(A/N: You guys are probably confused why this chapter is so short and why it's considered "complete". Well…just read)

38th Hall of Causality and Effect

Deus watched the Lelouch and Akise sit in front of the chessboard and as Akise grabbed a pawn to make the first move. The screen paused by Deus' will and slid up and away.

"So this is the effect that your damage to reality caused, or rather one of the many ripple patterns it can cause?"

Murumuru floated up next to Deus and sat on his shoulder. "That's right, I think the choices presented are both fathomable and logical, don't you agree?"

"I agree that this will certainly be interesting Murumuru, but I believe there were a few details you got wrong."

"Oh?" Murumuru kicked her legs. "What details would those be?"

"You will see when the time comes," Deus said. Up until now he had watched Murumuru's prediction of what she believed would happen the moment the survival game was switched over to the new universe. The little minion had yet to actually give Lelouch his phone. "Tell me something though, Murumuru, did you base the 2nd on being the defending champion to make things interesting or is there something you're not telling me."

"Uhhhhhh…"

"I suppose it doesn't matter. You did get one detail right, it does not matter if the second did win and create a time jump, that will just make the game more interesting. I also believe you have a true grasp on the second's intentions and beliefs. Still, when the game begins, I will erase that you ever showed this to me. As the judge I must not hold a biased opinion and based on your assumptions I will find things out eventually."

"Or will you? The future is not finite," Murumuru told him.

Deus smirked as best as someone with his face could, "Murumuru, let us begin the game for real now. Go to the 8th and let us begin the Survival Game."

"Yes sir!" Murumuru vanished and disappeared.

Deus sat straight back in his chair. In the next moment, Yukiteru showed up in the 38th Hall of Causality and Effect.

"Ah, Yukiteru, just the person I wanted to see. Please give me your phone."

"Why? What are you planning?"

"An interesting game," Deus told him.

END


(A/N: Go ahead, say it: "Cop-out". The truth of the matter is I'm rather dissatisfied with this series, but rather than go back and write it, I'm going to use Mirai Nikki to its fullest advantage of how this series can get away with Deus ex Machina because of the name of its god and I'm essentially going to "reboot" the series. Things will be much different in this reboot. It will still be called "Ultimate Paradox", but it'll probably be called something like "Ultimate Paradox: Reloaded" or "Ultimate Paradox: Rebooted" or "Ultimate Paradox: Recoded" or something like that. I don't know if it's exactly in character for Deus to say he'll erase his memory or whatnot, but I wanted to be able to purely give the new version a clean slate somehow. As I look back at the series there are a lot of things I wish to fix. For starters: I am now savvier with the Code Geass universe than ever before and thanks to my writing of "Cornelia of the Defection" I have to change certain qualities of the series to benefit the truth rather than benefit the Rule of Drama. My writing skills have improved tremendously so rather than continue this train wreck and try to salvage it by combing back over the chapters. I want to start from scratch and make things a little more interesting. However, I do want to leave the original version up so that when the reboot does come out and people would wonder whatever happened to the original, and so I can reference the original if I wish. So be on the lookout for "Ultimate Paradox: Recalibrated" …I seriously have no idea what I'm going to call this. If you guys have an idea, say so in your review and for the love of god be thankful I'm at least bothering to redo this rather than just throwing my hands up in the air and quitting).
