This is like saying "as a result" or "because of this." It shows a clear, direct link between what happened and what followed. It is not a coincidence.

This grammar shows a result. Other similar grammar adds feelings. For example, 〜の末に (no-sue-ni) means much time or effort was used. 〜あげく(に) (ageku-ni) means a bad process led to a bad result. 〜の果てに (no-hate-ni) means a big process led to a big result. This grammar just states the result simply. It does not add extra feelings about the process.

Use this when you want to show the result of something. It helps you explain what happened because of an action or event. It connects the cause to the effect.
