After finding Hatred, Nick retreated.
If he dealt with Hatred right now, it would be too suspicious.
He hadn't even needed a day to find Hatred, and if Aegis or Death found out about it, they would be too shocked.
So, for the next five years, Nick went back to the underground city and continued transcribing knowledge.
From time to time, he returned to the surface to give the Champion an update.
After the five years, Nick decided that it was time.
The first thing he did was go towards Aegis headquarters to talk to the Technician.
They had much more advanced technology, and Nick decided to invent a little thing with the Technician that would help in coordinating the attack.
Every time a Corruptor was destroyed, the world would enter a huge battle.
They wanted to change that this time.
They didn't want to give any of the Trio a chance to strike humanity.
Sometime later, the Specters noticed something.
