The sudden realization sent a shiver down Balin's spine. Even though he hadn’t yet managed to penetrate the formation to uncover its secrets, the power exhibited by the monks at the end of the Dharma Era was enough to instill fear in him.
He started contemplating his options. After all, he was out of alternatives, so he decided to remain here and contend with this ancient formation. The timeline he had in mind was aligned with the arrival of the Antarctic summer when the Devil's Westerly Belt would again be navigable.
If he could discover a breakthrough point before the summer arrived, it would bring joy to everyone involved. But if he didn’t succeed by then, he would honestly return to the Warriors Den meeting and proactively report his findings to Morgana. At that time, he would divulge everything about Antarctica to Morgana. Even if she chastised him for withholding information regarding the legend of the Ascension Gate, he could play the part of someone who was merely oblivious and claim it was all just a coincidence, all while presenting this ancient formation to her to take credit.
This formation was so formidable that Morgana would never be able to dismantle it. By the time that came, he would have said everything necessary. Besides, his purpose for venturing out was to seek opportunities for Morgana. Even if she was displeased, she wouldn’t take action against him.
On a practical note, if Morgana could break this formation, she wouldn’t incur any losses. Should she gain significant benefits, she would certainly appreciate it. After all, who would be willing to work for her if she didn’t treat them fairly?
