Two days later,
Lux and Earth's top forces were gathered in Antarctica, using Khione's and others' clues as the still-not-buried-by-snow footsteps of the Trepian Empire.
They managed to pinpoint the rough location of the zone they were transported to.
Because Lux wanted to do the exact same thing as them, but reverse-engineering the process, it was a bit more complicated.
At the same time, it wasn't as complicated as everyone expected it to be, especially because Khione and Lydia were both there, one with enough knowledge, the other with the means.
Working together, they quickly sensed the spatial channel linking Earth to the Moon.
After a while, even Lux could feel it. "Everyone, fall back," he said without explaining.
Lux moved forward slowly, and the others backed away, curiously gazing at him, waiting to see what he was about to do.
