Reisgem

Reisgem, also rendered Resigem, is a powerful amethyst beast, a veteran Purgatory Commander, and the son of the Redbud Sovereign. He first meets Linley Baruch while confined to the Amethyst Mountains, where a dangerous game with his signature Gravitational Space becomes an extended lesson in Reisgem's own technique. Their relationship later changes from captor and captive to battlefield partners, with Reisgem accepting Linley and Bebe into his Planar Battlefield hunting squad. (Chapters 521–522, 590, and 675)

Reisgem combines a childlike appetite for excitement with commander-level experience and unusually balanced defenses. His true body, powerful soul, Amethyst Space, and Sovereign weapon make him one of Purgatory's highest-ranked commanders, yet the corpus also gives his abilities definite limits. Determined flight can escape his gravitational control, Bebe's Godeater remains a threat he cannot answer, and coordinated enemies can occupy him while attacking less protected companions. (Chapters 675–676 and 683)

Biography

Amethyst Mountains and Blackstone Space

Reisgem first confronts Linley as the juvenile-looking leader of the Amethyst Mountains' beasts. Ordered to remain within the mountains and starved for company, he treats the trapped God as a new toy, proudly announces that he is a Purgatory Commander, and seals their cave against escape. He then suspends a small black stone above Linley and forms a crushing Gravitational Space from 108 rays of violet divine power. What Reisgem presents as punishment is also a test: Linley may leave if he can understand the space well enough to seize the stone before its power expires. (Chapter 521)

Over five hundred years, Linley studies the arrangement of the 108 rays and connects it to the spikes on Reisgem's true body. Reisgem recognizes that Linley has begun to understand his proudest technique and, despite his frustration at losing a plaything, keeps his promise when Linley breaks free. He explains how the space can neutralize the Amethyst Mountains' pull and tells Linley to bind the Black Stone with blood. The final gift is not solely Reisgem's initiative: after Linley leaves, Reisgem complains that the Redbud Sovereign stopped his game and gave Linley the stone because of an old debt to the Four Divine Beasts clan. (Chapter 522)

The encounter follows Linley long after he leaves the mountains. Castle Master Mosi mistakes Linley's existing soul protection for an artifact Reisgem made and treats the supposed connection as another reason not to kill him; the scene establishes Reisgem's reputation for soul-artifact craftsmanship without making him the creator of Linley's artifact. A scryer recording then shows Linley Reisgem's human form and the overwhelming Gravitational Space with which he dominates another commander. By the time Linley explains where he learned the technique to his clan elders, they infer that Reisgem is the Sovereign's son, connecting the mischievous mountain captive to a much larger Higher-Plane status. (Chapters 553–554 and 590)

Alliance on the Planar Battlefield

Reisgem meets Linley again on the Planar Battlefield and promptly accepts Linley and Bebe into the hunting squad he shares with Reihom. His immediate goal is practical: commanders keep fleeing from him, and he still needs military merits. Reisgem organizes two nearby pairs so that his Amethyst Space can restrict a target while Bebe's Godeater and Reihom's strength supply decisive attacks. The partnership begins with easy sociability—Reisgem and Bebe exchange fruit and boast about innate powers—and proves itself when their combined pressure brings down a commander whom Reisgem's earlier two-person squad could not have trapped reliably. (Chapters 675–676)

That confidence is tested when Montelo's larger force divides the squad. Montelo uses an unending mass of strands to keep Reisgem occupied while other experts pursue Linley and Bebe and surround Reihom. Reisgem cannot simply break the restraint, and his fear for his companions exposes the weakness in a plan built around mutual support. Once the group survives and counterattacks, Reisgem drives Oman deep underground but abandons pursuit when random spatial rifts make continuing too dangerous. He returns without a kill, openly admits the failure, and celebrates Linley's death of Montelo and the badges secured by the team rather than claiming credit he did not earn. (Chapters 683 and 694)

Reisgem remains with the group after Magnus's attack leaves Linley undergoing an apparently fatal soul mutation. He and Reihom give Bebe space to keep watch, share the others' fear, and wait for signs of recovery. After Linley awakens, Reisgem enthusiastically watches him test his new power and recognizes the gulf between commander and Paragon-level combat. He nonetheless retains his independence: when Linley offers to obtain the last military merits for him, Reisgem refuses, wins what he needs beside Reihom, and parts from Linley and Bebe on friendly terms. Linley later names Reisgem among the familiar people he would still agree to meet despite withdrawing from most visitors. (Chapters 700, 702, 711, and 719)

