This was a world chosen by The Angel, taking the form of the sun god Ra, and inspiring the people of Egypt to develop sorcery as a method to fight back against Apophis. Champions of the gods were gifted lanterns imbued with golden Dreamdust, and were tasked with leading the people of Earth to develop a machine to counter Apophis, known today as R.A (The Responsive Automaton), which would consume all of Earth Eleven. Still, R.A. would fall beneath Apophis' strength,and the corpse of R.A. would go on to become both a power battery for Apophis, and a power battery for future R.A. champions, now handpicked by the Unholy Trinity due to their weak minds.
Didn't even require a ritual. Their world was gone the moment the gods touched it.
