Appearance
Kelon is a bald man with heterochromia. During the period in which he contained Pandora's Magic Box, he became severely weakened, pale, and unable to stand without assistance 454 718.
- Bald head and differently colored eyes 454
- Appeared physically close in age to Master Gou when first introduced 454
- His illness later left him gaunt, ashen-eyed, and dependent on medical attendants 718
- Could enlarge his body to immense scale, though this did not proportionally increase his mass or density 969 971
Background / History
Kelon served the Blue White Society as its Minister of Containment and one of its Grand Arbiters. In this capacity, he favored practical value over suspicion: when Mo Qiong's origins were uncertain, Kelon argued that a person capable of bringing revolutionary containment power should be accepted and used, regardless of whether he might be a spy 454.
At some point, Kelon voluntarily entered the Fountain of Alaya. The process killed him once before a partner revived him, at the cost of permanently halving the Mental Power of humanity and of those who later awakened Mental Power 719. The modification made his body a Human Universe, allowing Pandora's Magic Box to be transplanted into him. An intelligent bacterial civilization developed in his lymphatic system and initially bore the disasters generated by the Box, while Kelon's own body suffered organ failure, mutations, cancer, hunger, illness, and an increasingly shortened lifespan 718 719 720.
Seeking a permanent answer to the containment crisis, Kelon consumed the Golden Apple for Root Perception and pursued the theoretical Heavenly Ghost state. He concluded that enough time spent perceiving root information might reveal an ultimate containment measure for Absolute Traits 755 756. Knowing that the Fifth Element could grant soul immortality, he had Mo Qiong retrieve its pineal gland and merged with it in the Valley of Terror despite opposition from the other Arbiters 757.
The Fifth Element preserved Kelon's soul as an indestructible regular dodecahedron, but condemned him to eternal torment whenever he died. Inside the Valley of Terror, he endured extreme isolation and torture by the Ancient Gods while they exploited his Root Perception to seek an escape from World Creation Mountain 805 807. He nevertheless covertly aided Mo Qiong by revealing information about the Ancient Gods' weaknesses 815 827.
After Mo Qiong's group rescued him from World Creation Mountain, Kelon remained trapped in an immortal dead state until the Insectoid Empress resurrected him. He accepted the Blue White Society presidency in order to remain alive, even as the Fifth Element left him with a limited lifespan 854 855 856. At his inauguration, he appointed Chimu as President's Arbiter and granted him authority to veto any of Kelon's decisions 869.
Kelon's fear of returning to eternal torment ultimately overtook his former restraint. He orchestrated an attempt to destroy the Apocalypse Chessboard and end the Containment Era by deleting the universe, released all three thousand Ancient Gods, and manipulated Society authority to advance his plan 968 971. Mo Qiong stopped him and eventually executed him, sealing both Kelon's body and immortal soul to prevent further interference with reality 973 975.
Personality
Kelon was initially magnanimous, pragmatic, and willing to take calculated risks for humanity. He judged people by their ability to contribute rather than by their origins, and believed that the Blue White Society should dare to employ anyone who followed its rules and could strengthen containment 454.
As a senior Arbiter, he could be notably empathetic. When Radian learned that any child of his would inherit the dangerous Tribulation Transcender Trait, Kelon refused to impose his own preference and presented him with the consequences of either choice 716. He also urged Mo Qiong to respect ideological enemies rather than dismiss their conviction or willingness to sacrifice 754.
His suffering gradually transformed this resolve into desperation. The Golden Apple, Fifth Element, and Valley of Terror gave him a path toward knowledge, but also subjected him to prolonged torment and the terror of an immortal death. After resurrection, his desire to survive became inseparable from his decisions; he eventually abandoned his prior principles in pursuit of a final escape from the Containment Era 855 968 973.
“The higher your value, the more trustworthy you are.” 454
“If the ultimate measure doesn't exist... then we are effectively without a dream.” 756
Abilities & Skills
Root Perception
After consuming the Golden Apple, Kelon could sense and analyze the origins, structure, and properties of traits and objects.
