Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1544

Chapter 1544: Threat

"Cosmic Punch!"

Kazan stomped forward, the ground erupting into a storm of dust as his fist blasted out. His will collapsed around his arm, morphing into a colossal fist that tore toward Whisker.

"Let’s see," Whisker murmured as he slowly raised his arm.

The punch detonated in a violent explosion, and a thick haze swallowed the domain. As it cleared, Kazan’s eyes narrowed.

A bluish shield had formed before Whisker and not a single strand of hair was out of place.

Still, Atticus caught the light flaring in Kazan’s eyes.

"You don’t have true will..."

The eyes of the watching Marquis sharpened instantly.

At Whisker’s silence, Kazan’s lips slowly stretched into a wide grin.

"Good, good! For a moment there, I thought you were like the other monsters, but you’re a false willer, just like me! It’s not hopeless, haha!"

He smashed his gauntlets together as he laughed.

"I figured it out, didn’t I?" He shook his head. "All that confidence... just to make me lower my guard and finish me. Now that the secret’s out, it’s no wonder you’re staying quiet."

Kazan’s will flared violently as he grinned at Whisker, who stood there in silence, a faint frown on his face.

"Still... doesn’t matter whether you talk or not. Now that I know you’re no real threat, I can end this."

He roared, will surging.

"Universe Punch!"

His will burst around him, morphing into a colossal titan as he charged at Whisker.

But an amused chuckle escaped Whisker.

"Fall."

A crushing weight slammed Kazan into the ground, driving him down and carving out a massive crater. The watching Marquis narrowed their eyes to slits.

"W-what is this...!?"

Kazan’s will flared as he tried to rise, but he couldn’t move an inch no matter how much he tried.

"True will, huh..." Whisker said as he walked slowly toward him.

"You’re right. I don’t have something like that."

As he reached him, he placed his foot on Kazan’s head.

"But... so what?"

He applied pressure, and cracks spread through the armor beneath his foot.

"You really think I need it to deal with trash like you?"

"Wai—"

His foot pressed down with such force that Kazan’s head burst, blood and gore splattering across the earth.

A heavy silence gripped the board instantly, all eyes fixed on Whisker, trembling.

"That hair... those eyes..."

"I didn’t want to believe it, but isn’t that—"

"N-nature’s spawn..."

At the whispers, Atticus frowned slightly.

’They recognize him.’

Whisker had warned him this might happen, but he hadn’t expected it to be so immediate. Across the Middle Planes, there were many feared bloodlines, but only a few were truly feared. One that topped the list was the direct kin to the powerhouses of the Crown.
