Japan.
In a dark, secret basement chamber,
"O great existence in the boundless mystery..."
"Lord of mediocrity..."
"King of desolation..."
"We beg you to cast down your gaze and accept the humble offerings of your believers..."
An Esoteric Buddhist prayer ritual was underway.
Yamamura Xiaoyezi, dressed in clerical attire, held the holy text "Book of Telling Deaths" in her hands, her voice at times soaring, at times deep.
"Our lord is named 'Lord of Mediocrity'! He is the only light of salvation in the apocalypse!"
"Our lord has a thousand faces, a thousand identities, He symbolizes the myriad things of creation, the symbol of transformation..."
"Thus, His divine images can take different forms to represent His varied identities, but each identity is a great existence that we mere mortals cannot behold directly..."
After a ceremony filled with mystical significance, Yamamura Xiaoyezi started to go about her daily religious duties.
