Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436: Inconsistencies

Lyanna fixed her eyes on the mountain of documents in front of her.

Before the arrival of the teams from the other worlds, Lyanna had made an odd request to her assistant: Bring everything we have on anyone of importance in the city to me.

Though bewildered, she had obeyed and gathered everything. It was odd, with mana contracts, one shouldn’t have to worry about betrayal anymore.

Even the leaders of other worlds were under contract. Planting spies in their ranks would breach this; hence, it was simply impossible for there to be enemy spies.

’He’s done it before.’

Lyanna could recall the scene like it was yesterday. Though she hadn’t been strong enough to attend, she had watched the meeting between Atticus, Magnus, and leaders of the other races.

During it, they had forced him to sign a mana contract binding him to the alliance. However, during the attack on the military camp, he’d simply breached the contract without any repercussions.

’They’re not absolute.’

Lyanna was operating under this basis and wouldn’t rest until all stones were left unturned.

She opened the first document and began reading.

Despite the sheer size, Lyanna was able to finish everything in only a few minutes. The power of a Paragon was still hard to fathom.

’Hmm.’ She took another ball from her desk and began throwing it against the wall.

The list consisted of every figure of importance in Novareth, from council members to even ordinary desk staff. She had focused on key areas and looked into anyone whose betrayal could mean anything.

’Eighty inconsistencies in total.’

They could be as simple as a guard’s patrol shift being changed without record, an order taking longer than expected to be followed, or a staffer accessing files outside their department.

They were minor things that didn’t necessarily make them traitors, but Lyanna held them all.

She rose from her seat and wore her coat.

"It’s been a while since I’ve gone hunting," she said, fastening the coat.

"Let’s see if I’ve gone soft."

...

The next day came swiftly, marking the true start of the competition. Once more, millions gathered at the grand coliseum to witness the epic battles to come!

The cheers were wild, and the colossal arena trembled beneath the thunder of their roars and stamping feet.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

A booming voice echoed, followed by an explosion of light above the coliseum. From the depth of the smoke, a massive Stellaris figure emerged, his armor gleaming under the sun. The crowd erupted.

"Are you ready for the battle of your lives!"

"Whoaaaa!"

"I can’t hear you!" He screamed, "I said, are you ready for the battle of your lives!?"

"WHOAAAAAAA!"

"Now that’s more like it." The Stellaris grinned and raised his arms wide. "I welcome you all, to the start of the Concord Games!"

The entire coliseum shook again as fireworks spiraled into the sky.
