Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124 What Is This

The human domain was illuminated in a radiant purple light so blinding that even the paragons watching the scene had to shield their eyes from its rays.

Then came the shockwave. But surprisingly, it wasn't violent. Instead, it felt like a wave of light air washing over them, gentle.

The humans, Evolari, and Nullite fell utterly silent as the blinding light began to fade, unveiling a dense haze that cloaked the entire domain in a shroud.

A burst erupted from the center, scattering the mist in every direction. Then… they saw everything.

Ozeroth, cloaked in a blinding purple glow, hovered calmly in the air, twin hammers gripped loosely in his hands. But that wasn't what seized their attention.

In front of him, where the towering wooden beast had stood moments ago, was an endless fissure, a yawning chasm that split the earth and stretched kilometers into the horizon.

No one spoke. Not a word. Even the paragons' eyes trembled as the truth sank in.

One strike.

That beast, whose aura had dwarfed theirs, the one moments away from tearing them all apart, had been erased.

Ozeroth turned. His face was calm, as though what he had just done was nothing.

"Will you be okay?" His deep voice rolled over them. "I have to head back to him."

The paragons were jolted from their reverie. Avalon, Magnus, and Anastasia's expressions all shifted. Was he in danger?

But before they could speak, the air split with a deafening boom.

Their gazes shot upward to see the skies had changed. They had turned into a maelstrom of blue and green, like a storm of battling gods.

Volatile energy clashed violently, rippling across the heavens.

Then, with no warning, two colossal pillars of green and blue pierced down from the storm clouds, plummeting toward the earth like divine judgment.

"Those two fools!" Ozeroth growled.

In a blur, he appeared in front of the humans and their allies. His aura erupted, and the purple dome surrounding them thickened.

The pillars struck the earth.

The explosion that followed was indescribable. Earth shattered. Mountains cracked. The sky itself seemed to tear.

Their blows shook the domain as shockwaves of raw devastation spread in every direction.

Ozeroth clenched his teeth as the wave slammed into him, its sheer force pushing him back a step. "Shit!" he cursed under his breath.

It wasn't just the power that made this dangerous.

It was their Will.

Just standing in the presence of such overwhelming force, especially when they were imposing their Wills onto reality itself, was enough to make anyone with weaker resolve feel like their minds were tearing apart.

And because Ozeroth was still tethered, limited, by his bond with Atticus, his own Will was weaker than it should've been.

But right now, he was the only thing keeping the others, even the paragons, from losing their minds entirely.

BOOM!

The sound of a collision shattered the brief silence. Then another followed. And another.

Ozeroth's eyes snapped forward, sharpening as they cut through the haze.

There they were.

The Gardener and Whisker.

The former's face was twisted in pure hatred; the latter's cold and calculating.

They clashed at impossible speeds, their bodies wreathed in blue and green Will, amplifying every move to divine proportions.

Each time they met, a violent ripple of Will burst outward, a shockwave that slammed into Ozeroth's shield again and again, forcing him back step by step. Cracks webbed out along the dome, trembling with each hit.

Then suddenly, the Gardener's Will flared.

Caught off guard, Whisker's expression twisted. Their next collision erupted in a monstrous blast that sent Whisker hurtling through the air like a meteor, flattening everything in his path as the terrain was shredded beneath him.

Before anyone could even breathe, the Gardener vanished.

Another thunderous series of booms echoed in the distance. Louder. Farther. Everywhere.

Ozeroth's gaze sharpened further.
