Noble Phantasm: EX

Class Skills

Magic Resistance · Dragon Heart: EX

Blessed by a Pureblood Dragon, he could render the structures and concepts of many magecrafts invalid before him. Through complete communion with the Dragon Heart, his mana could be released in full. This trust also granted him biological functions equivalent to those of a dragon; even without transplantation into his body, he could gain vitality surpassing his own limits, though it would produce an effect akin to a "Stand."

Riding: -

In principle, he could ride everything from warhorses to modern vehicles. However, the dragon was unwilling. Still, if the situation became urgent, it would likely permit him to ride something else.

Territory Creation: A (B+)

The Strongest Dragon excelled at constructing a dwelling belonging solely to itself. For a supreme existence that stood at the pinnacle of dragonkind, this was only natural. Though he had yet to take his seat upon the Pope's jeweled throne, before long he would become the unquestionable highest authority.

Character Profile

A man from the first century AD who promoted Christianity—the Holy Church—and an indispensable figure to the ancient Roman Empire. After hurriedly laying out the steps for the future development of both the Roman Empire and the Holy Church, he mysteriously vanished.

For many years, people believed that the contents described in the prophetic Book of Revelation had been written based on him. He had also served as source material for several novels and films, and quite a few people believed he was the Holy Spirit of legend.

His proper Class should have been Ruler or another special Class, but for certain reasons, he would basically never manifest. He would only manifest as Lancer, before Christianity had been established as Rome's state religion, and with numerous restrictions imposed upon him.

Personal Skills

Mortal Martial Arts: EX

A comprehensive embodiment of a series of martial arts, including the spear techniques taught by Lucius Longinus and Jacob's limbs. No matter his mental state, he could perfectly display the combat techniques he possessed. It was also combat experience engraved into his flesh.

Man of Salvation: A+

Due to his immense contributions, he had received divine protection. He could freely release light containing defensive and restorative effects. It was also an ability compounded with the Charisma skill; through his unquestionable ability to communicate, he could resolve the troubles of many people. Its additional effect made others favor him.

The "Mystery" surrounding his body granted him extraordinary defensive power, such that attacks below Rank A could not harm him in the slightest.

Vanishing Illusion: EX (B)

The illusions he had learned had been bolstered by an unknown power to an unobservable level, becoming a grand illusionary power no human should possess.

Noble Phantasms

Let Us Go Together Before the Fallen Holy Domain

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Country Noble Phantasm

The Book of Revelation · Pre-Revelation Scripture recorded: Then came voices, thunder, and great roaring. Since men had existed upon the earth, the Holy Domain had never suffered damage so great or so terrible.

It was unknown whether this Noble Phantasm had been sublimated from legend or existed in reality from the beginning. However, once activated, it could ignore any cost and bring about a three-minute revival of the Age of Gods within a designated area. During that time, his power would rival that of a Dragon Crown at the peak of its strength while alive. The spear's exterior would shine with brilliant radiance where blue and darkness intertwined, unleashing the strongest dragon's majesty—scalding like frozen ice and cold like searing heat.

Merely being designated as a "target" by the spear would plunge any enemy into darkness covering the surrounding space. Noble Phantasms and skills could not be activated, and the enemy's Mystery would be stripped away as well. It was a Noble Phantasm from which there was no escape once one had been locked on.

This Noble Phantasm had been created from the feat of destroying the King of Antichrist, who sought to distort the principles of heaven, earth, and all things and occupied the Holy Domain of Jerusalem.

It was worth mentioning that if someone struggled, strove, and fought for their own survival, he would set them outside the scope of this Noble Phantasm's lock-on.

Albion's Immaculate Pulse

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Self Noble Phantasm

With himself as the core, he released incomparable mana to form the phantom of the Dragon of Albion. Its entire body was made of mana and displayed overwhelming power. It was a wide-area destruction weapon whose offense and defense rivaled the original body. Unless an attack could truly destroy the world, it could not genuinely harm it.

While active, his range of movement was limited to the dragon's interior, but as its core, he could control it perfectly. Countless mana arrays would simultaneously unfold around it, allowing multiple projections of information on enemies from different times and domains. Using its body as a medium, it observed near-future phenomena and brought certainty into manifestation.

Though it was a destructive Noble Phantasm, it also possessed the power to heal all things.

Novia (Ruler)

Name: Novia

Class: Ruler (?)

Alignment: Lawful Good

Strength: C

Agility: C

Mana: C

Luck: C

Noble Phantasm: C

Personal Skills

Magic Resistance · Bible: EX

He possessed Magic Resistance comparable to that of a chief god from the Age of Gods, and all magecraft based on the "Bible Foundation" was ineffective against him. Magecraft based on other foundations, as well as anomalous magecraft, would be weakened to a certain extent according to the local spread and renown of faith. Anything connected to the planet would be suppressed and become his possession.

Once one fought him, beings that had existed in the West after the Age of Gods could not even approach him. Beings from before the Age of Gods would have their Mystery greatly weakened by local faith, and numerous negative statuses would be forcibly inflicted upon them.

To clarify, EX was not his limit.

Greece-Rome · Authority: EX

Having received the blessing of authority from the entire Roman pantheon, under such circumstances he was the supreme god-king of the Greco-Roman pantheon, which had once divided Europe during the Age of Gods evenly with the Norse pantheon. He was a possibility long awaited by Greece-Rome in Proper Human History, and no matter what realm it was, he would certainly be able to reach it.

And through the faith born over thousands of years, should he obtain the remnants of the Machine Gods' former bodies, he could instantly repair numerous frames, directly override their wills, control them, and consolidate their authorities. His power had reached a completely compulsory level; he could even establish a certain degree of contact with Chaos.

