Before Logixel could ask for the names of the rest of the crew, Paradoxus shut him up. Paradoxus very angrily inquired the crew on what they were trying to do. Much of the crew made very crude speeches about exploration and freedom. All but one SuperGod could tell that the intentions of all but one crew member were indeed malicious. The one SuperGod was Imaginatim who, throughout all the interviews of the Omnius-Infinity’s crew, only cried about being hungry. The one crew member was Satoru. Satoru seemed very dense and it was clear that he had been quite easily tricked by his fellow crewmates into supporting them and was unaware of their very obvious and rudimentary plan to rise in power and take over many monocosms. Right after Unthil called the crew out on their plan, they attempted to retaliate by attacking the SuperGod. Upon the ship's first move, Paradoxus swiftly erased five of the mortals—much to the shock of all the present SuperGods but Unthil. Conceptilum was upset not only because Paradoxus had executed half the crew before a verdict was decided but that Paradoxus did not think before he acted—he truly expected much better from his eldest son after Venrensorys's attack. Logixel was mortified as he just witnessed the deaths of five living beings who did not see their demise coming and five other beings left traumatized at the sudden erasure of their crewmates. Imaginatim was confused and particularly stressed out because five of her "new friends" disappeared and did not even say goodbye. Unthil paid a small bit of attention the remaining five crew members—one of which was Satoru. As he did, Unthil noticed one of the crew members slowly reaching for the controls for a cannon to fire at the Council. Slightly annoyed and dissatisfied, Unthil decided to paralyze all of the crew members and wait until the Council would stop arguing.

      It was soon decided among Paradoxus, Unthil, and Conceptilum that an execution of all of Omnius-Infinity’s crew but Satoru would not be a bad idea, much to the great dissatisfaction of Logixel and Imaginatim. Paradoxus handled the erasure of the crew members while Logixel could not bear to watch it unfold. Imaginatim was mortified when the crew was executed, but could not coherently express her stress. Logixel tried his best to comfort his younger sister as Paradoxus erased the crew. Imaginatim still complained about her hunger. Logixel calmly but sternly told Imaginatim to stop complaining and focus on the trial—nourishment will be provided to her after everything was dealt with and the last thing to do was decide what to do with Satoru. The fate of Satoru should be was a point of greater contention than the erasure of the crew. Logixel would more fiercely defend the mortal whenever any option deemed harmful was brought up. Execution was a bad idea as Satoru has not done anything to deserve death. Exile was also a bad idea as inter-Beyond bubble space was still a waste after the Beyond bubble collapse—exiling him would be putting him to death in a much slower and potentially more agonizing way. Sending him back home was not an option—Conceptilum pointed out that sending him back would risk any more entities knowing about the rather disorganized state of Beyond and what lay past. Sending Satoru back with his memory erased was also not a fair option—not only did Logixel loathe the idea of tampering with the mind of a being, but the Council in general was either far too unreliable as a means of mind manipulation and could not follow instructions properly, did not know how to actually erase the mind of a mortal, or would risk having their mind get degraded from figuring out the exact circumstances for an ideal memory erase (especially if the memory erase was to become standard practice).

