Chapter 4 - Birth of Crimson Reverends: The Agency of Futility and Despair

"Our ploy was success, since our Parliament is now isolated in political irrelevance, our power exerts more greater than ever. The tool's usefulness paid off our ambitions. Adjust the defense parameters of semiotic networks to conceal our transparency not even Clerics nor Suzerains can find out." Overseers and Justiciar rejoice in satisfaction of Magistrate's acting, Overseers report the details of past activities follow based on Magistrate's plan. "Your excellency, the Simulacrum is fully operational and make several tweaks to replicate the biomass and atmospheric compositions of Earth. Inhabited by 7 billion test subjects from post-nuclear war Earth arrived later in perfect simulated conditions. Besides of that, we only isolated five persons fit for the roles and remaining 7 billions fulfill their role as NPC's and reconstruct human civilization in level of medieval society settings. Based on our psychological findings. These four persons diagnosed with schizophrenia but their sense of ambitions is abnormally delusional, consuming much pop culture media can't distinguish reality and fantasy, pity for those poor guys. Regarding the one person he exhibits same trait as Reverend Agony but likely inverted version of him, had potential apotheosis become Absurd Hero".

"Good, my venerable sages. Your honor, get Matriarch Despair and Reverend Agony to fulfill their role. This is order, not request. We don't let opportunity slips away because Bishop of Probability beats drum loudly under our watch and inform Suzerains the carnaval is hiring actors." Magistrate carefully analyze the situation as the tension rising between the Estates and Justiciar react discreetly; "Your excellency, are you certain that Clerics will not interfere in this matters?"

Magistrate calls out the Overseers and let them respond on Justiciar's reluctance about diplomatic outcome. "Your honor, based on our latest analysis. The political climate between Suzerains and Clerics reach the certain point of stability and they mandate the decree that Parliament is no longer exercise unrestrained autonomy over administrative matters. Our irrelevance is doesn't matter, but we have strongest leverage over the two Estates. It's the Simulacrum, Constitution of Regressive Framework and Court of Irrefutable Disputation, without it; these Estates have no access over completeness theorem that interpret frameworks of conceptual abstraction to execute simultaneous parallel overrides indefinitely with greater efficiency and precision without suffering from halting problem compared to Abstract Domain's Chamber of Praxis and Ineffable Domain's Basilica of Oracle."

Justiciar appreciates Overseer's comprehensive explanation and stand in translucent pedestal to give oratory speech; "Thank you for wonderful analysis, my venerable sages. Everyone, may our Parliament struck at high stake disposition, doesn't mean the foundation shaken in it's core. We must reach the satisfactory conclusion of diplomatic development for sake of our dominion. May we are outmaneuvered in unfamiliar game from now, defeat is only subjective matter of question". Charismatic speech distorted the void, rapidly expanding it's logarithmic entropy spans at Schwarzschild radius of 60 megaparsecs and forms singularity, violently siphons dead superclusters. Magistrate and Overseers applauded in approval signifies the radical shift of Parliament's political will as the impending turmoil waiting to implode beneath the cosmos.

Justiciar was granted permission by Clerics and Suzerains to roll out the negotiation but Magistrate and Overseers are exempted in possible bargains or treatises unless they acknowledge the apotheosis of Matriarch Despair and Reverend Agony as part of new order imposed by two opposing Estates. Justiciar arrived in Palace and Emperor greeted politely; "Welcome, your honor. Proceed to Chamber of Praxis to let we hear your concessions and don't speak abruptly in front of our holiness, only speak if our holiness give signals for your turn". Justiciar politely nod in return; "Thanks for wonderful advice, your majesty. Our excellency's behavior may irredeemably flawed, doesn't mean it's behavior represents the Parliament as whole". Justiciar smirks laced with ulterior motives and Emperor pretends doesn't notice it.

Inside of Chamber of Praxis, Suzerains and Clerics greet Justiciar and skips formality to proceed the concession talks. Chamber of Praxis overrides semiotic parameters to process the regressive framework authorized the access by Justiciar in specific outcome of treaty, statistical probability of possible loophole is 1 in 10^36 with looping absolute deviation. Does means, loss function is too great. Just simply stacking a needle in a haystack, no matter how you try to exploit. Parallel overrides looping infinitely in net negative value at maximum margin error. Justiciar seems sighing at idea of deadlocking Magistrate's Edicta Perpetuum but need to find way to exploit the clauses as Overseers already infiltrating the semiotic parameters of Chamber. Justiciar very wary on poignant expression of Cardinal of Relativity and Deacon of Decoherence, maybe they already know about the plan.

Bishop of Probability retort Justiciar with concised but precise words of ultimatum; "Better not, your honor. Things might doesn't end well." Justiciar bow deeply, hiding it's unpleasant expression. "Forgive me, your reverend for my insolence. I'm here for to deliver resolution and pardon the Magistrate's unprofessional conducts." Pope spoke with serenity of indifference; "Enough formality from now, your honor. Present and let we hear your concessions".

