“ | Different pathways had different Uniquenesses. A true god was unique! |
„ |
— Klein Moretti on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 440 |
Uniqueness (唯一性 Wéiyīxìng) is the unique characteristic of a Pathway, and is the most important ingredient for promoting to Sequence 0.[1] Uniqueness is also referred to as the symbolism or authority of the corresponding Pathway,[2][3] and needs to be accommodated in order to become a True God and gain complete authority over the respective Pathway. To become a Great Old One, one has to merge with the corresponding Sefirah and accommodate all Uniquenesses and at least 1 Sequence 1 characteristic of each Pathway in the group.[4]
Description[]
Uniqueness, like the name suggests, has the property of being unique, meaning at any moment in time, there can only be one Uniqueness for each Pathway. For example, a Scholar of Yore cannot summon anything associated with the Uniqueness from the Historical Void.[5][6] Uniquenesses are typically abstract items or concepts.[7] Once the Uniqueness has been accommodated by a Beyonder, "They" can change the Uniqueness' corresponding concepts and symbols over and over, allowing them to change their form forever to the possessor's preferences.[8]
There are certain cases that a fake Uniqueness can be projected by a Dual-Pathway True God with partial control of the corresponding Sefirah:
- When a Sequence 0: Visionary first gained control of the Chaos Sea and accommodated a second Uniqueness and corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic to a certain extent, “He” could “Envision” the remaining, fake Uniquenesses of the God Almighty group, and accommodated them.[2]
- Amon, a Dual-Pathway True God of the Error and Door Pathways, used the Sefirah Castle to manifest a translucent mask that was similar to The Fool's Uniqueness, but one that was even more illusory.[9]
Accommodation[]
Uniqueness can exist on its own, being made into artifacts, or being accommodated inside a Beyonder. Some Uniquenesses, such as Artificial Death and the Hidden Sage, were able to come to life and acted as fake gods of the corresponding Pathways. Accommodation gives partial control over the authority to which the Uniqueness belongs. Kings of Angels who have accommodated the Uniqueness of their Pathway can be considered half a True God and can shorten their Honorific Names to three lines similar to a God's name. Once a Beyonder has successfully accommodated the Uniqueness at a previous point in time, so long as no one has accommodated "Their" former Uniqueness, "Their" level would not drop and "Their" former Honorific Name would still point towards "Them", even if "They" have perished and become a special existence, such as the Evil Spirit Sauron-Einhorn-Medici.[10]
There are three ways to accommodate the Uniqueness:[11][12]
- Born naturally with the Uniqueness, which is equivalent to being a Uniqueness coming to life and imbuing human nature into it.
- Make the Uniqueness come to life to a certain extent before forcefully putting it into one’s body. By relying on the power of an existence at the level of a Great Old One to suppress it, it will take some time to slowly wear the Uniqueness down before one gets used to it and achieve a balance.
- Concoct the Uniqueness into an incomplete potion and drink it with a simplified apotheosis ritual.
