Zeke was right about one thing. There was really a catastrophe which went on in the heavens as soon as he defeated Vardus. In fact, it was all aligned to what he hypothesized because, the other half of the Grand Monarch has awakened in the heavens.
It came suddenly. While the main deities entertained all the questions of the doubting minor gods, Vardus suddenly woke up. He didn't let this show. In fact, he simply observed his surroundings, trying to figure out what was happening. Then, as soon as he got a good grasp of it, Vardus stopped time.
"Ahh so even these self-proclaimed gods have no way of escaping my powers."
"Time Spears!" Vardus was caught a bit off guard, unable to dodge all the projectiles and getting hit by one.
"Of course, a poor imitation."
"Look old man, I don't know who you are but, you can't be messing with my stuff like that."
"Oh don't worry you'll know me soon enough."
