Lord of the Mysteries: Lord of Order

The four figures seated on the stone chairs at the lower end of the palace trembled uncontrollably, some dreadful associations coming to mind.

That vast and distant voice did not heed them, or perhaps it simply didn't care about their feelings, and continued speaking.

"There are 22 years left until the arrival of the Apocalypse. The gods are about to face their twilight, the land will be torn apart, and everything in the world will cease to exist."

"You are the fortunate ones chosen by me. You will work with my Blessed to provide necessary assistance for my recovery and contribute to resisting the Apocalypse."

"Of course, during this process, I will provide you with certain assistance and protection to help you grow as quickly as possible. You may refer to me as the 'Lord of Order'."

Louise Sears forcefully suppressed the shock and fear in her heart, gathered her courage, and slightly raised her head to face the hidden existence shrouded in dark gold mist on the throne, whose form was unclear.

"Respected Lord of Order, may I ask the meaning behind the arrival of the Apocalypse and the Twilight of the Gods? Are we truly only 22 years away from the Apocalypse?"

As a member of an ancient extraordinary race that has existed since the Second Epoch, even though she was still young and had just reached adulthood, she had recently carefully studied many mystical books within the Sanguine in order to travel through the various nations of the Northern Continent.

But strangely, she had not found any prophecies or records about the arrival of the Apocalypse or the Twilight of the Gods.

Although the other three figures nearby did not speak, they were also paying close attention, hoping to receive an answer and learn more hidden knowledge.

Aaron thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to instill a sense of urgency in the members of the gathering. With a thought, the dark gold mist rippled, and the vast and distant voice sounded again, like a god's whisper.

"The truth of the Apocalypse is something you are not yet qualified to know. At the very least, you must become Angels to be qualified to understand. You only need to know that when the Apocalypse arrives, even gods may fall."

"In these remaining 22 years, you will cooperate with my Blessed to provide necessary assistance for my recovery, and in return, gain the power to protect your loved ones and friends during the Apocalypse."

The magnificent great hall fell into silence, the four people on the stone chairs each stunned by such a hidden and terrifying piece of news.

Unlike the confusion of the other three, as a member of an extraordinary race, Louise Sears clearly knew what an Angel was and what it represented.

Angels refer to Beyonders of Sequence 2 and Sequence 1, who are already quite close to the position of True Gods, possessing various strange characteristics, and can even influence lower-sequence individuals of their pathway to some extent within a certain range. They are significant figures standing at the pinnacle of the real world.

In major churches, only the Popes, Patriarchs, and some legendary ascetics are terrestrial Angels, while within the Sanguine, only the three Great Dukes currently in charge of the Sanguine are Angels.

Louise couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling that she had come into contact with some incredibly significant secrets and was somewhat fearful because of it.

However, the other three people around her showed similar reactions, making her seem not out of place.

Aaron felt it was about time; it was his turn, as the Blessed of this great hidden existence, to speak and move the gathering forward.

So, he adjusted his posture on the high-backed chair beneath the throne, turned his head to look at the four people on the stone chairs below, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"You need not worry. My Lord is not an evil god, nor one of those malevolent hidden existences."

"The great Lord of Order will bring hope and light to the land, bring order to the chaotic future, and will also bring you power and glory."

After saying this in a gentle but fervent tone, Aaron felt his toes could curl up and dig out a two-bedroom, three-living-room apartment from the floor in embarrassment.

This kind of shameless act of pretending to be someone else and praising himself in front of many people made him feel somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.

What if someone found out in the future? Wouldn't that be social death on the spot?

No, absolutely no one must know. And this kind of boasting will definitely have to be done frequently in the future; I must get used to it, adapt to it.

He thought of Klein's initial awkwardness and caution when pretending to be The Fool, and how he could still quickly adjust his mindset and stabilize his emotions even after his true thoughts were revealed in the Hall of Truth in the "City of Miracles," Liveseyd.

Indeed, everyone needs to grow. Aaron muttered inwardly while secretly reflecting.

As his voice fell, the gazes of the four people on the stone chairs were all focused on the figure on the high-backed chair.

"This must be the Blessed of this hidden existence named the Lord of Order." The four of them simultaneously made this judgment in their hearts.

"Your current levels are still very low, so except for some matters involving high levels and high statuses which will receive assistance from the great Lord of Order,"

"For other matters, including some hidden knowledge, hidden history, Beyonder weapons, etc., you can inquire with me and trade with me."

Aaron's purpose was simple: to continue elevating the status of the Lord of Order, emphasizing that only matters involving high levels and high statuses would receive direct assistance, while everything else would be handled by him, the Blessed.

Otherwise, having to seek help directly from the Lord of Order even for a Sequence 9 Beyonder ingredient would be too demeaning. Isn't the face of me, a hidden existence, important?

Having the assistance provided by the Blessed, played by himself, neither lowers the status nor fails to provide effective help, and it also allows him to ask for some rewards that would be inconvenient for a divine-level hidden existence to mention. Hmm... three birds with one stone.

Moreover, there's no need to mobilize spirituality to simulate the Lord of Order's response, which can reduce a lot of spiritual consumption and extend the duration of the gathering.

After all, at his Sequence 9 level, hosting a gathering of four people at once was quite taxing.

Furthermore, it conveyed to all attendees that in the real world, there was also a powerful force believing in the Lord of Order, capable of providing a lot of hidden knowledge, hidden history, and Beyonder weapons.

This promptly dispelled any negative thoughts they might have and gave them some confidence in quickly advancing and gaining power in the extraordinary world.

Sidd Watson's eyes immediately lit up. The confusion and fear in his heart were also forcefully suppressed, and he couldn't help but speak in a slightly trembling voice:

"Respected Blessed, members of the Numinous Episcopate have secretly contacted me, expressing their desire to recruit me, and have only given me one day to consider."

"The crazy behaviors and ideas displayed by the Numinous Episcopate frighten me; I do not want to become like them, but they require my response tomorrow. If I refuse, I fear I will be silenced. Please tell me what I should do?"

The other three also turned their gazes towards him. Even Ferran Eddas, who didn't know much about the extraordinary world, having heard enough drunken chatter and boasts from pirates in taverns in Hakata Port, roughly knew that it was an evil hidden organization.
