Chapitre 93: Embarrassing Snag
As she watched her partner spiral down into a hurricane of useless thoughts and feelings, Ahsaka began to understand the human feeling of worry but sincerely didn't know how to deal with it.
No matter what kind of obstacle Jun had faced in the past, he was always looking and moving forward, learning and adapting, keeping his cool in most situations.
To see him genuinely stuck on something Ahsaka considered to be completely silly was shocking to say the least.
She knew it was an idiotic concern, all she had to do, was too show him that.
'Considering Jun's personality, I merely needed to give him a logical explanation on why he is being an idiot and he'll acknowledge it, moving forward without doubting his decision . . . The question is how . . .' Ahsaka pondered to herself.
Jun was being held by a stupid bout of self doubt and Ahsaka was far from being a being in touch with such emotions so she was confused as to how to get him out of that impasse.
Apokalypsis could both be seen as Jun's most costly mistake but also as his ultimate achievement. It was a path to unlimited power that came at a cost too heavy to bear.
Not wanting to pay the cost, Jun, with Ahsaka's suggestion driving him, conceived a way to to lower that cost which was the destruction of All Things into just the loss of his original body while only increasing the time he needed to achieve said level of power.
Of course, the time it would take would be untold billions of years but even if he never achieved that sort of Multiversal Energy Level, the obstacles that he would have to face in his path would require far less power to defeat.
Even Velber that sensing his potential threat sniped him from a distance he could not even imagine and nearly annihilated him, resulting in the loss of much of his accumulated power would be nothing but a small pebble in due time.
Chaos, the origin of the Machine Gods whose might was indecipherably extreme would also be a foe Jun could easily triumph against.
The True issue was, would they come to find trouble with him before such a time came as when he was ready to face them.
Ahsaka had told him Velber paid a price for its actions as they had consumed massive amounts of energy and could not be reproduced any time soon but Chaos was still out there in the Nasuverse somewhere.
However, this was all academical if Jun could not find it in himself to complete the planned change.
That was why the fact he was being held back by such a simple issue was idiotic since he literally had no future if he did not proceed with the change. He would simply devour everything, ushering the END and lose his Ego, becoming the new Akasha for the next Omniverse.
Jun knew all of this, he definitely knew, his attachment to his original body was that strong to still hold him back.
Ahsaka knew that he knew which was why she didn't even try to convince him with that path of reasoning as she knew how pointless it was.
No, she needed to find a new view of the body swapping that Jun had yet to think of. A new perspective on the issue that would change his opinion.
Jun had no problem being convinced by logic, especially he said logic pushes him towards the option he knows its best for him, even if he doesn't particularly like it so Ahsaka liked her chances.
After a lot of thinking in a deceptively short amount of time, she concocted an explanation that would no doubt persuade Jun. Not another way of looking at his situation but rather the pointing out to him of another situation that emphasized the idiocy of his concerns.
"Jun" Ahsaka called out to her companion.
"Hmm?" Jun stopped his tumultuous thoughts for a second to listen to his greatest alie's wise council which never seemed to disappoint him.
"You are worrying over the sacrifice of your original body, that you will not be the same afterwards, correct? That it will cause some, as you call it, "weirdness"." Ahsaka continued.
"Right?" Jun responded while trying to figure out where his lifelong partner wanted to go with this line of thought.
"Technically speaking however, none of the Heroic Spirits you have summoned are in their original bodies you know. They were summoned into special vessels that changed to better suit them as they filled them." Ahsaka informed.
". . ." Jun froze.
Time trickled by as Jun.exe crashed hard, mostly due to sheer embarrassment.
After all, he had been willing to sacrifice the benefits provided by his original body and was only plagued by the sentimentalities of abandoning it and living out the rest of his days in a body that was not truly his own.
Ahsaka's simply point however, highlighted his stupidity to such a level that Jun was honestly embarrassed to the point of wanting to trigger Apokalypsis and END everything just to escape it.
"Let us just forget I've ever hit this snag and proceed as if nothing at all happened." Jun said, greatly deflated.
"You're welcome." Ahsaka replied and went silent.
Having been slowly learning to feel by binding herself to Jun, she realized seeing him so utterly embarrassed brought her some kind of joy or perhaps amusement.
Jun however, rather than wanting to think further of the matter, was simply eager to move on effective immediately and so, he begun the creation of his new body, his terminal to interact with the Omniverse beyond Domina Coronam.
Only after downloading his consciousness into this new terminal would he finalize the seal and lock up his true body for good.
There were several routes Jun felt he could go. Limited as they still were, he had access to all the crowns except for the Crown of the END which bore the purpose of channeling the power of Apokalipsis when his true body's shift occurred within its seal.
Other crowns however, like the Crowns of Earth and Heaven already had considerable power and could prove extremely useful in the creation of a powerful new vessel.
It was then that Jun had a phenomenal idea. He would create the Vessel of the Ten Crowns but what did he mean by this? One might ask.
The Ten Crowns were to be the final form of Jun's power, at least he had intended for them to be so.
One of the major flaws Jun found in his past self was the hoarding of abilities and powers that he simply didn't find purpose in.
He followed the rule of cool, constantly developing new noble phantasms and abilities based on the fact that he liked their concept, even if he did not particularly have a use for them.
The Ten Crowns were to be his final form, a set of versatile abilities that would evolve with time to suit his needs.
Another problem of his was that he made abilities and items he simply was not able to fully make use of, wasting his resources and eventually finding himself losing said items and abilities when faced with an opponent strong enough to bring to the surface his inadequacy of wielding his own power.
The Crowns were meant as abilities with nearly infinitely high ceilings but whose power fully depended on Jun.
Never would they be too powerful for him to use and never would they become redundant and useless due to his growing power. At least, that was the intention.
The Vessel of the Ten Crown as Jun named it, was not be a vessel, a new body whose purpose was not maximum power but the ability to perfectly channel the power of the Crowns.
In other words, Jun intended to create a vessel that was a malleable blank slate and let it conform to the power of the Ten Crowns and his own consciousness that would inhabit it.
Basing it of the Transcender Class Vessel he gave his Servants that was built to allow them to be the absolute best they could be, Jun attempted to create a vessel just like it but, as he was not giving it to someone, he could not do it through the Akashic Grimoire and thus the job became much more difficult.
Jun however persevered and slowly but surely, consuming significant amounts of energy, he created a perfect empty vessel, the purest of blank slates, ready to be dyed by his color.
And so, without further ado, his consciousness flowed into it.
