Cleaning up all the mbers of the Black Sigil he could find, Maximus and his family prepared to return to the Etherium Realm.
Returning to the middle layer of the Dark Void Domain, Maximus instructed Eternal Voyager to head to the closest void outpost.
Because of the special nature of the Dark Void Domain and the thick dark energy, simultaneous communication wasn't feasible.
Wanting to warn the Absolutes about the dangers of the Black Sigil, Maximus could only tell them in person.
Arriving at the closest void outpost, they were welcod by Luck.
"Welco to the Virtual Void Outpost~. What brought you here, Maximus?"
"I'm here to tell you what I found in the core of the Dark Void Domain."
"You found sothing? What is it? Is it the reason why the Aeon Plane barrier started to crack?" Luck asked one after another, deducing various pieces of information from his words.
"Yes, the acceleration of the Dark Disaster was thanks to this variable..." Maximus stated solemnly.
Although he hadn't been able to interrogate a mber of the Black Sigil, Maximus was still able to extract various pieces of information.
From the fact that they road around the Dark Void Domain, it was clear they were the cause of the cracks in the plane's barrier.
"What kind of creature is it? Is it an outside force?"
"Hmm, the na of the organization is Black Sigil. Worshipers of the dark beast who have partial control of dark energy and wish to destroy everything."
"How powerful are they? Did you capture so of them?"
"Unfortunately, no. Those lunatics would commit suicide as soon as I captured them. As for their power, they were stronger than average, almost comparable to the top talents of the Aeon Plane."
Bombarded by such news, Luck couldn't help but pause.
With the Dark Disaster coming close and the intervention of such an organization, he didn't even know if the Aeon Plane was a cursed land.
How could danger after danger co to visit the Aeon Plane? Can't they get a break?
Initially, he wasn't sure if the Aeon Plane could survive the onslaught of the Dark Disaster. Now, with an outside organization coming into play, their survival suddenly seed almost impossible.
"You don't have to worry. I already cleaned up all the mbers of Black Sigil I could find."
"What about those you can't see?" Luck frowned.
Based on Maximus' description, the mbers of the Black Sigil were proficient in camouflage, almost blending into the dark energy.
"It's fine. The pseudo tier 13 array that the Overlords built is still useful. It should be able to limit the intervention of outside forces to the tier 10 realm."
The pseudo tier 13 array the Overlords built wasn't just to bar dark beasts from entering, but mainly to prevent outside forces from intervening.
Based on the power of the array and the Aeon Plane's barrier, the limit of an external force that could enter was at the tier 10 realm.
Unlike the dark beasts, which could easily penetrate the Aeon Plane, any conscious being would be heavily rejected due to their different origin and power source.
"Is that so? It seems we are safe for the ti being..." Luck sighed in relief.
Even if a few wild ones managed to escape Maximus' grasp, a few tier 10 beings weren't much of a concern.
"Don't worry too much. If we're lucky, the Dark Disaster won't co for another ten million years." Maximus smiled.
"Isn't that because of the array?"
"You caught on quickly. That's right—with sufficient energy, the array should be able to protect the Aeon Plane much longer."
"Great! With your physique, we could power the array to full capacity without worrying about energy shortage." Luck nodded in excitent.
With Maximus' physique and the array, they should be able to buy more ti for the Aeon Plane to develop.
"Don't be too happy, there's still a variable we need to watch out for."
"The Black Sigil?"
"Hmm, we can only react to what they do next."
Having killed all the mbers of the Black Sigil that entered the Aeon Plane, it should have alerted the enemy.
Not knowing what the enemy could do, they could only be careful in the ti ahead.
Soon, after discussing more details and telling Luck to pass on the ssage to the other void outposts, Maximus took his family and returned.

Outside the Aeon Plane, in the depths of the dark beast swarms.
Vamos, a Herald of the Black Sigil, a powerhouse comparable to a tier 12 Overlord, noticed the disappearance of the Hollows inside the Aeon Plane.
"What happened? Could they have been discovered?"
Although the Hollows were re tier 10 cannon fodder mbers of the Black Sigil, they were not sothing a tier 12 Plane could quickly kill.
Frowning, Vamos began to control lower-tier dark beasts to see if he could contact the Hollows inside.
---
Soon, after months of attempts, the Hollows seed to have fallen into an abyss, never to be seen again.
Furthermore, when he tried to send other Hollows, they encountered strong resistance, preventing them from going inside.
"I didn't expect them to react so quickly..."
Having confird the demise of the Hollows, Vamos could only praise the alertness of the Aeon Plane.
One of the Archons of End, a leader of the Black Sigil, had tasked him and the other Heralds to erase key planes that would be an obstacle to the destruction of the Planar Chaotic Region.
Among them, the Aeon Plane was one of the targets.
Initially, seeing they hadn't even repelled a low-scale Dark Disaster, he looked down on the Aeon Plane's ability.
However, their fast reaction just now proved the uniqueness of the Aeon Plane.
Feeling that he had underestimated the enemy, a glint of evil flashed in his eyes.
"No matter how fast you react, if you don't have the ability to expel a re low-scale Dark Disaster, then it's all for nothing..."
Targeting the clueless tier 13 dark beast from afar, Vamos began inscribing Dark Sigil Arrays, attracting and condensing the dark energy around.
Growing denser and more nurous, the dark beast swarm began to expand, enhancing the scale of the Dark Disaster to a higher level.
"Hmph! After a few million years, the scale of the Dark Disaster should grow to a dium scale," Vamos smiled.
Standing back, he began to wait for the Dark Disaster to grow until it breaks the Aeon Plane.
"Soon..."