Independent Action: EX

He had absolutely no need for a Master to supply mana. Originally, nothing on this planet's surface should have been capable of binding him... His sources of mana came from Church faith, his own renown, the spread of Roman culture, and people who used the Bible Foundation—the combination of these four.

Character Profile

After the Age of Gods had ended completely, it was humanity's era. From then on, the human world no longer needed the immense power of the Age of Gods.

He had once said this to Osiris Divine Body, the chief god of Egypt.

"However, that way of putting it is not quite right. In truth, there was never a time when it was unnecessary, was there? So long as threats to peace and tranquility remain, it is still needed from time to time—just like now."

The first Pope of the Holy Church, who ascended to heaven in light. At the same time, he had used investments to turn Byzantium into a great city and thereby firmly control the eastern half of the Roman Empire. He then carried out a series of reforms, restored the Roman Empire's glory, and finally vanished mysteriously. He was the teacher of the second Pope, Nero.

Note: After Nero, there was no further case of a Roman Emperor and Church Pope being the same person.

Personal Skills

Holy One Pope: A+++

He possessed numerous special attack bonuses against "Demonic," "Divine," "Foreigner," "Threat to Humanity," "Beast-Type," "Beast," and more.

As the first Pope, every successive Pope believed himself to be his inheritor according to the records of Holy Church history. Therefore, after manifesting, they would all exist as a type of Mystic Code that supported the concept of "Novia." His mana rank had long since exceeded all norms.

Faith Founder: EX

The one who single-handedly perfected the doctrines of early Christianity. He shaped the vague into the concrete and could also be called the one who went from zero to one. Some even claimed that he was the Lord's shadow upon the earth, a second Jesus Christ.

Before this skill, he could grant form and personality to both intangible and tangible things, making incomprehensible existences easy to understand. In other words, nothing could hide before him. Even the highest-ranked bounded field magecraft could not completely rewrite the scenery in his eyes. Attacks without substance, such as illusions and black magecraft, would all become ineffective once seen through.

Mysterious Call: A+++

For three minutes, he could freely choose to assimilate the environment of a designated location into the Age of Gods. Within the assimilated territory, he possessed the highest rank of Charisma, a terrifying power capable of making even inanimate objects and conceptual laws obey him.

True Bloodstained Saint: E-

A skill similar to Innocent Monster, but unlike it, people had not defamed him because of it. Later generations believed there were indescribable hidden circumstances behind it all. Whether Empress Messalina had been killed on Emperor Claudius's orders, whether Judaism had been exterminated under his command in such a brutal act, or whether Nero's mother had died by his hand... in the end, his achievements completely overshadowed these dark matters.

Yet these were also matters people relished discussing, and they had repeatedly been used as material for several novels and films.

Primal Dragon Albion: EX

If summoned as a Lancer, it would manifest in a form where the two had fused into one.

A life-form that had existed since Earth's birth, possessing nearly 4.6 billion years of life information. Unlike gods materialized through human recognition or faith, it was a primordial super-existence. It would appear as his summoned creature, wantonly bringing down natural disasters that made even gods tremble upon the battlefield of the Holy Grail War.

Noble Phantasms

Owner of Sacred Secrets

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Person Noble Phantasm

He possessed every sacred Holy Relic of Christianity: the remains and blood of numerous saints, the true Holy Grail, the nails from Jesus's crucifixion, the thirty silver coins received by Judas, Lucius's Spear of Longinus, and more. Beyond that, if he wished, even the "Holy Relics" of all angels and demons could be created through this Noble Phantasm and exert their original might.

All saints, those who had received the grace of the Church or the grace of God, and even angels and demons could be continuously summoned as independent Servants.

Nay, Annihilation of the Firmament

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Divine/World/Annihilation Noble Phantasm

Though unknown to the world, the act of launching a fallen-angel rebellion against the one true God had already been established upon the Boundary Record Belt.

The sword in his left hand had been transformed from the staff once wielded by Jesus Christ. It manifested the power of angels floating in the heavens and displayed the majesty of heaven's glory. The spear in his right hand was the full-power incarnation of the planet's Strongest Dragon, radiating brilliant splendor like an aurora in the sky.

Both were divine instruments of miracles interpreted by him.

Through the many legends later derived from the Book of Revelation, it had gathered the concepts of numerous legends and even nonexistent weapons, further strengthening the light of miracles.

It was the final strike before the Book of Revelation's final chapter recreated the Holy Domain of Jerusalem.

It could shatter all things and inscribe upon every object in the world the joy that came from death.

Words of Revelation Holy Spirit

Rank: ???

Type: ???

Although the New Testament had not been written by him personally, it had been compiled under his leadership. Thus, whenever ordinary people mentioned its author, they would think of him, and of the Holy Spirit described in the final Book of Revelation.

Once this Noble Phantasm was activated, it became a pilgrimage stairway toward becoming the Holy Spirit. The three beasts of Revelation would appear first as food, and the end of the world that began with revelation was a Noble Phantasm capable of triggering upheavals of heaven and earth on a scale humanity could not handle.

As the process of the Book of Revelation continued, the scale of his Spirit Origin would continually rise, eventually reaching a scale comparable to the Savior Class.

This spirit that existed in the hearts of all things would gradually surpass the authority of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System and cross beyond the Counter Force. It was also the strongest divine authority, holding absolute dominion over all creation.

Shattering heaven and rending earth, destroying the world, creating a new realm, manipulating the circulation of all phenomena, and reversing time—all lay within a single thought. In other words, once he became spirit, he would be the Trinity wielding the supreme authority of the one true God.

However, for certain reasons, before reaching the final stage, he would voluntarily choose to destroy this enormous Spirit Origin and prevent it from reaching its conclusion.
