"Lord of Mysteries is the title of the Great Old One of the Fool, Error, and Door Pathways.
This Great Old One is one of the three Pillars."
∞↓↓↓SYMBOLS, AUTHORITIES & ABILITIES↓↓↓∞
"They" possess full Authority over the Fool, Error, and Door Pathways and the corresponding Symbols, which include but are not limited to the following:
∞ FOOL: Authorities and the surface level symbolisms of Fooling, Reassembly, Miracles, Anchor of Destiny, and History.
∞ ERROR: Authorities and the surface level symbolisms of Errors, Time, Theft, Destiny, and Deceit.
∞ DOOR: Authorities and the surface level symbolisms of Doors, Space, Alternate Worlds, Position, and Replication.
The Lord of Mysteries is the best and most proficient at utilizing symbolism. As such, the Pathways under "Them" naturally are able to use surface level symbolism application of their authorities.[3]
High-level Fool, Door, and Error Beyonders are the best at using mysticism similarities and loopholes.[4]
«Note: A Pathway having certain symbolism doesn't mean at the level of Above the Sequence that it entirely stems from that Pathway. It might stem from the entire group or certain parts from it.»
The Symbols, Authorities, and Abilities "They" possess and display at the Above the Sequence level include:
∞ DOMINATOR OF THE SPIRIT WORLD: The most important symbolism of the Lord of Mysteries is "Their" symbolism as a Pillar. "They" symbolize and are the controller of the Spirit World, one of the three layers of the world.
A Pillar is slightly stronger but has no fundamental difference compared to the other Great Old Ones. In general, by relying on the unique symbolism of a Pillar, "They" will have the status and power to contend with two other Great Old Ones at most.[5]
However, for the Lord of Mysteries who is capable of achieving Omnipresence state through Blink, Marionettes, Avatars, etc., as long as there is no Great Old Ones with specific symbols or abilities that counter "Their" specialty, there is no fundamental difference between battling two, eight, or countless Great Old Ones.[5][6]
Even though Sefirot and Uniquenesses can only be used by one Marionette or Avatar at a time, "They" can still fight multiple opponents by relying on the Door Pathway to control various battlefields and then use Marionettes and Avatars in different battlefields to interfere and affect with "Their" enemies.[7]
"They" would undoubtedly be able to hold off the Goddess of Fate, Supernova Dominator, Mother Tree of Desire (without the Source of Curses symbolism), and Circle of Inevitability on "Their" own at the same time.
While "They" might not secure a decisive victory, "They" would certainly not lose or allow "Their" enemies disrupt other battlefields significantly.[8]
If the battlefield contained a single Great Old Dominator that could render the ubiquitous nature of "Their" avatars ineffective, "They" would have to rely on "Their" true body in combat, and could only leverage Pillar symbolisms while contending with an additional Great Old One.[8]
Unlike normal Great Old Ones who can have "Their" will shattered—like how the Sefirot had "Their" wills shattered by the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings and the Primordial God Almighty in the First Epoch[9]—the will of a Pillar cannot be shattered, even by another Pillar.[10]
"They" can Seal the entire Spirit World across the whole universe, severing others' connections and influence over it, ensuring that for a set period, no creature can enter or utilize the Spirit World without "Their" permission.
This renders all abilities, authorities, and symbols related to the Spirit World ineffective,[8] as well as blinding other creatures, including other Great Old Ones, to spiritual premonitions, making "Them" unable to gather information from the Spirit World.[11]
"Their" Seal over the Spirit World could block other Great Old Dominators from entering, but could not prevent a Great Old Dominator inside from leaving or breaking the seal.[12]
The Goddess of Fate could leave the Spirit World through the River of Fate but could not use it to enter the Spirit World.
The Supernova Dominator would be able to break through the Spirit World's Seal with "His" attacks from the inside.
"They" are able to utilize the power within the Spirit World to achieve different effects.
The Lord of Mysteries can use the power of the Spirit World to allow subordinates to surpass their current characteristic level. This is similar to granting Boons.[13]
The upper limit that "They" could grant is a King of Angels level, this is the same way Spirit World Creatures get their power, level, and status.
When fighting within the Spirit World, the Lord of Mysteries can generally mobilize the entire Spirit World's power to attack.[14]
If information is not hidden, as the Dominator of the Spirit World, "They" can theoretically see and know every piece of information within the Spirit World.[15]
The Lord of Mysteries can instantly receive information of the events happening in a different, significantly distant Star Dominion from the Spirit World.[11]
This lets "Them" effectively shift "Their" focus accordingly to any change in the battlefield.
∞ DECRYPTION & TRAVELING: The Decryption power of the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway leverages the Spirit World, and the Door Symbol2 Door Pathway primarily utilizes the Spirit World for Travelling.[16] "They" can combine these powers and authorities to crack open secrets and invade other protected realms.
