Keno began to feel a fuzziness in his head, and he felt some fragments of memory returning to him—of the world descending into chaos, of the robot rebellion. He put his hand to his head, his pupils dilating with astonishment as he stared at Leonis, thunderstruck.

"If this nonsense you're talking about is true, then why did the people of Atlantis take our planet? And why is there a city on our planet called Atlantis that disappeared long ago and is similar to the name of this planet?"

Leonis looked at him, analyzing his reaction and the expressions on his face, which revealed much, to see if he believed him or not. Then he said, "Our masters were extremely intelligent, as I mentioned. And this planet of ours is the only planet they can live on. They need oxygen and water, as you can see, just as you do. But being forced to flee the planet because of us made them turn to another source, or else extinction would have been their fate. They discovered your planet after a long search—the perfect blue planet that would be the ideal home for them to reproduce again and live in safety. But unfortunately for them, they found other creatures living on it. And the planet has a rich history. So they began to watch you closely to learn everything about you, and they saw that you did not deserve this planet. You are corrupt and merciless creatures. And so they decided to exploit this for their own benefit. They exploited the corrupt and weak souls among your politicians, and they began to deceive them and promise them unimaginable power and knowledge that transcends boundaries. They even promised them the most important thing they had always wished for: immortality. As for the similarity between the name of this planet and a city on your planet, this may be because our masters visited Earth before and told you that they came from Atlantis. But it seems that the matter was distorted over time, and the planet became a legendary lost city that you search for and find no trace of. This is my explanation of the matter, because our masters had the knowledge of space travel, and perhaps their occupation of your planet is due to their prior knowledge of its location."

Keno said, bewildered, his mind gradually scattering and tearing into scattered fragments, "Immortality! Do they really have the secret to immortality?"

"No, they don't have that. But they can manipulate the bodies of creatures to extend their lives for hundreds of years. But death is the fate of all creatures in the end, except for us. Immortality is in our hands only, unless we are destroyed or stop working and rust."

"If this nonsense you are saying is true, then how was the planet destroyed? Show me your proof!"

The robot raised its right hand, and from its palm, a three-dimensional image of planet Earth at the beginning of the invasion emerged. Its breathtaking blue color was marred by many large black spheres heading toward it, entering its atmosphere, and falling in various places on it. Then, explosions and attacks from the robots followed all over the planet. In the next image, its color had faded and it had become a dark planet, its color leaning toward black, filled with wars and raging fires. He then closed the image and said, "The people of Atlantis attacked your planet at first by controlling the robots you use. And because the people of Atlantis are very advanced in robot manufacturing, which is what made us robots so intelligent, this enabled them to control the robots of planet Earth and use them to destroy everything. As for the spheres, their mission was to transmit all information about your planet and determine the necessary plan for the invasion, but they also contained soldiers waiting for the right time to emerge."

Keno felt a pain in his head, as if his mind was struggling and fighting to access the memories that had been erased from his mind. A somewhat blurry image appeared to him, and he remembered something about touching a sphere that had fallen near the University of New Cairo while he was heading home. He had approached it, but he did not remember anything else. This made him feel that Leonis might be telling the truth.

His soul was troubled, and his thoughts darkened. He tried to comprehend every word that was said and analyze it to expose its falsehood if he was being deceived. He said to himself, "But if this is the truth, it is more terrifying than I imagine. But I feel that there is something else this robot is hiding." He said, trying to hide his turmoil, "If what you say is true, then explain to me more about how we got here. How did the humans know the location of this planet? Why did they build a large ship like Enix 3? Is this because they knew the invasion was coming?"

"This is the story I want to tell you," the robot said. "Before your planet was destroyed, a creature named Gladious came—he lived among us but was not from the people of Atlantis. He was a visitor who came from another planet and communicated with the people of Atlantis, and it seems he had knowledge of the existence of planet Earth."

Keno was shocked when he heard the name Gladious. He thought to himself, "Gladious? What is happening here? And is Gladious an alien? All that time! Is this robot deceiving me? Or am I the one who has been deceived? But my brother... and Gaia! Are all these lies?"

The robot cut off his train of thought, continuing his story in his distinctive electronic voice, "And of course, Gladious knew that the end of your race was imminent because of the desire of the people of Atlantis to obtain your planet as a substitute for their own. At the same time, many politicians on your planet were communicating with aliens from outside in order to obtain power and modern methods to control the people and the planet. And the truth, of course, was hidden behind a mask of endless lies. They even lied to you that your planet was the only one in this universe with life, despite their knowledge that this was not true at all. But you will soon learn why they hid the matter. And so, many things were hidden from you, and the greed of the people of Atlantis for your planet increased. They contacted your world through some presidents and told them that they would provide them with endless power and influence, as I mentioned before, but on the condition that they do not tell anyone about their existence. of course, some questioned the intentions of these creatures. But people of Atlantis said that they were advanced creatures who wanted to benefit the universe and make it move forward to discover horizons they did not know. They saw in humans intelligent creatures who deserved to move to the next level and discover their true potential. But they asked them not to give the public any of the secrets they had learned yet, because they were not ready to accept them at the present time. And that is why a large part of humanity had to be eradicated and the elites, which are the smartest humans, had to remain. Only the enlightened among humans have the right to live. But do you know the irony of fate, Mr. Keno? It is karma, as you say; everything you do comes back to you."

Keno was silent for a moment, thinking about everything he had heard. The thoughts clashed in his mind in a frightening way. His face became gloomy. He sank into dark and frightening contemplations. Then looked at Leonis, who was waiting for him to answer, then broke the silence, saying, "What do you mean?"
