[You have entered a restrained Space]

[Your Source Energy efficiency will be reduced to 50%]

[Your Adaptability mitigated the restriction to 10% effectiveness]

[Master is basically only 5% weaker here]

Reading that series of notifications that had a comment from the awakened Incarnation of the 'The World', I couldn't help but smile.

Looking at my left and right, Reinys and Elise slightly frowned at the restriction they received. However, they also eased up after the Flux Energy State mitigated some of the restrictions.

I already told them about the restriction before coming here so… they didn't say anything about it and just prepared themselves for anything that could happen.

Before moving on, I contacted every team of my Companions to check on which part of the Atlantis they were sent.

Well, the random teleportation was only activated due to its current condition. We could actually be teleported to the same places and explore together from there but… there's no point doing that here. It would just hinder everyone's training and their hidden desire to become someone that wouldn't always rely on me or my skills that could overly enhance their strengths.

As we began moving inwards, we were immediately met with a room that has a tall ceiling and a highly sophisticated wide room that truly screams 'future'.

Although they were somewhat filled with moss, no rust could be found in them.

Being thousands of years under the sea that didn't contain any trace of Source Energy wasn't something that could erode it. Well, it rose every once in a while and would disappear again which became the source of the legend of the lost city.

If at first I took the front and the two girls remained behind me, as vigilant as ever, as soon as we reached the area that was brightly lit, Elise and Reinys stepped forward and raised their weapons. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Nonetheless, there's really no danger around so the two soon relaxed.

Back in my past life, I didn't really try to see this place. It's a waste disposal site so this was also the first time for me ever stepping foot in here.

There's nothing of worth that I could take here when we were at our peak. Besides, Yuko's family could provide us what we needed. She became the strongest Sage of the family after all. Due to how she was always exploring with me, she left the management of their Noble House to her parents and close relatives.

With only our footsteps and sounds of breathing becoming the only thing we could hear, we began observing the place.

This wide room we arrived in was brightly lit by a lightbulb that was clearly being powered by Source Energy. The walls were also blinking as if we were in a futuristic sci-fi movie or inside a spaceship that seemed to have its walls filled with devices that were crucial to the ship.

Well, most of these blinking lights embedded on the walls were just a decoration. True, Source Energy was circulating through it to let it light up but there's no grand function for it.

"Reinys, Elise, we're at what you call a reception. Look, there's a desk in front. As for which part of the place we were teleported in… let me check first." I pointed at the obvious desk that should be manned by someone or an automaton, behind it was a waiting area filled with comfortable seats and further beyond it were doors that lead to who knows where.

On one of the pillars supporting the ceiling was a projected map of the Area powered again with Source Energy.

As I walked towards it, Reinys and Elise followed me, still vigilant that someone or something would pop out anywhere.

I wasn't worried about my Companions that were exploring somewhere inside this place, they trained and better themselves for the past month that passed. Some of them were already so used to each other's abilities that they could complement it with their own, becoming a combination attack that would exceed the power of a Rank 2 Transcendent.

Whatever they find here, it would surely be a great asset that we would be bringing outside the Earth. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Looking at the huge map that marked different areas of this place as well as a smaller map that depicted the places one could go without being warned or treated as an intruder, we began studying it and remembered everything. The safe places were marked with green and the others were in red or orange.

"Let's see. There should be an automaton posted here. However, because this place was considered close by the system running and monitoring the place, they were pulled back to those top-secret facilities that have their own functions."

As I traced my fingers to it and swiped it to the left, the projected map changed and began showing another huge facility and the direction to reach it.

"This is where the World Zone Navigator should be located. The Deep Space Department. It will be filled with junk that concerns it so… we might even find a better Space Vessel than what we got from the invaders from those Invasive Worlds." I said before magnifying the place which showed a still image of the place. It was still looking magnificent in it but the same as this place, which should be covered with moss as well.

"Uh… we're too far from it, Daisuke," Elise commented and began pointing at the distance of the reception to the Deep Space Department that was located at the back of this Waste Disposal Site.

Reinys also commented that she felt and heard something nearby. Just beyond the door behind the reception desk and chairs for guests.

Something like a clank of metal but no fluctuations of Energy.

No doubt, what she heard was the Automatons patrolling outside this reception area. They should be at least Rank 2 Transcendent or weaker depending on the color of their metal.

Bronze Automatons were only as strong as peak Rank 1 Transcendent.

Silver Automatons were as strong as normal Rank 2 Transcendent.

Gold Automatons were as strong as peak Rank 2 Transcendent.

There were more above it but those were disabled by the World's Will to my request.

"Don't worry. Although the use of Source Energy was somewhat restricted here... You two were already strong enough to fight a Rank 3 Transcendent with 900 UPL." Assuring them by letting them remember how they fare against Longi, the two nodded confidently and began following me to the door that would lead us to the Deep Space Department.

Shiiik!

The Doors were automatic as well so as soon as we got detected approaching it, the wide door opened from the middle revealing the spacious grounds laden with rails where carts and little trains could be seen moving about.

And around it, were Automatons of Bronze and Silver.

"Are we going to rush in and destroy all of them?" Reinys asked after seeing the density of Automatons around.

Although they could already see us, they wouldn't attack as long as we didn't leave the interior of this reception area.

"Can you act as an Automaton and mask your life force?"

"Tsk. This guy. I'm asking properly."

"And I am answering properly. I can use the Void Concealment and take us somewhere else but… where's the fun in that?"

"Sometimes, he's really this hateful Reinys. Let's show what we can do against these lumps of metals." Elise interjected while showing a slight indifference to her expression for my teasing of Reinys. Nonetheless, she returned back to normal as her Giant Flamebird chirped out and flew out from her shoulders while gradually enlarging itself.
