The Bloodline System



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

He immediately spotted a figure up hundreds of feet up ahead in green vest who was inches away from making contact with a piece of the medallion. 

Gustav was no doubt very quick but there was no way he would get to this participant before they made contact with the medallion. It was literally right before them. One could say they already made contact.

Swwoossshhh~

Just when the hand was only half a inch from making contact, a silver streak collided with the figure in green vest.

Bang!

The participant was sent hurling across the air while the silver streak materialised atop the medallion.

"Angy..." Gustav heaved a sigh of relief as he trotted forward. 

Fwwhiisshhh~ 

He grabbed a Klaxosape from behind his head and pushed him into the ground.

Bang!

At this moment Captain Vilax and Ostril were in a battle with each other. Both sides seemed to be evenly matched but Captain Ostril had managed to keep Captain Vilax away from the medallion. 

However, Captain Vilax wasn't the only captain here. Captains from other planets were engaging the others. 

Fortunately, Gustav had really managed to take out more than half of the opposing participants earlier so only around five hundred had made it through the hole created on the barricade.

The red still had a thousand participants on their side so the opposition was currently outnumbered.

Fwwhoossshh ~

Gustav went through the hole and stamped his foot on the ground.

Bang!

Iro silk arose from the broken down part of the barricade and immediately covered it before more participants could get through. 

He stamped his foot again and more iro silks shot out of the ground, covering the entirety of the barricade like a second layer of defence. 

"Ria!" Gustav yelled.

Unfortunately, Ria seemed to be engaging a couple of participants at the moment. 

He turned the ground around him to a sinking lava terrain causing the participants to shriek in pain as their legs got flamed.

Covering his entire body in dark rocks, he looked like a humanoid monster as he charged at the participants, landing heavy hits on them.

Swwoosshh~

Gustav arrived before him like a phantom.

"Go fortify that place, leave this to me," Gustav voiced. 

Ria nodded before turning to head towards the barricade. 

While Ria was adding his layer of defence around the barricade, Gustav dealt with the participants on this side very swiftly.

E.E had conjured tens of vortexes all around the medallion with immense suction forces. Anyone that got close to it, would be sucked into the vortexes and arrive on the outskirts of the barricade.

Gustav was grabbing as many participants as he could and hurling them at the vortexes.

In about a minute, only around ten participants with different vest colors were left.

These ten participants were all captains and they were currently outnumbered despite their strength. 

"All we need to do is touch it and from there we can figure out the rest..." Captain Vilax had a frustrated look as he and the rest of the captains made an encirclement with their backs touching.

"What is the medallion made of?" The Orion Captain questioned. 

"Different materials but mostly stretenum... what are you thinking?" Captain Vilax inquired. 

"I'm thinking we don't have to touch the medallion to seperate the reds from it," The moment Orion captain voiced this out, he grabbed the halo floating above his head.

Fewwhiiii~

He flung it upwards...

At this moment, only around twenty seconds were left before the medallion would be successfully captured.

The halo arrived about three hundred feet above the medallion and Gustav suddenly appeared beside it.

"Not on my watch..." He muttered while reaching out to slap the glowing circular object away.

The moment Gustav had came into contact with it, he suddenly found himself stuck.

"Huh?" He let out a surprised exclamation as the halo suddenly emitted a burst of bright glow and multiplied.

Thiiinnghhh~ Thiiinnghhh~ Thiiinnghhh~ Thiiinnghhh~ 

Tens of halos appeared underneath the one Gustav got stuck to, all under the umbrella of a penetrative pillar of fluorescent colored light.

The pillar of light emitted from the multiple halos descended upon the Medallion below and an unexpected event occurred. 

Bang!

A powerful charge blasted forth from the medallion, sending every single participant around it flying.

Every one making contact with the medallion was also sent flying at the same moment the charge blasted forth.

"Yes!"

"We did it,"

Orion captain and the others voiced with looks of trumph.

