The Bloodline System

Chapter 1313 Let's Win This!

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter.

---------------------

If these fakes were able to infiltrate a great planet like this and use the identity of a participating planet for so long, there were no doubt that they had capabilities.

Handler One had to later address the general public that there was nothing to worry about since they had the perpetrators in captivity. He didn't give more information about the situation but he managed to assure everyone that everything was alright.

At the very least the heated discussions had gone from Gustav to the Indulus Prime incident. Gustav was getting tired of everyone using him as a daily topic of discussion anyways.

...

"Teemee has finally been avenged," Gustav muttered as he sat in place with a whitish pear shaped organ in his grasp.

Blue blood continously dripped from this pear shaped organ as he held it in his right hand which was drenched in the same color of blood.

("Best to get rid of the evidence because you definitely will be suspected when he his found dead,") The system voiced.

"I will..." Gustav respomded before throwing up the pear shaped whitish organ in his grasp.

A milkly colored glow spread across the organ while it was in mid air and before it could rise further it turned into light particles, completely disintegrating into nothingness.

Gustav fingers were soon covered in the same milky glow which erased the blood on his hands and floors as well.

Just minutes earlier, he had ended Orimon's life after torturing him for almost a week. He had successfully made everyone believe that Orimon was going insane.

Gustav had been questioned a few times by the Handlers and Xionsis who came looking for him personally. He denied any claims of ever coming close to Orimon since the last challenge ended and since they didn't have any proof, they stopped bothering him.

The Xionsis were planning to leave Ozious the next day so he had to end him before their departure.

Did he feel relieved after ending the one who was responsible for the death of his friend? Yes, Gustav did feel a little bit of relief.

He still felt guilty about being unable to save Teemee but he wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he didn't send the killer to join him in wherever he may be.

As the pacifists would say, revenge is a digging two graves. One for your target and one for yourself...

But Gustav didn't care about digging a grave for himself so long as the grave of the other person existed. No matter the cost, Gustav had vowed that anyone who ever harmed his loved ones would meet a gruesome and begrudging end.

("Don't you think you are sometimes too intense?") The system voiced.

"No. When you spent a huge chunk of your life alone without any form of relationships and friendships... and you finally build genuine emotional connections with people who care about you so much they would lay their lives on the line for you if need be...

Then you'd understand without a shadow of doubt that you don't want anything bad to happen to such people. You would cherish them... protect them... and save the universe because they exist within it... pfft you wouldn't understand. You don't have emotions.

You're just a machine who follows programs and execute actions based on them,"

("Ouch... well... maybe you're right...") Internally the system had an understanding of emotions based on programming but it was a fact that it didn't feel emotions... or so they thought.

"Enough said, I need to prepare for the coming finals..." Gustav voiced while standing to his feet.

Within an unknown world greyish colored world with floating dark platforms, a figure could be seen jumping downwards from one of the dark platforms.

This figure was clad in a dark hat and sleeveless tight shirt, along with leather pants. He trotted forward after landing on a massive dark ground that extended across a large radius.

Fwehoossshh~

He held his hat as his clothes began making flapping sounds while he stepped forward.

Up ahead was a dark storm sending forth heavy winds as dark waves thrashed around.

This dark storm looked like beings in pitch black cloaks swimming across the air in a circular format. They moved extremely fast and due to their high numbers, it had caused a storm.

Within the eye of this dark storm, the man trotting forward could spot the outline of a figure. Due to the low visibility in the environment, he couldn't see the figure properly but it seemed to be humanoid.

The dark storm was still thousands of feet away yet he could feel the intensity. There was a feeling of corruption in the air and the winds began to intensify the closer he got.

"I need to center my core against the corruption or I risk getting my existence getting infected..." Deji muttered while placing his index finger on his forehead.

Thhiiinhhhgggg~

His entire figure instantly began glowing with bright white light. He became a stark contrast with his environment.

The air began to twist and turn as if it was trying to reject his presence but fortunately, he became immune to the darkness thrashing around.

However, as he traveled further, the glow his figure emitted began to slowly dim...

"The day has finally arrived," Fildhor voiced with a slightly tensed look.

Everyone gathered together in the main room with their battlesuits on. They all looked captivating in the white and blue tightfitted costume.

"This is it guys," E.E voiced as well with an excited look.

Over four months of continuous challenges had finally led up to this pivotal moment.

Their party of seventeen had been filled back up to twenty by three substitutes. These three who were used to replace Falco, Teemee and Glade looked even more tense than everyone else.

Yuhiko had joined the main group before so she had a bit of experience on what it was like to be participating in a major challenge but this was the finals. This was different from any other major challenge.

Gandalf and Yorichi were the two other new additions Gustav picked himself. Yorichi was a yellow skinned 5" male with extremely long nails and green hair. Aildris was initially the one with the longest hair in the group but now that Yorichi was here, he had been surpassed.

Gandalf on the other hand had a bald head and bushy red eyebrows. He had intense looking eyes but it couldn't hide the fact that he was tensed as well.

"Just follow in our footsteps and you guys will be fine," Vin said to the new additions.

Gustav stared at Gandalf from the corner of his eyes and conveyed a hidden message.

Gandalf nodded and let out a breath of relief.

Gustav proceeded to address everyone next, "Are you guys ready?"

They nodded in response.

"There is no room for failure. We are to become IYSOP champions. We got this far and we will make sure it is worth it," Gustav stated.

Everyone had fired up expressions upon hearing this.

"Let's win this," Gustav stated.

"Yes!" They roared in unision.

...

Minutes later everyone was headed to the first disk which was where the final challenge would be holding.

The participants on the other hand had their respective handlers waiting for them outside their accommodation area.

For each it was Handlers 27 and 28. The duo waited for the group outside on a saucer like floating item.

They implored Gustav and the others to climb onto it. The floating item expanded to accommodate all twenty of them and after a few moments it emitted a bright flash of light.

Zing~

They all vanished in the next instant.

A blinding star light shone across the dark space, illuminating a region that floated above a massive planet with multiple layers.

This region had a massive ancient flame torch shaped platform with mutiple structures erected on it. It was the size of an island just floating in deep space undisturbed or supported by anything.

It looked grand and incredible but it wasn't the only noticeable thing in this part of space.

Floating colosseum like structure seating areas could be seen a distance from the massive platform. Not only were these seating areas floating in space, they were also occupied by people who were mostly clad in space suits.

These of course were the IYSOP spectators. Spectators who were powerful enough sat in place without needing help from any spacesuit since they could breathe in space and fly.

Miss Aimee floated above the seating area with her eyes set in the direction of the massive floating battlefield.

Her eyes flashed with suspiciousness as she remained in place while participants appeared on the massive floating battlefield one after the other.

'Hmm... hopefully the kid will be okay,' She said internally before descending.

"How much has been uncovered?" Miss Aimee questioned after taking her seat.

"Not much... only part of the translation still," Grand Commander Shion responded.

"Hmm? Which is?" Miss Aimee inquired.

"Lu Ban? aoko vori which translates to '...The Lord is sending...'" Grand Commander Shion said with a contemplative tone.
