Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 963

Intrigue.

This was what overwhelmed the underground space.

It was like a world of its own, bright sunlight illuminating the entire area, forests, wildlife, an ecosystem.

There was a small building off to the side, and in the middle of the space stood a tall hill with a beautiful, well-maintained garden.

It was a breathtaking scene, one that showed the simplicity of the man.

And as he heard Jezeneth’s words, the space responded to his feelings. An intrigue so intense that even Jezeneth’s anger was being overwhelmed.

"That’s unlike him," he could instantly notice the oddity of the situation. Aside from what Jezeneth had told him about Atticus that day, he had requested more information, basically everything about him.

As he received it, he dissected every detail, forming an accurate assessment in his head. To him, he should be able to anticipate every one of the child’s moves.

His smile widened.

"He found a way to ignore the contract…"

Jezeneth’s gaze narrowed. To her, and all of Eldoralth, mana contracts were absolute. They were tied to one’s mana core and could not be broken, ever.

Then, in the next second, her eyes widened.

’It’s possible.’

’He could change the mana signatures of my people to that of other races. If he can do that, then there’s a possibility…’

Jezeneth pondered. And as she did, an intense anger surged through her body.

"That sneaky little—"

"Drop it."

Her words caught in her throat as the man spoke. Explore hidden tales at freewebnovel

"There’s no way you can prove it. Let it go."

His tone offered no chance for refusal.

Jezeneth gritted her teeth, saying nothing.

"He was also able to discover the imposters I personally made. He’s growing at a rate that shouldn’t be possible in the scope of your lower world."

He tapped his fingers on his desk rhythmically, a thoughtful expression on his face. Somehow, his expression had lost all its casualness.

He had wanted to test Atticus and see how he responded to certain situations. Now he had the results, and…

It was too much.

At first, he had felt a bit of interest in a boy who had managed to bond with a core in such a short time. But now, it had gotten more serious than that.

As a being from a higher plane, he had a way of circumventing the effects of any mana contract of the people of Eldoralth. He knew the way, and it could be achieved through mimicking and altering the mana signatures.

’This is not a power a lower worlder should have.’

It was not a power that an Eldorian should possess. The implications were profound.

’Someone high up might be involved.’

The atmosphere took on a darker tone, the air becoming heavier.

’Another player?’ he pondered.

They weren’t the only powerful world in the middle planes. It was very possible that one of the other rulers had sent someone down for training or something.

Regardless…

’If that’s the case, he’s too dangerous. I shouldn’t allow him to grow.’

His thoughts darkened. Playtime was over. Atticus’ threat level had just magnified in his head.

’My siblings are here. I can’t reveal myself. Not yet. I have to find out who among them is using the aliens to attack.’ _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

His fingers tapping the desk increased in intensity as his thoughts ran freely.
