[——Superspace Vortex Sealing Array——]
The Fragment of Demise is about to break the seal, but because Ian chose to interrupt the advancement into Star God, the endless aether from the Great Aether Circulation vanished, so the power of the Fragment of Demise to break the seal also began to decrease.
As for the 'Great Demise' outside, Ian in Star God state has already confirmed through super-dimensional perception that the opponent's actions have stopped—the amount of aether that could enable it to act can only be provided by a fully operational Perpetual Motion Machine. The moment he stopped advancing into Star God, the opponent was already unable to move.
It seems that the aether from the outer universe has been entirely reclaimed... As long as the Cradle is repaired, the 'Great Demise' cannot enter, and it wouldn't matter how the Perpetual Motion Machine and Star God advancement are activated.
