Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1057

A realization bloomed in Carius’s mind like a poisoned flower.

"You caused all of this… You foiled everything. You’re the reason…"

His voice trailed off. But Atticus did not pause.

There was no satisfaction in his eyes, no pride in his dominance.

Only silence.

Only judgment.

His gaze bore into Carius like a god looking upon a failed creation.

And then…

Carius shivered.

Something unfamiliar bloomed in his chest. A feeling he had hardly ever felt.

A feeling he didn’t want to feel.

But it was there.

Fear.

His lips shook.

"…A monster…" he whispered just as Atticus stopped before him.

Slowly, he raised his hand, and an orb of dark crimson energy surged to life in his palm, spiraling with quiet, terrifying power.

"Atticus Ravenstein!"

The voice rang out like a bomb. Eletantron’s voice.

"You have no right to pass judgment! Only the Alliance holds that authority! If you go through with this, you will be branded a traitor!"

Despite his words, Atticus didn’t even blink.

But Eletantron’s voice rose again, this time sounding more desperate.

"Then know this, you and the entire Human Domain will become enemies of the Dimensari! And I swear it… we will do everything in our power to wipe you all from the face of this planet!"

That… finally made Atticus pause.

The orb didn’t vanish, it remained, still pulsing. But Atticus turned his head. Slowly. Purposefully.

And his eyes met Eletantron’s.

A chill spread through the air, sweeping across the battlefield like a phantom. Eletantron’s words got caught in his throat. His body stiffened as if the temperature had dropped to ice.

And then, Atticus spoke.

His voice was low, but it rattled bones.

"I am here."

Three simple words that shook the hearts of all who heard them.

"The Human Paragons are here."

The moment he spoke, his aura surged, a wave of force crashing down on the world.

The ground trembled, the winds howled, and every human paragon felt it, their blood ignited, their spirits roaring in resonance.

Their own auras erupted in unison, rising like a storm in the skies.

Atticus took a step forward, his gaze never leaving Eletantron.

"There’s no better place than here to test your threats."

His killing intent slammed down upon the Dimensari like a collapsing world as he continued.

"Eletantron Velarius… I dare you to move."

Silence.

Not a breath. Not even a whisper.

Eletantron hovered in the air, frozen.

Not because of pride. Not because of diplomacy. But because he knew, he wouldn’t survive it. He couldn’t win.

Atticus knew it too.

And now, the whole of Eldoralth knew it.

Eletantron’s jaw tightened, teeth grinding so violently blood spilled from his gums.

The humiliation…

It choked him. Drowned him. Made him want to tear his own head from his shoulders just to escape the shame.

But still, he didn’t move.

Even after seconds passed, he remained rooted in place.

And in that moment, no one could explain it, but across the battlefield…

Every human recruit and sergeant.

Every human paragon.
