Invasion

Sign in to edit

Invasion「侵入インベイジョン, Inbeijon」 is the Magical Power shared by the Goat's Sin of Lust, Gowther and his creator, the original Gowther, of the Ten Commandments.[1]

Description[]

Invasion allows the user to manipulate the mind and memories.[2]Dreyfus commented that it may be the most dangerous of all the Powers possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins due to its ability to manipulate memories and affect the spirit.[3] Given its status as "long-range", it's stated that the user may be vulnerable to close-range attacks.[4]

According to Gowther, Invasion allows him to imprison an opponent in an illusion of their fondest memory. The illusion can be triggered either directly with physical contact, or indirectly by conjuring his Sacred Treasure Herritt, a magical bow and firing an arrow of light into the target. Gowther is also capable of releasing his light arrows without the use of his bow. While entrapped in the illusion, enemies are incapable of conducting any movement; rendering them defenseless to incoming attacks.[5] Invasion also gives him the ability to enter a person's mind and converse with their subconscious, though he can be forcefully expelled. His body is also left open to harm while in another's mind.[6]

As Gowther can probe minds, he can also discern lies, truths hidden by stress and/or repressed emotions.[7]

Since this power can affect the mind, it can be used to manipulate the body's nerve pathways, such as manipulating an opponent's movements, rendering them unconscious, or altering their senses to create illusions.

Techniques[]

  • Searchlight「詮索の光サーチライト, Sāchi Raito; lit. "Light of Inquiring"」: Gowther fires a small light arrow from the tip of his finger that allows him to invade the thoughts and memories of anyone it hits.[8] The ability also grants him access to subconscious memories.[9]
    • Broadcast「光矢伝達ブロードキャスト, Burōdokyasuto; lit. "Light Arrow Transmission"」: Gowther broadcasts his thoughts to multiple targets, transmitting information and/or instructions to them.[10] Gowther places one hand to his temple, using the other to fire a beam of light carrying his thoughts directly into the minds of his allies. The beam zigzags through each of his allies until the instructions have been relayed to everyone in the area.[11]
    • Playback「心象鏡プレイバック, Pureibakku; lit. "Mind Mirror"」: Gowther projects his own memories onto a screen to show them to others.[12]
  • Rewrite Light「瘡蓋の記憶リライト・ライト, Riraito Raito; lit. "Scab Memory"」: Gowther fires a multitude of light arrows at the enemy, passing through any shielding or armor.[13] Upon contact, Gowther can rewrite the memories of anyone struck by these light arrows.[14] However, this technique's effect is only superficial and the targets will return to normal once they realize the inconsistencies in their memories. Any new memories created while under the effect of this ability will also be erased.[15]
    • Lost World「消えゆく彼岸ロストワールド, Rosuto Wārudo; lit. "Vanishing Equinox"」: Gowther induces a loss of memory in the opponent who gradually sees his memories erased, starting with the most recent.[16] The limit of lost memories varies depending on the opponent's maximum longevity. Gowther can also use it to erase his own memory and block all his emotions.
  • Nightmare Teller「悪夢語りナイトメア・テラー, Naitomea Terā; lit. "Nightmare Story"」: Gowther induces nightmarish visions by awakening traumatic memories in the opponent.[17] Once activated, the opponent may never wake up from the nightmare[18], and thus remains immobile and vulnerable.[19] If the opponent does wake up, they will still emerge exhausted, both mentally and physically.[20]
  • Blackout「大停電ブラックアウト, Burakkuauto; lit. "Major Blackout"」: Gowther uses Herritt to envelop everything within a three-mile radius of himself. Everyone with a spirit level of less than 400 caught within range of the technique is rendered unconscious for exactly ten minutes[21]
    • Blackout Arrow「大停電の矢ブラックアウト・アロー, Burakkuauto Arō; lit. "Major Blackout Arrow"」: Gowther directs his Blackout technique into a Herrit's arrow that can be fired from his hands. After charging himself with his power he presses his hands together and fires the Blackout Arrow towards his target to render them unconscious. While strengthened by Merlin's Power Amplify spell, the technique was strong enough to render Escanor unconscious.[22]
  • Jack「傀儡縛りジャック, Jakku; lit. "Puppet Binding"」: Gowther takes control of the opponent's body against their will. Once under Gowther's control, the opponent is no longer able to control their movements and can be turned against potential allies.[23] However, this is ineffective against an opponent already controlled by someone else from a distance,[24] or against an opponent who would not need their nerves to move.[25]
    • Hijack「傀儡返しハイ・ジャック, Hai Jakku; lit. "Puppet Return"」: Gowther uses Herritt to assume control of artificial constructs by firing light arrows directly into their heads. When the constructs are under Gowther's control, they can be turned on their original masters and used to attack. Herritt bends into rings when this technique is active.[26]
    • Gatling Jack「傀儡乱れ撃ちガトリング・ジャック, Gatoringu Jakku; lit. "Puppet Random Shooting"」: Gowther launches a barrage of Jack arrows in all directions with no regard for anyone caught in its path.[27]
  • Breaker Off「神経切断ブレーカーオフ, Burēkā Ofu; lit. "Nerve Transection"」: Gowther completely paralyzes the opponent, for at least ten seconds, by severing the connection between their nerve endings.[28]
    • Sense Opener「感覚の目醒めセンスオープナー, Sensu Ōpunā; lit. "Awakening of the Senses"」: Gowther restores the target's senses back to normal after they have been magically altered.[29]
    • Kill Switch「魔力切断キル・スイッチ, Kiru Suicchi; lit. "Magical Cut"」: Gowther temporarily suppresses the opponent's Magic Power.[30]
  • Kaleidoscope「幻影庭園カレイドスコープ, Kareidosukōpu; lit. "Phantom Garden"」: Gowther creates a vast number of illusions of a select individual within the area of effect.[31]

Combined Techniques[]

  • Combined Technique: Celestial Arrow「合技 天空の光弓セレスティアルアロー, Gōgi "Seresutiaru Arō"; lit. "Celestial Light Bow"」: King uses True Spirit Spear Chastiefol as an arrow while Gowther uses Herritt as a bow whose magical aura partially surrounds Chastiefol. This combined attack can injure the opponent both physically and mentally.
  • Forbidden Spell「禁きん呪じゅ, Kinju」: A spell very powerful, strong enough to affect even the Demon King himself (Quite possibly the Supreme Deity too). The Original Gowther used this spell to make every single person who knew the Archangel Mael into believing he was Estarossa, son of the Demon King. It required the help of his own creation and even all of his life energy to pull it off, effectively costing him his own life.
  • Trinity Attack: High Tension Rush「三位一体合技トリニティアタック怒濤の乱撃ハイテンションラッシュ, Toriniti Atakku: Hai Tenshon Rasshu; lit. "Trinity Combination Technique: Raging Barrage"」: King begins by charging towards the opponent with Yggdra Cloth, while Diane performs the Drole's Dance to continuously transfer magical energy to them, and Gowther then combines Herritt's Tokusei - Han'i Kakudai with his Kaleidoscope, causing several King duplicates to appear and continually assault the opponent.[32]
