Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 1366-1380

Chapter 1366 – Set Up

As Klein confronts Pauli Derlau in the Garden of Eden, he discovers the leader’s true body, formed from a grayish-white brain-like mist. Klein accelerates the formation of the Dreamweaver Beyonder characteristic, acquires the necessary materials, and exits the Garden, leaving behind a legendary tale that will spread through dreams.

Back at the Hall family manor, Klein hands over the Dreamweaver Beyonder characteristics and potion formula to Miss Justice, offering her a chance to advance. He then disappears and reappears in front of Judgment Xio, proposing an offer: in exchange for obtaining the Imperative Mage potion formula, she must agree to help awaken Mr. Fool when the apocalypse arrives and he falls into slumber.

Xio seriously considers the offer, weighing her current life as a Sequence 5 Disciplinary Paladin against the looming threat of the apocalypse, which Mr. Fool has prophesied. With only sixteen years left, Xio must decide whether to take the risk and accept the deal, or decline and hope for another opportunity to arise.

Chapter 1367 – Distributary

Klein, now capable of using most Beyonder powers below Sequence 0 of the Apprentice pathway, arrives in Calderón City, the divine kingdom of ancient Death—Phoenix Ancestor Gregrace, to obtain the river water of the River of Eternal Darkness. He brings the Staff of the Stars, a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, as a close-combat weapon, knowing it may come in handy in regions that nullify Beyonder powers. As he explores the city, he uses his Sefirah Castle’s status to resist the laws that turn living beings into the dead, and the Marauder pathway’s Beyonder powers to steal the distance of his perception, avoiding entanglements with monsters.

Venturing deeper into the city, Klein realizes that the monsters are intimidated by the aura of Sefirah Castle, allowing him to move undisturbed. The environment becomes increasingly quieter and more ominous, with intact but dead buildings and an eerie silence that threatens to consume him. His intuition warns him that getting too comfortable in this environment could lead to his own demise.

As he nears the bottom of the pit, Klein comes face to face with a huge, black palace propped up by columns of bones and corpse pieces. He enters the palace, walking past coffins that seem to stir to life before falling silent again. Ignoring the eerie atmosphere, Klein proceeds down a grayish-white stone staircase, guided by a bronze bird-shaped statue and an inscription on the stone monument written in the Language of the Dead.

Chapter 1368 – Death Imprin

As Klein approaches the River of Eternal Darkness, he’s confronted by Death Salinger, whose rotting body lets out a deafening roar that shakes Calderón City. The distributary of the river surges towards Klein, but his grayish-white cocoon protects him from the torrent. Amidst the chaos, Klein notices multiple figures resembling Azik Eggers wandering around the riverbanks, seemingly dissociated from their main self. Suddenly, a pale-white hand emerges from the fog, grabbing Klein’s calf, and he discovers that the “water ghost” is none other than another version of himself, Klein Moretti.

More hands belonging to different blurry figures, all with Klein’s face, grasp his body, making him feel cold and helpless. The “water ghosts” pull him into the depths of the water, and his thoughts begin to fade. But Klein’s consciousness returns to his original body, where he uses the power of Sefirah Castle to steal a golden bird-shaped accessory. He realizes the true nature of the four figures, imprints of his own deaths, and the danger they pose.

Klein’s deductions lead him to understand the risks associated with the River of Eternal Darkness, the secrets of Death Salinger and Azik Eggers, and the potential consequences of their resurrections. He concludes that helping Azik and the Evernight Goddess might be the key to resolving this crisis, leaving him with a sense of unease and determination to uncover the mysteries of the River of Eternal Darkness.

Chapter 1369 – Pomp

Klein returns to the real world, weighing the golden bird-shaped accessory in his hand, and sets up an altar for a sacrificial ritual to ask the Evernight Goddess a crucial question. As he passes the accessory through the Door of Sacrifice and Bestowment, he’s dragged into a dream, where he finds himself in a gothic palace within the Evernight Goddess’s realm. The goddess, shrouded in fishnet veils, receives the accessory and descends to Klein, her voice like a lullaby as she answers his question about the grayish-white fog surrounding the River of Eternal Darkness.

She reveals that the fog is a seal created by the Lord of the Mysteries, also known as the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, which has enveloped not only the river but the entire Western Continent, sealing away multiple sefirot, including the City of Calamity. Klein is amazed by the sheer scale of the Lord’s power and wonders how such a Great Old One could perish. The Evernight Goddess shares that the Lord of the Mysteries died together with the ancient God Almighty, forming the first Blasphemy Slate and Uniqueness of the Marauder pathway.

