The Multiverse of the present was completely different from how it had been during Joshua's time.
After being revived from death, experiencing a resurgence following his fall, losing his power as a Wise One once but reclaiming it once more…it was only until the very present moment that Joshua finally had the time to really take a serious look at his friends and family before him, all of whom had fought with all their power just to bring him back.
For the Wise One of the Gods to claw his way out from within the Initial Flame was not actually a simple matter.
How would he have described it? The way Joshua felt then was very much akin to hating the realm for having no handle which he could grab hold of and move—despite having inexhaustive power, he simply could not make a run for it to escape from the Root that was without a horizon, no target, and nothing else apart from being 'existent', not to mention that it was hollower than the Void itself.