The Dual-Pathway True God Amon combined the Decryption power from the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway and the authority over Positions from the Door Symbol2 Door Pathway to crack the secrets of The Fool's Divine Kingdom, the Realm of Mysteries.[17]
Amon made countless symbols, patterns, and labels appeared. They moved quickly, interweaving, reforming, or changing, as though they were making calculations, before they formed the scene of Klein's true location.
By making the Celestial Worthy awaken to a certain extent, using the Door Symbol2 Door authority to go anywhere, and creating a back door and using Bugs, the Dual-Pathway True God Amon can invade Sefirah Castle and make it treat "Him" as the Lord of Mysteries and give "Him" the corresponding authority.[18]
∞ REPLICATION / RECREATION: An authority related to the Spirit World.[19] "They" can Replicate the powers of other Pathways.
Because Replication is brought about by the Inconceivable symbolism, a Sequence 0: Door can Replicate Authorities of another Pathway's Sequence 0.[20] However, the Lord of Mysteries cannot copy the Symbols of Great Old Ones.[21]
Examples of Replication include:
Klein Replicated the Distortion power from the Black Emperor Pathway, and used it to influence the contract drafted by the Primordial God Almighty.[22]
Klein could have Replicated the Balancing abilities of the Justiciar Pathway to evenly split forces across battlegrounds, but this would have had limited effect on the Great Old Dominators and would have hindered his ability to intervene in the other battlefield.[23]
If the plan with Lumian Lee and Evernight Goddess to create a power akin to the Fourth Pillar to annihilate both the Monarch of Decay and Lumian, along with the other consciousnesses inside Lumian, had gone as expected, the Lord of Mysteries Klein would have Replicated New Birth, employed Grafting, and other methods to potentially save Lumian.[24]
Among the three Pathways of the Lord of Mysteries, the Fool Symbol2 Fool Pathway wields the biggest portion of this symbolism.
Compared to the Door Symbol2 Door Pathway that merely uses the Spirit World for Traveling and the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway that uses the Spirit World for Decryption and influencing the Body of Heart and Mind, the Fool Symbol2 Fool Pathway controls the majority of the Spirit World authorities, being almost akin to a lesser Lord of the Spirit World.[16]
∞ INCONCEIVABLE / BIZARRENESS: A symbolism corresponding to one of the Original Creator's labels.[25] It can make things originally impossible to achieve realized to a certain extent.[26]
The Original Creator is the 'Exception', the 'Inconceivable', the 'Incomprehensible', the 'Indescribable'. All things that shouldn't happen might happen when encountering "Him"—unknowable, undiscussable, unnameable.[27] The Inconceivable is one of "His" labels, inherited by the Lord of Mysteries.[25]
The Mysteries in the Lord of Mysteries title points directly to the Original Creator's aspects of Unknowable, Unnameable.[28] As a result, "They" symbolize the Inconceivable.[29]
Because the Inconceivable is one of the Original Creator's labels, the Lord of Mysteries, like the God Almighty and the Mother Goddess of Depravity, can briefly tap into a bit of the Original Creator's power.[25]
Since Bizarreness is also called The Inconceivable, it inherently contains the concept of the Incomprehensible. That is, it naturally carries a certain degree of Secret/Concealment.[16]
The Secret part of the Fool Symbol2 Fool symbol actually originates from this; it is a manifestation of Bizarreness.
The Inconceivable symbolism, brought through the Special Mirror World by the Celestial Worthy's interference via Bethel Abraham, combined with other factors made it possible for the Mirrored Original Creator to be born.[30][31]
Depending on the situation, the Lord of Mysteries can utilize the Inconceivable to make "Their" symbolism somewhat less susceptible to being countered, similar to The Omnipotent and Omniscient of the God Almighty.[32]
"Their" Change and Bizarreness symbols are intrinsically connected: one is a transformation that can be understood, while the other is one that cannot be described or reasoned out.[16]
Error plus Miracles is the foundation upon which Change can ascend to become Inconceivable Symbolism.[33]
∞ ERROR & LOOPHOLES (Bug): One of the two foundations that ascend Change into becoming Inconceivable.[33] "They" are the symbol of Errors and Loopholes[34]—the Loopholes in rules, the manifestation of all Errors. Thus, "They" are the expert at exploiting Loopholes and grasping the problem.[35][36][37][38]
In The Fool's Dream, the master of the dream city was a symbol of Loopholes and Errors, so no matter how real this dream is, there will still be inconsistencies, Loopholes, and places that make people feel terrified upon deep thought. It will still express the "dream" aspect.[34]
Klein relied on the shared authority between him and the Circle of Inevitability to devise a vague and inaccurate Honorific Name that could refer to both of them. He also designed a ritual that allowed Lumian to automatically extract power from Termiboros every time he carried out the ritual without Klein's explicit attention through a 'back door' that has already been opened.[35]
When Lumian Lee's destiny was sealed, and his madness was unavoidable, even a Miracle could not fully reverse it. As such, the only option was to exploit Loopholes and lower the difficulty of the Wish, granting Lumian occasional "moments of clarity, rationality, and humanity" during madness. As for how "occasional" was defined, that was left to Fooling and Error to decide.[39]
The exploited Loophole was that nothing dictated that inevitable madness precluded occasional moments of lucidity.
