Wait. Waitwaitwaitwait.
Did Mr. Shadow Dragon just reveal an important plot point?
If this destruction doesn't annihilate the souls of the Martians, but instead keeps them around, the whole point of Fate's agenda and by extension, the Lifemaker's, may be partially revealed.
For whatever reason, the Lifemaker makes Mundus Magicus. It is a massive work and brilliant, but flawed. The Lifemaker has detected a flaw in his work that will undo it all and kill those in its way. The collapse is irreparable(or so he thinks) and so the Lifemaker begins his plan to rewrite the world to save it from destruction. Cosmo Entelechia and the first of the Averncus are means to disrupt the major powers. In giving them free will, the Lifemaker's creations have become strong enough to oppose him, and the truth would drive them Mad From The Revelation. His work must be secret and safe from interference once it becomes too powerful to remain secret. If all the world were to unite, even the Code of the Lifemaker would be insufficient.
Enter a spoiler element. This Mage from the Old World and his Ala Rubra are throwing the plan into chaos. Avernucus will turn nations against him but it does not work. Finally, on the eve of his triumph, the Lifemaker is confronted and defeated by this X-factor outside his control!
Fast forward to the present, and the damage done to the dimensional barriers by first the flaw and then the Lifemaker's mad attempt to correct it. Mundus Magicus is dying and no amount of effort can save everyone....save one. The Code of the Lifemaker, sealed beneath the deepest, most powerful magics, can liberate and store the souls of all long enough to finish the death and rebirth of Mundus Magicus into a new, perfect world. And Tertium, third of the Avernucus, will see it done....even as he wonders at those who accomplish the impossible and surpass it, contrary to the Lifemaker's opinions that make the groundwork of his existence. All he needs to unseal the final piece is the most powerful anti-magic Mundus Magicus has ever known...