Klein ponders the motives behind the battle between the two pillars of the universe, questioning why they would engage in a life-or-death conflict. The Evernight Goddess’s gentle response hints at an instinctual convergence, leaving Klein with more questions and a deeper sense of unease as he delves deeper into the mysteries of the River of Eternal Darkness.

Chapter 1370 – Decisive

The Evernight Goddess’s dream projection shares insight into the era of humanity’s birth, nourishment, and memories, hinting that Klein’s connection to her is tied to his own humanity. She offers him a way out: to abandon his path to becoming a Great Old One and “Wander” to other planets, avoiding the Outer Deities’ pursuit. However, Klein is skeptical, knowing that escape is only a temporary strategy and that the recreated civilization would eventually be destroyed.

The Evernight Goddess proposes an alternative: using Pallez’s method to lower his level and allowing Amon to steal Sefirah Castle, ensuring Klein’s safety as a Sequence 1 angel. However, Klein is hesitant, questioning Amon’s trustworthiness and the potential consequences of the Lord of the Mysteries awakening in Amon’s body. The Evernight Goddess’s ambiguous responses only fuel Klein’s doubts.

In the end, Klein decides to press on, refusing to betray those who have placed their bets on him. He prepares to face Antigonus, knowing that he must rely on Sefirah Castle to produce an avatar and accommodate the Uniqueness of the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic. With his mental state stabilized, Klein is ready to take the next step, driven by his humanity and determination to avoid becoming a god.

Chapter 1371 – Who are Allies and Who are Foes

As Alger Wilson returns to his room in the Church of the Sea God, he’s surprised by Gehrman Sparrow’s sudden appearance. Under Mr. Fool’s orders, Klein presents Alger with a gifts – the Sea God Scepter, symbolizing the Sea God’s identity, level, and strength. Alger is drawn to its power, and Klein instructs him to follow Mr. Fool’s instructions, hinting at potential future challenges.

As Alger receives the scepter, Klein shares details about its abilities and warns of its negative effects, including increased irritability, spiritual chaos, and monthly blood draining. Despite these side effects, Alger is relieved, knowing that he’ll be able to adapt to his new role as a Sea God.

With the Sea God Scepter in hand, Alger is tasked with concocting the Cataclysmic Interrer potion, while Klein plans to transfer the concept of “Sea God” to Alger once he’s stabilized as the Attendant of Mysteries. The chapter concludes with Klein vanishing, leaving Alger to contemplate his new responsibilities and the mysterious future ahead.

Chapter 1372 – The Other Use of the Magic Wishing Lamp

Klein visits Queen Mystic Bernadette, borrowing the Magic Wishing Lamp for a day, which she agrees to without hesitation. As he returns to Sefirah Castle, the Genie within the lamp greets him, reminding him of their previous agreement and warning him that any new wishes will be accumulated on both himself and Bernadette. The Genie refuses to permit Klein to transfer Bernadette’s wishes onto himself, citing the rules of the lamp.

Klein realizes his mistake in not reconsidering the ownership of the lamp earlier, which would have allowed him to avoid the current predicament. He proposes using “Tampering” or “Theft” to graft the ownership of the lamp from Bernadette to himself, but the Genie remains unmoved, intending to distort any attempts to manipulate the rules. Klein resorts to using his wit, drawing an analogy between the situation and investors, implying that the Genie might be motivated to assist him if it means recouping its own “investment.”

The Genie laughs at Klein’s cunning words, but remains firm in its stance, insisting that Klein must help remove the seal on the lamp to avoid further complications. As their conversation comes to a close, it becomes clear that Klein’s cleverness will be put to the test as he navigates the complex web of rules and consequences surrounding the Magic Wishing Lamp.

Chapter 1373 – Facing

Klein’s avatar, a blueprint of his current state, struggles to extract dark light from Sefirah Castle’s main body, showcasing its limited capabilities in actual combat. As he loses more Beyonder characteristics, he feels relieved but must resist the Celestial Worthy’s corrupting influence with his stabilized self-awareness and anchors. Meanwhile, his avatar is overwhelmed by the Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic, transforming it into a twisted, Zaratul-like figure that rapidly loses control.

Klein promptly terminates the process, preparing himself for the upcoming battle by digesting the potion, creating a Sequence 1 marionette, and reviewing his strategy to minimize flaws. He creates another avatar and readies Creeping Hunger for potential small-scale battles. With his preparations complete, Klein sets his sights on the ancient, fog-shrouded palace on the Hornacis mountain range, where he “Grafts” the location to the astral world.

