Becca probably hadn't expected things to turn out this way, either.
When the Intermediate Realm became a Lightning Net, he discovered that he had merged with its Lightning Net. He had taken the Intermediate Realm's place, becoming the barrier between the underworld and the real world.
Becca had never encountered anything like this before.
He also discovered that the Death Lightning within him was growing more and more violent.
Becca was at a loss.
