We use high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulations to model outflow
triggered by radiation and thermal drivers around the central mass accumulation
during direct collapse within the dark matter (DM) halo. The maximal resolution
is $1.3\times 10^{-5}$\,pc, and no restrictions are put on the geometry of the
inflow/outflow. The central mass is considered {\it prior} to the formation of
the supermassive black hole seed at a redshift of $z\sim 15.9$, and can
constitute either a supermassive star (SMS) of $\sim 10^5\,M_\odot$ surrounded
by a growing accretion disk or a self-gravitating disk. The radiation transfer
is modeled using the ray-tracing algorithm. Due to the high accretion rate of
$\sim 1\,M_\odot\,{\rm yr^{-1}}$ determined by the DM halo, accretion is mildly
supercritical, resulting in mildly super-critical luminosity which has only a
limited effect on the accretion rate, with the duty cycle of $\sim 0.9$. We
observe a fast development of hot cavities, which quickly extend into polar
funnels and expand dense shells. Within the funnels, fast winds, $\sim
10^3\,{\rm km\,s^{-1}}$, are mass-loaded by the accreting gas. We follow the
expanding shells to $\sim 1$\,pc, when the shell velocity remains
substantially, $\sim 5$ times, above the escape speed. The ionization cones
formed by the central UV/X-ray completely ionize the cavities. Extrapolating
the outflow properties shows that the halo material outside the shell will have
difficulty stopping it. We therefore conclude that the expanding wind-driven
shell will break out of the central parsec and will reach the halo virial
radius. Finally, the anisotropic accretion flow on sub-parsec scales will
attenuate the UV/soft X-rays on the H$_2$. Hence, the formation of funnels and
powerful outflows around, e.g., SMS, can have interesting observational
corollaries.
