Able to stand up and fight on sheer willpower alone and can fight even with a missing arm)

**Range:** Standard Melee Range, Several Meters with Tortoise Ripple's air bullets.

**Standard Equipment:**

**Almighty Spaulders:** Qin’s Divine Weapon formed by his Völundr with the Valkyrie Alvitr, who entrusts her fate to Qin in order to bring out his full potential and create a weapon capable of harming the Gods. This takes the form of shoulder plated armour that extends to both of his arms. With Alvitr’s unique nature, the Spaulders are capable of high defensive power and maximise the full potential of Qin’s martial arts. These Spaulders can also redirect energy so long as Qin is able to withstand the force.

**Shi Huang Goujian Sword:** Using Alvitr’s full power, her Völundr can transform a sleeve from the Almighty Spaulders into the Shi Huang Goujian Sword, utilising offence as the greatest defence. This sword has shown the capability of being able to absorb and store power within Alvitr when combined with the Heavenly Hand of Defense.

**Zhijiatao:** Qin possesses five fingernail guards on his fingers, viewed as symbols of nobility and wealth in China, which he utilises in combat as piercing weapons. It compliments Qin’s Spear form in his Chi You martial arts.

**Blindfold:** A special blindfold made by Qin's adoptive mother Chun-Yen, which is able to suppress his Mirror Touch Synesthesia from harming himself, due to it blocking his eyesight. Despite this, Qin is able to fight expertly even while wearing this blindfold.

**Intelligence:** At least Gifted likely Higher (A smart and capable fighter, being able to unify China and outsmart Hades in several instances, even when at a power disadvantage)

**Weaknesses:** Due to his Mirror Touch Synesthesia being greatly amplified through his lifetime, Qin experiences the same pain his opponents feel when seeing them. Qin’s blindfold is worn to remedy this weakness, however this also covers his sight and forces him to fight blindfolded, without access to his Qi Sight. Due to the Völundr technique intertwining their fates, Qin will also die if his Divine Weapon forged by Alvitr at the time is completely destroyed.