As he approaches the palace with his marionette and avatar, Klein finds a dark, altered interior, hinting at the Evernight Goddess’s involvement in placing the Antigonus family’s ancestor in eternal slumber. The scene is set for an epic confrontation, with Klein poised to face unknown challenges and forge his own destiny.

Chapter 1374 – Trojan Horse of Destiny

Klein stands before the Half-Fool, Antigonus, in the ancient, fog-shrouded palace on the Hornacis mountain range, where he “Grafts” the location to the astral world. He observes the dark, altered interior, hinting at the Evernight Goddess’s involvement in placing Antigonus in eternal slumber. Klein’s gaze falls upon the Trunsoest Brass Book, which he realizes uses powers similar to “Grafting” to complete the seal. He instructs his Attendant of Mysteries marionette to “Graft” the starting point to the endpoint, testing Antigonus’s condition and eliminating potential interference.

As Klein approaches Antigonus, he’s met with an air of mystery, empathizing with the extraordinary being who was deeply fond of the small, peaceful, and isolated Nation of the Evernight. With the Trunsoest Brass Book secured, Klein attempts to steal Antigonus’s identity, fate, and self-awareness, but fails due to the significant difference in power between the two. Undeterred, Klein persists, expecting the Evernight Goddess to maintain the concealment effect, allowing him ample time to continue his attempts.

After numerous failed attempts, Klein has a sudden epiphany, predicting something, and reaches out to try again. This time, he succeeds, feeling an invisible force leave Antigonus’s body and float towards him. An indescribable river of light with countless distributaries appears, flowing forward and drowning one distributary after another, merging them into the main river.

Chapter 1375 – Beginning the Accommodation

As doors simultaneously open and close in Backlund, Trier, Lenburg, and St. Millom without a breeze, Lucca Brewster senses something amiss in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom’s headquarters. He discovers an unnerving silence in the underground area, where a terrifying Sealed Artifact’s voice has been erased, hinting at extreme danger lurking nearby. This Artifact’s sealing could only mean one of two things: it has escaped or been further sealed, preventing its influence on the outside world.

Meanwhile, Amon showcases “His” new Beyonder powers, shutting off everything related to doors worldwide, strengthening seals and eliminating most Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts in the subsequent battle of gods. This temporary authority will give “Him” an advantage, but its effects won’t last long. Amon waits patiently for the concealment to be lifted, signaling the start of Klein’s ritual to accommodate The Fool’s Uniqueness.

In the concealed world of the Evernight Goddess, Klein’s consciousness is like a sailboat in a storm, threatened by the awakening of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings and Antigonus’s self-awareness and mental imprint. As his thoughts turn chaotic, he struggles to maintain his sanity and find a balance between his own identity and the essence of Antigonus. With his anchors’ help, Klein manages to resist the initial chaos, but the “mind storm” still rages on, testing his limits.

Chapter 1376 – Half a Great Old One

Inside the abstract astral world, three illusory kingdoms are sealed within prism-like spots of light, each undergoing a violent transformation. One kingdom is engulfed in perpetual daylight, with miniature suns surging into a blinding golden sun that cannot break through the light barrier. Another kingdom, formed from books, sees mysterious symbols searching for a critical point to destroy the barrier. Meanwhile, a boundless sea is ravaged by lightning, wind, and rain, with a violent “wave” striking the light spot, turning it into falling specks of light.

Adam, envisioning three Uniquenesses, uses “Himself” and the True Creator as pillars to accommodate them into the system, forcefully suppressing the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom within their respective divine kingdoms. This ancient sun god’s plan is to resurrect using the Visionary and The Hanged Man pathways, gaining initial control over the Chaos Sea and eventually becoming the Lord of the Astral World.

Amon, now aware of the unfolding events, leaps into the astral world, accompanied by the first Blasphemy Slate, which he had previously used to seal the gap caused by Mr. Door’s returning ritual. With this powerful artifact, Amon is poised to take control of the Chaos Sea and continue his ascent towards becoming a Great Old One.

Chapter 1377 – Crazy Ravings

Demonesses of varying sizes wreak havoc on the Hornacis mountain range, causing the ancient palace walls to collapse and exposing Klein to the astral world. As python-like black tentacles threaten to engulf the palace, a crimson moon rises, and a cluster of wheat, flowers, mushrooms, and trees bursts forth, sealing the palace and blocking the demonesses. Earth Mother, controlling The Moon’s Uniqueness, fends off Primordial Demoness Cheek in a stalemate.

