The Holy Relic of Reinhard Heydrich. The Lance of Longinus that peirced the side of Christ.
History[]
In the Bible niether the Lance nor the Soldier wielding it had a name. Though the soldier was named Longinus in an extra-biblical source.
In Tradition, the spear itself has no power, holding historical, symbolic, and spiritual signifigance. Though it does not hold the Power of God.
A Lance said to be that of Longinus is held at the Imperial Treasury at Vienna since around 1000 AD.
In Mien Kampf, Hitler wrote about the Imperial Insignia, stating that they:
"were still preserved in Vienna and appeared to act as magical relics rather than as the visible guarantee of an everlasting bond of union. When the Habsburg State crumbled to pieces in 1918, the Austrian Germans instinctively raised an outcry for union with their German fatherland.",
Which reflects the functions of the Lance as a Holy Relic.
On March 12th, 1938, came the Anschluss, wherin Austria was annexed into Germany. Where they took the Reichskleinodien (Imperial Relics), to Nuremburg.
Most of the Relics were recovered, but five were hidden by the Nazi's, possibly at the command of Heinrich Himmler. In the hopes of using them as tools of political power. Though all five were later found and returned to Vienna.
Reinhard came to possess it, and he alone was able to wield it. Leading to Heinreich Himmler getting jealous, calling over a famous blacksmith from Japan in order to forge a replica. That being Musashi Sakurai, who forged the Wewelsburg Longinus.
(Spectulation, Don't Remember if Confirmed)
Due to Heinrich being at the head of the Early Obsidian Round Table, which was obssessed with Magic and Occultism, it would be possible that they kept it for archane purposes.
Furthermore, this history would of given Reinhard Heydrich many chances to take the Lance for himself.
Abilities[]
As the lance itself chose its wielder, it holds the basic function of searing down the body, mind, and soul of a being not recognized as its current master that tries to hold the lance. Not even Ren Fuji, the successor of Ewigkeit and an autonomous Ahnenerbe capable of wielding every kind of Relics, is exempt from this rule. Attempting to replicate the Holy Lance would also brought down a divine curse, as evidenced by the Sakurai bloodline who was commisioned by Heinrich Himmler to create a replica of the lance out of jealousy because he couldn't wield the spear himself. The Sakurais were cursed, with one of their family member forced into an eternal servitude towards the Longinus Dreizehn Orden as a gestalt undead known as Tubal Cain.
Being the apex of Holy Relic, the power that such lance possesses is obviously unmatched by any others. Just by pointing the tip of the lance at the enemies, it's capable of incinerating and vaporizing them. A God-Killing lance that's capable of launching a surge of Golden Light of Destruction, washing away Creation Figment and the Order of an Old Era upon contact, as if a light signaling the coming of a new World. None can withstand the might of such an almighty lance.
Furthermore, the lance also possesses the traits of Reinhard's 3 Commanders. Moving as fast as Albedo, killing everything in a single blow like Nigredo, and without missing its target like Rubedo. Transcending the very concept of space and distance, crossing even dimensional borders. No realm is safe, for there are no place where this lance can't reach.
The lance can also endow a Stigmata to those who were harmed by it, marking their souls as a sacrifice for Reinhard's Valhalla. Upon death, their souls would be dragged to Gladsheimr, joining Reinhard as his Einherjar, an extension of his will. Through this, Reinhard can continuously supplement his army further and further. Reinhard can also punish those who bear the Stigmata by gracing them with an extreme pain.
A Holy Relic with the highest soul density, eternally immutable and utterly untainable, the universe itself in the form of a Golden Lance. Truly an almighty Relic befitting the Golden Beast of Destruction himself, Reinhard Heydrich.
It is capable of erasing beings from existance, bypassing all defense, and can even effect beings without a physical presence. It kills the target on every level of existance, before dragging them to Valhalla to live in eternal slavery.
In Kasumi Route, Marie Route and Rea Route, the lance pierced Gudou God Marie, be it an attack from Trifa or Reinhard, showing its tremendous powers even in a weakened state.
