Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 1306-1320

Chapter 1306 – Seal

Bernadette stands frozen as the black figure releases its grip on her neck, its dry, hoarse voice echoing “Home…” in a mixture of hesitation and confusion. The corrosion affecting her disappears, and her connection with the Sealed Artifact is restored. As the black figure stretches out its palm, it pushes Bernadette away, and the concealed space collapses.

The black figure reappears on the high-backed chair, its face cracking open to reveal blood-colored “eyes” and a mouth, as it utters “Leave this place!” in a voice filled with pain. Bernadette, standing more than ten meters away, stares at the figure with an unspeakable sadness, recognizing it as her father, Caesar Roselle Gustav.

As more cracks appear on the black figure’s body, Roselle seems to transform into a shadow, trying to block the crimson moon. He raises his arm to slow down the growth of the cracks, and his “eyes” blink repeatedly. With a hoarse voice, he calls out to Bernadette, reminiscing about the past and expressing his pride in her growth. However, he suddenly stops her from approaching, revealing his corruption and begging her to stay away.

Chapter 1307 – 1307 Meeting

Klein, still observing the Black Emperor mausoleum, sends a paper figurine into the primitive island’s vortex, where it transforms into his original appearance as Zhou Mingrui. Roselle, recognizing him, greets Klein and acknowledges his presence, sharing his own tale of corruption and the apocalypse. The Emperor reveals his plan to become a Sequence 0 Black Emperor, hoping to escape his corruption by “resurrecting” with a pure Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

Roselle recounts his descent into madness, his use of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery, and his eventual failure to resist the Great Old Ones’ influence. Klein, unsurprised, identifies the corrupting force as the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Roselle realizes that his discovery of Mr. Door’s cry for help might not have been a coincidence, hinting at a larger web of fate and manipulation.

As the conversation unfolds, Klein senses a looming threat, and Roselle’s silence hangs heavy, filled with unspoken implications. With the Emperor’s past laid bare, the stage is set for a darker, more sinister revelation, leaving readers wondering what other secrets linger in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered.

Chapter 1308 – Goodbye

Klein’s eyes widen as he discovers four Cards of Blasphemy on the table, realizing he’s been walking a thin line between corruption and salvation. He reflects on Roselle’s past and the Mother Goddess of Depravity’s influence, grateful he hadn’t obtained the Mother card. Roselle, still seated on the black iron throne, utters a cryptic phrase, “Everything has godhood in them… The Oldest One is still alive, alive in everyone’s bodies!”

Klein remains unfazed, recalling the Aurora Order’s teachings about the essence of life and the potential for becoming an angel. However, he’s concerned about the risks of fusing with godhoods and the True Creator’s intentions. Roselle’s ominous words are followed by a silence, and Klein presses him for clarification on what to trust.

Roselle cryptically hints at the Death of the Fourth Epoch’s possible revival, involving the River of Eternal Darkness, and advises Klein to communicate with the Genie of the Magic Wishing Lamp before attempting to become a Great Old One. He pleads with Klein to save him if he succeeds, or erase his existence if not, warning him to destroy the mausoleum and prevent his revival. As the conversation ends, Roselle’s tone shifts to one of self-deprecation and sorrow, revealing his remorse for past relationships.

Chapter 1309 – 1309 Additional Lessons

Bernadette, having circled the primitive island three times, finally seals her father, preventing a higher-order disaster. She reflects on her past misunderstandings and guilt, but determination takes over as she summons a spirit world creature to retrieve the Sage supplementary ingredients. With the Sage Frontlet shattered, Bernadette concocts the potion, knowing she needs a higher Sequence and strength to help Roselle escape corruption.

As she advances to Sequence 2, Bernadette’s body breaks down into a flux of information, risking her consciousness. Her previous experiences with the Sage Frontlet and Klein’s subtle intervention with good luck aid her in maintaining her connection to the information. She begins to reconstruct her body, resisting the ancient will that’s developing within her.

