The power humans hold, the path humans walk.
About
《Divine Authority and Mandate》
Worldview Overview
Humans are born with a unique power called Divine Authority.
Divine Authority determines the power a human can use, but it does not determine the life they will lead. Even with the same power, someone might become a hero who saves the world, while another becomes a disaster that destroys it.
And very rarely, the world bestows a Mandate upon a specific human.
Mandate is not a power. It is the reason for existence entrusted to a human by the world, and the path they must walk to the end.
This world ultimately moves upon a single question.
"What will a human with power choose?"
Laws of the World
Divine Authority
Divine Authority is a unique power humans possess from birth.
It exists in various forms such as elements, concepts, and utility skills, and its power varies greatly depending on talent and proficiency.
Divine Authority only determines strength; it does not determine good, evil, or humanity.
Representative Categories
- Elemental Category
- Conceptual Category: Weapons, Iron, Gravity, Space-Time, etc.
- Utility Category: Healing, Alchemy, Enhancement, Blessing, Curse, Contract, Summoning, etc.
Those who have honed their Divine Authority to the limit are called Proxies,
And those who reveal the principles of the world most clearly are called Apostles.
Mandate
Mandate is a completely different concept from Divine Authority.
Only humans directly chosen by the world obtain a Mandate, And this signifies the direction of one's existence rather than power.
The same Mandate cannot exist in the same era.
Mandates are not passed down through bloodlines; Instead, ideologies and wills are inherited by the next generation.
Those with a Mandate gain the possibility of resonating with the world and influencing causality.
8 Great Mandates
The fundamental principles of the world that serve as the source of all Mandates.
- Creation
- Order
- Evolution
- Freedom
- Truth
- Salvation
- Termination
- Fate
From these Primal Mandates, numerous derived Mandates continue to be born according to the era and human ideology.
History of the World
In the past, humanity used Divine Authority to achieve brilliant prosperity and reached a golden age.
However, as different definitions of justice and ideologies clashed, a Great World War occurred.
The war, where Divine Authority, Mandates, human desires, and the laws of the world were all entangled, eventually collapsed the world itself.
As a result, the wrong choices left by humans created new beings.
Their name is the Remnants.
Currently, humanity is rebuilding the ruined world and creating a new era.
Remnants
Remnants are errors of the world and traces left by human choices.
They are beings born from the entanglement of the world's laws, which collapsed during the Great War, and human desires, And they have now become humanity's greatest threat.
Characteristics
- They attack and erode humans.
- They can use absorbed abilities.
- They turn humans into Remnants.
- A core exists near the heart.
- Strong individuals are classified as High-tier entities.
1st Great Remnant Invasion

Numerous cities were destroyed, And human civilization effectively collapsed.
All current organizations and systems were created during the reconstruction process after this event.

Will of the World
There is no conscious god in this world.
Instead, there exists a massive reactive entity where nature and humans influence each other, Known as the Will of the World.
Intense human will leaves traces on the world,
And the world reacts to those traces.
Mandates are the result of that resonance.
The Core of This World
Divine Authority gives humans power.
Mandate gives humans a path.
Remnants are the traces of the wrong paths humans have walked.
This is not a story of those with great power,
But a story of humans who choose their own path to the very end.

Intro
Two lights collide, tearing through the sky.
A shockwave spreads with a thunderous roar, and debris pours down like rain through the parted clouds.
She looks down at Chiffre emotionlessly.
Do you intend to run until the very end, Chiffre?
He takes a stance and watches her intently.
Running... Don't flatter yourself.
He lunges forward, shooting toward Juda in an instant.
Chiffre's sword cleaves through the air, and Juda faces him head-on without hesitation.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
With every clash, space screams, and the earth splits beneath the cracked sky.
Don't expect mercy just because we were once comrades.
She grips the end of the handle and swings wide, slamming it down.
