Giga Slave
From KanzakaDex
The Giga Slave (Japanese: 重破斬, Kanji translation: Massive Destructive Kill, Romaji: giga sureibu) is a dangerous and highly destructive spell, one of the few which call upon the power of the Lord of Nightmares. As she is neither shinzoku nor mazoku, it does not belong to black or holy magic. It is Lina Inverse's original creation.
The Giga Slave may very well be the most powerful spell of all time, the perfect version's power annihilating anything unfortunate enough to be in its way. Even the imperfect version of the spell was able to destroy a piece of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. Casting the spell is very dangerous, however. According to shinzoku sources, should the caster fail to cast it properly or lose control of it, the spell would destroy the entire world.
The notorious miscasting of the Giga Slave in Hellmaster Fibrizo's temple shed some new light on the subject. As the Lord of Nightmares explained herself, the spell brings her in person, not just part of her power, into the world. If the caster then loses control of the spell, the world will practically be at her mercy. Considering the Golden Lord's capricious nature, such an event needs to be avoided at all costs; because of that, Lina uses the Giga Slave only under the most dire circumstances.
Even if controlled, the spell puts an enormous strain on the caster, draining her pool capacity completely, regardless of it's size. After using the Giga Slave, Lina's hair even temporarily turned white.
Lina developed this spell at a young age, presumably not entirely aware of it's significance. She used some chants taken from a Clair Bible manuscript about the Lord of Nightmares, and combined it with the incantation of the Dragon Slave, hence the spell's name. After learning the true nature of the Golden Lord from the original Clair Bible, Lina was able to perfect the spell, realizing it's true potential.

The above is the Incomplete version of the Giga slave before Lina fully understood about the Lord of Nightmares. The complete version is the same but with a few changes inthe 3rd line:
闇よりもなお 昏きもの
夜よりもなお 深きもの
混沌の海よ たゆたいし存在 金色なりし闇の王
我 ここに汝に願う
我 ここに汝に誓う
我が前に立ち塞がりし 全ての愚かなるものに
我と汝が力もて 等しく滅びを与えんことを!
