Chapter 1163: Will You Be Joining Me?

Authorʼs Note: Unedited Chapter

”Yeah you get chased and if a teammate gets caught, they are disqualified. However, so long as one teammate remains till the game ends, the planet can progress to the next stage,” Gustav added.

”This seems more tricky than it sounded at first,” Aildris voiced out.

”Its fine so long as i dont get caught, right?” Angy stated as well.

”Yes,” Gustav replied.

”Alright then I wonʼt get caught,” Angy voiced confidently.

”You donʼt even know what youʼll be running from yet,” Gustav chuckled but he didnʼt doubt Angyʼs capabilities.

”You can add any other two persons from the team since it doesnʼt matter if they donʼt do well,” Angy said.

”While I admire the confidence, we still need to make sure your backups are up to par. We can never be fully prepared for unexpectancies,” Gustav replied before turning to stare at the rest of the teammates.

”Phinx and Abestos youʼre with Angy,” Gustav instructed.

Phinx turned to stare at Angy giving her a look with hidden meanings.

”Nothing beats the original,” Angy stated in response to her look.

”Uh sure... does this mean Iʼm permitted?” Phinx inquired.

Angy didnʼt respond until Gustav gave her a look down, ”This time sheʼson your side so it shouldnʼt matter... infact its good,” Gustav voiced.

”Tch alright sure,” Angy replied before taking her seat.

”Abestos, i picked you cos youʼre one of the fastest here besides Angy and myself so make sure to hold on as best as you can,” Gustav addeessed Abestos who was seated all this time with his arms crossed.

”No problem... I just hope we gather enough points to make it worthwhile,” Abestos voiced.

”As for the Seismic Climb only two participants are needed... Iʼm picking two teammates with the strongest grip,” Gustav announced as he moved around.

He arrived in front of Teemee first and stretched forth his hand.

”Shake me with all of your strength,” Gustav instructed.

Teemeeʼs face turned serious as he stood to his feet and stretched his hand forward to shake Gustavʼs.

Ghrrrhhh~

An unprecendented pressure spread across the place as they shook hands but without the shaking.

The place began to quake as they stared facedown while their hands were clasped to each other.

”Alright thatʼs enough,” Gustav said before separating and moving onto the next person without saying another world.

”Try not to destroy the building weʼre staying from a handshake,” Gustav stated as he arrived before Falco.

---

Hours later during midnight, Gustav stood in a part of the building corridor while staring through the massive traingular glass wall.

Other oddly shaped buildings could be spotted in the distance as he stood in place like he was in a deep trance.

”What is it?” Angy questioned while approaching from behind.

”Nothing,” Gustav replied without turning around.

”It doesnʼt seem like nothing,” Angy said as she arrived on his left.

”My sensory perception is getting interfered with...” Gustav voiced.

”Hmm? Does that mean you were trying to spy on the other accommodations?” Angy inquired.

”Yes. I am always curious about my opponents,” Gustav answered.

He had made use of God Eyes to try and spy on the other alien species around but there was something interfering with it.

Gustav knew he could forcefully push God Eyes to break past the interference but he was also aware that the moment he did that, the ones responsible for the interference would immediately trace it back to his location.

His default perception was also encountering the same interference which was the reason for his response to Angy.

”Didnʼt you already make research though?” Angy inquired.

”I did but no form of research is every enough especially when itʼs done from database. Itʼs always better to acquire more information from the source itself,” Gustav replied.

”Thatʼs the Draconets accommodation area, right?” Angy questioned as she noticed where Gustavʼs gaze was fixated upon.

”It is,”

”Werenʼt you more worried about the Klaxosapes? The Draconets werenʼt even top ten in the first challenge,”

”Pffft Angy youʼre truly unaware about the situation,”

”Hmm?”

”Based on my findings so far, around two hundred and thirty seven out of almost three thousand planets hold a threat to us as we are now.

That is precisely four thousand, seven hundred and  forty opponents with the potential to cause our disqualification in IYSOP,”

Angyʼs face displayed a look of disbelief as she heard Gustav reveal this.

