Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1219

Chapter 1219: One Month

After a few more awkward exchanges, Atticus finally found out what they were on about. For Kael, he simply wanted to spar with Atticus, which to him, was utterly mind blowing.

Why the hell would he want to fight a god?

For Aric, it was more reasonable. The man hadn’t been in the meeting with them but had somehow felt that there was an impending battle coming.

It was a sense Atticus found hard to believe existed, but he couldn’t help but be more baffled when he saw that Aric hadn’t been lying.

He really could sense when a battle was coming.

Atticus had eventually resigned and filled them both in on what was happening. He couldn’t spar with Kael because of the limited time. And what Aric had felt was most likely the upcoming Virelenna.

After that, they both left, and Atticus was left alone to focus on his training. Settling down, Atticus entered a deep state of meditation. He cleared his mind and focused on only one thing…

His elements.

And just like that, one month passed.

The past one month had felt like a second. A blip.

For many on Eldoralth, it was just like any other time period. But to those who knew of the upcoming events, it was far too short of a period than they’d like.

During this time, Eldoralth had experienced a significant change. Parts of the world had turned blue, much to Whisker’s dismay.

Entire forests of green. Clear lakes. High, imposing mountain ranges. The change came randomly and affected different parts of the planet.

For the citizens of the new world, the change came from the mana. Once more, and in the span of a year, its density had increased and surpassed its earlier peak.

Only the higher ups knew what had truly happened.

As the day for the Virelenna approached, Atticus decided it was time to absorb the Zorvan core. He had found and forcibly teleported Whisker to his location and made his intentions known.

Whisker had instantly nodded and explained the process of retrieving the core without killing the other party. It was quite straightforward, unlike what Atticus would’ve expected.

Luckily, he hadn’t attempted anything dangerous like with the Apexes, where he had to send his consciousness into their core to copy it.

This time, one of them simply had to initiate a battle between gods. Here, the both of them had been forcibly pulled into the Arena of the Gods, where Whisker had instantly raised up his hands and surrendered.

It had been a bit shocking. Atticus had no idea that there was an option to surrender. He had assumed that it was a battle to the death or nothing.

Regardless, it wasn’t as straightforward as he had believed. There were things that had to be met for this method to work.

Atticus, the opponent, had to agree and accept Whisker’s surrender. And after that, Whisker’s world will had harmlessly moved over to Atticus, and so had the control over his worlds.

Unfortunately, when a god and god fought in the Arena, it was all or nothing. Atticus hadn’t just gotten the Zorvan world, but the random one Whisker had taken control of too.

After that, Atticus had been given the choice of merging the worlds under his control or leaving them separated.

He didn’t even have to think. He had merged them immediately. With the upcoming competition, Atticus couldn’t afford to leave his forces divided.

The merging of the Zorvan world had increased the mana density and was what turned some parts of the world blue. Meanwhile, the second world left next to no visible signs of its presence.