Appearance and personality

In his true form, Reisgem resembles a small juvenile amethyst beast with clear eyes, meaty paws, and 108 spikes arranged across his back. His slight, almost toy-like appearance contrasts with his command over the other amethyst beasts and his ability to kill powerful Highgods. In human form, a scryer recording shows him as a handsome youth resembling Bebe, covered in amethyst armor and fighting directly with his hands and feet. (Chapters 521–522 and 554)

Reisgem is boastful, restless, and mischievous. Confinement in the Amethyst Mountains leaves him eager for entertainment, and his first response to Linley is to invent a lethal game rather than offer straightforward aid. He dislikes the pet name “Gem-Gem,” takes visible pride in his signature technique, and later urges Linley and Bluefire to fight without restraint even if their cave is destroyed. His love of disorder is genuine, but it coexists with an ability to keep promises and acknowledge another person's accomplishment. (Chapters 521–522 and 702)

His battlefield conduct reveals loyalty beneath that playfulness. Reisgem quickly befriends Bebe, introduces Reihom as a trusted friend rather than merely his mother's Emissary, and worries when enemy tactics separate him from both companions. He protects Bebe even when a Paragon could drive him into a spatial rift, remains near the unconscious Linley, and refuses an offer of easy military merits because he believes he and Reihom can earn them. Pride can make him reckless, but it also sustains his independence and commitment to his squad. (Chapters 675, 683, 700, 702, and 711)

Abilities and cultivation

Reisgem is a longstanding Purgatory Commander whom Beirut's records rank among the top five commanders of Purgatory. His power is unusually balanced across a strong amethyst-beast body, a formidable soul, gravitational control, speed, and a single Sovereign weapon. This does not make him a Paragon: he is overwhelmed by the difference when he watches Paragon-level combat, and his survival against stronger opponents depends on natural resilience, equipment, tactics, and allied support. (Chapters 675–676 and 702)

Amethyst Space and gravitational control

Reisgem's signature Gravitational Space combines the Throbbing Pulse of the World with the Gravitational Space profound mystery and a special configuration associated with the 108 spikes on his back. In the Amethyst Mountains, 108 rays of divine power emerge from the Black Stone and curve into a complete sphere around Linley, generating intense repulsive force. Reisgem describes this special use of fused mysteries as his ultimate technique, and Linley needs five centuries of study to reproduce even its underlying arrangement well enough to escape. (Chapters 521–522)

In commander combat, the technique appears as a violet field called Amethyst Space. It can hinder powerful opponents, coordinate with allied attacks, and leave even a Sovereign's Emissary at a disadvantage, while Reisgem's own recorded version is substantially stronger than Linley's imitation. Its principal stated limit is containment: Reisgem admits that commanders who devote themselves entirely to flight can still escape. This weakness motivates his alliance with Bebe and Reihom, whose attacks can exploit the momentary control that gravity alone cannot convert into a kill. (Chapters 554, 675–676, and 694)

Amethyst-beast body, speed, and combat

Reisgem's true body has 108 spikes and exceptional toughness, while his human form can fight in close quarters using hands and feet beneath amethyst armor. A scryer recording shows him defeating another Purgatory Commander one-sidedly, and on the Planar Battlefield he moves faster than Linley. He also uses a longspear while resisting Montelo's restraining strands, but the cited scenes do not explicitly identify that spear with the single Sovereign weapon known to be in his possession. (Chapters 522, 554, 676, and 683)

His body is powerful without being absolute. Linley judges it inferior to Bebe's, and Reisgem can be restrained when Montelo continuously replaces every strand he destroys. He compensates with speed, endurance, gravitational control, and tactical judgment: after forcing Oman into increasingly dangerous underground terrain, Reisgem breaks off rather than risk an uncontrolled spatial rift merely to secure a badge. The decision shows that his combat experience includes knowing when superior pressure no longer justifies continued pursuit. (Chapters 676, 683, and 694)

