Alphecca Tyrant

**Alphecca Tyrant** also known as the **Unparalleled Crown of the Abyss**, is an Sacred Gear currently wielded by Meredith Ordinton, a member of the British Royal family. It is listed as one of the currently known 5 New Longinus.

## Summary

Alphecca Tyrant is also one of the Holy Relics alongside the **Holy Spear**, **Holy Grail**, **Holy Cross**, and the Shroud of Turin; the first three became the Longinus, True Longinus, Sephiroth Graal, and Incinerate Anthem. It itself is the **Holy Nail** used to nail Jesus Christ onto the cross, which was then used to make the Iron Crown of Lombardy, becoming a legendary relic among Christianity, then used in the coronation of Charles Charlemagne and Otto IV.

At some point, according to Grigori, the Crown of Lombardy disappeared and was integrated to the Sacred Gear System, thus creating the Alphecca Tyrant. It manifested into a lecturer, who had used it to brainwash and control an entire town of people somewhere in Europe. Some researcher from the Three Factions tried negotiating with him, but couldn't come to an agreement as the lecturer lost control of himself and committed suicide; then similar to Incinerate Anthem, it started moving from host to host.

It had soon came into contact with Meredith Ordinton, an illegitimate child of the British Royal Family, who's birth was concealed. Because of her past and abandonment, then coming into contact with the Alliance of Hell, who'd taught her about controlling and using its power, it became one of the new Longinus. Meredith soon started using it to control the British political and business world as MI6 tried stopping her, but resulted in her gaining control of their Sacred Gear users.

She later used the Longinus in order to help the Alliance of Hell suppress Issei Hyoudou's miraculous breast powers by sealing his sexual desire. During Hell Disaster, Meredith battled against Le Fay, as she attempted to use the Longinus to defeat Le Fay and her group by firing Holy Nails but had her Sacred Gear sealed by Le Fay using a special Anti-Longinus ring developed by the Grigori. Her defeat led to Issei regaining his sexual desire. Meredith was later sent to the Grigori, to watch over her and help her control her abilities.

## Appearance

Alphecca Tyrant takes the form of the legendary Iron Crown of Lombardy, which consists of a circlet of gold and jewels fitted around a central silver band, which tradition holds to be made of iron beaten out of the Holy Nails that were embedded in the True Cross when Jesus was crucified.

## Abilities

Prior to becoming a Longinus, it allows the wielder to attack using nails made from holy aura able to brainwash a person by making them listen to a conversion for several minutes and inserting certain keywords, however, it was limited to humans. At most, the Alphecca Tyrant allowed a previous owner, an unnamed instructor to dominate a single town. After becoming one of the newer Longinus, Meredith can also rewrite the perception and concepts of those struck by them, in addition to being able to affect and manipulate Sacred Gear users and even Longinus owners.

It was able to rewrite Issei's erotic nature, removing his love for breasts and perverted things, which basically had made him an entirely different person. There is also a chance that even Gasper might be manipulated too if one of his bats, which were his alter egos and thus apart of him, were affected.

As a holy relic, the nails created using the Alphecca Tyrant are also effective against creatures of darkness such as Devils and Vampires, most being eliminated if directly hit by them. Although they can be destroyed themselves by a powerful attack form weapons just as powerful as Caliburn. These nails can break through seals such as the ones used to seal Trihexa and drive the Christian believers insane if they look at them. Meredith can also create nails that are in the shape as blade-like weapons such knives or longswords. Meredith displayed the ability to sprout nails from various surrounding surfaces, akin to Sword Birth or Blade Blacksmith.

Based off its potential to control even other Longinus users, depending on the user, Alphecca Tyrant can be used to dominate or destroy the world using armies of Sacred Gear users.
