Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791 Snoring

As the blinding light from the runes dimmed, the entire hall fell silent.

Many eyes stared at the spot where Whisker had stood before, each one of their gazes filled with utter disbelief. After everything that had happened, had he really just left like that?

Just like that? _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

It was insane. It was maddening, infuriating. For a few seconds, no one spoke, with each person processing a different wave of emotions.

For Jenera Flux, the Evolari paragon, though her gaze remained impassive, she was inwardly very pleased by the events.

The Evolari race had always embodied evolution. They loved and hoped for change. To them, the greatest sin in this world was remaining stagnant.

In their belief, there was no such thing as true perfection; change was always needed, and evolution had no limit.

The human domain had remained stagnant, in Eldoralth they had been at the bottom of the power scale for centuries.

Personally, she hadn't hated or even disliked them; in fact, she didn't care much for the politics between the races or their power struggles.

Nothing was more important than evolution, and to achieve it, constant challenges were essential. She welcomed any challenge, it made her change.

'They're changing.'

A smile appeared on Jenera's face. The humans were changing; this was the thought that led her to support Whisker earlier during the talks.

First, there was Atticus, he had defeated not one but two superior race apexes when even the greatest of the human talents couldn't even stand toe to toe against them.

And now, Whisker—a paragon who could potentially stand toe-to-toe with a superior race paragon, had emerged among their ranks.

It didn't benefit her directly, but she felt glad for their change.

"We're leaving, Karn."

Youn stood up from his seat, ignoring Azrakan, who was staring at him with a cold gaze.

Karn said nothing. He, along with the mid race paragons and apexes, still remained in the middle of the hall. The rune had targeted only the humans and Whisker, leaving the rest behind.

A brown aura engulfed both Youn and Karn before they disappeared from the hall.

Azrakan's gaze was icy. He didn't speak, but when his gaze met Carius's expressionless face, his anger intensified. To think his son had witnessed this embarrassment scene.

Without a word, he disappeared from the hall, along with many of the Dimensari paragons around the hall.

Jezenet of the Vampyros race also stood up, leaving the scene, along with Lirae, who couldn't stop smiling, her gaze lingering on where Atticus had stood.

Everyone began leaving the hall. After what had just occurred, no one stopped the mid races from leaving. They each exited the hall with their apexes.

Soon enough, the hall cleared, leaving only the Obliteri race paragon and apex.

The silence stretched for a few moments.

The Obliteri paragon finally turned to Maera Nihilus, the apex of the Obliteri race.

"Why?"

Her voice sounded hollow and, at the same time, heavy, as if an intense vibration resonated across the hall with each word.

Maera turned toward her grandmother, their impassive gazes meeting.

Marae's eyes flickered as countless memories flashing through her mind. Despite her expressionless face, a wave of emotions surged within her.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "I want him."

Those were three simple words, vague in their meaning. But her grandmother didn't seem to care.

She nodded her head, and both of them disappeared from the hall.

…

A blinding light filled a room before dimming after a few seconds. As the light faded, multiple figures appeared, and the room was suddenly flooded with intense pressure.

"Release your aura, you're back home," came Oberon's calm voice, and although none of them needed to be told, it was as if a collective sigh of relief swept through the room.

It had been a close call.

"Hehe, that was fun!"
