Alex considered his choice, then finally decided. 'There's no way I can do this without triggering an alert. In that case... my best path is to trigger it on purpose.'
Since he couldn't avoid it, might as well do it while controlling the result like he wanted. Alex's abilities churned as he planned his next move, then he started.
A faint surge of mana pulsed, triggering a subtle change in the liquid.
In the next instant, Alex returned to the game world.
His eyes opened, locking onto Jack's mother. With a single motion, he put her to sleep, then gently laid her on the bed. "Now I just need to see the result."
The moment he returned, alarms blared across the entire room. An anomaly had been detected.
In one of the chambers, a translucent pod stirred. Aira ripped off her VR headset. "What the hell is happening now!?"
"Lady Aira, anomaly has been detected inside the extraction chamber. Prevention measure will be implemented shortly. Code 789."