A sudden interference from the Hidden Sage attempts to fuse with Bernadette, but she manages to reassemble her body and balance out the terrifying will. As she becomes a Sequence 2 angel of the Mystery Pryer pathway, Bernadette sees the distorted space return to normal, and a series of hidden information surges towards her, beckoning her to explore further.

Chapter 1310 – Envoy

Klein prays in the Evernight Cathedral, mentioning Roselle’s revival and the corruption of the Primordial Moon. He expresses concerns about the Cards of Blasphemy, specifically the Mother and Moon cards, hinting at the dangers of Earth Mother Lilith. As a knowledgeable and cautious character, Klein understands the advantages and risks associated with the Planter and Moon pathways, including the corruption that can occur when interacting with the Primordial One.

In the Harvest Church, Emlyn White, a demigod and Sanguine Ancestor’s Blessed, meets with Bishop Utravsky and the Church’s envoy, Archbishop Loreto. Emlyn is promoted to hierophant, a high-ranking deacon, and will oversee Sanguine matters in Backlund. Loreto plans to inform Emlyn about crucial Church matters, foreshadowing significant events to come.

As Klein navigates the complex web of divine influences and Beyonders’ concerns, Emlyn ascends to a powerful position within the Church of Earth. Both characters are now poised to tackle the looming threats and mysteries of their respective worlds, setting the stage for a captivating continuation of the story.

Chapter 1311 – New Mission

Emlyn White, now a hierophant, declines to ask Archbishop Loreto about the anomalies in the Earth and Moon Beyonder pathways, opting to wait for the next Tarot Gathering to consult with other powerful figures. He suspects the influence of the Primordial Moon, an evil existence that has corrupted many Sanguine in the past. Loreto tasks Emlyn with establishing three to five Beyonder teams in Backlund, comprising mostly Sanguine members, with the approval of the Church of Evernight and the Church of Storms.

Meanwhile, Alger, a bishop of the Church of Storms, oversees the development of a new city in the Sonia Sea, a haven for believers of Mr. Fool, including deformed individuals from Moon City. Alger aims to integrate these followers into the Rorsted Archipelago, but is concerned about his own progress towards becoming the Sea God, as he believes he still lacks sufficient contributions to exchange for the desired identity, authority, and status.

As Emlyn and Alger navigate their respective roles, they sense danger lurking in the shadows, with multiple Sequence 4 demigods in the City of Silver and Moon City, loyal to the enigmatic Mr. Fool, potentially vying for the Sea God’s power.

Chapter 1312 – 1312 Fully Automatic Wishing Machine

Jasmine, a young woman disfigured by a cannonball explosion, ventures out of her home for the first time since the tragedy to attend the annual Limon Carnival in Midseashire’s Limon City. Her appearance, shrouded in darkness by her attire, inspires horror in those who glimpse her face. As she observes the vibrant celebrations from a distance, a mysterious young man, Merlin Hermes, approaches her, introducing himself as the inventor of a peculiar device: the Fully Automatic Wishing Machine.

Merlin Hermes, who is actually Klein in disguise, offers Jasmine a chance to use the machine, claiming it can grant her deepest desires, including restoring her original looks, for free. Jasmine is initially hesitant but becomes increasingly tempted by the possibility of reclaiming her lost beauty. She begins to contemplate taking a chance on the machine, despite her initial reservations.

As Jasmine weighs the risks and potential benefits, Klein’s true intentions remain ambiguous. Will the mysterious machine indeed grant Jasmine’s wish, or does Klein have ulterior motives for his invention? Meanwhile, the ongoing tensions between Emlyn, Alger, and the enigmatic Mr. Fool continue to simmer in the background, awaiting their next convergence.

