Chapter 9.5 - Get Up!

The tunnels were flooded with screams of panic. Walls were crumbling, merchandise was falling, making people trip over each other, adding more chaos to the crowd.

"What is he doing?" Shu said to themself, though Hikari was by their side.

Both Deities were still in the tunnels, looking for Adam but with no luck. They had lost him a while ago, and Hikari was feeling responsible.

"We need to get these people out of here." the Fire Goddess said to her partner. They would have to split. "You guide the crowd out; use all means necessary. We're past disguises now."

Already lifting off the ground, Shu nodded as they ascended above the chaos.

"Everyone!" Using air to amplify their voice, Shu shouted so loudly the crowd went quiet for a second. "Head outside for evacuation now!"

Lifting herself, Hikari had no idea how to find Adam in that maze, except... There was one way—it was a long shot, but it was better than looking in every room aimlessly.
