Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Edge of Truth

While everyone was still immersed in shock and astonishment, Atlas’s figure leaped like a ghost and fell from the top of the building.

His footsteps were light but carried an inexplicable pressure. His white shirt fluttered in the night, and without a single extra movement, he landed steadily in front of Liora.

"Follow me."

His tone was indifferent, and Liora could not refuse. He reached out, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her away from the crowd.

Liora was stunned and had no time to react. Everyone had not yet recovered from the miracle of the repair just now, and could only watch the two figures gradually disappear at the edge of the base.

Xu Kai stood in the crowd, looking at their departing figures with deep eyes, and clenched his fists slowly.

His eyes were dark, and at that moment, no one could read his inner thoughts.

But he did not speak, nor did he pause for too long. The next second, he turned around and walked toward the survivors who were still lying on the ground.

"Go call the medical team and bring them to the clinic." He ordered calmly.

The others reacted and came forward to help. Mei bit her lip tightly, her eyes still full of shock, and hurried to Yan Lin and Lin Ci, who were still dazed.

"Don’t just stand there! Save people!"

For a moment, the base was noisy again, but this noise was accompanied by deep fear and awe.

———

On the other side, at the edge of the base, Liora finally caught her breath.

"Why did you suddenly drag me out..." She was stunned. Before she could finish her words, Atlas took out a crystal‑like shining ball from his arms.

"Teleportation ball again?" She exclaimed subconsciously.

How could such a high‑tech product be possessed by an ordinary planet? The one in her hand had been "casually" thrown to her by Atlas when they first met. Now he took out another one, and Liora looked at him suspiciously.

Atlas did not respond, but silently activated the teleportation ball.

The space twisted in an instant. Liora felt the center of gravity under her feet vanish, and her whole body was swept into a strange wave.

In the blink of an eye, the world changed.

When she landed, a warm and soft light bathed her. Liora couldn’t help but narrow her eyes slightly.

After she adjusted to the light, she finally saw the world in front of her clearly—

Here... seemed to be a house? But it was definitely not any architectural style she was familiar with. To be precise, it was more like the interior of a futuristic space capsule, blending technology and art in an indescribable way.

The room was an arc‑shaped structure, its walls covered with silky‑smooth metal panels.

The floor under her feet was light gold, and every step she took had a subtle rebound, making her feel as if she walked on gentle air—stable yet light. It was neither metal, nor wood, nor stone, and the touch was so strange it defied description.

The space was not large, only about forty square meters, but the layout was extremely efficient. On the left was a streamlined sofa, snow‑white and made of unknown materials, yet as soft as a cloud.

In the center of the room stood a transparent coffee table, with a faint blue light ring floating at its edge. A few "books" rested on it—but these were not paper volumes; they were suspended three‑dimensional images that swayed gently with her gaze, as if responding to her curiosity.

No obvious light source could be seen on the walls, yet the whole space remained bathed in a soft, warm glow, free of shadows and dead corners, giving the room a dreamlike quality. Through an oval "window" in the distance, she beheld a sight that made her hold her breath—

Outside the window stretched a vast sea of stars.

Liora was stunned.

She even began to wonder if she had leapt from a dying wasteland base into a completely different universe.

"Where is this place?" she whispered to herself.

Before she could ponder further, a subtle metallic click broke the silence.

"Welcome. Please enjoy your drink!"

"Ah—!" she jumped back reflexively and looked toward the voice.

In the corner of the room, a concealed door slid open, and a small robot glided out leisurely.

It was only half a person’s height, its form rounded and cloaked in a soft silver shell. A transparent halo hovered above its head. Its body shape lay somewhere between a cleaning droid and a vertical refrigerator. It held a floating tray bearing two cups of orange‑red liquid.

The little robot stopped before her, as if aware of her gaze. A round, smiling cartoon face flickered onto its facial projection, and it blinked.

"Please enjoy your drink\~ Today’s temperature is set to a constant 23 degrees, and heart‑rate monitoring is normal. Please relax."

Liora was petrified.

"This voice... Wait, how is this voice exactly the same as my system?!" she nearly screamed.

Her mind spun; she almost suspected her system had escaped into the real world.

Atlas, standing beside her, watched her expression shift and finally chuckled.

"Sit down." He said as he took one of the glasses of juice, treating this place as naturally as if it were home.

Liora hesitated, then sat down slowly.

She looked at the glass of bright juice in her hand, and just as she was about to set it down, she saw Atlas take a sip.

She lifted the glass to her lips and sampled the drink—the fruity aroma was rich, slightly sweet with a hint of mint, and the moment it touched her tongue, her tense nerves seemed to relax.

...Delicious.

She drank it in one breath, surprising even herself.

When she glanced at Atlas again, he was savoring the drink while watching her reaction.

Liora finally could not hold back and blurted out all her questions.

"Who... are you?" she demanded, meeting his gaze.

"That silver‑haired man... Kazren—he called you the ’young master’ of the Veritas family."

"What are the Empires and Spires you mentioned?"

"This planet can’t possibly produce the teleportation ball in your hand, nor could it repair an entire building... You don’t belong here at all, do you?"

Atlas listened quietly without interrupting.

Once her emotions had settled, he sat up straight and regarded her seriously with a hint of gravity in his eyes.

He stared into her eyes, his voice low and steady"

"...Do you know that this world is not the only planet in the universe?"
