And over there, the Gemara compares and contrasts and says, but in contradistinction, when it comes to an individual, hu rak b'hi matzai, this power to rescind an evil decree, to have this kind of efficacy is only when Hashem is found.

But going back to the Rambam's Hilchos Tshuva, we don't find that the Rambam should reference, should mention even, the idea of an evil decree.

But rather, he contextualizes this in terms of repenting, in terms of returning to Hashem, that during these 10 days, that it is easier to do tshuva, or there's something special about the tshuva that can be done during this time, and it is immediately accepted by Hashem.

that in addition to the fact that Hashem accepts the tshuva immediately during this time of the year, the tshuva itself is of a different quality.
