Oh yes, if you haven't noticed yet, pirate admirals aren't all equal either.
Edwina and Tracy are vice admirals while Cattleya is a full admiral. It doesn't necessarily mean Cattleya is a higher sequence because Tracy is also a sequence 5.
Mostly, it's based on the overall combat power of their fleet and the artifacts they possess.
The Chained God has been very briefly mentioned before.
"He" is the God that stands at the pinnacle of the [Chained]*previously known as [Mutant]*(prisoner) pathway. "He" is worshiped by the Rose school of thought.
From the new information that we got, we have a suspicious that "he" is just an identity for the mother tree of desire, just like how the see God is for the Fool.
Simple, he saw something that he shouldn't have. Not Cynthia but the source of her corruption. If it wasn't because of the demigod level charm, then he would've probably lost control on the spot.
2. How did he heal them?
If you remember, one of the abilities he received as a Magician was "Damage Transfer". It allows him to transfer any none fatal damage to relatively trivial parts of his body. This ability has also been enhanced when he advanced to faceless, so it's a lot more potent.
There were 2 thrones of equal status in that underground ruin. We also knew that there were three empires at that time.
1. The Tudor dynasty
2. The Solomon Empire
3. The Trunsoest Empire
With the new info we got now, we can conclude that:
Apparently after Blood Emperor Alista Tudor succeeded in "his" suicidal gamble at changing pathways from [Black Emperor] to [Red Priest], an alliance was forged between "him" and the Night Emperor of the Trunsoest Empire.
Eventually, the Black Emperor of the Solomon Empire perished, and the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire was established in the northern continent. Those two thrones belong to the consoles of the two united empires.
1. Distortion or distort: it comes from the [Black Emperor] pathway's sequence 6, Baron of Corruption. Basically, it distorts a phenomenon, action, or law. For example, by closing a door and using the distort, he can effectively change the action of "closing a door" to "sealing the room."
2. Bribe-weaken:
it comes from sequence 7 Briber. It's a very fun and useful ability. It's basically a debuff. By "giving" an object to someone, he can debuff their attack, defense, and other aspects. For example, that guy threw a bottle at Klein at the start of the fight, and it debuffed Klein's abilities and even his gun's fire power.

Also note: The [Dark Emperor] has been changed to the [Black Emperor].
Ok, we got to know a new sequence 6 potion called Potions Professor, but I'm not going to add it to the Blasphemy Archive.
The reason is that we still don't know which pathway this sequence belongs to. We do have two pathways with the biggest possibilities.
1. The [Earth] pathway belonging to the church of Earth Mother, which we have the least amount of informative about with only its sequence 9 Planter being known to us. It would also explain why the churches of Earth Mother tend to divert vampires into their religion.
2. The (Apothecary) pathway, which we only have the sequences 9 and 8. The similarities between the Apothecary sequence and the Potions Professor and their specialty in potions make this pathway another big possibility.
If you remember, he was short of one main ingredient to advance to sequence 6 Wind-blessed. That Blue Shadow Falcon that he hunted was the Beyonder creature that gave him the ingredient.
2. Why did he lie about the price of his new artifact?
Because he gave 3000€ of his 6000€ reward to Klein and to not attract suspicion from the church, he had to buy an artifact as a smoke screen.
1. We already knew that in the 4th epoch, there was a war between 4 emperors to reach sequence 0 [Dark Emperor].
2. Death was the first to perish in this war, and the remaining three, which each held a sequence 1 characteristic of the [Dark Emperor] pathway, continued to fight.
3. Alista Tudor, the Blood Emperor, saw that the situation was hopeless, so "he" made a bold decision.
4. "He" killed the Red Angel Medici with someone's help(we don't know who) and tried to advance to sequence 0 [Red Priest] with "his" characteristic.
5. The [Red Priest] and [Dark Emperor] pathways are not interchangeable, so it was basically a suicidal gamble.
6. He somehow succeeded and became a true God, but because of changing to a not neighboring pathway, "he" became mad.

Anyway, a reminder in case you forgot:

In general, the world is composed of three "realms".
1. The real world or the material realm
2. The spirit world or the immaterial realm, which we've seen a couple of times already.
3. The Astral world, which is suspected to be the "divine realm," where true Gods reside in.
1. What happened with his eyes?
Simple, he saw something that he shouldn't have. Not Cynthia but the source of her corruption. If it wasn't because of the demigod level charm, then he would've probably lost control on the spot.
2. How did he heal them?
If you remember, one of the abilities he received as a Magician was "Damage Transfer". It allows him to transfer any none fatal damage to relatively trivial parts of his body. This ability has also been enhanced when he advanced to faceless, so it's a lot more potent.

Explanation for the new Beyonder abilities:
