Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 582

?A week passed just like that.

It had taken Atticus hours to pass the first and second summits, something that had blown people's minds. But as he reached the third summit, he encountered his first major challenge: passing its test.

It was unlike the first and second summits and required a great amount of work and effort to achieve—two things that Atticus hadn't lacked this past week.

To Atticus, who had mostly been training, this time had gone by in a flash, and he truly had no idea where the time went. Most of the hours of the day and even days were spent on the summit. Atticus would only descend and rest for about four hours before ascending once more.

He had been thoroughly focused on his tasks. And after one week of constant practice, Atticus finally believed that he was ready to give it a real try. Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the third summit, Atticus closed his eyes.

It had been a humongous task, almost like creating a living being from scratch.

'Here we go,'

A subtle wave spread out from Atticus as he formed a connection with the molecules in the air.

The air around him ignited, fire coalescing in front of him. Atticus's gaze snapped open, his perception ramped up to full speed as he started giving out instructions.

While it was true that the molecules of fire could only follow simple instructions, this had changed over time as Atticus's connection with them deepened.

The week hadn't been for naught.

He learned to use his senses to guide them more precisely, even with basic instructions. This profound connection allowed him to orchestrate the molecules into a complex construct.

To create the construct, Atticus had to take note of different things. He began by visualizing its internal framework.

He designed joints and articulated parts to provide mobility, ensuring that each segment could move independently yet cohesively.

The construct needed a robust skeleton-like structure to support its form, so he concentrated on forming a core network of dense, flaming molecules.

This had taken him time to design—days, in fact.

Atticus didn't lose focus and meticulously directed the molecules to arrange into muscle-like fibers around this core.

These fibers, though composed of fire, mimicked the flexibility and strength of real muscles, which would allow the construct to move with agility.

He created ligaments and tendons from tightly bound flames, linking the joints and enabling smooth, controlled motion.

Furthermore, Atticus designed a neural pathway for mana within the construct.

Atticus couldn't channel mana through the construct directly, but he had something better. Since the molecules could absorb mana on their own, he had painstakingly learned how to use that.

The absorbed mana would pass from one molecule to another, flowing through the construct like a wave.

The construct, though essentially millions of flaming molecules intricately placed together, was the perfect representation of Magnus.

Its exterior was a solid shell of fire, protecting the delicate internal components and giving it a formidable presence.

The people of the third summit had long since paused their actions, each of them fixing their wide-open eyes on the unfolding scene.
