Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696 Everywhere

The blazing orange shield around the main warship receded, revealing Helios still standing in his earlier spot.

Helios fixed his gaze on the silent Ravensteins, focusing on Avalon, and erupted into boisterous, mocking laughter.

"Ah, Avalon! There it is! The look I've been waiting for! You always wear that cold mask—but now, look at you!" He spread his arms wide, reveling in the moment. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"That look in your eyes—I told you I'd relish the moment when I finally cracked you!"

Helios stepped forward, his grin widening. "Tell me, Avalon, how does it feel to realize you're not untouchable after all?"

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long, and it's even sweeter than I imagined!"

The temperature in the surrounding area continued to rise as the Stellaris army began regaining their momentum.

The Stellaris elders watched the scene with wide grins. Although it had been a shame that their paragon hadn't been able to destroy the estate and kill Avalon before Magnus appeared, they still felt confident about their odds.

It was noon.

To the rest of the human domain, the Stellaris family members were more like the undead during this time of day. Their stamina was limitless, and their power was incredible.

With this advantage, their paragon was currently fighting the paragon of the Ravenstein family. The battle was so intense that the tremors could be felt even from this distance.

"Lord Helios, I think it's best we take care of them before Master Luminous finishes his battle," one of the elders suggested, the others nodding in agreement. There was no doubt in their minds that Luminous would emerge victorious against Magnus.

Helios continued his laughter for a few seconds before deciding to listen to the elders. Just as he was about to give the order to attack, he suddenly paused, his gaze narrowing.

The atmosphere had changed. It didn't get hotter or colder, but the earlier sorrowful air around the Ravensteins had vanished. In its place was an unsettling, oppressive aura.

'What happened?'

Helios's gaze shot back toward the Ravensteins, only to meet a pair of piercing blue eyes staring at him with calm indifference.

Helios's eyes narrowed to pinpricks. What the hell?

Everything about the situation was odd. The Ravensteins, who had been mourning moments ago, had completely and suddenly shed their grief.

What made it even stranger was that only Avalon was staring directly at him. The others—Sirius, Lyanna, Nathan, the elders of the Ravenstein family, the sanctum masters, and even the students of the elemental sanctums—were all focused on separate individuals, as if they had silently chosen their targets.

The rage in the air was so thick it was palpable. The Stellaris army tensed. Weren't the Ravensteins supposed to be their prey? Why were they suddenly being looked at as if they were the prey?

Avalon said nothing. Not a single word or utterance. But his actions spoke volumes.

He took a single step forward—and then blurred.

In an instant, the ground beneath him cracked violently before it imploded. Before anyone could process what had happened, a shockwave of such intensity hit the Stellaris army that it felt as though the air itself had imploded.
