Evil enters the Sphere in the form of Rovagug the Devourer. The Celestial Sphere is tainted irreversibly and nearly destroyed.
Rovagug the Devourer, an agent of Destruction from beyond, enters the Sphere and immediately sets to cause havok. Taking the First Creations are obliterated while minor dieties flee or are eaten. Starra herself flees the Sphere in fear while Bahamut wages battle upon the Destroyer that he cannot possibly win.
