Paradox: A seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well-founded or true.
The definition was neither frightening nor threatening. That was only true when it concerned ordinary phenomenons that didn't threaten the very existence.
The paradox Cosmic Emperor created didn't fit this criterion. Because it actually put the entire plane of existence in danger!
And how could it not?!
He had influenced spacetime!
In every plane of existence, time served the role of providing direction. What was considered as past, present, and future were just relative directions depending on the position in space.
And there was a catch. Time could only move forward!
Thinking logically, that made sense as moving backward would result in contradictions and consistency issues.
It would result in what we consider as a paradox.
Did it sound frightening? Not yet.
