Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 1321-1335

Chapter 1321 – The Six Special Pathways

Klein, Audrey, and the Tarot Club members engage in a discussion about the origins of the twenty-two Beyonder pathways, each sharing their own school of thought. Cattleya presents the Moses Ascetic Order’s theory, Leonard explains the Churches’ belief, and Emlyn shares the Life School of Thought’s perspective. The conversation reveals that most Beyonders believe the pathways originate from the original Creator, but Klein hints that not all of them do.

Fors asks Klein to clarify, and he reveals that the Planter and Moon pathways, along with four others – Prisoner, Criminal, Lawyer, and Arbiter – come from the Cosmos. This news alarms Emlyn, as he recalls the danger of the underground corruption and the cosmos. Klein’s statement also catches Fors off guard, as her friend Xio is associated with the Arbiter pathway.

As the conversation unfolds, Audrey and the others begin to realize that the origins of the Beyonder pathways are more complex and mysterious than they initially thought. Klein’s enigmatic responses only add to the intrigue, leaving the group with more questions than answers.

Chapter 1322 – Hold Off On Something Unresolvable

Klein, aka The World Gehrman Sparrow, deliberately raises a question about a mysterious figure, arousing varying reactions from the Tarot Club members. While some recognize the name, others are unfamiliar with it, and Audrey seizes the opportunity to discuss her recent encounter with a secret organization. They’ve approached her, claiming to need her assistance in investigating a matter, which Audrey suspects might be a test or an attempt to uncover the Tarot Club’s secrets.

As the conversation unfolds, Emlyn demonstrates his growth by deducing that the organization’s approach might be a test. However, Audrey is unconvinced, believing they already know her problems and the involved faction. She suspects that the Twilight Hermit Order or Angel of Imagination Adam might be behind the move, possibly to gain benefits or experience growth. This sparks concerns about Adam’s potential divinity and her own vulnerability.

Alger proposes an alternative possibility: that the organization’s goal is to cooperate with the Tarot Club and Klein, effectively making Audrey an ambassador. As the discussion concludes, Audrey is left feeling uneasy, determined to be more cautious and self-reliant in resolving problems.

Chapter 1323 – Development Plan

Klein and the Tarot Club members brainstorm ways to develop the City of Silver, focusing on education, job creation, and economic growth. Alger suggests inviting specialist teachers to the city, while Cattleya proposes that the residents apply for civil jobs in the Rorsted Archipelago to handle supernatural matters. The discussion leads to a flurry of ideas, with Audrey suggesting investing in mines, spice plantations, and fertile land, as well as setting up paid classes in the Savant schools.

As the meeting progresses, Derrick takes notes, and the members offer their ideas and critique each other’s suggestions. The intensity of the discussion eventually dies down, leaving Derrick with a thick stack of notes and a sense of optimism about the City of Silver’s future. However, Klein’s thoughts are tinged with concern, as he’s aware that the impending apocalypse looms over the city’s promising developments.

As the meeting concludes, Derrick asks for advice on proselytizing to various cities in the archipelago, and Alger queries about the internal system of the Church, including the creation of a Holy Bible and the design of prayer details. Derrick responds, revealing that the City of Silver has based its religious scriptures on the Creator’s writings and Klein’s miracles, with the internal system of the Church mirroring that of other Churches.

Chapter 1324 – Handling

Cattleya meets with Frank Lee on the deck, where she inquires about his peculiar behavior, specifically his claim that the benevolent mother’s will is hidden in every aspect of nature. Frank’s responses, though seemingly innocent, leave Cattleya concerned, prompting her to write a letter to Gehrman Sparrow, hinting at her suspicions.

Meanwhile, Klein receives the letter from Cattleya and becomes aware of Frank’s potential connection to the Mother Goddess of Depravity. He recalls Frank’s forbidden experiment and his subsequent wanted status by the Church of Earth Mother, sparking doubts about Frank’s intentions. Klein suspects that Frank might be either heavily corrupted or afflicted with a mental condition, making him vulnerable to the Mother Goddess’s influence.