If the Mother Goddess of Depravity used the Rebirth symbolism on "Herself" when accommodating the Brood Hive, Klein could use the Error or Fooling symbolism to Fool the target of Rebirth, causing the Brood Hive's consciousness to be reborn within the Mother Goddess of Depravity, thereby making "Her" fall into internal conflict.[40]
By using the authority of the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway and with a suitable medium, "They" can elevate the mystical connection between two separate entities that were originally one into a connection akin to that between an avatar and its true body, or oneself and oneself—allowing the damage and consequences experienced by one to be transmitted to the other.[11]
After borrowing the authority of the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway from Klein, Amon was able to "reconstruct" the mystical connections between:
The Genie and the Uncertain Mist, using the Black Emperor Roselle Gustav (with corruptions from both the Uncertain Mist and the Nation of Disorder) as a medium.[41]
The Tenebrous World and the Mother Tree of Desire, using the Chained Symbol2 Chained Uniqueness (which was deeply corrupted by the Mother Tree of Desire[42]) as a medium.[43][11]
Error can make the Reality shaking equivalent to the Sovereign of Reality taking severe damage.[44]
Errors counters Destined of the Circle of Inevitability.[8]
Errors fall outside the scope of "All Things", thus can't be manipulated by the God Almighty who wields the symbolism of Maker with the ability to Create and manipulate "All Things".[45]
∞ MIRACLES: One of the two foundations that ascend Change into becoming Inconceivable.[33] Miracles themselves are 'Unexplainable' and 'Incomprehensible'—that is why they are called Miracles.[16][33]
When Wishing an impossible Miracle, a Half-Lord of Mysteries can combine Miracles with Loopholes and Fooling to exploit Loopholes and change definitions to grant Wishes that cannot be achieved in the normal situation due to how the desired Wish is impossible or difficult. This is done by lowering the difficulty of the Wish.[46]
The granted Wish will not exactly match the true desired Miracle, but it will be fulfilled in a way that is lesser than the original intent. In other words, it's to grant a similar, less difficult Wish that can achieve a comparable temporary effect within the current situation.
∞ RESURRECTION: "They" wield Miracles, and Resurrection is one of them.[47] To be Resurrected from the dead is a Miracle.[48]
When "They" die, "They" can swiftly Resurrect,[47] faster than the time taken for the Supernova Dominator to escape the Final Judgement and the Goddess of Fate to reform "Her" consciousness and spirit in the River of Fate.[49]
"They" can arbitrarily reset the number of Resurrections of "Themselves" and other Miracle Invoker,[50]
Other applications of Miracles include:
Klein Wished for the Star Dominion to be restored to its state at the end of the previous epoch. Accompanied by his words, the materials left behind by the Supernova Dominator converged rapidly with the scenes from the Fog of History to form a sun and planets.[22]
∞ GRAFTING / REASSEMBLY: An authority arisen from the fusion of the Change and Bizarreness symbols.[16] It is one of the manifestations of the Bizarreness symbolism.[47] "They" can recombine concrete, physical objects and abstract concepts—including oneself—that originally possessed no connection whatsoever, thereby achieving unbelievable and completely real effects. It can act directly upon 'concepts' and even authorities themselves.[16]
As a Half-Lord of Mysteries, Klein Grafted the Uniquenesses and Beyonder Characteristics within the Dual-Pathway True God Lumian into a cohesive whole, stabilizing his existence in a peculiar manner.[51]
This Grafting shielded Lumian's body from collapsing after being hit by the Malevolent Dragon's strike targeting his precarious balance; however, it could only do so once.
Klein Grafted the Goddess of Fate 's Final Judgment, originally aimed at him, onto the Supernova Dominator.[52]
Klein Moretti Grafted the surging Desires within his true body onto his Marionettes to avoid the influences from Mother Tree of Desire.[53]
Klein Grafted the Thunder God Beyonder Characteristics and Tyrant Symbol2 Tyrant Uniqueness from the deceased Lord of Storms to Grisha Adam.[54]
∞ PUPPETRY: The authority from which Marionettes and Avatars stem from.[55] It is a subordinate authority of the Bizarreness and Change symbols, plus the Dominator of the Spirit World.[56]
Because of the elevation of Beyonder powers like Marionettes, Parasitism, Blink,[5] Historical Projections, and Replication,[57] "They" can manifest in countless forms, creating Avatars with a unique and ubiquitous nature.
