sky? It's a flash of light that emits every time Genkins or someone else succeeds in creating an [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Timeline]] within the Everwhen.
** Why are the Reds and Blues trapped in an imperfect recreation of BloodGulch?
Gulch? Because Chrovos was re-imprisoned by the Reds and Blues via Donut and The Hammer, their shared history before the Hammer-strike has become a collective "soft-time" singularity called the "Everwhen" where alternative timelines can be created, which if left to grow, will further weaken the strength of time itself and therefore Chrovos' new prison, making it easier for her to free herself and ravage the cosmos.
** Why does Church sound so weird and is clearly not voiced by BurnieBurns?
Burns? Because Genkins is able to "possess" [=A.I.s=] and [=A.I.-ready=] individuals within the Everwhen who aren't "unstuck in time" like the Reds and Blues are (i.e., Church), and is only pretending to play along to a degree so he can make events go OffTheRails and cause more alternate timelines to help free Chrovos.