The dome of Chamber violently warped as the tear of spacetime continuum exposed the Planck-scale microworld. Justiciar walk towards translucent pillar in center, faced towards at direction of dome and touch the quasar spans 100 kiloparsecs with central engine size of < 0.1 parsec at the top of pillar sealed by ultramassive Higgs field to tame the violent quantum fluctuations of quasar.

"As a representative of Parliament, I'm hereby for concessions to repeal the previous three points decree and renewed the resolution.

First clause, the Parliament's authority cease the framework functionaries as independent governing body. Therefore, the Parliament will integrate as secondary governing body of Abstract Domain.

Second clause, the Parliament may cease it's autonomous function but any consents or overrides between the Estates. Parliament oversee the regulation and due process. Any bruteforce attempt of executive bypassing, Overseers will declare veto depend on severity.

Third clause, the Parliament's Three Substratum is remain on our authority. Also Magistrate, Overseers and I, hereby declare that apotheosis of Reverend Agony and Matriarch Despair is legitimate under Constitution of Regressive Framework."

To prove Matriarch Despair and Reverend Agony's apotheosis, they stand in front of translucent pillar and Chamber's dome violently tremors caused microworld motion in disarray. Quasar spinning violently, plasma jet temperature from accretion disk spewing fiery ultrahigh temperature staggering 10 trillion degrees Celsius brightly covered the Chamber with extremely powerful redshift. Symphony of antimatter-matter asymmetry crackling like fireworks of X-ray, neutron, gamma, alpha and beta decay. Gamma ray burst violently exposing the reverend couple to extremely high dose of radiation roughly 8.36 × 10^10 Gy (estimated 10^44 joules of total energy). Trial lasts shortly, Matriarch Despair and Reverend Agony barely damaged, their body distorted like gravitational lense to absorb the staggering total energy release. The couple still writhing with horrifying agony, as radiation still lingering to their body signifies transcendence from biological limitations. Ordinary human can't barely survive that will be easily obliterated just microseconds in oblivion of vacuum.

The reverend couple's apotheosis is resulted by overcoming observer effect. Reverend Agony successfully hijacked the Bayesian inference to assume apotheosis to control over fundamental forces of quantum chromodynamics and electrodynamics in Cathedral of Cosmos to override Liturgy of Flayed into a legitimate dogma to project power over mortal realm in countless inhabiting civilizations across cosmos. Magistrate does not anticipated the situation is getting worse and hypocritically retort Pope of Determinism for gifting mortal a fire. Cardinal of Relativity smiled on result of apotheosis, the Clerics barely not rejected it because they anticipated the arrival of new order does never change past billion years ago because of Magistrate's Edicta Perpetuum.

Justiciar is not glad on result of concession as Parliament in crisis. Duke of Chaos stand besides reverend couple to deliver proclamation. "Today, we witness the never seen mortal apotheosis that once thought impossible because of the stringency of Edicta Perpetuum but Reverend Agony and Matriarch Despair exposed the very illusion of Magistrate's perpetual law. Yes, we might assume the Magistrate's authority have extent over us. But, not every system created equally. Magistrate is always complicit in ideals of perpetualism lead to stagnation. Change is always fundamental concept of chaos and order. No matter we tried to suppress it, probability answers inevitability."

Chamber's dome trembling violently and space rift exposing the microscopic world closing at it's will signals the adjournment of concession. Justiciar nodded and inform the reverend couple. "Your reverend, Simulacrum is fully operational and Magistrate waiting for you to fulfill the primary role". Reverend Agony answered in gentle tone, devoid of any resentment. "I understand, your honor. I'm very excited to see those filthy heathens standing at the apex of human society. Who assumes they are greater than creation itself. Inform the Magistrate to deliver those heathens and my lady can be very pleased for the tribute." Justiciar surprised on Reverend Agony's behavior. His expression devoid any trace of arrogance, calm as void. Beneath the politeness, storm is trapped in warm serenity of pain only waiting to be unleash if necessary.

Reverend couple kneel in front of Clerics, partaking the last rite of Praxis Oath to execute override to integrate their apotheosis in Basilica of Oracle.

"Us the Crimson Reverend, once a mortal presided the objective reality. From now, our humanity is no longer part of wordly concepts. Pledging eternal subservience to Estates and dutifully serve the system. Liturgy of Flayed upheld the doctrinal maxim universally applied across mortal realm and every civilizations; "Rationality as religion, pain as love, ignorance as perseverance, cruelty as compassion, torment as hope, betrayal as morality and arrogance as wisdom." the new order of moral of consistency. Pillar of Enlightenment is now reach the wit's end. The Eternal Dark Age is upon the mortal realm, the metrics indefinitely eliminate any potential for growth or progress and retain their primitive characteristics as conduit of absolute obedience to the sacred order of cosmos."

