Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 980

Atticus’s foot landed.

A simple step. Nothing more.

And yet…

The cheers stopped.

The voices of millions cut off in an instant, as though the air itself had been stolen from their lungs.

The figures of Kael and Kahn still rushed toward him, the division leaders still ascended the mountain, but then—

The world slowed.

It started small.

A single quake.

A vibration so deep, so primal, it felt like a heartbeat. A pulse that synchronized with every single person on the mountain range, as though the very land beneath them had come alive.

Then—

Cracks.

They spidered outward from Atticus’s foot, tearing across the vast mountain range, consuming everything in their path.

The lush green slopes fractured. The towering cliffs splintered. The deep ravines ruptured open.

From within the cracks, a blinding purple light burst forth, glowing like an awakening god.

Division leaders, thousands of them, froze in place.

Their gazes snapped downward. Their eyes widened. Their breathing stopped.

The mountain was breaking.

The Apexes, watching from high up, felt a jolt of disbelief.

He was going to destroy the mountain!?

This… was this human INSANE!?

But there was no time.

With a final, earth shattering crack:

BOOOOOM!

The entire mountain range exploded.

A detonation of rock and earth erupted into the sky, sending debris and dust roaring outward, consuming everything like a tidal wave of destruction.

The screens flickered.

Then, static.

All across the floating islands, the battlefield, the warships—

Nothing.

The entire world was blind.

An intense silence gripped the floating islands.

Then… the dust cleared.

The screens flashed back on.

And there, hovering at the highest peak of the sky—

Atticus Ravenstein.

Untouched.

Unshaken.

As though he was above it all.

And in his grasp was Aurora who was held up with ease.

The wind rushed past his flowing white hair, his azure and purple eyes gazing down at the battlefield with a calm, god like indifference.

And that was when it dawned on them. On every single person watching.

That mountain.

That colossal mountain range, spanning miles, large enough to contain thousands of division leaders, multiple Apexes, and entire armies—

Gone. Destroyed. Like it was nothing.

There was a slight pause.

And then—

The humans screamed.

Not just a cheer.

Not just excitement.

They ROARED.

They shouted with every fiber of their being, with everything in their souls, with a raw, primal energy that shook the entire floating island.

"ATTICUS!"

"ATTICUS!"

"ATTICUS!"

Fists pounded against chests.

Arms thrust into the air.

Their voices boomed, echoing across the skies, across the camp, across the gloomy world of the military camp.

It wasn’t just celebration. It was worship.

Their blood pumped harder than ever before.
