Immense waves of Civilizational Authority of Paradox erupted from Aurelius Paradoxus...a golden light that expanded outward to form into sea of paradoxical power.
This golden sea rose to match and drown out all incoming attacks, attempting to negate their assault through fundamental reality manipulation.
In the surroundings, a different symphony started to bloom with the eruption of Civilizational Authority of Paradox- a competing melody that clashed with the drums of Hunger.
And accompanying this counter-melody:
"PARADOX!"
A booming singular word of Paradox threatened to drown out Hunger...trying to impose its authority over the battlefield through sheer weight of established Primordial Civilization!
Once more, Protos analyzed the threat and communicated to his forces
"This technique seeks to impose upon you and your abilities a self-negating truth. According to this paradox, you can only exist if you do not exist. The truth seeks to retroactively erase you and your abilities even before you existed...to make it so you never were."
"Does such a truth align with your duty?"
...!
The short but grand synchronized reply of the Primus Inevitabilities rang out with absolute conviction.
"NO! Paradox cannot erase our duty!"
Protos’ eyes shone brilliantly with glorious crimson light as he bellowed out the command.
"Then... FULFILL. YOUR. DUTY!"
...!
BOOM!
Void Appetite erupted again with even greater intensity than before, Infinite Hunger responding to paradoxical assault with absolute consumption.
Oh!
The glorious jaws manifested throughout the golden sea, stellar tentacles wrapping around concentrated Civilizational Authority of Paradox and devouring it with methodical precision.
The paradox that sought to erase them was being consumed. The truth that claimed they could only exist if they didn’t exist was being eaten by hunger that didn’t care about logical contradictions.
Infinite Hunger devoured even paradoxes.
|Ontological Anchoring has been systematically devoured by Infinite Hunger. Paradoxical truth negated through consumption rather than logical refutation.|
|All Primus Inevitabilities present gain +1.5 Quintillion Complexity and Purity.|
|The Master requests no portion of this harvest. All essence flows to his forces and Civilization.|
...!
The golden sea of Civilizational Authority of Paradox faded as it was devoured, and the attacks of 100,000 Wyrms descended with 900,000 heads worth of molten Civilizational Authority raining down.
Aurelius Paradoxus gazed at them coldly from below, his expression mixing fury with calmness.
The glorious scene that followed was devastating in its relentlessness.
The attacks landed on his body one by one...900,000 streams of molten Mana and Hunger crashing against his form with combined weight that exceeded even his substantial defenses.
He gazed at them coldly as his entire body shone golden with protective light...attempting to nullify all attacks as they smashed into him through paradoxical negation.
A staredown commenced between the Avatar and those above.
Aurelius looked toward Noah and Ozymandias with eyes that carried killing intent.
But the crimson eyes of Protos were the only thing that met his gaze...Protos staring down this being that was being bombarded with attacks of all his brethren while standing perfectly still between the enemy and his Master.
He was withstanding assault that would have devastated lesser beings. His Civilizational Authority of Paradox was genuine, his power substantial.
In the staredown, Protos observed the infallible golden glow of Paradox surrounding the Avatar dim slightly over time as... Infinite Hunger began to take bites from it!
