A month has passed since Jaune arrive in Uruk. He has no plans of returning just yet. When Jaune isn't in the front line fighting, he is going around in Uruk helping where he can. Whether helping repair the houses, harvesting fruits from trees, or making weapons, Jaune would be doing something every day. Not once was he on break, and Jaune was enjoying it.
Though, at the moment, Jaune was inside the house that he was given to stay at. He was speaking to Alice.
"Alice, do you think I should integrate Avalon soon?" Jaune asked. "I'm now nearing the age of 19 due to my travelling outside of Remnant".
[It's the perfect time to integrate with Avalon. Normally, I would tell you to wait until you're at least 23 years old. However, due to your God Mode Manual, your looks will no longer change. With or without Avalon, you would look 19 years old till the day you die]
"Whoa! What?!" Jaune said. "It wasn't in the God Mode Manual! It never mentioned it! Are you saying I will look young forever?!".
[That's right. The reason it wasn't written in the God Mode Manual is due to it being irrelevant. There are people known as Cultivators in the world where it came from. These cultivators cultivate Heaven and Earth within them. At a certain point, they gain immense lifeforce to live for billions of years. So, not ageing look wise is not something they care about]
"So, I'll forever be 19 years old," Jaune said. "Well, it's not that bad. At least I don't look too young. In fact, I look like I'm 21 years old".
[So? Does Jaune want to integrate Avalon?]
"Do it," Jaune said. "If I would no longer look older in the future, there is no point in not integrating Avalon".
[Integrating (Avalon – God) in progress]
[Integration completed…Jaune has gained a new ability.
Regeneration – Due to Avalon being tied to Jaune's soul, he gained immense regenerative ability. Missing heart and lost limbs can regenerate at a visible rate to the naked eye. As long as the head of the user is intact, regeneration is possible.
Embodiment of the World of Faeries – The ability to Embody the world within Avalon. By doing so, the nature energy of the Faeries' World would give Jaune the power to heal instantaneous without delay and allow his body to perform incredible feats that would otherwise kill him.
Manifestation of the World of Faeries – The ability to manifest the world within Avalon to the physical world. By doing so, the user can create a domain in his control and eject anyone or anything that the user does not want inside the said domain.
These are the new abilities granted to you by Avalon. Embodiment of the World of Faeries is unique since it allows you to ignore the time limit of God Mode. However, when you go past the time limit of God Mode, your body starts breaking down. Avalon can negate the breakdown for you, but you would feel immense pain]
"Those abilities seem…good?" Jaune said. "No, not the right word…how about great? Still now the right words. How about OP? That's the words I'm looking for".
[Of course, it would be Overpowered. The version of Avalon you got is God rarity, after all. If you got the Demi-God, then you would only have the regeneration. If you got the Mythical, then you would only have weak, passive healing]
"The difference in each rarity is huge," Jaune said. "By the way, can I remove Avalon in the future?".
[You can. However, the process would be painful and long. Since it was integrated into your soul like the Talents. But unlike the talent, Avalon is a physical object, hence the ability to be removed]
"Alice," Jaune said. "Can you draw the Gacha for me? Please don't be trash, it's been a month, and all I've gotten are trash. For some reason, I have this feeling of wanting to blame Ritsuka for my bad luck".
[Gacha is now rolling]
[Congratulation! Jaune received (Impenetrable Mind – God). The user may access the reward within the Inventory]
"Woohoo! Something other than trash!" Jaune said. "What the heck is an impenetrable mind?".
[(Impenetrable Mind – God) is an innate ability that blocks anyone from trying to enter your mind. Illusions, Charm, Mind Reading, etc. None will be able to work penetrate into your mind, no matter how powerful they maybe]
"That's a really great innate ability," Jaune said. "What about if I want someone to read my thoughts? Would I be able to allow them?".
[Yes. When someone tries to penetrate your mental defences, you'll feel it. If you wish to let them in, then all you have to do is allow them entry]
[Would Jaune like to integrate (Impenetrable Mind – God)?]
