Only one Flame of the Beginning existed, and the number of regularly born Shards of the Flame of the Beginning were also widely known.
But what would happen, if a catastrophic event occurred, an event that would cause the sudden compression of tremendous amounts of energy?
In order to create enough energy to give birth to an anomaly of a Shard of the Flame of the Beginning in a single moment at that, the entire Universe would have to be in an uproar.
Or…the entire Universe would have to be on the verge of destruction!
The flame of the beginning had been in existence even before the Universes had merged.
However, it was a fact that it ceased to exist for a short period of time when the Universe was destroyed, devoured by the core of Shima, the infinitely large planet that was birthed after the destruction of the Universe.
