Shinryu Paradox
Shinryu Paradox
Born from the memories of an entity said to be terror and dread made flesh. In another time, in another world, this mighty deity was said to be created when the Keeper of the Apocalypse absorbed a being possessed of great power. It was even said to have brought low the hero thought destined to save the world from ruin.
Shinryu Paradox is a boss in Windurst: The Third Walk.

Lore
Not many people know this, but the cavernous maws dotting the lands of Vana'diel are actually gateways. They lead to another Vana'diel.
A native of that place brought a number of us adventurers there in hopes of saving his home. Its skies were stained red, its lands mired in shadow. He called it Abyssea.
There were strange and horrible monsters unlike anything in our world. The most terrible among them was a dragon whose power rivaled the gods.
Shinryu... We eventually managed to overcome the fiend with the aid of a special primeval brew that granted us preternatural strength.
And you're saying this Sareel Ja was able to fuse Shinryu together with Gulool Ja Ja?
I struggle to imagine the horrors such a king would inflict upon the world. Had his plan succeeded, it would have spelled the end of everything as we know it.
I certainly hope you apprehend him soon, before he finds some other means to abuse the memories of Vana'diel.
A pity we must always be reminded of the world's evils when there's so much good in it.
But with adventurers like you to help defend that good, I know we'll be all right.
