Mediation

The one who sealed the unfortunate Genie inside was none other than the former "Lord of the Mysteries." Klein listened to Neph's words, shook his head slightly, and asked:

"Why did He seem so uninterested when He heard that I no longer needed the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Miracle Invoker '?"

Neph smiled, her eyes crinkling:

"Isn't it obvious? If you still need that Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Miracle Invoker,' He can try to persuade you to release Him and take away that Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Miracle Invoker '..."

"Hmm, but thinking about it that way, He wasn't smart enough. If it were me, after realizing you weren't the ' Lord of the Mysteries ' from before, I definitely wouldn't expose you. Instead, I would pretend I'd mistakenly identified the former ' Lord of the Mysteries ' and try to make a deal with you."

"In this way, you're facing your most familiar and comfortable environment—pretending to be in a high position. Your attention will shift to the act of pretending itself, and you'll likely overlook the inherent problems in the trading itself. For example, if I promise to return to the Cosmos, and I don't, how will you control me? Or if I do return, will there be a way to go back again?"

"Well, most importantly, you weren't at a high enough level back then. You had no way of knowing anything about the outside world. I was able to take advantage of this information gap and your relaxed state to catch you off guard..."

"... Miss ' Pure White '," Klein took a breath, "Why are you always thinking about lying?"

"Just so you know," Neph said, "And also, I'd like to confirm something."

Klein nodded slightly, looking at her questioningly. Neph raised her hand, conjuring up the shape of a flyer in front of him, and frowned, saying:

"I thought about it later, and the function she described to me was actually exactly the function of a neighborhood committee... In your memory, does Loen have any organization similar to a neighborhood committee? Like the kind that mediates family disputes and neighborhood conflicts..."

"I wouldn't say no," Klein replied quickly. "In my experience, if there's a conflict I can't handle, I wouldn't go to some ' Mediation Council ' mentioned in this flyer, but rather to the local church to find the pastor..."

"Yes," Neph said, "The priest."

"... What do you mean?" Klein put down the flyer in his hand, his expression serious.

"I went to check it out later..." Neph frowned slightly and began to explain her experience.

Neph was actually just planning to brush that person off and call it a day from the start.

But as she actually stared at the flyer, another Spirituality vision, filled with an eager anticipation, leaped forth, guiding Neph to develop Spirit Vision.

Then, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar "color" on that flyer.

It did not belong to any God or Outer Deity familiar to Neph; its overall appearance was a hazy black, overlapping with the text, making it extremely difficult to discern.

"I'm wondering if I should go check that address," she told Klein. "After all, it's not the Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree. I still have the courage to see what's going on from the outside, but as for close contact, it's best to avoid that, and..."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "The form is related to the mist, and the Authority might be tainted by the Outer Deity who mediate conflicts. I actually know one..."

And that guy is right inside the lamp...

She gently shook her head. Klein recalled the string of names she had recited earlier and asked uncertainly:

"Uncertain Mist?"

Compared to other Outer Deity whose forms cannot be determined solely by their names, "Uncertain Mist" is the Uniqueness one that incorporates "mist" into its name.

While Klein might not be familiar with conflict mediation, he was acutely aware from Neph's warning that the Pathway "Arbiter" and "Lawyer" were precisely those torn from the "Uncertain Mist."

While these two Pathway represent order and its shadow respectively, it's undeniable that "Lawyer" frequently appear in mediation, and while "Arbiter" may later take a hard line, at least in Sequence 9, they tend to mediate conflicts.

Even if the "Uncertain Mist" beyond the barrier has effectively lost these two Pathway, and naturally lost its corresponding Authority and symbolism, it is perfectly normal for connections to exist between different Pathway once held by the same Great Old One. Just as the Pathway of "Seer," "Apprentice," and "Marauder" share many commonalities.

>p/<. The large constant is still performance can be related to the "fog is not fixed" and "will be de-tuned" this, because

The latest and newest books in the content are available for reading. Please go forward.

>p/<: The question was quite interesting, and then he nodded at Enlake, who was looking at the egg. He had to mention the "Mist of Destiny" because of the unfortunate seal on the egg.

