Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825 Proposal

Atticus's thoughts raced as the pieces began to fall into place.

If the spirits truly intended to invade, why hadn't they done so already? Could it be that their presence on Eldoralth was hindered by some kind of restriction or condition?

His mind circled back to Ozeroth. Despite his overwhelming power, even he couldn't act freely without drawing attention and triggering consequences.

'There's more to this than meets the eye,' Atticus thought.

The spirits' restrictions, their interactions with Eldoralth, and their ultimate purpose. His thoughts churned.

'There are different worlds out there, but they seem to be graded. The spirit world is of a higher grade, which explains its strong inhabitants and their restrictions, while the Zorvans' world is a lower grade, just like Eldoralth.'

If any spirit could hear Atticus's conclusion, they would be shocked. He had figured out the mystery of the worlds with only subtle hints. Such a deductive mind was rare and almost impossible to teach.

'But… why would spirits come to a lower-grade world? Resources? Is there something here they don't have in their world?'

The Starhaven family was known for being peaceful. They hardly fought for resources or engaged in unnecessary disputes. Atticus doubted their reason was as simple as resources.

'There's something I'm missing,' he thought.

There were too many unanswered questions. Atticus couldn't pinpoint why the spirits had remained docile in Eldoralth for centuries.

'Or are they waiting for something?'

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the thought out of his head. His conversation with Ismara had changed his perspective on spirits. What once intrigued him now made him wary.

Forcing himself to silence his thoughts, Atticus focused on training. He planned to stay in the Sanctum of Origins as long as possible before any major changes occurred. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on sensing the spirit energy and absorbing it into his spiritual well.

While Atticus trained, the people of Sector 8 were gripped by a wave of conflicting emotions.

Seraphina had done her best to keep information about Atticus and Ozeroth from spreading, but her efforts had been in vain.

While she could silence the members of the Starhaven family who were present when Ozeroth appeared, the spirits were another matter. Every spirit had felt Ozeroth's presence, and some knew about Atticus's involvement.

Before long, word spread like wildfire: Atticus, the apex, had summoned Ozeroth, a spirit considered an enemy to all of the spirit race.

Sector 8 revolved around spirits, with many people worshipping them. With the spirits fueling the flames, hatred for Ozeroth quickly spread among the people.

They felt conflicted. If Atticus bonded with Ozeroth, wouldn't he become an enemy of the spirit race? And by extension, theirs?

However, when they realized Atticus hadn't bonded with Ozeroth, they felt relieved. To cement this, many spirit fanatics flooded the streets, waving banners and protesting against Ozeroth, demanding he not be accepted.

In a single day, the situation escalated dramatically.

…

"This isn't right, Father! I've done everything they asked! I awakened a tier 6 spirit! After all the promises, she's just going to ignore us?"

The angry voice of a young man echoed through the room. Kaelan Starhaven, in his early twenties, had purple hair like all Starhavens. Despite his age, his aura was stronger than his peers.

Kaelan's jaw tightened, his anger barely contained. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
