Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081 Truth

The screens went dark, leaving only the faint glow of the Aegis Shield reflecting in countless stunned eyes.

And then, his voice came, calm.

"Who would you believe?"

The question echoed, not just in that sector, not just among the gathered paragons, but across the entire human domain. Atticus's voice reached every ear.

The people had already fallen silent while watching the events unfold. But as his words settled, it was as if the world forgot how to make a sound.

The humans began to replay everything they had just witnessed. Especially the paragons, those who were closest to Atticus. Their expressions had changed, but not because of Carius or Drakthanion's actions, but because of something far more unimaginable.

They had seen it.

They had seen Atticus battle a Zorvan colonel.

Two weeks ago, he had said it plainly. That he'd fought and killed one of them. A colonel.

Many had believed him, but it was not because the feat was believable, but because of the person who had said it.

Their Apex.

But hearing it was one thing. Seeing it… that was something else entirely.

They had watched every second of it, from start to finish.

And now, only one thought echoed in every mind:

He had actually done it.

He had killed a Zorvan colonel.

The paragons, who hadn't been there to witness the battle in person, had only heard the reports.

And not all of them had even seen his battle with Eletantron and the others. But now, after seeing the truth for themselves, they instinctively took a step back from him.

They didn't speak. Only stared at Atticus with shocked expressions.

Because now, they understood.

They understood the force that Atticus Ravenstein truly was.

And as they realized it, a wave of shame crashed over the citizens of the human domain.

Their hands clenched at their sides. Their hearts sank.

They had doubted him. Almost turned on him.

Because of the words of an outsider. Because of fear.

They could hear it now, just beneath his question.

The intense disappointment in his voice. As if he already knew they would turn. As if he had expected it.

And yet, to think he still bothered to show them the truth…

But that wasn't the only shift.

No, earlier they had questioned him because they believed the combined might of two superior and one mid-race leaders meant something. That surely, against such odds, even their Apex couldn't win.

But after watching that footage, after witnessing what he did,

That assumption shattered. Utterly and completely.

The silence lasted for many moments, until slowly, a man in the crowd raised his hand.

He didn't speak. He didn't shout. But he simply lifted his hand high, toward Atticus.

Another followed. Then another. And another.

From cities and towns across the human domain, hands began to rise.

"Atticus!" _{freewebnøvel.com}

A voice cried out.

"Atticus!" came another.

And then the chant spread like wildfire.

"ATTICUS! ATTICUS! ATTICUS!"

The voices boomed across every sector. From the young to the old, from soldiers to civilians.

They had made their choice. There was no more doubt.

They chose their Apex.

High above the Aegis Shield, Eletantron's face darkened.

A deep frown appeared on his face as his eyes narrowed.
