What Happened After the Genesis Core Was Destroyed?
When Kaela entered N'yrrhath's dream core and detonated the Genesis Core within, the world did not explode.
Instead — time stopped.
For a moment, all things real and unreal folded into one. In the deepest depths of reality, voices fell silent. N'yrrhath — The Sleeper Beneath the Root — was still.
People call it the "core's destruction." But that's not entirely true.
What was destroyed was the barrier.
The Genesis Core, all along, was not merely a reality stabilizer. It was a lock and key. Its barrier was crafted by nature itself — not to destroy N'yrrhath, because entities like that cannot die...
...but to limit its consciousness. To make it dream inside a closed loop.

The Effect of the Explosion:
When the Genesis Core was shattered at N'yrrhath's heart, the effect cut two ways:
The first side: the world was saved. The blast severed the connection between N'yrrhath and the physical world, stopping the dreaming process that was nearly swallowing the entire earth.
The second side: without Genesis, there was no longer a lock. No more "key."
N'yrrhath was not destroyed — it fractured, its consciousness scattered between layers of dream and reality.
Like a god with amnesia, forgotten not because it died — but because it was broken apart.
And within the scattered shards of its soul, new seeds began to grow.

What Remains of N'yrrhath?
Not a body. Not a whole will.
But something more dangerous:
Fragments of Consciousness.
In quiet places, humans began to draw spirals unconsciously.
Some dreamt of roots piercing through their ceiling.
Fragile reality zones — once stable — started to pulse strangely, as if the earth itself was thinking.
N'yrrhath has not awakened, but it is beginning to reassemble itself.
Not as a creature. Not as a dream.
But as a "New Law."

Narrative Explanation for Readers:
N'yrrhath could never be destroyed because it is not a creature. It is a dream system — a living idea.
And ideas don't die. Ideas evolve.
Kaela cut off its flow. But that flow began to find new paths.
Without Genesis, nothing remains to hold it back.