As Klein delves deeper into the mystery, he considers the implications of Frank’s mushroom experiment, which was aided by an assistant who believed in the Primordial Moon, a manifestation of the Mother Goddess of Depravity. His thoughts are filled with a sense of foreboding, as he ponders the catastrophic consequences of Frank’s potential corruption and the limits of the Mother Goddess’s powers.

Chapter 1325 – More than Half a Year Later

Verdu Abraham, donning gold-rimmed glasses, paces through his rented apartment in Bayam, City of Generosity, poring over thick stacks of mystical information. He’s determined to find a way to save his Ancestor Bethel Abraham, but his research has hitting a dead end. Frustrated, Verdu contemplates hunting a Bizarro Sorcerer, Parasite, and Secrets Sorcerer, but the danger is daunting. The silence is suddenly broken as a figure emerges from the shadows, surveils Verdu, and reports back to Alger Wilson, the cardinal of the Church of Storms.

Alger, tasked with monitoring Verdu, has been watching him for half a year without discovering anything abnormal. As Verdu prepares to leave Bayam, Alger is torn between completing his mission and wanting to do more. He’s stressed about the Hermit’s progress and feels the need to make a greater contribution. Alger considers using desperate measures to force Verdu to reveal himself, but hesitates, unsure of Mr. Fool’s intentions.

Alger decides to sell mysticism knowledge in Bayam’s Beyonder circles, hoping to lure Verdu into staying longer. Meanwhile, the cardinal’s Shadow Guards keep a watchful eye on Verdu, as the winds of intrigue begin to swirl around him, threatening to draw him into a web of secrets and deception.

Chapter 1326 – Successful “Mass“

As prayers to Mr. Fool echo across Bayam, New Moon City, and the New City of Silver, the deformed residents of Moon City begin to experience a miraculous transformation. Xin, Rus, and others feel their bodies changing, their deformities vanishing as they rejoice and praise Mr. Fool. The atmosphere is filled with an otherworldly sense of peace and tranquility, as if the very souls of the people are being cleansed.

Meanwhile, in the ancient palace above the gray fog, The Fool Klein is taken aback by the sudden chiming of the bells from his cathedral on Philips Street. He discovers a mysterious young man, later revealed to be Angel of Time Amon, standing at the top of the bell tower, striking the bell repeatedly. Amon’s enigmatic smile hints at a hidden agenda, leaving Klein both astonished and confused.

As the chapter unfolds, the air is electric with anticipation, hinting at the convergence of powerful forces and hidden machinations. The faith of The Fool continues to spread, drawing in more followers and foreshadowing a future filled with intrigue and mystery.

Chapter 1327 – Three Plans

As Klein deliberates on building his marionette town, he considers three plans, weighing the pros and cons of each. His top choice would be to establish the town in a country on the Northern Continent, connecting it to surrounding cities through railways, rivers, and roads. However, this approach can’t be kept confidential, and the sudden appearance of a town would attract unwanted attention from Zaratul, Amon, and other enemies.

Klein’s alternative plan is to build the town on an uninhabited island, using Sefirah Castle to give it anti-divination and anti-prophecy properties. He would then “Graft” some roads, rivers, and railways to the outside world, making it a stop for random groups of people during their journeys. While this plan has its limitations, it would allow Klein to preserve the ritual’s effects and maintain secrecy.

The third plan involves replicating a city and mapping its residents to marionettes, with the town becoming the dark side of the city. Outsiders would encounter marionettes, unaware of the switch, and Klein would send his marionettes to interact with real people, ensuring a seamless experience. As Klein chooses the second plan, opting for caution over speed, he sets the stage for a intricate and suspenseful journey.

Chapter 1328 – The Preparations Needed

Klein sits in the ancient palace, surrounded by avatars of himself, each busy with their own tasks. They’re preparing for the marionette town, learning specialist knowledge from various books to ensure they can convincingly play their roles. From wine brewing to harbor management, Klein’s avatars are studying hard to master every detail. Meanwhile, Klein is struggling to keep his own sanity in check, aware that he’s on the verge of losing control as he takes on multiple roles.

