Paradox goes crashing through the wall of his house as Norika sends him flying with a punch to the face.

She walks through the hole she just made while making her way towards Paradox.

Paradox quickly stands up, getting into a defensive stance while simultaneously transforming into their [Omnipotent Form].

Norika is not surprised by this, as she has heard tales about the deeds her father performed in this form. Instead, she just smiles and charges at him.

She pulls out her Black Blade and swings it with full force at Paradox, who dodges it, causing the blade to strike the ground and create a massive explosion.

Norika follows up by revealing the first [Rune] of her sword and shooting multiple balls of fire at high speed at Paradox, who deflects them.

But there is something off about it; the balls of fire actually harm him, which should be impossible in this form. He notices something he hadn't before: Norika has Omnicore flowing through her veins and inside her sword.

With this knowledge, Paradox realizes that even with this new power, the fight will be hard-fought, but this time, he does not plan on losing.

“Why are you attacking me? Aren’t you my daughter? Shouldn't we be, like, hanging out and stuff?” Paradox asks, hoping she will finally tell him why she is attacking him.

Norika responds with a few words, “You should be able to figure that out yourself, Father,” she says with so much hatred in her voice, a stark difference from how she has spoken before.

With that, Paradox activates their [Omni-Watch] and scans Norika, gaining her powers as well as her memories.

By doing this, Paradox is able to see two key reasons why she hates him: his death, which left her without a father, and his refusal to be brought back to life by her mother and the others.

But there is another key part to her anger, the number one reason: he allowed himself to be killed by his enemy instead of bringing himself back to life or defeating the enemy, all for the fun of seeing what it would be like to stay dead for a long time.

With this new knowledge, Paradox realizes that his future self was one hell of a jerk and that because of his stupid actions, he is now facing the consequences.

‘Why do I have to deal with this?’ Paradox thinks to himself but steels himself to try and change his daughter in hopes that she will give up on trying to kill him.

“I can see why you hate me… But you have to keep in mind that wasn’t me. Well, yes, it was me, but future me,” Paradox says, hoping to calm her down, which only leads to a ball of fire flying at him. He fazes right through it via his ability.

“I already know that, but the fact remains that you will choose the future, and I am here to put a stop to that,” she says, charging at him and swinging her blade down for a heavy blow.

Paradox quickly pulls out their scythe, blocking the strike without showing any sign of struggle, and pushes her away.

‘So it seems that any physical attack I block with my weapons won’t hurt me—but if she lands a direct attack outside of that, it will do damage,’ Paradox thinks to himself, figuring out how to fight her.

Norika, seeing how her strike did no damage, decides to transform. Her skin turns red and radiates such intense heat that it begins to disintegrate everything around her instantly in red steam, while her white hair gains red highlights at the tips.

The house that Paradox fixed up instantly begins to burn down, turning to red steam.

“This form is called [Aka Hakai] or [Red Destruction], and it will be your end,” Norika says, giving the name of this form.

With this, Norika moves forward, taking one step and appearing beside Paradox, thrusting her blade, aiming at his heart.

Paradox, seeing this, snaps their fingers, slowing time down to a still. But even then, Norika seems to be moving quickly, so he jumps to the side just as the steam from Norika burns through the frozen time, freeing her.

“That heat you produce is such an annoyance,” Paradox says, only getting a glare in return before a fist slams into his face, sending him flying and crashing into the nearby, now-named [Death Forest] because of all the times it has been destroyed and no one has figured out why.

Paradox regains their balance as they shake their head, whipping around and blocking the incoming punch from Norika with their scythe, being pushed back a couple of feet.

“I have just one request: let’s keep this fight without destroying the universe, shall we?” Paradox asks, hoping she will agree to it.

She thinks about it for a second before saying, “Alright, fine by me, but no promises.” She charges at him again, this time releasing the second [Rune] of her sword.

With the second [Rune] released, the flames around her sword turned from red to blue while becoming even hotter, causing the forest around them to burst into flames just from standing there.

Norika looks at Paradox before shooting a very powerful heat beam from her eyes, as hot as the sun and strong enough to destroy a star.

Paradox, upon seeing this, puts on his [Uni Gloves], deflecting the attack while thinking that they need to always have them on from now on.

After deflecting the attack, Paradox charges in, swinging their scythe while manipulating time, attacking from three different points in time: sending three strikes into the past, two strikes at her in the present, and five strikes into the future at her.

Noticing how Paradox is attacking, Norika activates her [Omni-Watch] and imagines that all the attacks never happened, leaving Paradox standing there, back as he was before he swung his scythe.

Paradox decides that the weapon will not help in this battle since she can just negate the existence erasure, which is the premise of the [Omni Scythe].

Paradox goes in, throwing a few punches at her, and she does the same. As they clash fists, the universe shakes and rumbles from the power of their clashes.