- Identified old injuries and traced Mo Qiong's chest scar to its source 711
- Perceived several of Mo Qiong's traits, including the Deep Diver Effect and Hetero-blooded Person Effect, but could not detect Absolute Hit 711
- Determined that Aether's soul possessed absolute immortality and deduced Aether's use of self-created personalities to evade deification 712
- Detected that Wade's childhood memories were false and sealed by an unusual method 722
- Could perceive the traits and weaknesses of Ancient Gods, supplying Mo Qiong with vital intelligence while imprisoned 815 827
- Had limits: he could not sense certain traits, including Mo Qiong's Absolute Hit and the information of some exceptionally powerful entities 711 1007
Human Universe
The Fountain of Alaya altered Kelon's body into a universe-recognized vessel capable of sustaining a civilization 719.
- Hosted an intelligent bacterial civilization descended from Staphylococcus aureus in his lymphatic system 719
- Allowed Pandora's Magic Box disasters to be transferred inward, sparing the external universe 719 720
- Required the Blue White Society to suppress his immune system and provide nutrients so the bacterial civilization could survive its early development 719
- The civilization's growth consumed Kelon's bodily resources and contributed to his physical decline 719
Pandora's Magic Box Containment
Kelon personally served as the containment measure for Pandora's Magic Box 718.
- Endured illness, hunger, death, mutations, organ failure, and other disasters generated by the Box 718 720
- Could gain brief shares of the Box's sealing effect when disasters were escaped; a single second was enough to negate impacts at precisely timed moments 719
- His role as the Box's containment measure and its associated costs were gone after his resurrection 856
Fifth Element Immortality
By merging with the Fifth Element's pineal gland, Kelon gained an immortal soul 757 855.
- His soul became an incorruptible regular dodecahedron 854
- Death subjected him to eternal torment; revival restored him to a living state and immediately ended the pain 855
- Could not be permanently killed by ordinary means; true death required information deletion 855
- His terror of returning to this state became the central motive behind his later actions 973
Root Algorithm Applications
Kelon secretly comprehended and implemented Root Algorithm-based traits during or after his time in World Creation Mountain 809 969.
- Created a triggered face-shedding effect that removed the Demon Seal when another being touched him 969
- Regenerated beneath discarded skin, allowing him to recover from otherwise disabling injuries 969 972
- Enlarged himself to extraordinary size and used the increased height to extend the distance covered by his movement limit 969
- Used Assassin's Step to vanish from ordinary sight 970

Story Role / Major Arcs
Acceptance of Mo Qiong
Kelon meets Mo Qiong as Minister of Containment and Grand Arbiter. He dismisses conventional background checks as inadequate against a genuinely capable infiltrator and instead chooses to test the practical value of Mo Qiong's abilities 454.
Pandora's Magic Box and the Fifth Element
His deteriorating condition reveals that he is personally containing Pandora's Magic Box through his Human Universe body. Determined to seek ultimate containment measures, he consumes the Golden Apple, arranges the theft of the Fifth Element, and enters the Valley of Terror 718 719 756 757.
Imprisonment in World Creation Mountain
Kelon becomes a Heavenly Ghost-like dodecahedral soul and is captured by Ancient Gods, who force him to use Root Perception for their escape efforts. He secretly supplies Mo Qiong with information while enduring their torture 805 807 815.
Resurrection and Presidency
The Insectoid Empress resurrects Kelon, ending his immediate torment. He accepts the Blue White Society presidency and appoints Chimu as a veto-wielding overseer, seeking to prove that he can still be trusted with power 855 856 869.
Rebellion and Final Containment
Driven by the desire to end both the Containment Era and his own immortal suffering, Kelon attempts to kill the Apocalypse Chess Player, releases the Ancient Gods, and seeks the deletion of the universe 968 971. Mo Qiong defeats him, then kills and seals him despite having promised to someday free him from his eternal torment 973 975.
Trivia
- Kelon's first meeting with Mo Qiong included an experiment to determine whether Absolute Hit would still function if Kelon temporarily sealed the force applied to him 719.
- He kept unfinished carvings of the Three Pure Ones in his office and discarded them in visible regret after his return from resurrection 858.
- Kelon's resignation to use the Fifth Element was so complete that the other Arbiters' obstruction was partly intended to test whether he would waver before committing himself 757.
