FATE of DxD

Telling them his story brough each servant closer to Shiki, being born without parents to love him was something even the more cynical Semiramis could relate with a care about, drawing a common point between the two of them.

When Jun told them they would be basically jumping around in time and space, finding trouble wherever they could and getting more powerful so that what happened to him this day did not have to happen to anyone else, they were quite excited.

Jun needed to recover though and think about his course as a lot had changed so he treated into isolation once more, into a reality marble made specifically as Jun's workshop.

Jun's Dragon Heart and Soul were safe, a scrap of his Idea Blood was also left but bearing almost no power at all. His Origin Eyes were intact but his Crest of the Truth was utterly gone.

The knowledge within was safe but difficult to browse with his current processing capabilities and the ability to convert said knowledge into power through "Truths" was lost as well.

Aeternus Eversor was shattered as was Tonitrus, only scraps were saved but their were filled with power as even some of the energy that destroyed Jun's Null Myriad left its traces within them.

Another badly damaged survivor that profited a bit from the disaster was Jun's Celestial Sphere, one of the only two surviving layers of Null Myriad, the other being Phantasmal Origin that was badly damaged but mostly functional still.

Aurea Poculum was intact just severely depleted as it was its power that allowed Jun to forcefully bring out his full power in that key moment but Domina Coronam's Seven Hills and Abominable City were in ruins.

Airgetlam had not been integrated yet so it survived without a scratch so Jun still had it as a backup.

Right now, Jun had a few things he felt like he should do now while the others could wait for him to go to the timeline of Fate to get some things.

One, find a way to recover as much mental processing as possible.

Two, repair and weaponize Phantasmal origin, it was a chakram so it had function as a weapon and could be be used in Gate of Babylon, Unlimited Blade Works fashion. And also repair the Celestial Sphere which is all that is left of my poor Null Myriad.

Three, find a way to cover the gap in experience he had with all the heavy hitters since he could see it become a huge weakness now that he did not have nearly as much raw power as before.

'For the third, look no further than the Akashic Tower you received as a bonus for your evolution. Should I tell you its functions?' Ahsaka offered.

'Please do!' Jun bade her to continue.

'It's a challenge tower with monsters, servants and even existences beyond them that you can fight and time does not pass outside while you are in it so you can train until you drop. It's not one of the cheating methods you so deeply enjoy but the experience will be very real as will death should fall.'

'Sounds like what I just needed but first, I must get an handle on the first two points.'

For the first, Jun recalled all of his magecraft that went into the Crest of the Truth and made something new out of it.

Demon Palace Laplace (EX): Records, stores and organizes all information from the user's surroundings. Grants the user massive, thought acceleration, mental processing and memory partition capabilities. If used on an active form, it creates a prediction model of all possible paths in any situation and deduces the best one. It automatically warns the user of any danger.

It was a much weaker version of the Crest of the Truth but it had to suffice for now.

As for the Phantasmal Origin, Shiki used the broken pieces of Aeternus Eversor and Tonitrus to repair it, passing on all of its still remaining power to it. Then, after a few alterations, the noble phantasm now had various capabilities it lacked before.

Phantasmal Origin: The First Illusion of Myriad Myths (UEX): The ultimate forge of noble phantasms and mystic codes while being a powerful weapon of war at the same time.

-Tracing: Can analyze and reproduce any weapon or, if given detailed information, produce a new weapon from scratch. Projections draw on it for power but with real materials, true items independant from it can be created.

-Unlimited Craft Works: Reality Marble and battlefield filled with controllable weapons where the user can fight with an extreme advantage. Projections can be fired like a metal storm.

-Wrought Iron Magecraft: Jus like Morgan acquired Rhongomyniad as a form of magecraft, the user can utilize any item within the records of Phantasmal Origin as a magecraft.

-Galvanism: Absorbs wasted magical energy and Mana from the surroundings to heal the user or function as a steady Mana Burst like physical reinforcement without the associated explosiveness.

-Apocalyptic Chakram: The ability to use the true body of the Phantasmal Origin itself as a weapon of untold power. Its true name release which would summon a gigantic Chakram as its true form is sealed but a useable smaller version is still present, hovering behind the user's back.

(The dimensions are the same as Ashwatthama's chakram in fgo but the design is black and gold with a draconic motif as all of Jun's current gear.)

Celestial Sphere: The Calamitous Starry Sky (A++): Can be summoned to drastically enhance the user's astromancy. Holds the cosmic power within it as the fake stars within formed embryos of what will eventually become real stars.

-Sagittarius (A): Precision shot with the power of the stars of Sagittarius.

-Scorpio (B+): Anti army attack in the form of a cascade of poisonous arrows.

-Umbral Star (A++): Using the cosmic energy that remained from the passing torrent released by the Umbral Star, a fake star of destruction was formed capable of unleashing a powerful Anti Fortress attack.

Good enough. The remaining Idea Blood would best be used later and though Nox had grown a real arm after remaking his body from nothingness, as a noble phantasm, Airgetlam would substitute said real arm when summoned.

'Can I bring others into the tower?' Jun asked.

'You can.' Ahsaka replied.

"Hehehe! Time for some intensive training a few of them are going to dislike . . . Is what I'd like to say but unless I give them a Transcender class vessel, they'll at most accumulate experience in battle." Jun talked to himself.

Jun gathered his Servants and began to talk.

"We're going to have special training today. Although I had originally planned to have you train after I had prepared Incarnated bodies that could actually allow you to grow in power, the magical energy I had in store was used up to save my life so at most, you'll be able to refine your technique."

"Still, even that has merit. Mordred, your power is being wasted with your rough technique, polish your wild style until it becomes a weapon worthy of facing your father." Jun commandaded.

"Yes master!" Mordred replied with fire in her eyes.

"Atalanta, you already have plenty of experience but you still need to get used to your newly improved noble phantasm."

"Understood!" The huntress complied with conviction.

"Jack, I gave you a whole new set of abilities you have to master. I know you don't like pain and neither do I but for our future, I have to inconvenience you now."

"Mhm! We will train to protect our family!" Jack exclaimed much to the warmth of those hearing.

"Fran, you also need to train with your new noble phantasm and you could use more fighting experience anyway."

"Mhm! I'll do my best!" Fran replied.

"Semiramis, I'll upgrade your Hanging gardens before we go train but you must get used to fighting without them. The reality marble I gave you allows to to enjoy the boost in your abilities without being in your Garden so you ought to get used to fighting."

Semiramis wasn't pleased but Jun's commanding presence convinced her all the same.

"Jeanne, I'll also be upgrading your noble phantasm so I'll see you after semiramis. The you'll build up experience with the rest."

"Ready yourselves! We'll say goodbye to this world and train before we get to the next. I'll have rewards for everyone that makes a good showing in this training period."

The Akashic Tower was truly a gift so good and fitting for what Jun currently needed that made him wonder what Akasha's take on his was.

'Akasha is an observer. Her help will be scarce but you can count on her never becoming your enemy. You have her blessing after all.' Ahsaka explained.

'I'll take your word for it. This gift though . . . It's really great." Jun said and Ahsaka also seemed to be in a good mood.

The bottom floor of the tower was a massive mansion equipped with the  greatest workshop Jun had ever seem and very nice living quarters for each of his Servants and more. Everyone could be teleported to the first floor as they pleased and could chose to form parties or go at it alone.

For this particular session, since the purpose was building up individual experience and getting used to their own powers, everyone, Jun included, were going at it solo.
