Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1635

Chapter 1635: Convergence

Atticus stared coldly at the old man standing before him.

"Who are you?"

"You... you can see me?"

The old man stared at him with wide eyes. He seemed shocked that Atticus had been able to see him.

’I almost didn’t.’

He had left Omnicognition constantly active because they were in an enemy base, yet it hadn’t seen through the camouflage. Instead, it was the elemental molecules that alerted him to the distortion once he got close enough.

Atticus gripped his katana tightly, allowing his will to churn around him. The old man was clearly dangerous. He couldn’t let his guard down.

"Hah..."

Under Atticus’ intense gaze, the old man cleared his throat, regaining his composure.

"Haha, relax. I was just surprised."

The old man grinned at Atticus’ bluntness, stretching out his arm for a handshake.

"I am Azeron. It’s good to finally meet you, Atticus Ravenstein."

’Azeron...’

It was the Ursuper Elder that had sent Go to them.

"...."

Azeron chuckled as Atticus stared at his outstretched arm without taking it.

"What do you want?"

"Straight to it, huh? I like that."

Azeron’s demeanor suddenly turned serious as he stood straighter.

"I want you to become my disciple."

Atticus was slightly taken aback, staring at the man silently. To be honest, he hadn’t expected this turn of events.

At best, he had thought they would ask him to join the Ursupers in exchange for information about Anorah.

’It’s the same thing.’

Regardless, Atticus wasn’t in the business of joining cults.

He blinked.

"No."

"Heh. Figured you’d say that."

The elder didn’t lose his smile, merely nodding as though it had been expected. Though Atticus could see he wasn’t happy about the refusal.

"In that case... represent the Evoli in the Convergence. In exchange for information."

"...Convergence?"

Azeron calmly nodded.

"Did Go tell you about us like I asked?"

"He said you want to revive Solvath."

Atticus didn’t keep the coldness from his tone. Their goal would inevitably make them clash. If not now, then in the future.

Azeron didn’t seem to care, clicking his tongue.

"...That’s it? Tch. That idiot."

Azeron muttered about what a pain it was and promised to teach Go a lesson. He cleared his throat a moment later.

"Alright. Let me explain. We’re called the Ursupers, but we’re not the Usurpers."

"....what?"

"Ah, forget it. I’m terrible at explaining things. Go should’ve handled this. Just... try to follow me, alright?"

Atticus silently nodded.

"Think of the Ursupers as a whole institution. The Evoli is just one branch of it."

"There are other branches?"

"Yes! Exactly."

The elder laughed, clearly proud that Atticus had gotten it.

"We all want the same thing, Solvath’s revival. We just disagree on how to get there. You’re probably wondering what our belief is."

"No."

"Alright, I’ll tell you!"

The elder shamelessly ignored Atticus.

"We, the Evoli, believe strength is everything. Talent decides worth. The strong rise. The weak get crushed. Simple."

A heavy pressure leaked from the Elder as he spoke. He clearly felt strongly about it.

"Then the Convergence..."

"Yes."

Azeron grinned.

"A battle of dominance involving every fragment bearer in the middle planes."

’Hah...’

Atticus curled his fists. Just when he thought everything was starting to go alright, another problem reared its head.

’A battle of fragment bearers...’

Fragment bearers were the most talented beings in the universe due to Solvath’s influence. One could only imagine the sheer number of fragment bearers, not just in the Span, but across the entire middle planes.

"The middle planes are vast and divided into segments. How do you plan to gather every fragment bearer in one place? What about those who haven’t even awakened?"

The elder answered with one word.

"Solvath."

"Solvath?"

"Yes. He’ll handle everything. Awakened or not. Verge, Span, Crown, he’ll summon them all."

"...."

Azeron smiled, seeing Atticus’ confusion.

"No, he hasn’t fully reawakened," Azeron added. "But he communicates with our leader."
