Mecha Profile - Demonbane

From the hate scorched sky with righteous anger in our hearts we draw forth the sword that smites evil! Thou art the innocent blade... Demonbane!

Name: Demonbane
Pilot: Kurou Daijuji and Al Azif, Elsa (temporary grimoire replacement, in Al Azif's route), Hadou Ruri (temporary pilot replacement, in Ruri's route)
Origin: Demonbane
Height: 55.5 m
Weight: 4254 metric tons
Powered By: Cor Leonis (drawing energy from infinite parallel universes)
Destructive Capacity: Multi city block level+, citybuster with Lemuria Impact, island level+ with Cthugha, potentially country level with the Combined God Beast attack (the explosion spread through entire sky above Arkham City | City level+, at least island level+ with stronger attacks | Multi planet level (destroyed a "universe" filled with planet-sized clocks and later annihilated bllions of meteors in its clash with Liber Legis) | Multiverse level+ with the combined Shining Trapezohedron (recreated the entire multiverse, possibly metaversal since its power surpassed even Nyarlathotep)
Range: Mecha melee range, several to dozens of kilometers w/ ranged attacks | Unknown | Unknown
Performance: Hypersonic+ with up to massively hypersonic+ reactions (using its sword Demonbane can deflect a volley from 100 Vulcan guns at once, making it at least Mach 750+) | Massively hypersonic+ with probably relativistic reactions (can dodge and react against lasers fired from the Legacy of Gold) | FTL| Unknown, at least FTL
Terrain: Ground, underwater | Ground, air, underwater, space
Durability: Multi city block level+, city level+ w/ barriers (tanked a Lemuria Impact that somewhat went out of control, barely but survived Cthugha's activation) | City level+, likely higher | Multi planet level+ | Multiverse level+ (possibly higher, Nyarlathotep was unable to do anything against the power of two Shining Trapezohedrons)
Material: Superalloy Adamantine
Lifting Strength: Class M | Class M | At least Class G (held a sword which is many times of Demonbane's size)
Striking Strength: Class GJ+ (kicked Doctor West's Super West Destroyer Robot No. 28 Special through countless buildings) | Class TJ (its punches are comparable to a nuclear bomb) | Class YJ | Immeasurable
Notable Features: Super strength, durability, speed, magic, barriers against mental, physical and soul attacks, teleportation (that works via manipulating the quantum probability) via the Imaginary Catapult, able to warp timespace and gravity for additional speed and mobility (performing physically impossible maneuvers like jumping without a solid base beneath Demonbane's legs) via Timaeus and Critas, can trap one or even multiple targets in a net via Atlach-Nacha, illusion creation via Mirror of Nitocris, time-space breaking kick via Atlantis Strike, energy blasts, fire and ice attacks by using Cthugha and Ithaqua, can trap the target in a field which bombards the enemy with infinite heat via Lemuria Impact | Same but stronger than its previous form with the addition of: regeneration, (at least Low-Mid), flight & levitation and further speed boost via Shantakk, capable of brief time travel to attack the target from the near future via Timaeus and Critas, able to reflect energy beams and lasers via the Mirror of Nitocris, can generate a black hole that distorts space-time via just activating Lemuria Impact | Same but stronger, with the addition of universe level causality warping via Cor Leonis | Far stronger than any of the previous versions with acausality and reality warping on multiversal scale
Needed Prerequisite for Use: Having a powerful sorcerer with a similarly strong Grimmoire to activate it (although the majority of Demonbane's abilities are linked to Al Azif, so possessing the original Necronomicon is must to achieve Demonbane's full power)
Weaknesses: Unable to teleport for the summons without the Imaginary Expansion Catapult. | Can only contain the energies of the combined Shining Trapezohedron for a limited time. Also unleashing the full powers of the Shining Trapezohedron drains the infinite energies of Cor leonis almost completely, making Demonbane a powerless husk of metal for a long while.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Imaginary Expansion Catapult: Imaginary Catapult, for sort. A huge techno-magical device that allows Demonbane to teleport or to be summoned to the battlefield. In dire situation the device can be also used to recall Demonbane back to the hangar. The mechanics of the Imaginary Expansion Catapult are very complex, described in multiple steps. First, Demonbane dematerializes, turning into pure energy. Second, this energy spreads into every point of the universe. Third, through the manipulation of quantum probability, the Imaginary Catapult turns the infinitely small chance of matter existing to 100% at a certain location (while taking care to affix the correct time axis). Fourth, Demonbane re-materializes at the desired point in space.

- Atlach-Nacha: A web of energy threads surge out from the Demonbane's head to bind and restrain. Mid game onwards, Atlach-Nacha is strong enough to easily grab over 50 of the mass-produced Destroyer Robots at once.

- Atlantis Strike: A kick that utilizes Timaeus and Critas to release tremendous space-time ripping energy at close range. The kick has enough power to crush dimensions and it ignores regular durability. Alternatively Atlantis Strike can be used like an improvised defense, warping space thus redirecting the incoming attack to somewhere else.

• "Shockwave": Demonbane uses Atlantis Strike on the ground, releasing a huge destructive wave of energy in a straight line.

