**Incinerate Anthem**, also known as the **Chief Mourner's Crucified Stand of Purple Flame**, is the 9th Longinus Sacred Gear. It is currently wielded by Rhaenyra Vaelarys, a former exorcist of the Vatican and member of Gabriel's Brave Saints.

## Summary

Incinerate Anthem is ranked as number 9th among the Longinus, exceptionally powerful Sacred Gears that can potentially kill gods and destroy the world.

It is considered to be one of the **Holy Relics**, alongside the True Longinus (**Holy Spear**), Sephiroth Graal (**Holy Grail**), Alphecca Tyrant (**Holy Nail**), and Consus Mantle (**Shroud of Turin**), as the "**Holy Cross**" on which Jesus Christ was crucified.

It is an Independent Avatar-type Sacred Gear that can take on the form of whatever object/being it is bound to and can be transferred to another user of its own will even if the current user hasn't died, unlike other Sacred Gears. According to Azazel, it doesn't need a host to operate, which is similar to Regulus Nemea in the present era.

Its most famous user is Sir Kay, one of the first knights of the Round Table and the foster brother of King Arthur. His mastery over the Longinus is said to be so immense that he was one of the first people to ever unlock their Balance Breaker. According to Azazel, it is because of him that the reputation of the Incinerate Anthem got spread all across the supernatural world, especially after he used it to slay the last of the Fomorians in Ireland.

Not much is known about its other users, though two of them have been identified as an unnamed king of Atlantis and an unnamed rishika who lived during the British Raj. In the early 1900s, the last "true" wielder of Incinerate Anthem - Octavia a 10-years-old girl who lived in Rome - was assassinated and her Longinus was taken away by an unknown magician presumed lost because of its unique aspect.

Years later, it was revealed the one behind the assassination was the then head of Hexennacht, Augustus Belgrave, who attempted to use it as an energy core for his plan to take over old home-realm of Misthaven, one of the numerous pocket-realms within Faerieland. His plans, however, were stopped when he was killed by team Slash/Dog and the Longinus was taken by his apprentice/adopted daughter, Walburga Belgrave, who also took over as head of the Hexennacht Faction.

During the Second Salem Witch Trials, Walburga and Hexennacht fought against Team D×D but ultimately lost. As she tried to pull a suicide-bombing using the Incinerate Anthem as her last attempt of revenge, the Longinus reacted and instead paralyzed her before disappeared, leaving its previous user behind covered in burnt marks, alive but in a critical and extremely painful state.

Later, it was revealed that the Longinus has reappeared in Rhaenyra Vaelarys, the reincarnation of its last true user.

## Abilities

Incinerate Anthem appears as a giant cross shrouded in purple flames, which is roughly 10-meter in height. When an object/being is bound to the flaming cross, the fire will quickly burn them to the point where no ashes remain and slowly morph into a giant version of that object/being.

It can also turn into a cloak of purple fire shrouding over the user's body for additional defense.

## Abilities

Incinerate Anthem grants its user immense pyrokinetic powers, allowing them to create, shape, control, generate and manipulate every form/type of fire, as well as having an absolute control of the temperature of the fire at will. They can also turn the fire into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence.

Its most well-known ability is to generate, shape and control large amounts of powerful purple-colored holy flames, which are especially effective against demonic creatures and other evil beings. As opposed to regular fire or special ones created with magic, these purple flames are indistinguishable and absolute, and as such, they can cause natural and supernatural fire effects such as crown wildfires, firestorms, solar flares, hypernovas and heatwaves to manifest, as well as controlling flames that possess heat that go beyond Planck Level and defy the very laws of hyper-thermodynamics.

Because of this, it allows its user to burn anything, even non-flammable, incorporeal, or conceptual things such as time and nonexistence. They also have the ability to manipulate the underlying foundation of the concept of fire and concepts associated with it, such as passion and charisma. Those who are immune to fire and/or heat are also not protected from these flames as they will be completely bypassed due to its sheer potency and divine nature.

While these flames can burn for eternity and can only extinguish itself if the user, or the following user, wishes to, it can still be put out with two kinds of special water: One can be collected from the rivers running through the heart of the Fourth Heaven, while the other can only be collected from the heart of the Circle of Envy within the Abrahamic Underworld.

In addition, because of its status as a holy relic, it can also be used to influence and manipulate the mind of followers of the Abrahamic religions, especially Christians, and if anyone who tries to resist or rebel will have their mind destroyed and fall into a permanent vegetative state.

## Techniques

### Fire Giant

Augustus possessed the ability to manifest a 100-meter tall giant made out of purple flames to aid him in battle. The giant was powerful enough to fight equally agagainst Lavinia Reni's Ice Princess, and could use the physical manifestation of the Incinerate Anthem as a club during close-quarter combat, as well as a long-ranged weapon by launching fireballs other pyrokinetic artillery at opponents.

He seemed to required these chants to manifest the giant:

## Forms

### Incinerate Antiphona Calvario

**Incinerate Antiphona Calvario** (最終審判者による覇焔の裁きインシネレート・アンティフォナ・カルヴァリオ, *Inshinerēto Antifona Karuvario*), also known as the **Blazing Verdict by the Final Judge**, is Walburga Belgrave's Sub-Species Balance Breaker. It has the ability to manifest different forms depending on the souls that she uses. The forms are able to move independently from her and act like an independent-avatar type.

* She used half of the soul of the legendary evil dragon Yamata no Orochi in her fight against D×D. It took the form of a 200-meter long eight-headed dragon crucified to a cross while appearing to be made entirely of purple holy flames. It could breathe out flames and continuously regenerate its heads.

### Sanguis Pluviae Ardentis Lamentationis

**Sanguis Pluviae Ardentis Lamentationis** (永遠の悲しみのイコール - 火と血の失われた狂詩曲サンギズ・プラビアエ・アーデンティズ・レーメンタティオニズ, *Sangizu Purabiae Ādentizu Rēmentationizu*), also known as the **Ichor of Eternal Sorrow - Lost Rhapsody of Fire and Blood**, is Rhaenyra Vaelarys's Abyss-Side Balance Breaker. It created a giant three-headed western dragon roughly the size of three football stadiums out of purple flames and can breathe out gusts of holy fire that "make atomic bombs look like some firecrackers".

## Trivia

* It has a consciousness inside of it, which is only referred to as the Chief Mourner.
* "Sanguis Pluviae Ardentis Lamentationis" means "Blood Rain of Burning Lamentation".
* Antiphon has the meaning of "ecclesiastical" which means: of or relating to the church or the clergy; churchly; clerical; not secular. Calvario has the meaning of "torment" so what Antiphon Calvario means in relation to the Incinerate Anthem's power is "Holy Torment".
