The Bloodline System

Chapter 1360 Keep Your Apology

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

A bright florescent colored light suddenly engulfed their side of space.

Along with the burst of light, came a surge of energy that rippled across space.

Bam!

Gustav spacecraft up ahead got hit by the star charge and tumbled forward uncontrollably, before crashing into a moon up by the side.

~Phew~

"He should have gotten obliterated with that attack," The leader of the group of space bandits who had a Llama-like physique and a camel-shaped face, let out a sigh of relief.

The others around him seemed to be different species of aliens dressed rather shabbily. They were quite the motley crew.

"Boss I knew it was a bad idea to go after that space bird," One of them spoke from his side.

"Shut up Paxy. Everything is a bad idea to you," the camel-face-shaped leader of the space bandits said before stepping forward to assess the damage done to their ship.

"That bastard was hella strong!" The camel camel-face-shaped was distraught about how he would have to spend money to fix the damages caused to their ship.

Instead of a gain, they had encountered a loss.

"Good thing he is dead now!" This realization gave him a bit of satisfaction.

"Who says I am?"

A deep masculine voice suddenly cooed out from behind.

Everyone instantly froze the moment they heard him while the leader slowly turned around.

The moment he spotted the humanoid figure standing at the entry point of the control room, chills ran across his body.

"How are you still…" Before he could complete his sentence, the 6'3 human figure with dirty blonde hair appeared in front of him.

To the leader of the space bandits, it felt like he teleported.

"Kuueek~" The leader let out a belch as he got grabbed by the throat and lifted.

The others around wanted to arm themselves with weaponry, but they couldn't even move. Their legs and arms felt frozen in place due to fear. The pressure that the man before them emitted caused sweat to run down their bodies like they were dipped in a pool.

One of the space bandits wiped his forehead and temples, another could have sworn he felt wetness between his legs. Gustav had them all in an invisible chokehold.

Right before their eyes, he had taken a blast of their star charge and came out unscathed. They all wondered if weaker technological weapons would just be like needles trying to prick his skin.

"Please sp-pare m…e great one," The leader managed to utter as Gustav's s grip tightened on his throat.

"Oh? You suddenly turned into an ass-kisser. What happened to you wanting to take my pretty spacebird?" Gustav questioned with pettily.

"Gre…at one I apol.. log-ise for the blunder…" The leader replied in a shrill voice.

"Keep your apology. I will be taking your spacecraft," Gustav said before flinging the leader away.

The leader watched as Gustav took command of the spacecraft and turned it around.

Gustav wasn't even bothered about the crew behind whom he left untouched. He knew very well that with the strength he displayed, they had zero will to attack him.

The bandit's spacecraft arrived on the small moon Gustav's spacecraft crashed into and they descended.

Sersi and the system in physical manifestation were already standing outside. Sersi had a spacesuit on while the system stood on the moon undisturbed by the lack of oxygen in space.

A trail of frost had begun to spread from Sersi's position to the surroundings as she conjured gigantic spikes in a bid to attack the descending spacecraft.

The system held her hand before she could go through with it and said, "It's him."

Within the helmet of the spacesuit, Sersi's face lit up and the frost began to retract.

The spacecraft was almost four times the size of theirs so its descent had cast a little shadow on the moon due to the illumination from the giant, glowing, planet-sized stars in the distance.

People began to fall from the spacecraft and landed in different positions all across the moon. They were the crew members of the spacecraft along with their leader, but they weren't falling out. Gustav was throwing them out himself.

"Please don't leave us here! We'll run out of air and die!" The leader of the space bandits pleaded.

Since there was no sound in space, it would have been impossible to hear the leader but they all had their spacesuits on so communication was still possible.

"That is your problem not mine," Gustav answered through the communication panel within the spacecraft before disconnecting.

The leader and the other crew members kept pleading but Gustav ignored them. Sersi was beamed up alongside the sphere-shaped spacecraft while the system just appeared within since Gustav was already inside.

Zhrrooouuuuu~

The spacecraft zoomed off in the next instant, leaving the former crew in place.

"Daddy you're safe," Sersi jumped into Gustav's embrace the moment they got into the control room.

"Yeah…" Gustav patted her back twice before disengaging. "You should probably stop calling Daddy and start calling me Gustav," He added.

"Okay Daddy," Sersi smiled cutely.

"Uhhh…"

"What is the matter, Daddy?"

"Never mind."

Gustav nearly facepalmed as he turned away to face the panels and holographic images of different areas within and outside the spacecraft.

While they resumed traveling after the little mishap, the system analyzed the damages to their original spacecraft and reported back to Gustav on the areas that needed repairs.

"I'll do that after meeting up with Endric," Gustav said to her as they continued to cruise across space.

....

….

….

About three hours later, the spacecraft began to close in on a massive green rock in the distance that seemed to be emitting a large volume of gasses while traveling across space.

The rock was as large as a quarter of Earth but moving much faster. Unlike other orbital bodies, it didn't have a movement pattern, nor was it circulating any larger orbital body. One couldn't even see the surface due to the volume of gasses it emitted.

Fortunately, despite its extremely quick movement across space, their spacecraft was faster. Gustav closed in on the massively green space rock and made sure to maintain a steady speed the moment they were only a few paces from its center of gravity.

"We have arrived at the Trackiowar star…" Gustav muttered while leaving the spacecraft on autopilot.

Sersi still had a look of cluelessness on her face while staring at the holographic projection that displayed footage of the green rock below.

"Is that where we are going?" She inquired.

"That is where I am going… alone," Gustav answered.

"Sersi wants to come with you," Sersi voiced while unstrapping.

"No," Gustav answered bluntly while grabbing his red long jacket from the side and draping it around his shoulders.

"The gasses oozing from the Trackiowar star are extremely dangerous. Should anyone get even ten thousand feet close, they will get evaporated and turn into gasses themselves," Gustav said while covering his entire figure with a layer of milk-colored energy.

"Even the spacecraft can't descend beyond this level or it would corrode as well," He added.

Sersi had a look of disbelief on her face as she responded, "But father you said your brother is down there."

"Yes. Endric is powerful enough to survive there with ease. You on the other hand would turn into vapor before you manage to reach the surface so I am going down there alone," Gustav answered while stepping forward.

Sersi had a slightly frightened look after hearing that and stared at the green gasses polluting space that was emitting from the rock below them.

"Stay here. I will be back as soon as I can," Gustav arrived at the hatch area.

"At least Kira is here with me," Sersi voiced while hugging the system which was sitting in place with a disinterested expression.

'Did she name the system? That's weird,' Gustav raised his left eyebrow for a moment before replying.

"She will vanish soon. She can't stay too far from me but don't worry, the spacecraft will keep following the current speed of the Trackiowar star. I'll be back," Gustav added before vanishing.

Fwwwwhii~

A barely noticeable dot could be spotted descending towards the massive rock blazing across space.

It soon disappeared into the green mist.

….

….

….

"Big brother has arrived," Within the dense green mist, Endric suddenly stood to his feet.

The small fire blazing on the ground before him slightly illuminated a pile of beastly corpses behind him as he stepped forward.

Fhwwerrrrhh~

Intense wind suddenly surged forth, clearing the mist across a radius of ten thousand feet.

At the far end, Endric could spot a humanoid figure charging at him with great speed. He was first alarmed by the energy this figure emitted which could undoubtedly destroy the entire star on which he stood.

Thrrihhh~

A smile appeared on his face as the figure arrived before him in the next moment.

"Big brother," Endric muttered.

"Hey kiddo," Gustav replied while stretching his fist out.
