There is some Judeo-Christian blasphemy in here, and a twist on the Biblical mythos. Hope you don’t mind.

It wasn't until a couple hundred years later that anyone really realized just what Samuel Colt had made. Oh, they found the prototype of course, what ended up being called the DemonKiller. Some fools even tried to use it on the Devil himself, like that ever had a chance of working.
No, the DemonKiller wouldn't have worked on Lucifer, or Michael, or Azrael, or Joshua. Or the Father.
It was Colt's rough-draft, after all. A work in progress, and he was making strides in the right direction. And then... well. It's not like God wants a weapon around that could kill Him. So things happened and the weapon got lost.
But things that get lost are eventually found, and Sam Winchester had long since misplaced his sense of humor and his compassion and his ability to forgive.
And it wasn't really like the world needed Lucifer or Michael or Azrael or Joshua anymore. So one by one, the last Winchester hunted them down to make them pay. Nearly a hundred years since his brother got beaten to death by the MorningStar, since Azrael collected Dean's soul and took him away, to somewhere Sam couldn't follow. After everything, separated for eternity...
Well, in place of his humor and compassion and mercy and all those other nice things, Sam had rage and hatred and an endless wellspring of power.
And the DemonKiller didn’t do anything but tickle the Devil. But the GodSlayer, that was another matter entirely.
And finally, God looked into the eyes of His own death and said, This won’t bring him back. Dean’s soul had been returned to the cosmos decades before, after all. God had spoken His commandment and Dean’s soul was gone.

Sam said, I know.
