The Uniqueness and Characterises

Amantha Mountains, Tenebrous Heaven.

The six gods finally looked at the characteristics on the long black table.

Tudor and Trunsoest had already left after their receiving orders.

"The sequence-2 characteristics..."

"Let's take one each, in order of who contributed the most to the war," Aucuses said, breaking the silence.

Then, he took the characteristic of the Trojan Horse of Destiny, Sequence-2 of the Error Pathway.

He really doesn't need anything else besides this. It would be difficult to raise an angel from scratch. However, there is demigod from error pathway in his church.

Aucuses doesn't mind bestowing this characteristic to that demigod, if she could prove herself to be worthy and capable.

The church of gods is not monolithic about the pathways, as in the future. Each church contains beyonders from various paths.

All six gods have seen the blasphemy slate. Their understanding of potion formulas extends to all 22 pathways. If they want to, they can easily grant formulas for other pathways.

The other gods said nothing when they saw him take first place; after all, Aucuses was the one who made the whole thing possible.

Amanises then chose the Soothsayer, Sequence-2 of the Wheel of Fortune Pathway.

Then, the other four took the one they wanted, and they were,

Lilith selected the Balancer, Sequence-2 of Justiciar pathway.

Leodero chose the Sequence-2 Miracle invoker of the Fool pathway.

While Herabergan and Badhiel held the characteristics of Sequence-2, weather warlock of Red Priest Pathway

"That's the end of that." Aucuses stated. Then he pushed the Uniqueness of the Black Emperor and Justiciar to the front. "The Black Emperor…."

"Solomon could resurrect again. Even though I erased Solomon's twisted "Order" and completely destroyed his empire, the nine mausoleums remain..."

"I've already found two of those..." Leodero interpreted solemnly. "We must eliminate them as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the more likely it is that Solomon will be successfully resurrected."

"As Badhiel said before." Lilith spoke up as she looked at Badhiel. "Those two families could be related to the mausoleums, and they could even be protecting it."

"That's a certainty..." Aucuses nodded; they hadn't discussed it before because of the presence of the Trunsoest and Tudor.

"I believe Solomon left some arrangements. He should have known that if he died, we would search and destroy his mausoleums," Badhiel speculated.

"Are you able to see the nine mausoleums, Herabergan?" After hearing all of this, Amanises inquired of Herabergan. If anyone can spot an anomaly in this, Herabergan should be the first to do so.

Herabergan remained silent for a moment, his starry eyes twinkling. The other gods stayed quiet and waited.

"No." As his starry eyes dimmed, he said vaguely. "I could find most of them, but there was only chaos blocking my path to rest. Solomon really planned well and thoroughly to actually able to block my sight."

After that, there was a slight heaviness in the air.

"I'm taking on this." Aucuses said abruptly, causing everyone to look at him. "When it comes to dealing with chaos, there shouldn't be anyone better than me. I will destroy the mausoleums myself." He volunteered.

"I believe Herabergan is a better fit than you, Aucuses." Leodero retorted, knowing what Aucuses was up to.

The bastard must be planning to gain the Uniqueness of Black Emperor, and him volunteering should only be a cover.

He will never allow that!

Even though he disliked Herabergan, he suggested the dragon because he was the only one, aside from Aucuses, who could find the mausoleums faster than others.

The black emperor's uniqueness may provide some hints as to the location of the hidden mausoleum.

Aucuses, holds authority of order; he can increase his power through this, even if he doesn't have much control over it, as he does with hermit, but simply using it in battle will allow his power to increase exponentially.

In comparison to Aucuses, Herabergan will not benefit as much from obtaining the black emperor uniqueness.

This is why, despite his dislike for both of them, Leodero suggested Herabergan.

Looking at Leodero and Herabergan, Aucuses seemed surprised. "How did you feel about it, Herabergan?"

Herabergan didn't respond, instead staring deeply at Aucuses for a few moments. Then, he unexpectedly proposed. "Let's put it to a vote. If the vote is tied, Bethel will be included in the next round of voting."

Leodero predicted a tie vote because he and Amanises will both vote for Herabergan, while Badhiel and Ombella are already leaning towards Aucuses.

He also has no idea which side Bethel would take.

"Okay." Aucuses smiled as he nodded and looked around. "All for me."

Badhiel and Lilith both raised their hands in favour.

After seeing the tie, Leodero pondered on what to do with Bethel. But, his eyes widened in surprise soon.

Amanises raised her hand in favour of Aucuses!

Herabergan, on the other hand, was calm, as if he had anticipated this.

"That's the end of it, Leodero." Aucuses' smile widened, as he looked at Leodero. He also did not appear surprised that Amanises voted for him.

Then, he raised his hand and took the Uniqueness and threw it into his kingdom.

