Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1340

Chapter 1340: God’s Chess

A blinding light ignited between them the next moment, and from it a familiar furry creature emerged.

Atticus could recognize this creature as the same one that presided over his battle with Kale.

"The Great Verge has expressed interest in this unusual fight and would like to offer you a choice."

Atticus narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Whisker, who shrugged and mouthed "he’s a crazy one". He turned back to see Nerrot looking excited.

The furry creature shined its teeth, clearly loving its job.

"Usually, challenges in the outside world are settled in the arena of gods. But the Great Verge, in his boundless wisdom, has decided to host this one. What do you say?"

A smile had found its way to Nerrot’s lips. The very thought that the Great Verge was interested in this fight made him giddy.

Plus, it had been his plan all along! The Great Verge’s interest in Atticus during his fight with Kale was amongst the things he took note of.

"I accept." Nerrot said, but the furry creature did not turn away from Atticus.

"The challenged has the final say." It said.

Nerrot’s expression darkened. If Atticus refused, his opportunity would vanish. But he had nothing to worry about.

"I accept."

"Good!" The furry creature grinned and clapped its hands. "Now, what are your terms?"

"I want his world." Atticus said without hesitation. He left no room for misinterpretation.

The furry creature turned towards Nerrot. "Do you accept his terms Baron Nerrot? If you lose, you will relinquish your rights as a god, and hand over your world to god Atticus. Winning will grant you the same rights."

Nerrot’s grin vanished. ’Looks like he learnt from Kale.’

Asking for his life doesn’t guarantee that Atticus would get his world should he win. The factions made sure of that.

’I need a count’s permission.’ Nerrot pondered on the matter for a moment.

"As long as he agrees to play my game."

"What game?"

Atticus asked before the furry creature could finish speaking. He earned a glare from the creature but didn’t care.

"I call it, gods Chess." Nerrot smiled. "Don’t worry, it’s fair to both sides. What do you say?"

"I’ll decide when I hear the rules."

Nerrot smiled and quickly summarized the rules of the game to Atticus and when he was done, he observed Atticus carefully.

’Would he accept?’ He wondered. It was a game that required ingenuity rather than brute force.

’I can’t risk clashing head on.’ Nerrot had always considered himself someone who knew how to use his head well.

From the news, Atticus had defeated Kale. In a direct clash, Nerrot was sure he couldn’t withstand Atticus.

Clashing with him directly was suicide. Which was why he had devised this method. If Atticus accepted, it was his win.

"I accept."
