Sword of Judgment
The Sword of Judgment, also called the Justice Sword, is the weapon Du Ge creates as King Holly by turning a sword into the public symbol of inescapable punishment.
History
Du Ge first declares that any noble who abandons duty or betrays the new order will die beneath the sword no matter where they flee. Repetition, public confessions, and actual judgments give the weapon the special meaning needed for a derivative item. It becomes part of the founding imagery of the Nation of Justice and remains in Holly's body when Pan-Universal Entertainment removes Du Ge's soul and takes control of the host. (Chapters 404–406 and 444)
Abilities and properties
After evolving into the Justice Sword, the weapon intimidates guilty people, is indestructible, and leaves any guilty target it strikes with a wound that cannot heal and a continuing state of fear. These effects do not make every blow instantly fatal: Du Ge repeatedly wounds the Sun God before killing him, while the resulting injuries and severed neck remain impossible to heal afterward. The guilt condition is also consequential. The Sun God does not regard himself as guilty and prevents the sword from displaying its full power, while the Moon God refuses Du Ge's accusations and forces him to seek another way to kill her. (Chapters 431 and 434–439)
Ownership and custody
| Holder or custodian | Relationship to the item |
|---|---|
| Du Ge | Creator and wielder while inhabiting Holly; repeated public judgments transformed the sword into a derivative item under his control. (Chapters 404–439) |
| Holly's body | Physical host with which the sword remained when Du Ge's soul was extracted. (Chapter 444) |
| Pan-Universal Entertainment | Controlled Holly's body after the extraction and therefore held final indirect custody rather than demonstrated personal ownership. (Chapter 444) |
