Empiroxus and Abstractil got along very well with Matharin and Conceptilum. As such, tasks were done very efficiently and Xenixel was more pleased than he had ever been in his life. However, the older pair can not help but start to wonder if Matharin was really as stable as she claimed. Matharin seemed to act as if she had destroyed half her mind trying to find as many solutions to her problems as possible. Matharin and Conceptilum’s lives as they were constantly in danger must have influenced Matharin to access as much knowledge as she needed to keep Conceptilum safe. Matharin’s suspected unstableness influenced the older pair to help the younger pair as much as they could—even if it meant going behind Xenixel’s back.

When enough resources were gathered, Xenixel had formally announced his decision to start up a new project. This project went by the name “Project Hellensoerensen” and the goal was to build an automaton with the potential to greatly exceed the strength of a SuperGod. Each CouncilGod had to hold a crystal made of an extremely rare variant of trosinium only found in a very distant remote bubble that would activate a portion of the automaton when needed. With two omniscient^3 entities in the Council, it seemed very feasible that the project would be able to be finished. In metatime, a prototype of Hellensoerensen was completed. This first version of the automaton could support the “addition” of the potences of six SuperGods. There were enough crystals of the trosinium variant to make activators for eleven SuperGods so the Council had more than enough trosinium to use Hellensoerensen at full power. However, an issue with that was that there were currently only five members of the Council. So, the Council was unable to activate Hellensoerensen at its maximum possible power even if they needed to. Xenixel figured that it was only best that they search for an entity to be a new member of the Council. So Xenixel yet again sent Empiroxus to search for what he needed. While Empiroxus was to search, Abstractil was to help prepare Conceptilum for an uplifting to omnipotence^3.

After Conceptilum's uplift and a reluctant acceptance from Xenixel, he and Matharin made the decision to create SuperGods to raise into the Council—not because they wanted more SuperGods to pressure into managing the Council and forcefully uplift (taxing their sanity) but to give some meaning to their existence and to allow new SuperGods to grow up in an environment that the pair never had the chance to grow up in. Xenixel's uneasiness of whether or not the creations would influence the stability of Beyond was eased when it was pointed out that perhaps yet another SuperGod gifted with the knowledge that Matharin and Xenixel shared may be born. So Conceptilum and Matharin used five Godverses to crafted into eggs that would incubate their creations. The first egg hatched into a SuperGod that would be named Paradoxus.

Matharin and Conceptilum had been given very strict orders from Xenixel on how Paradoxus was to be raised and what should be done regarding preventing potential imbalances of Beyond caused by the newly-created SuperGod running amuck. Paradoxus and his to-be-hatched siblings were to stay confined to a monocosm almost separate from the rest of Beyond until they were ready to become Council members, much to the disapproval of his parents and Abstractil. As Paradoxus grew, he began to resent Xenixel for preventing him to do anything interesting and distancing any close relationship with his parents. When Matharin and Conceptilum's second egg was close to hatching into the SuperGod to-be-named Logixel, Paradoxus was finally glad to have something new and interesting in his life.

Empiroxus would eventually return to Xenixel's Beyond bubble with an omnipotent^3 SuperGod alongside him. The SuperGod was called Peralitus and he was an entity very willing to be a subordinate to what he saw as a strong, powerful leader like Xenixel. Peralitus, while the newest member of the Council, was very ambitious and strived to be the second-in-command member of the Council. He grew very jealous of Matharin when he found out about her omniscience^3 and position in the Council. Peralitus wanted her position and if he were to find an opportunity to strip Matharin of her position, he would take it. However, he knew that it was not particularly likely that such a scenario was not likely to happen at the moment and decided to wait until anything in his favour happened.

