Disintegration

"O God I offer you my prayer. I desire the Holy Spirit's great power. Please grant my wish. Let everything come to an end! Disintegration!!"

- Disintegration's Chant



Disintegration (霊子崩壊) is the strongest offensive magic among the Holy Magic system.

Invocation
Tracing complex shapes with ones outstretched hands, the user has to craft a geometrical design in the air, stretching it out into a layered, physically present magic circle. Following that, a chant is spoken in prayer, signaling the activation.

Effects
Disintegration is an attack that causes spiritron decay within the target. Anything within the area of effect gets erased at the speed of light, and not even souls can avoid annihilation.

While it can destroy anything within it's area of effect, Disintegration has a limited range, hence it might have much less effects against targets with considerably large size like True Dragons or Charybdis.

Variants
Any attack that causes spiritron decay within the target can, in principle, be considered Disintegration. Some powerful characters in series have created different variants of it.

Trinity Disintegration
Trinity Disintegration (三重霊子崩壊) is the most powerful attack unleashed by the Clerics of the Seven Luminaries, basically Disintegration casted three-fold. By preparing the ritual beforehand, this spell could be cast in tandem with Trinity Break.

Multi-Stage Disintegration
Multi-Stage Disintegration (多段式) is Diablo's take on disintegration. During combat Diablo will surround the target in invisible magic circles then activate all of them at once with a snap of his fingers, leaving the target surrounded on all sides by seven disintegrations that can be fired at will.

Sanctuary Disintegration
Sanctuary Disintegration (聖域型極大霊子崩壊) is Demon Lord Luminous Valentine's most powerful attack. The crystallization of the people of the Holy City, with the greater the number of believers, the greater the power that could be gathered. With the range of Disintegration increased immensely, even Charybdis could be destroyed by this attack.

 * Melt Slash (崩魔霊子斬): an Overblade and Hinata's most powerful technique. By imbuing the power of Disintegration into her rapier, she could unleash an attack that combined both holy magic and her swordsmanship approaching lightspeeds. It's powerful enough to hurt Veldora, albeit just a little.


 * Melt Strike (崩魔霊子突): by imbuing the spiritrons from Disintegration into his sword, Granbell Rosso could launch it like a sword-beam. It is a level above Hinata's Melt Slash, both in power and range.


 * Saint Barrel (螺旋聖鎖銃砲): by using Manufacturer and Cook, Kokuyou can imbue Disintegration into his Head Shot bullet, before firing it.

Trivia

 * On some level Disintegration seems to function similarly to Nuclear Disintegration/Decay or Gamma Radiation, real world physics phenomenon.
 * In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Memories, the "Hinata Sakaguchi [Captain of the Holy Knights]" and the "Adalman [Wight King]" units use this as a Secret Skill.
