Creation Of All Things-Chapter 142: Leaving Earth 2

"Copy that. Initiating break orbit."

Outside, the view shifted. The stars stretched.

The room vibrated softly—subtle but impossible to ignore—as the ship detached from Earth's orbit.

A low thrummmm echoed.

"Leaving Earth in three… two…"

Then—

WHOOSH.

Space bent. The stars turned into blurs. Earth vanished behind a shimmering distortion as the ship slipped into interspace.

Everyone leaned back.

Even the air changed.

Silence fell again—this time deeper. Colder.

Theo cracked his neck, let out a low whistle.

"We're in the stream. Clean jump."

Lyra gave a small nod. "Feels stable."

"Barely felt it," Luno added.

Adam finally turned.

"Good."

He walked toward the center of the deck where a circular platform lit up beneath his steps. Everyone watched him, quiet.

"I know you've all got questions," he said, looking around at the mix of Earth's strongest.

Some stood, some sat. Some tried to act like they weren't staring. But they were.

He pointed at the glowing map of the galaxy above the platform.

"Out there," he said, "things aren't like home. There are rules. Territories. Empires. Monsters. And people who will not like the idea of Earth stepping into their sandbox."

Jordan leaned against a wall, arms crossed.

"So… what? We're gonna piss them off just by existing?"

Adam smirked. "Pretty much."

Raina, sitting on a crate near the back, raised a hand lazily. "Do we get cool uniforms?"

"No," Adam replied. "You'd ruin it with oil stains."

"I feel attacked," Theo muttered.

Yara didn't flinch. "Commander suggestion: run drills. We need to know who's useful and who's just vibing."

"Agreed," Adam nodded. "Tomorrow. Full simulation. You'll be split into squads."

Someone groaned from the corner.

"Let me guess… we don't get to choose teams?"

"Nope," Adam said, already turning back toward the window.

From the psychic cockpit, Lyra's voice drifted. "The ship likes him."

Luno added, "It's weird. But kinda cool."

Adam chuckled under his breath.

"I built half of it. I'd be worried if it didn't."

Yara glanced at him, her expression unreadable. "So where's the first stop, Captain?"

Adam narrowed his eyes at the stars shifting ahead.

"…Vorellus."

A sharp silence followed.

Even Theo's smile dropped.

"Seriously?" he asked. "That's pirate territory. Nobody goes to Vorellus unless they've got a death wish or a debt."

Adam shrugged.

"We've got both."

No one said a word.

Tension prickled like static.

Then—

Jordan let out a low whistle. "Yup. Definitely final boss energy."

Adam turned his head slightly, lips twitching.

"Good. Because we're just getting started."

Meanwhile—back on Earth…

A clone of Adam hovered in the void, just outside the planet's atmosphere. His coat swayed with the slow ripple of space, eyes glowing faintly as he stared down at the blue planet below.

His hands moved lazily, but the things he created… were anything but small.

First came the beasts—massive, silent titans of the stars.

One looked like a whale made of obsidian and starlight, its body long and smooth, with glowing blue veins pulsing across its sides. It swam through the vacuum like water, no wings, no thrusters—just pure grace. Another had the shape of a lion, but with a metallic mane and comet-like tails flicking behind it. A third, even stranger, floated nearby, shaped like a jellyfish made of pure energy, its tendrils humming like ancient chimes.

They circled Earth in formation, like guardians assigned to an ancient temple.

Next, Adam lifted a hand.

Thin lines of light snapped out like cracks in the dark, then spread—forming a massive, translucent sphere around the planet. From a distance, it looked like Earth had been wrapped in a glass dome, shimmering gently with shifting colors. Meteors bounced off it and dissolved like smoke. It breathed like a living thing.

A soft hum pulsed across the barrier. Then it went still.

Inside the dome, Earth's atmosphere adjusted slightly. Cleaner. Sharper. A little faster.

He was already moving on.

With a flick of his wrist, several enormous platforms appeared in orbit. Smooth black metal with violet lights along the edges. Each one rotated slowly, symbols glowing on their surface. These were the teleportation stations—gateways connecting Earth to Virelia.

He linked them in a rhythm, forming a ring above the Earth like a halo of gateways.

Pillars rose from each one, forming conduits of energy that reached into space like searchlights. Portals sparked to life at their cores—stable, quiet, glowing.

One of the space beasts floated past one, nudging it like a lazy dog sniffing a bone.

Adam's clone looked satisfied. Not proud. Just… done.

He turned slightly, eyes focused somewhere far off.

A silent thought passed through the void:

"Next."

And with that, he vanished, leaving the beasts drifting calmly, the barrier humming gently, and the portals pulsing—ready to connect two worlds.

Back at mothership

Adam stood still, quietly watching the vast stretch of space, hands behind his back as stars blinked lazily in the distance.

Suddenly, the space beside him rippled—like water disturbed by a gentle breeze—and a woman appeared. She looked to be in her early 30s, with sharp eyes and an air of calm confidence.

Adam didn't flinch. He just smiled and turned his head slightly.

"Alice, my favorite cousin," he said, grinning.

Alice gave him a sideways glance, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"I'm the only cousin you've ever had or known," she replied, her tone playful.
