â As the name suggests, the effect of âChaos Mystery Lockâ is to make peopleâs actions and thoughts chaotic.
âThe three great mystery locks of the gods were actually closely related.
âThe puzzle lock made the living beings on this continent forget the gods and history.
âWithout history, people would be lost.
âThe mystery of civilization sealed the possibility of civilization development, which was equivalent to locking the future.
âPeople were even more hesitant when they couldnât see the future.
âOn the other hand, the Chaotic Mystery Lock had the effect of completely trapping people in place and crazily spinning around.
âThis was because his thoughts and actions had become chaotic. He might have made up his mind to do one thing one second ago, but the next second, he would start doing the opposite thing.
âUnder such circumstances.
âThe civilization on the continent of Aindor was almost completely unable to develop.
âThis was exactly what the gods wanted to see.
âWhen the confusion in peopleâs hearts accumulated to a certain extent, they might once again beg the gods to descend and guide them.
âThis was also a loophole that the gods had found when they were studying the rules set by the Calamity Mage after the ascension of the Heavenly Palace.
âIf one dayâŠ
âThe creatures on this continent wholeheartedly welcomed their return
âThen itâs really possible for them to come back.â
So that was the case.
The third Mystery Lock was actually the Chaos Mystery Lock!
Matthew frowned and reflected.
He checked his memory to see if his actions were affected by the Chaos Mystery Lock.
Is the Seven Saint Alliance immune to this?â he asked.
Margaret shook her head.
â Of course not. In fact, the legendary mages led by the Seven Saints have put in a lot of effort to resist the godsâ mystery locks.
âBut you also have to know that the gods set up the mystery lock as a desperate gamble.
âThey were very careful, and their plans were very thorough.
âIf we want to neutralize the effects of their Locks, the fastest way is to find the location of the Mystery Locks and isolate them.
âIn the process of searching for the three mystery locks.
â The Alliance had suffered quite a bit of damage.
âBecause the three great mystery locks were all in the outer planes, many evil forces were eyeing them covetously.
âAfter the Calamity Mage left.
âThe Alliance had lost the ability to suppress the entire universe.
âIt was said that the atmosphere in the Alliance was very depressing. âThe three Supreme Mages had been busy with the three mysteries.
âThe first to be found was the intelligence lock.
âThe time was a week after the Gods had placed the Mystery Locks.
âIt was found in a Secondary Plane sandwiched between the continent of Aindor and the Abyss.
âThe gods had deployed a large number of troops to guard that place, and it was suspected that there were plane traps specifically targeted at Legendary Mages and Holy Mages.
âEven though we canât completely destroy it.
âHowever, with a suitable counter spell, the effect of the Intelligence Lock was greatly weakened.
âAs long as your Intelligence was above 15 points, you could read history books and copy the deeds of the gods to avoid forgetting them.
âOne had to know that under the circumstances where the Intelligence Lock was not weakened, almost everyone had forgotten what had happened before.
âThat was the most terrifying and depressing era.
âHowever, in order to isolate the effects of the intelligence lock.
âOne of the three Heavenly Mages, Lord Link, had no choice but to guard the Demiplane at all times.
âFor more than a hundred years.
âHis body was ravaged by the cosmic starlight and rays day and night.
âI heard that the situation is not as good as before.â
At this point.
Margaret could not help but sigh softly.
â So the Allianceâs situation isnât as good as people think.â
However, she only mentioned it.
Then, she continued,
âThe second thing that was discovered was the Chaos Lock. It was hidden on an abandoned planet in the astral plane.
âLady Isabelle was the one who discovered the Chaos Mystery Lock.
âAnd before that.
âDo you know how chaotic this mainland is?
âFather and son killing each other and good friends turning against each other was already a very simple matter.
âThe living order of all races, including the human race, was close to complete collapse.
âThree months after the Chaos Mystery Lock took effect. âThe population of Aindor had decreased by 3%.
âThis was a terrifying number.
âDuring that period of time, the peopleâs mental state was indeed close to the stage that the gods wanted.
âEveryone was at a loss. They did not know where to go. They did not even know what had happened. They could only feel that something had been taken away from them.
âThis was the terrifying aspect of the Mystery Lock.
âSometimes, I wonder.
âThe Calamity Mage exiled the gods and cleansed the domain, but they did not completely strip them of their authority.
âThis gave the gods a chance to counterattack. âRegarding the follow-up of the Chaos Mystery Lock.
âActually, I donât know much.
âThere were also many versions of the fumours circulating within the Alliance.
âThere was a saying-
âLady Isabelle ate the Chaos Mystery Lock on the spot!
âThat was what my mentor said.
âBut Iâm not sure if that was a metaphor or not.
âAfter that.
âThe effect of the Chaos Mystery Lock was also greatly weakened, and it was reflected in the lives of ordinary people. At most, their lives were more licentious.
âOn the contrary, Lady Isabelle herself seemed to be more affected.
âShe became somewhat neurotic and deranged.
âAt the same time.
âThe remaining power of the Chaos Lock was concentrated on the mages.
âEspecially the Alliance Wizards.
âThat was why you could always find that mages had all sorts of strange behaviours.
âIâm not trying to defend myself.
âPerhaps mages were naturally a group of eccentric people..â
