Black Scripture

Black Scripture (しっこくせいてん) is one of the Six Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy. It is considered the most powerful among the Six Scriptures.

The Undead King Arc
While the Sunlight Scripture was attempting to assassinate Gazef, the Black Scripture was protecting the artifact Kei Seke Koku and preparing for the resurrection of the Dragon King of Ruin.

The Bloody Valkyrie Arc
The Black Scripture runs across Shalltear after she annihilated the Death Spreading Brigade. Sensing the danger, one of the members uses the Kei Seke Koku to brainwash the vampire. However, she and one of her guards are mortally wounded before Shalltear completely lost her mind.

Principles
While part of the greater whole of the Theocracy, the Black Scripture has its own separate culture that reflects the edicts of their patron god. By the laws dictated by their God, someone over the age of twenty will be considered an adult in Slane Theocracy. Thus when the junior Black Scripture members go out on missions, they would wear magical masks to conjure a fake face.

Strength
Considered the strongest of the Six Scriptures, the Black Scripture consists of members who have reached human physical limits and possesses heroic level strength.The Black Scripture is the strongest of all combat group's working within the Slane Theocracy. Unlike the other Scriptures, each of its members focus on a specific type of combat or skill and is comparable to a whole combat group. They will usually carry out their missions alone, but will still work together if ordered by their captain.

The highest ranking and strongest members of the Black Scripture are thought to be demigods because of their immense powers and the fact that the blood of the Six Gods runs in them. Upon meeting them, Shalltear Bloodfallen estimate the strength of the leader of the Black Scripture to be superior to the Pleiades' Solution Epsilon.

Trivia

 * In Web Novel, Ainz resemblance the God of the Black Scripture.
 * The Captain of the Black Scripture considers Zetsumei to be the "Guardian of Mankind."
 * Zetsumei and the Captain are considered "Awakened God Kin", which implies that just inheriting the blood of the Six Great Gods does not necessarily mean that one would be granted their powers. Clementine also commentated that Zetsumei is "Atavistic" meaning that she is a descendant of theirs that just happened to exhibit the expression of the player gene.
