Domina Coronam I

"Let's get to work." Jun declared to none other than himself as he focused.

Just like the time before the Umbral Ark, the Wandering Star Velber took him down a peg, Jun was once again putting all of his eggs into one basket that was Domina Coronam.

This meant that when fielding this noble phantasm, Jun would be at his strongest which would be overwhelmingly powerful as time passed and his sealed true body grew in power but it also meant that should he even be overwhelmed, that was it, everything went poof, game over.

On the other side of the spectrum, so long as he didn't field the core of the Fortress, he would be pretty much invincible as even the utter destruction of his terminal would only represent an inconvenience.

That of course, came at the cost of not being able to exhibit his true power both offensively with the Domina Coronam's powerful armaments and defensively with its virtually impenetrable barriers.

Even so, Velber had taught Jun not to show his hand to the Nasuverse or he would be royally fucked. As such, on completion, he would be sending Domina Coronam into the Root itself where nothing could ever reach it.

Only summoning parts of it when he thought the possible benefits heavily outweighed the risks or when he was sure that the fortress would not get demolished by an unexpected enemy with overwhelming force.

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.

*

That was the current state of Jun's noble phantasm. While the Crown of Undeath: Dun Scaith was already there in terms of imbued concept, the Crown of Knighthood: Camelot was just a transitional concept and not the final one Jun had planned for while the Crown of Babel: Peccatum Aurum needed to be reworked to function as the core of the seal and thus changed.

Jun entered Aurea Poculum in the Core of the Tower that was the Crown of Babel and fully linked himself to Domina Coronam as he prepared to use his Three Cradles' power to mould it into a complected concept.

He used the power of his corrupt grail to literally tear apart his own Saint Graph, namely, the small pieces of it that constituted his Phantasmal Origin: The First Illusion of Myriad Myths and Starchild: The One Blessed by the Myriad Stars noble phantasms. Each of these would be used as the basis for a Crown.

First though, he constructed the core of the seal around himself, beginning to activate the Tower of Babel as both his sealing device as well as the conduit of his true power.

While his true body along with Aurea Poculum would become a sort of power source and foundation for the abilities of the several Crowns, the core Crown in the center would be a conduit for the true power of Apokalypsis.

In theory, this would allow Jun to bring upon the END at whichever scale he desired so long as it did not exceed his maximum power at that particular instance.

Unfortunately, the way Jun was setting this up also meant the this Crown would be useless until his true body changed into the true Apokalypsis but that was a price he was willing to take as while it would make him weaker in the short run, it would greatly help him in the long run.

Thus, the Crown of Babel: Peccatum Aurum became the Crown of the END: Babel, losing all of its abilities in the process but still maintaining the abilities possessed by Aurea Poculum at its core.

With two Crowns down, there were eight to go so Jun moved on to his Camelot. The shift was an easy and meaningless one in the short term. Rather than symbolizing Knighthood, it instead symbolized Heroes in general.

Crown of Knighthood: Camelot became the Crown of Heroes: Camelot with its abilities remaining exactly the same as it was just a change of underlying concept that would only come into play later down the line.

But, in a stroke of madness, Jun tore one of his mightiest skills, perhaps even the mightiest, Beyond nothingness and split its three main abilities apart, granting one of them, True Severance to this Crown while leaving the other two for others.

Next up was the conversion of the extracted Phantasmal Origin: The First Illusion of Myriad Myths into the Crown of Creation: Phantasmal Origin.

The result of this change was the loss of all the miscellaneous abilities that made the Noble Phantasm useable for combat, turning it into a pure production based ability.

In return for such a loss, its creation capabilities drastically improved. While before, it was just a noble phantasm that could create other powerful noble phantasms, now it could pool all of Jun's essence and power into the creation of tools of overwhelming power and ability.

It could literally, create weapons whose intrinsic magical energy quality and quantity were equal to that of himself. In actuality it was more the ability to birth constructs from the essence of his entire being that actually crafting them.

While it took a relatively short time to describe all of these changes, they took quite a while and Jun was working within the Root of Akasha where time didn't really matter in order to not force his people to wait to long.

With four Crowns down, Jun moved onto the next. The conversion of the noble phantasm, Starchild: The One Blessed by the Myriad Stars into the Crown of Stars: Ark. This one received a much greater impact.

Starchild, while a powerful noble phantasm, was one Jun didn't find much use for unfortunately and now, he had a chance to remould it into something he found fitting for the current him.

Its current function was to reproduce heavenly phenomena which would grant Jun special blessings and abilities, only having reproduced three so far.

One of these, the Umbral Star that was based on Velber had accumulated a significant amount of power as it passively converted everything Jun destroyed in spiritrons and absorbed them.

Jun's plan was to use this accumulated energy as a means to facilitate the transformation he seeked. He wished to reproduce the ancient starry sky.

During the Age of the Gods for example, the Heavens and the celestial bodies were "closer" to earth and carried boundless mystery and magical energy, allowing for those with the ability to control and draw power from them to exhibit immeasurable capabilities.

Kirshtaria Wodime would be a prime example. While his Astromancy could be described as impressive in the modern day, when he gained access to the starry sky of the Age of the Gods in his Lostbelt, he gained the power to face Gods and come out on top. Not Divine Spirits, actual gods.

Jun wished to form an eve more ancient starry sky, a power with deeper mystery than the age of the gods, a power much closer to the Root of Akasha itself.

Drawing from his understanding of the dawn of creation provided by his Beyond Nothingness: Crossing Into Creation and sacrificing his Starchild noble phantasm while using the Cradle of the Stars ability of the Aurea Poculum, Jun created this primordial starry void.

It was a nascent universe that was meant to grow while never surpassing a certain grade of evolution. Meaning, it would increase in size and power without letting its nature change.

While still very young and far from a source of invincible power, with the Cradle of the Stars, Jun could accelerate its development so that change would be present in a timespan of a few years rather than the billions of years it would have otherwise required.

With this creation however, Aurea Poculum lost the Cradle of the Stars that became a part of the Crown of Stars: Ark.

All of it had a purpose however and by adding the Crossing Into Creation piece of his split Beyond Nothingness, which symbolized the Dawn of Creation, the very Origin of a Universe, Jun brought the concept to perfection, creating a perfect foundation for it to grow.

Having integrated his extra noble phantasms into Domina Coronam, Jun had partially completed five of the Ten Crowns, leaving another five to go. These five however, would merely be nascent concepts with limited power, at least when compared to what they would finally become.

After all, to an overpowered being like Haikami Jun, "limited power" was what to others could be considered an ultimate trump cards with untold capabilities.

Contemplating his about half finished work, Jun renewed his concentration and poured himself over his work once again.
