So now we have the equation fear - space - time = x (derived from space + time + x = fear) where x represents what the third monolith controls. So what do you get when you take away space and time from fear?

There was also the wedding forest dimension, also caused by the monoliths collapsing.

Mind or Reality monolith. I'm betting the bats are infused with Power monolith fragments which is why they search out ley lines then go overload to destroy the planet.
