「我们不医治肉体,也不解放灵魂;不贪恋生,也不避讳死。我们尊崇『存在』本身。」
——混沌医师慕榕
「存在是虚无的。」——当某个存在无意中产生了这样的思想并引之为箴,就会奇妙地踏上由Ⅸ执掌的命途,接受从遥远虚空某处来自星神的无意义瞥视。这一瞥通常引来两种结局:一者自此颓唐,真正成为虚无的存在,被称为「自灭者」;第二者则被瑰丽的星神神性所倾倒,不约而同地产生一丝好奇,使他们成为了「混沌医师」。
混沌医师们秉持着悬壶济世的信条:即如果能向Ⅸ证明存在并非虚无,便能从未知的巨大黑潭中将这巨大而孤独的生灵解放出来。这一心愿近似悖论,人力几不可成,但混沌医师甘之如饴:因为在察觉到生命的无价值一瞬间,那从遥远星海中投来的瞥视,令他们产生了对虚无命运的徒劳反抗之心。
Doctors of Chaos — Nihility
"We do not heal the body, nor free the soul. We do not covet life, nor shun death. We honor existence itself."
— Murong, Doctor of Chaos
"Existence is nothing." When an organism has this thought and applies it as a guiding principle, it begins to walk on the Path ruled by IX and receive the meaningless glimpse of the Aeon from some distant void. This will usually have two outcomes: 1) The organism will devolve and truly become nothing, becoming something called a Self-Annihilator. 2) The organism will be captivated by the magnificence of the Aeon, thus becoming a Doctor of Chaos in their spontaneous curiosity.
Doctors of Chaos uphold a creed of saving the world: If they are able to prove to IX that existence is more than nothing, they could free that large and lonely soul from the depths of the void. What they try to prove is a paradox, and it cannot be done by mortals, yet the Doctors of Chaos seem to enjoy trying — Because the moment they perceived the worthlessness of life, that glance from the distant cosmos inspired within them a futile desire to revolt against meaningless destiny.
