After Paradox vanishes, they use their Omni-Watch to create a different dimension of infinite space and size. This space allows them to train, but not ordinary training; a day in the outside world equals one hundred years in this world.
Additionally, this area is a desolate, abandoned wasteland with destroyed buildings and rubble scattered everywhere, as if war and constant fighting have occurred.
Paradox has created multiple beings who inhabit this world, acting as guardians they must fight. These beings launch attacks faster than the speed of light and can react to any form of attack but are easily taken down with one hit due to their terrible defensive capabilities.
Paradox has dubbed this dimension the “Hyper Dimension,” signifying the speed at which time passes inside it.
Paradox lands on top of the highest building, which looks as if it is about to fall and crumble at any given second. Before they can think, a beam of light comes at them, and they barely dodge it, with it scraping their cheek, causing it to bleed a little.
One restriction Paradox put on themselves is that they cannot use their Omni-Watch in this dimension. They have to use their natural strength and skills to train and defeat these creatures.
Paradox pulls out their [Omni Scythe] and jumps off the six-story building into the center of the creatures, who are all shooting beams of light at them.
They manage to deflect most of the beams, but some get through their defenses and hit them, injuring them. However, Paradox knows they cannot let this stop them and that they must become stronger so that no one can ever defeat them.
With that resolve, Paradox runs in, cutting multiple creatures in half with their scythe. Some of the more combat-oriented creatures charge at them with blades and fists, moving at speeds faster than Paradox can react to. Paradox gets cut all over by multiple blades and is launched into a building by one of the creatures' fists.
They struggle to stand up, with blood pouring out of their body and some from their mouth. Yet, they charge back into the fray, recklessly cutting down everything in their way while learning and anticipating the creatures' attacks and patterns.
Paradox continues this training for weeks in this dimension, and soon ten years have gone by.
It seems as if there is no end to the number of creatures here; they have cut down approximately ten million of them, with billions more remaining. But they have gotten better with their scythe and in fighting these creatures, which they call “Eien no Owari,” meaning Eternal End, as if you get stuck here, no normal being would survive this never-ending horde of monsters.
Time Skip: 30 Years
Paradox has spent a total of forty years inside the “Hyper Dimension” training.
The scene cuts to Paradox who, with one swing of their scythe, cuts a whole city in half and destroys multiple ENO, which is what they call them for short, disintegrating their bodies.
Paradox floats in the air, looking satisfied with their handiwork. They move at a speed that exceeds the speed of light and instantly cut around ten thousand ENO in half, causing them to disappear in a mist of darkness.
At some point in their training, Paradox reached a new level of power where the ENO no longer posed a challenge to them. Using their Omni-Watch, they boosted the ENO’s power and speed by twenty times.
With this new increase in power, the ENO charge at Paradox at such great speeds that they warp space, appearing right in front of Paradox. Some launch a barrage of fists, and others shoot beams of light at point-blank range, launching Paradox ten meters away into multiple buildings. They stand up as if nothing happened, dusting themselves off.
With a grin, Paradox launches themselves, moving so fast they go through time itself, seeing everything at a standstill. They look amazed, then regain focus and cut all of the ENO in half vertically. As Paradox comes to a stop, they realize they moved through time.
A few weeks go by, and Paradox begins to master that speed, trying to move so fast they can go through time at will. After some rough training and many weeks, they master it.
Time Skip: 20 Years Later
Throughout all of the training, the only thing on Paradox’s mind is how much they want to destroy Huracan and prove themselves as the strongest being.
While Paradox is training, they gain a new attack that they did not learn. The only probable reason is that Yami Paradox is the one who learned it, and the link between them makes it so that if one learns something or gains something, the other will as well.
Paradox outstretches their hand, focusing energy and power into it. When they release it at the horde of ENO, the energy beam splits into hundreds of beams, leaving massive craters in the ground and causing multiple buildings to fall and crumble.
As Paradox continues training, a few weeks go by, and they feel a sudden shift and change inside their body as if a new power is being unleashed. They let it all out, and their body undergoes a transformation.
Paradox’s skin turns from light brown to white, looking as if it is made of light while retaining the black markings that cover parts of their body. They also gain something new: a red and black crown on their head made of red and black light.
Snapping their fingers, they create a mirror to look at themselves, admiring the new look. Before holding out their hand and punching the ground underneath them, causing a massive shockwave that makes the whole dimension shake and shift.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
With a smirk, Paradox believes that with this new form and power, they are on their way to becoming the strongest being in existence. But there is one thing to test, so they once again increase the power of the ENO, this time by one hundred times, and let them all launch their attacks at them. To their surprise and glee, the attacks that would normally harm them have no effect.
With a wave of their hand, Paradox channels energy into their hand, sending out a pulse that causes all of the ENO to explode, killing fifty billion of them.
“So this is my new power. If I were to master this, I would become the strongest being to ever exist, and nothing would be able to harm me...” Paradox does not get a chance to continue as they are bombarded by multiple attacks ranging from beams of light, balls of fire as hot as the sun, and giant meteors. Paradox does not seem fazed, only seeing it as a chance to test their new power.
With a thrust of their hand forward, they create a massive shockwave that instantly destroys and evaporates the attacks, leaving nothing behind. However, the backlash of the punch destroys Paradox's arm as they are not able to control that level of power.