As the knowledge preparation nears completion, Klein puts down his fountain pen, relieved, and begins the next step. He “Teleports” to an isolated island in the Berserk Sea, a place he’s chosen for the marionette town. With a sincere prayer and a snap of his fingers, the landscape transforms: buildings rise, streets are paved, and a cathedral emerges, all in the style of the Loen Kingdom’s Desi Bay.

As the town takes shape, Klein makes two more wishes, snapping his fingers to create a deep-sea harbor and convenient transportation between the harbor and town. The island is now home to a fully functional city, complete with a naval base, warehouses, and a lighthouse. The marionette town is finally taking shape, and Klein’s intricate plan is unfolding.

Chapter 1329 – A Night Without Any Abnormalities

As the storm subsides, a liner approaches Utopia Harbor, guided by a man named Theodore, who’s donning a blue uniform and holding an umbrella and a glass lantern. He greets the captain, sailors, and passengers with an unusual welcome, sparking curiosity. The harbor’s peculiar atmosphere is palpable, and the passengers’ attention is soon drawn to a captivating lady, Tracey, who emerges alongside Theodore.

Tracey, the owner of the harbor hotel, warmly solicits the passengers to stay at her establishment, touting its comforts and hospitality. Her demeanor is refreshing, a stark contrast to the rough, weathered Theodore, who seems to be hiding secrets. As the two interact, their lively banter and Theodore’s mischievous behavior reveal a web of intrigue, hinting at the harbor’s true nature.

With the storm finally passing, the passengers are left to ponder their next move, tempted by Tracey’s offer and the enigmatic Utopia Harbor. As they weigh their options, they can’t help but wonder what secrets this unusual place holds, and what kind of adventures await them.

Chapter 1330 – Moving in

Alfred, a major general, reacts with unease upon learning that Utopia Harbor might not exist, suspecting a cult or worse. He instructs his adjutant to draft a telegram to MI9, requesting local Beyonders to investigate and list all passengers who entered the harbor. Meanwhile, Wendel, a Sequence 7 Beyonder and MI9’s internal affairs department member, boards a steam locomotive to send a confidential document to Backlund’s director. As the train approaches its destination, a storm forces it to stop at an unfamiliar platform, Utopia Station.

Wendel, unfazed by the unexpected stop, illustrates portraits of the passengers using his Beyonder powers, preparing for potential accidents. As the train conductor announces the stop at Utopia Station due to the heavy storm, Wendel decides to exit and find an inn, prioritizing safety over the inconvenience.

As the storm closes in, Wendel and the passengers are left to navigate the mysterious Utopia Station, where Tracey and Theodore’s enigmatic presence still lingers. With tensions simmering beneath the surface, the stage is set for a thrilling adventure, filled with intrigue, danger, and the unknown.

Chapter 1331 – Pleasure in Helping Others

As Wendel exits the steam locomotive at Utopia Station, he stumbles upon a mysterious scene: a young woman, Tracey, standing over a lifeless body, holding a blood-stained dagger. Wendel’s calm demeanor and Beyonder powers allow him to assess the situation, and he takes charge, instructing the hotel owner to call the police. Tracey, seemingly detached, reveals the victim was her abusive lover, who had threatened her and refused to let her leave.

As Wendel pieces together the events, he discovers the dark underbelly of Tracey’s past, including her entrapment as a mistress and her desperate attempts to escape. Wendel’s pity and sense of justice drive him to testify on Tracey’s behalf, stating that she acted in self-defense. The police arrive, and Wendel ensures Tracey receives medical attention for her injuries before being taken away.

As the storm rages on, Wendel’s involvement in the mysterious incident deepens, and he becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, danger, and the unknown. The enigmatic atmosphere of Utopia Station continues to unfold, with Wendel at the center, navigating the complexities of human nature and the shadows that lurk in every corner.

Chapter 1332 – Shocked in the Middle of the Nigh

Wendel’s curiosity about the mysterious document mentioning Utopia intensifies as he pieces together the events since his arrival. He becomes increasingly uneasy, sensing that his presence in Utopia is more than just a coincidence. As he reads the confidential report, his hand trembles, and he feels a chill run down his back. The report suggests that Utopia might not exist in the real world, and Wendel’s instincts scream for him to leave immediately.