Though the Lord of Mysteries has a limit to the amount of forms "They" can take at once through these abilities, no normal creature is able to perceive that limit, thus it's roughly equivalent to infinity. This lets "Them" achieve a state of Omnipresence.[58]
∞ SPIRIT BODY THREADS MANIPULATION: The Lord of Mysteries is able to instantly turn countless creatures—exceeding hundreds of billions—into "Their" Marionettes and manipulate them simultaneously.[59]
"They" can turn Uniquenesses into Marionettes or Parasitize them.[60]
"They" possess the ability to fight multiple foes simultaneously.[8]
In the absence of countering abilities and symbolisms, the corresponding abilities allows "Them" the ability to fight an uncountable number of Great Old Ones.[5][61]
∞ CHANGE: One of the core symbols of the Lord of Mysteries is the control over Change-slowing, accelerating, halting, or introducing Errors into transformations.[62]
The Error Symbol2 Error Pathway is a very important part of the Change symbolism.[63]
Error is the cornerstone of Change, but not the only one, as there are Normal Change, Erroneous Change, and Inconceivable Change. The general image would be roughly as follows:[33]
Normal Change encompasses all three pathways.
Erroneous Change is primarily dominated by the Error Symbol2 Error Pathway.
∞ INCONCEIVABLE CHANGE: Error plus Miracles is the foundation for Change to ascend to the Inconceivable Symbolism.
Examples of the Change symbolism used in the story include:
Klein could have used Change to influence the Mother Goddess of Depravity's accommodation of the Brood Hive, but doing so would require full exertion of Sefirah Castle's power.[62]
When the Mother Goddess of Depravity was weakened after invoking the unique symbolism of the Chaos Primogenitor, Klein used Change to delay "Her" collapse into an embryonic state, while still being able to maintain the Astral Barrier and contend with the other eight Great Old Dominators at the same time.[62]
Klein caused immediate Change- an Error in the state of the erupting Supernovae from the Supernova Dominator's star-cluster form, causing them to collapse violently toward a single point. This threatened to create an unimaginably massive Black Hole.[43]
Klein extended the duration that the Celestial Master, Celestial Thearch, Pitch-Black Fiend, and Golden Buddha could wield power approaching the Great Old Ones, but there was still a time limit.[22]
Klein used Change to delay the awakening of the Primordial God Almighty's consciousness within Grisha Adam, allowing Grisha Adam to hold on a little longer.[64]
∞ KING OF SPACE-TIME: Space-Time falls under the Change symbolism.[8]
∞ SPACE: As the King of Space-Time, "They" can manipulate Space in various ways, including Teleportation, Banishment, creating Alternate Worlds, etc.
∞ SPATIAL COLLAPSE: "Their" Spatial Collapse has a smaller range but greater destructive power than the Supernova Dominator's Supernovae.[65]
∞ SPACE-TIME LABYRINTH: The Lord of Mysteries can create a Space-Time Labyrinth inside the Spirit World that is able to trap Great Old Dominators.[24]
Great Old Dominators in the domain of the Fate can rely on pure luck to escape the labyrinth through the River of Fate, however it will require several dozen seconds.[24]
"They" can instantly and selectively Teleport a multitude of existences and objects, including Great Old Ones, provided "They" don't resist.
Klein instantly transferred billions of humans, countless other species, and the scenes from the dream to a target planet at the edge of the universe.[66]
Klein transported all of Earth's Above the Sequences from this Star Dominion to another, significantly more distant Star Dominion.[43]
∞ BANISHMENT/EXILE: "They" can extract "Their" targets and move them to other locations (including the Historical Void for a certain time period[67]).
Klein used Banishment and Sealing together, directing starlight on the Mother Goddess of Depravity to attempt to extract "Her" from the planet.[62]
If the Mother Goddess of Depravity isn't injured, attempting to extract "Her" from the planet would have been near impossible. If "She" is severely wounded, there exists an opportunity; however, "She" can invoke "Her" symbolism as the Pillar over Reality to prevent this from happening. Thus, "She" can't be Banished and Sealed, unless "She" allows it.
∞ TIME: Time is a product of Change. As such, "They" can manipulate Time throughout the entire universe. It is acceptable to call "Them" the Monarch of the River of Time, but "They" are not the absolute ruler—other Great Old Ones also hold partial symbolism.[68]
"They" can slow down Time. Around a black hole which already slows down Time, this causes Time to become near frozen, making even other Great Old Dominators like the Supernova Dominator move with an unbelievable slowness.[47]
The Lord of Mysteries can also do the opposite by speeding up Time via reversing the stagnation of Change, pushing it into acceleration.[47]
Klein Moretti's ascension to Lord of Mysteries had stopped the Time of the entire universe, which affected even the Outer Deities.
∞ HISTORY: As the King of Space-Time, "They" hold the symbolism of History,[70] being able to make the Fog of History manifest in the Physical World and affect it.[71] If information is not hidden, "They" are also theoretically able too see and know every piece of information in the Historical Void.[15]
"They" can return the Historical to History, resulting in things that are considered History and manifested in the Physical World being forced to return to the Historical Void.[72]
Klein eroded the Tree of Shadow with the Fog of History, causing the mottled bark, settled desires, and ancient scenes to gradually present a phantasmal texture.
