The Monarch of Decay is one of the various Outer Deities from the Cosmos trying to invade Earth. This Outer Deity possesses the authority of the Second Law Pathway.
Honorific Name[]
"The Inevitable Decay of All Things;
The Endpoint of the River of Time;
The Lord of Rot and Putrescence;
The Irreversible Entropy."
Authorities & Symbolisms[]
"He" possesses full authority over the Second Law Pathway and corresponding symbols, which includes but is not limited to the following:
Second Law: Authorities, and the Symbols of Decay and Certain Death. [3]
Derived from the above, "He" also possesses the following abilities/symbols:
- Decay: "He" is the symbol of The Inevitable Decay of All Things.
- Certain Death: One of "His" core symbols.
- This symbol can make the Death of an avatar equaled the Death of the main body.[3]
- The Endpoint of the River of Time: "He" can drag the region's time toward its conclusion.[6]
- Monarch of Decay was able to slow the flow of the River of Eternal Darkness.
- "He" can delay "His" Death until that endpoint, leaving the present unaffected.[4]
- Monarch of Decay was able to slow the flow of the River of Eternal Darkness.
Appearance[]
The True form of the Monarch of Decay: Watery streams of time emanated from the Monarch of Decay, whose body was the size of a planet, covered entirely in golden plating resembling an alien mummy. Between the gaps of the golden plates, greenish-yellow pus oozed out, capable of slowing the flow of the River of Eternal Darkness and dragging the region's time toward its conclusion. "His" left hand was not covered by gold. It was riddled with blue veins, rotting flesh, yellow-green blood vessels, and deeply wrinkled skin. [6]
Background[]
According to the Seven Lights, ever since the Oldest One awakened and split apart, the most powerful Outer Deities in the entire universe, including the Monarch of Decay, gathered around this tiny solar system.
Some of "Them" wish to retrieve "Their" sefirot and characteristics that had been ripped from "Them", and were attracted here. Some of "Them" hope to get neighbouring sefirot and high-level characteristics which "They" can accommodate.[7]
"He" sought to get either the City of Calamity or the River of Eternal Darkness, though "He" could only choose one. [3]
History[]
The Monarch of Decay was one of the offspring of The Original Creator and Mother Goddess of Depravity. [8]
Lumian Lee first encountered believers of this Outer Deity proselyting in Trier and assaulted one of them. One of "His" believers would later be murdered by Lumian after he caused the death of the Ruhr.
The Order of All Extinction is an organization which follows this Outer Deity. They participated in Project Vortex.[9] Higdon, a Saint follower of the Monarch of Decay, accompanied Voisin Sanson to recover Ludwig Phil on behalf of the Primordial Hunger, and Termiboros on behalf of the Circle of Inevitability. At the end of Project Vortex, both Higdon and Voisin Sanson perished.
During The Apocalypse, "He" was assisted by the Circle of Inevitability and fought against Lumian Lee and Amanises. During the fight, Lumian and Amanises had nearly succeeded three times to wound or eliminate the Monarch of Decay, but each time, the Circle of Inevitability had intervened by either resetting the state through Loop or exerting influence via the symbolism of Inevitability.[10]
When Lumian began irresistibly merging with the Monarch of Decay and was about to cause the formation of the Fourth Pillar, the Circle of Inevitability intervened by using the Substitution symbolism to replace the Monarch of Decay within the River of Fate's past with an Angel of Redemption Characteristic. "He" then used "His" true body to replace the avatar, personally entering Lumian's body to face the encroaching power of Termination. Using "His" Eternal Aeon symbolism, the Circle of Inevitability achieved Redemption. "He" then replaced "His" external Sequence 1 avatar to replace "His" true body once again, sealing it within Lumian's body, while the true body returned to reality.
After being saved, the Monarch of Decay was last seen fleeing through the Astral World, and was pursued by the Circle of Inevitability, who was tracking "Him" using the mystical connection that was established through the previous use of the Substitution symbolism.[11]
