Be careful of the moon!

Roselle Gustav in his Diary
on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 790

The Mother Goddess of Depravity is one of the Outer Deities from the Cosmos that attempted to invade Earth. "She" is also known as the Primordial Moon, The Great Mother, the Sovereign of the Physical World and the Mother of All Things. "She" has been occupying the Moon since the First Epoch, terraforming it to the Crimson Moon.

"She" is the first child of the Original Creator, and is one of "His" three direct children along with the Mother Tree of Desire and the Son of Chaos.[2]. "She" is also the ruler of all feminine power of the Cosmos.[3]

"She" was the original owner of the Mother and Moon Pathways. "She" is also the current owner of the Chaos Primogenitor Pathway.

"She" is the Sovereign of the Physical World, one of the three Pillars that are the foundation for the universe's maintenance and development.[4] When the Original Creator split into pieces, "He" created a force strong enough to tear the Sefirot apart. Part of "Her" Sefirah was torn from "Her" and became the Brood Hive, which was attracted to Earth along with the Moon and Mother characteristics "She" held. Then the Mother Goddess of Depravity became not much different from the other Outer Deities, but still with the symbol of Pillar on "Her".

Besides the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Son of Chaos who were directly born from the Original Creator, the remaining Outer Deities were all born from the union of the Mother Goddess of Depravity and the Original Creator. "They" are the first beings created by "Her", thus "She" is the true Mother of All Things.[4]

"She" is said to have a conflict with the Mother Tree of Desire, but "They" have also cooperated.[5][6]

Authorities & Symbolisms[]

"She" possesses full authority over the Mother Pathway, Moon Pathway, and Chaos Primogenitor Pathway, and the corresponding symbols, which include but are not limited to the following:

  • Mother: Authorities over Life, Desolation, and Birth and Symbol of Mother.
  • Moon: Authorities over Beauty, Creation, and Spirituality and Symbol of Moon/Crimson Moon.
  • Chaos Primogenitor: Authorities over Reproduction, Propagation, Reality, and the Symbol of Nurturing the nascent Original Creator of the next Universe.[10]
    • This Pathway is a mix of two different Pathways:[11][12][13][14]
      • The Pathway of Original Sin, Evil and Corruption, which includes the Exploitation of Life. The Sequence 0 name is Chaos Primogenitor.
      • The Pathway of Reality and Procreation. The Sequence 0 name is World.

To match the Mother Goddess of Depravity's Honorific Names to "Her" Pathways and Authorities:[15]

  • "Origin of Evil" - Chaos Primogenitor Pathway
  • "The Indestructible" - Physical World (Reality) Authority
  • "Sovereign of the Physical World" - World Pathway

Derived from the above, "She" also possesses the following abilities/symbols:

  • Origin of Evil: "She" innately possesses the Pathway of Evil and Corruption, which includes the exploitation of life.[14]
  • Dominator of Reality: One of the most important symbolisms for the Mother Goddess of Depravity is "Her" symbolism as a Pillar. "She" is the Sovereign of the Physical World and possesses full control over it.
    • The Indestructible: Reality is the foundation of the universe. Unless everything ended, reality would eternally exist. Thus, the Soul and the body of Mother Goddess of Depravity possessed the characteristic of Indestructibility, never to perish.[16]
    • As long as "She" wishes, "She" cannot be displaced or Sealed.[16]
      • "She" can transform into a colossal, ethereal oak tree, rooted deeply in reality, supporting the heavens, and intertwining "Herself" with the fabric of the real universe. Being firmly rooted in reality, unable to be Banished or Sealed.[17]
    • "She" can "fix" mystical connections, spirits, and consciousness, among other things, in place, disrupting interference and influences from other entities. This is symbolized as an illusory, slightly damaged oak tree.
    • Unlike the Lord of Mysteries, "She" can't Seal off reality to prevent unauthorized entry or expel all adversaries, however, "She" can impose a continuous weakening effect on targets within reality.[16]
  • New Life: "She" can give New Life to all things.[20]
    • Mother of All: Excluding Mother Tree of Desire and Son of Chaos, "Her" union with the Original Creator gave birth to all other Outer Deities.
    • Rebirth: "She" can initiate New Life to reset "Her" form, reverting "Herself" to an embryonic state for Rebirth. This process would reset all symbols associated with "Her", except those intrinsic to "Her" being, erasing external mystical correspondences.
      • To avoid Lumian Lee's exploitation of the mystical law of similarity, the Mother Goddess of Depravity underwent Rebirth.[17]
    • Souls, consciousness, spirits, intellect, and Beyonder powers are among the things that can be given New Life.
    • "Her" symbolic nature would continue to influence the surrounding area even when "She" hesitates to attack due to other entities' influences, such as Charm, from the Calamity of Destruction.[20]
    • The symbolism of New Life has immensely powerful healing properties, "She" can quickly heal "Her" and other Great Old Ones' wounds.[17][23][18]
      • Only certain symbols and concepts would weaken the effectiveness of New Life, these include but are not limited to the symbol of Destruction[18] and the power of Termination.[25]
  • Chaos Primogenitor: "She" possesses a unique symbol pointing to the Original Creator. "She" is the Nurturer of the Chaos Primogenitor - the Original Sin and the Original Creator of the next universe.[20][26]
    • "She" can only summon this being once every Major Month (2,160 years); if "She" borrowed this special symbolism for less than 2,160 years, the Chaos Primogenitor would truly descend into the real world - a devastating catastrophe to "Her".[26]
    • Invoking this unique symbolism would put "Her" in a state of prolonged weakness that cannot be recovered using New Life.[17]
    • The Mother Goddess of Depravity used this symbolism to forcefully accommodate the rebelling Brood Hive.[10][27] "Her" use of the Chaos Primogenitor symbolism also shattered the Astral Barrier that originated from the Original Creator, as if its original master had recalled it.[26]
  • Beauty and Spirituality: "She" is the symbol of beauty in the universe, radiating an unmistakable maternal brilliance. Even "Her" enemies would hesitate to strike at "Her". This makes "Her" a less likely target of malice.[20]
  • Death and Desolation: "She" can influence other entities to wither, collapsing into death and returning to the embrace of Mother Earth.

