Annihilation Maker

**Annihilation Maker**, also known as **Demonic Beast Creation**, is the 3rd Longinus Sacred Gear. It is currently wielded by Leonardo, a member of the Hero Faction.

## Summary

Annihilation Maker is ranked as number 3rd among the Longinus, exceptionally powerful Sacred Gears that can potentially kill gods and destroy the world. It is known as one of the "Longinus Triad of Absolute Creation", alongside Innovate Clear and Sephiroth Graal.

One of its earliest recorded users is Ekhidna Drakhrys, the only daughter of Deukalion and Pyrrha Drakhrys who were Edenith magicians who managed to survive the great flood through unknown means and escaped to Earth eons ago.

She married the giant Typhon and settled down in the ancient Greek region of Pytho. As a result of pushing the Annihilation Maker's limitations far too many times, Ekhidna suffered from infertility and had once again turned to her Longinus to find a result. This result turned out to be the creation of several legendary monsters, such as the Nemean Lion, Cerberus, Orthrus, or the Chimera, all of which would later become Alphas and progenitors of an entire race of lesser monsters.

Its newest user is Leonardo, true name **Konrad Dippel**, descendant of the German alchemist and occultist Johann Konrad Dippel who serves as inspiration behind the character of Victor Frankenstein, and a member of the Hero Faction.

## Appearance

While Annihilation Maker doesn't have a physical form, the monsters it creates take the shape of black humanoid creatures with various features, with the special anti-monsters take the form of humanoid beings with a single glowing red eye, which can discharge light beams from it.

## Abilities

Annihilation Maker grants the user the ability to create an assortment of creatures, often monsters, from their shadows and based on their imagination. Because of this, these beings can either be completely unique/original, modified/evolved versions of pre-existing ones or simply normal beings without any major modifications.

Regardless of their origins, however, these monsters are extremely powerful, as the more powerful the user's imagination, the more powerful the creature is upon its creation, and are described to be capable of trampling upon a small country in a smatter of hours.

They can also create, shape, and manipulate darkness and shadows. They can turn darkness into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence and tangibility. They can also create a field of absolute impenetrable darkness that completely negates all senses and detecting abilities, and even a further intensified version that can completely obliterate objects in its path.

Through their umbrakinetic powers, they can create, shape and manipulate dark energy, usually drawn from inter-dimensional or other similar sources. It can be channeled to a variety of effects as an absence of light, a solid, gaseous and/or liquid substance that can be shaped/manifested in various ways. It is said to be focused on direct, destructive and violently outward directed aspects of the spectrum.

These aren't its only powers, however, as its true power is to grant the user the ability to manipulate life on a cellular level, including but not limited to, genetic alterations and physical distortion and/or augmentations of biological functions. They can cause cells to augment to induce advanced or declined biological healing, induce and cure diseases like cancer, induce appearance alteration, manipulate pheromones, and even increase physiological maturity.

They can transmute organic matter (i.e. living beings or non-sentient biomass) into different forms, allowing them to freely alternate sentient creatures through the implementation of indirect DNA editing by splicing alternate atomic building blocks into the core structure and physiological being at will.

They can also cause and manipulate mutations, changes in the sequence of an organism's genetic material, in self or other living beings. They can also manipulate the evolution of species and individuals, including themselves, advancing or decreasing evolutionary steps, shifting their adaptations/abilities to create new species, etc. They are even able to grant superpowers, especially those related to expanding the normal abilities of the species, removing the existing powers or granting the species a potential to gain powers.

## Techniques

### Creation Process

The process of creating these creatures goes as follow:

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

### Anti-Monsters

Anti-monsters are a special type of monsters that Leonardo specializes in creating, which are monsters that have abilities that target the opponents' weaknesses. They are shown to be highly resistant to the abilities of the races they are created for, as shown when the Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky were unaffected by demonic power during the Evil Beast Riot. Leonardo is currently capable of creating anti-monsters for devils, daimons, 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**, is a temporarily Sub-Species Balance Breaker which Shalba Beelzebub forcibly awakened in Leonardo. This created twelve anti-monsters measured to be 150-meters tall named **Bandersnatch**, which could create smaller copies of itself, and one anti-monster measured to be 200-meters tall named the **Jabberwocky**, which are additionally capable of creating hundreds of smaller monsters. Following Shalba's death and ending his control over Leonardo, this Balance Breaker disappeared and presumed to possibly never appear again.

## Weaknesses

According to Regulus, overusing the Longinus will cause immense and irreversible damage onto the user's reproductive organs and induce infertility. This is uncurable by any elixir or Healing Magic and can only be cured using the Sephiroth Graal.

## Trivia

* Because of its biokinetic powers, it can be considered a lesser version of the Sephiroth Graal.
	+ According to Azazel, the biggest difference between the two Longinus is that while Annihilation Maker can manipulate the physical/biological properties of a living being, the Sephiroth Graal can manipulate both the physical *and* spiritual aspects and properties of any being, living or dead, mortal or immortal.
* All monster species descended from Ekhidna's monster broods tend to call users of Annihilation Maker *Mhysa*, or "mother" in their common language.
* 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.