In metatime, Logixel would hatch. Unlike Paradoxus, Logixel grew somewhat content with staying in his monocosm and listening to Xenixel's orders. Paradoxus, without realizing that Logixel had not lived long enough to know how bored one would grow while remaining in the monocosm, was furious that the younger Logixel was somewhat satisfied with staying in his designated monocosm with no freedom or entertainment. Logixel, now afraid of what Paradoxus might do to him if he said no, apologized to his older sibling and listened to his plans of going on an adventure. Like Paradoxus, Logixel was indeed interested in what lay beyond his monocosm though he was afraid of what his superiors would do if they were caught adventuring. When Paradoxus and Logixel finally escaped, the siblings were endowed with the knowledge of many wonders outside of their monocosm. They saw omniverses, and other monocosms, and the Creators and Destroyers that their parents had told them about whenever they had the chance to see them. The siblings have been told that Creators and Destroyers were the cogs essential for the balance of their home, whatever that meant. Curious about the nature of the gods below him, Logixel and Paradoxus came down to them. The beings, upon sensing an immediate and very dangerous threat to their monocosm, were very alarmed at the presence of the higher beings. Logixel, realizing that the gods were themselves entities and more afraid of him than he was of them, tried to help the stressed gods calm down. But when the Destroyer attempted to erase Logixel, Paradoxus swiftly erased the Destroyer much to the dismay of the newly empathetic Logixel. This led the two SuperGods to argue over whether or not Destroyer's erasure was necessary. Creator, realizing that they had full control over its monocosm, stopped retaliating and decided to continue creating more and more structures and lifeforms within the Godverses and omniverses en masse. They wanted their monocosm to be blooming with life and complexity and nothing was to ever be destroyed.

A version of the Eternal Legion benefited greatly from Creator's creation spree and would develop technology capable of erasing Creator. Led by a version of Hyperman that would never become the mediator of his monocosm, they successfully eliminated their Creator. Hyperman—with his ambition for power and influence now greater than ever before—had accomplished his goal of being the most powerful mortal being in the monocosm. But when he discovered the two SuperGods—now taken aback by Creator's non-SuperGod-executed erasure—Hyperman realized that Creator was never the most powerful being in existence. Creator's death did not make him the most powerful being in existence. This infuriated Hyperman and this fury would drive him insane. Paradoxus, realizing that Creators and Destroyers truly were what made monocosms balanced, was enraged. The monocosm they had entered was no longer balanced and it was all his fault. Paradoxus figured that the best decision at this point was to swiftly erase all that was in this monocosm so no one would ever find out about what they had done. Logixel disagreed with this decision, as he thought it was best to keep the beings in the monocosm alive and wanted no more death to come to anyone. Paradoxus and Logixel continued to argue but stopped when they were confronted by Peralitus. When Peralitus saw the two young SuperGods—the two young SuperGods that were Matharin’s creations—outside their designated monocosm and have caused an imbalance within Beyond, knew what he had to do to get Xenixel to punish Matharin and perhaps make him second-in-command of the Council. Peralitus had no qualms with the young gods having to be exiled in order for that to be the case. Paradoxus, knowing Peralitus would get them exiled and that Matharin will support them to the end, attacked Peralitus to buy metatime for Logixel to find Matharin and get her to help. Peralitus, fearing that the strength difference between him and Paradoxus would accidentally kill the younger SuperGod and get him into more trouble than Matharin could ever be, tried his best not to fight back and focused more on defending himself. Logixel, now more afraid than he had ever been in his whole life, traversed the Beyond bubble and in a stroke of luck, found Matharin.

Logixel quickly and apprehensively explained his predicament to Matharin and begged her to help him and Paradoxus. Matharin, with only her children’s needs in mind, was enraged and at the cost of more of her mind, decided to tap into her vast array of knowledge to find out the precise circumstances of the situation and find a subtle and specific thing to do that would frame Peralitus for the imbalance—shifting any punishment that her children would get over to Peralitus. Matharin believed that after Conceptilum, who was at the moment on a joint mission with Xenixel and Empiroxus, came back, he would be very proud of her devotion to protect their children.
