God Power

**"I warned you..."**

This article contains **SPOILERS**!
It is **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** that you catch up with the comic or comic dubs in order to understand what is happening!

**God Power** is the name given to special abilities that the Sons of Heephis can tap into when they're in dire need of assistance, energy, or power to defeat their enemies. These abilities are brand new and exclusive to the three copies of the old gods, and are needed in order to defeat Zielo. Upon activating these powers and tapping into this energy, their eyes become pupil-less, glow gold, and their bodies become outlined in a soft golden hue. They can empower each other to activate their god powers by saying, "Rise" in what is a mixture of normal and god language.

### Universal Powers

These powers are shared by all three of the Sons of Heephis:

* **Energy transfer**
	+ **Sonic** -> **Silver**: Nutrients
	+ **Sonic** -> **Shadow**: Sleep
	+ **Silver** -> **Sonic**: Physical healing
	+ **Silver** -> **Shadow**: Energy transfer (may result in a blackout as seen in Issue 12)
	+ **Shadow** -> **Silver** and **Sonic**: Hope (see Ball of Hope)
* **Telepathy**/**Mind Reading**
	+ Can be blocked by Zielo
	+ Tainted energy can block the connection
* **Presence Sensing**
	+ Tainted energy can block their ability to sense one another
	+ Zielo can block this ability
* **Sharing their powers**
	+ There is a distinct difference in "borrowing/lending" each other's powers and outright "giving/stealing".
		- When consensually lent to assist each other in battle as in Issue 9: Gettin' To Know You, it is harmless to all three of them.
		- When there is no clear consent as in Issue 12: Tainted, it can be incredibly painful to the point of incapacitation.
	+ As seen in Issue 12: Tainted, the brothers can cut off each other's access to their powers by "rejecting" them.

## Holy Dagger/Sword

### Power Type

* Concentrated god/divine energy
* Metaphysical

### Effects

* Slices, stabs, and cuts anything and anyone in Sonic's way.

### Sonic's Dagger/Sword

Sonic has the ability to form a sharp ceremonial-designed dagger on his hands. This dagger can elongate to a more appropriate sword, giving him a longer range and deadlier attack speed.

The weapon itself is polygonal, glows with a heavenly golden light, and covered in faded runes of an unknown language. It is unknown if these runes are related to the god language, or if they are strictly for aesthetic reasons.

As seen in Issue 12 and Issue 14, this weapon can be deformed and turned into something horrific and tainted by Sonic depending on his energy. This version of his weapon has no runes, has turned black and corrupted, and glows with a volatile dark orange hue. It is just as if not sharper than the holier counterpart.

## Sonic's Telekinesis

### Power Type

* Psychic
* Force

### Sonic's Telekinesis

In Issue 7, Sonic is seen using this power to violently repel a stage 3 Soulless from his path. This is the only time we've seen him use this power, and it is unknown if this is a shared ability across the brothers.

## Energy Blasters/Firearms

### Power Type

* Metaphysical
* Concentrated god/divine energy

### Effects

* Blasts holes into enemies and targets
* Can obliterate foes at close range leaving nothing behind

### Energy Blasters/Firearms

Before chaos energy was permanently erased from their world in Issue 5, Shadow could manifest firearms (namely pistols) with his unlimited use of chaos energy. After the destruction of the chaos emeralds, Shadow found it difficult to adapt due to how frequently he relied on these weapons. Luckily, when he began to tap more into his god powers, he found that he could manifest much more powerful alternatives in the forms of energy blasters.

While similar to his 'spear cannons', his energy firearms are made up entirely of his god energy. They glow a bright magenta and can shoot beams of highly concentrated energy that can completely disable a soulless, and in some cases, outright obliterate foes without mercy.

## God-Spear

### Power Type

* Ethereal
* Volatile holy energy blasts

### Effects

* Instantly evaporates/incinerates targets within range

### God-Spears

In Issue 7, Shadow discovers that he's able to project highly concentrated beams of god energy when in battle. These beams of energy share the same colors as his firearms, though much more neon in saturation and do not have a physical form.

## Godblast

### Power Type

* Explosive
* Ethereal

### Effects

* Can decimate an area into nothing but ash
* Instantly destroys Soulless within range

### Godblast

When his emotions reach a boiling point, Shadow's energy can reach levels similar to that of a small bomb. This is his aptly named Godblast ability and it is one of his most powerful moves. His body glows in a much more deeper shade of reddish-pink, his eyes become fully colored in energy, cumulating into a massive explosion that leaves nothing but devastation in his wake.

## Holy/Enhanced Forcefield

### Combat style

* Offensive
* Defensive

### Power Type

* Etheral
* Psychokinetic

### Effects

* Prevents enemies from getting in range
* Shields himself and his brothers from attacks

### Enhanced Forcefield

When in distress, Silver can create a psychic forcefield to protect himself or his brothers. This forcefield cannot be entered by Soulless. The key difference between this forcefield and ones conjured by his psychokinesis, is the fact it can explode and stave off enemies.

## Ehanced Psychokinesis

### Combat style

* Offensive
* Defensive

### Effects

* Mainly used to put distance between him and the enemy
* Can freeze opponents (does not affect Zielo)

### Enhanced Psychokinesis

When his god powers are activated, Silver's psychokinesis can become not only a defense mechanic, but a real weapon as well.

His empowered psychic energy is powerful enough to grab and freeze multiple targets, pick up land masses such as Angel Island, and disintegrate multiple Soulless.

## God-Empowered Arrows

### Power Type

* Ethereal
* Psychokinetic (?)

### Arrows/Archery

Although not shown in the series as of yet, Gigi has revealed that Silver's offensive weapon are arrows. This fits him seeing as he prefers to fight from afar, opting to throw or fling enemies rather than kill them like his brothers.

## Tainted Energy

**Tainted energy** or **corrupt energy** is when god power becomes corrupted or tainted. When this happens, the energy can completely turn a being into their exact opposite. A good example of this is Tainted Sonic. Tainted energy is very unpredictable, blocks any form of mental clarity, blocks any input from uncorrupted beings, and is typically empowered by extreme flares of negative emotion.

## Trivia

* Sonics “dagger” is reminiscent of the weapon he uses in ***Sonic and the Black Knight***, Excalibur.
* Shadow's main weapon (his Spear Cannons pre-chaos energy being erased, and his energy guns post-chaos energy erasure) being firearms is a reference to the ***Shadow the Hedgehog*** game.
* In the 10 year anniversary image and confirmed by Gigi, Silver's god weapons are etheric arrows.
* All of the weapons they create are unique to them, as we have never seen the gods do anything similar. The gods may have had these powers, but the boys clearly seem to utilize the abilities to something more physically— a creative choice made to make the triple S different from the gods.
