There was clearly more going on with this freaky lightning storm than he initially realized.
"No wonder the Superior Mother started off so strong after her birth. The lightning baptism she received back then must have reduced all of her flaws and increased her growth potential as a consequence!"
On the one hand, this was good news to Ves. Who didn't like to undergo a comprehensive round of refinement? He could clearly feel he was transcending to a higher state of existence, though only slightly.
His cyborg cat received most of the benefits of this entire sequence of mystical events, so it also experienced the most dramatic changes.
Ves understood that it was for his own good. He was nowhere qualified to ascend to this degree in his current state. He would have never been able to absorb so much powerful galactic energies or resist so much raw destruction. Trying to challenge the lightning storm alone was a surefire way to commit suicide in his opinion!
