version of it, enhanced with the wielder's life-force, can completely obliterate all objects in its path. Upon implementing this field, the wielder can harness the dark energy of Creation, drawing them straight from the cracks between the worlds.

Only when the wielder has mastered the Longinus' Darkness Manipulation would they gain access to its most well-known power: The creation of demonic beasts. With it, the wielder can create beasts, monsters, and other extraordinary creatures to serve them, ranging from a small companion such as cats or dogs to powerful monsters like dragons or sphinxes. Upon deciding which creature they want to create, the wielder's shadow will gradually grow larger and larger until the monsters begin to spawn out of it.

The wielder is capable of creating nearly all kinds of creatures, though they are restricted by their imagination, their own stamina, and the mental strain the creating process puts on them. They are also limited by logic, being incapable of creating any being that can surpass them in power or any being that they cannot comprehend.

## Techniques

### Creating Process

The creating process of Annihilation Maker goes as follow:

1. Shadows appear from under the wielder's feet.
2. The shadows grow to the appropriate size based on what the wielder's trying to create.
3. Parts of the shadow break off and the desired creatures come out of them.
4. The creatures act according to the wielder's will.

### Anti-Monsters

**Anti-Monsters** (抗獣鬼アンチ・モンスター, *Anchi Monsutā*) are special monsters that Leonardo del Vacca specializes in creating, which are monsters that have abilities that target the opponents' weaknesses and are highly resistant to the abilities of the species they are created against, Leonardo is currently capable of creating Anti-Monsters against devils, daemon, and dragons.

## Forms

### Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky

**Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky** (破滅の覇獣鬼バンダースナッチ・アンド・ジャバウォッキー, *Bandāsunatchi ando Jabawokkī*), also known as **Supreme Demonic Beasts of Ruin**, was the temporary Sub-Species Balance Breaker that Shalba Beelzebub forcibly awakened in Leonardo del Vacco. Following Shalba's death, his control over Leonardo disappeared and so did the Balance Breaker, possibly never appearing again.

It created twelve Anti-Monsters measured to be 150-meters tall called **Bandersnatches** (豪獣鬼バンダースナッチ, *Bandāsunatchi*) which could create smaller copies of themselves and were about God-class in terms of power, as well as one Anti-Monster measured to be 200-meters tall called the **Jabberwocky** (超獣鬼ジャバウォック, *Jabawokku*), which could create hundreds of smaller monsters, including the Bandersnatches, and was roughly low-tier Primordial-class in terms of raw destructive power.

## Trivia

* There is an unknown connection between it and the Mother of Monsters.
	+ According to Regulus, monsters called wielders of Annihilation Makers with the title "Mhysa", which means "Mother" in the Old Tongue.
* Due to Shalba forcibly awakening his Balance Breaker, there is a big chance that Leonardo would never be able to form his own Balance Breaker.
* "Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky", are references to Lewis Carroll's Alice series, Bandersnatch being a character from *Through the Looking Glass* and Jabberwocky being a reference to the eponymous poem.