”Over four thousand? Thatʼs... thatʼs a lot,” Angy voiced with a nervous tone.

”Thereʼs also the probability that throughout the entirety of IYSOP we wonʼt encounter up to 80% of them due to the sheer numbers of IYSOP participants. However encountering a couple of them is inevitable and thereʼs no telling which one it will be and how high or low they are ranked on my danger list,” Gustav explained.

Angy knew Gustav to be very calculative so she wasnʼt surprised about how he was stating his thoughts. This had also helped him take care of many battles that couldnʼt be toppled with just strength or power alone.

”So the Klaxosapes...”

”The Klaxosapes are not even top twenty on the danger list. The Draconets rank higher than them,” Gustav cut Angy short before she could complete her sentence.

”Thatʼs crazy talk but coming from you... I actually believe it,” Angy stated in response.

”The first challenge made things disadvantageous to a lot of species but the Klaxosapes were barely disadvantaged. The only thing they have going for them is their strength but some of these other species who couldnʼt use their abilities are more ten times more dangerous,” Gustav voiced.

”The Tribetes, The Draconets, The Hixtos and even the Ozis are more dangerous than the Klaxosapes,” Gustav only mentioned a few as he was still making findings.

”The first challenge was not enough to observe but I can tell that things will get more difficult in the future,” A smirk appeared on Gustavʼs face as he said this.

He wanted to address the group as well but he decided not to yet.

”Youʼre too excited about this,” Angy complained.

”Its no fun if they are not strong enough,” Gustav replied.

”You should go to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day for you,” Gustav added.

”Will you be joining me?” She questioned while moving closer to him.

With their faces only inches apart, Gustav took a whiff of her feminine fragrance and held his breath to control himself.

”No,” He replied while his ears were turning red.

”You should,” Angy said with a seductive tone before planting a peck on his face and walking away.

Gustavʼs cheeks had turned red at this point as he stared at her walking away.

”Women are dangerous,” He muttered while finally breathing out to calm himself.

”I should focus on my current task,” He turned his sight towards the front again before suddenly vanishing from his standing point.

Cheers~ Cheers~ Cheers~ Cheers~

The sound of loud cheering reverberated across a massive arena like area. Millions could once again be seen gathered in the spectators areas.

This was the same venue as yesterday where the first IYSOP challenge held.

The spectators were hyped as they waited for the second main challenge since today happened to be the second day.

The participants were making their way to the arena in groups while some were still outside the arena since it hadnʼt kicked off yet.

The earth participants were currently standing somewhere close to the earth spectators. An elderly looking man in silver colored MBO uniform seemed to be addressing them.

”Iʼm glad to see that you all are okay thanks to Aimee,” Great Commander Shion voiced out.

”I didnʼt do anything old man. They had already taken care of the situation before I arrived,” Miss Aimee corrected him from the side.

”*cough cough* still they wouldnʼt have arrived here earlier if it werenʼt for you,” Great Commander Shion replied.

”Youngsters do great out there today. I trust that you wonʼt fail earth,” He added.

”Sure old man,” Gustav responded before turning around.

ʼThey are truly master and disciple,ʼ Great Commander Shion had the urge to curse.

ʼAs expected of the old man, I knew he would find his way here himself,ʼ Gustav wasnʼt surprised about the turn out.

A loud announcement reverberated across the arena like area.

At this point every IYSOP participant began to make their way to the arena. Gustav and the others looked intimidating in their battle suits as they climbed down steadily.

The podium on the far East extended upwards again as the Handler from yesterday rose above the spectators and participants alike.

”I shall now announce the rules for the River Split challenge,” Handler One stated causing everyoneʼs attention to be fixated on him as silence reigned for a couple of seconds.

”First, no physical battles with an opposing team js allowed...”

Gustav and everyone noted the rules as the river splitting challenge illustrations were displayed on the massive floating screens above.

”Oh? So weʼll be using that...”