Although they had not managed to start capturing the medallion they were glad the first step had been taken. Had red managed to hold for the next twenty seconds, all would have been lost.

At the very least they had more time to break down the barricade and capture the medallion for their various colors or so they thought...

"Hold on... The screens..." Captain Vilax voiced while pointing at one of the screen above. 

[===========■]

[Red Is Capturing The Medallion]

[15 Seconds]

[14 Seconds]

[13 Seconds]

"What the hell? How?"

"It should have stopped and started afresh even if a person just touched it," Orion Captain voiced with a look of disbelief. 

"Look! There's a hand!" Ghundabault Captain said while pointing at a part of the medallion. 

It was barely visible due to the angle where it made contact but the captains managed to trace it out and noticed it came from above.

"Not him again,"

"Captain Crimson?"

Their eyes were shot looks of astonishment and disbelief as they looked upwards. Gustav had one of his arm extended from above, making contact with the medallion. 

It turned out that when Gustav got stuck after making contact with the halo, he moved all of his abilities towards the left side of his body. After regaining control there, his first thought was to activate Size Manipulation.

He extended his arm downwards to touch the medallion at the same moment the charge blasted forth.

Gustav's hands were touching the medallion before everyone got blasted away from it. This also meant that red never stopped touching the medallion. 

The ten captains who were initially getting engaged had more to worry about as they got instantly crowded.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the pressure of the hundreds of angry participants under the red color, they got grounded and took tons of damages.

...

About a minute later, the screens all displayed one thing.

[Red Has Captured The Medallion]

Cheers~ Cheers~ Cheers~

Loud cheers rang out across the arena. The spectators spat excited remarks about this challenge that had lasted less than thirty minutes.

It was the shortest major challenge since IYSOP began but it had been extremely captivating and exciting. 

Gustav was the highlight of today's challenge. The spectators couldn't stop talking about him and the craziness he showed today taking on three thousand participants all by himself. 

The two most asked questions about Gustav after the challenge ended were...

How many supernatural abilities does he possess...? Can he take other people's supernatural abilities...?

The participants from other colors were at a loss and displayed gloomy expressions when it was time to leave the arena after disqualification.

All of a sudden the Handlers and a couple of MBO officers descended upon the arena with Miss Aimee.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The spectators and participants were all surprised when they saw the newly arrived group surround Indulus Prime Members.

"You're coming with us," One of the Handlers voiced to the captain. 

"Hmm... Why?" Captain Irand questioned with his dark eyes deepening with shadiness.

"Vikrush Insa..." Miss Aimee stated.

Captain Irand's eyes widened slightly the moment he heard that and he turned to stare at Gustav who stood up ahead with folded arms.

Suddenly...

Whoossshhh~

All Indulus Prime members dashed in different directions in a bid to escape the encirclement. 

"Bind hi..." Before the Handler could complete his sentence...

Twwisshhhh~

A cage appeared in their midst and within this cage was every single one of the Indulus Prime members. 

"There you go," Miss Aimee voiced.

The Handlers jaws nearly dropped upon witnessing this. Miss Aimee had captured every single one of them before the Handlers moved.

She had been so fast that they didn't even witness her perform this action. She was done before they could act.

"Ahem... yes... take them away," The Handler with the highest authority commanded.

The handlers wasted no time taking the Indulus Prime participants away, leaving the entire audience in confusion. 

They soon noticed that the Indulus Prime spectators area was void of any Indulus Prime species as well.

'What is going on?'

A lot of them had this question on their minds and even voiced it out but only Gustav knew what this was especially since they were taken because of him.

"Gustav, you should come too..." Miss Aimee said before flying after them.

Gustav nodded before turning around to face his teammates. 

"What is that all about?" Angy asked.

"What I've been spending time investigating... and the reason I got here late today," Gustav last sentence hinted at the rift that appeared above the arena.
