Moving many times faster than light, the lightning bolt easily penetrated the entire storm without any loss in momentum or essence. It escaped outside the Magus Supreme world, traveling deep into Reality.
After the lightning passed through the ocean of rain and storm, the descending calamity seemed to momentarily pause in midair before it exploded into steam that covered the entire Magus realm, making the gigantic planet that resembled a sun turn a shade of gray.
A new storm began to brew inside the heavy mist, but it was no longer the realm-destroying storm of before; instead, it was gentle, almost nourishing.
The heavy mist covered the entire realm, and even without breathing it in, the fog could be easily absorbed through the skin. It was unknown who was the first to feel its effects, but intense cries of surprise began to erupt from the entire realm. Before long, massive booming sounds like an earthquake began to arise from every corner of the realm as billions of mages began to simultaneously break through.
The shape of the lightning bolt after dispersing the storm inside the world of mages did not change; it simply rose like a star and vanished into the darkness.
There was a moment of silence, during which Reality seemed to have held its breath, and then the lightning bolt that had traveled for millions of light years exploded.
"Boom!!!"
A silver sun appeared at the spot of the explosion and began to expand, its bright light seen by many dimensions close to the Supreme World of Mages. Then, with a resounding roar, the silver sun exploded.
A circular shockwave, like the ripple of a gigantic heartbeat inside an ocean, was blasted out by this shockwave, and it began to spread all through reality with a speed that defied meaning.
This ripple crossed countless dimensions, and whenever it reached a location with a storm, it shattered it into mist. It continued spreading, drawing power from the storms that were broken and expanding even faster with every new dimension that it touched.
It was easily discernible that this ripple would be able to reach every corner of existence as long as it continued drawing power from the storm.
In those dimensions where the ripples of that explosion reached the inhabitants, they began to rapidly break through into higher levels, and Reality began to vibrate with so many emerging dominions that it began to shake.
This was not a minor tremor that could be sensed on a single dimension; no, this was all the dimensions, all of reality, from the lower realms to the higher realms. Everything was shaking.

Before activating the plans he had with Andar, Rowan had decided to allow Reality to slowly come to terms with what the storm had brought. The first step of this process was to take a decade in the least before the new state of Reality becomes the norm.
With such a time frame, it would be easy for him to adjust the plans to fit the situation that came up as he waited for the responses from the Primordial Domains; however, he no longer had such a privilege.
Endirius, a Primordial Beast, had set his gaze upon Rowan. If his plans were to have any hope of success, Rowan would have to rapidly change them while the Primordial Beast still waited for his trap to slam shut.
The lightning bolt released by Andar was only supposed to shatter the storm in this realm alone and show the mages the power that it now contained, but Rowan was turning this plan on its head, and he took control of the lightning bolt after it left the atmosphere of the world of mages.
There were a lot of eyes on this realm, and they had seen the effects of the Primordial Aether that had just flooded this realm, and with the ripple from the detonation of the lightning bolt rapidly reaching every dimension in Reality, it would not be long before Primordial Essence would spread in every dimension.
A situation like Ghribba, the Silver Queen, who decimated her entire realm to hide the truth behind the storm, would never happen, as Rowan was choosing to reveal it all to the masses.
With such a drastic and unexpected action, he knew that Endirius would no longer be patient enough to hide his fangs, and this was what Rowan wanted.
"Andar, prepare yourself for what is to come. Know that I am with you."
