The mind is the prisoner of the body, and the body is the prisoner of the world. This refers to the madness that is restrained and the desire that is oppressed.
Overview[]
The Chained Pathway has different types of mutant abilities, but they're also cursed. They can summon zombies, jump through things with reflections, resist bullets with powerful defense, possess others, control ghosts, cast death-related spells, regenerate and heal themselves, and sacrifice rationality for more power. They have high strength, speed, and defense, but have some difficulty in controlling themselves. They also lose power or control during the full moon.
At High-Sequences, they have the ability to bind their foes, control all inanimate objects within a specific radius, employ dreadful curses and curse others through all connections, and transform into terrifying, evil, distorted, chaotic Abominations that are filled by pure and extreme madness.
Since the Chained Pathway symbolizes Binding/Restraint and Unity, from the Mid-Second Epoch onwards, the main Ingredients of each sequence, starting from Sequence 7, have essentially merged into one. There have been almost no more instances of them splitting.[1]
The Beyonder Characteristics of this pathway originated from the Outer Deity, the Mother Tree of Desire.[2]
The Above the Sequence of the Chained Pathway is the Father of Devils, and the corresponding Sefirah is the Tenebrous World.
