While Rohan was relishing the new found
strength and undergoing excruciating process something monumental and era defining event occurred on earth. When Rohan completed his transformation and released the mana pulse from his body, the pulse of a being at Planetary level and caliber of Rohan, in the presence of mana devoid planet.
The atmosphere was not strong enough to
repel the pulse, so pulse travel strongly after crossing atmospheric barrier and reach the earth surface and then something fundamental shift happened in earth core.
Something that was locked or something that was not supposed to happen yet had occurred prematurely. Earth began to leak minimal amount of mana but it was increasing at steady rate that will bring the changes no one was ready for.
The change brought by mana pulse was not
only that but the change that everybody noticed was complete blackout all over the
earth which include satellites. Every thing that run on electricity was off, from small devices to big machines, from drone to big aircraft, anything that runs on electricity was complete dead for 3 minutes.
This 3 minutes whole world was at standstill
and there was confusion, panic, fear and some were curious. Myriad of emotions were
felt by numerous people. For 1st minute there was panic and confusion as every vehicle, laptop, communications, internet everything came to complete full stop. People started checking there devices, some cars and SUVs stopped mid way
abruptly and multiple crashes occur. This was not the scene of one street, one colony,
one city or even one state, this feeling was same for every people on earth.
From 2nd minute, fear began to creep in people because of accidents and multiple scenarios and complete dead electronics in front of them scared them shitless. Some tried to start to start generators or inverters or battery this also didn't yield anything. People came on streets and roofs and started talking and complaining about the same things.
Everywhere people were talking about the Blackout event, everything was proceeding
smoothly and then all things came to complete stop. Some people thought it's a terrorist attack other thought there government was experimenting with new weapon. The one good thing was there was
no communication for 2 minutes from all over the world.
When 3rd minute started, everybody began feeling anxiety, fear and panic. They couldn't understand what was happening.
Many airplanes and helicopters stopped working and plummeted down, some accidents happened. Now even the government and institutions were also checking if they were attacked and trying to establish communications.
After whole 3 minutes, everything started
going back to normal but nothing will remain normal after this event. First things
to start was internet and then came posts, comments or live blog of people explaining
there bizarre experiences and also conforming that everyone observed the same 'Blackout event'. Nobody can sense any other changes but deep down a fear had crept in everyone but very few were taking about it. The fear of unknown because many people had theories but nobody can say for sure what happened and what was the reason behind it. They were not sure of the event and didn't even know that will it happen again or not.
This event will became known as 'Prelude
to apocalypse' in future and was one of the event that changed the destiny of earth.
While all this was happening, the one who
caused it was observing changes in his body and feeling the power in every cell
of his body. At the end of 2nd minute he observed everything has become
little dark then he shifted his attention form himself and space towards earth then
he notices that there was not a single bulb or light was there, when he came to space, he observed the half of planet where it was night and lights were twinkling everywhere, now there was complete darkness. The side where it was day didn't have much observational change but he could sense the area was full of negative emotions.
After observing all that he immediately spread his sense to whole planet and observe the changes and the more he observed, more he felt something wrong has happened and he also picked up miniscule amount of mana on earth. Before he could make sense what had happened Arya came with response.
[The changes you are observing occurred
because of mana pulse you released during completion of your evolution. I thought
that by coming to space you could avoid doing any drastic changes to earth or bring
any Cataclysmic event. It seems we have prevented small event and in return become
recipient of Apocalyptic event. Your planet is in danger.]
"whoa, whoa put on brakes for a moment,
what cataclysmic event? What apocalyptic event? Can you please explain and what
do you mean earth is in danger?" Rohan said in exclaimed voice as his heart started
pounding. His heart was pounding even harder than when he get to know about Cosmic Forge System and knowledge about universe and everything.
[When I said your planet in barren that
is because your planet is devoid on mana but now due to mana pulse that is introduced
to earth core, your planet is going under a kind of awakening that is premature
and your planet and its people are not ready for it because premature awakening
is dangerous to planet as it connects your planet to multiple mana infested planets
which are destroyed due to premature or artificial awakening.
These planets works as catalyst to turn
newly awakened planet into mana infested planets or realms. These planets appears
as portals for new planets which releases intelligent and non intelligent creatures
known as Mana beast or multiple other names.]
"Arya what would have happened if I have
done evolution process on earth?" Rohan asked tentatively
[Earth would have been destroyed or would
have suffered natural disasters. That's why I said that we prevented cataclysmic
event and went directly to apocalyptic event. I didn't calculate that your breakthrough
will cause such uproar at Planetary level. If I had known, I will have told you
to take extra precautions but now your planet is in danger.]
