Defying the Natural Order

The Defying the Natural Order is one of Grid's dedicated mental-world weapons, first established as an item in Chapter 1803 and explicitly shown as a sword in Chapter 1815. Its documented combat qualities include pressure capable of distorting its surroundings and effects that favor critical and weak-point attacks. (Chapter 1803) (Chapter 1815) (Chapter 1841)

History

Separating the sword from the earlier class

The phrase “Defying the Natural Order” first appears in the supplied corpus in Chapter 553 as the name of another player's class, not as this weapon. The item is independently established in Chapter 1803, where it is grouped with weapons made for and tied to mental worlds; its sword form becomes explicit in Chapter 1815 when Grid draws it from a sheath. (Chapter 553) (Chapter 1803) (Chapter 1815)

High-level battles and combined use

Grid draws and uses the sword in later high-level battles. Its spiritual and divine pressure distorts the atmosphere when he confronts an enormous opposing blade, and it is among the weapons employed during his fused sword dance against Baal. (Chapter 1815) (Chapter 1841)

The sword can accept temporary external enhancements, as when Grid coats it with the Imoogi's Poisonous Fang. In still later confrontations he pairs it with Grid's Twilight, switches to it after using the Falling Moon Sword, and combines it with Twilight through Item Combination. (Chapter 1900) (Chapter 1998) (Chapter 2033) (Chapter 2054)

Abilities and properties

• The sword can carry enough spirit and divinity to distort the surrounding atmosphere, although the scale of a given attack also depends on Grid's own condition and skills. (Chapter 1815)
• It has effects that create a high probability of critical hits and attacks on weak points. These properties help make it threatening even against Baal's self-defense armor. (Chapter 1841)
• It can be coated with the Imoogi's Poisonous Fang, but the poison belongs to that external enhancement and is not an innate property of the sword. (Chapter 1900)
• Its influence is not unconditional: under Judar's power, neither Grid's sword dance nor the sword itself could affect reality. (Chapter 1947)
• It is compatible with Grid's broader item techniques, including paired use with Twilight and Item Combination. (Chapter 1998) (Chapter 2054)
