0-01, also known as Salinger's Blood Banner or Deity's Fallen Banner, is a Sealed Artifact in the possession of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It is the Uniqueness of the Red Priest Pathway. Its Proxy is Lumian Lee.

Appearance

A charred banner. The flagpole is iron-black metal, and there are a large number of dangerous blood spots on the banner.

Background

Beyonders with strength surpassing Sequence 5 are forbidden from approaching.

The experimentalist responsible for changing the soldier mannequins must be blindfolded and carry a lantern. If the lantern is extinguished, the experimentalist will vanish. Everyone who knows him will believe that he's long dead. If he's not blindfolded, the one who leaves the mausoleum will be a monster resembling him.

The exiled city of Morora on the surface often encounters extreme weather, including but not limited to hurricanes, torrential rain, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. There were originally no volcanoes around Morora. The inhabitants of Morora are unusually belligerent. There are numerous duels with fatal casualties every day, and protests and riots occur more than six times a year. The residents of Morora have no intention of leaving this city.

According to ancient texts, it has witnessed the demise of at least two True Gods.

Sealing Method

Place it in an underground mausoleum with a large number of soldier mannequins. Construct a cemetery with more than a million corpses above it, supplemented by a real city with a population of more than 100,000.

The underground mausoleum sealing the 0-01 needs eternal, deathly darkness. It can occasionally have light, but there can't be continuous light in the same place. When Beyonders above Sequence 5 with godhood aspects approach 0-01, 0-01 instinctively burns the area, bringing embers that can last for a period of time. This phenomena can cause the seal of 0-01 to lose balance and weaken, inducing the corruption of 0-01 to strengthen and spread all over Morora.

History

Book 1: Lord of Mysteries

Volume 8: Fool

0-01 is sealed in the underground of the White Tower, the Headquarters of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It was mentioned briefly during Klein's Apotheosis Ritual. Because Amon used the authority of the Door Pathway, all seals in the world showed anomalies, Lucca Brewster watched them, hoping to decipher some secrets and use them to invent some mystical techniques.

Book 2: Circle of Inevitability

Volume 3: Conspirer

At the end of the volume, Ludwig shows Lumian Lee the information related to Sealed Artifact 0-01 that he "stole" from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It is revealed 0-01 is named Salinger's Blood Banner.

Volume 5: Demoness

0-01 original proxy in Morora was Wanak. Red Angel via Albus and Primordial Demoness via Julie each have left a blood mark on 0-01. Lumian succeeds, leaving a mark to become the proxy of 0-01 at Sequence 5. As a result, he changed physically, spiritually and mystically.

Trivia

• According to Klein, nowadays the code of a Sealed Artifact is not related to how dangerous it is, they are serialized in the order they appeared. But the first Sealed Artifacts the Seven Churches had serialized at the end of the Fourth Epoch, were probably ranked depending on how dangerous they are, or how difficult it is to seal them. By that logic 0-01 is likely more dangerous and more difficult to seal than 0-02 and 0-05 in most cases.
• The proxy of 0-01 at Sequence 5 gains temporarily abilities of the Iron-blooded Knight, lacking only godhood and an incomplete mythical form. He could also induce aspects of limited weather manipulation and ability like War Cry and War Song to enhance oneself and team and weaken enemies. However, all this can only be realized in Morora. With 0-01 sealed, it cannot exert influence outside Morora. But the changes to the body as a proxy are real and irreversible: His body has become more robust and masculine. His spirituality increases by 40%~50%. His resistance to flames increased, Reaper blazing-white flames are needed for any effects.
