54 Root Access
What Jun planned to do was to prepare himself fully for the connection but not yet go through with it, he wanted to set up the best possible foundation first, the reorganization of the core of his Null Myriad he had already done was one of the things for this end.
The first step was to take the spoils of battle and start using them. Das Rheingold was fused into Aurea Poculum, Shirou's right and left arms were taken as is but a change occurred automatically.
'High Compatibility with Scion of the Void detected. Do you want to execute?' Ahsaka asked.
Jun affirmed and the end result was.
Almighty Key (A): All magecraft in existence can be used at A rank proficiency without any prerequisites.
It was a devastating advantage that would help Jun in his endeavours and might even help him get something even better during the connection.
Jun's real prize however, was Legend of Dracula. He wanted to distill it into his own Idea Blood, making him a Rank IX Dead Apostle or a Dead Apostle Ancestor. Expunging a defect like bloodlust ought to be easy as he was already more powerful than the weaker Dead Apostle Ancestors.
As such, he would not suffer from the degeneracy that they suffered from. The only problem was getting rid of the thirst itself. Not the physical need but the psychological one.
'Don't worry. It's a mental effect and you're quite resistant to those, nearly immune in fact, so the bloodlust will not bother you almost at all.' Ahsaka explained.
"Mind and Body Domain huh?" Jun said out loud.
'Precisely.' Ahsaka responded.
Then all that was left for Jun to do was create a principle which for him there was only one, the ultimate pursuit, the truth. Not just reach it m«but mastering it.
Idea Blood: Hemonomic Principle, the blood that makes an Ancestor an Ancestor, said to be the "mandate" of the Original Cause, the Root, engraved upon their soul". A "Truth" that they have each attained, the worldview that makes up the foundation of their "thirst".
It can be called a Dead Apostle's thesis, purpose for living and their undying curse. A singularity that paints over the planet's physical laws just by circulating blood. Wherever an Ancestor asserts their Idea Blood becomes their territory, subject to the influence of their Principle curse.
It can be compared to a "crown" as the inheritance of the Idea Blood will raise the inheritor to a Rank IX Ancestor regardless of their original rank but they must possess a "millennium-class foundation" as a being of Mystery for it to function properly and be able to create and use their Bounded Field.
Now, Jun lacked the Millenium class foundation in terms of quantity but the quality of his mystery more than made up for it so there was no problem at all. This resulted in the skill . . .
Idea Blood: Hemonomic Principle (Truth) (EX) (Sealed)
'Sealed because Ahsaka determined it was too much for Jun to handle before his evolution so he decided to save it for later.
The final preparation to be made was the execution of Heaven's Feel and the integration of the Greater Grail into Aurea Polcum but in reverse order.
'After this is doen, creation of vessels for Heroic Spirits and they summoning ought to be much easier, as will it be to modify them.' Jun thought.
The results were expectedly bombastic.
Aurea Poculum: The Corruption of Limitless Wealth (A+ -> UEX): It possesses the ability to continuously generate magical energy and treasure like gold, jewels and even foodstuff or medicine, as well as all kinds of magical treasures and items at an extremely fast rate, containing unlimited storage for these things.
A Mechanical Guardian Snake whose strength increases with the amount of stored streasure and magical energy surrounds the cup, its name is Aesculapius.
Grants four powerful skills to the user at a rank equal to that of the Noble Phantasm's. Since all skill are meant to be at the EX rank, their true power cannot be properly utilized.
-Golden Grail Rule (EX): Extremely strong destiny and affinity to treasure. The wielder of the Golden Grail that symbolizes luxuriousness will never lack for money.
-Golden Apotheosis (EX): A body of divine perfection, not only in form but also in function. One's body is utterly perfect and one's physical parameters are elevated to A+. Skills that raise physical parameters are nullified but Noble Phantasms still work.
-Seven Trumpets (EX): A voice that emulate the Seven Trumpets of Revelation but in a corrupted form. Possesses powerful allure and holiness. Can reproduce the apocalyptic events announced by the real Seven Trumpets on a large scale. The Last Trumpet is a powerful blessing to all allies.
-Beauty of the Apocalypse (EX): Beauty capable of bringing ruing to the whole world and usher in Apocalypse. There are no other words to describe it. Can use pure beauty to seal skills and deal magical damage to targets as well as grant blessing to allies.
Heaven's Feel (EX): Allows for the modification of the soul with very little restrictions. Can apply extremely powerful blessing to all allies in battle.
-Cradle of the Beast (UEX): Capable of birthing endless copies of the Beast of Revelation, Beast VI so long as enough magical energy is available.
As for simply materializing his soul, despite the fact the grail could do much more.
The change however, was quite underwhelming.
Perpetual Soul (A): A soul that does not suffer the passage of time and is not bound by the existence of one's body. It continuously generates magical energy just by existing.
Shiki's body provided him endless magical energy however and his lifespan was measured in millions of years so he was not really worried but oh well, it was the last requirement he needed to clear.
'Ahsaka . . . Initiate the connection.'
'Understood.' Ahsaka replied and the process begun.
