Hand of God

Hand of God is a technique in the Dragon Quest series. It is a skill that charges pugilism with the power of providence to smite the most dangerous foes, and is often the ultimate move for claw weapons.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

In the 3DS version, Hand of God can be learned by Morrie when you invest 100 skill points into his Claw skill tree and costs 10 MP to use. Unlike IX and XI, Hand of God is a non-elemental attack and will ignore the enemy's Defence stat, although it will not work on metal slimes. When used, Morrie will leap into the air and infuse his claw with the sun's rays before diving claw-first at his target.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Hand of God inflicts 180~260 Light-elemental damage to a single enemy, increasing to a maximum of 400~480 damage once the user's Strength reaches 800. It can be used by any character that has 'The Core of the Claw' item in their inventory.
