Orsaga was a mad, obsessive bastard.
In his mind.
His present self was himself, but his past and future selves were not necessarily himself.
And his other counterparts were even less likely to be himself.
Thus.
The counterparts who had died at his hands were naturally numerous.
Far too many to count.
It was not necessarily for profit.
More likely, he had simply wanted to kill them.
Every version of me.
Should die by my hand!!
Now.

As though some special attack were bombarding the entire area!!
Only countless thunderous crashes and shock waves.
Erupted freely throughout that boundless region.
And the chaotic energy fluctuations
