Chapter 52 – It rejects the premise
Chapter 52 – It rejects the premise
█████████████ : “This lowly one will begin with a premise: Evil is Divine. Evil can create something from nothing, and therefore Evil should be valued with the same reverence that Good is. If Evil causes Overall Harm from the reference of Good, then so too does Good cause Overall Harm from the reference of Evil. Thus, Good and Evil—though diametric in Nature—should both be weighted equally when it comes to Divinity.
█████████████ : “Good is Divine, for it can create something from nothing. It can create joy, love, comfort, happiness, enlightenment, and so on, at no cost. Yet what of sorrow, hatred, pain, depression, and ignorance? Does Good not cause Overall Harm to these important facets of existence in return? Does Good not detract from Creation by removing its counterparts from the Overall?
█████████████ : “Thus, Evil is no different than Good. Evil is Divine, for it can create something from nothing. It can create sorrow, hatred, pain, depression, ignorance, and so on, at no cost. Evil detracts from Good, yes, but it also adds to Creation and enriches the Overall with experiences and emotions that Good by itself cannot alone Create. Thus, Good and Evil must necessarily be equal in all considerations. And since they are equal in their Divinity, then The Great Dream is perhaps the single most Harmful Term in all of Creation, for it brings Overall Harm to all that which is Evil.
█████████████ : “Further, since the proportion of Evil throughout the myriad realms is greater than that of Good, and since Good and Evil are otherwise equal, then that which brings Overall Harm to Evil brings Overall Harm to the majority of Creation. Thus, The Great Dream cannot be allowed.”
“It rejects the premise. It has no need to listen further.”
█████████████ : “Good removes Evil; this detracts from Creation. Happiness removes sorrow; this detracts from Creation. Love removes hatred; this detracts from Creation. The Ultimate Truth cannot reject the premise.”
“It posits: were all things equal, sophistry and reality would also be equal. It reinforces: the weight of a Word does not equal the weight of Existence. Sophistry does not alter the True Value of something, no matter how eloquent the reduction.”
█████████████ : “The Ultimate Truth avoids the argument with digression. This lowly one’s premise stands strong.”
“It will elaborate. Evil is the antithesis of Divinity: Evil does not Create something from nothing; Evil removes from the Overall until nothing remains. A Cycle of Evil culminates with nothing, for Evil only takes but does not replenish.
“It will address █████████████’s claims:
“It does not reject Evil. Evil adds variety to Creation, and beings of Evil have equal right to exist. But Evil is not equal to Good. It elaborates: Good can be Created without Evil, but Evil cannot exist without Good. Evil subsists off of Good; without Good, Evil is nothing.
“It continues: the Creation of Good does not remove from Evil; Good provides the quanta from which Evil consumes to enrich personal Benefit at the Harm of the Overall. Evil cannot Create, thus Evil is reliant on Good to exist.
“It provides evidence: Warmth. Good can Create Warmth, but Evil cannot Create Cold. Coldness is the absence of Warmth, and absence cannot be Created. It elaborates: while Evil can remove Warmth to effect Coldness, that is the absence of Good rather than the Creation of Evil. Were Warmth fully absent from Creation, there would be nothing for Evil to take. True Coldness cannot be taken, for True Coldness is nothing. Were Good fully absent from Creation, there would be nothing for Evil to take, for the Pinnacle of Evil is nothing Forever. Nothing cannot be taken, and Evil cannot Create. The Pinnacle of Evil marks the end of Creation.
“Need It continue?”
█████████████ : "..."
“Then, It concludes: It refuses the premise for the premise is flawed at the core.
“Evil is not Divine. The Ask of Evil always outweighs the Price that Evil pays. Evil is not Just. Evil takes from Creation more than Evil returns, for Evil is a Concept of absence and Harm. That which reduces something to nothing is not Divine. That which removes from Creation is not Divine. That which seeks to profit is not Divine. That which causes Overall Harm is not Divine. That which does not Create is not Divine.
“What It Wants is simply to reach the Pinnacle of Divinity with It's Wife—to Create Overall Benefit Forever. Do any other petitioners Object to It's Ceremony of Marriage?”
All: “...”
“Lulu, continue.”
🖤███ : “It would be my greatest honour, Retribution.”
Amy: "...Thia, holy cow... You were so fierce.”
“It accepts the premise. Continue.”
Amy: “Squee.”
“Amy's soul is properly housed and radiant.”

🖤███ : “We have talked at great lengths about the beauty of Eternal Union and all that The Great Dream entails, so I needn't drone on; there is nothing more to say that hasn't been said already. All in attendance know the Price that is being offered—our beautiful brides, even more so. And what a wonderful dream that is.
🖤███ : “So, without further ado, I would like to invite the ring bearer and the father of the brides to the altar. Please perform the hand off for the Rings Eternal. The exchange of Vows will follow.”
