The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction) - Chapter 114: Golden Order

Chapter 114: Golden Order

“What is Chaos?” questioned Eternal Blazing Sun.

Eternal Blazing Sun rose from his seat and continued without waiting for his response.

“Chaos is the most dangerous thing in existence…”

The surroundings changed as Eternal Blazing Sun’s ominous voice was heard, unveiling an endless cosmos.

Trunsoest’s eyes were drawn to the magnificent cosmos. He was bemused in his heart. Even though he had previously heard Bethel sing praises about the grandeur of the cosmos, witnessing it for himself gobsmacked him.

“Is this the cosmos?” His voice quavered a little in excitement.

Eternal Blazing Sun ignored his query and went on, gesturing for him to rise up as well.

“Chaos is all around us. All the time. It is volatile and powerful…”

With those words, the scene in front of Trunsoest altered to reveal a ravenous darkness devouring the very stars of the cosmos. He could also feel the fundamental foundations of reality crumbling. The Eternal Order was disintegrating.

The surging darkness was chaos!

“Order is organising Chaos. It is what brings balance and stability to cosmos. It is what delays the inevitable end.”

His immediate surroundings suddenly changed. Out of the fabric of reality sprouted a golden luminous tree. Its branches and roots entwined with the reality of the cosmos. It re-established the order of the cosmos.

The order restrained the chaos. The cosmos’s brilliance and vibrancy were restored as the lights of the stars re-emerged.

The voice of Eternal Blazing Sun had Trunsoest’s undivided attention now.

He understood the significance of Eternal Blazing Sun’s remarks. It might even provide a final answer to all of his uncertainties and inquiries.

Finally, pointing at the constrained chaos, he asked.

“The Black Emperor…”

Eternal Blazing Sun snorted. “I can see why you’re confused. Back then, Solomon sought to twist the truth more than once.”

“The main authority of Black Emperor is disorder. Nothing more and nothing less.”

Trunsoest noticed something strange and questioned the sun god, who was smiling and looking at him as if he already knew what he was going to ask.

“So there isn’t even a single pathway that represents chaos among the 22?” His voice was hesitant in doubt.

Eternal Blazing Sun nodded, saying, “Yes, there isn’t a pathway that symbolises chaos. Everything in the universe is separate from and subjugated to chaos. It is not something that a god can directly rule over.”

His words caused the environment around them to alter, revealing a stunning blue planet.

Trunsoest had a gut feeling that this planet was his home. But the sun god continued before he could pause and marvel at this.

“Do you know what occurs when the equilibrium between Chaos and Order is shattered?”

Trunsoest was about to respond, but he restrained himself after observing Eternal Blazing Sun’s sombre expression.

“The Original Creator will awaken. The end of the cosmos will be heralded by “He,” who wields the power of Chaos.”

“Look.” Eternal Blazing Sun pointed at the Earth.

Trunsoest turned to face the earth in front of him. The corner of his eye also caught the disappearance of Eternal Blazing Sun. But his attention was pulled to the planet, as he got a dreadful feeling of impending doom from it.

Crack!

His home planet, Earth, started to split open as a sea of infinite colours emerged from beneath it. The reality started to crumble.

Trunsoest felt something awakening from within the earth. It was something beyond, something detached, something primordial.

Boom!

An illusionary, colourless light burst forth from the planet. It instantly lit up everything in existence, shattering and returning everything back to chaos.

Under the brightness of the light, Trunsoest felt his mind literally disintegrate.

He saw it all come to an end. He watched as his empire collapsed. He watched as his love was ripped apart under the might of the illusionary light. He watched as the sky, the moon, and the sun were shattered.

He witnessed the twilight of the gods. The gods, who tower above all, fell from their heavenly thorns. In the illusionary light, their bodies and souls were shredding one after another. Indescribable beings fled in a desperate attempt to avoid the impending doom, only to perish in the process.

As he witnessed it all, his hopes, goals, and dreams were torn asunder.

Eventually, even his order crumbled. He was powerless to interfere; all he could do was watch as everything he cherished was destroyed in front of his eyes.

He was having trouble thinking since his mind was literally disintegrating, yet these visions remained vivid as always, driving him farther and deeper into despair.

Trunsoest was tumbling into the chaos as it engulfed the entire creation.