It took a lot for Leodero to regain his composure and refrain from hurling a bolt of lightning at the Aucuses' narcissistic smile.

Then, he also looked at Amanises, perplexed as to why she would support Aucuses. He was completely taken aback by her.

"Ombella will be given the Justiciar Uniqueness." After carefully considering, Aucuses prospered.

Nobody objected, and Lilith took the Justiciar, but Aucuses is certain, he saw her bright smile as she took it.

While, Leodero continued to glare at Amanises.

Amanises didn't bother to explain herself, instead giving a name to change the subject.

"Amon."

"How are we going to deal with him? His avatars remain within the empire, and his true body has also entered."

"Allow him to join the empire." Aucuses said calmly.

"We cannot control him with "Order,"." Herabergan retorted. "He will find loopholes to exploit in "Order" to gain an advantage, and he may even turn the tables on us. More importantly, he will wreak havoc on the empire. So, Aucuses, think twice before suggesting something like this; you're playing with fire."

"Amon will enter the empire in one way or another," Aucuses said with certainty. "Even though his presence can be detrimental, it will be compensated for when he moves against high sequence beyonders of mysterious pathways, that are not aligned with us."

"Is it really necessary to go that far to suppress the pathways of mysteries?" Lilith inquired, after hearing that.

The Door, Fool, and Error Pathways were always suppressed in the third epoch. The low-sequence formulas for these pathways were not widely known. This was due to the order of the Ancient Sun God.

When the creator fell, this was removed, and angel families for these pathways began to form. Nonetheless, many gods still forbade the formulas from spreading outside of their church in order to reduce the number of beyonders of these three pathways.

"Yes." Aucuses nodded. "The pathways should be suppressed. There is still a significant risk of losing control in high sequence. And, not everyone is Amon and Bethel, who can remain sane and stable in the face of adversity."

"Is Amon permitted to join the empire or not?" Amanises inquired ethereally, returning the conversation to Amon.

"How about we vote?" Aucuces suggested. "All in Amon's favour."

He, Amanises, Lilith, and Badhiel all voted yes.

Even though Leodero and Herabergan didn't like Amon, it didn't bother them all that much to accept him into the empire, after considering everything.

"That settles it." Aucuses said. "I'll send Diana to meet with Amon and inform him of our decision."

"Next, Cheek and Artisan." He moved on to the next issue. "Cheek has a secret organisation within the empire. She is still stabilizing herself after the ascension. She has not caused any major disaster since her ascension."

"In light of this, I propose letting her be as long as she and her organisation do not cross the line. However, her organisation will be regarded as unorthodox."

"What are your thoughts?"

"This is fine." Amanises commented ethereally, while the other gods remained silent in agreement.

Aucuses nodded and continued. "Moving on, Artisan requested our permission to implement his inventions throughout the empire."

"Let it be implemented." Herabergan agreed. "Artisan's steam engine will revolutionise the empire in many ways. Long term, this will also exponentially increase population growth."

"We can expect a new god to join us soon, a powerful god at that, if this is successful." Lilith said.

"Indeed, it won't be long before he ascends." Aucuses added. He knew this would allow Artisan to properly digest his potion and ascend to Godhood. He will not face any problems, as Hidden Sage was killed by Lilith.

"What is his divine name?" Leodero inquired, his curiosity piqued by the prospect of another god ascending.

"God of Steam and Machinery." Amanises replied, then she looked at Aucuses. "He's already started preaching, Aucuses. While, "Order" only considered faith on six of us to be orthodox."

"I'll change it after he attains Godhood." Aucuses responded. "Then, Artisan's petition is approved." He then declared.

He finally stood up and finished.

"That's all for this m…."

"Wait..." Lilith interjected, capturing everyone's attention. "Alitsa and Trunsoest's Coronation."

"It will happen in a month, Ombella. The angels and saints are already preparing for it," Aucuses said.

"I know." Lilith looked at Aucuses and inquired. "But who will crown them while representing us?"

The gods, who had all stood up and were about to leave, stopped and thought.

"Artisan." Aucuses decided. "Artisan will crown Trunsoest. Tudor, on the other hand..."

He paused, only Bethel, Amon, and Adam are the remaining Kings of Angels in the empire. For various reasons, he did not bother to consider them.

"Bethel," Amanises said ethereally. "Let him to crown Tudor. There isn't a better person other than him."

"All right, Bethel and Artisan." Aucuses asked, even though he didn't want Bethel, but he didn't express his opinion to them.

The gods were silent in agreement.

"Finally, the coronation will be broadcasted live across the continent. I will personally use my authority to do that," Aucuses said, "If any of you wanted to help, you can come to my Kingdom."

"Well." Aucuses concluded with a smile. "That ends the meeting."
