As expected of the Black Emperor pathway. It finds loopholes in “order” while it appears domineering.

Klein Moretti's thoughts
on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 599

The Black Emperor Pathway manipulates existing rules to suit their interests. They are proficient at loophole exploitation, possess extreme physicality, use bribery to achieve various effects, distort words, actions, and intent, disorder all sorts of things, and dominate others.

At High-Sequences, they could exploit abstract laws, manipulate the environment to their advantage, magnify the effect of their actions, isolate the location from the outside world, and infinitely resurrect if "Their" order was still in place. Sequence 0 can endlessly resurrect and cheat death if "Their" order still remains. "Their" authority represents Disorder, the hidden faults of Order.

The Beyonder Characteristics of this pathway originated from the Outer Deity, the Son of Chaos.[1]

The title of Above the Sequence of the Black Emperor Pathway is The Anarchy, and the corresponding Sefirah is the Nation of Disorder. This Pathway is adjacent to the Justiciar Pathway.

Of the Non-Standard Pathways, this pathway is also adjacent to the Chaos Mist Pathway from the Son of Chaos.

Sequence Levels[]

Note
Most Sequence original titles are noted to have no suffixes (i.e only Corruption, Confusion, The Fallen, Disorder, etc.), but the Beyonders added their own suffixes to match the pathway's Sequence 0: Black Emperor.[2]

Corresponding Tarot Card[]

  • Description
  • Card of Blasphemy
Tarot-emperor
The corresponding tarot card of the Black Emperor Pathway is The Emperor.[4][5]

The Emperor (IV) is the fourth card of Major Arcana. The Emperor sits on a ram-adorned throne. He holds an Ankh scepter in his right hand, and a globe, symbol of domination, in his left. The Emperor sits atop a stark, barren mountain, a sign of "sterility of regulation, and unyielding power." He symbolizes the top of the secular hierarchy, the ultimate male ego. The Emperor is the absolute ruler of the world.[6]
An appearance of the Card of Blasphemy of Black Emperor.

A bright light emitted, bit by bit, from the bookmark, and the image of Emperor Roselle on the outside was being replaced by an entirely new image.

He (Roselle) was sitting on an ancient stone throne as he wore a black crown embedded with various precious stones on his head. He wore pitch-black armor, and a cape of the same color was draped over his body. He held a scepter, and he looked forward with cold, aloof eyes.

On the upper-left corner of the bookmark, there was a line of text condensed from the bright radiance of stars: “Sequence 0: Black Emperor!”