"Do it," Jaune said. "As someone who doesn't like his mind being read, this is an awesome ability. I don't want anyone finding out about your existence after all".
[(Impenetrable Mind – God) integrating …Integration complete]
While Jaune was speaking with Alice, an envoy of Gilgamesh came and told him that the king was summoning. Jaune then followed the envoy. When he arrived at the ziggurat, he saw Merlin, Mas, Ritsuka and Ana.
"Have you called for us, King Gilgamesh?" Ritsuka asked.
"I wouldn't call for you if I didn't have a reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka," Gilgamesh said.
"D-Did he just say your name?" Mash asked.
"Y-Yeah," Ritsuka replied.
"What of it?" Gilgamesh asked. "If your name is worth uttering, then it's only natural for me to do".
"This is marvellous!" Merlin said. "Our activities have been acknowledged!".
"Your work was not that interesting in my view," Gilgamesh said. "But I'm sure you're getting bored of all the petty tasks".
"T-That means…" Ritsuka said.
"That's right, it's a direct order from me!" Gilgamesh said. "You should feel honoured, mongrel. Head to the city of Ur and investigate what's going on in that land. At the very least, do try to amuse me with your heroics".
"Jaune Arc, you are to accompany them," Gilgamesh said. "However, do not help unless necessary. I want Merlin to report to me how they fight and if they are worthy of my acknowledgement".
"Cool, that's not a problem," Jaune said. "I'll engage only if their life's in danger".
When everyone got out of the ziggurat, Jaune heard the voice of Ushiwakamaru calling for Ritsuka.
"Lord Fujimaru!" Ushiwakamaru called. "I heard from Lady Siduri that you're taking to the field! How wonderful. Jaune is even joining you! I, myself, must head out to the battlefront as a backup for Lord Leonidas. Best of luck to us all! I hope you survive so we can meet again".
"Same to you Ushiwaka," Ritsuka said.
"Well, now, I shall be gathering some forces myself," Ushiwakamaru said. "See you!".
Jaune and the others made their way to Ur. On the way there, they met dozens of Demonic Beasts. Mash and Ana killed the Demonic Beasts with ease. At some point, Merlin started narrating, but Ritsuka and the others just wanted to arrive at their destination.
Later, they arrived in a jungle area. There were no Demonic Beasts around. However, it was scorching, and everyone was sweating. Jaune, on the other hand, was not. They all stared at him and asked why he wasn't affected.
"Recently, I discovered that my Aura protects me from extreme environment," Jaune said. "Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat and at some point even Extreme Pressure. Though, it uses up my Aura. Thankfully, my Aura reserves are massive, and I don't even notice much of a drain".
"Aura? What's that?" Ritsuka asked. "Is it something similar to Od?".
"I don't know of Od," Jaune said. "But Aura is the manifestation of one's soul and can be used for a wide range of abilities. One such ability is to automatically block attacks, actively heal me when injured, and protection from extreme environments. There are others, but I don't want to list all the abilities of Aura".
"It does sound similar to Od," Ritsuka said. "Od is the lifeforce energy found within living organisms such as humans, animals and Magical Beasts. Once depleted, the Magic Circuits stored in the human soul will begin to replenish them. Od is produced as long as one lives, but the amount a person can store varies from individual to individual".
"You're right. It sounds similar," Jaune said. "However, Od can't block attacks, heal and other things, does it? Also, we don't have anything called a magic circuit".
"It can heal if you know how to do so," Ritsuka said. "By combining Od with mana, you can perform magecraft. This includes healing and other things".
Scáthach then came out of Jaune's shadows.
"Jaune, I can tell you're getting interested in Magic Circuits," Scáthach said. "However, it is a pointless endeavour, for you are a wielder of True Magic.
With that, Jaune dropped the topic about the Magic Circuits. While walking on the jungle they arrived in earlier, Jaune and the others noticed the shadow lurking. Said shadow then landed in front of them.
