Fang Tian Hua Ji
The massive mortal polearm, Volund-forged to let the Flying General's unstoppable might cleave through gods.
Fang Tian Hua Ji is the legendary divine weapon wielded by Lü Bu, forged by the gods and later transformed into a Volund by the Valkyrie Randgriz to allow him to harm gods in the Ragnarok tournament. This massive polearm serves as an extension of Lü Bu's immense physical prowess and his reputation as the 'Flying General.' Unlike many other divine weapons that rely on elemental magic or complex techniques, this blade is defined by its sheer weight, length, and ability to channel the user's overwhelming strength into devastating blows capable of shattering even divine defenses.

Lore & Background
The true power of Fang Tian Hua Ji lies in its synergy with Lü Bu's unique physiology and fighting style. While other divine weapons often grant new abilities or elemental powers, this halberd's Volund transformation simply allows it to harm gods—it does not amplify the user's strength. It allows Lü Bu to move with a speed that belies his size, striking with enough force to create shockwaves. The weapon embodies the concept of 'might makes right,' serving as the ultimate testament to human tenacity against any god, as seen when Lü Bu fought Thor of the Norse pantheon.
Reader's Guide
Fang Tian Hua Ji originates from the specific requirements of the Ragnarok tournament, designed to match the legendary combat prowess of Lü Bu. Its mechanics are rooted in brute force and momentum rather than magical spells; it converts the user's physical strength into devastating cutting power. The weapon has no known limitations regarding durability or stamina drain, as it is perfectly attuned to its wielder's immense constitution. However, its effectiveness relies entirely on the user's ability to generate speed despite its massive size and weight. Throughout the series, the weapon evolves in presentation rather than fundamental function. As Lü Bu pushes his body beyond human limits during battle, the halberd reflects this growth, appearing larger and more imposing with each strike. It serves as a visual representation of humanity's refusal to be crushed by divine might.
