'''Sword of the Creator''' ({{ja|魔剣 天帝の剣|Maken Tentei no Ken}}, ''Demon Sword Sword of God'') is [[Byleth]]'s [[up special move]].
'''Sword of the Creator''' ({{ja|魔剣 天帝の剣|Maken Tentei no Ken}}, ''Demon Sword Sword of God'') is [[Byleth]]'s up special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

When the move is used, Byleth extends the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, reaching up above him. The sword's tip can grab opponents, causing Byleth to pull himself up to them, then leap off them, much like a [[footstool jump]]. This stomp behaves as a [[throw]] that changes depending on the opponent's damage percentage when it takes place; initially, it launches them above and behind Byleth with moderate knockback, but if they have at least 50% damage (or at most 50% of their starting HP in [[Stamina mode]]), it [[meteor smash]]es them instead. The meteor smash has low base [[knockback]], but high knockback scaling, and cannot be [[tech]]ed. When used on the ground, there is an additional hitbox in front of Byleth that launches into the grab.  
When the move is used, Byleth extends the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, reaching up above him. Should he grab an opponent, he will pull himself up to them, and leap off them, [[meteor smash]]ing them starting at 50%. It should be noted that the meteor smash is [[Tech|untechable]]. Its grab hitbox will also not work on [[shield]]ing opponents, akin to [[Fishing Rod]], [[Grappling Hook]] and [[Buster Wolf]]. This move acts as a [[tether]] recovery, and boasts quite a long range. He can also latch onto a wall, pulling himself up to and jumping off of it up to a maximum of 3 times.


In addition to the stomp's variable properties with the opponent's percent, its damage output is higher the more extended the Sword of the Creator is upon grabbing an opponent (in other terms, the farther away they are grabbed from Byleth). This is coded as a minimum of 6.5%, and can increase up to 13% at the longest possible distance, which fully affects [[knockback]] dealt by it. However, as the Sword of the Creator always extends at least some distance upon grabbing an opponent, the stomp's minimum possible damage in normal gameplay is around 7.8%. When using the move on the ground and launching an adjacent opponent into the grab, the stomp can deal damage roughly from 9.2% to 10.8%, changing depending on the opponent's size (larger characters are displaced farther when grabbed, and thus take more damage).
The animation of the footstool has only one frame of ending lag, which can allow for combos into Areadbhar, all aerials, or his [[Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven|Final Smash]] at percents below 50%, and his aerials at much higher percentages.
 
The Sword of the Creator's tip behaves as a [[hit grab]], so it cannot affect [[shield]]ing opponents, akin to [[Fishing Rod]], [[Grappling Hook]] and [[Buster Wolf]]. In terms of [[recovery]], the move is quite effective; not only does it work as a [[tether recovery]] with long range, but it also allows Byleth to latch onto a wall, pulling him up to it and jumping off it up to a maximum of 3 times. The tether can only grab the ledge 3 times, after which it will simply bounce off the ledge. This ledge grab limit is independent of the wall jump limit. The tether is unable to grab the ledge for 1 second after Byleth lets go of it, while still being capable of grabbing opponents or the wall. This means that Byleth can drop down from the ledge and immediately perform the move to always get the grab version. This allows Byleth to edgeguard from positions where the tether would normally snap to the ledge, as well as mix up the opponent with unexpected movement options.

Alongside [[Areadbhar]], and [[Failnaught]], the Sword of the Creator is one of the 14 {{s|fireemblem|Heroes' Relics}} in ''Three Houses'', regalia weapons forged from the bones and hearts of the holy Nabateans by the unruly Agarthans. In this case, the Sword of the Creator was forged from the remains of [[Sothis]]. It was originally owned by {{s|fireemblem|Nemesis}}, the King of Liberation, who fought against [[fireemblem:Rhea|Seiros]] and was killed in the encounter. The sword was taken back by Seiros and sealed away. One millennium later, Archbishop Rhea assigned [[Byleth]] to fend off an army led by the Western Church, who raided Seiros' tomb. They managed to unseal the Sword of the Creator from its hiding place and Byleth was able to utilize its power upon picking it up. After the battle, Rhea decided to entrust the sword to Byleth, which they keep for the remainder of the game. In a confrontation with "those who slither in the dark", Byleth got trapped in a dark void by {{s|fireemblem|Solon}}, and Sothis merged with Byleth to unlock the full power of the sword and free themselves.

The Sword of the Creator is a weapon that lets the user attack from 1-2 range. While the Sword of the Creator is in Byleth's possession, it grants them the {{s|fireemblem|Ruptured Heaven}} combat art, which adds some of the user's Magic to their damage output and is effective against dragon units. It can be wielded by other units as well, but they will not have access to Ruptured Heaven, and the sword itself will become much heavier and lose its ranged capabilities when used by anyone other than Byleth.