Chapter 1313 – 1313 The Third Wish

Jasmine’s excitement to use the Fully Automatic Wishing Machine is tempered by her concerns about the price she might have to pay. Klein, still masquerading as Merlin Hermes, enigmatically explains that the penny she paid is the price, but also warns her that achieving her wish may come with its own consequences. With an empty pocket, Jasmine returns home to gather coins, but not before encountering her former neighbor, Mrs. Hamil, who shares the tragic fate of her daughter, Jolie, at the hands of Feysacian soldiers.

As Jasmine walks back to her apartment, she reflects on her own experience and considers herself lucky, realizing that her parents have been working hard to make ends meet. She observes their worn and aged faces, noticing the toll their struggles have taken on them. This sparks a desire in her to make a second wish, this time focused on improving her family’s circumstances.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Jasmine gathers the last of her coins and boards a trackless public carriage, determined to return to the machine and make her next wish. The vibrant atmosphere of the carnival surrounds her, but her focus remains on changing her family’s fortunes, and she presses on, driven by her growing determination.

Chapter 1314 – Miracles Are Only For A Momen

Jasmine’s return home is met with a shocking response from her parents, who fail to recognize her due to her drastic transformation. They mistake her for a burglar and chase her out of the apartment, leaving her feeling lost and helpless. As she tries to process this new reality, she’s confronted by a drunkard who mistakes her for a prostitute, and she narrowly escapes with the help of a police officer.

At the police station, Jasmine provides a statement about the encounter, but her panic and helplessness only intensify as she’s forced to confront the harsh realities of her new situation. With nowhere to turn, she’s offered assistance by the policeman, but his words are laced with insinuations that leave her on the brink of mental collapse.

As Jasmine struggles to come to terms with her new identity and the consequences of her wish, she’s left with more questions than answers. Will she be able to find a way to convince her parents of her true identity, or will she be forced to navigate the treacherous world alone?

Chapter 1315 – 1315 Summary Repor

Jasmine faces a mixture of emotions as she stands in front of Superintendent Grey, detailing her encounter with the mysterious wishing machine and its consequences. The officer’s calm demeanor puts Jasmine and her parents at ease, but they’re still on edge as they recount the events. Grey listens intently, her expression a blend of curiosity and concern.

As Jasmine explains the machine’s creator, Merlin Hermes, and her three wishes, Grey’s gaze lingers on Jasmine’s face, searching for any signs of deception. Jasmine’s parents, still grappling with the truth, struggle to accept the existence of such a machine. They’re torn between relief at their improved health and fear of the unknown.

Grey offers three suggestions, warning Jasmine about the dangers of easy wishes and advising her to seek purification at the cathedral. The officer’s words are laced with an air of authority, but also a hint of unease, as if she’s only scratched the surface of a larger, more sinister reality.

Chapter 1316 – An Unknown City

Klein’s thoughts wander as he entertains a child with a monster puppet, pondering the creation of a marionette city for the advancement ritual. He considers the complexity of making each marionette a living, breathing person with their own past, present, and future, and the risks of losing control. As he calculates the number of marionettes he needs, a sudden vision appears before him – the Giant King’s Court door closing, signaling the True Creator’s intent to seal off the Forsaken Land of the Gods again.

Meanwhile, in Empress Borough, Audrey prepares to leave her room when Susie arrives with an unexpected message. Susie’s mouth vibrates with a deep male voice, revealing that Eric Drake, the president of the Psychology Alchemists, wishes to discuss Audrey becoming a councilor. Audrey remains calm, sensing potential danger, and checks Susie’s mind island for any external consciousness or knowledge.

As Audrey considers meeting Eric Drake, Klein’s premonition grows stronger, and he worries about the True Creator’s next move. With the Forsaken Land of the Gods about to be sealed off, Klein’s plans for the marionette city are thrown into disarray, and the stakes continue to rise.

Chapter 1317 – Pride

Audrey arrives at the mysterious city within everyone’s heart, accompanied by Pauli Derlau, the president of the Psychology Alchemists. She observes the pedestrians, who are actually Bestial Desires, psychological symbols with human-like appearances but eerie features. They enter a Gothic cathedral, where Derlau reveals his intentions to discuss her becoming a councilor.

