Chapter 207 - Time Paradox

If his sense, destiny, and his soul were not lying to him, it was the CREATURE who was the reason behind all this. The monster responsible for vanishing his parents and millions of lives from his old world's entire solar system.

Suddenly hostile sage energy began to gush out from Sen. The giants and tigers present near felt as if the air became toxic all of a sudden. They were having extreme difficulty even to exhale out the air they had taken in before.

Breathing was just the beginning of their misery. From the hostile energy, all the tigers were completely forced into submission and were forced to lie down on the floor with blood flowing from their eye corners.

Something similar was the situation of the giants accompanying Sen and the tigers at that time. All of them were forced to lie down and were suffering from internal organ hemorrhages.

Sen wasn't aware of his surroundings anymore. All he wanted at that time was revenge, revenge, and revenge. His blood was boiling like the lava from a volcano to meet that creature and tear him apart in pieces.

Sen took a step forward, and cracks appeared on the ground. He took another step, and a volcano erupted at a distance behind him. Seeing the rage of the eight sage not only the tigers and emperor but also nature was trembling in fear.

The opening of the cave was covered with a big rock. This time Sen didn't use any of his power and instead went near and touched the big rock with his bare hands.

The rock turned into water and got absorbed in the ground. He was using all his inherited attributes, accompanied by his own attributes to its max level.

The way inside the cave opened up, and Sen went inside without any hesitation. The moment he entered inside, a dimensional barrier appeared around the cave, separating it from the real world and making it float on virtual infinite space.

But all these were not known to the giants and the tigers watching the view from far, all they saw was Sen entered and the cave began to float with a barrier around it.

Inside of the cave was cold and dark. Not a single life sign was detected by Sen's divine senses. He kept on walking till he reached near the end of the cave. At the end of the cave was a big rock, with a stone chair in front of it.

Sen had a look at the chair, and his energy levels erupted again. Sitting on top of the chair was a figure with a human body and a boar face.

Sen went near the chair made out of stone carving and grabbed the figure's throat.

The figure crumbled into pieces and turned into powder. No screech, no fight, no resistance.

Suddenly, Sen threw the powder in his hand and started to cry alone in that cave. Tears were gushing down from his eyes, everything was becoming blurry due to the tears coming from his eyes.

After killing the figure sitting on the stone, Sen realized it was not the original CREATURE, rather a skin shed by that CREATURE.

The barrier around the cave disappeared, and Sen came out of the cave with red swollen eyes. As his anger faded, the pressure that the tiger and the giants were facing also disappeared.

Seeing the miserable condition of Sen not only the giants but also the tigers got curious about it.

Some time ago he went inside with an overwhelming power that was more than enough to wipe out thousands of lives in that area. But when he came out, he was even more miserable than an orphan beggar on the streets.

Judging from his physical appearance, anybody could have said his life energy was sucked out of him. His cheeks were swallowed, his hands and legs had become thin. His jet black hairs had turned white and so on.

After walking out of the cave and taking some steps, Sen fell down on the ground and lost his consciousness.

"The dark infinity was cold and empty

Only 12 jewels were adorned on it.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo, 

Violet, Purple, Silver, Olive, Gray, Brown, and Blue were their colors.

Time was passing peacefully and the souls on"

That same voice echoed in his mind, Sen abruptly woke up from his sleep and found himself floating above the universe.

On a closer look, it was not a universe; it was an intersection of multiple universes that belonged to different timelines and parallel worlds.

"O' the chosen one, wake up. And pulverize your enemy!!" said a voice filled with enthusiasm.

Since the place was dark and Sen was still in a daze, he couldn't figure out who was talking and from where.

He rubbed his head and had a look around him to search for the source of that voice. But till then it had already disappeared. Sen stood up with some difficulty and looked down. Below his feet, multiple universes were getting entangled with each other.

Judging from the view, anybody could have said the universes were merging with each other for some reason. And it was not a good sign for Sen.

If all the universes merged into one, then the CREATURE would get enough energy to feed upon and destroy the rest of the universe. Besides that, if multiple universes completed the merging process, then it would also distort the time, space paradox.

Sen was thinking hard about what to do and how to stop it from happening. But on second thought, he was too tiny to do something in such a situation.

While he was pondering about it, he remembered he had inherited some knowledge of grandfather's paradox.

The grandfather paradox is a potential logical problem that would arise if a person were to travel to a past time. The name comes from the idea that if a person travels to a time before their grandfather had children, and kills him, it would make their own birth impossible.

Sen was thinking something like that. He was thinking of going back to the past and killing the reason for this problem.

But for doing that, he had to travel to the past. And to travel to the past he had to create a black hole or get negative matter or negative energy from somewhere.

One more problem he had to face in this was the pulling force existing inside a black hole. They are fierce enough that they would pull him like a rubber band and rip him apart into pieces.

Not only that, to make a time jump to the past he had to solve many other contradictions in fractions of minutes at that time to make a successful time jump.

When he started to think intensively about time, something happened inside him, and his time attribute began to evolve. The profound knowledge he had inherited from his parents began to evolve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The present is a point somewhere in the middle, the past stretches in one direction and the future unfurls in the other. There may or may not be a beginning or an end. There's also a Newtonian idea of global time: The same time line applies to everywhere in the Universe.

The most important objection to the logical possibility of backwards time travel is the so-called Grandfather paradox. This paradox has actually convinced many people that backwards time travel is impossible:

The dead giveaway that true time-travel is flatly impossible arises from the well-known "paradoxes" it entails. The classic example is "What if you go back into the past and kill your grandfather when he was still a little boy?"…So complex and hopeless are the paradoxes…that the easiest way out of the irrational chaos that results is to suppose that true time-travel is, and forever will be, impossible.

Travel into one's past…would seem to give rise to all sorts of logical problems, if you were able to change history. For example, what would happen if you killed your parents before you were born. It might be that one could avoid such paradoxes by some modification of the concept of free will. But this will not be necessary if what is called the chronology protection conjecture is correct: The laws of physics prevent closed timelike curves from appearing.

If time travel was logically possible, then the time traveller could return to the past and in a suicidal rage destroy his time machine before it was completed and murder his younger self. But if this was a necessary condition for the time trip to have occurred at all is removed, and we should then conclude that the time trip did not occur. Hence if the time trip did occur, then it did not occur. Hence it did not occur, and it is necessary that it did not occur. To reply, as it is standardly done, that our time traveller cannot change the past in this way, is a petitio principii.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And with that Sen understood that time travel was not an option nor a possibility, that can be achieved with his current power.
