Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
"He isn't Barron Diov… He is Gustav Crimson," General Borl revealed with a tone of wariness.
"Who is that?" Emperor Dhios questioned with a clueless tone.
"The one wanted by the alliance… The youngster who almost became the champion of IYSOP!" General Borl yelled.
Emperor Dhios had a look of confusion for a couple of moments before his face suddenly lit up with an expression of realization.
"The Planet Destroyer?!" Emperor Dhios voiced with a loud tone.
General Borl nodded in affirmation.
Emperor Dhios turned to stare at the figure in dark robes floating ahead of them with an extremely wary expression.
"That is him?" Emperor Dhios was still in a state of shock.
He wasn't one to care about the state of things on other planets or concern himself with the shenanigans of the alliance but there was no one who hadn't heard one or two things about what happened with Planet Ozious.
As one of the leaders of the alliance, planet Ozious destruction was wide spread and amidst all the noise, one person's name would always come up… GUSTAV CRIMSON.
"Well, since you know who I am now I guess there is no point in maintaining this form," Barron Diov voiced from the other end while his physical appearance began undergoing a visible change.
By the time the transformation was complete, what appeared in their line of sight was the face of an extremely enchanting male figure. His long dirty blonde hair looked so silky, anyone would easily long to caress them. His jawline was so well chiseled that not even the prettiest of male models on earth would be able to contend. His lips so perfectly outlined that even beautiful girls would grow jealous…
However, his eyes bore an incredible cold and piercing gaze that would make even the demons shiver at the sight of them. The moment Gustav took of the shade covering his face, Emperor Dhios and General Borl subconsciously moved back.
Those were no ordinary eyes…
The energy emancipating from his figure had suddenly undergone a great change. Emperor Dhios now understood why they were losing.
"Where is Quasp?" Emperor Dhios asked.
"He is supposed to have gotten the message and arrived here. I don't know why he is late," General Borl answered.
"Don't worry about your other General. I took care of him on my way here," Gustav voiced from the other end with the side of his lips curving upwards.
"What do you mean by…" Before Emperor Dhios could complete his statement, Gustav snapped his finger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPah!
A teal colored bald head, smeared with bloodstains appeared in his grasp.
Emperor Dhios and General Borl eyes instantly widened as they stared at the head with looks of disbelief.
'That is the strongest of my five generals… how did he?' Emperor Dhios was taken even more aback now.
"Turns out he already knew the full story before you did Dhios. He came after me immediately instead of heading here, nearly slaughtering my daughter in the process… or rather, fake daughter…" Gustav said while recalling what happened before he headed for this location.

"Matilda is in trouble. I am going to help her," Gustav said to Sersi within their accommodation room.
"But father, the timer says twenty minutes left," Sersi voiced while pointing at the holographic projection before them.
"Yeah but she is in trouble… Gotta step in so she doesn't get killed," Gustav voiced while heading for the entrance.
"Stay here," Gustav instructed before vanishing.
Twhhhiiiiihhh~
He instantly reappeared nearly a thousand feet above the massive structure.
[Hover Has Been Activated]
Gustav was about to turn around and fly away when he sensed something. He paused in that moment and a blue star streaked from the east corner of the sky.
Bang!
It crashed into the structure below at insane speed, infiltrating it in the blink of an eye.
A powerful surge of energy had sent everything within a ten thousand feet mile radius flying. The mountains around crumbled and intense winds blew across the place, leaving only a bit of the accommodation area left.
It wasn't a star…
Gustav eyes squinted as he descended immediately.
Fwwhhiii!
"Where is he?!"
The moment he landed within the accommodation area whose top had been completely blasted off, he came across an unnerving scene.
A bald headed teal skinned male in blue armor and a massive six feet long axe strapped to his back, had Sersi's neck in his grasp.
"General Quasp! That is one of the Emperor guests," A few guards who had survived the destruction of this infrastructure voiced out the moment they realized who the perpetrator was.
"They are traitors," The bald headed teal skinned figure responded with a strong tone.
"Do not interfere," He added with a commanding tone.
The guards instantly backed away upon hearing this.
Sersi was held against a cracked wall as she struggled to free herself from his grasp. Frost had spread from her body to that of General Quasp's but he remained unaffected by it.
"I said… where is he?!" General Quasp inquired once more with a tone that left no room for negotiation.
Gustav stood a couple feet behind them but didn't move. Instead, he watched the scene with a curious glare.
"I… do…n't know…" Sersi coughed multiple times while trying to get words out.
"You will meet your maker if you don't tell me where he went right away!" The bald headed teal skinned male figure stated once more.
Sersi's entire body was emitting a lot of frost at this moment and even the vicinity had ice all over which were turning into spikes.
Thrrrihhhh~ Thrrrihhhh~ Thrrrihhhh~
Massive icy spikes formed in mid air and shot towards the assailant in the next moment.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Despite their size and incredible power, they all got smashed to pieces the moment they made contact with the assailant's back.
"Such weakness! Do you believe the likes of you could cause even me even the slightest injury? HAHAHA FOOL!" He laughed maniacally before tightening his grasp around Sersi's neck and leaping into the air.
Fwwwhhhiiiii!
They ascended up to ten thousand feet across the air in an instant, piercing through the night clouds like rocket launchers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGustav looked up with an indifferent expression as he noticed their descent.
Thwwwoosshhh~
General Quasp had Sersi faced downward as they descended from the height of over ten thousand feet without slowing.
Boom!
A large crash rang out, bringing with it a powerful shockwave that sent a blast so strong, everything within a ten mile radius was leveled.
Gustav stood in the midst of this destruction as everything around him was obliterated. His robes flapped intensely but he remained unscathed.
He remained in a state of levitation as he stared down at the destruction before him. A large crater was situated below which he proceeded to descend into.
In the middle of the crater, was General Quasp atop Sersi, with his hand still wrapped around her throat.
The frost surrounding Sersi's figure shattered revealing her bloodied body. She was bleeding from her head, eyes, nose and mouth. It also seemed she had shattered a lot of bones internally. Her entire body looked battered.
"It is commendable that you survived that but your body will be obliterated if I do it one more time…" General Quasp ignored her hurried breathing and brought his face close to hers before asking once more.
"Where is he? Tell me if you wish to survive,"
Sersi mouth opened slightly before turning into a smile.
"Hihihi," She giggled lightly, causing General Quasp face to light up in anguish.
"Are you laughing at me? Such insolence! I will hack you to pieces and feed your remains to the beasts!" General Quasp yelled while reaching for the axe strapped to his back.
The massive six feet axe instantly lit up with a blue glow the moment he grabbed it. He raised it and swung it downwards at Sersi's figure, separating her into two halves.
"Huh?" General Quasp uttered as he noticed that he only thought he swung the axe down successfully.
His hand was still raised with the axe in his grasp and Sersi was still underneath him alive. He tried to lower his hand but no matter how much he tried, he was unable to.
He slowly turned his face around and that was when he spotted the figure… The person he had been looking for all this time.
"Gustav Crimson!" He yelled in anguish, forgetting that up onto a moment ago he couldn't sense any presence.
Gustav who was still taking on the form of Barron Diov was a little surprised at the time. He didn't think the opposition was aware of his original identity.
However, he still reacted calm with his fingers wrapped around the blade of the axe.
He had moved to stop General Quasp from hacking Sersi since he decided this had gone on for long enough
"How powerful is this axe?" He voiced while yanking it out of General Quasp grasp and kicking him forward.
Bang!
