Oct-Genesis

The Oct-Genesis (オクト・ゲネシス) are eight artifact-like antique combat orbments each referred to as a Genesis, created as the hidden inventions of the deceased Professor C. Epstein.

Background
Each of the Oct-Genesis possesses Zemuria law manipulation artifact-level influences, notably towards the Time element and resonance of emotional Septium energy. Each also possesses different designs and main central color schemes (Blue, Red, Purple, Yellow, Green, Grey, Maroon, ???). Professor C. Epstein's last diary mentions them.

A Limited Genesis Watch-Keychain is available with the pre-order of a certain edition of Kuro no Kiseki.

First Genesis
This antique Genesis (Blue) was discovered by Agnes Claudel in a museum theft article in August S.1208 a period after she read through C. Epstein's last diary. On S.1208/08/27 Agnes asked the Spriggan Van Arkride to help her retrieve it, which they find in the sewers of Edith, hidden in a secret black market warehouse. When two Almata mafiosi attempt to kill the pair and take it, this Genesis stops time and causes Mare and Grendel to manifest in the real world for the first time. Also, it seems to be capable of undermining the power of the devils. This Genesis provides Van Arkride evidence of Professor C. Epstein's relationship towards Agnes Claudel.

This Genesis is the main device used throughout the storyline.

Second Genesis
This Genesis (Red) is used by Melchior on a group of Kurgha. It infects the drugged mercenary Aida and those around her, mutating her into the fused humanoid monster Aida Gura. After Van and co. defeats her, she returns to normal, but because of her extremely side-effected state requests for a mercy kill from Feride, which Van does instead.

This Genesis is used by Melchior to test the potential of fusing similar Septium wave organisms.

Third Genesis
This Genesis (Purple) in Heiyue's island comes into contact with Aaron Wei under the trick of Viola, mutating him into an ancient red-haired humanoid Heiyue demon. This Genesis is used by Viola and Alexandre to test for the potential of reviving lost deceased existences similar to the Immortals.

Fourth Genesis
This Genesis (Yellow) is revealed in Tharbad. Gerard uses it to mutate Naje Berca into, using the Duke's unique Septium energy wave, Tharbad's ancient mythical golden lion. This Genesis was used previously as testings around Tharbad for experiementing with imitating the Immortal system and improving biological organisms' potential.

Fifth Genesis
This Genesis (Green) is found at the Verne Company, where it enables the creation of a biological mind origin independent A.I. singularity and later empowers an Assault Frame.

Sixth Genesis
Agnes obtains this Genesis (Grey) after a battle with Gerard Dantes in Oracion's former royal family castle. This Genesis is used on a mechanical dial as an energy source for a certain "game" produced by Gerard.

Seventh Genesis
This Genesis (Maroon) is secretly carried by Melchior, it's used after Gerard's defeat to create the clock tower in Edith which stops time, places many people in time-stasis and causes the resurrection of the deceased Almata members. It is located within a tablet where Demon Gerard is fought within the clock tower. This Genesis is retrieved by Van and handed to Agnes alongside his Xipha after defeating the Demon Gerard.

Eighth Genesis
Color Unknown. Could not be discovered by December S.1208.
