"Even if the level far surpasses my knowledge, you should at least be able to use a metaphor to let me know what on earth it is, right?" Gonasos knew that he was powerless to change the situation, but at the very least, he was willing to obtain more information before his rebirth.
However, to his surprise, the little boy shook his head and said, "You humans, or rather all the living creatures in this universe, do you know what the basis of your existence is?"
"Atoms? Molecules? Quarks? Time? Space? Matter? " Gonasos asked one by one but realized that all of them shook their heads. "Then what do you think it is?"
The little boy replied, "Atoms, molecules, and quarks can all be replaced. Time, space, and matter can be freely changed and distorted. Different regions naturally have different laws. Based on what you said, they all have different foundations."
"Shouldn't that be the case?" As Gonasos chatted with the boy, his stubborn side in scientific research and cultivation surfaced. He continued to ask, "Even if they are parallel universes, there will be differences in the laws between different universes. Different constants, different zeros, and different units will create different worlds. Their foundations will naturally be different as well."
The boy smiled. "But this gives rise to the concept of infinity. As long as numbers, formulas, and units exist, as long as our world still follows logic, then there will be so-called infinity. There will be an infinity that we will never be able to reach.
"Regardless of the size of the universe, the number of worlds, the strength of power, or the amount of knowledge, all of them can be limitless.
"Then we will never be able to reach the state of omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence."
"What's wrong with that?" Gonasos said, "The world is like this to begin with. If someone really reaches the state of limitlessness, then that person will definitely be illogical.
"Omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence is a self-contradictory description to begin with."
"That's right. With such a description, one can easily ask several tens of self-contradictory questions." The little boy smiled.
"Hold on." Looking at the little boy's smile, the few accents in the boy's earlier words flashed in his mind. Gonasos suddenly said, "Logic. You're trying to say that the foundation of all things in the world lies in logic?"
"Your reaction is faster than I expected." The little boy nodded and said with a smile, "No matter what kind of law or axiom it is, the world's operation and the existence of living creatures must be logical.
Birds fly with their wings, fish swim with their fins and tails, and tigers run with their limbs.
Water flows downwards, and the places that are exposed to the sun become warmer. 1 + 1 equals 2.
These were logic. They could change their appearance with the change of the laws. Birds could fly with their jets, and fish could swim with their thoughts.
But they had to be logical. For example, birds could fly without any force, and fish could swim in the river of time with ordinary fins. This was illogical.
But that's not enough. This is just one of their behaviors that is illogical. Their shapes, concepts, and most of their bodies are still logical … "
"Illogical …" Gonasos looked deeply at the little boy and said, "But it's already very difficult to achieve the two points you mentioned … No, this is impossible. Even if it's an individual action, you can be illogical in certain aspects, but the action itself can't be completely illogical. This is equivalent to going against the laws of the entire universe."
That was right. Some lunatics were seen as illogical, but their actions and existences were still in accordance with the universe's logic. Their actions merely did not conform to the logic of most people, but they did conform to the logic of lunatics in their minds.
However, what the boy was saying was a situation that did not conform to any logic.
"That's right. But omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence is a state that doesn't conform to logic," the boy said. "Therefore, in order to reach this state, one must go against logic.
Regardless of existence, actions, consciousness, or power, all of them must surpass logic.
"Then you now understand that it's impossible for you to understand …"
"That is indeed the case. If an object, let's call it an 'object' for now, if it is completely illogical and has no elements that conform to logic, then it is indeed incomprehensible to any living creature," Gonasos said. "But can such a creature really come into contact with us? If it's really illogical, then the moment it comes into contact with us, regardless of whether it's temperature, waves, collisions, or any other kind of contact, as long as it comes into contact with us, wouldn't it become a form that we can understand? "
"You're not used to it yet." The little boy shook his head. "It's illogical. It's meaningless for you to think about it using the method of cause and effect.
"Because it's illogical, it's impossible for you to understand it. However, it can still come into contact with you. This sounds illogical because its attributes are illogical.
"Life and death, existence and non-existence, good and bad — all of these logical concepts are meaningless to it because it's illogical to begin with.
There's no cause and effect, no past and no future. "
"But what's the point of something like this?" Gonasos hugged his head and felt that his entire worldview had been dealt a huge blow. It was because all of his thoughts were based on logic, deducing from A to B, but now, someone was telling him that the thing before him could be deduced from anything to anything.
He could understand this thing, but he could not understand or think because it was illogical. However, he still could not help but think, but he could not think of anything. It was because no matter what he thought of, all of his thoughts would be overthrown with the word illogical.
It could be everything that was possible or impossible. It could not be estimated, speculated, or understood. This feeling drove Gonasos crazy.
Finally, he thought of something and lifted his head. "Why? Why did it destroy the Titan Star?"
"I don't know." The little boy shook his head. "Although I created it, I'm still unable to understand it because I'm still using logic to think.
"However, it's a very good observation target. I really want to know if an object can be omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and reach the ultimate if it's truly illogical."
"Why are you telling me this? Are you here to kill me?"
"No, I'll never kill anyone." A yellow glow emitted from Glorious Catastrophe's eyes. "The ultimate is an illogical existence. Therefore, I believe that among the limitless things, there'll be one that becomes the ultimate in an illogical way.
"And we'll all lose our meaning after its birth." Saying this, he smiled. "One last question. What do you think the thing above should be called?"
After a moment of silence, Gonasos' gaze turned a little dim as he said, "Anti-logic race?"
