Divine Metal

**Divine Metal**, also known as **Enochian Metal**, is a term used to refer to the special metals mined in the Fourth Heaven by the angels and are used to create Enochian weapons.

## Summary

Divine metals are special metals that can only be found in the Garden of Eden on the Fourth Heaven, and can only be mined and refined by the Principalities using the heat generated in the heart of dying stars. They are mainly used to forge the weapons and armors of the heavenly hosts, as well as other artifacts, devices, and technology used throughout Heaven.

Because of the chaotic nature of the Great War, being fought all across time and space, and across all alternate realities and realms and dimensions of various timelines, countless weapons and artifacts made of divine metals have been lost and fallen throughout Creation.

While a large number of these lost weapons and artifacts were later collected by Heaven, the majority of them have already been collected by various pantheons and mythological factions and were given to the leaders and/or high-ranked officers within their respective faction, or melted down and forged into new weapons and artifacts.

According to Thor, all of the principal gods' symbols of power, such as his Mjölnir, Odin's Gungnir, or Frey's special sword, also contain scraps and fragments of divine metals used in their creation. However, due to the low amount of divine metals within them, they cannot be counted as true Enochian weapons.

## Abilities

Divine metals are the most powerful metals in existence, known for its immense deadly nature, as it could defeat and kill virtually any being, mortals and immortals alike. The weapons crafted from divine metals are also some of the only ways to destroy the corporeal form of the children of God, such as angels, fallen angels, and demons, and banish their essence into the Empty.

Some of their most notorious characteristics included their rarity and exclusivity. Items crafted from them are mainly used by celestial beings, whose angelic power allows them to most effectively wield these elusive items. However, this doesn't mean a non-celestial is incapable of wielding them, just means that it'd require more effort to do it. After acquiring an item crafted from divine metals, the next obstacle is to be able to actually equip and wield it, as to do so, they must meet at least one of these criterias: Possessing immense physical strength, be immensely strong-willed, or be deemed "worthy" in the eyes of "the Highest of High", i.e. God and His Divine Aeons.

Divine metals are extremely durable and are resilient to virtually all forms of damage, even though they aren't indestructible as high-ranked angels and demons have shown the power to bend and destroy Enochian weapons with no shown consequences. In addition, as a direct result of their immense durability, they are also extremely immalleable metals and require extreme methods to forge it.

They can absorb the vibratory or kinetic energy from physical blows or projectiles, though how the absorbed energy may be used varies between different types of divine metals. It can be used to fortify and strengthen the molecular bondage of the item, increasing its durability with additional absorbed energy. And as a result, the divine metals that have absorbed a considerable amount of vibratory energy would be exceedingly durable and nearly impossible to damage, let alone destroy. If enough force is applied to the charged metal to actually destroy it, it would result in a violent explosion, amplifying and releasing much of the absorbed energy within its local radius.

Additionally, the absorbed energy can also be channeled through an item crafted from divine metal to charge its attack, increase the damage that is dealt, or blast out from the item as powerful beams/blasts of energy. Once it has reached its absolute limits, a built-up shockwave of force can be released from it, which can be devastating enough to destroy entire cities to even an entire country, depending on the amount of absorbed energy.

Divine metals also have a natural affinity toward magic. While it's not easy to enchant them as the enchanting process can only be done by expert enchanters with decades of experience minimum, it's extremely easy for the metals to absorb magical power like a sponge, redirect magical attacks, and enhance one's natural magic origins. It also forms a pseudo-symbiotic relationship between the item and the wielder's magical signature, allowing the wielder to gradually empower the item with their own strength, making it stronger and more resilient.

## Enochian Weapons

**Enochian Weapons** (原始武装, *Genshi Busō*) is the term used to refer to all weapons made from divine metals or contain a certain amount of divine metals within them. Due to the special nature of the metals, Enochian weapons possess the power to cause more than physical interference as they execute a certain built-in "concept", an imbued predetermined phenomenon within them.

There are a variety of concepts that they can enforce, including "negation of immortality with the concept of a natural life", "severing and binding", and "absolute defense against thrown weapons". Some weapons are made to directly crush the target's soul with a concept or to replace certain characteristics of the soul with a concept. Incorporeal beings such as manifestations of laws or delusions are unable to be affected by physical interference, but Enochian weapons can damage them, as beings born from concepts can only be killed by concepts.

## Trivia

* Despite being called weapons, the term "Enochian Weapons" is used to refer to all items created from divine metals, from armors to shields to accessories.
* There exist several spells that also practically function as "phone passwords", preventing anyone but the caster from lifting their Enochian weapon, even if they meet all three required criterias.
* Despite their names and appearance, according to Azazel, the differences between different types of divine metals are mostly in-named only, as the truly important part that differentiate one metal from another is how a crafter uses them in a project.