Soul power and limitations

Reisgem has a naturally powerful soul and identifies soul attacks as a specialty. He claims not to fear even the soul attacks of Highgod Paragons, while Mosi names him as one of the few experts capable of making soul-protecting divine artifacts. The first statement is Reisgem's own assessment and the second is another commander's expert testimony; neither cited scene demonstrates Reisgem personally crafting such an artifact or defeating a Paragon through soul power. (Chapters 553 and 675–676)

Bebe's Godeater is an explicit exception to that confidence. Reisgem says he has no answer to an ability that directly consumes the divine spark and destroys the soul unless the target has a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact or Paragon status. He therefore warns Bebe never to use it against him and then incorporates that same unmatched attack into the squad's tactics. Recognizing a hard counter becomes a reason for cooperation rather than rivalry. (Chapters 675–676)

Command and team tactics

Reisgem understands how to combine specialized fighters. He pairs himself with Linley and Reihom with Bebe at a distance they can quickly cross, using the two teams to search without surrendering mutual support. His planned sequence is explicit: Amethyst Space limits escape, Bebe attacks the soul at the critical moment, and Reihom delivers overwhelming physical force. This arrangement turns abilities that are individually avoidable into a credible commander-hunting system. (Chapters 675–676)

The Montelo battle also establishes the system's counter. A larger enemy force isolates Reisgem with a technique he cannot quickly break, then attacks the other pairs separately. Reisgem's personal strength prevents Montelo from killing him, but it does not let him protect every ally at once. The squad survives because its separated members can endure and win their own confrontations, making trust and individual resilience as important as Reisgem's initial formation. (Chapters 683–694)

Relationships

• Linley Baruch: Reisgem begins by trapping Linley for entertainment, yet his challenge becomes the foundation of Linley's Blackstone Space. He keeps his promise when Linley succeeds, later welcomes him into a hunting squad, and remains nearby during his soul mutation. By the end of the Planar War, Reisgem can decline Linley's help without damaging their friendship, and Linley continues to regard him as one of the few powerful acquaintances he is willing to receive. (Chapters 521–522, 675, 700, 711, and 719)
• Bebe: Their similar childlike enthusiasm produces a quick friendship built through food, boasting, and battle. Reisgem candidly admits that Bebe's Godeater can kill him, trusts Bebe not to use it against an ally, and makes it central to the squad's hunting plan. His later insistence on protecting Bebe from Bayer shows that this relationship becomes a real obligation rather than remaining tactical convenience. (Chapters 675–676 and 702)
• Reihom: Reisgem calls Reihom his good friend and introduces him as a trusted Emissary of the Redbud Sovereign. They have already hunted together for years when Linley joins them, and Reisgem's alarm during Montelo's ambush reflects confidence in Reihom without indifference to his danger. They ultimately acquire their remaining military merits together after refusing Linley's assistance. (Chapters 675, 683, and 711)
• Redbud Sovereign: Reisgem is the Redbud Sovereign's son, receives an effectively inexhaustible supply of her Sovereign's Might, and has access to an unnamed Sovereign weapon. Her authority also limits him: she keeps him in the Amethyst Mountains and intervenes in his game with Linley, arranging the Black Stone's transfer because of her debt to the Four Divine Beasts clan. Reisgem complains about her pet name and decision, but obeys the outcome. (Chapters 521–522, 590, 675–676, and 683)
• Montelo: Montelo is both a personal irritant and a tactical counter. His restraint technique prevents Reisgem from aiding companions while the rest of his force attacks them, demonstrating that Reisgem can be neutralized without being defeated directly. When Linley kills Montelo, Reisgem celebrates the result openly, but does not falsely present the victory as his own. (Chapters 683 and 694)

Items

• Black Stone: Reisgem uses the stone to project the 108-ray Gravitational Space that traps and tests Linley, then instructs Linley to bind it with blood. The transfer is mediated by the Redbud Sovereign, whose old debt motivates the gift despite Reisgem's wish to prolong his game. Reisgem therefore has a direct operational and instructional relationship to the artifact, but Linley becomes its bound holder before leaving the cave. (Chapters 521–522)
• Unnamed Sovereign weapon: Reisgem possesses one offensive Sovereign artifact. The cited chapters establish that it is his only Sovereign artifact and show him using a longspear in battle, but they do not explicitly equate the two or provide the Sovereign weapon's name. It is therefore not assigned an invented catalog identity. (Chapters 676, 683, and 694)
