The sword is not of this earth. It binds men to it who might otherwise be disloyal.
~ Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu about Oda Nobunaga's Sword of Eden

Summary

The Swords of Eden are sword-like pieces of technology created by the Isu, primarily by Hephaestus and Consus. These Pieces of Eden have been most commonly used by influential humans in war and conquest.

Several conquerors and heroes in human history have been in possession of a Sword of Eden.

Powers and Stats

Tier: At least 9-A

Name: Sword of Eden, Sword of Damokles, Excalibur

Origin: Assassin's Creed

Age: Unknown

Classification: Sword, Isu weapon

Wielders: Isu (Hephaestus and Consus, creators), various humans through history like Theseus, Atilla the Hun, Sigmund, Deimos, Kassandra, King Arthur Pendragon, Eivor Varinsdottir, Genghis Khan, Hülegü Khan, Jacques De Molay, Jacques De Molay's advisor, Jeanne d'Arc, Oda Nobunaga, François-Thomas Germain, Arno Dorian

Powers and abilities: Energy Projection and Energy Manipulation (Can shoot powerful energy blasts and manipulate energy in intricate ways for setting up traps and the like), Forcefield Creation, Explosion Manipulation (Both St-Germain's sword and Deimos's sword[1] could set[2] explosive traps[1] and envelop both their wielders, in a protective aura, especially in the case of St. Germain, where any attempt to physically harm him would result in the sword blasting away the assailant in a powerful explosion. Deimos's Sword of Damokles can also generate powerful[2] explosions[1]. Excalibur can also generate powerful explosions that blast away everyone within its vicinity, with the ability being activated by ending a combo with a Heavy Attack.[3] All Pieces of Eden can project powerful energy blasts), Aura (Enveloped Alexios in a protective and empowering aura)[1], Statistics Amplification, Social Influencing and Empathic Manipulation (Provides a permanent and tremendous power boost to its wielder to the point where they become powerful enough to rival the Isu, as in the case of Alexios who could easily cross several dozens of meters with a single leap[1], and Alexios already possessed superhuman capabilities since birth due to being a direct descendant of the Isu. The Swords were also known to boost their wielders' charisma and morale. Both Arthur Pendragon and Jeanne d'Arc were enhanced in the same way[4]), Shockwave Inducement, Teleportation and Electricity Manipulation (Germain's sword only- Can release an energy blast into the air above its wielder and generate powerful direct blasts of electricity, he can also teleport with the blade[5]), Negation (Renders its wielders immune to the illusion-casting effects of the Staves and the Apples of Eden, and even their other powers. Hülegü used the Sword of Eden to nullify the powers of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Apple of Eden during the Siege of Masyaf in 1257[6]), Extrasensory Perception and limited Precognition (Its wielder can use an echolocation ability similar to the infamous Eagle Vision, which allowed them to detect an enemy's present hiding spot and foresee when they would attack[5]), possibly Fear Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Mind Control (Was noted by Chaya to be able to bind men unloyal to its wielder[7]), Light Manipulation and Status Effect Inducement (All Swords of Eden can generate a bright light from their blade and temporarily stun people around it, in the case of Excalibur[3], it can also stun people with heavy attacks)

Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ (Can project energy blasts which can instantly knock out even the strongest of foes like Arno Dorian and can produce explosions powerful enough to kill Elise De La Serre and mortally wound a Sage like François-Thomas Germain. The explosion of Germain's Sword of Eden easily destroyed several pillars and most of the stone structures in the vicinity, and is capable of creating massive explosions on the ground, as Kassandra's fight with Alexios shows. Capable of harming the Isu themselves and clashing against other Swords of Eden, the Spear of Leonidas and the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, which themselves are capable of grievously injuring the likes of Kassandra and even various Olympos Projects. Loki himself used a Sword to pierce through a metal chair to kill an Isu using a Yggdrasil Supercomputer)

Speed: None by itself, depends upon the wielder. At least Supersonic+ with energy blasts (Capable of shooting raw eletricity blasts. Its electric blasts could easily overwhelm Arno Dorian when holding back on its true power, with Arno being this fast, and can allegedly shoot cloud-to-ground lightning blasts. Alexios with the Sword easily gave Kassandra a hard time in their fight even with her advanced time-slowing abilities. Should be on par with the other Pieces of Eden in terms of speed)

Durability: At least Small Building level+ (Even after the final explosion removed its powers, the original blade itself was still intact. Can survive clashing against other Pieces of Eden and still not suffer a single scratch. The Sword of Damokles took blows from the Spear of Leonidas and the Staff of Hermes and was completely undamaged. Multiple copies of Excalibur were wielded by several of Odin's Aesir comrades meant to be used against other enemy Isu in the final hours of the Isu-Human war before the Great Catastrophe[3])

Range: Extended melee range by itself, several meters with blasts, several dozens of meters with its Echolocation ability, several kilometers with lightning strikes

Weaknesses: The Heart is necessary to unlock the full abilities and powers of the Sword and to repair it, though this applies only to Arno's sword. Overuse of its abilities may cause an overload, followed promptly with a violent explosion and ultimately destroy its shelling that is responsible for its powers as a result, although the blade itself will still remain intact, and this is only for Arno's sword, not Kassandra's.