Meanwhile, a flux of massive information, the Hidden Sage, crashes into the barrier of nature, tearing through the gaps between the plants to reach Klein. A blurry light shot out from the void, revealing picture-like projections around Klein, showcasing the development of human civilization. The God of Craftsmanship, now known as the God of Steam and Machinery, has maintained rationality and resisted madness, allowing the Hidden Sage’s information flux to be contained.

As Klein puts on the translucent mask, representing The Fool’s Uniqueness, numerous figures appear around him, all wearing crystal monocles or circular emblems – the avatars of Mr. Error Amon. They reveal a sinister “smile” and utter cryptic words, implying that Klein has overlooked the Primordial Demoness and is too weak, and that Amon is the better choice for gaining power.

Chapter 1378 – Change of Plans

Klein’s world is turned upside down as the avatars of Mr. Error Amon surround him, their crystal monocles emitting pure light stolen from the ancient sun god’s eternal daytime effect. This light, combined with Klein’s ability to control seal strength, awakens the mental imprint of Antigonus and the will of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, unleashing a maelstrom of madness, cruelty, and bloodthirstiness in Klein’s mind.

As Klein struggles to maintain balance, the Amons attempt to “steal” his lucidity, with some succeeding and stealing his self-awareness for brief moments, causing chaos and corruption within him. The situation spirals out of control, with Klein’s body transforming into clusters of transparent maggots and extending sinister tentacles.

In a desperate bid to regain control, Klein initiates his final contingency plan, using his instincts and experience to fuse his body with the Attendant of Mysteries marionette and Zaratul’s mental imprint, hoping to create chaos and buy time. However, the Amons continue to thwart his plans, stealing his lucidity and attempting to throw him into chaos once more.

Chapter 1379 – Combining Forces

The curtain shielding the Antigonus palace vanishes, causing the astral world to tremble and the entire planet to experience earthquakes. The Brown Planet, Orange Planet, Scarlet Planet, and others emit light of different textures, signaling the attempts of Outer Deities to break the barrier. The Magic Wishing Lamp in Klein’s pocket reacts, pulling the Trunsoest Brass Book into its palm and adding a new rule: “Resurrection of the deceased is prohibited here!”

As the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings in Klein’s main body attempts to take control, the fog of history begins to merge into one, revealing fragments of Klein’s past as The Fool. However, the present history is that Mr. Fool is a great existence awakening, the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings from ancient times. The rule restriction put in effect by the Genie using the Trunsoest Brass Book weakens the will of the Lord of the Mysteries inside Klein’s main body.

Amon focuses most of its attention on Klein’s main body, attempting to steal the effects of the “eternal daytime.” Meanwhile, a small number of Amons target Klein, who uses “Grafting” and “Paper Figurine Substitutes” to block their attacks. The Lord of the Mysteries begins to resist, controlling powers from its pathway, and Amon gives up on Klein, focusing on three matters: stealing the effects of the “eternal daytime,” resisting the Lord of the Mysteries, and attempting to steal Antigonus’s state of eternal slumber.

Chapter 1380 – A Miracle

Over a thousand Amons commit “Theft,” attempting to steal the effects of the “eternal daytime,” but their efforts are thwarted by the new rule on the Trunsoest Brass Book: “Acts of theft are prohibited here!” This gives Klein an opportunity to activate Sefirah Castle and create a convergence effect on The Fool’s potion, which envelops him in a translucent, shape-shifting liquid. Meanwhile, in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, an ancient sun god writes a prophecy on the illusory surface of the sea, declaring that Antigonus’s efforts to become The Fool have ultimately failed.

This ominous declaration makes Klein realize that if he doesn’t give up Antigonus’s identity and fate, he’ll be restricted by the prophecy, but if he does, he’ll lose control of the Sequence 9 and 1 Beyonder characteristics in his body. As the ancient sun god writes the sentence, the Eternal Blazing Sun, Lord of Storms, and God of Knowledge and Wisdom launch counterattacks to interfere with each other’s actions. The Amons are forced to “Blink” everywhere, and some of them even turn into plants or words imprinted on illusory books.

In the midst of this chaos, a small number of Amons manage to “return” Klein’s thoughts of suicide, which were previously stolen from him. This thought invades Klein’s mind, making him feel an intense cold and sticky liquid and tempting him to give up. However, with the knowledge from his Antigonus mental imprint, Klein barely suppresses the thought and continues his advancement ritual, feeling his mind and body corrode further by The Fool’s potion. As he extends his consciousness, Klein becomes one with the bodies of believers, animals, and every living thing, experiencing godhood in everything.
