Following Caelan's instructions, the system panel immediately became blurred.

[Congratulations to the host, you have unlocked the SSR template: Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern!]

Looking at the long list of names appearing in his mind, Caelan's brain froze for a moment.

Who is this?

Illya's ancestor?

Forgive him. He was somewhat of a fake Type-Moon fan.

Then, the system information came.

A mature woman with silver hair, red eyes, and dressed in nun's clothes appeared in Caelan's mind.

She looked like a larger version of Illya, but more divine.

"The semi-finished product of the Third Magic, only one step away from achieving a true miracle."

Caelan also understood the woman's identity.

One of the initiators of the Holy Grail War was indeed Illya's ancestor.

An artificial human who inherited the will of the Einzbern family and made it her lifelong goal to achieve the Third Magic by reaching the Root through the Holy Grail War.

Later, in order to complete the Third Magic, she merged her soul with the Greater Grail. After several Holy Grail Wars, she never completed the Third Magic for various reasons.

She is proficient in the Einzbern family's inherited magecraft, the construction of the Holy Grail, the secrets of summoning Heroic Spirits, and the creation of spirits.

But, can this template really be called SSR?

The complete Third Magic of soul materialization can achieve a perpetual motion machine with infinite mana and immortality. It can also initially construct a Heroic Spirit body to perform all kinds of incredible miracles.

Such an ability can indeed be called an SSR-level template.

But this is only a semi-finished product. Should it really be on the same level as Karna's template?

Caelan was a little confused, but he immediately put it out of his mind.

Since the system has given this evaluation, it must make sense. Let's try it first.

While thinking about this, Caelan consumed all the remaining 700 million Berries.

Justeaze's template progress jumped to 7%.

In an instant, a huge stream of information flooded into his mind.

In a trance, he seemed to be brought into an extremely empty and chaotic space.

A huge deep vortex appeared in the void.

It seemed to spew out everything in the world, and anything in the universe could be found recorded here.

It was the place where all things in the world are recorded, and the beginning, development, and end of all things are displayed in it.

From it, Caelan saw countless heroic epics and countless world branches, including the story of Karna and Heracles.

"Is this the vortex of origin?"

Although Caelan was confused, he was certain.

It is the place where all knowledge is recorded. When you look directly at it, it seems to be omniscient and omnipotent.

Because the concept of the Root Vortex is to record everything in the world from ancient times to the present, from the present to the future, even including the underlying laws and secrets of the world.

Anyone who has seen the Root can glimpse all the knowledge in the world and become a god-like being.

"It's just that the Root I saw was not the complete Root, but the Root in the eyes of Justeaze."

Caelan was sure.

The true Root contains an endless amount of information.

The moment mortals see the Root, they will be washed away by its endless knowledge and instantly assimilated into nothingness.

Even if he had merged the two spiritual foundations of Karna and Heracles, he was completely powerless to resist such a vast amount of knowledge.

The Root he saw was only the Root in the eyes of the Saintess of the Winter.

This Saintess of the Winter, whose soul was merged with the Greater Grail, saw a glimpse of the Root during several Holy Grail Wars.

The only knowledge recorded in it is the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel, and Soul Materialization.

Originally, the Third Magic that the Saintess of the Winter saw was incomplete, but with the completion of the system, the entire Third Magic has been fully presented to Caelan.

Although only 7% of the progress has been shown so far, as long as the synchronization progress is pushed to 100%, the complete Third Magic will be mastered by Caelan.

"Although I have not yet mastered the Third Magic, my body has already realized the Third Magic."

Caelan immersed his mind in the system panel and observed the changes in his attributes.

…

…

The Third Magic, Soul Materialization, has two most important effects.

One is the materialization of the soul, from then on, the dual life of the body and energy. As long as the energy is continuous, it is immortal. This characteristic is also the cornerstone of Heroic Spirits appearing in the world.

The second is endless mana, which is a perpetual motion machine in the magic world.

The combination of the two is a miracle of immortality and eternity.

Based on these two core characteristics, Caelan, who completed the Third Magic transformation, has made great improvements.

Mana and durability were both upgraded from A-level to EX-level.

EX is not an exact rank, but rather unobservable.

Doubling A is A+, tripling it is A++, and so on, the '+' sign can be stacked continuously, but it is always finite and observable.

EX means exceeding the range of observation and even reaching infinity.

The mana has increased from A to EX. Although it is only an increase of one level, it is a leap from finite to infinite.

A-level mana can be said to be like a reservoir, with large reserves and high output.

The EX level has endless mana that will never be exhausted no matter how much is consumed. It is a true perpetual motion machine.

From now on, except for the Vasavi Shakti and the Twelve Labors, he can use the other Noble Phantasms however he wants.

Caelan felt the changes in his body and was very happy.

The characteristics brought by the initial fusion template eliminated his mana bar.

You know, when Heroic Spirits use Noble Phantasms, they consume a lot of mana. In the Holy Grail War, there are even cases where Heroic Spirits using powerful Noble Phantasms drain their Masters dry.

Before this, Caelan didn't dare to use too many active Noble Phantasms.

It's not that he would die from running out of mana, but the feeling after running out of mana is really unpleasant.

The increase in durability from A to EX also brought him huge changes.

Like his mana bar, his stamina bar is gone.

He could keep fighting and never get exhausted again.

Aokiji and Akainu fighting for ten days and ten nights was nothing. As long as Caelan wanted, he could fight until the end of time.

On the other hand, it is almost developing toward being non-human.

Caelan blew the hair on his forehead and lamented that his life was as lonely as snow.

The Third Magic deleted his mana bar and stamina bar.

His only weakness now is probably that his health bar only has twelve segments.

Although each segment is equivalent to two or three Kaidos, there is still a possibility of being killed.

So, when can we delete the health bar as well? Caelan thought shamelessly.

(To be continued.)
