Since the Primordial Ascension had occurred, phones had stopped working. The internet shut down, and even the frequency of radios didn't work properly anymore.
This was one of the biggest reasons for many humans to freak out. They wanted to reunite with their families, or at least hear that they were fine.
However, without the internet, no working phones, and no other way to contact someone, this was impossible.
The incapability to converse over a long distance since the advent of Primordial Ascension was also the reason why everyone looked at Dilan as if he was an Evil Sorcerer, who was about to cast some spells on them.
Mayor Clerens' eyes were fixated on the device in Dilan's hand, and many others were doing exactly the same.
Meanwhile, Dilan could only smile after seeing their reaction.
