Chapitre 89: Gathering IV
Almost everyone freaked out at the sudden reveal.
After all, the object of their affection, their saviour, benefactor, whatever each girl saw Jun as, they cared for him.
As such, hearing that he was on a countdown to what could essentially be called self destruction, the kind that would take everything with him . . .
Well . . . Needless to say, the news were very . . . concerning . . . to put it mildly, very mildly.
Some of the less experienced of the girls entered into a panic which was exactly what Jun wanted to to avoid but even the more mature ones had a somber look.
Jun tried calming them down, being somewhat successful. While they still had their fears, they at least realized that their panicking would not help in the slightest and that based on Jun's attitude, everything was far from being lost.
"I know it was a shocking reveal to say the least but, like I said in the beginning, a solution has already been through up and I just wanted to gather you all and explain our course of action as a single unit going forward since it relates to said solution." Jun explained.
And remembering that he had indeed said there was a solution to his problem right at the start and that they had merely forgotten it in their shock, the more neurotic girls calmed down while the heavy shadows that descended upon the faces of the remaining ones also lightened.
"Basically, I'll create a terminal, a second body for myself while reworking my Domina Coronam into a seal. As it is a part of me, as Apokalypsis grows, it will also grow, meaning it will always be able to hold my true body." Jun began sharing his solution.
"So I'll allow myself to truly become the embodiment of the END but inside the seal, from which I can draw a controlled amount of power and thus avoid the end of All Things while attaining a massive amount of power in the process." He concluded.
"So not only have you solved the problem you even found a way to profit from it?" Scathach shook her head.
Her latest disciple turned husband clearly worked differently from the rest of All Creation.
"So even call us all?" Valia interjected out of nowhere.
"I'm getting to that." Jun replied.
"Before my true body inside the seal becomes Apokalypsis in its truest sense, the power I can draw from it will be pretty limited and since I'm throwing away this body, skills, that require it will be lost as well." He continued.
This would basically affect his Ideal Apotheosis skill the most, making him lose it entirely while also somewhat nerfing his Ideal Craft due the lacking innate mystery to make it as viable as it currently was. Hid other big skill, Apocryphal Truth however, would remain completely unaffected.
"So husband will be considerably weakened for a period of time." Morgan said.
"Indeed. An undetermined amount of time as well. It can be as short as a couple of days or as long as a couple of years." Jun confirmed.
"As such, I devised a way to both attenuate my weakness during that transitional period while also improving the power of each and every one of you." He added.
"Now we're talkin'!" Mordred started getting fired up.
"Well, I have to admit we haven't be able to properly perform our duties as Servants so being of help to you master, will be a most fortunate development." Atalanta, ever the straight laced huntress, commented to the agreement of Jun's other Servants.
Semiramis, while not saying anything, was one of the most pleased to hear that their power, which would include her power, would be needed.
Jun smiled at his Servants' desire to support him through thick and thin. After all, so far, he was the main force and pillar of all endeavours, making them feel a bit directionless and unnecessary.
"As some of you may now, Domina Coronam, my flying fortress city is still incomplete but, using something incomplete as a seal will result in leakage, the extremely deadly for All Creation kind in this case." He explained.
"That being the case, I'll have to bring it to a sort of preliminary completion." Jun added.
"I see . . . Husband's plan involved procuring resources in the following adventures to fill in its holes that were left on purpose during construction and slowly bring Domina Coronam to the state you envisioned, allowing its concept to change and evolve over time." Morgan started.
"However, as you need the concept to be solid and without holes for it to work, you are planning on strictly defining the concept of the noble phantasm, in other words, the meanings of the Ten Crowns right away." She continued.
"Then using the resources you are planning on acquiring later to bring to full power and completion, the nascent Crowns who despite their high level concepts will lack raw power in the beginning." Morgan concluded her deduction of Jun's plans.
"As expected of my dear fairy wife. You are complete correct in your deduction." Jun praised.
Morgan's expression remained the same, as did her posture but for some reason, everyone could feel a sort of aura of smugness and self satisfaction from her. Jun actually found the gap quite adorable if he was being honest.
"Now, as for what exactly I need from each of you, it is quite simple and easy." Jun continued.
"After I'm done establishing each of the Ten Crons' concepts, each of you will choose a Crown and bind yourselves to it. With that, Domina Coronam's power will flow into you. empowering you while the opposite will also occur, all of you will be strengthening my Domina Coronam as well." He explained.
"While I make the changes however, I want each and you to think long and hard about this. Should you choose to bind yourselves to Domina Coronam, our bond will literally become unbreakable." Jun cautioned
"Gone will be the chance to separate from me and even I will be unable to send you packing without wrecking my own noble phantasm which will result in the breakage of the seal so . . . It ain't gonna happen." He added and on that note, he excused himself to start his work.
Truth be told, most of the Nasuverse group, with the exception of the young ones who would not be making such a decision anytime soon, were pretty sure they wanted to take Jun's offer and bind themselves to his Domina Coronam.
Most of them were Heroic Spirits with enough wealth in experience to figure out Jun's offer might as well be the best deal they would ever get in their second lives as Servants while the others were far too attached to him to do anything else other that accepting the offer.
It was in the DxD side of things that it got more complicated as Natsume, Shigune and Sae were still far too young and ignorant to make such a big decision. Cleria, Lavinia, Valia and the Nekoshou sisters however, were fully intending on going all in.
The three queens of the harem, Penthesilea, Morgan and Scathach, closely evaluated the others for any sign of doubt or weakness. Even if Jun offered to take them all, they would not easily approve of those they found unworthy.
And, in their trained eyes, the three girls from DxD who still harbored doubts were far from ready for such a commitment, despite being ahead of some of the Nasuverse girls in terms of romance.
Then again, it was all subjective. Jun might not be going around making out with the likes of Artoria, Mordred and Jeanne for example but the trust and reliance he felt comfortable showing to them was far greater. They might not be in a romantic relationship just yet but they were certainly closer.
They said nothing however and just trusted that Jun would see it too and make the right choice. It was not like they would never be able to bind themselves to him just because they refused the offer this one time.
Even then, they were determined to advise Jun if his choices veered off "the path". He unfortunately had an history of unpredictability that made it hard to just let go and leave it all up to him.
But, even if that wasn't the case, the three would not be asserting themselves as Jun's wives and queens if they lacked the will to share his burden.
They had taken upon themselves to remind Jun of himself should he stray too far from his own path and to support him in his decision while not forgetting to advise and admonish him when they felt it was necessary.
As for Jun himself, he floated quietly in the center of Domina Coronam, ready to fully shape its nascent for so that even despite being preliminarily completed, it would still be capable of evolving into the shape he originally envisioned or perhaps even go further beyond.
"Let's get to work."