• Atlatis Tornado Strike: Used in conjunction with the flight abilities of Shantakk, Demonbane keeps spinning like a drill, pulverizing everything in its path with space-time ripping power.

- Schimitar or Barzai: A curved sword that focuses on extreme cutting power. Comparable to Liber Legis' Cross of Sin in power. The scimitar can be also throw like a boomerang to hit the enemy from long range.

• Boomerang: Demonbane throws the scimitar which transforms into a spinning blade of death slicing through everything on its path until returning into the machine's hands. At full power this technique was strong enough to destroy dozens of minor sea gods, each being comparable to Dagon, with a single throw.

• Shield: The scimitar's folded blades spread out like a fan, creating an improvised shield.

 

• Shockwave: Demonbane swings the Scimitar of Barzai and releases shockwave that can blow up many dozens of Destroyer Robots at once.

• Beam Blade: The scimitar changes shape and emits an extending beam blade.

- Mirror of Nitocris: A mirror that makes a bridge between the world reality and fiction. It allows Demonbane to cast illusions on the enemy to deceive them. Kurou's favorite trick is to create many illusionary duplicates of Demonbane while the real machine remains invisible, thus landing a sneak attack from an unexpected direction.

• Flash: The Mirror of Nitocris surrounds the enemy like a weak barrier. Once hit the Mirror of Nitocris splits into countless shards that reflect and amplify the light thus temporary blinding the enemy with its intense flash.
• Mirror Coating: The Mirror Nitocris covers Demonbane, reflecting lasers and energy beams back on the attackers. Alternatively this coating could be applied to other objects like the Scimitar of Barzai. Albeit potent enough to reflect countless Destroyer Robot beams at once, the Mirror Coating was iproved to be weaker than the lasers shot by the Legacy of Gold.
• Mirror Shield: The Mirror of Nitocris detaches from Demonbane, circling around the machine like countless little shields that reflect lasers and energy attacks. The shields can be arranged into multiple layers, strong enough that they temporally withstood the lasers shot by the Legacy of Gold.

- Elder Sign: Al Azif generates magical shield, standing as large as Demonbane's entire body. Elder Sign is Demonbane's strongest protection, capable of fending off mental, physical, spiritual and spatial attacks as well as mini black holes. Albeit the Elder Sing is generally only effective from a single direction (usually the front), allowing its enemies to ignore it by flanking attacks.

- Cthugha and Ithaqua: Appear in a form of an automatic pistol and revolver, Cthugha unleash unrivaled heat and powerful explosion while Ithaqua unleash 6 homing bullets target enemy's weak point at will, God Beast bullets revealed their true form and their true power.

- Lauger and Czar: Twin stilettos, pretty much the close-combat versions of Cthugha and Ithaqua, only appear in Demonbane OVA and the game's sequel.

- Lemuria Impact: Short-range sublimation spell, Demonbane's strongest attack. The Machine generates a grean ball of energy that transfers for Demonbane's fist. Following that Demonbane thrusts its palm forward, touching the target, stopping its movements and surrounding it with a barrier. The next instant the target is being bombarded with infinite heat until it's reduced to nothingness. The technique has tremedous power, said to be capable of destroying entire Arkham City if it ever went fully out of control. Lemuria Impact usually required to input the Nachaal Code before activation. Although near the finale Ruri gave Kurou and Al Azif the ignition keys, allowing them to use Lemuria Impact repeatedly.

• Lemuria Delay Impact: Technique used against large groups. Demonbane's rushes forward while its arm glows with green energy. The machine zips through the targets touching multiple opponents in a rapid succession thus immobilizing them by the field. Following that Demonbane activates Lemuria Impact, annihilating every single enemy at once with infinite heat.

- Shantak Wing: A wing that allow Demonbane to flight and increase its speed rapidly.

- Spell Helix: The merge of Cthugha and Ithaqua, a large spell cannon strong enough to match the Bow of Sirius' full power.

- Shining Trapezohedron: Demonbane reaches out its arm through the boundary of dimensions to pull out a weird twin bladed sword, the Shining Trapezohedron. The sword can cleave through space to open a portal to the Court of Azathoth, erasing the target from causality and sealing it in a nightmarish realm. Any damage done by the Shining Trapezohedron is permanent, overruling regeneration and other forms of restoration since the destroyed pieces are no longer part of the reality. In addition the sword apparently forms an almost impenetrable barrier to protect its wielder. Shining Trapezohedron has intensive energies, enough to destroy the entire universe by a mistake.Furthermore the clash between two Shining Trapezohedrons was intense, with enough force to both create and destroy infinite universes. Shining Trapezohedron itself was supposed to be the weapon of the Edler Gods who were using it to seal Azathoth and the rest of the Outer Gods (with the exception of Nyarathotep and Yog Sothoth).

- Combined Shining Trapezohedron: In the bout between Demonbane and Liber Legis, Kurou managed to combine the power of both Shining Trapezohedrons, potentially restoring the weapon to its original height of power. In this new form Shining Trapezohedron grew at least several times higher than Demonbane yet the machine controled it with causal ease. More importantly, the combined force of both Shining Trapezohedrons were enough to overwhelm Nyarlathotep and restore the multiverse back to normal.

Note: Demonbane is a good multiversal surfboard for various quality characters.
