While Julian was undergoing his intense breakthrough in the sea of consciousness, the outside world was experiencing a phenomenon of apocalyptic proportions. The sky that was once calm was suddenly engulfed by a surge of violent lightning storms.
Bolts of electricity crackled across the heavens illuminating the world below with flashes of light so intense they seemed to split the sky in half. Thunder roared like a beast shaking the ground beneath and the people whether in the Ares Kingdom or far beyond all looked up in terror at the unfolding spectacle.
This wasn't confined to one region. Across continents, from bustling cities to remote villages. The sheer intensity of the lightning made it appear as though the heavens themselves were in revolt. Entire kingdoms were paralyzed in awe and fear as the once clear skies turned into a chaotic dance of storm and fury.
