Editing Contradiction (section)

==Chronology ==
The Second Mind met met with Geneva while she was in captivity at the Gathering Citadel, after a recent failure with the Third Mind swayed a majority of Minds to let them meet. It taught her how to resist the intrusions of the Third Mind, so she could negotiate her cooperation with them instead of being exploited.<ref name=":0" />

It continued to train Geneva in telepathy, and worked to have her released. It voted to have her released to Niers, but was outvoted in favour of stalling, which made it suspicious as to what Dictum planned. It's suspicions were confirmed when it discovered that Geneva's memories had been tempered with. It tried to rally the other Minds at the Citadel, but they already sided with Dictum. After 9 hours of fighting, Contradiction was forced into compliance.

Even in its weakened state, it tried to aid Geneva. It allowed her to see [[Okasha]] again, having punished her for her transgressions. It stopped Geneva from eating meat from [[A’ctelios Salash|A'ctelios Salash]] during a break-out attempt by the [Psychic Guardians], and took the meat away. 

When Niers arrived to free Geneva, it asked Idis to help her escape, killed her when she tried to alert the other Minds, and freed Okasha. Then it confronted the other Minds, urging them one last time to turn away from their current course. They refused and forced a merge, which is when Contradiction revealed its plan. It had eaten the meat of A'ctelios Salash, just enough to turn all of its constituent Selphids but not enough to satiate, and destroyed the rest before fasting. The hunger spread to the other Minds, rendering them insane. What remained of Contradiction used its telekinesis to unearth the Gathering Citadel, and called on the world powers to destroy it. It perished when the nations struck.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/11/02/9-23-ggggggggg/ Chapter 9.23 GGGGGGGGG]</ref>