∞ HISTORICAL PROJECTIONS:
A Half-Lord of Mysteries can sustain Historical Projections for at least hundreds of years with "Their" status, level, and strength.[73]
Klein Moretti extended slimy, eldritch tentacles into the thin gray fog and pulled the Astral Barrier back from History, placing it in front of the Outer Deities. However, this Historical Projection of the Astral Barrier lacked the Oldest One's status—much like the contradictions between Historical Projections and Uniquenesses—and thus could only hold for two or three seconds.[42]
Although "They" can't alter History, "They" can achieve a similar effect by Concealing a segment of History, and then replacing/overwriting it with an imagined History.[74]
This method is like overlaying false History onto reality.
A collaboration of True Gods can detect that History has been manipulated.
"They" can cause severe damage and inflict heavy losses on the Mother Goddess of Depravity by employing the History, Fooling, and Error symbolisms in the following way:[44]
First summoning the History of Reality shaking during The Apocalypse. Then using Fooling to blur the lines of History and Reality before using the Error symbolism to equate Reality's shaking with the Sovereign of Reality being severely harmed.
The King of Space-Time, who held the symbolism of History, might not be able to kill the Circle of Inevitability but could certainly inflict suffering worse than death.[64]
"They" can travel through Space-Time, allowing "Them" to travel to the past, however it's still impossible for "Them" to change History, "They" could only Fool History for a certain period.[75]
As the King of Space -Time and supreme Historical Scholar, "They" can return to historical moments to witness events and communicate without altering History.[76]
This isn't because the King of Space-Time lacks the ability to change the past, but rather because the universe inherently restrains any attempt of doing so.[77]
King of Space-Time could hinder the High-Dimensional Overseer from freely traversing Dimensions.[8]
∞ EMBODIMENT OF SEFIRAH CASTLE: "They" are the embodiment of the Sefirah Castle, the Castle of Origin.[78]
The Sefirah Castle in the truest sense of the word is a bluish-black Door of Light constantly emanating a faint Grayish-White Fog.[79] The boundless void of Gray Fog is the Divine Kingdom that Sefirah Castle came with,[79] an external manifestation and extension of the Sefirah Castle.[80]
This realm is located above the Spirit World, and provides a defensive barrier that even a True God can't break.[81] The Lord of Mysteries can use this realm as "Their" own Divine Kingdom.
When Klein Moretti advanced to the Lord of Mysteries, the Fog of History spread throughout the World of Ruins, enveloping the entire planet and all living beings, while even spreading beyond the Astral Barrier into the boundless universe.[69]
Within the Fog, living beings either became dull-witted, filled with cunning, or inexplicably transported to the place they knew most intimately. In addition to that, numerous rules malfunctioned and many symbols were Fooled within the Fog.
As the Embodiment of Sefirah Castle, the Lord of Mysteries' Resurrection is, to some extent, limited to Sefirah Castle and the three corresponding Pathways, preventing "Them" from reviving through other accommodated Sefirot. However, the symbolism of Inconceivable could allow "Them" to bypass this limitation.[82]
Therefore, for the Celestial Worthy, it's not that "He" couldn't revive through other accommodated Sefirot, it's that "He" preferred not to. In actuality, "He" had also made arrangements for it.
As the Embodiment of Sefirah Castle, when the Lord of Mysteries uses "Their" full power, "They" will have to manifest the Sefirah Castle.[83][84]
When Klein fully utilized the Change symbolism to delay the Mother Goddess of Depravity's attempt to Rebirth, he revealed the Sefirah Castle—a Massive Door of Light Tinged with Bluish-Black hues deep within the shadows of his Fool Symbol2 black trench coat.[62]
When attempting to Banish and Seal the Mother Goddess of Depravity, Klein raised his Door Symbol2 star-studded cane and infused the Bluish-Black Door of Light's projection with his will, making starlight fall.[62]
Klein directed the projection of the Bluish-Black Door of Light into the Protected Zones, where it scattered into countless starlit fragments, instantly transferring billions of humans, countless other species, and the scenes from the dream to a target planet at the edge of the universe.[85]
When Klein reinforced the mystical connections and corresponding symbolisms that Amon had "reconstructed" between the Mother Tree of Desire and the Tenebrous World, linking them across countless star dominions to the current battlefield, the many Kleins surrounding the Mother Tree of Desire spread their arms to project starlight-dyed Bluish-Black Doors before them.[11]
Klein manifested the Sefirah Castle to fight against the Supernova Dominator and the Goddess of Fate at the same time.[47]
He manifested the enormous Bluish-Black Door of Light Formed From Countless Insects when using the King of Space-Time symbolism to further stagnate Time around the black hole created by the Supernova Dominator.
He stood within the giant Bluish-Black Door of Light when using the Beacon of Destiny symbolism to converge all tributaries of the River of Fate on the Door of Light.
