After Boluoye left, Kant quietly formed a Mind Tether and pulled Sanders into the "group chat" as well.
The moment the Mind Tether connected, Sanders heard Nis say, "Should we leave now?"
Everyone nodded silently.
Boluoye's arrival had given them quite a fright, but it had not come without benefits.
That immense pressure had cowed the sea beasts in the surrounding waters into near immobility, and No. 03's movements had slowed as well. In other words, it had not only restrained No. 03's actions, but also delayed the fruit's ripening.
This meant they no longer had to wear themselves out confronting the threat of the mysterious fruit.
However, the pressure blanketing everything also prevented them from using the Planar Corridor to leave. Forcing the Planar Corridor open could very likely result in spatial collapse.
"Then let's leave first and head to Reefrock Island." Nis paused. "I already told Feiluo to wait for us there as well."
Angel nodded too. "All right."
Nausicaa had previously been arranged by Nis to wait on Reefrock Island, and Cindy and the others, who had followed Feiluo into the Mist Belt for a mission last time, were there too. So, no matter what, they had to make a trip to Reefrock Island.
Moreover, Reefrock Island was already near the edge of the Mist Belt. It should have escaped the range of the pressure, allowing them to use the Planar Corridor there. Even if they did not use the Planar Corridor, they could hide in the endless cracks between spaces if they encountered danger, giving their safety a certain measure of assurance.

Before leaving, Angel gave the Observer a deep bow and sincerely thanked him.
The Observer might have appeared to do nothing, but twisted laws had been constantly spilling out