Appearance[]

"She" occupies the moon and interferes with the earth through the identity of Primordial Moon. It appeared that the moon had a crimson sea flowing on its surface. It appears to be drowning everything, as though it was digesting this huge natural satellite. This blood-colored sea boiled when Klein learned about the news of "Great Old Ones", "Outer Deities", and "Cosmos".[28]

When Amon repelled "Her" power using the First Blasphemy Slate, the crimson moon appeared in the sky. The color quickly faded and turned pure. On it was a huge, distorted, crimson figure.[29]

It was as if countless birthing organs were haphazardly piled together, with swirling smoke and crimson moonlight intertwining to form an accretion-disk-like extension that served as clothing.

Yet, this massive figure had a head resembling that of a human woman. Her features - facial structure, long brown hair, and crimson eyes - were flawless, embodying the very concept of "beauty". She was the symbol of beauty in the universe, radiating an unmistakable maternal brilliance.

History[]

Lord of Mysteries[]

Mother Goddess of Depravity[]

The Mother Goddess of Depravity was created by the Original Creator. As a Creation of the Original Creator, "She" is most affected by the Law of Convergence, and part of "Her" characteristics was attracted to Earth. Due to this, "She" is able to have a direct influence over the Moon Pathway and Mother Pathway "She" once owned.

When the Original Creator split into pieces, "Her" Moon and Mother characteristics and some parts of "Her" Sefirah were torn and fell to Earth.

In the Pre-Epoch, the Mother Goddess of Depravity already had worshippers on Earth. "She" was the source of every single Mother Goddess-type deity of any religion in the history of Earth.[30]

Primordial Moon[]

"She" is worshiped by certain factions namely some members of the Life School of Thought and Rose School of Thought. Sanguines worship their Ancestor Lilith, however, their prayers sometimes go to Primordial Moon due to the overlap of authority; while many Moon Pathway Beyonders worship Primordial Moon. Worshipers usually simply refer to "Her" as the Moon.

According to Emlyn, people who pray to "Her" mostly experience change, turning cruel, crazy, and even filled with desire. Praying to the moon has caused a powerful sanguine to turn into "a hunk of flesh that only knows to mate and reproduce. She, together with bulls, rams, stallions, mice, and even plants and rocks, gave birth to one strange descendant after another".[31] Worshipers also hold violent rituals to produce puppets that absorb the power of the crimson moon.

Mr. Door has suggested a few times that Roselle should visit the moon, and indicated that the moon has answers to many things. Roselle heeded his advice and was corrupted during his visit.[32]

It is also suspected by Klein that she is responsible for corrupting Roselle.[33] This was later confirmed.[34]

After the corruption, Roselle created the Cards of Blasphemy that possess high-level anti-divination and anti-prophecy abilities. Roselle told Klein to be wary of the Mother Card since it has a trap set by "Her". Roselle also warned that when all 22 Cards of Blasphemy are collected, something bad will happen which is most likely caused by "Her" influence.[34]

Circle of Inevitability[]

"She" possesses the authority of the Chaos Primogenitor Pathway and is worshipped by various factions under the name "The Great Mother". Some believe that all creatures in the world are the children of the Great Mother. They were directly transformed from the flesh and blood of the Great Mother.[35]

Since The Fool entered "His" slumber, the Outer Deities had advanced "Their" infiltration of Earth. The Mother Goddess of Depravity was the most prolific amongst "Them", managing to corrupt many members of the Sanguines and Church of the Earth Mother, including Father Montserrat. The Nightstalkers, a secret organization worshipping the Great Mother, was established in the Intis Republic.