As they sit down, Derlau inquires about Audrey’s advancement to Sequence 4 Manipulator, seeking to know how she acquired the potion formula and Beyonder characteristic. Audrey explains that it was through a deal with a client who requested her help in killing another demigod. Derlau probes deeper, and Audrey reveals that she succeeded in the task, but was only one of the participants.

Derlau’s interest in Audrey’s abilities grows, and he asks if she knows where the client’s formula and characteristic came from. Audrey maintains her calm demeanor, subtly hinting that she suspects Derlau’s true intentions. As their conversation unfolds, Audrey remains vigilant, guarding against potential mind infiltration, and the atmosphere thickens with tension and mystery.

Chapter 1318 – Seven Councilors

Audrey puts on the Pride mask, and her thoughts are instantly flooded with condescending views towards others, believing they are stupid and impulsive. She recognizes the persona as a magnification of her own past experiences and observations. Derlau notes her quick recovery, implying she hasn’t lost herself in the experience of manipulating others.

Audrey observes her reflection on the table, noticing her changed demeanor, and Derlau explains that Hvin Rambis was heavily influenced by Pride. He hypothesizes that Rambis’s arrogance contributed to his downfall. Audrey inquires about the masks, learning that they can amplify corresponding knowledge and emotions, but also bring negative effects that can alter the wearer’s personality.

As Derlau begins to elaborate, the conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the Psychology Alchemists’ councilors, each wearing one of the seven masks. Mr. Gluttony, Mr. Lust, Ma’am Greed, Miss Sloth, and Mr. Envy enter the cathedral, their masks reflecting their respective personas. Audrey, as a senior Spectator, quickly notices the distinct features of each mask, and Derlau introduces the councilors, hinting at the complexities of the Psychology Alchemists’ inner workings.

Chapter 1319 – Life-Preserving Incantation

Derlau briefs Audrey on the investigation mission, warning her of the dangers and providing cryptic instructions to seek salvation by uttering the name “Adam” if needed. He explains that this name holds the highest mystery of the mind domain and is connected to the Psychology Alchemists. Meanwhile, the councilors debate the safekeeping method of Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts, with Derlau proposing a new system where artifacts are stored in the mind city and can be accessed via application.

As the council meeting progresses, Derlau reveals that the seven persona masks can be taken out of the city and worn by the councilors whenever they are with at least two humans, allowing them to enter the mind city. However, he cautions that this may affect their mental state and true personality. Audrey grows concerned that the masks might be connected to Adam, but keeps her thoughts hidden.

The councilors begin discussing regional issues, with Mr. Gluttony reporting on a series of bizarre occurrences in the Constant region, including the miraculous reconstruction of Constant City, mass memory loss in Belltaine City, and the appearance of a powerful archmage granting wishes. His research on mind problems in ordinary creatures has led him to notice strange occurrences in the region, piquing the interest of the other councilors.

Chapter 1320 – Mind Mail

Audrey returns from her meeting with Derlau, and Susie, her golden retriever, greets her with concern, sensing something is amiss. Audrey reassures her, but her thoughts are consumed by the mysterious name “Adam” and the Psychology Alchemists. She begins to examine her mind island, creating the Pride persona mask, which appears in her subconscious without her intention.

As she experiments with the mask, a mysterious letter appears in her mind world, containing information about the mind dragon in East Chester County. Audrey uses her Virtual Persona and black glove to safely access the letter, marveling at the advanced technology of the Spectator pathway. She decides to pray to Mr. Fool, seeking to seal the Pride mask, but first, she attends to other matters.

Later, at dusk, Audrey makes her wish, and the Pride mask materializes in front of her, taking on a more substantial form. She combines it with her Lie persona, creating a new, illusory-reality hybrid. Audrey is determined to keep the persona mask separate from her mind and body until she needs to use it, and she thanks Mr. Fool for his intervention.
