Chapter 41 - When a 'Bug' met the one beyond all laws

PROTO-EXIST vs. OUTER GOD

Error Meets the One Beyond All Laws

This is no ordinary fight.

There are no attacks. No moves.

What collides are two mutually exclusive modes of existence.

---

A Brief Definition of the Fighting Parties

PROTO-EXIST

Origin: First Cosmic Error

Status: Conscious Possibility

Tier: -1½ (between the Prime Monad and Existence)

Primary Properties:

Has no cause

Unrecorded by the Great Clock

Exists because it is impossible not to exist

He is "the 1 that almost came into being."

---

OUTER GOD

Origin: Beyond the Great Clock

Status: Entity alien to the fabric of reality

Tier: 0⁺ (Conscious Nothingness)

Main Traits:

Does not obey the laws of the Great Clock

Exists as a stable paradox

Its existence destroys meaning

It is the "0 that rejects boundaries."

---

Meeting Ground

This place has no name.

Not space.

Not time.

The zodiacs call it:

> The Chimeless Gap

Here:

The Great Clock does not tick

The laws only whisper

Truth is not absolute

---

First Clash (No Contact)

When they "realize" each other:

Outer God tries to obscure

Proto-Exist tries to assert

Result:

Reality is not destroyed

Reality doubts its necessity

📌 Stars do not die.

📌 They rethink to shining.

---

Why Outer God Can't Win

Outer God destroys the world with:

Chaos

Unintelligibility

Rejection of meaning

But Proto-Exist has no meaning to destroy.

> It doesn't "exist,"

so it can't be "eliminated."

Outer God tries to return it to 0.

But Proto-Exist was never at 0.

---

Why Proto-Exist Can't Win

Proto-Exist doesn't attack.

It presents possibility.

But Outer God:

Doesn't need possibility

Doesn't evolve

Doesn't change

Outer God is complete nothingness.

Proto-Exist can't "defeat"

something that isn't moving toward anything.

---

Critical Phase: The Paradox of Reciprocity

When both persist long enough:

Proto-Exist begins to pull Outer God toward definition

Outer God begins to drag Proto-Exist toward extinction

Result:

> Both weaken the surrounding reality, not each other.

The Great Clock:

Cannot interfere

Cannot record

Cannot repair

This is a cosmic blind zone.

---

Final Result (World Canon)

❖ No winners

❖ No losers

What happens is:

MUTUAL SEAL

Both are locked in a state:

Cannot advance

Cannot retreat

Cannot complete

The gap where they meet becomes:

> The source of all extreme anomalies – forbidden magic

– a soulless being

– a failed destiny

---

Ultimate Truth

> Outer God is a threat to the world.

Proto-Exist is a threat to the meaning of the world.

If the Outer Gods win, the world is destroyed.

If Proto-Exist wins, the world is no longer needed.