The Mother Goddess of Depravity also cooperated with the Eternal Blazing Sun on certain matters, causing Lady Moon to become pregnant with a divine child from the Eternal Blazing Sun. However, it was revealed later on that the Eternal Blazing Sun chose to instead assist Red Angel Medici's bid in becoming the Calamity of Destruction instead, refusing to bow to neither "Her" nor Adam due to "His" pride. However, "She" had already created a symbolic bond between "Him" and Omebella, which may have been "Her" goal in the first place.

Anyone who attempts to take advantage of "Her" seems to be taken advantage of instead...

Magician to Lumian Lee

During Project Vortex, "She traded the corruption inside Roselle Gustav for the Shadow of the Beauty Goddess held by the Rose School of Thought, with the corruption being used to strip the Chained God of "His" last Abomination characteristic to give birth to Tirié.

"She" was active in The Fool's Dream, running Mushoku Hospital alongside the Mother Tree of Desire. Together, "They" stored the various traumas of Klein in the basement, and "She" granted New Life to the corpse of Panatiya in cooperation with the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. However, "She" would later betray "Him" by siding with the Primordial God Almighty instead, and withdraw from the Dream alongside the Mother Tree of Desire.

According to "Her" contract with the Primordial God Almighty, "He" would help "Her" reclaim the Goddess of Origin Authorities using Omebella, and "She" would help "Him" revive. In addition, "She" entered a contract with the Mother Tree of Desire and witnessed by the Primordial God Almighty, where the Mother Tree of Desire would sacrifice the Tree of Shadow to help the Mother Goddess of Depravity descend on Earth in The Day of Many Disasters. In return, the Mother Goddess of Depravity would need to give assistance to the Mother Tree of Desire later.

After The Day of Many Disasters, the Mother Goddess of Depravity had descended onto Earth and aimed for the Brood Hive in the Western Continent. The Fool exploited "Her" instinctual desire, lured "Her" to breach the Celestial Worthy's barrier sealing the Western Continent, then reinforced the seal; while the Western Continent's Celestial Master and others continued burning "Their" life forces and utilizing the powers of the Sefirot to sustain the barrier for almost a year. Eventually, the Mother Goddess of Depravity captured the Brood Hive within the gray-white fog sealing the Western Continent 2 months before the Death of Primordial Demoness. The Brood Hive yearns to see "Its" eldest daughter, Omebella, truly reborn, but "It" resists re-merging with the Mother Goddess of Depravity. The two were locked in a fierce struggle. Both the World of Ruins and the Western Continent attained a fleeting peace, with only the naturally dissipating forces and maternal symbolism still exerting their effects.[36]

When The Apocalypse began, Lumian destroyed both the Gift of the Land and Lilith to symbolically killed Omebella, who is the link between the Mother Goddess of Depravity and the Brood Hive.[37] Because of this, the Brood Hive, whose dissipating consciousness had been rekindled by intense hatred and mystical stimulation, reassembled and became active once more, delaying the complete fusion between "It" and the Mother Goddess of Depravity.[38] Klein Moretti, who had become a complete Lord of Mysteries, disrupted "Her" further by sending hundreds of billions of Marionettes "Her" way.[39]

The Mother Goddess of Depravity used the Authority of the Chaos Primogeniture to both fasten "Her" accommodation of the Brood Hive and remove the Astral Barrier. After Lumian Lee became the Calamity of Destruction, "He" used his mystical link and similarities to the Mother Goddess of Depravity to deal "Her" a critical blow, and forced "Her" to temporarily retreat away from the battlefield to heal "Her" injuries.

During the latter stage of the battle between Earth's Above the Sequences and the Outer Deities, the Mother Goddess of Depravity had recovered enough to influence the battlefield remotely. When the Mother Tree of Desire was heavily injured by Farbauti and the Master of the Shadow Cottage's self-curse, "She" exploited the cursed mystical connection to drag "Herself" toward the Tenebrous World battlefield. Klein attempted to Grafted back the connection, but failed due to the Mother Goddess of Depravity's intervention, making the Mother Tree of Desire successfully escape with the Tenebrous World. The Mother Goddess of Depravity also targeted Adam with New Life, which worsened "His" condition and caused the Primordial God Almighty to further awakened. After Klein incapacitated both the Supernova Dominator and the Goddess of Fate, the Mother Goddess of Depravity saved the Goddess of Fate from being Sealed.

Towards the end of the battle, the Mother Goddess of Depravity descended directly again, and fought briefly against Klein before he proposed a temporary truce. Klein then created a Loophole in "Her" contract with the Primordial God Almighty, allowing "Her" to avoid fulfilling "Her" end of the bargain immediately. "She" left the solar system alongside all "Her" children apart from Supernova Dominator, who had been Sealed by Klein previously. However, the contract was still in effect, meaning "She" would have to return some time in the future to help the Primordial God Almighty revive.
