Giving Away a Sage Core

With a shift through space-time, Shamu arrived in a separate dimension.

It was incredibly barren, filled entirely with rocks. There was not even a single tree.

Flying through the air, Shamu quickly spotted a building in the distance.

He flew over and swiftly searched it.

However, aside from numerous marks left by equipment that had once been placed here, everything had been moved out.

There was clearly the aura of the Ten-Tails inside the rooms, but the Ten-Tails was no longer here.

The only person who could find—or come to—this place was Amado.

Urashiki was highly vigilant. A conflict would definitely have broken out immediately.

But technological surveillance could not transmit signals across dimensions.

Or was it something else?

Judging from when the equipment had been moved, Amado should have cleared this place out much earlier.
