But Chirox had voiced doubt. Before the schism hardened, he asked KalmahKalmahA red-and-black Barraki warlord of the League of Six Kingdoms, imprisoned in the Pit and mutated into permanent aquatic form. what would happen to the territories outside TeridaxTeridaxTeridax orchestrated a thousand-year scheme that ended with him occupying the Great Spirit Robot itself before his death on Bara Magna.'s control: ArtakhaArtakhaArtakha was the master craftsman of the Matoran Universe, ruler of a hidden island, and the forger of the Toa Mata, the Avohkii, and the Kraahkan., Metru NuiMetru NuiThe city beneath Mata Nui functions as the Great Spirit's brain, housing the Matoran whose labor keeps the god alive., the unknown southern lands. The question went unanswered. He followed anyway.

The Invasion and the Plague#

He engaged the Toa directly. When he faced PohatuPohatuPohatu was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Stone, guardian of Po-Wahi, whose speed and steady humour anchored the team through every era of the Matoran Universe., he struck with confidence, warning the Toa that a single blow would not decide the outcome. To KopakaKopakaKopaka was the Toa Nuva of Ice, deputy commander of the Toa Mata, and one of the six warriors crafted on Artakha to defend the Matoran Universe., he boasted of MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. superiority, explaining that the MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. could strike down their enemies without needing their physical forms, requiring neither movement nor physical effort. What Chirox discovered during the invasion would undermine that boast.

A greenish-black mist rose from within armor shells. MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. were degenerating into protodermis itself. Chirox examined samples, ran tests, and reported back. The Brotherhood's very nature was breaking down. When MatoroMatoroA quiet Ko-Matoran translator who became a Toa Inika and then a Toa Mahri, Matoro gave his life with the Mask of Life to restore Mata Nui. wielded the Ignika and reset the world, Chirox was erased along with his brothers, leaving only the question he had asked years before: What happens to the territories no one wanted to conquer?
