The rift's center

The Work of the Gods is the product of the Sickle of Sorrow after Black attempted to attack Vegeta with one slice. Although it completely missed, the slice was enough to rip a hole in reality. As said by Black above, this technique is largely unknown in terms of where it comes from. However, in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 video game, it is stated that it was due to his Time Ring. The rift is able to spawn multiple versions of him using the same sinister energy Black possesses. These "clones" are all equal to Black in terms of strength, but not in durability. However, this void will spawn more once one goes away, and if Black wishes, to create more. It also blocks any inter-dimensional teleportation techniques such as Instant Transmission. This rift will continue to exist until Black goes too far away, causing the void to disappear and in extension, the clones as well.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Work of the Gods is shown to create anomalies in time. Causing several enemies with similar evil energy as Goku Black to appear out of the portal. However, good energy can come out of it as well. As it is revealed that this rift is indeed from anywhere in the timeline. This is what caused Fused Zamasu's downfall against Future Trunks who gathered a large amount of spirit energy from several other timelines.

This attack utilizes both the rift and the Sickle of Sorrow, consisting of Black first opening the rift with the Sickle of Sorrow, then having the opponent being attacked by at least four duplicates then finally being slashed by Black with the scythe energy blade.

This attack only appears in video games.
