A Dragon Once More
"Well that was a lot better than I had hoped . . ." Jun said to himself.
The parts where he could see better, even the Lines of Origin which he already knew existed was his plan but the eye beam that could trigger then was certainly a welcome surprise for him. One he tested thoroughly before leaving Dun Scaith.
As it turned out, using his Third Eye to directly glare his opponents out of existence was a costly move and tended to work less if the opponent was stronger but even then, it cause great amounts of damage and could reduce an unbeatable opponent to a level where Jun could actually reach.
Returning to DxD, Jun now started to work of his big project. It was time for his draconic powers to return stronger than ever. He could then focus on interfering with various events without worry of getting clobbered.
After all, F/GO was a game, the changes were not small and Jun had perceived some of them through the Akashic Gate. It didn't look good at all.
Just Goetia, the first big baddie was a monster the current Jun could not even resist against, that's how powerful that meemed boss actually was without getting screwed over by game mechanics to make him beatable.
Then there was VII of the End, whose true powers were still unknown along with all the overpowered monsters from the Lostbelts.
Safe to say, while the Grand Orders had the potential to give Jun benefits he could only dream of now, they were also incredibly dangerous so he had to make certain preparations to ensure his success. Or at least improve his chances to the limit.
The first step, was increasing his true power through his big project while the second step was to complete all Singularities while passing as a very talented Magus rather than a being as powerful as a god. This was to fool VII who was watching carefully as to how powerful he actually was, giving him an advantage in the Lostbelts where he would go all out.
The third preparation was summoning servants. Both using Chaldea's system and his own but he had an idea to enjoy such benefits in a clandestine way.
Jun would summon the relevant servants he knew would be called during a singularity and then set things up so that the versions he had summoned would be the ones called, thus converting summoned servants easily into allies rather than having to convince them on the spot.
There were exceptions though. Servants directly summoned by the enemy would not fall into this category. As such, for example, having Mordred ready would allow Jun to make sure she was the Mordred summoned to the London Singularity but he would not be able to replace the Mordred summoned by the Lion King.
Another example would be Atalanta. While Jun could make sure to replace the one summoned by Jason in Okeanos, which he checked, he would not be able to replace the one summoned by Jalter in Orleans.
Jun had yet to figure out the limitations of this method but at the very least, he could also summon other useful servants and then call them using Chaldea's system so as to not ring any alarms in the enemy superior powers watching.
First though, it was time to create. Firing up the forges of his Phantasmal Origin, Jun got to work building his new Dragon Heart.
The core material would be the Dragon Heart he had Morgan extract from his previous body, he fused it with the Greater Grail he had gained in Fuyuki thus immensely strengthening it, he then stored his extracted blood essence inside, along with the remaining idea Blood from the Umbral Star attack, fusing the two together.
He then condensed all of it into a marble shaped core and fused it with his broken Origin Core of Sin before starting to work on the surrounding main structure.
A support was created by refining his bones, into a skeletal support and then a composite crystal would be used for the main structure.
Said composite crystal had three main ingredients, Saint Quartz, a crystal with divine power and a crystallization of concepts that decides many a future that was also called a pseudo-spiritron crystal.
Perfect quality and highest grade Philosopher's Stone and finally, Crystallized Lore created when history crosses great streams of Mana.
The last was artificially created. Jun created a powerful Mana Stream by expending most of Aurea Poculum's stored magical energy and then pulled countless records of Dragonkin from the Akashic Records themselves with his Root Access, creating a super Crystallized Lore of all Dragonkind.
Jun then enchanted the resulting structure with the Kaleidoscope Magic, using the principles gleaned from analysing the records of the Jeweled Sword Zelretch. Thus exponential increasing magical energy storage, production and output as well as efficiency.
Finally, it was time for an outer shell to be built. A cover was made from refining Jun's skin from his previous body which was veritable dragonhide and then, various records from defensive noble phantasms and self enhancing noble phantasms were fused into it.
Some examples would be Avalon, Kavacha and Kundala, Lord Camelot, Akhilleus Kosmos and much more.
Fusion with himself was a nightmarishly painful process worse than even the torture Scathach put him through but it was was far more than worth it when Jun looked at and most of all, felt the changes within himself.
Boundary of Nothiness (EX) finally evolved with the transformation, absorbing Idea Burst and Idea Breath in the process, becoming Beyond Nothingness (UEX)
*

To go beyond nothingness to grasp the truth of creation, striking with the power of Genesis. The ultimate Mana Burst skill that brings forth the power from the dawn of creation as far as the user's magical energy reserves allow.
*
There there was his new Noble Phantasm. Apokalypsis Heart: The Crystal Heart of THE DRAGON, so called because it contained the records and potential of every dragon to exist and will even exist, thus making it the heart of THE DRAGON, the incarnation of all Dragonkind.
*
