THE Resplendent Paradox stood in a vast and wide cavernous space within The Existential Lattice, her contradictory features shifting through expressions that held calculation beneath her calm.
Invisible faint chains connected to her form, arteries and veins of corrupted authority that bound her to this location with a force that should have been impossible to resist. They pulsed with a rhythm that spread her Claim to Paradox outward like a beacon, drawing creatures born from the cancerous lifeblood of Observable Existence toward her position.
She had been here for what felt like eons, though time moved strangely within this construct.
The crystalline walls around her hummed with biological wrongness, purple obsidian brilliance that seemed almost alive in its corruption. Channels stretched outward in multiple directions, pathways through which mutated creatures could approach from regions she could not perceive.
And something was approaching now.