Semiotics canopied the whole Chamber and information data of oath transmitted to Basilica of Oracle. Pope of Determinism teleport in Cathedral of Cosmos and raised translucent scepter at center of dome chanting the Liturgy of Flayed's doctrinal maxim. "Rationality as religion, pain as love, ignorance as perseverance, cruelty as compassion, torment as hope, betrayal as morality and arrogance as wisdom." to override the standard moral framework of mortal realm across cosmos under pretense of prophecy.

At Haemanthus field, Matriarch Despair is very happy on newly delivered goods. These are the people once the apex of human society in Earth who owned corporations, state positions, monetary institutions, religious leaders and celebrities are now tied in wooden stake, while others pleading mercy, shrieks in sheer terror and crying in hope to be spared. Matriarch Despair holding a blade while staring at them with serenity of indifference and speaks. "All of you, are the organ of opression. Represents the filth of apathy, delusion of grandeur and subservience to the rotting ideology of materialism. How dare you all! Stand mighty in the shoulder of giants, idolizing itself as a god that very being you loathed on." Matriarch Despair raised the blade and ground trembles. Thorned roots grows out rapidly, wrapped the entire body and penetrated the very viscera.

Innards gushing towards and soaks the Haemanthus flower with bloody guts, the field become crimson harvest for living. Then the crows, ravens, eagles, falcons and vultures start flocking the damned like festival while shrieking in despair and horrifying agony of violence. In this crimson garden, death is generally non-existent. Wounds or injury can instantly regenerates but your damnation is eternally recorded with fidelity. Gracious gods are very considerate ones, immortality reserves for the mortals who deserved the warmth of eternal torment. Matriarch Despair and Reverend Agony smiled with satisfaction laced with efficient cruelty. Behind the smile, magnanimity of malevolence hiding beyond horizon of void.

Inside the Parliament, Justiciar is very upset on oath, the Parliament valued rationality above all and believe progress of every mortal civilizations is very important as law. They so called new order is total madness. "I don't believe it, they overstepped the boundary should not supposed to be cross upon. Overseers, what are results of your infiltration attempts in Basilica of Oracle?" Overseers was unhappy and grimaced in frustration. "Edicta Perpetuum is now on total deadlock and need another billion of years for recovery of the system." Magistrate ease the tension as anxiety of two officiate rising. "Just calm down, may Edicta Perpetuum was deadlocked but there's one thing even Clerics, Suzerains or you two doesn't know about this system, I developed covertly past millions years ago." Two officials confused and asked with curiosity in unison. "What is it, your excellency?" Magistrate respond with no hesitation. "Corpus Juris Universum".

Justiciar and Overseers paled on what they hear and thought it was some failed fringe project but they underestimated Magistrate's dedication to complete and establish independent system dedicated only for completeness theorem which only Clerics can pull this kind of feat. The balance of power is completely thrown off, this system will circumvent the privilege access from low to high level executive decrees without being detected by defensive semiotic parameters and looping absolute deviation. Corpus Juris Universum have one weakness, unable to cancel out or exploit the loophole regarding apotheosis legitimacy unless they break out together in Basilica of Oracle and override the semiotic parameters but the idea is total nutcase and Clerics is not joking around.

Magistrate interrupt the silence and diverts the attention to Simulacrum. "To the Simulacrum and let's observe the miniatures". The three officiates entered the Simulacrum spans 60 megaparsecs and entrance guarded by cosmic microwave background with length of 3 megaparsecs. Translucent globe appeared in center of Simulacrum and it's energy source connected to translucent pillars serve as conduit for computing function that powered by quasars. Justiciar and Overseers astonished by rapid progress of human civilization when it starts from Bronze Age to Medieval Era in just 2 years by adding strange yet deadly fauna, animals and some supernatural creatures to increase evolutionary pressure. Clerics, Suzerains and Crimson Reverend appeared inside of Simulacrum, the three officiates feels the immense and oppressive gravity of the situation. Emperor of Origin sarcastically remarks. "We're not invited, huh?" Magistrate outburst in fury "How dare you of all intrude in our Subtrate without consent!". Matriarch Despair politely regards; "Your excellency, we sincerely apologize the intrusion but I should start acting now along with Reverend Agony?". Magistrate calmly demanded and ask a question; "In order, to continue our wonderful playwright. I have question for you, your holiness. What is reality? It is necessity or foundation? Pope answered comprehensively; "Why not both? There's no reason to separate them. I can only to do is differentiate not generalize the very fabric of concept. Magistrate smile bitterly and politely accept the temporary defeat. "Your welcome and the curtain of stage is now open".
