Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 Clauses

The atmosphere was thick with tension. Every single person watching from behind the aegis shields held their breath.

They knew—what was about to happen could be the worst disaster the human domain had ever seen.

The paragons were about to clash.

If they fought, it would be an event that might cripple the human domain forever. Earlier, only Magnus and Luminous had battled, and even then, the entire domain had felt the repercussions. Aegis shields had sprung up in other sectors as they braced for potential fallout, and that was with only two paragons in battle, with others trying to mitigate the damage.

But if all the paragons fought—even if it was all against Magnus—the consequences would be unimaginable. The devastation would tear through sectors like a wave, unstoppable.

Magnus's killing intent saturated the air, pressing down on everyone like an oppressive weight. Even paragons found themselves unnerved as the lightning crackled around him, the sky darkening overhead. His spear pulsed with deadly energy, thirsting for Luminous's blood.

Thorne Alverian and Zephyrion both narrowed their eyes, their auras flaring in response. But before they could act, a calm, serious voice cut through the rising tension.

"Magnus…" Oberon spoke, his tone steady. "I understand your anger, but killing him would trigger a chain reaction that the human domain cannot afford."

Magnus didn't respond, his killing intent only increasing. His gaze burned with the intensity of a storm, his spear humming with power.

"He started this, and he deserves to die. But if you kill him now, you risk tearing a hole in the domain that can't be mended. It's not just the loss of a paragon—it's the loss of an entire tier-one family."

Oberon's words weren't direct, but everyone understood. Killing Luminous wouldn't be the end—it would be the beginning. The Ravensteins wouldn't stop with him.

They would wage war on the Stellaris family, seeking to eradicate them entirely. Without a paragon, the Stellaris would be like ants to the Ravensteins.

And when that inevitable war occurred, the human domain would lose one of its most powerful bloodlines, a loss they wouldn't recover from for centuries.

But Oberon's plea hadn't reached Magnus. His aura continued to rise, killing intent flooding the entire area. The air crackled with electric tension.

"Cool down, Magnus," Zephyrion said, his voice tense. "We're not going to let you kill him. And think about it—if we fight here, which sector doesn't have a functioning aegis shield to protect it?"

Thunder rumbled overhead, the sky darkening further as lightning flashed in the clouds. The air grew suffocating, the killing intent reaching its peak.

Magnus's gaze shifted to Zephyrion, his eyes glowing with intense white light, lightning crackling around his form. "Was that a threat?"

Zephyrion's frown deepened, and he opened his mouth to respond, but Oberon quickly stepped in.

"It's not a threat, Magnus. It's a fact," Oberon said firmly. "If we battle here, everything will be reduced to ruins—including Sector 3. Listen to me. You're not wrong to seek justice, and you shouldn't let this go. But we can come to a compromise."

Oberon extended his hand, and a golden folded paper appeared in his grasp—a mana contract. The golden paper floated toward Magnus, the air shimmering with a golden light as Oberon spoke again.

"Write your terms."

Just as Magnus was about to engrave his terms, Oberon's cautious voice interrupted. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
