Meteor

**Meteor** is the name of the sword forged by Lin Wei for Zuo Tian Cheng.

## Description

Meteor has a massive size, ressembling those of the bastard swords, with a long and thin handle covered in white bandages and an irregular edge. The sword's blade has a deep black color and its edge has a deep red tone. The resemblance with the Final Fantasy Buster Sword is obvious.

The sword was created using a titanium alloy with some other metals as support. This way its durability and hardeness were maximizated. Moreover, Tian Cheng gave Lin Wei a Meteorite Fragment to melt with the material in order to take the sword to new levels.

## Background

After meeting Lin Wei and accepting her into his group, Tian Cheng put the condition that she would have to forge him a weapon. This project was on stanby due the attack of the zombie horde over Long Hua City. However, during the events of **Hunting the Leader Arc,** Lin Wei was able to set up a little workshop using the resources of the Zhao Family and started the work.

## Abilities

### **General Traits**

The sword posses a superb quality and edge, being able to cut through the flesh and bone of a giant Level 4 Mutant Leader.

Due to its enormous size, the sword can also be used as a shield. Although it can't cover the entirety of Tian Cheng's body, its great toughness can repel most attacks. Furthermore, Tian Cheng Tactical Mindset permit him to know which attacks needs to be blocked, allowing him to dodge all the others and thus greatly reducing the risk of overstraining his sword.

As it have been forged using an Abola Meteorite Fragment, the sword possess a high concentration of viral energy. Tian Cheng describes this energy as very strong and overbearing.

### **Special Traits**

**Meteor Resonance -** Tian Cheng absorbed and fused with Meteor viral energy in his **Spiritual Space** when he was in **Deep Sleep**. It created a resonance between his powers and Meteor's viral energy, making the blade almost alive and allowing Tian Cheng to fuse his abilities with it.

   **Energy Control -** As seen in his fights against Hu Feng, the first Dark Demon and the Infected Plant Matriarch, Tian Cheng can use his **Energy Control** to let his Viral Energy flows in Meteor.

Apart from greatly rising the strength of its attacks, it increase the reach of the blade and allow Tian Cheng to perform mid ranged attacks with area of effect. Tian Cheng can also compress his energy into the blade and release all of it in one single attack. This attack is extremely powerful, able to slice through the scales of a Stage 4 Dark Demon and mortally wound a Stage 5 Infected Plant Matriarch, but is of course extremely costly, draining almost all his energy in a few swings.

It's only thanks to the Meteorite Crystal Polymer that this attack is usable in combat since Tian Cheng would be overwhelmed by the remaining ennemies after using everything on it, a scenario which almost happened when he was ambushed by the Infected Plant Matriarch.

**Armor Shift -** Due to its resonance with Tian Cheng powers, Meteor can fuse with the armor produced by the Fallen Strengthened Body. This greatly increase the explosiveness and penetrative power of the blade. Tian Cheng notes that with this ability he will be able to kill Dark Demons in the future without using his Energy Control.

**Energy Charging** - When it was upgraded by Tian Chen. It can absorb and charge from itself and its owner's energy.

**Anti-Regeneration** - When it slash whose regenerate ability, they can't heal to slashed places.

## Trivia

* The first weapon Lin Wei created using Viral Energy and Meteorite Fragment, and, according to her, her best work so far.
* The balance between the energies of the sword, the Eyeball Leader's Coagulated Meteorite Fragment and the Colossus Leader's Coagulated Meteorite Fragment were the reason why Tian Cheng reverted back from his Fallen One form.
* Tian Cheng is the one who came up with this name when Lin Wei decided her work required one. The sword thus narrowly escaped Lansha and Fei's proposals (Dragon Slayer, Blood-Thirster, Divine Emperor's Judgment, Tsunami's Wrath, Heaven's Moon) of Chapter 183.
* Since Lin Wei followed Tian Cheng's blueprints to forge Meteor, it's highly probable that he reproduced the weapon he was the most familiar with before his reincarnation. However, it is unlikely that the alter ego he owned possessed even half of Meteor's power, since in the Alternative Future he never acquired a Meteorite Fragment, and, as the Weapon Smith, Lin Wei was too renowned to deal with every Evolvers requests.
