Making a Decision

One of the 13 monarchs.

The Monarch of Despair was a leader back when the Mirror Universe was at its peak. They called it the Nightmare Universe because all the disruptors were nightmares.

The Primordial Era was meant to be the ascension event that would see the known universe clashing with the Nightmare Universe...the uprising.

This clash was meant to determine who would get to live and ascend to the ranks of a Primal Universe.

But that never happened. Paragon stopped that. He broke the natural rule that was set for that event to happen.

The Universe runs on rules. 

These rules determine when and who gets to live. These rules cannot be opposed. These rules are meant to hinder or upgrade the universe. 

It hinders because going against the Nightmare Universe was just suicide.

However, back then, in this known universe, one person doesn't play by the rules. That person was Klaus's first incarnation.
