"Something like this… could not have been hidden so easily," said the Primal gravely. Due to his status as a Sage race member, not to mention his position in the bank, his insight into the matters across the universe came from a higher and deeper perspective.
The Primals effectively ran the universe, even if they did not claim ownership of it. They controlled all Inter-realm banks. They controlled the means of communications between large organisations. They controlled the information on several key features of the universe, with the Cosmic Ascendance Spectrum being just one of them. The scope of their understanding of the undercurrents of the universe could not be understated.
That was also one of the reasons that the Primals were some of the most untrusted and even somewhat hated races in the universe, for many believed that they were complicit in many shady dealings and various frauds. No one believed that the Primals lacked foreknowledge of the war.
