The Bloodline System



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

They had to do their best to evade them especially since these beings had very powerful attacks.

The group steadily made their way upwards as swiftly as they could, occasionally coming into contact with multiple groups.

Fortunately, the illusionary figures weren't as quick as most of them they were successful in avoiding most of their attacks.

The only problem with encountering these beings was they could appear at anytime and anywhere. With the way they appeared out of the blue, most participants couldn't see their attacks coming.

Fortunately the earth group had someone like E.E on their side so occasionally he would open vortexes to help anyone that was blasted off the ascending pathways.

After crossing another forty thousand feet which took them around two hours, earth group arrived at the end of the right pathway.

Usually thos would mean they would just have to leap upwards to arrive at the next detached pathway but for reasons unknown, there was nothing above.

The detached pathways were nowhere to be found and the monolith continously extended into the distant space.

They met a couple of groups at this edge also waiting and also spotted other groups stranded on the left pathways. The edge of the left pathways wasn't too far off on the side of the monolith. 

It looked like they would have intersected a bit further if both pathways didn't end here.

Gustav immediately looked upwards. 

[God Eyes Has Been Activated]

His sight zoomed into the distance, crossing the golden and smoothened surface of the monolith. 

200 feet ~

500 feet ~

1000 feet ~

1500 feet ~

2000 feet ~

2300 feet~

The moment Gustav sight zoomed past a distance of two thousand three hundred feet, he spotted a detached golden platform with a bunch of participants standing on it.

"Hmm? The Klaxosapes..." Gustav murmured as he noticed that the Klaxosapes were being lifted across the monolith by this platform.

The platform continued rising till it reached the three thousand feet mark and they arrived before a pathway that Gustav suspected led to the bridge between the fourth and fith layer.

It turned out that this ascending platform was one of the only two ways of getting to that height since flying and leaping there was not allowed.

The only other way was if they could climb the monolith and only a very few groups were capable of climbing the monolith at the moment. Earth participants wasn't one of them.

Angy could succeed in running across the monolith's surface to that height if she used her top speed but since they were moving as a group she couldn't do that.

The surface was too smooth and could even be considered slippery for Gustav to successfully run across it to the required height except he was as fast as Angy which wasn't the case.

Gustav could see that the platform had began to descend and upon closer look, there happened to be two golden platforms. Gustav could guess that one platform was supposed to hold participants from the left pathway edge and the other was supposed to hold participants from the right.

The Klaxosapes had made use of both due to their size since one wouldn't be able to transport them both.

While the groups at the edges waited for the platform to descend, Gustav briefed the others about the current predicament. 

"They're aware too," Gustav told the others.

"Oh... doesn't that mean it would turn into a brawl when it descends?" Aildris questioned while staring at the intense expressions on the faces of the groups before them.

"It will," Gustav answered. 

At this point, more groups had arrived behind them and before they knew it, around three hundred participants crowded the edge of the pathways.

-"Hey watch it! You stepped on me!"

-"You watch it pipsqueak!"

-"I will send you to the bottom of the fourth layer!"

The air was getting tensed and the participants aggravated as they began to push one another. 

About four planets here were amongst the top twenty, earth included. These planets were the ones everyone was truly wary about.

Xillion, Oxlrk, Orion and Earth...

"It's coming," Gustav muttered as he spotted the platform less than seven hundred feet away as it descended.

The group faces instantly turned serious as they leapt forward. 

Fwwhiii~

"Not so fast earthings!" The group of Xillions in velvet like armors covering their entire figure also leapt upwards at this moment. 

"We're also here," The upside down cone headed Oxlrkiks voiced loudly as the holes in their chest glowed brightly.

No one was willing to let anyone go before them. Everyone wanted to be the next group to climb the golden platform.

Gustav and the others knew they would have fight their way up there just like the Klaxosapes did as well.

Twwwosssshh!

A powerful crimson beam shot out from the chest of five Oxlrkiks, properly aiming at earth and Xillion participants in mid air.