The Sefirah Castle isolated both sides and Concealed the scenes from the other party.
As the Abomination Beyonder characteristic began to bulge and crack as if it were about to explode from containing the Supernova Dominator, Klein's body projected a Bluish-Black Illusory Door of Light. The Door's projection landed on the characteristic, stabilizing it, transforming it into an astral crystal.[24]
Klein conjured a Door Glowing with a Bluish-Black Hue on himself and withdrew the Door's projection from the astral crystal to stop maintaining the Seal of the Supernova Dominator.[12]
Klein's Fool Symbol2 coat flared, and the Bluish-Black Door radiated brilliantly when he casted the Foolishness symbolism at full force on the Supernova Dominator and maintain it with full force.[12]
The true body of the Lord of Mysteries, the Sefirah Castle, is almost impossible to truly harm.[86]
However, this does not mean there are no other ways to affect it. After all, even the Celestial Worthy ultimately fell.
Severe damage sustained by the Sefirah Castle—such as from the Supernova Dominator's White Hole—would not recover fully in the short term, even after the Lord of Mysteries had died and Resurrected.[47]
Subsequently, the Lord of Mysteries would be put in a weakened state, comparable to that of the Mother Goddess of Depravity after using the Chaos Primogenitor's special symbolism.[22]
It would take "Them" a few years to recover and walk the earth again.[87]
∞ BEACON OF DESTINY: "They" are the Beacon of Destiny, the one who guides the River of Fate.
While all three Pathways contain manifestations of Destiny, the cornerstone of the Beacon of Destiny is the Door Symbol2 Door and the Positions authority that rose to the level of Destiny's Positioning.[88]
"They" can guide every tributary of the River of Fate to one direction, as though it alone represented the true path and the real future.[47]
Klein Moretti guided Goddess of Fate's Destiny to one direction, the future where "She" rushes toward the Door of Light.
Klein Moretti's ability as the Beacon of Destiny, guided by the Genie's hint, led the Circle of Inevitability to the battlefield with the Calamity of Destruction Lumian Lee, the Eternal Darkness Amanises, and the Monarch of Decay, which ultimately led "Him" to achieve Redemption of the entire universe when the Termination symbolism was manifesting.[89]
"They" can manifest distorted shadows emerging within the River of Fate, swimming from the past and future toward the present node. This brought a tolling, causing the flow of the River of Fate to stagnate.[23]
Beacon of Destiny counters certain Fate-related symbolisms, but not all of them.[90]
Beacon of Destiny counters Cycle of the Circle of Inevitability.[8]
Beacon of Destiny mutually counteracts the symbolisms of the Goddess of Fate.[90]
The Goddess of Fate was drawn in when Klein used the Beacon of Destiny symbolism because "She" was the current node of the River of Fate, meaning "She" would inevitably pass through the Beacon of Destiny.[47]
If the Lord of Mysteries were to accommodate the Key of Light, "They" would become the Controller/Wielder of Fate, and then be unable to control the instinct, moving closer to the Oldest One.[91]
∞ FOOLING: "They" hold the symbolism of Fooling—the corresponding symbolism to the Fool's authority of Fooling.[16] "They" are a master of trickery, adept at using all kinds of methods to Fool all things.[92] "They" could turn the true to false, and the false to true, with the distinction between true and false no longer clear. Abstract things could become substantial, and could also be defined as pure concepts.[72]
As a master of Fooling, "They" are undoubtedly a master in the domain of symbolic manipulation.[93]
"They" are the best and most proficient at utilizing symbolism. As a result, the Pathways under "Them" naturally are able to use surface level symbolism application of their authorities.[3]
"They" can reinforce existing mystical connections and corresponding symbols, linking them across countless Star Dominions.[11]
Fooling can blur the distinction between a summoned History and the present, thereby making that History affect the present again.[44]
In The Fool's Dream, the potion can be Fooled, the ritual can be Fooled, the mind can be Fooled, even the boundary between fantasy and reality can be Fooled.[94]
Since the Dream is restricted to Sequence 7, the mental effects of potions, and the minimum requirements for rituals, even at the Demigod level, will also be suppressed to Sequence 7 level. Upon leaving the Dream, those problems will instantly return to the original level. Similarly, potion digestion inside the Dream will also be Grafted into reality. When the person returns to reality, they will be a Sequence 4 Demigod in good condition—reality will have been truly Fooled at this moment.
Of course, it's also possible that only people are Fooled, believing they've truly completed the advancement and become Demigods when in reality they've just developed a mental disorder.
If one dies in the Dream, affected by Fooling, their body in the real world will also die, producing Beyonder Characteristics. This feedback to the dream city will then Graft the Beyonder characteristics onto the recipient, achieving the effect of turning fantasy into reality and reality into fantasy.