His mind was suddenly twisted by a plethora of information and knowledge. It felt as though a sharp object had pierced right through to his brain before twisting. The searing pain melted his brain even further.

Barrier, Son of Chaos, 9 Sefirots, Nation of Disorder, Above the Sequence, Pillars, Great Old Ones.

No, no…

How can things be this way?

He began to spiral into an abyss of his own despair and hopelessness, on the verge of losing himself forever.

“Wake up..”

A thunderous voice shattered everything around him as it blasted through his mind and soul, waking him up.

Trunsoest then found himself back in his chair, facing the Eternal Blazing Sun. They appeared to have never actually gotten up from the chairs, as if everything that followed was simply a horrible nightmare.

‘Yes, it ought to be a nightmare.’ While falling out of his chair and gasping for air, Trunsoest made a conscious attempt to persuade himself. ‘It should just be a nightmare.’

With tears welling in his eyes, he knelt on the ground. His scarred heart was struggling desperately to deny the truth.

“The more you deny, the more you lose control.” He struggled to look up as an indifferent voice rang out. He caught a glimpse of the Eternal Blazing Sun indifferently observing him.

He was already on the point of losing control, as he observed that his body was slowly disintegrating into brass lights.

In spite of this, he asked the sun god in a scratchy voice that was audibly racked with pain and anguish.

“Why did you show me all of this?”

He really wanted to know. That didn’t give him any answers to his questions. It only made him have a complete extensional crisis, from which he still hadn’t recovered yet.

Eternal Blazing Sun sighed in exasperation as he shook his head. He spoke with indifference while his golden eyes shimmered.

“To help you realize, Trunsoest, to alter your perspective such that it is divine. Despite being an archangel, you continue to view the world through human eyes. The principles and ideals of human civilisation continue to bind you.”

“You hate me, right? For upsetting your precious order by being the true disruptor.”

“How absolutely ridiculous?” The Sun God waved his hand at him while mockingly laughing.

Trunsoest was healed as a beam of ‘light’ fell on him, saving him from the embrace of death.

Trunsoest wasn’t in the mood to rejoice, as feelings of rage, despair and helplessness overflowed his heart as he listened to the laughter of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

He rose from his kneeling position while having the sun god in his sight.

Eternal Blazing Sun continued, in between his fits of mocking laughter.

“I’ll tell you the truth, cold and clear. As our authority is a component of reality itself, the gods you so despise are a part of the eternal order. We are the ones who keep the chaos at bay.”

That caused Trunsoest’s eyes to widen.

While gazing at him, the Sun God said. “You finally understand right.”

The sun god grinned menacingly as a dreadful, boundless divine aura emanated from him. His aura morphed into a glowing golden tree. It was the golden order.

“My will is the true order.”

“I was never the disrupter of order. I am the embodiment of order. I define what order is.”

The sun god’s words boomed into Trunsoest’s head, tearing apart his perspective before rebuilding it and enabling him to see things from a new perspective.

His eyes started to shine with a divine light.

The golden tree behind the sun god caught his attention immediately. Now, he understood the tree’s real purpose.

The Golden Order assisted and assimilated with the Eternal Order while also strengthening reality.

Its true purpose was to keep the balance between Order and Chaos in the world.

The sun god continued, implying the golden tree. “This is my order. The Golden Order is the name I gave it. It is a set of concepts and rules that I and other gods have made manifest.”

“I built this order using the principal of regression. It means, ‘Regression is the pull of meaning; that all things yearn eternally to converge’.”

The law of beyonder characteristic convergence…Trunsoest made a valid guess right away, but he had the feeling that the principle of the Golden Order should symbolise something deeper and more complex.

“Trunsoest, this is my order. It’s now time for you to think of one on your own. Instead of a humane order, it should be a divine one.”

He quickly nodded in accord after hearing the stern words of Eternal Blazing Sun.

“Now go.” The Sun God immediately waved his hand, illuminating everything in his field of vision with light. “You may only return once you have accomplished your divine order.”

“Wait…” Trunsoest said quickly, while closing his eyes from the glare. He still has a ton of questions for the sun god.

“You can access my golden order.” The Sun God said, “It will resolve all of your doubts and questions.”

“I had enough of telling people the truth. The next time, I should let Amanises handle it…..”

Before everything in his field of vision turned white and rendered him unconscious, he even heard the grumble of the sun god…