Vrrrheeei~

A vortex opened up, swallowing all seventeen earth participants in an instant and they arrived on the descending platform. 

The Xillion participants in mid air conjured massive blades and slashed out at the powerful crimson beams shot at them.

Orion participants on the other hand grabbed the floating fluorescent halo above their heads and swung it forward at the platform. 

Weeeeii~ Zhhiiihhh~ Fwwweeii~

The circular glowing weapons streaked across the air arriving before earth participants in an instant.

"Cosmic Finger!"

"Spectrum bind!"

"Purple destruction!"

Yonda, Aildris and Elevora voiced at the same time as they immediately took care of three of these flying halos.

Endric on the other hand conjured a telekinetic barrier that prevented two from nearly decapitating E.E and  Teemee who were a little slower in reacting due to the speed of the halos.

"Yoo thanks Endric," E.E let out a sigh of relief as the halo continuously circulated just a few inches from his face without being able to move further.

Gustav who was at the leff edge of the first platform reached out and grabbed one of before him.

Sinking his fingers into the middle of the glowing circular fluorescent weapon, a loud sizzling sound rang out.

< Kriv ■vL (Planet Klaxosape) Vs Gustav Crimson (Planet Earth) >

Captain Kriv and Gustav had a brief staredown within this vicinity of destruction as a gigantic spacecraft got blasted down from above.

The spacecraft descended towards them but before it could completely crash, both figures moved.

Swwiiihhh~

Gustav's figure turned blurry as he charged at Captain Kriv who also charged vigorously at him as well.

Gustav arched his right arm backwards while clenching his fist strongly as he arrived before the massive and muscular pointy rock like being.

It was like an ant charging at a grasshopper as both figures arrived before each other while the spacecraft craft descending was only a couple of feet away from crashing onto them.

Gustav swung his clenched fist at Captain Kriv who also threw his fist downwards at Gustav's miniscule looking figure.

Boom!

Both fists collided in the next instant, causing a powerful surge of energy to rip across the vicinity.

Bang! 

The force generated from the collision, blasted into the spacecraft descending from above causing it to shoot in another direction forcefully while parts of it dislodged from one another.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Other scraped items and structures in the vicinity were hit as well as the shockwaves spread across the entire stage while the ground caved and the barrier surrounding the battle stage flickered intensely. 

From the first clash alone, spectators had their jaws dropping from the physical strength these two displayed.

Both figures had slid back upon collision but immediately charged at each other once more without a moment of rest.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ripples repeatedly blasted across the vicinity as Gustav and Captain Kriv clashed an uncountable number of times.

Despite Captain Kriv size, his speed was not lacking as he traded furious blows with Gustav that had turned blurry to the audience.

"Reinforce the barrier surrounding their stage," Handler One instructed one of the handlers around him.

"But it already has five layers of reinforcement..." The handler reminded.

"Just do it... make it ten," Just as Handler One said this, the first layer of the barrier blasted to pieces.

Thrrihh~ 

The second layer which was more powerful instantly kicked in, protecting the surroundings and other parts of the arena from the impact of these two battles.

On the stage, Gustav was constantly pushed back as they traded blows. There was no doubt that Captain Kriv was stronger physically. Each punch to Gustav felt like he was taking on the force of multiple fast moving moons.

"Are you insulting me earthling? I told you not to hold back, yaaahhh!" Captain Kriv voiced as he tightened his massive fist furiously and threw a punch forward that was three times more powerful than the previous ones.

Fwwwhiiishhh~

[Dash Has Been Activated]

Gustav's figure suddenly blurred as he appeared behind Captain Kriv the moment he swung his fist forward. 

"Like I said, as you wish," Gustav's voiced as he threw a fist forward from behind with intensity. 

"Hmmmm?" Captain Kriv only realised he had missed at the last moment but his defense kicked in subconsciously as his pointy rocky back made rattling sounds as they twisted and connected to each other.