>p/<"? Is this what you meant? It's not that you didn't think of it, it's just that you mentioned the magic lamp."

>p/<: In response, Funa shook her head.

>p/<. Is it completely finished?

>p/<. Because there are many things in this area, I thought I had a magic lamp for a long time.

>p/<... The timing is just right, waiting for the right moment. Perhaps He has left something behind, or perhaps He has kept it secret, but it is not revealed. Perhaps He still exists in some kind of connection with His own essence? Who dares to say that He was deceived from the beginning of the year? But in fact, everyone who was deceived by the 'mysterious and cunning' Lord has lost all good, whether it is a symbolic representation or a fleeting trend, like the genie lamp throughout history.

>p/<". The mistake is not always in the eyes and heart, but in the second layer of existence, this pair, in the end"

>p/<: As Funa continued speaking, she nodded in Enlake.

>p/<. The question is unrelated to the divine, so there is still "

>p/<. The signs between the relationships were made clear, and He made it possible for Him to establish the correct way of life. In short, He could not help Him with too much power, or perhaps it was not enough time, or perhaps it was not enough at the next level. But I, the Lord, had already taken the first step in striving for the 'omniscient' power.

>p/<. He understood too much, yet He remained, God was beyond his reach.

She doesn't go out, she draws, she 'roams' and hides in her house every day. She is a classic figure of the second dimension, a pictograph of a housewife, and she is my 'mother'. I must say -- I am.

Communicating with people...

"Your description..." Klein's lips twitched slightly, "You make me a little curious, how would you summarize ' Lord of the Mysteries ' in your own words?"

Neph thought for a moment and replied, "Opening a shop, doing cosplay... seems like a typical anime/manga fan, but actually a total social butterfly."

"... And what about ' God Almighty '?" Klein asked again.

"I dare not say," Neph replied sincerely, "But if you really want to hear, I don't mind commenting on my Twin Sister."

"... No," Klein refused, "Alright, anyway, I understand what you mean... the Genie knows a lot about the Outer Deity?"

"Not necessarily," Neph shook her head, "But the Authority He holds is subtle, like a 'notary' in those Concealment gatherings; He might play a similar role among the Outer Deity."

Klein suddenly realized:

"You mean, He is the guarantee that others can trust and communicate with each other? Hmm... that's certainly possible. If that's the case, perhaps He initially communicated with..."

He paused, suppressing a laugh, and said:

"Of course, after you put it that way, I think it's very likely. After all, you know, to be scammed, you first need to chat with the scammer. If you don't engage with them, it's very difficult for them to achieve their goal."

"Hmm... and as someone acting as a ' Notary,' He would certainly have a fairly deep impression of the 'people' attending the gathering, or at least some understanding of them; He wouldn't be completely ignorant."

"Therefore, He must possess a certain level of information about Outer Deity."

"Yes," Neph nodded, "I was initially interested in the information He possessed, but after our conversation, I realized that even if the Genie gave me the information, I wouldn't be able to determine its authenticity—at this level, even a slight falsehood or misunderstanding could lead to huge unforeseen consequences."

Klein nodded, then asked:

"So, what are you planning to do next? Go to the Mediation Council find out what's going on? And about the Genie, are you going to bring him along?"

"I'd have to be crazy to bring the Genie along," Neph rolled her eyes. "He has a deep connection with the ' Uncertain Mist,' and he's always longed to reconnect with his Sefirah. What if I bring the Genie along and he manages to contact me?"

After explaining the matter, she added:

"However, I will definitely bring the Genie, or rather, the ' Magic Wishing Lamp,' over. He's not suited to stay with Bernadette forever, and I don't think that would be good for Emperor Roselle either."

"Moreover, this thing's effects are inherently dangerous; Bernadette couldn't suppress it at all, and as for wishes, Bernadette's probably already made all the wishes she could..."

"As for that ' Mediation Council '..."

Neph frowned, Klein tentatively suggested, "Actually, I think if all else fails, you could consider the Church."

