It depicted him as Godlike, creating a new universe, the life in it, and everything about it.
So basically although we saw the fast forwarded formation of life from fundamental matter and energy, the fact that we didnt see a depiction of a Big Bang on panel means that Parallax didnt achieve this feat through time manipulation even though he leads us to believe he did? 🤨
