Oberon’s rundown was straightforward.
After the incident with the worlds’ leaders, Oberon had intensified their watch on each world.
More Eldorians were stationed in each region, mandated to report their activities daily. Oberon had even gone further, building a military barracks just below Atticus’ hill, consisting of multiple paragons and grandmasters whose sole purpose was to guard the hill from enemy attacks.
Atticus’ immediate hunt had resulted in the deaths of every traitor, even Nathan’s assistant, who they later learned had been the reason for the event in the first place.
Nathan had taken full responsibility and even begged to be punished, but after reading his mind and confirming his innocence, Atticus only confiscated every earning he made and barred him from organizing anything similar unless he permitted it personally.
After that, it became political talks. New council heads across Novareth, families rising throughout the cities, rising stars, and more importantly, the start of a new academy consisting of youths from all races of Novareth.
"Academy? Like the human domain’s?"
"Yes and no, supreme ruler," Oberon replied. "It is an academy, but we won’t be copying the human domain’s style. It’ll be more competitive, with more incentives to encourage youths to grow stronger."
"I see."
A smile found its way to Atticus’ face. He could remember his time at the academy. Short, but memorable.
’A lot has actually happened, huh.’
Only about five years ago, yet look where they stood now, a unified front, and an Eldoralth greater than anyone ever imagined.
’We’ll keep going higher and higher.’
Keep progressing until talk of the middle planes brought wistful memories.
"What about training?"
"Ah... I believe Master Von would best explain that aspect."
"Von... Whisker?"
"Yes. The master prefers we call him Von."
"Of course." Atticus shook his head. "So no issues?"
"None, supreme ruler."
"Alright then. Get ready for tomorrow."
Oberon swallowed but nodded. "Yes."
Giving a nod at the glaring Jenera, Atticus vanished from the office and reappeared inside a large room.
"Can you believe it, my star actor? I’ve been watching this for weeks, and I still can’t wrap my head around it."
Atticus looked at Whisker, seated before a massive screen. But unlike the lively Whisker he knew, he had a look of pure disbelief on his face.
"As a matter of fact, I believed in him."
"Pure lies!" Whisker turned to him. "You were just as sure as I was. We both didn’t think this was possible!"
Atticus sat beside the stunned Whisker.
"Yet, here we are."
"Here we fucking are..." Whisker shook his head. "I still don’t believe this is natural. You must have done something! You’re a god, you could’ve manipulated their minds!"
"You know I wouldn’t do that..."
"But—"
"Whisker." Atticus sighed. "The earlier you accept this, the better. Besides, why were you so sure it couldn’t happen? Maybe he was just finding his... rhythm."
Whisker stared. Atticus coughed.
"In any case, it happened. Best we can do is accept it."
"Damn..." Whisker slumped. Not even popcorn could make this bearable. This wasn’t entertainment — it was an impossibility.
Two cups and a bottle materialized. Whisker poured and handed one to Atticus.
"Well, I guess you’re right. He finally did it."
As they drowned their cups, they fixed their eyes on the screen.
There, the live footage of Ozeroth playing around with multiple Amazonian women played out.
Over the past six months, using a method unknown to both Whisker and Atticus, Ozeroth had finally achieved his dream. He’d finally formed a harem.
"King Ozeroth, you’re giving Nika more attention!"
"When he gave you attention yesterday, you didn’t complain."
