Flaming Sword

Creation Slicing

"You know that if you had possessed the Flaming Sword, the weapon that guarded Eden, the weapon that can cut through anything, even the Gates of Heaven itself, well, you would've won that rebellion."

-Goddess to Lucifer

"You could have ended it all that day, you had the blade given to you, you had it to my neck- even now you could've killed me with it, and I would have never returned. Yet, why didn't you?"

-Weldrok to Lucifer

The Flaming Sword is a phenomenally powerful divine weapon. God split the sword into three pieces during Lucifer's rebellion. The Flaming Sword is the most powerful weapon in Creation. The Flaming Sword is an omnipotent godly weapon, powerful enough that it can kill or eradicate any being inside or out of Creation, including gods, demons, celestials, angels, and other abstract entities. Humans, due to having a completely different essence, are simply killed by it, not eradicated. The weapon has the power to cut through virtually anything, including, as proven by Lucifer, the fabric of Creation.

One of the pieces became known as Azrael's Blade or the Blade of Death. It was wielded by Azrael, the Angel of Death, and is capable of eradication. Another piece, the Medallion of Life, was left on Earth. It was found by Earl Johnson and is capable of healing and grants divine knowledge. The third piece, the key, binds the parts together. It was left in the possession of 'God's Favorite Son' and was discovered to be the necklace hanging from Amenadiel.

When all of the pieces are combined, the flaming sword's flames will extend to the size and shape of an entire sword's length. The Flaming Sword is also a known weapon in the Christian Bible. However, it was not broken up, until after the rebellion in Hell, where it was considered to kill Weldrok with it (which is one of the few things that can permanently destroy him)- but was decided to have it simply broken apart and scattered in different outerverses.

## History

The sword was personally designed with the absolute power of destruction and nothingness by God and the Goddess, to act as the barrier and weapon that would guard Eden, which at the time was the original blueprint for all of Creation, Outerverses, Universes, Worlds and Dimensions. The Flaming Sword is the weapon that guarded Eden. However, during Lucifer's rebellion, God split the sword into three pieces, thinking that Lucifer would use it against him- but during the war in Hell, the blade was temporarily reformed as a way of defeating Weldrok, but wasn't used to kill him- as Michael took away the blade back to God to be broken apart again. Most, including Lucifer, believed the weapon to be destroyed.

The blade became Azrael's, one of Lucifer and Uriel's sisters. Before Uriel came to Earth, he stole his sister's blade. He intended to use it to permanently kill their mother. However, after battling against Lucifer and Maze, he was killed by Lucifer using the blade. Goddess angers Lucifer with the blade in his hands and Goddess spotted it sparking some flame. Goddess revealed that the blade was actually the Flaming Sword that Lucifer had believed was destroyed. Goddess said that the sword can cut through anything, even the Gates of Heaven and that Lucifer would have won during his rebellion if he had possessed the blade. It was revealed that Azrael's blade is only one of the pieces of the Flaming Sword. Another piece was accidentally found by Earl Johnson, a human, in a Navajo gift shop. It grants the holder divine knowledge, immunity, and healing abilities.

From an ancient text written in Sumerian, Amenadiel learns that God separated the blade into three pieces which are: Azrael's Blade "The Blade of Death", Johnson's Belt Buckle "The Medallion of Life", and the third piece is the key that binds the parts together and was entrusted to God's Favorite Son. Amenadiel initially thought that the ring Lucifer always wore was that key since he believed Lucifer to be God's Favorite Son, but while the two were squabbling, Lucifer noticed that the ornament Amenadiel was wearing around his neck was floating towards the sword. Lucifer assembled all of the pieces and the Flaming Sword revealed its true form as a large sword of fire. Lucifer refused to use the sword to return Goddess to Heaven as war would break out and many angels would die. Instead, Lucifer used the sword to open a tear in the Creation into a void and asked Goddess to go through and create a new universe for herself. Not wanting the death that would come from the war, Goddess left Charlotte's body and went through the tear. Lucifer then removed the key from the sword and tossed its other pieces through the tear into the void before the rift closed.

Lucifer returned Amenadiel's necklace to him. But unknown to everyone, Zuriel (one of Lucifer's younger brothers) had reconstructed the weapon in an attempt to cleanse Creation of Lucifer, as he saw him the greatest threat, especially since he had reformed the Council of Hell, believing he could commence another attack on Heaven. However, he was soon killed by Lucifer using the blade causing him to die- until it was used again, this time to kill the Goddess of Creation (one of the two creators of the blade and Creation), it is unknown where it is now: but it is believed Lucifer took it when he left Creation.

## Powers

The powers of Azrael's Blade include:

* **Eradication / Total Destruction:** While humans are simply killed by the blade, if celestial beings (demons, angels, and gods) are killed by Azrael's Blade, their very essence would be wiped out of existence, completely eradicating them from reality- with this blade you could kill anything in Creation, even God, goddess, Lucifer, Michael, Weldrok and anything else.
* **Enticement:** It holds the power to beckon to the one holding the blade to fulfill its purpose: murder. Celestial beings have the strength to resist its call, but most humans are not quite as capable; it would take someone with immense willpower to fight off the blade's seduction.
* **Pyrokinesis:** The blade can ignite, although this capability is severely reduced due to not being in its true form. When Lucifer held the blade while angry and feeling intense emotional pain.
* **Extreme Sharpness:** Even in the hands of Dan, a human, it was able to easily cut through stone- but is able to cut through anything.

The medallion's powers include:

* **Divine Knowledge / Nigh-Omniscience:** Since humans are not meant to wield it, it takes over the mind of the human possessing it and give them temporary awareness of the divine and the memories God had at the time of the object's creation.
	+ This partial memory only stretches back to a time prior to Lucifer's rebellion as Earl Johnson had the ability to recognize Lucifer without introduction by calling him Samael, yet lacks memories of Lucifer's rebellion and of Goddess's banishment to Hell.
* **Immunity:** It gives the holder certain immunity, e.g. from drugs. It will also shield its mortal wielder from Lucifer's gift to compel the truth out of people.
* **Healing:** It gives the holder the power to heal people from grave injures.

The Key's powers include:

* **Levitation:** The key is drawn towards the Sword and will levitate towards and point to other two pieces while in close proximity to the other two pieces.

Combined, the Flaming Sword has the additional powers:

* **Dimensional Slicing:** The Sword can cut through time and space as well as Creation itself, creating a portal through all of Creation, through all the universes, multiverses, and outerverses.
* **Absolute Sharpness:** When complete, it is said to be able to cut through anything, even the Gates of Heaven, and was seen to be able to cut through the very fabric of space.

## Trivia

* Lucifer could ignite Azrael's blade by allowing himself to feel the emotional pain he was avoiding.
