Nick went deep underground and flew towards Aegis' headquarters.
The next knowledge repository was below the old city of New York.
It was risky for Nick to come anywhere close to Death, but he had no other choice.
Luckily, the ground was amazing at isolating senses, and the base was so far underground that Death probably never saw it.
Nick went deeper into the ground.
Ten kilometers.
Twenty kilometers.
Thirty kilometers.
At a depth of 100 kilometers, he stopped descending.
The surroundings were so incredibly hot and chaotic that even Nick's senses were disoriented.
However, he could still withstand it.
Even a Demon would be able to withstand the heat, but it would not be pleasant.
Due to the distorting effects on Nick's senses, it took him several hours to actually find the base.
