That divine retribution was a wake-up call for the Masters. It warned them that the times were changing, and that if they failed to act, this could very well mark the end of their era and the dawn of a new one. So, the Masters chose to act, seeking to preserve their reign over the five regions by strangling the herald of the new era while it was still in its crib.
I blamed myself for all of it. If I had not shown off by signing their ridiculous World Decree, none of this would have happened. They would not have been struck by divine retribution, nor would they have grown so wary of me to the point that they were now willing to threaten one of the four royal families with extinction just to get their way.