Klein Moretti spread the Grayish-White Fog to obscure the fissures in the Astral Barrier, rendering them invisible and untouchable, as if they no longer existed. As a result, the Astral Barrier stabilized.[59]
The Lord of Mysteries, Demon of Knowledge, and Son of Chaos joining force can extend the Chaos Primogenitor's cooldown by modifying the Major Month. However, "They" could extend it by one Major Year at most.[95]
By using Wish and Fooling, "They" can turn the Calamity of Destruction's spatial three-heads-six-arms form into a temporal one, where the three heads and corresponding bodies will each occupy different time segments of the day, living their own lives but still under the main consciousness' control.[96]
"They" are able to Fool the drawbacks of Contracts.
The negative effects of signing a Door Symbol2 Door Pathway-related Uniqueness contract with Gehrman Sparrow originally manifested as "frequently getting lost and encountering hostile, dangerous entities". However, after being Fooled by The Fool Klein, the drawback changed to "potentially getting lost and encountering hostile entities only while using the contract's abilities".[97]
The Lord of Mysteries has means to resist the backlash and reduce the damage caused by breaching the Contract made with the Son of Chaos with "Their" own Sefirot as witnesses; however, it won't be without a price. "They" would need to consider the consequences.[98]
∞ FOOLISHNESS / BLIND STUPIDITY: One of the core symbolisms of the Lord of Mysteries,[22] and the symbolism of Blind Stupidity in the Mind domain.[99][100] "They" can reduce the intelligence of other rational beings and make them Foolish.[47]
When fighting against the Lord of Mysteries, the symbolism of Foolishness will gradually deepen its influence over time, making it hard to notice that one has fallen under its influence.[47]
Under the influence of Foolishness, the Supernova Dominator unknowingly created a black hole—one that contracts Space and dilates Time—which helped the King of Space-Time further stagnate Time.
The Foolishness symbolism, when being maintained and deepened at full force instead of stopping right after casting, can immediately halt the Supernova Dominator's thoughts and actions, making "Him" blankly and dazedly surveying the surroundings. As long as further actions won't threaten "His" life or cause "His" fall, "He" won't instinctively resist under deep Foolishness.[12]
In a one-on-one battle against the High-Dimensional Overseer, given that the Dimensionality symbolism mutually counteracted the Change symbolism, which included King of Space-Time, Klein could rely on symbolism like Foolishness to turn the tide against the High-Dimensional Overseer.[8]
Klein couldn't truly kill "Him" but could defeat "Him", Banish "Him", and make "Him" suffer significant losses.
For beings that act on instinct such as the Primordial Hunger, using the symbolism of Foolishness will not cause a noteworthy change, so it is better to use the symbolism of Deceit instead.[101] Likewise, Fooling is less effective than Deceit against the Malevolent Dragon when "It" was stripped off the external consciousnesses of the past Dao Integrators and remained purely instinct-driven.[42]
The Goddess of Fate's symbolisms primarily centered on the domain of Fate, particularly conscious manipulation, making "Her" an appealing opponent for the Beacon of Destiny's Foolishness symbolism.[8]
∞ DECEIT: "They" are the symbol of Deceit.[102]
"They" wield the ability to Deceive and Misdirect other beings into choosing non-optimal courses of actions that they wouldn't normally choose, usually by exploiting their desires or instincts.
Klein Deceived the Primordial Hunger's instinct for convergence and desired target, forcibly guiding "Him" to seek the Chaos Sea "He" could merely control rather than the City of Calamity "He" could accommodate.[101]
Klein Deceived the Goddess of Fate, who was under the Foolishness symbolism, causing "Her" to Foolishly enter the Spirit World to use it as a shortcut to the Key of Light, before trapping "Her" inside a Space-Time Labyrinth.[24]
As a Half-Lord of Mysteries, Klein was able to exploit the Mother Goddess of Depravity's instinctual desire for the Brood Hive to Deceive "Her" into taking the initiative to breach the Western Continent's barrier.[103]
Klein Deceived the Mother Goddess of Depravity to make "Her" overlook his weakened state, even though "She" was still fully aware of the Celestial Master and company's condition.[22]
"They" can Deceive the laws of nature, the rules of the world, and the mystical connections surrounding all.[104]
Under the Distortion power from the Black Emperor Pathway and the Deceit symbolism, the contract drafted by the Primordial God Almighty, which was originally exceptionally tight and without exploitable Loopholes, was modified into producing one.[22]
∞ THEFT: This is a main symbolism of the Error Symbol2 Error, at this level, Theft could be temporarily applied on the Destiny and Symbolisms of Great Old Ones, except for "Their" origin/source/root Symbols.[18][21]
An origin/source/root symbolism is the most essential symbolism of a Great Old One, such as the symbolism of Inevitability of the Circle of Inevitability.[105]
When combined with the Inconceivable Symbol, Stealing from a clone, such as Marionettes, Avatars, etc., becomes equivalent to Stealing from the main body as well.[106][107]
If the Lord of Mysteries and the Key of Light combined forced, there are many methods for "Them" to eliminate the Goddess of Fate or Circle of Inevitability, such as performing a substitution or replacement at the level of Fate identity and status. The only catch is having to permanently resist "Their" reviving consciousness.[108][109]
∞ DOOR: The concept of Doors, which encompasses authority over Space, Sealing, Alternate Worlds, etc.[110]
"They" can create Layers Upon Layers of Doors around a target to restrict them. Every time a Door broke, another appears in its place, covering the target and blocking the path of escape with countless layers of overlapping Doors.
