Delete Field

**Delete Field**, also known as the **Domain of Darkness**, is one of the Vritra's Sacred Gears. It has the power to nullify or suppress supernatural powers.

## Summary

Delete Field is among the numerous Sacred Gears created by the Biblical God before his death under the hands of the Four Great Satans in the Great War.

It is one of the four Sacred Gears which hold fragments of the soul and consciousness of the legendary Evil Dragon Vritra from Vedic mythology inside of them. It is unclear how and why the Biblical God managed to get his hands onto Vritra's soul, though Indra has stated that he and his pantheon does not have any intention to ever find out why.

Sometimes in the British Raj, Azazel began to collect Vritra's Sacred Gears in an attempt to decipher and understand the Sacred Gear system created by the Biblical God, though he only managed to collect three of them while the Absorption Line was lost to the Catholic Church. Later on, when the Three Factions signed the Kuoh Treaty, Azazel decided to implant the remaining Sacred Gears into Genshirou to satisfy his curiosity.

## Appearance

Delete Field has no physical appearance, though after it was extracted by the Grigori, it appeared as a hovering orb of purple light. When used in tandem with Absorption Line, it manifests as light-purple lightning that travels across the lines.

## Abilities

Delete Field has the ability to immediately cancel out the supernatural abilities of any item the wielder touches or any opponent the wielder makes physical contact with, and as such, allows them to nullify any ability even while being restrained as soon as it touches them. This is useful in a supportive role as it can protect the wielder from harmful attacks, and even possibly undo the simulating-passive alternation powers of an opponent, in turn making them powerless.

However, it cannot fully negate the powers of gods or divine beings, as their powers directly originated from the world itself, and would require the wielder to fully nullify all aspects of the world to cancel out their divine powers. Because of that, they can only suppress/weaken their divine opponent's powers for a limited amount of time before needing to reuse the Delete Field.

When combined with Blaze Black Flare and Shadow Prison, it can neutralize an opponent's ability to retaliate and render them helpless against its nullifying abilities.

According to Azazel, it is considered an anomaly of a Sacred Gear due to the low amount of magical power required to activate, and thus, can remain active at all times without any restrictions. Any attempt to cancel or seal away its power is virtually impossible, and he was only able to extract it from its previous owner by capturing their soul, and the Sacred Gear attached to it, as it left their body.

## Forms

### Malebolge Vritra Promotion

**Malebolge Vritra Promotion** (罪科の獄炎龍王マーレボルジェ・ヴリトラ・プロモーション, *Māreboruje Vuritora Puromōshon*), also known as the **Dragon King's Flame Prison of Guilt**, is Genshirou Saji's X-Side Balance Breaker of all four Vritra's Sacred Gears, Delete Field included.

It creates a black Scale Mail which strengthens Genshirou's physical and magical capabilities, while the Delete Field's power merges into one with his shadow, thus allowing him to nullify the powers of his opponents from afar by manipulating his shadow. In addition, its power has also been increased and he can now fully negate the power of the gods, and subsequently, the natural laws of the world itself.
