Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- die Ewigkeit: eternity destruction. Magical formula created by Mercurius to support ascension to godhood. Alchemy that fuses user and Holy Relic to create superhuman. It enables its user to use souls as a weapon and armor.
-
Spiritual attack: through Ewigkeit, entire body of the Apostle turns into murderous weapon. It's useless to block it physically, what it damages is the very essence of the human, soul. Regardless of absence of pain and body status, just by slightest touch it can kill anyone. Thus, even incorporeal spirits can't survive in front of this power.
-
History poison: by exploiting thoughts and emotion that make up Holy Relic, Apostle can use this superimposed history as a deadly poison that damages body and inhibits regeneration.
-
-
Spiritual armor: Apostles use absorbed souls in the form of powerful, spiritual defense. Natural durability raises in proportion of absorbed souls. At around 300 souls, it's impossible to harm Apostle with anything on Earth, including nukes. Tubal Cain has few times that amount. That's why spiritual attacks is the best way to harm them.
-
Enhanced senses: physical strength is not the only thing that die Ewigkeit can supplement. This applies to senses too. Their vision can now accurately see in a few hundred meters and their hearing can recognize voices even through obstructions.
-
Spiritual vision: along with their enhanced senses, Apostles gain ability to perceive souls. This allows them to measure quality of the soul and see when physical vision is useless. This also let them see what is otherwise invisible (like "flying slashes" from Ren's Assiah).
-
-
Immortality: because Apostles effectively acquire lifeforce of all beings they have eaten, naturally their lifeforce can't even be compared with normal humans. Diseases, poisons and alcohol is no longer effective. Since soul detoriates with age, sucking souls prevents this impending doom by prolonging time when soul whithers completely. Thus, Apostle can only be killed by destroying Holy Relic and all souls it contains.
-
Regeneration: Apostle can easily rebuild own's body by absorbing souls of others. Injuries such as missing limbs or deep wounds can be healed just by sacrificing souls in the stock. And by exploiting spiritual limits (limit of souls one's can absorb) it's possible to heal from any injury by attacking with entire stock in a one attack, thus healing in proportion (that's entire body).
-
Non-corporeality: even with soul consumed, it still doesn't mean death to an Apostle. Strong souls can keep their ego even while absorbed. Apostle can takeover Holy Relic of another consumer, dominate body and rebuild physical body from nothing. However, because of a strong causal bond between Apostle and Holy Relic it's very hard to accomplish and lost battle means losing own's ego.
-
-
Information absorption: all information is recorded in the souls, from memories to emotions and personal experience. Apostle can use this knowledge for their own means. However, because of tremondous amount of information, high level computing capability is required and this ability is almost useless in the course of battle, because one's identity would disappear (unless it's someone with a huge ego, such as Reinhard or someone's crazy, such as Schreiber).
- Deus Ex Machina: Machina's Holy Relic, special type, his own body. After his victory in Ritual of Kodoku, his own soul, 60,000 of high-level souls which were defeated by him and his favorite war machine, Tiger-type tank; all melded together to create the most powerful vessel, Machina. He's no longer limited by human's body, his interior constitutes of gears and cables. Constantly deployed Holy Relic. Even in this state his punches can gradually close the curtain of his target's story, ignoring Valeria's defense and one shooting Cain in his lightning form. His fists are gushing out energies that refract light and surpass tank's cannons. Moreover, as an epitome of indomitability he can't be shackled by anything, requiring at least 200,000 souls to even stop him. Furthermore, he has some resistance to Ren's Atziluth, because they once shared the same soul.
- Miðgarðr Völsunga Saga: Machina's Briah, Gudou type, law that emerged from craving "I want to receive one and sole death". Desire to finish his own life without returning back, wish to stop defilement of his own death. Realization of this craving is the absolute end. Fist of Deus ex Machina. His punch simply ends everything, be it matter, vessels (bodies), knowledge and concepts. Bringing culmination to any story, punch of curtain pulling and the only one in LDO who can kill Reinhard. Destroying some concepts can even bring ruination to the world's order, but Machina simply doesn't care. Even if "story" is equivalent to milisecond, this power will still take effect. There are only two ways to survive this Briah: (1) simply don't receive it in the first place (this power is exercised only via his hands), (2) be void of any history (to put it simply, stop time at the moment of birth).
