"I'm doing this to protect them. If they can't enter, then good. At least they won't have to worry about the people who are inside, since I'll be keeping them at bay for as long as I can."

Honestly, Rael couldn't see what happened in that realm, but he knew that if he went there, those people, or even Lucien, would never descend into this universe.
But deep down... he didn't want to leave.
He had so many projects he had been working on, and so many things he wanted to do. The Sketa Online project across multiple worlds, the mega city, hanging out with his friends, hanging out with his wives...
The thought of forever losing such an option hurt him more than anything, but at the end of the day, Rael knew that the alternative was everyone he loved and cared about dying, then him finally fighting a powerful army all by himself.
In short, he would lose everything in exchange for a short moment of happiness.
