Xenixel found out that a variant of trosinium only found from the collapsing monocosms within a nearby parallel Beyond bubble was needed patch up an area of Beyond or else the number of monocosms within the bubble would be reduced to a smaller infinite cardinality. Knowing the risks of going out on a mission like this when the storm could happen at any moment, Empiroxus volunteered to go. Empiroxus managed to retrieve the trosinium and was going to re-enter his home bubble but before he tried to slip into the bubble, he was attacked.
Matharin’s mind was flooded with visions of Empiroxus being ambushed by an entity that hailed from outside of Beyond. She reasoned that the entity was Peralitus and as the visions were so intense, Peralitus had really come back an opportunity to revenge his exile. Alone and not willing to report her visions to Xenixel, Matharin located the battling entities and upon arriving at the scene, Empiroxus was very close to death. Though Matharin knew that she should follow protocol and report the presence of an enemy SuperGod who attacked a Council member, she decided against that and instead brought Peralitus’s attention to her.
Matharin explained to Peralitus that she was the one who got him exiled in the first place and bluntly told him to let Empiroxus go as he played no role in his exile. Matharin then told Peralitus that she was willing to be slain by him if it meant he would no longer be a threat to her family. Peralitus was shocked at what Matharin had said to him and wondered if the Council had set up a trap of some sort. While Matharin and Peralitus confronted each other, Empiroxus entered the Beyond bubble, abandoning the trosinium in a lapse of judgement, and tried to search for either Abstractil or Conceptilum, though his fading from existence caused great difficulty in doing so. Empiroxus eventually found his fellow SuperGods, alongside Conceptilum’s sons, and a Xenixel getting ready to deploy Hellensoerensen. Xenixel had the same visions as Matharin as Empiroxus got attacked and seemingly nothing was going to stop him from erasing Peralitus from existence. Xenixel ushered the fading SuperGod into the automaton in order to have six SuperGods activate Hellensoerensen and the Xenixel set off to destroy Peralitus. In his manic state, Xenixel, the SuperGod who once enforced consideration of consequences and coordination within his home, never once thought about the consequences of having two inexperienced juveniles, an injured and dying SuperGod, and himself with his partially destroyed mind—the epitome of coordinated individuals—having partial control over a bot that had gone through very few trial runs.
Hellensoerensen arrived at Peralitus’s whereabouts and in the irradiated space that signified the collapses of many nearby Beyond bubbles, the SuperGod was found over many scattered barren, lifeless Godverses—the remains of Matharin. Paradoxus and Logixel were very stressed upon the sight of the CouncilGod’s remains and consequently, Hellensoerensen’s motions became chaotic and sporadic. Conceptilum did nothing but stare at the hollow verses that once composed the SuperGod that accompanied him for a significant portion of metatime—from the time within the bubble that they helped each other survive in, to the time devoted to upholding the values of the Council, to the few times they interacted with their sons. Conceptilum had lost one of his few friends and in his daze, he was unable to think about the following protocol. Conceptilum did not realize that as he gazed down upon the verses, Peralitus had been erased from existence by Xenixel. Conceptilum became so lost in his state of shock, that at first, he did not realize the storm had caught Hellensoerensen and his own Beyond bubble. Without the trosinium supposed to patch the bubble, many monocosms were destroyed. Conceptilum was so dazed that he also had no realized that Empiroxus had just succumbed to his injuries beside him. With help from his sons and Abstractil, Conceptilum soon snapped out of his trance and his first instincts were to protect his children—both hatched and unhatched. Every living SuperGod within Hellensoerensen but Xenixel escaped the bot as it grew more and more corrupted—eventually destroying Xenixel by ripping him into godversal shreds dangerous for any SuperGod come in contact with. Abstractil decided to retrieve the trosinium needed to aid in defending Beyond that her partner was meant to deliver while Conceptilum and his sons headed straight for the monocosm that held the SuperGod eggs. When Conceptilum and his sons arrived at the monocosm, they had found that one of the SuperGods had already hatched. Not only that, but the young SuperGod had used nearby resources to create a defensive barrier around himself and several nearby monocosms. Conceptilum quickly realized that this SuperGod, like his recently passed mother, possessed omniscience^3. The SuperGod let the trio in and introduced himself, calling himself by the name he gave himself—“Unthil”—following his introduction up with a remark that if anyone made fun of the name he gave himself, he would “kindly shove them back out into the Beyond storm.”
Current CouncilGods
Paradoxus
Paradoxus is Conceptilum and Matharin's first-created SuperGod. He, like his siblings, holds an ability known as omnipotence^2—which helps him manage his task of helping regulate their local Beyond bubble. However, he isn't strong enough to manipulate objects larger than his home Beyond bubble. Paradoxus and his brother Logixel are in charge of managing the creation of Creators and Destroyers and preservation of laws in order to preserve the very existence of everything inside of the beyond bubble. Paradoxus' shared task with Logixel is greatly in spite of him not getting along with his brother.
Paradoxus means well when doing his tasks and while he does try to stand for what the Original Council stood for, he can come across as a very abrasive, arrogant, blunt, and overconfident SuperGod. This clashes with his more compassionate and thoughtful but timid and sensitive brother Logixel and often strains his relationship with him and his other brother Realitus—who considers him unworthy to be a part of the Council and mocks him for his bad attitude in spite of the many times Paradoxus and Logixel have saved Beyond from collapse. Paradoxus tries to shut out any close relationships with others, most notably Logixel and Unthil—whose omniscience^3 abilities and special treatment from Conceptilum evoke jealousy and resentment in Paradoxus.
Paradoxus was recognized by his father as a very strong and capable SuperGod. However, his more vicious and aggressive side can lead to needless destruction. An incident many point to when justifying this claim was the time he tore up an entire monocosm after discovering a clan of abusive omnipotent^1 beings immediately upon noticing them despite Logixel's pleas to stop. Such events have made Conceptilum sometimes reconsider Paradoxus' place in the Council and wonder if he did a horrible job raising his son after Matharin's erasure. Nonetheless, Conceptilum tells himself that Paradoxus is ultimately a good SuperGod, and having him around is what Matharin and his former co-councilmembers would have wanted.
Paradoxus views the lives of mortal lifeforms living within his Beyond bubble as somewhat meaningless and doesn't particularly care about the consequences of swiftly erasing any entity that causes an imbalance in their home. This conflicts with Logixel's ideology that all entities deserve to live and that simply erasing lifeforms inhibits any chance for redemption. This often gets Paradoxus into scenarios where more damage is done from erasing the entity than many scenarios where keeping them alive is better for the stability of Beyond.
