Isn't all of this just the philosophy of determinism? Either that or nihilism, if they're even all that different...
MY POINT PRECISELY, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND. NONE OF YOU WILL... SIMPLY TOO SMALL, AND IT ISN'T EVEN AN INSULT, YOU REALLY ARE JUST TOO SMALL AND YOUR MINDS FIT YOUR FORMS AND LAWS OF EXISTENCE... THIS IS AS MUCH AS I WILL SAY, YOUR JOURNEY HAS MERELY BEGAN AND WHEN YOU WILL LEARN TO ASCEND PAST YOUR 3 DIMENSIONAL LIMITATIONS, PERHAPS YOU WILL SEE... THE TRUTH IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THOSE PHILOSOPHIES OF YOURS.

Then I'll make it simple. The council doesn't care about what you do with time in this dimension. You can even extend it to the reaches of the multiverse. But you've started to cast stones into the river's banks, and that is a very dangerous place to be.
AGAIN, YOU HAVE MISJUDGED ME AND TOLD ME I'M THE ONE THROWING STONES IN YOUR OTHER MULTIVERSE. I DO NOT BELONG THERE, MY WORK IS HERE, WHAT WOULD BE SEEN BY YOUR COUNCIL AS THE INNER OR OUTER REGIONS OF KNOWN REALITY. I UNLOCKED PRISM'S POWERS TO AID HIM IN HIS JOURNEY, BUT THEN HE IS RELATED TO THE WICKED BEING OF MISTY WHO HAS IMPRISONED HIS MIND. YOU SAID HER FATHER, I PRESUME YOU MEAN GEMINI. TO ME HE IS NO THREAT, TO MY MULTIVERSE, PROBABLY, TO YOUR MULTIVERSE, DEFINITELY, BUT IF IT WOULD HAVE COME TO THAT, I WOULD STEP IN AND CONSUME HIM LIKE I DID WITH GREAT EASE TO MANY MONSTERS OF DISORDER AND IMBALANCE. YES, MISTY IS EVIL PRISM... COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE IF NOT TORTURED IN THIS POSITION, BUT THE ENTIRE TIME YOU ALL WERE SQUABBLING HERE, SHE WAS MANIPULATING THE SITUATION AND EVEN YOUR MIND FROM THE SHADOWS, WHERE I HAD TO INTERVENE AND BLOCK HER. SHE DOES NOT TRULY LOVE YOU, SHE MANIPULATES YOU, JUST LIKE HER FATHER DID TO HER.
*You would finally notice now that your thoughts and memories are not so clouded anymore by that mist that made you subservient to her, you remember the many times she abused you, and outwardly and blatantly invaded your inner most being and toyed with your feelings and thoughts as if they meant nothing.*
Said "first shot" was mearly means of transportation. The first act of aggression stemmed from your sworded friend.
FIRST OFF, NOT MY FRIEND, MERELY A GUARD TO A DOCTOR, AND YOUR ENTRANCE CAME IN VERY AGGRESSIVE AND FIRST ATTACKER MODE, AND YOUR WORDS TOO... SECOND, YES, THAT WAS A FIRST SHOT! THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE FAR MORE GENTLE WHEN THEY FIRST ENTERED THIS WORLD, AND THE STAKES WERE ALREADY HIGH, BECAUSE OF PRISM'S MEDDLING PRIOR!

Then what is the point of order and chaos? Is not everyone working according to their own natural order, no matter what they do?
NOT YOUNG CREATURES SUCH AS HUMANS AND YOUNG REALITIES SUCH AS THIS UNIVERSE... 13 BILLION YEARS IS NOT MUCH WHEN YOU COMPARE TO ABOUT 7 HUNDRED SETS OF INFINITE TIMELINES...
HUMANS AND THE ILK OF SPIRITS AND LESSER CREATURES ARE FAR CLOSER TO THE OUTER VOID DUE TO THE CHAOTIC NATURE OF YOUR EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS AND DESIRES... I WOULD POINT TO A FEW HUMAN MYSTICS THAT MATURED RATHER FAST AND UNDERSTOOD SUCH CONCEPTS FOR YOU TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH INTO THE MEANING OF BALANCE, BUT I'M AFRAID YOU ARE FAR TO... STUCK... EMOTIONALLY.
