Atlan had his eyes closed as he stood in mid-air.
Don't believe the illusions, he reminded himself.
Atlan raised his hand and pushed a button in his battle suit. And the blue light on his soles suddenly blinked and lost its power.
Without the antigrav boots turned on, Atlan would plummet down into the abyss where even the 50-foot lava tsunami could not fill halfway.
Despite that, Atlan closed his eyes and let himself lose the antigrav boots.
His body fell, but surprisingly, there was an invisible flooring underneath his feet that caught him just when everybody thought he would plummet down into the stalagmites.
Atlan, with his eyes still closed, raised his leg and walked forward.
He recalled the image of the swaying suspension bridge in his mind. He ignored reality and let his imagination dictate his actions.
Even though there was nothing to walk towards, Atlan still walked forward with no hesitation in his movements.
