The Omnis had already adapted to the dark energy.
Though they couldn't generate it, they could manipulate the surrounding dark energy to shroud themselves.
Even before, when an Omni latched onto a Tier 13 dark beast roaming the Aeon Plane, it didn't react.
Yet now, staring at the giant eye quietly scrutinizing one of the Omnis, Maximus couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Is this a special dark beast?" he guessed.
Special dark beasts, or Origin Dark Beasts, were parasitic entities that grew within a plane, siphoning its energy.
Recalling the time he fought an Origin Dark Beast in the Outer Plane, Maximus felt solemn in his heart.
That beast, only at the Tier 11 realm, had required both his and Zar's combined power to defeat.
Though not stronger than a Tier 12 dark beast, its abilities and intelligence far surpassed them.
Now, sensing the same aura emanating from the giant eye scrutinizing the Omni, Maximus felt a chill.
