Chapter 37 – The Age of Creation
A voice unlike any other echoed through Hayden's mind, metallic, omnipresent, yet undeniably divine. It resonated across every shadow, every reality, and every atom of existence:

The System had evolved, transforming from a simple interface into a living, commanding consciousness, a divine machine that now obeyed only him. Hayden felt it surge through him, shadows intertwining with raw cosmic energy, the heartbeat of infinite realities syncing to his will.

The Final Paradox
As their new universes solidified, a tremor pulsed through existence a distortion, unseen yet palpable. Hayden paused, shadows bristling.
> "A remnant… beyond even us," the System spoke, its voice sharper, metallic, commanding.
"Designation: Final Paradox. Exists to challenge creation itself. It is a leftover of the Supreme God's ultimate test."
Selene's hand gripped his. "Then we face it… together."
Hayden smiled, shadows forming a throne of living darkness beneath him. "Of course. If it wants a fight, it will get one. But know this it won't touch what we've made… or each other."
His Shadow Infinity Strike flared, a beacon of absolute authority across all realities. Selene's light intertwined, amplifying every shadow, every possibility, every strike. Together, they were unassailable, creators of existence and masters of eternity.

"Let's finish this," he said.
"And then create a universe where nothing can betray us," she replied.
The Supreme Shadow Monarch and his Eternal Light stepped forward into the infinite horizon, ready to face the Final Paradox and secure the dominion of existence itself.
