Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1453

Chapter 1453: Progress

That night, Ozeroth and Whisker made Atticus realize something truly important.

’True strength is what matters.’

He remembered the conversation he had with his mother during his childhood. Back then, he’d wanted to train, but Anastasia being Anastasia wouldn’t accept that, instead promising to protect him.

Atticus had won that argument with one fact, the best protection she could possibly give him was his strength.

’I should have thought of this sooner.’

Atticus held back the feeling of regret taking root. Ozeroth and Whisker had left him to his thoughts, and he stared at the night sky with a clenched fist.

An unseen force had declared war on him. According to Whisker, considering the situation, he was currently at its mercy.

’Their strength is the best protection.’

Whisker had asked him a single question earlier:

"If this attack had been directed at you, or let’s even say me, Ozeroth, or the furry little guy, what would’ve happened?"

"...It’ll fail."

"Why?"

"Because you’re powerful."

"Then you understand."

Atticus could only silently nod.

His loved ones were incomparable to him or them. What Whisker had meant was simple, his loved ones would always be at stake if they were weak.

In his world of powerful enemies who would search and exploit any way to destroy him, they would be in constant danger.

Unless he planned on being with them round-the-clock, their strength would be their best protection.

’I have to power them up.’

Atticus looked past the sky to the vast universe. He could feel the plane will silently watching.

’It’ll react if I try to interfere in my people’s growth...’

He’d hit a problem before he even started. The plane will was already reacting; any more interference would result in severe consequences.

Atticus shut his eyes and sighed.

’I have no choice.’

...

The next day arrived quickly, and by morning, every single Eldorian gathered in the grand hall of the refurbished dominion pillar.

Though Lyanna’s battle had destroyed it completely, for beings of their power, rebuilding it only took seconds.

"Why do you think he called us?"

"With him? Who knows. I just hope it isn’t bad."

The whispers were endless. Atticus had called for a sudden meeting and given no explanation whatsoever. The tension in the hall was heavy, and many tried to search for who knew anything about what was occurring.

"It could be related to what occurred yesterday... maybe he wants to retaliate."

"Retaliate?" The Eldorian turned to his friend, "Then what do we call the fate of the Surnix Hold continent?"

The other swallowed.

"Arg, this wait is killing me. Do you think Oberon knows something? He seems very tense..."

They turned their eyes to Oberon seated at the front row.

There was a small sheen of sweat on his forehead, and they could see his clothes drenched. He stared at the front with a rigid posture as his wife tried to comfort him.

It wasn’t just the duo, but most of the Eldorians’ eyes were fixed on Oberon. If there was anyone who knew something, it was him.

"If he knows something and he looks like that..." someone whispered, "we might die today."

But all Oberon’s tense demeanor did was increase the tension in the room.

The clamor continued until Atticus suddenly appeared on the platform.