Paradox increases their speed, moving so fast that not even time registers their movement, appearing in front of Norika and launching thirty punches all over her body. By the time she notices what happened, she is sent crashing through the forest, through multiple trees, making her spit out blood.

Norika, while flying, wipes some blood from her mouth and uses it to send a ball of her blood at Paradox, faster than he can see, but he reacts in time by jumping away.

Little did Paradox know that escaping would not help him, as Norika said one word: “Boom.” The ball of blood exploded, and some of it landed on Paradox, but not before he activated his [Omni-Watch].

The only thing you see is Paradox’s existence being erased by her attack, which was infused with Omnicore, enabling her to kill him.

Speaking to no one but herself, Norika says, “My blood in this form has the special effect of erasing someone's existence forever.”

All you hear next is laughing, and the owner of it is Paradox as he fazes back into existence in his [Omnipotent Form], much to Norika's shock.

“I thought you knew all about me, Norika, my daughter. Just as Omnicore is my weakness, I can get rid of it anytime I want. It was technically me who made it during my training, so it only makes sense I can get rid of it, right” Paradox states, indicating that he is now not affected by Omnicore.

Paradox charges at Norika, throwing a barrage of punches at her as she clashes with him, going blow for blow.

As they strike each other, you notice that Norika is not doing any damage and is holding her own, while Paradox is dealing quite a bit of damage to her, which is instantly healed the moment it happens.

“Why don’t we end this fight, Norika? I know you hate me, but what is the point of fighting me? Why don’t you just stay here and stop my plan of letting myself be killed?” Paradox tries to bargain with her, seeing that if they continue to fight, neither will win.

Norika thinks about it, and logically that would be the best option. She never thought about it because she is very impulsive and acts without thinking much.

“Alright, fine. I'll stay here and I will find out when and how you die, and I will stop it,” she says before adding, “But don’t think I forgive you. That will take a long time.”

With that said, she turns back to the burned-down house, snapping her fingers to restore it and make it fireproof before returning to her original form, while Paradox returns to his [Half-Omnipotent] Form.

Paradox gives a sigh of relief that she was pretty reasonable before going inside the house, with Norika following close behind.

From the air, you could see Eve floating high in the sky, having watched and heard everything.

She decides to go inside and confront Paradox about a few things, namely about his supposed death, and to give her mind to Norika for attacking her brother.

Once Eve walks inside the house, Norika sees her and is confused since she has never seen or heard of her.

“Who are you?” she asks, confused by this little girl's appearance.

“I am Eve, Paradox’s little sister,” Eve states with her chest puffed out.

That brought a pause to Norika, as the Eve she knew about from the future wanted to kill her father for reasons. This leads her to one conclusion: either she or her father messed with the balance of the past and future.

This situation normally never happens since both of them can go back and forth through time without disrupting the balance as long as they use their [Omni-Watch].

She just gives a sigh and accepts that Eve at this point in time is her father's surrogate sister and aunt, no matter how weird it feels.

She holds out her hand for a shake, which Eve reciprocates. However, by doing so, Eve covers her hands with her psychic energy, creating her gloves once again, and gives a very tight handshake. The gloves are strong enough to break through Norika’s defense and almost break her hand, which instantly heals.

Norika looks back at Paradox, who just shrugs as he does not know how those gloves could be so strong, even though he does not want to get punched by them.

After the fight, Paradox once again gave himself the weakness to Omnicore so that he would once again have a weakness.

Norika stays at the house, which Paradox renovates again, giving it a third room for Norika. The house is now two stories tall.

Weeks have gone by since Norika moved in, and in that time, she and Eve have bonded quite a bit, with Norika learning all about Eve’s hero job and stating that if she is ever in danger call her.

They both go shopping, and Norika helps Eve pick out some really good outfits. Norika also starts training Eve, teaching her how to use a sword and helping her create a psychic sword.

In the end, the two become like sisters. Also, during the week, Eve encounters Soundwave, and the battle does not go well, as she returns battered and bruised, bleeding profusely.

Paradox and Norika learn that Soundwave has a gizmo that nullifies her psychic powers and slows her down, all with the power of sound.

That same day, both Paradox and Norika begin training Eve in the alternate dimension from before now dubbed simply the [Training Dimension], teaching her how to fight even without powers. Since she is quite a fast learner, it does not take long for her to get over her weakness.

While training to fight without using her powers, she learns how to create clones made out of pure energy and has them train by picking up 100 of the 10-ton metal rods with their telekinesis.

This training takes about one and a half months to complete, as the clones manage to finally pick up the metal rods with ease. But the first part she finishes within five days, being able to fight even with her powers sealed.

Once the training is finished, Eve, Norika, and Paradox all return home, wash up, and head to bed, thinking about what to do the next day. But for Eve, she groans, knowing she has school the next day.
