After leaving the sub-dimension, I was greeted by the dark place Atlantis had become after the Artificial Intelligence turned off to recuperate from using up his stored Source Energy to power up the place.

Thankfully, I got the Legacy from Huang and included there was an emergency exit that I could use. Or… I could just exercise the World's Will's Authority to open a portal out of this place.

With the Artificial Intelligence and the gigantic machine down, this place was now harmless. Those Automatons were back to being lumps of metals.

Nonetheless, accessing this place from the outside would be near impossible.

Well, to not disturb this place until its next opening, I refrained from opening a Portal inside and just moved myself to the location of the Emergency Exit.

Perhaps it's wrong to call that Emergency Exit. It's actually an Escape Route in case this place was raided by enemies a lot stronger than Huang.

When I reached that passageway, it appeared to be an ordinary wall. However, just by standing in front of it, the small storage device that I got from Huang as part of his Legacy lit up and shined towards the wall.

As if recognizing its master, the wall emitted mechanical sounds before seemingly cracking as it gradually opened, revealing a door.

Without hesitation, I entered it and an obscure water tunnel appeared before me.

This was supposed to be invisible if one was looking from the outside and it would lead to a place that was far away from Atlantis. It's an Escape Route so… it ensured the safety of whoever would use it.

By the time I reached the end of the passageway, I already messaged all of my Companions including those not on Earth like Ophelia and Lexie to check and ask them about the gains they received from the Shared Growth.

Apart from that, I also responded to Alwyn's messages that I forgot to respond to because of how I was fully focused on absorbing. At first, her message was only annoyed that she was actually sent by Illiana to retrieve something and she's asking me for advice on whether to land on a planet with Source Energy or a Chaosworld. But as time went by, the woman became angry and began nagging at me. And that was most of the contents of her messages.

However, the final message I received from her told me that she was running out of time so she was going to land on the planet with Source Energy instead.

Starting with an apology as my response, I sent her successive messages to ask about her situation.

However, even after an hour had already passed, I still hadn't received an update from her.

I had no idea if she landed successfully or if some mishaps happened. However, given that her crystal was still intact, she's still alive wherever she was at the moment.

Perhaps she was only upset with me that's why she's not replying but… I couldn't help but worry. She might not be my Companion but I owe her my life. Moreover, she was sent on a task that was supposed to help me. I couldn't just turn a blind eye to that.

”Should I contact… Illiana? But I have no means to do that at the moment.”

After sighing deeply and shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I stepped out of the passageway and returned to the surface.

I could wait for at least a day, if Alwyn remained silent, I had to assume the worst and look for a way to contact someone from the Dark World. And I already had a certain someone in my mind…

Remilia.
