**Zenith Tempest**, also known as the **Prison of Bright Heavenly Thunder**, is a high-tier Longinus wielded by Dulio Gesualdo. It is ranked as the second strongest Longinus after True Longinus.

## **Summary**

One of the original thirteen Longinus created by the God from the Bible, Zenith Tempest is considered to be one of the biggest "bugs" in the Sacred Gear system, having world-class powers that could destroy the world when used in the wrong hands.

## **Abilities**

Zenith Tempest lets its user to manipulate the weather and elemental attributes that exists in nature, which grants them control over fire, wind, lightning, water, earth, and ice. Zenith Tempest can also be used to cause snowfall. Dulio's mastery of Zenith Tempest is abnormal, allowing him to control the weather inside of places where weather conditions do not exist, which allows him to even create artificial clouds such as thunderclouds or rain clouds in areas where clouds are non-existent. In Volume 18, he could create extremely powerful storms ranging from tornadoes and lightning, wiping out armies of mass-produced Evil Dragons and his Balance Breaker was powerful enough to compete with Crom Cruach; the Strongest Evil Dragon, who achieved power that surpassed Ddraig and Albion in their individual primes.

Zenith Tempest is capable of controlling the weather and climate on the scale of an entire country. It can also create an immense amount of bubbles sufficient enough to cover a country like Japan, or even beyond. These bubbles can simply be used to trap others, or alternatively contain varying effects such as stimulating the most precious memories of whoever they touch or inflicting divine punishment on them. Befitting both a high-tier Longinus and the second strongest Longinus, it has the potential to destroy the world.

### **Speranza Bolla di Sapone**

**Speranza Bolla di Sapone** (, *Superantsa Bora Di Sapōne*), also known as **Rainbow Colored Hope**, is a technique that Dulio created, the user makes a giant bubble by blowing through a circle formed by the user's hands which then explodes into smaller bubbles. Whosoever touches the bubbles remembers the things that are most important to them, resulting in them either losing the will to fight or clearing their mind. Although there can be those who are unaffected by this ability such as Issei and **Vasco**, probably due to them constantly thinking about the things they cherish the most in their lives.

## **Forms**

### **Flagello di Colori del Arcobaleno, Speranza di Briscola**

**Flagello di Colori del Arcobaleno, Speranza di Briscola** (、, *Furajero Di Korori Deru Arukobarēno, Superantsa Di Burisukora*), also known as the **Inevitable Punishment of the Holy Angel's Rainbow, Shining Star of the End**, is the subspecies Balance Breaker of Zenith Tempest. In this form, Dulio possesses twelve golden wings, and four halos above his head. Dulio creates countless bubbles, trapping his opponents within them. Dulio then controls the climate within these bubbles to attack those trapped within, creating intensely swirling flames, violent hurricanes, freezing cold air and vicious torrents of lightning.

## **Trivia**

* Zenith means "when something is most powerful or successful" and Tempest mean "a violent windy storm" so Zenith Tempest literally means "the most powerful/successful violent windy storm".
* Flagello di Colori del Arcobaleno, Speranza di Briscola means "Scourge of Colors of the Rainbow, Hope of Trump".
	+ Briscola is the name of a popular Italian card game so the meaning of "Trump" in this case is a reference to trump suit in the game which would refer to Dulio's nickname "The Trump Card of Heaven".
