"You have done it." Old Man First's voice carried both pride and disbelief as he studied the sight before him.
"Remarkable," he continued, nodding slowly. "Now that the clone has merged with the flow of time, it can safely comprehend the concept of time without being affected by the law of causality. But listen carefully, Max. This comes with a strict condition."
He turned his gaze to Max, his expression growing solemn. "You must never allow this clone to touch any other concept. Not even the faintest trace of one. The moment you do, the law of causality will strike it without mercy. It will tear apart the balance you have created, and the backlash could destroy both you and the clone entirely. Keep this in mind at all times."
Max nodded without hesitation. "Understood."
