The outsiders' return to the Black Flame Maw Position was not just to retrieve Lord Hether's relics; they had other objectives here as well.
However, the emergence of the Lord of Darkness's infection signifies a rather terrifying omen. Although Lord Hether and the released Lord of Darkness have been swept into the depths of the Star Realm, before being exiled from the material world, the Evil God likely already spread his power.
The spread took form just like the chosen hunters Grand Marshal Huggson observed in Moss Valley.
Given the Lord of Darkness's current state, his chosen one has to be the unwilling Lord Hether, but that doesn't mean he can't use his power higher than reality to create a batch of "dark chosen ones."
Considering the extreme scenario, perhaps the Lord of Darkness's chosen ones are still trapped in the ruins of the position and haven't left.
