Judgment of Shamash/Story

Judgement of Shamash is the seventh Divine Key, made from the core of the Herrscher of Flame. It has historically been in possession of House Kaslana, given that only members of that family are capable of unleashing Shamash’s true powers.

Appearance
Judgement of Shamash has three separate forms. Its neutral form is a pair of pistols, with each barrel containing half of the Key’s Herrscher core. When these pistols are combined, so too do the halves of the Herrscher core, and they form the Cleaver of Shamash, a sword with a super-heated blade. The Key’s final form is Might of An-Utu, a greatsword with a radiance that rivals that of a supernova.

Abilities
To put simply, Judgement of Shamash is a weapon that specialises in creating massive amounts of uninhibited fiery destruction. This Divine Key is capable of vanquishing emperor-class Honkai beasts in the blink of an eye when in its second or third form.

However, unleashing Judgement of Shamash’s true powers comes with the cost of the user’s life. So far, 23 members of House Kaslana have died wielding the Key in defense of humanity. The user can survive, however, if they have activated their ICHOR, as seen with Siegfried Kaslana. Though even then, he was severely injured.

The only person capable of wielding Judgement of Shamash without succumbing to the weapon’s sheer destructive capability is Kevin Kaslana.

Trivia

 * The name Shamash is taken from the ancient Babylonian sun god Shamash. Shamash, also known as Utu, was also the deity of justice, truth and morality.
