So why were the hegemonies waiting if they could activate the amalgamation without a hitch in a few seconds. Or will this be explained later?
Yes but they were planning to amass control for a 100000 more years. You would expect there to be more issues in the activation then just sending your essence for a second
Nitrigo:I guessing the amalgamation is effected by how much sway the hegemonies have the universes i.e. how much did the dao they birth affect the inhabitants of said universes.
