Pantheon (高遠なる大聖堂(パンテオン), Panteon, lit. "Noble Cathedral") is the unique power, which was granted to Varvara Pilipenko after eating a peach.

Description

After receiving the Peach Blessing, Varvara awakened the ability to create a "space" around herself that gives her an advantage against those who are caught within it. This blessing is unique, however, in that its appearance and precise effects have changed over time.

As a child, Varvara's ability manifested as a large dark sphere of nothingness from which several elongated arms emerged. These arms were strong enough to easily restrain two adult women.

However, upon joining the Anti-Demon Corps and forming a bond with Kyouka Uzen, Varvara's blessing took on the appearance of a large cathedral devoted to Kyouka. Thus, Pantheon will have varying affects upon the people within it, depending on their perception of Kyouka. The effects are divided into four different levels:

1. Praise: If everyone present in the cathedral holds a certain amount of respect for Kyouka, the cathedral will heal and recover all those inside of it. For example, it put Yuuki Wakura at ease since he is a loyal subordinate to Kyouka.
2. Sermon: If there is anyone present who doesn't know a sufficient amount about Kyouka, all forms of conflict will be prohibited for 1 hour. (Which usually includes a lecture about Kyouka courtesy of Varvara).
3. Paladins: If there is anyone present who dislikes Kyouka, everyone that does hold positive feeling towards Kyouka will gain an increase in power everytime they show an act of virtue. Also, Varvara can grant all allies within the cathedral an extra ability.
4. Holy War: If there is anyone present who blasphemes Kyouka's good name to an egregious extent, Pantheon's miraculous power will intensify and the statue of Kyouka will come to life for the sole purpose smiting the offender. This ability was slated to be so devastating that even Varvara couldn't put it into words.

Additionally, only a certain number of people can be allowed into Pantheon at once. Those who performs acts based on the virtues of Honestly, Bravery, and Kindness will also receive a power boost. The Pantheon also acts as a separate space, with Varvara controlling who and who isn't summoned into the Pantheon.

Trivia

• The Pantheon is a former Roman temple that has since been converted into a Catholic church. The fact that Varvara's manifestation of the ability has changed over time is possibly an allusion to this.