      Conceptilum pointed out that perhaps the monocosm he had found could be a viable place of rehabilitation—perhaps living within this new home may give an opportunity for the mortal to start afresh and live a new life. Unthil once again pointed out that the SuperGods still had no idea what was in the monocosm and again pointed out that he was very strangely unable to actually analyze the verse’s internal structure. Logixel wanted to believe that the new structure may be a safe new home for Satoru but his mind was clouded with doubt. Paradoxus complained that he just wanted this situation over and dealt with. If sending the mortal to the verse was necessary, then so be it. Imaginatim was still very stressed and very hungry. After discussing the situation over, the majority agreed on sending Satoru to the monocosm, albeit some of the agreement was reluctant. Unthil did not necessarily agree but was also not against sending the entity into the realm. Unthil decided to leave the meeting since at this point, the only SuperGod basically left in charge was Realitus and leaving Realitus to be the only SuperGod to manage Beyond was just dreadful. Conceptilum, after muttering to himself that Unthil was the one who left Realitus out, asked Unthil to bring Realitus over so that Hellensoerensen could be activated. Unthil, after remarking about how great an idea that was since having no SuperGod moderating Beyond would be so much better than having Realitus solely moderate Beyond, agreed and left to find Realitus. While Unthil was gone, Logixel kindly explained to Satoru that he would be given a new home and that the SuperGod would never forget him. Satoru said nothing and it was unclear what he thought in the moment. After Unthil arrived back with a Realitus that just would not stop insulting him and unparalyzed Satoru, the Council exited Beyond with Omnius-Infinity and activated Hellensoerensen, overall being cautious to not affect the stability of Beyond. After the activation, Unthil still could not tell what was inside the new monocosm, but now they could safely place objects and entities inside. Omnius-Infinity, with Satoru inside, was placed into the monocosm. After Satoru was gone and Hellensoerensen was deactivated, Realitus was very confused. He demanded that the others give information that he deserved to know. Unthil, fully expecting insults to be thrown at him, told him that they just sent an entity into the new monocosm. Realitus asked if they had done a trial for the entity. Unthil said yes. Realitus threw a fit—he was upset that he was yet again not invited to such an important meeting and he took his anger out on Unthil. While Realitus was ranting, Imaginatim was fidgeting with a new very small yet very intricately designed omniverse she just created. After Realitus finished ranting, he destroyed Imaginatim’s new omniverse and stormed back into Beyond, leaving Imaginatim to pick up the scraps of the omniverse and slowly and sadly absorb them to quench her hunger. Unthil felt tired. He was sick of Realitus’ constantly rude behaviour and hoped that Realitus would soon have some sense brutally beaten into him. It did not matter at all to the SuperGod how he wanted it to go through, he just wanted it to happen.

      Many, many eons came and went. Most of the damage that Venrensorys had done was repaired and Beyond was relatively stable. Eventually, Satoru was mostly forgotten about by the SuperGods that debated over his fate. Satoru’s new place of residence ended up being so rarely used that the SuperGods nearly completely forgot about it. Only Logixel remained worried over the fates of Satoru and the very few other entities that they decided to send to the monocosm as well as any friends or family the entities had and would constantly beg an exasperated Unthil to provide information about the mortals so he could quietly try to keep an eye on Satoru’s friends and family after Satoru had been “banished” whenever he had free time, knowing that it was not possible to simply break into the monocosm Satoru was banished to. The memories of Satoru very quickly faded from the minds of many people and Logixel’s watches soon became essentially just a means of spending time and metatime with mortals. Though Logixel knew finding any information on Satoru’s fate was a fruitless effort, he hoped that eventually he might find out something crucial.

      One day on a small planet the SuperGod visited, Logixel overheard a conversation between two beings about a very powerful and malicious entity that has been recently causing some trouble among the archverses they called “Kotoblade”. Kotoblade apparently hailed from a realm known only as the “Kalyubi Dimension” and was allegedly the most powerful entity from the dimension—there were apparently even rumours that this Kotoblade was more powerful than the “Super god” that occasionally comes down to the omniverses to form large cults devoted to himself. However, unlike the “Super god” who Logixel instantly figured out the identity of, Kotoblade was seemingly unable to actually use most of his powers to devastate and cause much harm to the verses—apparently Kotoblade was unable to access “existence” physically and required the possession of a mortal entity in order to affect physical objects. The aforementioned possessions were rumoured to have been made by making deals with Kotoblade. But while a being was possessed, said being never actually gained all of Kotoblade’s abilities. Kotoblade’s motivations seemed to be to exact revenge on those who have banished him. Logixel was very concerned upon hearing about the entity and figured that the entity had the potential to cause great harm to many people and if the rumours about Kotoblade’s overall strength were true, perhaps all of Beyond was in danger. Logixel’s experience
