Chapter 3950: The Past and the Dead! II

Duke Elagabalus felt the weight of that silence pressing against him.

"You know already, Duke Schrodinger," he said.

"You are one of the true leaders of Paradox. If there really is a possible threat of an Early Creature for the Paradoxes, only those like you can handle it."

The beggar’s smile deepened, and suddenly the illusion of poverty seemed as thin as morning mist.

Though his clothes remained tattered and his position unchanged beside the muddy road, there was something in his bearing that spoke of terrifying Paradoxical Authority!

Schrodinger!

Oh, Schrodinger!

"Ah," Schrodinger said, "You see, Duke Elagabalus, you have stumbled upon the very heart of what it means to exist within Paradox itself."

He gestured with one hand toward the road where a merchant’s cart had just struck a particularly deep pothole, sending muddy water splashing in all directions while the driver cursed with creative eloquence.

"Consider the nature of uncertainty," Schrodinger continued, his eyes taking on that terrible brightness.

"In the realm of Paradox, we exist perpetually suspended between states of being and non-being, between possibility and impossibility. Sinners. Anchored. What is Paradox, if not the acknowledgment that reality itself refuses to conform to the simple categories that lesser minds demand?"

HUUM!

The air around them began to shimmer with barely visible energies as Schrodinger’s true nature began to bleed through his carefully constructed disguise.

"At this very moment, Ozymandias exists in a state of quantum uncertainty regarding his fundamental nature. He is simultaneously an Early Creature and not an Early Creature, a being of existential significance and a mere Fold Dweller of limited scope. His true nature remains hidden behind the veil of observation until the moment when certainty collapses possibility into a single, immutable, magisterial truth."

...!

Duke Elagabalus found himself leaning forward despite every instinct that warned him against showing such open interest.

"But surely," he said, "there must be some way to determine-...."

"Ah, but that is where you misunderstand the beauty of true Paradox," Schrodinger interrupted with a gentle correction.

"The moment we attempt to observe and categorize, we fundamentally alter the nature of what we observe. Our very act of seeking certainty changes the parameters of the equation. Until that moment of collapse occurs, Ozymandias remains beautifully, terrifyingly uncertain."

WAA!

When Schrodinger finished these words, Duke Elagabalus released a sigh that carried the weight of eons.

"That does not advance any solution here," he said, frustration bleeding through his carefully maintained composure.

At such words, Schrodinger’s smile took on a change that transformed it from gentle amusement into something far more dangerous.

"So what if he turns out to be an Early Creature?" he asked with casual indifference.

"Are you so fearful of an Early Creature?"

BOOM!
