The Ripple Effect...

Earth was anticipating a clash between an overly large army and a single human who everyone knew wouldn't be able to handle the pressure. They all anticipated Klaus dying when he faced the Alliance.

The Alliance was also certain this was their win, and it was something they were counting on. 

They had an Ascendant and dozens of Transcendents on their side. They had tens of thousands of Great Sages, Sages, and Saints on their side.

This was supposed to be a battle where Klaus wouldn't be able to do anything. However, in the end, the impossible happened, and Klaus was the one left standing.

In fact, this wasn't even a battle; it was, as Klaus had named it, a game show. Everyone saw how he switched from one game to the next, with every game claiming thousands of lives.

They saw what he was capable of, and after everything, they came to the conclusion that Klaus was simply a monster.

But even so, many things don't make sense.