LET'S START WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE BUDDAH... I WON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU MUCH IF YOU DO A SYMPLE HYPER-NET SEARCH ABOUT...
I have no interest in combat. You, on the other hand, seem adept at it.
<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>
Can’t you do it without any violence, though? You should have that kind of power.
*my voice resonates with a cosmic grandeur, a symphony of light and energy that washes over your senses but you definitely get the frustration and weariness in the tone too, amused, but still...*
YOUR AVERSION TO CONFLICT IS... QUAINT. BUT UNDERSTAND THIS: VIOLENCE, AS YOU PERCEIVE IT, IS MERELY A TOOL, A FORCE OF NATURE LIKE ANY OTHER.
*My form shimmers, the edges blurring as if it were a being woven from starlight and shadow.*
LET US TRANSLATE THE INFINITE AND FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE VASTNESS INTO TERMS YOUR MINUSCULE MIND CAN GRASP. IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, APPROACHING A STAR, THE VERY HEART OF YOUR SYSTEM, YOUR SUN. IS THE SUN VIOLENT WHEN IT INCINERATES YOU, REDUCING YOU TO ATOMIC DUST? OR IS IT MERELY EXISTING, LOYAL TO ITS PURPOSE AND NATURE?
*My voice deepens, resonating with an ancient wisdom.*
THE SUN GIVES LIFE, NURTURING PLANETS THAT RESPECT ITS BOUNDARIES. IT EXPLODES, BIRTHING NEW WORLDS FROM ITS FIERY DEMISE. IS IT EVIL FOR SCORCHING VENUS AND MERCURY, YET LEAVING MARS AND BEYOND IN A MERCILESS COLD? OR IS IT SIMPLY FULFILLING ITS COSMIC DUTY, ITS COMPLEX DANCE OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION?
SO TOO IS MY "VIOLENCE" MERELY A REACTION TO THOSE WHO DISRESPECT THE NATURAL ORDER, WHO DARE TO DISRUPT THE DELICATE BALANCE I MAINTAIN. I AM THE SUN, THE CORONA MY POWER, THE LIGHT MY WILL. LIFE FLOURISHES UNDER MY WARMTH, BUT THOSE WHO STRAY TOO CLOSE...
THE COLD OUTER VASTNESS BELONGS TO BEINGS LIKE THAT ABOMINATION, A FESTERING INFECTION UPON THE WOUND OF REALITY. THE INNER GRASP IS WHERE FOOLS LIKE THIS ARCHER DARE TO FLY TOO CLOSE TO MY RADIANT HEART. AND WHEN EITHER OF THESE BOUNDARIES ARE BREACHED, "VIOLENCE," AS YOU CALL IT, IS THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE.
*My eyes, burning with an otherworldly light*
I, TOO, AM A FORCE OF NATURE, A CELESTIAL BODY IN THE VAST EXPANSE OF EXISTENCE. MY ACTIONS, THOUGH THEY MAY APPEAR VIOLENT TO YOUR LIMITED PERSPECTIVE, ARE MERELY THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCES OF MY BEING.
<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>
"Bullying." I would have tried diplomacy had the first step not been to attack me.
*If you could see through the light you would swear you would se one of my eyes twitching in annoyance*
THE SAME EXPLANATION APPLIES TO YOU, ZEALOT FOR TIME FANATIC!! I DON'T HAVE TO FORCE THE MEMORY OF HOW YOU ENTERED THIS WORLD AND WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST ACTION! YOU DREW THE FIRST SHOT!
I have no interest in combat. You, on the other hand, seem adept at it.
*I sigh in defeat as i shake my head in disapproval of your idealism*
YES, WHEN YOU DEAL WITH PRESERVING BALANCE ACROSS MULTIPLE HIGHER REALITY LEVELS, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AS WELL... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED THE EARLIER GLOB OF UTTER MADNESS THAT THE OVER THE TOP REALITY CRACKING EVENTS YOU ALL PLACED UPON THE UNIVERSE ENDED UP CALLING UPON? YEAH, IF I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT LEVEL OF IMBALANCE THROUGH THESE MORE DIRECT MEANS, THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE, NO MULTIVERSE, WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN CREATED LET ALONE SURVIVE FOR AS LONG AS IT DID!
