Danger perception and foresight were always vague.
Only after Ronan urgently halted the Lifting operation, steadied himself, and reassessed did more information clear into view:
That kind of "external force" interference seemed to exist in more than one place. Above the Polar Domain, there were at least two of them!
And fortunately there were two. Otherwise, he might not have sensed the subtle "tearing" within it at all, and perhaps would have muddled through without realizing anything.
