Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853 Worship

As soon as the oppressive presence disappeared from Sector 8, it felt as though an enormous weight had been lifted off the people's shoulders.

The people who had initially held their breaths exhaled heavily, trying to regain their composure. A flash of blinding light ignited in the sky, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.

The gazes of both the people and the spirits snapped toward Magnus as an intense killing intent hit them like a tidal wave.

Ismara's eyes narrowed. 'He's mad,' she thought.

It seemed inconceivable. A presence so overwhelming that millions of people, including paragons, had been tempted to worship it had just revealed itself.

It had made its allegiance to the spirits clear. And yet, Magnus still intended to wipe them out?

As the realization dawned on them, the spirits couldn't help but tremble. He truly was a madman, a terrible opponent to have. To him, there was no reasoning, no negotiation, no compromise.

"Ismara."

Ismara turned her gaze toward Seraphina. Their eyes met, and though neither spoke a word, their gazes seemed to communicate volumes.

The rumbling thunder grew more furious, and an intense darkness blanketed the entire sector as thick clouds began to gather.

But in the next instant, the oppressive aura that Ismara had been emitting suddenly vanished. Before anyone could react, her large figure shrank and entered Seraphina's chest.

The spirits paused, confused. Ismara was the highest ranking spirit present, and they had instinctively followed her lead. But now that she was gone, none of them knew what to do next.

Regardless, Magnus's killing intent and the thick clouds gathering in the sky were undeniable. The reality hit them instantly.

If they persisted, they would die.

It started with one spirit, its ethereal form turned and disappeared into its bond's chest. Then the others followed, and soon enough, silence descended upon Sector 8.

"I'm sorry about this, but can we continue our conversation later?"

Magnus and Oberon exchanged glances before nodding. "It's paramount we address this issue as soon as possible," Oberon reminded, prompting Seraphina to nod.

Although her stance had been firm when confronting Ismara, it was clear that she was still visibly troubled by the entire situation.

"Now would be a good time to tell us what's going on," the sharp voice of Thorne Alverian cut in from the side. The other paragons also wore serious expressions as they looked at the trio.

They had come running the instant Ozeroth appeared in Sector 8. Even now, although some had begun to draw conclusions, it didn't change the fact that they were in the dark while the trio clearly knew something.

Magnus and Oberon glanced at Seraphina, seemingly seeking her approval. With a hesitant look, she nodded.

The matter was already out in the open, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Even she wasn't sure about the future anymore.
