Type Mercury (タイプ・マアキュリー, ^?), also known as ORT (オルト, ^?), is the Ultimate One of Mercury (水星のアルテミット・ワン, ^?).

ProfileEdit

BackgroundEdit

It has also been classified as the fifth being on the list of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. It left Mercury and accidentally landed in South America five thousand years before the Common Era in preparation for the promised time (約束の時, ^?) that occurs in Notes. The previous fifth Dead Apostle Ancestor sought to capture it and was killed by it instead, and a number of agencies have tried dealing with it only to be annihilated. It was decided that it was to be named an Ancestor after it was discovered to have vampiric properties. It has shown no current interest in damaging or invading the surrounding world, and it will not respond unless it is disturbed. It is thought that it has closed itself off in its sanctuary until the promised time. It was developed with the concept of "hopeless despair" much like a hidden boss monster in an Role Playing Game that is more dangerous than the final boss.

AppearanceEdit

ORT is around forty meters tall with a build similar to a spider.

AbilitiesEdit

ORT is one of the Aristoteles of Mercury, though Character Material suggests that it may not actually be the strongest being on Mercury by listing it as the Ultimate One of Mercury? (水星（？）のアルテミット・ワン, ^?).

It is covered with an outer skin that is harder, more flexible, more temperature resistant, and sharper than any other substance that exists on Earth. It is an attack-type life-form with offensive capabilities more powerful than any other being on Earth, allowing it to easily kill the previous fifth Dead Apostle Ancestor in seconds after being attacked, and it's very existence is above that of a normal being. It does not have Gaia's concept of death, which makes it immune to abilities such as attacks from a user of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

It can be said that it has no weaknesses while the battleground is Earth, though other Ultimate Ones have been stopped by methods above the existence of the common sense of the planet such as having concepts imposed on them or True Magic. It is able to partially simulate the creatures it preys on, allowing it to potentially mimic human speech if it devours a human. It cannot actually learn the culture of Earth, so it would simply remain as an imitation. It has found that the creature with the "strongest flavor" is the previous fifth Ancestor.

ORT's very existence affects the reality surrounding it, similarly to a Reality Marble, but on a completely different level. Much like ORT, the ability is a phenomena that exists beyond names, so Earth's magi call it Crystal Valley (水晶渓谷, Suishou keikoku^?). It passively transforms the area around ORT into an alien crystalline substance, said to be beautiful, but horrendous and disturbing at the same time, that makes up the environment it lived in on Mercury. If Earth is considered to be a massive Supreme Reality Marble, then Crystal Valley, as an "Innate Bounded World", is leaking an "alien system" to rewrite physical laws in order to create an imitation of the Supreme Reality Marble of Mercury within a small space. If humankind is considered what destroys the planet, ORT can be considered an invader that paints the planet into an alien world. The ability is supposedly activated by ORT's movement, and the area around it has developed into a structure resembling a spider's web with crystal towers formed from trees.
