“ | That weapon will wipe her out of existence entirely. No Heaven, no Hell, just... Just gone. | „ |
— Lucifer Morningstar to Uriel in "Weaponizer" |
The Blade of Death, also known as Azrael's Blade, is the primary component that forms the Flaming Sword. To ensure that the Flaming Sword wasn't readily accessible, God divided it into three components, and gave the Blade of Death to Azrael as her main weapon.
On its own, the blade still possesses the Flaming Sword's power of eradication, meaning it can kill someone completely, their very soul erased from existence entirely rather than going to Heaven or Hell.
If the blade is in a far enough distance from the other components (another realm such as Heaven or Hell), then the other parts will be rendered inactive.
History[]
Misusage on Earth[]

Uriel is eradicated by the blade.
After God broke the Flaming Sword into three pieces to ensure Lucifer Morningstar didn't have it, he gave the Blade of Death to Azrael, the Angel of Death for safekeeping.[1] Millenia later, Uriel swiped it from his sister while she wasn't looking and took it to Earth, with the intent to eradicate their Mother before she could return to Heaven and destroy their Father. Lucifer, however, stopped Uriel and instead, reluctantly eradicated him with the blade.[2]

Dan Espinoza attempted to eradicate Lucifer Morningstar with the blade.
Lucifer buried the Blade with Uriel, until Goddess had her clients find it, causing a murder spree in Los Angeles, where the wielder would kill Humans over petty or serious grievances. Dan Espinoza got a hold of the blade and attempted to eradicate Lucifer, the person he deemed was responsible for ruining his life and eating his pudding. He, however, was able to fight the enticement of the blade when he finally accepted Lucifer wasn't responsible for what happened in his life and relinquished it. Lucifer retrieved and hid it in one of the walls in his penthouse for safekeeping.[3]
When Goddess informed Lucifer and Amenadiel that Azrael's Blade was in truth the Flaming Sword, Lucifer tried to ignite it, but couldn't feel intense emotional pain enough. He was in the end able to do ignite for a few moments, but couldn't fully activate it due to it not being in its full form.[4]
After Lucifer ignited the Flaming Sword with the Blade of Death and two other pieces, he cut a hole to another universe, where Goddess could start over. Once she left the existing Universe, Lucifer removed the Key and threw the connected blade and medallion into her new home to insure it wouldn't cause anymore harm on Earth.[5]
Battle for Supremacy[]

Michael acquires the blade to insure his victory.
Three years later, Michael wanted the Flaming Sword so he could guarantee his victory as God's successor. To accomplish this, he had Gabriel steal the Blade of Death and the Medallion of Life from their Mother's universe when she went to deliver a message that God was retiring and give it to him so he could ignite the sword once he retrieved the Key.[6]
After learning that Remiel betrayed him, Michael used the Blade of Death on her, effectively eradicating her from existence and, later, TJ Ross to acquire the Key that was in his possession. Once Michael got the Key to bind the pieces together, he ignited the sword in a final battle with Lucifer to decide who would become the new Sovereign of Heaven. The sword was separated once again when Chloe Decker removed the Key. After she gained the power of super strength due to the Key's power, she prepared to eradicate Michael with Azrael's Blade before Lucifer stopped her.[7]
Corrupting Chloe[]

Chloe Decker nearly eradicates Lucifer.
Lucifer then locked the blade in his safe with the Key.[8] When Chloe became addicted to the strength the Key gave her, she hid it when Lucifer intended to take it back to Heaven, as she would no longer have the strength if it went back home. When Lucifer discovered Chloe's deceit, she almost eradicated him with the Blade when he tried to take it from her. She eventually came to her senses and begged Lucifer to take the blade back to Heaven so the Key would lose its control over her. Later that day Lucifer would fly up to Heaven and return the blade to Azrael.[9]
Powers[]
- Eradication: When a living being dies from injuries caused by Azrael's Blade, their very being is wiped out of existence; rather than their soul going to Heaven or Hell, it is completely eradicated from reality. Even Gods are vulnerable to being erased by this blade. However, Lucifer Morningstar implied that only celestial beings (Demons, Angels, etc.) killed by the blade are eradicated, and that Humans killed by the blade simply die.
- Corruption: It has the power to beckon nearby people to hold it and compel the person holding it to fulfill its purpose: murder. It takes any reason one would feel anger, no matter how minor, such as someone cutting in line or leaving the toilet seat up, and amplifies those feelings a thousand fold, causing any person who holds it to go on a murderous rampage. Celestial Beings have the strength to resist its call, but most Humans are not quite as capable; it would take someone with immense willpower to fight off the blade's seduction.
- Pyrokinesis: The blade can ignite, although this capability is severely reduced due to not being in its true form. This is displayed when Lucifer held the blade while angry and feeling intense emotional pain.
- Extreme Sharpness: Even in the hands of Dan Espinoza, a Human, it was able to easily cut through solid marble.
- Power Augmentation: when it's assembled the sword could cut through the Universe and create Portals from other universes.
- Shape-shifting: Once the sword is assembled it will go on to become a full sword.

Trivia[]
- It appears that when someone wields both the Blade of Death and the Medallion of Life, then opposite influences will cancel each other out. When Chloe Decker wielded them in "The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar", she wasn't overcome with murderous rage or divine love.
