79 Dun Scaith IV
"Idea Force: Deus Ex Machina!"
"First Stage!"
Thick mechanized armor covered the entirety of Jun's body, bearing numerous magical energy cannons and missile pots along with two hute accelerator cannons and Maana Boosters that still enabled impossibly high mobility despite all the heavy weaponry.
The cost however, was a lack of melee combat capacity but when it came to long range firepower the current nox was a bona fide Machine God with near unstoppable might and there were still two more stages left.
Jun flew to the sky while laying down destructions and countless cannons before beams not unlike his Idea Breath at Scathach.
She did her best to dodge but that was all she could do.
The volume of fire and sheer power if would blast through her protections with a direct hit and even a graze was dangerous so she could only keep dodging while trying to figure out the way forward.
Jun however, was not just wildly blasting either, he was compiling information for Apocryphal truth to work its magic and predict Scatach's movement, thus enabling him to create a firing solution for his accelerator cannons to deal a fatal blow.
Still the reason it was working this well was due to Jun imbuing his Boundary of Nothingness into every single strike of his.
This power that could return all into nothingness would make any defense or counter attack meaningless, only a superior understanding of the arts like that Skeleton lord once had could allow one to stop it.
But Scatahc only matched him or maybe slightly surpassed Jun in that regard, which meant the next thing to come into play, their raw power would decided the match and Jun had far more than Scathach in that regard.
Scathach dodged around but Jun was not getting tired, he had Aurea Poculum supplying him all the magical energy he could ever need for a battle of this scale and so, a few moments later, blast of of Jun's accelerator cannon fired . . .
Scathatch, in a moment that left Jun in awe, dodged that certain kill strike, destroying its sure hit effects but grazing it with her spear that was infused with her unrivalled martial insight.
'But I expected that too.' Jun though and a shot for his second accelerator cannon destroyed Scathach's core, using the cursed effects of the "bullet" and Jun's own insight from Boundary of nothingness to deal a fatal blow.
Scathach laid still on the ground, covered in her own blood, the strike was so fatal Jun didn't even know how she was still holding on.
"You won . . . But it seems like I'm the one who go my wish . . ." Scatahch said.
"I never thought you could kill me so cleanly despite my connection to Dun Scaith, especially as you are now but as always, you surpass my every expectation . . ." She smiled.
"Ha! Keep dreaming!" Jun responde with a smirk and a magic circle appeared beneath Scathach's body.
And so, a few moments later. Scathach, in a brand new Transcender Vessel rose from the ground in utter disbelief.
"Congrats teacher! You're now mine for eternity!" Jun grinned as everything had gone his way.
"Hahahaha!" Scathach heartily laughed. "Maybe eternity won't be so bad after all . . ."
". . . With you by my side . . ." She added with a killer smile that squeezed Jun's heart.
"Let's make it official shall we?" Scathach declared as her clothes vanished into motes of light, leaving Jun in shock.
And so right then and there, in the middle of the battlefield where the two had just fought, nearly to the death, Scathach and Jun passionately made love to each other and JUn found that the Queen of Dun Scaith, truly was the best on everything she tried her hand at . . .