The wound instantly heals as if nothing happened, showing that not only has their power increased, but their regeneration ability has increased as well.
Before they can react, a giant creature taller than Orion, Zane, and Clea, standing at two thousand meters tall, appears. It looks like a mix of an ogre and a dragon hybrid. It has some traits of the ENO as well, so Paradox calls it the King ENO, the strongest being to exist in the “Hyper Dimension.”
The King ENO launches a punch, and Paradox, thinking that something that tall must be slow but powerful, gets a rude awakening as the King ENO’s fist appears in front of them, hovering over their entire body due to its massive size.
The punch launches Paradox through hundreds of buildings. To their surprise, Paradox finds out that the attack actually harmed them, and in this form, nothing should be able to harm them.
Something crosses their mind, and Paradox recalls that after they achieved this form and right before the King ENO appeared, they believed it would get boring if they could not be injured, and wished they had a weakness. This King ENO must have been created from that wish, that thought which has given birth to it.
Upon taking a closer look at it, Paradox uses their power to see inside the King ENO. In its blood flow and veins, they see some kind of purple liquid. Paradox believes this must be the cause of how it can harm them. So Paradox dubs this purple substance Omnicore, the only way to harm them in their [Omnipotent Form], which they have dubbed this new form they have taken.
Timeskip: 40 Years - 100 Years Have Passed
Within the last one hundred years, Paradox has retained their appearance, still looking twenty years old, as if no time has passed at all.
Paradox spent these last forty years fighting the King ENO in a hard-fought battle, being on the verge of death multiple times, testing the limits and effects of the Omnicore on them. In the end, Paradox found out that it not only weakens their power but also slows their regenerative abilities, on top of being the only thing that can kill or harm them.
–Flashback–
Paradox dodges the attacks of the King ENO, but the pressure of the attack still hits them, sending them flying away. Paradox is able to regain their balance and deliver an attack with their [Uni Gloves], making the King ENO stagger back but not doing nearly as much damage as they had hoped.
The King ENO opens its mouth, firing off multiple purple beams of light at Paradox. They use their [Omni Scythe] to cut them in half, but the force of the attacks leaves their arms numb, almost making them drop their scythe. However, they manage to hold on to it.
Paradox swung their scythe in their signature manner, cutting through time and space to send a crescent beam of energy at the King ENO. The attack successfully severed the King ENO’s arm, but to Paradox’s shock, the arm instantly regenerated. Realizing this battle would be prolonged, Paradox grinned, relishing the challenge.
Charging in, Paradox moved so quickly that it seemed as if they were warping around, appearing in multiple places at once.
However, the King ENO could still perceive them, firing a beam that Paradox narrowly dodged.
The beam struck the ground with such force that the entire dimension began to tremble and crumble, yet the King ENO remained focused on its adversary. Stepping forward, it delivered a devastating knee, sending Paradox flying into the sun.
Landing on the sun, Paradox found the heat invigorating rather than harmful. They sat for a moment, contemplating their next move.
"Hmm, I cut off its arm, but it grew back. My scythe should affect all concepts no matter what, so either it's a concept above me or, in this space, the term ‘concept’ does not exist and everything is on equal levels," Paradox mused.
Standing up, Paradox leaped back to the King ENO with incredible force, their fist enveloped in energy as hot as the sun. They punched the King ENO, sending it flying twenty feet.
The King ENO dug its feet into the ground, stopping itself. A serious bruise remained on its chest, leading Paradox to believe that heat was its weakness. They created a miniature sun, the size of a large building, and kicked it at the King ENO. The King ENO teleported ten meters away, smirking, but the heat ball returned from behind, disintegrating it.
Paradox was about to power down, thinking the fight was over, when the King ENO reappeared, now only ten feet tall but with its power increased by fifty times. "W-what? I just killed you," Paradox stammered, unable to believe it.
"Yes, you did kill me, but all you did was speed up my growth. Each time I am killed, I come back stronger. As for my size, I can change it at will," the King ENO said, amused by Paradox’s confusion.
The King ENO drew a blade that was as black as night but shone brightly. It moved so fast that Paradox barely had time to react, an impossibility considering their [Omnipotent Form].
Instead of using their [Omni Scythe], Paradox pulled out their [Chrono Sword]. As their blades clashed, they appeared everywhere, their shockwaves destroying multiple buildings.
"You are quite skilled with a blade. I commend you, but that will not be enough to win this fight," the King ENO taunted, swinging its blade in an arc aimed at Paradox's head.
Paradox smirked, imagining the attack passing through them. They countered, using the [Chrono Sword]’s ability to control time, slowing it to a standstill and delivering a flurry of cuts to the King ENO. When time resumed, Paradox was shocked to see that the King ENO had dodged the attack.
"How? I froze time; you shouldn't have been able to dodge!" Paradox yelled, frustrated.
"Time means nothing to me in this space. Time is under my command. Did you really think you could defeat me like that?" the King ENO laughed.
Their battle raged on for weeks, turning into years. Forty years later, Paradox finally claimed victory over the King ENO, only slightly out of breath, their near-infinite stamina barely tested.

After defeating the King ENO, Paradox returned to Paradox Earth to rest and take a long break from fighting.
