After giving Augustus the gift he had promised,
Annan left Heath Tower of Black with Isaac and headed for the Royal Capital of Noah.
Before Annan had entered Bernardino's nightmare, the "ownership" of Isaac had already been transferred to Annan by Hugo.
Although Isaac appeared to be no different from ordinary people, his essence was still that of an artificially created human—his body was manufactured, his soul was fabricated, and his memories were plainly from the dead.
To prevent the recurrence of Nicolas II's situation, it was necessary to have contingency plans in place.
That is, the terminal permissions to control Isaac.
Hugo had already transferred this authority to Annan... although Annan had no intention of using it.
It was precisely for this reason that Annan could meet Bernardino's nightmare requirements.
...This was, in fact, Hugo dealing with his own legacy in advance.
He felt that he was close to death and there was really no need to take anything with him.
