Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786 Mearly

For the first time in a long while, Oberon Enigmalnk wore a troubled expression on his face.

He sat cross legged in the center of a room, surrounded by complex runes etched into the floor and walls, glowing with a golden light.

His gaze was sharp, lit brightly with an intense golden hue, as he focused his full attention on the task at hand.

From time to time, the runes would flare brightly before dimming slightly.

'Why are my assumptions never wrong?' he thought.

Before the Nexus event began, the paragons had gathered for a serious meeting. They were all aware of Atticus's talent and potential and had to discuss the possible repercussions if he were to win the competition.

The chances were slim, but still possible. And they wanted to plan for that possibility.

Oberon had considered multiple scenarios, and each one was as bad as the last. It had been so crazy that there was practically no good outcome.

Should Atticus win the Nexus, the human domain was sure to face serious challenges.

Still, none of the paragons had even suggested forfeiting. To them, losing Sector 10 would effectively spell the end of the human race —it would only be a matter of time. The resources they were getting from there was just that important.

Due to the lack of information, even Oberon couldn't predict precisely what would happen. So they had settled on making assumptions and crafting a plan of action for each scenario.

This was why Oberon was now enacting the plan for the current unfolding situation.

As soon as the battle ended, Atticus and the other paragons were supposed to return to the human domain immediately.

The human race was far from being friends with the other races, so they couldn't imagine a reason for them to stay behind.

But if something beyond their control prevented their return, at least one of them was supposed to come back and relay the situation. That had been the plan. However, that hadn't happened.

Which brought Oberon to his current situation.

Before Atticus left, Oberon had tagged him with a rune, which he was now using to try and lock onto his location.

The plan was simple, but executing it was incredibly difficult. Oberon planned to teleport to Atticus's location and bring them all back.

He didn't know exactly what they were facing, but he could only hope no Dimensari paragon was present.

'I'll have only a split second. Even if they're not in that exact location, they'll lock onto me the moment I teleport into their domain.'

Using any space related element in the Dimensari domain was like announcing his presence with a loudspeaker.

But they had no other choice. At least in the human domain, they could still stand their ground with the Aegis Shield.

The rest of the paragons had to remain in the human domain in case anything happened. Which was why he was going alone.

"Your will is certainly impressive, but it's not enough. Send me instead."

Oberon's eyes snapped open in shock, and his gaze landed on a handsome man with a broad smile, leaning casually against the wall.

Oberon had been intently focused on his task. He knew he was distracted by the current crisis, but he, Oberon Enigmalnk, hadn't sensed this man's presence until he spoke?

He was wary. Oberon's expression hardened, and he narrowed his gaze. "Who?"

The man's smile widened as he stepped toward Oberon.

"Whisker Von Pounce. But as my friend, you can call me Whisker~"

…

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. One moment, Atticus had been walking through the banquet hall; the next, he found himself in the middle of a circular hall, with the paragons of the different races seated on thrones around him.

Atticus wasn't the only one teleported; the other apexes present at the banquet were there too. However, the paragons' eyes seemed to be focused on him.

Atticus felt an intense weight press down on him, but only for a brief moment. The air around him crackled, and lightning suddenly wrapped around his body, dispelling the weight completely.

Atticus turned to the side and spotted Magnus sitting alone with the three other human paragons. Their thrones seemed less luxurious compared to those of the superior races.

With a glance, he could see that many of the paragons whose apexes had died weren't present, especially those from the lower races.

Still, Atticus wasn't given a moment to process or offer his thanks.
