Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080 Who Would You Believe

Streaks of light shot in from all directions, converging on Atticus's location.

He didn't need to look. He felt them already. Paragons of humanity.

Even Magnus was among them.

They all landed silently, standing around him with eyes locked on the sky and faces grim.

From the opened hulls, figures began to emerge.

One from the Dimensari.

One from the Vampyros.

Multiple from the Dragon race.

As they stepped forward, the air around them thickened. The very presence of these beings sent waves of pressure across the sky.

The paragons of humanity reacted instinctively, their fists clenched and eyes narrowed.

But the average citizen couldn't see that far. But somehow, the invaders had accounted for that.

From the undersides of the warships, small floating devices came out. They whirred silently, positioning themselves around the figures in the sky.

And then, just above the barrier of the Aegis Shield, three enormous screens blinked into existence.

And on those screens, projected clearly for all to see, were the figures that had just stepped out.

The invaders.

The crowd stared.

And many... forgot to breathe.

Eletantron Valerius.

Jezenet Bloodveil.

And several members of the Dragon Coven.

Across the human domain, there wasn't a soul unfamiliar with those names, especially

the first two.

They weren't just figureheads.

They were the leaders of two of the most powerful races in all of Eldoralth.

And now... they had come personally?

The dread that gripped the hearts of humanity tightened into something far worse,

pure, suffocating terror.

Some pissed themselves.

Others fell to their knees, weeping.

All of them, every single one, felt fear crawl down their spines.

Eletantron moved forward.

The screens followed his movement in perfect sync, displaying every detail.

He gazed down at the human domain like a god peering at a failed experiment, cold, distant, and immeasurably powerful.

Then, he spoke.

His voice did not echo.

It boomed.

It reverberated across the entire domain, as if the very world had become his

mouthpiece.

"Humans."

"My name is Eletantron Valerius. I have come to deliver an ultimatum."

"A few weeks ago, your Apex, Atticus Ravenstein, committed an act of war against the Alliance. He destroyed our military training camp and, in doing so, slaughtered millions of our youths."

"When Carius, my grandson and Apex of the Dimensari race, alongside the Dragon Apex, attempted to stop him, he killed them both."

"My son, Azrakan, and Velkarion, the leader of the Dragon race, arrived shortly after with a battalion of paragons."

"They too were slain."

"Atticus Ravenstein has committed crimes beyond forgiveness. He has spilled the blood of the future. He has desecrated the legacy of entire races."

"He must be punished."

"You have one day. Lower your shield. Hand over the traitor. And we will leave without any more needless bloodshed."

"Resist... and your entire species will burn."

A silence gripped the entire human domain.

Throughout Eletantron's speech, wave after wave of shock had slammed into the people, leaving their hearts beating fast and their minds in chaos.

Their Apex? A traitor?

But hadn't Atticus just addressed them weeks ago? Hadn't he told them what happened? That he was attacked? That he defended himself?

Now, everything he said stood at odds with the accusations sounding from the sky.

Confusion, pure and complete confusion, was what many of them could feel.

Some were stunned speechless, not knowing what to believe. But others... others began leaning toward the side that promised their safety.

The side of power.
