Wandering Mysterious Lord

Amon soon realised something had changed. The fate of the world which originally branched towards a certain direction had now spiraled into chaos. This was strange and unwelcome for a change. At least until he discovered something even stranger... 

The sequences had been derived into weaker paths... How was this possible? He could distinctively feel that three new paths had been created with him as the source. The three were diluted and weakened from the full strength of sequences, but retained their distinct characteristics. 

It's function almost worked as a limited recording ability of the Door pathway and through the paths, they would essentially request to borrow the abilities. 

Amon was sure that he wasn't an Aeon as he did not have the restriction of the pathway. But more so as if the pathway followed him. If Aeons function as the line between A<-->B and were unable to move to C<-->D, then for Amon it didn't matter whatever he did because he was not restricted by the path. 

The path simply followed him as the source rather than the line. 

His instincts told him something else was amiss. Amon shifted from his gambling attire to a comfortable cloak of gold and black. The pocket watch shone with starlight as it bloomed throughout the universe. 

The power of space dominated throughout the cosmos as Amon confirmed it. There was a faint collision of worlds. But it also meant a good thing. When the day of the apocalypse comes, he could utilise the collision of worlds to move the people of the earth to another planet free in the present cosmos. 

The sequence 0's could develop their own paths here and live peacefully without the urge to converge or hunt for beyonder sequences. They could simply walk utilise the sequences as pathstriders, forgoing the madness with the only cost being in power. 

Amon dismissed the chat group as he sent a single letter message to Amanises, Zhou and Huang Tao. As Lord of Mysteries, he could innately sense that the barrier defending earth from the old ones was not going to last long. It'd be better to move as many people as they could. Some would be left behind but that was the nature of things. 

He was replied swiftly with a yes from all parties as they started the move. Amon used the control over change to halt the collision of worlds in order to keep it open but also ready to close. Just enough time for Evernight to finish accommodating the River of Eternal Darkness. Take and hide as many sefirot as possible, leave the rest as bait and move as many humans as possible to the world of Star Rail. As for deities? He only cared about his friends, anything else wasn't included. 

Good news was that Amon had some negotiations with Mother Goddess of Depravity. Both equal as pillars, Amon offered her something she couldn't refuse, the Brood Hive. 

Upon removing the corruption from Roselle, Amon would offer up the Brood Hive on a silver platter. Assuming that she would be the one to get it. 

Right now fate was being directed in a direction that would allow the people and sequence 0's relatively safe. The only losers being the old ones outside the barrier. 

The plan was to set them all on a battle royale for the sefirots and uniquenesses while everyone else would run away leaving the old ones their leftovers. 

Amon's avatars were still relaying information on the Astral Express crew and Kafka. Amon smiled knowing Kafka was still well and Stelle was facing hardships that would soon develop her into a capable fighter. 

The moment everyone was ready Amon sent them through first and got ready for hell on earth, no old one would be stupid enough to not realise that they were being given the leftovers and the main dishes would never appear again. 

Roselle immediately revived only to be whisked away while naked. 

At this time, a mass teleportation occurred as every human within range was teleported to the uninhabited planet designated by Amon. 

The great old ones pressed harder as Mother Goddess of Depravity joined them as well. 

In an instant he grafted the Brood Hive to the centre of all of them as the barrier shattered with his disappearance. 

While this meant that they had lost quite a few sefirots and uniquenesses, it wasn't a bad trade considering that they were now free. Free from the cycle that tormented them. 

Amon sighed as he met with Amanises, "Congratulations on becoming an Above the Sequence." Amanises smiled "It's thanks to your little scheme and idea, however our baboon is still lamenting over missing out on the Nation of Disorder." 

You should be feeling it by now, the paths should be developing. Amanises nodded "A much safer way to gain power for the common person so long as they walk the path." 

A door appeared and a small girl walked through "Assistant! What did you call me for?" Amanises grinned "Assistant to this little girl? The great Lord of Mysteries?" 

Amon sighed "I needed a job and identity when I first got here. Besides, Herta is a good friend and she'll help us out with reforming the planet the moment she realises that there is a new path development outside of being an Aeon." 

Huang Tao nodded "Yes I do feel it, a path of sorts. Quite the nifty function, considering we get admin access to our sequences or paths whatever you call it." 

Herta listened intently "This is amazing~ I would like to research about these new sequence paths. Of course, you'll be credited too, Assistant. Good resume already for member #85"

Amon sighed "I'll leave it to my avatar to set up my churches. You should probably set up your churches as well, this cosmos has a big thing about factions."

Amon sighed as he sat next to Herta, The Herta. Herta glanced at him "So what's with the two sudden gods on par with Aeons and an emanator like being?" Amon smirked "Would you believe me if I told you there were more? Although they've likely been ripped apart by now. Those three are the ones I care about the most. Friends."

Herta raised an eyebrow, "In a different world, one could become a god by walking a road of madness. The moment you chose to walk the path of your choosing to becoming a god, it decides allies and enemies. The path is burdened with madness and bloodshed. By killing a god, you can gain a uniqueness which is required to become a god and their characteristics." 

Herta nodded "So I'm guessing there was some large threat to the world and you could only take the humans near you and your friends. Meaning the threats wanted the characteristics and uniquenesses."

Amon nodded, "Although thanks to the rules here, the madness has been removed with the cost of having the abilities diluted and simplified. However, for those like us? There is no dilution only those who have yet to walk this path."

Amon got up and brushed his cloak, the gold inner layer of his cloak was shining bright as he made his way back up to the Sefirah Castle.

Immediately the cosmos was in an uproar from the articles of #83 and #85 of the Genius Society. Turns out, Aha was the one who had released the news. Amon was one of the three new Aeon like beings, although not exactly an Aeon, they held their respective paths. 

The information on the Church of Evernight, Church of Mysteries and the Curly Haired Baboon Society had spread throughout the cosmos as allies of the new three paths. 

Although those who had joined the Church of Mysteries would realise that the Church had access to three paths. 

The Curly Haired Baboon Society was well... Inspired by Herta. Amanises, Zhou and Amon recognised it as the baboon glazing society. 

Rosselle eats an apple: "Quick buy up apples!" 

Rosselle wins a game of mahjong: "Quick celebration." 

It was incredibly frustrating watching the glazing over every single little celebration.

Sefirah Castle:

"Self Draw!" Amanises tilted over her tiles with a grin as Amon, Zhou and Huang Tao could only sigh. Ever since Amanises got the hang of mahjong it had become increasingly difficult to win.

Zhou got up first as he informed the rest "I need to get back home soon. Benson and Melissa will be worried sick. I did tell them I had a high position as ambassador of Evernight and Mysteries churches, but I still have to cook, Melissa has been complaining for days and Benson is busy with work so I'll have to take care of the niece." 

Amanises, Huang Tao and Amon gave him a shit eating grin, "Go on sister-con~" 

Amon sighed as the three returned to playing the new Smashy Brothers released by Interastral Peace Company. All three were decimated by a single player...

Huang Tao was raging while Amanises's extra arm was twirling the scythe. Amon simply gave a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes as Sefirah Castle reflected the mood of all three of them. 

"CHEATER!" 

The three frantically started typing into the chat only to be refuted "It's not cheating if I'm using my abilities, It's not like I'm hacking~" 

The three of them gave a shit eating grin. "Abilities?" 

If there was one thing the group had in common, they were petty beyond reason. Little did Silver Wolf know, she had attracted the heated gaze of three deities.
