The Blackout, also known as The Nothing or The Black Hole, was the aftermath of The End event in Season X. It was present for 36 hours.

Origin

Origin[]

After the Meteor destroyed the rift zone around The Zero Point sphere, it caused the frozen Zero Point's explosion to unfreeze (due to The Scientist stopping the explosion in the beginning of Season X) and created a whirlpool which contained everything into the Nexus. It then resulted in The Nothing appearing in the screen. This Blackout ended when the Black Hole imploded, and spit out Reality Zero, and caused Apollo and Artemis to be formed from Athena's Matter.

Secret message[]

Throughout the duration of The Blackout, numbers appeared around the Black Hole which form a message when matched with the words in Visitor Tapes. The numbers started repeating, 11, 146, 15, 62, 87, 14, 106, 2, 150, 69, 146, 15, 36, 2, 176, 8, 160, 65, 176, 11, 146, 15, 62. When put into comparison by the number of words in all of the Visitor's recordings from the Season 10 Out of Time Challenges, it states "I was not alone, others are outside the loop, this was not calculated, The Nothing is now inevitable".
