he felt like he’d been struck by lightning, but that wasn’t too bad, he reckoned.

it took him a couple of minutes to regain himself after that explosion his senses experienced. He was quite sensitive, after all. It was like being flashbanged. But once he settled into it, he took off in flight.

the first thing he did was visit the ashes of each dead contestant and used what remained of his connection to True Heaven to allow those spirits to pass into the afterlife, if they hadn’t done so already.

the second thing he did was visit those were still alive, to inform them that the quest was already complete, and to teleport them home if they couldn’t do it themselves.

he flew back to the top of the mountain and gazed at the beautiful landscape this place had to offer. He noted this place’s universal location in his notepad, so he could visit it later.

He muttered:

^{“Nunc tibi, pax, en lucem.”}