With a growing sense of danger, Wendel makes a calculated decision to act normal and return to the steam locomotive station, careful not to arouse suspicion. He walks calmly through the dimly lit hotel corridor, trying to blend in, but his senses are on high alert. When an attendant questions his sudden departure, Wendel concocts a convincing excuse, playing it cool despite the tension.

As he exits the hotel, Wendel quickens his pace, his heart racing with every step. He spots a signboard for the Utopia telegraph office, but his focus remains on escaping the eerie town. With each passing moment, Wendel becomes more desperate to flee Utopia, sensing that his life depends on it. The darkness seems to be closing in around him, and he can’t shake off the feeling that he’s being watched.

Chapter 1333 – Warning Using His Experience As Example

Wendel’s tension dissipates as he realizes he’s escaped Utopia, but his mind still reels with unanswered questions. He replays his encounters in Utopia, wondering if the staff member who let him go did so because Wendel had genuinely helped Tracey. As he puffs on his cigarette, he overhears the conductor discussing Utopia’s nonexistence with a group, sending shivers down his spine once more.

Meanwhile, Alfred returns to Backlund from Eskelson Harbor, visiting acquaintances and family members along the way. Upon his return, he receives a document from MI9 revealing that Utopia Station doesn’t exist on the Desi Bay railways, nor is there a Utopia Harbor in the Berserk Sea. The report also details a murder case involving a woman named Tracey, who matches the hotel owner Alfred met in Utopia.

As Alfred delves deeper into the document, he becomes increasingly invested in the mystery surrounding Utopia and Tracey. With each new revelation, the lines between reality and the eerie world Wendel escaped begin to blur, leaving both men – and the reader – craving answers.

Chapter 1334 – Night With The Moon

In the MI9 office building on Bellotto Street, Xio, the deputy team leader of the “National Security and Counter-Espionage Team,” receives a mission from Lieutenant General Pantek, the team leader, to investigate Utopia. The mission seems low-risk, but Xio’s initial excitement turns to regret upon learning that multiple people have entered Utopia through various means, yet its true location remains unknown. The lack of leads and the impossibility of deducing the rules surrounding Utopia make it a daunting task.

Xio informs her team members about the mission, warning them to exercise caution and abandon the task if the situation becomes precarious. Her thoughts wander to the Tarot Gathering, where she hopes to glean information from Mr. World about Utopia. As she returns home, Xio is troubled by the Blood Moon rising in the sky, reminiscent of the apocalypse she has been trying to prevent.

In the adjacent room, Fors, a Sequence 4 demigod, lies in bed, enduring the torment of her direct conversation with Mr. Door. He explains the benefits of advancing to Sequence 3, including increased powers and stability, as well as the ability to explore the cosmos and experience true dead silence, barrenness, and magnificence. As the chapter closes, Xio’s desperation to uncover Utopia’s secrets and Fors’s gradual adaptation to her conversations with Mr. Door leave readers wondering what lies ahead.

Chapter 1335 – “I“

In a police station, Miss Tracey sits across from two officers, introspective about her past mistakes and the societal pressures that led her to prioritize material wealth over dignity. She regrets her fervent pursuit of money, realizing that her education and environment taught her that decency equals opulence and elegance. As she awaits trial, she requests books on sociology and education, leaving the officers surprised.

Meanwhile, in a separate scene, a mysterious narrator sits at a mottled table, listening to Miss Judgment describe the Utopia incident. The narrator identifies the incident as a ritual, piquing the interest of Mr. Hanged Man, Miss Justice, and others. The narrator is prepared to deflect suspicion by linking the ritual to the ancient sun god and the Kings of Angels, but the others remain silent, possibly connecting the dots or believing the ritual is meant to aid Mr. Fool’s awakening.

As the narrator presses Miss Tracey for information, she reveals her parents’ passing and lack of relatives, her ethereal voice hinting at a deeper connection to the mysterious events unfolding around her. The narrator records her words, while the readers are left wondering about Miss Tracey’s true nature and her connection to the enigmatic world of Utopia.