The Supernova Dominator's intense gravitational pull could not break through the Doors,[23] though the eruption of several Supernovae cleared all of them.[43]
∞ SEALS: "They" can Seal entities inside objects, Seal abstract things such as Convergence, Seal regions and isolate them from the outside world in the mystical sense, creating unique Seals that siphon power from the Sealed being, etc.
Depending on the condition, "They" can Seal Great Old Ones, using high-level Beyonder Characteristics as a medium.
A Great Old Dominator whose consciousness, spirit, Sefirah, Uniquenesses, and Beyonder Characteristics are all intact can't be completely Sealed, especially when "They" lean toward reality.[24]
Klein Sealed the Supernova Dominator's body into an Abomination Beyonder Characteristic (which has the Binding symbolism, making it an ideal sealing material). After stabilizing the Seal with Sefirah Castle, the object quickly transformed into a transparent, dreamlike crystal of constellations.[24]
Despite being Sealed inside an Abomination Beyonder Characteristic and then in the Spirit World, the Supernova Dominator would have been able to escape "His" Seal in 3 to 4 minutes.[24]
"They" can Seal the indestructible spirit of Great Old Ones,[111].
The Celestial Worthy Sealed the main consciousness of the Son of Chaos into becoming the Genie inside a lamp with a Miracle Invoker Beyonder Characteristic, creating the Magic Wishing Lamp.
If Klein succeeded in Stealing the Goddess of Fate's consciousness and spirit at the moment of "Her" revival, he would immediately place it into the Abomination Beyonder Characteristic, then use his symbolism to Seal "Her".[112]
The Celestial Worthy Sealed seven Sefirot and the Western Continent in a Fog Barrier and isolate them from the outside world.
This Fog Barrier cannot be broken by various Gods across several epochs.[113] It also could not be broken by the Quasi Great Old One Ancient Sun God.[114]
It cannot be breached by the Sefirot in the Western Continent. However, after the Fog Barrier has been sufficiently weakened through time, the powers of the Sefirot can seep out through the barrier to affect the outside world.[113]
It can be dispelled by either the Lord of Mysteries's removal, or the God Almighty or the Mother Goddess of Depravity breaking the Fog Barrier.[113][103]
Due to the Fog Barrier, the Western Continent is therefore treated as a separate domain in mysticism.[115]
Advancement Rituals like that of the Pale Emperor normally requires a range of a Star System,[116] but because of the Fog Barrier, the Western Continent is sufficient.
Unlike the Astral Barrier which only prevents entities from outside coming in,[117] the Fog Barrier prevents Wanderers in the Western Continent from reaching the Cosmos to complete the advancement ritual.[118]
"They" can Seal the Convergence of Sefirot, Uniquenesses, and Beyonder Characteristics and prevent them from forming a Great Old One.
Normally, similar to how a King of Angels with the Uniqueness + 3 Sequence 1 characteristics would forcefully become Sequence 0 (unless "They" can Seal the Convergence), a Half Great Old One with all Uniquenesses + Sequence 1 characteristics would forcefully become a Great Old One due to uncontrollable Convergence. However, in The Apocalypse, The Fool prevented this from happening to ensure post-event safety.[119]
Klein Moretti Sealed Termiboros, an Archangel of the Eternal Aeon Pathway inside Lumian Lee, siphoned some of "His" power and gave it to Lumian Lee as Boons.
Klein Moretti Sealed the Spirit World, cutting the connection and influence the Outer Deities have on it.[8]
∞↓{MYTHICAL CREATURE FORM}↓∞
"NOTE: This Mythical Creature Form is taken from Klein Moretti, who is the current Lord of Mysteries. The Mythical Creature Form of the Former Lord of Mysteries is unknown.
Within the depths of the Fool Symbol2 black trench coat, a glowing bluish-black door seemed to flicker in and out of existence. The Door Symbol2 star-encrusted cane and Error Symbol2 black gloves collapsed inward as well, forming a massive vortex within the trench coat — a terrifying vortex. Every gust of wind, droplet of water, and ray of light in the vortex consisted of Worms of Spirit, Worms of Time, and Worms of Stars. Within a second or two, the vortex was also devoured. The inside became an abyss, seemingly infinite, as if it contained an entire universe and a Spirit World connected to every planet. Then, within the darkness, smooth tentacles inscribed with mysterious patterns emerged. They slipped into black gloves at the sleeves and lifted the star-encrusted cane."
