[Self-Selected Gold Card]: [Thunderbolt – Yatales], [Seventh Divine Key – Judgment of Shamash], [Homelander], [Azure Rainbow Sword Manual – Nascent Soul], [Human Order Incineration EX – One Use], [Humanoid Common-Sense Rewrite – One Use], [Noble Phantasm: Rule Breaker A], [Noble Phantasm: Balmung – The Phantasmal Greatsword A], [Mythical Zoan: Fish-Fish Fruit – Azure Dragon Form]
Ten options appeared before Sol, leaving him a little disappointed.
He had thought the hundred-pull self-selection meant picking any treasure across the myriad worlds. Instead, it was just one among ten gold cards.
Still, that was only fair—if the system listed every artifact from every world, he'd never finish choosing.
Among these ten cards, the power scale ranged from Street-Level Devastation to Star-Collapsing Apocalypse.
Street-Level Devastation: [Homelander], with strength near a thousand tons and abilities like Heat Vision.
City-Buster: Siegfried's [Balmung – The Phantasmal Greatsword] from FGO, and Kaido's Azure Dragon fruit.
Province-Buster: [Azure Rainbow Sword Manual], a cultivation method reaching Nascent Soul realm, from A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Continent-Buster: the [Seventh Divine Key – Judgment of Shamash], forged from a Herrscher core, whose full release could annihilate continents. When wielded by Kevin Kaslana, it shone with the brilliance of a dying star, carrying even the shadow of the End's authority.
Exterminatus-Level: [Human Order Incineration EX], a one-use card capable of wiping away all civilization on Earth in a single blaze.
Star-Collapsing Scenario: [Thunderbolt – Yatales], the armor that fought the Cosmic Broodmother. In legend, it destroyed a monster as large as Earth itself.
As for [Common Sense Rewrite], Sol smirked inwardly. That'd be handy… for some questionable scenarios.
"So, which one should I pick?"
He absentmindedly stroked Baal as he pondered.
Homelander was out—raw strength in the kiloton range was simply underwhelming compared to the others.
The Nascent Soul manual interested him, but without spiritual energy in this world, it was pointless.
[Human Order Incineration] was another no-go. An apocalyptic one-use nuke? He was enjoying life here; no need to drag the whole world down.
That left only [Thunderbolt – Yatales] and [Seventh Divine Key – Judgment of Shamash].
But… Yatales drew its strength from Earth itself. Would this world's planet even lend him power? And even if it did, would that armor acknowledge a shameless man like him?
As for [Common Sense Rewrite], Sol dismissed it with a wry grin. He hadn't fallen so low as to need that yet. Besides, it wasn't mind control—it wouldn't enforce loyalty, just tweak perceptions.
Of course, if it weren't one-use only, he'd never let it slip by.
"So, there's really only one answer." Sol picked up the gold card etched with a red-golden greatsword. "Kevin's divine weapon—let me witness the Judgment of Shamash unleashed!"
The Judgment of Shamash—Kevin Kaslana's weapon in Honkai Impact 3rd. A god-slayer armament standing at the very top of the world's arsenal, with almost no defeats to its name. By scale, it was a continent-buster, at least.
Forged from the Herrscher of Flamescion's core and the pinnacle of pre-civilization tech, the Seventh Divine Key's power was too great. To protect its wielder, it had built-in limiters, splitting its might into stages.
In its initial form, dual pistols, it demanded little of the user—yet could annihilate lesser Honkai beasts (ranging up to city-level threats).
Later forms—the [Cleaver of Shamash], [Limit Break – Might of An-Utu], and [Zero-Load Limit – Shuhadaku of Uriel]—grew exponentially stronger, eventually rivalling even the End.
Even without transforming into the greatsword, the pistols alone matched Void Hunters.
Once unlocked, the Cleaver of Shamash and beyond could make him nigh invincible in this world.
The only problem: its flames spared no one. The wielder was burned alongside the enemy by its apocalyptic heat.
Only Kevin, fused with the Emperor-class Honkai beast Parvati and its cryokinetic powers, could wield the Judgment freely.
For anyone else, using even its second stage meant certain death. Forget about its transcendent final forms.
But Sol only smiled. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI[F]ire.net
He had three resurrection items in hand. One way or another, he'd draw fire/ice immunity, or tanking abilities down the line.
For now, with his strengthened body, unlocking the first-stage flame greatsword wouldn't be fatal. Even if he was gravely injured, he'd recover fast.
That made Judgment of Shamash the clear choice—deadly and stylish.
Who cared if it risked fatal burns? What was a mortal wound, when he could revive?
With a flick, twin pistols appeared in his hands.
Black-and-white frames, ornate gold barrels. The split Herrscher core embedded into the safeties glowed faint red.
The design oozed style—different from the hard-edged [Ebony & Ivory]. This was power wrought into elegance.
Even just holding them, he could feel the terror sealed within.
Channeling energy into them, faint orange-red sparks flickered at the muzzles.
Baal shuddered beside him, staring at the guns. "What… what kind of weapon is that? It feels even more terrifying than an Archon's Gnosis."
To her eyes, they were just pretty handguns—not unlike the toys Billy Kid carried.
Yet the aura they exuded was undeniable—the authority of fire itself, akin to when she once held the Gnosis of the Electro Archon.
She had no doubt—if mastered, this weapon could elevate someone to the level of an Archon.
"Sharp senses." Sol dismissed [Ebony & Ivory], swapping them for the Judgment's twin pistols instead. "It really is close to a God's Gnosis. A weapon forged by humans from the body of a god."
After all, Herrschers were the embodiment of natural law itself—calling them gods was no exaggeration.
Like Father always said: only magic can counter magic. In Honkai, only a Herrscher could defeat a Herrscher.
Baal froze, wide-eyed. She believed him completely.
Weapons made from gods by humans? Was the outside world really this insane?
Sol only chuckled, ruffling her hair. "Come on. I'm in a good mood today. Let's get some breakfast."
