Lumian had always thought Wanak, who could draw power from 0-01, was more dangerous than Albus and Julie. This lightning-filled area was perfect for Wanak to unleash his potential.
No matter if Wanak could only change the weather slightly or if he was on par with Julie and Celeste, who could become vessels for a deity's descent, in this forest of lightning, he was as powerful as a true demigod.
Together, Albus and I would get beaten up by the thunderstorm… Lumian's first instinct was to exit this area and find another path to 0-01. That way, even if Wanak pursued him, outside his optimal environment, he wouldn't be invincible.
In a flash, Lumian remembered the nightmares he had.
After the forest of lightning, there were mountains of corpses and bones, with 0-01 possibly at the peak.
This meant this was the only way to the core sealing area—there was no way around it!