"I have considered that possibility," Neph shook her head, "But for now, the Church of Evernight is focused on integrating the Beyonder of the Church of the God of Combat. Without the assistance of the ' Red Gloves,' and if this ' Mediation Council ' truly has Beneficiary..."

"The Beneficiary?" Klein asked.

"You haven't seen them yet, have you?" Neph chuckled. "They're a bunch of hard-to-beat, gold-dropping monsters."

This summary was actually quite accurate. Klein had already gotten used to Neph's way of speaking, only needed a moment's thought to understand it:

"Let me think... Hmm, no Beyonder Characteristic, extremely high combat power, but the condition is unstable, much worse than an ordinary Beyonder..."

"This instability isn't inevitable," Neph added. "If we only consider the Boon System itself, receiving a Grace is actually safer than taking Potion... as long as you don't aim too high and try to bear Angel- level graces as an ordinary person, but their gods..."

Neph's lips twitched slightly, and she shook her head, saying:

>p/<"... The path is indeed closest to the father, and only by being closest to him can one truly be close. The madness of the child is the inner barrier of the spirit, which can also be seen as a divine perspective. Of course, the madness of the child is a divine perspective, and I must say that --- I must say that --- the madness of the child is a divine perspective."

>p/<"Why don't you think about it?" Enlek said hesitantly, "Why don't you think about it?"

>p/<"... Sleeping and thirsting, then waking and thirsting again, both mad and rational, both He, the collection of the most likely and the most likely, the first and most likely, to speak the point of being useful," Funai spread her hands, "Who knows?"

>p/<"... the biological father himself thought back, no... he thought he was really dead, but it's not certain. Who knows which part of the hereditary spirit He passed on to, the spirit of the outside world, He would always pass on the hereditary spirit to the child": she continued, shaking her head.

>p/<... One of them is definitely not to mention the internal cataract screen, we have this strange kind of existence, and and

>p/<"... The corpse is also the corpse's biological father, and I am still in power, saying I want to": The mouth opened quietly, the name of the corpse flashed through the mind of the sea of Funa.

>p/<"... you", a fleeting moment of frozen emotion appeared on Enlake's face. "..."

He sighed, rubbing his head, as if he wanted to say something, after all the hardships and difficulties he had endured.

>p/<. Let's chat about whether it's still us or not.

>p/<"? Is this what the machine is used for...? Can one imagine 'thinking empty'? Is it because I'm not ordinary? What is it because of them?"

>p/<". Explanation: You can only try it with me, but I haven't tried it twice... I can't do it either," Funa touched her chin. "It's probably too much."

>p/<: Mouth open, chanting softly, breath exhaled, vomiting...

>p/<. The hole has even appeared, and it's no longer the thin, broken piece of its original form. The initial barrier that protected us is now gone. You should know that."

"The further the penetration, the more powerful the divine force will become, causing a great change in the leaks. There are no new people to fill the barrier, and the damage to the internal divine forces is too great in a short time. This is also because the seven gods dare not use their own divine barrier to block the divine forces of the nation."

/p>

"And this infiltration manifests itself in certain extremely dangerous cults or Concealment organizations."

"But for the Outer Deity, faith alone is not enough. They need manpower to do things, and some things require Beyonder to accomplish. However, among their subordinates, those in high positions cannot cross the barrier, and those in low positions who enter will die. Their Beyonder Pathway cannot be brought in—gifts—and it is under these circumstances that the system was born."

"It requires no Beyonder Characteristic; believers pray through Ritual, Outer Deity grants them a portion of that power, the extent of which depends on their capacity to receive it."

"These Beneficiary... well, I don't know them, but they shouldn't need to act... well, they should, and their behavior could also be voluntary."

>p/<... It's harder to beat them, I feel they're extraordinary, it's not possible to get rid of them... and it's not easy to get rid of them, it's very difficult to beat them, this thing is very strange? Let me say... but, although there is no waste in it, I doubt that it is a gift of grace that I have chosen, and "

>p/<"... Could you try to revive this ritual? It's something you're interested in; it's a ritual we pray for, a blessing from heaven."
