Most Powerful Sword in Fiction?

Which sword, from any continuity, is the most powerful?

Post a pic of your choice of sword if possible.

My sword creates life. Is there any power greater than that?

The Odinsword. Its made to fight celestials.

Sword of Omens, possibly?

@jayc1324: Didn't the Celestial, who was impaled by that sword, simply remove it and completely dissolve it like nothing?

The Anathame or Telesto from 40k spring to mind as being seriously OP.

@ordinaryalan: Yes but the fact that it impaled a celestial is very impressive.

Lightning Claymore +10

Death.

Sword of Superman

Sword of Swords. I just made it up.

While I'm sure they aren't the most powerful, I liked the swords that were featured in Secret Warriors, Grasscutter and Godkiller. At least I liked the story around them as opposed to the swords themselves.

@strider92: yeah any sword that can pretty much one shot a primarch is OP.

@hislolita: Is it like a sword within a sword 0_0

STORMBRINGER....

a sword so powerful...it enslaves its master.

This Sword contains an ancient dragon which exudes the power from its blade while adding to its own power by consuming the souls of the people it slays.

It has taken down Deities before.

(its from Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock.)

(Ohh a good runner up is Damocles, who shouldn't fear a sword of deadly prophecy.)

Aye! Tis so powerful its own sheath can be wielded as a sword. Which would necessitate it having its own sheath. Which would also be a mighty sword in its own right. Ad infinitum et ultra, dude. Ad infinitum.

Or maybe we can just get one of these doohickeys:

@hislolita: I think you just won the thread there.

Twilight sword of the fire demon surtur. Heralds ragnarak or something like that

It wasn't so much that as the fact that the Anthame has a haxed ability of being able to kill absolutely anything including abstracts as long as you know said beings name. Its like the ultimate plot device. As long as you know the name of the person you want to kill 1-cut is thing. Telesto is also haxed given that it can do an aoe attack that erase everying caught in the blast from reality.

@strider92: Which book is Telesto used? Let me guess Daemon weapon? or sword used to fight daemons.

It was used in "Fear To Tread" Telesto was the Sword/Spear of Sanguinus. It has the ability to basically removed anything from reality in a giant aoe burst attack. It was for this reason that Horus didn't want to fight Sanguinus and sent that big-ass bloodthirster after him because after the ability has been used it has a cooldown and Horus didn't want to go against Sanguinus when he could potentially be 1-shotted despite having the Chaos Gods backing him.

A shard of Telesto was also used in "Deus Exsanguine" and gave a standard Space Marine lightspeed reactions.

@strider92: lo i forgot about that. I have that book i just must have missed the part where it had that ability.

@eisenfauste: Nope nevermind I was wrong it showed that ability in "Deus Sanguinus" and "Deus Encarmine" although that ability was still the reason Horus didn't want to initially face Sanguinus.

@strider92: Okay makes sense, I was like I don't recall his sword doing anything like that in the novel :P

Hmm can't choose. Its either Ascalon, Excalibur, Vorpal Sword, SoS. or the Master Sword. Somewhere in those categories.

Any movie or TV swords from the east that you know of? Such as from Tokusatsu, Kamen Rider Kabuto's Hyper Sword and all that? I'd prefer those types of multi-function swords.

Would either of these be contenders against some of the swords that have already been mentioned?

Sword of Aeons.
