” As the name suggests, the effect of ‘Chaos Mystery Lock’ is to make people’s actions and thoughts chaotic.
“The three great mystery locks of the gods were actually closely related.
“The puzzle lock made the living beings on this continent forget the gods and history.
“Without history, people would be lost.
“The mystery of civilization sealed the possibility of civilization development, which was equivalent to locking the future.
“People were even more hesitant when they couldn’t see the future.
“On the other hand, the Chaotic Mystery Lock had the effect of completely trapping people in place and crazily spinning around.
“This 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.
“Under such circumstances.
“The civilization on the continent of Aindor was almost completely unable to develop.
“This was exactly what the gods wanted to see.
“When the confusion in people’s hearts accumulated to a certain extent, they might once again beg the gods to descend and guide them.
“This 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.
“If one day…
“The creatures on this continent wholeheartedly welcomed their return
“Then it’s really possible for them to come back.”
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?” he asked.
Margaret shook her head.
‘ Of course not. In fact, the legendary mages led by the Seven Saints have put in a lot of effort to resist the gods’ mystery locks.
“But you also have to know that the gods set up the mystery lock as a desperate gamble.
“They were very careful, and their plans were very thorough.
“If we want to neutralize the effects of their Locks, the fastest way is to find the location of the Mystery Locks and isolate them.
“In the process of searching for the three mystery locks.
” The Alliance had suffered quite a bit of damage.
“Because the three great mystery locks were all in the outer planes, many evil forces were eyeing them covetously.
“After the Calamity Mage left.
“The Alliance had lost the ability to suppress the entire universe.
“It was said that the atmosphere in the Alliance was very depressing. “The three Supreme Mages had been busy with the three mysteries.
“The first to be found was the intelligence lock.
“The time was a week after the Gods had placed the Mystery Locks.
“It was found in a Secondary Plane sandwiched between the continent of Aindor and the Abyss.
“The 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.
“Even though we can’t completely destroy it.
“However, with a suitable counter spell, the effect of the Intelligence Lock was greatly weakened.
“As long as your Intelligence was above 15 points, you could read history books and copy the deeds of the gods to avoid forgetting them.
“One had to know that under the circumstances where the Intelligence Lock was not weakened, almost everyone had forgotten what had happened before.
“That was the most terrifying and depressing era.
“However, in order to isolate the effects of the intelligence lock.
“One of the three Heavenly Mages, Lord Link, had no choice but to guard the Demiplane at all times.
“For more than a hundred years.
“His body was ravaged by the cosmic starlight and rays day and night.
“I heard that the situation is not as good as before.”
At this point.
Margaret could not help but sigh softly.
‘ So the Alliance’s situation isn’t as good as people think.”
However, she only mentioned it.
Then, she continued,
“The second thing that was discovered was the Chaos Lock. It was hidden on an abandoned planet in the astral plane.
“Lady Isabelle was the one who discovered the Chaos Mystery Lock.
“And before that.
‘Do you know how chaotic this mainland is?
“Father and son killing each other and good friends turning against each other was already a very simple matter.
“The living order of all races, including the human race, was close to complete collapse.
“Three months after the Chaos Mystery Lock took effect. “The population of Aindor had decreased by 3%.
“This was a terrifying number.
“During that period of time, the people’s mental state was indeed close to the stage that the gods wanted.
“Everyone 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.
“This was the terrifying aspect of the Mystery Lock.
“Sometimes, I wonder.
“The Calamity Mage exiled the gods and cleansed the domain, but they did not completely strip them of their authority.
“This gave the gods a chance to counterattack. “Regarding the follow-up of the Chaos Mystery Lock.
“Actually, I don’t know much.
“There were also many versions of the fumours circulating within the Alliance.
“There was a saying-
“Lady Isabelle ate the Chaos Mystery Lock on the spot!
“That was what my mentor said.
“But I’m not sure if that was a metaphor or not.
“After that.
“The 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.
“On the contrary, Lady Isabelle herself seemed to be more affected.
“She became somewhat neurotic and deranged.
“At the same time.
“The remaining power of the Chaos Lock was concentrated on the mages.
“Especially the Alliance Wizards.
“That was why you could always find that mages had all sorts of strange behaviours.
“I’m not trying to defend myself.
“Perhaps mages were naturally a group of eccentric people..”
