The sound carried weight that pressed against the ordered Chaos around them, paradoxical breath that contradicted the serenity with implications of struggle yet to come.
"It seems that THE Entity had already won a great victory without any of us realizing it."
His voice was measured but heavy.
"And we have simply observed its completion right now. With my revival, I didn’t expect to be relaxing and taking a breather. But I also did not know that I would have to work so hard."
His brilliant features held calculations.
"Youngest, before I can get anywhere close to THE Second Scale of Existence, I need to rectify the paradox between me and my student. Only then would I truly be of significant help and I can move like my old self."
He paused.
"But before I leave, why don’t I get some help from you so that what has happened to our dear friend Chaos here does not happen to me?"
His obsidian-gold eyes fixed on Noah with directness that exceeded everything previous.
"Let me...have some of your Infinity."
...!
Noah’s eyes opened wide with marvel as he looked at THE Primordial Paradox!
How unique existence was!
He went to talk and try to convince THE Primordial Chaos and failed. He had presented logical arguments. He had used Abaddon’s own philosophy against him. He had offered a solution that would have prevented everything that just occurred.
And THE Primordial Chaos refused.
And yet THE Primordial Paradox reached out for Infinities himself!
Well, Paradox had already accepted the protection of his Infinity against THE Entity during their battle with Bazuman. And he had already been infected by THE Primordial Mycelia once, had felt what it meant to have his existence touched by unity that sought to consume individual identity.
He was much more careful and open-minded.
But Noah still had to ask.
"Chaos said no to my Infinities. How are you so carefree of it? You will effectively have your Civilization of Paradox mixed under my weavings of Infinity."
At such words, THE Primordial Paradox waved his hands dismissively.
"What nonsense is that?"
His voice carried the confidence of a being who had existed since logic first learned to contradict itself.
"I am confident of my Way and Civilization as I don’t worry about such things. I was Paradox. I will always be Paradox. Taking in your Infinities..."
He paused, considering his phrasing.
"It is like borrowing a shield from a friend who has many shields. That is all I am asking for. A shield that if I don’t need it in the future, I can simply give it back to you."
...!
The immensity and grandness of THE Primordial Paradox was truly magisterial to see!
Where THE Primordial Chaos had refused help out of pride that could not bend, THE Primordial Paradox accepted help out of wisdom that recognized when bending was strength rather than weakness. Where Abaddon believed his Chaos too fundamental to be touched by another, Paradox understood that accepting protection did not diminish what he fundamentally was.
Noah respected this being!
He gave a light nod as he waved his hand.
A Lotus petal materialized before him.
It glowed with blue-gold light that contained pre-formed Bounded Countable Infinity, harvested from THE Bounded Lotus of Sequential Eternity in the fields of the Early Veiled Shore. The same petals that had transformed his people in THE Yggdrheim. The same petals that could elevate finite beings into Infinite ones.

THE Primordial Paradox went forward to gain Bounded Countable Infinity!