"Make sure to come and visit." Scatahch said the their naked bodies entertwined after their strenuous activities.
"What are you talking about? I'm bringing you with me." Jun replied.
"I can't leave Dun Scaith. You should know that." Scathach said.
"I of course know you and the Land of Shadows are tied together so since I said I'm bringing you with me, the Dun Scaith itself is coming along." Jun declared with confidence.
"He then explained to Scathach about his noble phantasm, Domina Coronam and how he planned to "store" Dun Scaith in one of its integrated reality marbles which was his plan all along after he had managed to gain Scathach's allegiance.
And so, one of Nox's golden rings became a red, bone like ring inscribed with primordial runes and Scathach got a copy of it as well.
With this three of the Ten Crowns were filled up.
*
Domina Coronam: The Abominable Golden City and the Seven Hills of Evil (UEX): Heptagon shaped flying fortress city of massive proportions.
-Seven Hills of Evil: Seven great flying fortresses and automata factories docked at each of the seven corners of Domina Coronan. Fully made out of a golden Orichalcum alloy.
-Ten Crowns (Incomplete):
--Crown of Babel: Peccatum Aurum: Grants a powerful Anti All Creation attribute to one's attacks and a powerful blessing towards the bearer of healing and strengthening. Also integrates all of the abilities possessed by Aurea Poculum.
--Crown of Knighthood: Camelot: Enhances attack and defense of the bearer and grants a powerful protective shielding.
--Crown of Undeath: Dun Scaith: Allows one to summon the dead from the Land of Shadows and control them to fight for the bearer and the ability to deny death so long as it is not inflicted by attacks of a level far surpassing that of the bearer's.

Jun already had ideas to fill in two of the remaining spots with his own noble phantasms in order to pool his power so the each ability could be drawn to its peak but he didn't do so yet.
He also knew for certain what he wanted to use one of the spots for but he was still unsure where he could actually pull it off. Camelot was still far from completed too so there was that as well.
Currently, Jun had four main things to take care off but he had yet to decided on an order.
One, the events of Fate / Grand Order.
Two, the events of the Tsukihime remake.
Three, the events of DxD, at least the first few big ones.
Four, progressing on the Akashic Tower.
For now, he realized he was in a very good position in DxD and since he could pause any of the three and jump to another at any moment, he didn't need to finish one in one go.
'I will leave Tsukihime for later since after the remake, things got pretty nutty over there so I'll put it aside for now.' Jun decided.
'Hmm . . . Maybe maining DxD while springing in some of the Singularities from Grand Order since I have a pretty sweet plan for them but I have to be very careful on that front.' He pondered.
'For now, I'll just relax in DxD where there is currently no great danger to myself and try to finish processing the materials for my project while challenging myself on the Akashic Tower.' Jun concluded.
I need the power I'll gain from it to challenge some higher grade foes without using plot armor which I'm not quite sure I have, at least not of the kind that magically solves problems without me doing anything.
There is one self modification I can do ahead of time, even right now though and is to integrate the Origin Eyes of Akasha.
I have the perfect use for them as they will synergize perfectly with my Apocryphal Truth Skill and serve as a good focus to use the skill's power more efficiently and effectively.
Jun took the two eyes and fused together with the crafting powers of Phantasmal Origin into a single eye which then became a third eye on his forehead that would open up with a vertical slit whenever activated.
The integration with Apocryphal Truth was seamless and even more beneficial then Jun was expecting. The result was as follows:
*
Apocryphal Truth (UEX): An imitation, a fake of the Akashic Records within the user's mind. Records the past present and future on a large scale and with complete detail. Only possible to recreate due to the user's connection to the Root.
Grants the user massive mental processing capabilities, greater than even the Moon Cell but requires the deadening of emotions an senses to use at full capacity and even such information is read, potentially overloading the users mind and body if such a measure is not taken.
By absorbing the Book of Akasha, the original language, the skill further approaches the real Akashic Records, storing the information in that same language.
-Third Eye: Drastically enhanced the range and effectiveness of the information gathering capabilities of Apocryphal Truth both in space and in time. Allows the user to see through any target thus figuring out weaknesses and hidden information.
The user can also see the the Lines and Points of Origin that all being that originate from the Root of Akasha possess. Just like how tracing or piercing the Lines and Points of Death bering about a target's death, doing the same for the lines and points of Origin returns them to Nothingness a much more final and complete demise.
Also, whereas there are beings that lack the Concept of Death, nothing lacks and Origin thus making the ability effective on anything.
Finally, the Third Eye can release a beams that triggers the Lines and Points of Origin thus allowing the user to return a target to nothingness by just looking at them.

"Well that was a lot better than I had hoped . . ." Jun said to himself.