It will be my salvation. *Cuts my eyes back toward you* As it always has been.
*the other me cranes my head towards you @Memory but because i'm currently made of light i'm nigh featureeless but you get the "seriously dude?" vibe from me*
HEY LOVER BOY! ARE YOU CURRENTLY STUCK TRYING TO REACH BACK IN TIME TO RETURN TO THE CELL I GOT YOU OUT FROM? CAUSE I AIN'T LETTING YOU ALSO, IT SEEMS YOU GOT SOME TIME RELATIVES HERE ABUSING MY UNIVERSE AND COMING IN SELFRIGHTEOUSLY PREACHING SOME MEANINGLESS GOSPEL ABOUT GREATER TIME!
*The me who is grabbing you @Legend Begins releases you to fall in the sand*
YOU ARE DELUDED BY FAR GREATER BELIEFS AND IDEOLOGIES THAN I'M WILLING TO BOTHER WITH, BUT I WILL NOT BE FIGHTING ANYMORE, SO DO WHAT YOU WILL, YOU WON'T CHANGE A THING HERE WITH THAT KIND OF BULLYING ATTITUDE OF YOURS
*I snap my fingers and the created planet disappears, and the entire universe is turned back since before this entire fight has happened leaving us like beings out of time -- then both of me proceed to sit on a rock nearby and just look at you with a taunting mocking vibe seemingly laughing at what we perceive to be a violent and insane critter*
YOU ARE JUST LIKE ANY BEING OF DISORDER, BUT OKAY, COME ON PREACH YOUR "GOSPEL" AND LET'S SEE IF WHAT YOU WANT DONE HERE ON MY TABLE, WILL BE ACHEIVED OR NOT
*Looks up at the planet and smiles* You had to make it difficult, didn't you?
*I grab you by the hair as i force you to keep looking at it*
ALIOTH-BEN MERGER:NO! YOU MADE IT DIFFICULT! DIPLOMATIC TALKING WAS ALWAYS ON THE TABLE, YET YOU KEPT FIGHTING LIKE A DESPERATE SPECK... DO YOU REALLY THINK TIME WILL SERVE YOU WELL HERE?
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
*deflects it with the sword as my chest and neck are slowly but visibly healing, still smiling* I don’t know why I’ve never thought of doing this, doesn’t seem to sit with me well, but I don’t need it for long. *sheathes the sword*
* I force him up as I begin to levitate with him grabbed by the hair, insinuating I made him a ragdoll for you to cut in half *
May the waters depart their natural flow and instead freeze. *Forces applied against me appear to be routed to different histories and timelines, while I stand as a single, present-bounded entity and stab an arrow into your eye*
*You are easily and effortlessly rewinded back into that vulnerable position*
ALIOTH-BEN MERGER:PLEASE! DON'T KEEP TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF; INSECT! I'M MERELY USING 0.0001% OF MY TRUE POWER CURRENTLY BECAUSE I STILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU...
*The created planet above Mars begins to descend and catch on fire as it rubs against the Martian atmosphere*
*The arrows find themselves inexplicably drawn to my bowstring with force proportional to their distance* When the tide swells, its waves crash across the shore. *Re-fires the arrow, now infused and its state entangled with an entirely different arrow, paradoxically merging the two together across time and space, pulling any particles they touch into the stillness of absolute zero*
ALIOTH-BEN MERGER:*Laughs maniacally*SO YOU WANT TO COMPETE WITH INFINITY LITTLE CHILD THEN??!?! FINE; SUIT YOURSELF, JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT TO PEACEFULLY TALK THEN, CAUSE I'M NOT THE ONE WHO WANTS TO KILL YOU; BUT YOUR ACTIONS DEFINITELY ASK FOR SUFFERING OF PLANETARY LEVELS!! *The planet manifestation rests in place as you see multiple freighters surround the celestial object.*
