So like. . . the god above all gods.

[that is how he is understanding it]

And you're vying for that title?

Technically, I've already obtained it.

[... but there is a pause.

a hesitation.]

There is an aspect of the Pathways that I haven't explained as clearly.

[if it's a title he has already obtained then why is it contested??]

[. . . perhaps Smith will answer that question shortly]

Yeah? What aspect?

[he is. going to sit on the couch now, setting the book down in his lap]

The origins of it. The reason why I said the Tarot was retro-fitted to it.

It's because... the 22 Pathways are all... just pieces of the Primordial God who created everything. There is also something called the Convergence of Characteristics. These pieces are constantly seeking ways to come together, in other words.

The higher one goes, the more they have to contend with the consciousness of that being.

The Lord of Mysteries, along with The God Almighty and The Mother Goddess of Depravity, are not just Pillars, but the first two are halves of that original being. So their influences and consciousnesses are much more pronounced.

When I ascended to Lord of Mysteries... I had to take time to ensure my humanity wasn't completely overrun immediately. The Evernight Goddess and a few others... my Tarot Club... they helped with that.

That is also why... you must not conflate the two faces. But at the same time, they are both "me". The one with that title of Lord of Mysteries.

[... that is probably a lot to take in, so. just. letting Makoto process this now.]

[plops onto the couch right next to Smith, slumping back against the cushions. it takes him a few long moments of silence to process all of this, and when he is finished. . . for once, he doesn't have any follow up questions]

[just some cheeky commentary]

Dude. . . that's so much responsibility.

You really need a vacation.

[can gods take vacations]

[... somehow was expecting ALL THE QUESTIONS.

so he mostly.

sinks back against the couch.]

I would love to have a vacation, in fact.

With good food.

[LET HIM. BE LAZY.]

[maybe he's tired of asking questions]

One day.

The universe can't keep you as its chew toy forever.

[oh but it can is the existential horror of it all.]

Mm... that's true.
