Ryo raised the blade forged from the Orb, and immediately, the air around them seemed to vibrate under the intensity of its power. Every rune engraved on the metal glowed with a living brilliance, and Gabriel spoke within Ryo's mind, his voice resonating with authority:
> Gabriel: "Ryo… this weapon is more than a sword. It contains the raw power of the Dragon Orb. But to master it fully, you must understand every aspect of its potential."
Ryo examined the blade and began exploring its capabilities:
1. Cataclysmic Destruction: a single strike can reduce an entire country to ashes, annihilating cities, mountains, and armies.
2. Absolute Invulnerability: no physical, magical, or divine attack can damage it.
3. Space-Time Severing: the blade can traverse dimensions, strike instantly at a distance, and hit targets across past or future timelines.
4. Extermination of Immortals: even beings claiming invincibility can be struck and neutralized.
5. Soul Imprisonment: victims' essence can be sealed in dimensional prisons, preventing any resurrection.
6. Devastating Energy Waves: the sword can unleash blasts of pure energy capable of obliterating entire armies from afar.
7. Dimensional Link with Ashen: allows instant portal creation to transport allies or enemies.
8. Ally Amplification: the wielder can share a fraction of the Orb's energy with allies, temporarily enhancing their power.
9. Power Detection: the blade senses supernatural forces and artifacts, revealing threats before they act.
10. Weather and Element Manipulation: it can summon storms, lightning, earthquakes, and fire rains on the battlefield.
11. Gravity and Time Alteration: the wielder can slow or accelerate time around enemies, immobilizing or disrupting them.
12. Custom Weapon Creation: the blade can fuse its energy to become a weapon suited to the wielder's needs—sword, bow, or colossal siege weapon.
13. Aura of Domination: all enemies nearby feel the oppressive might of the Orb, weakening their morale and combat effectiveness.
Ryo swung the blade, and the energy it released formed an incandescent halo. Each movement traced lines through the air capable of slicing through space itself and neutralizing any threat.
> Ryo: "With this weapon… Ashen will become invincible. No kingdom, no army, no immortal can stop us."
Gabriel added:
> Gabriel: "Remember, Ryo. This power should only be wielded by one who is worthy and ready to bear the responsibility of its consequences. Even the heavens will tremble before you."
Ryo clenched the blade, feeling the Orb's power coursing through his veins. Every fiber of his being vibrated with the certainty that the weapon would change Ashen's fate, and that the approaching war would be fought with a force the Divine Realm had never before witnessed.
