Even as he started this process, even as the combined authority of THE Loom began to flow toward the Crack of Observable Existence, something else demanded his attention.
"Huh?"
THE Living Paradox turned to a certain direction, his eyes shining with wonder and incredulity as he felt his weavings of Paradox buzzing. His Claim to Paradox was buzzing as if something else was contesting it, as if another authority was rising that held legitimate connection to the aspect he had usurped.
And he recognized this aura.
It was impossible to mistake!
It was the aura of the one single being he respected the most apart from THE Creature in all of Observable Existence.
It was the aura of his teacher.
THE Primordial Paradox.
The being he had consumed to claim his position among THE Four. The master who had taught him everything he knew about Paradox and contradiction and the nature of impossible things. The entity whose existence he had supposedly ended when he usurped the Claim.
And yet that aura was blooming somewhere in Observable Existence, growing stronger by the moment.
"Haha... ridiculous."
THE Living Paradox couldn’t help but smile and laugh at such an unfolding weaving of existence. His laughter echoed across the paradoxical mountain, filled not with concern but with something approaching joy.
They continued to turn up the heat on him to make him feel as if he was boiling.
THE Creature waged war against him.
THE Youngest held grudges.
And now his own teacher was apparently returning from collapse to contest his Claim.
The impossibilities were stacking up.
The adversities were multiplying!
The hardships were reaching heights that would have broken any other being in Observable Existence.
And THE Living Paradox was jubilant.
Because this was yet another impossible adversity. This was yet more fuel for the Vakochev Scales. This was yet another challenge that, if overcome, would elevate his existence to heights that no one had ever reached.
He would also turn the heat up for all of them.
If they wanted to make things difficult for him, he would make things difficult for everyone.
So as ridiculously as it seemed, another pivotal moment unfolded at this moment in time. And uniquely, it was not THE Genesis Monarch who was at the center of it.
For once, someone else was initiating a change that would reshape Observable Existence.
THE Living Paradox made his move.
His Axioms blazed with authority that exceeded what any single Absolute should possess, channeling THE Loom’s accumulated power through the Crack of Observable Existence. The fracture cried out as if in pain, becoming torn even further by forces that shouldn’t have been able to affect something that predated Observable Existence itself.
But no proto-matter flooded out of it.
Instead, THE Living Paradox flooded something else into it.
THE Fallout.
If THE Creature wanted adversity, THE Living Paradox would give him adversity.
If THE Youngest wanted to grow strong in this place, THE Living Paradox would make it infinitely more dangerous!
