The Bloodline System

Chapter 1406: Gustav Vs The World Strongest

Authorʼs Note: Do Not Unlock Yet

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

”I cannot let you take him,” Gustav stated while grabbing the unconscious clone.

However, in the next moment, a star-patterned construct appeared around the body, causing it to vanish.

”Sorry but you canʼt stop me,” Mack responded while the unconscious body appeared beside him in mid-air.

ʼDamn it!ʼ Gustav gritted his teeth before leaping into the air.

Thwwoosshhh~

Heavy wind blasted in every direction as the ground of the forest cracked and trees swayed to the side from the intensity of Gustavʼs speed.

Mack who had already turned away to leave was taken by surprise as the figure in the fox-like mask who he didnʼt know was the real Gustav, appeared beside him in just a split second.

Gustav immediately reached out to grab the clone protected by the triangular star-shaped construct and from the corner of his eye he caught the slight astonishment on Mackʼs face.

However, Mack was much faster as he pulled the floating unconscious clone away and thrust his right palm forward.

Bang!

Gustav was met with a violent clash as his entire body was sent flying across the air upon collision.

”Donʼt push me,” Mack warned after attacking with no intent to inflict gracious injuries.

He turned around and flew forward with the floating unconscious body beside him but didnʼt get very far before a red streak blazed across the sky.

ʼLooks like I might need to knock him out...ʼ Mack decided while turning around swiftly.

Gustavʼs figure appeared right before him with his arm outstretched once more.

”Space construct”

Mack chimed before Gustav could make contact.

Triangular star-shaped enclosures suddenly appeared around Gustavʼs figure and he instantly found himself unable to move.

ʼDamn it...ʼ The space left Gustav completely incapacitated.

There was only one way he knew he could get out of it but he couldnʼt go through with it because he would be risking exposing his identity.

”Chaos construct...” Mack voiced while pointing at the sky.

A massive, glowing, purplish circle with multiple triangular shapes covered the sky and blotted the view of the entire sun.

Gustav was frozen in place but he could sense the incredible pressure from the sky. In the next instant, a powerful torrent of purplish energy rained from the sky like a waterfall.

It charged downwards with immense speed and power, slamming into Gustavʼs frozen figure.

Bang!

it rained down upon the forest which was as large as a town, racing everything in view to the ground.

The fire was unable to breed because, in just a second, the entire vicinity was turned into a charred wasteland.

The trees were gone along with rocks, grasses, highlands, mountains, and almost every atom in view.

All that remained in view was a massive, darkened surface with molten lava in some areas.

”Judging by your strength, that wonʼt be enough to kill you but at the very least you wonʼt be a nuisance anymore,” Mack said before turning away once more and flying into the distance.

”Those geezers better not complain about the destruction, tch,” He grumbled.

Down beneath the pile of ash and molten liquid, a figure sprouted out of the surface with a sizzling cooked flesh.

Reddish marks could be seen all over his burnt skin and hair as he raised his face to stare at the sky.

”Powerful indeed...” The figure voiced with a tone of aspiration.

”Youʼve done it now,” He added while his body began to visibly regenerate at very insane speed.

Silver scales started appearing all over his body as the space around him twisted and violent winds stirred.

Horns protruded from his head as energy gathered around him and he ascended from the surface of the decimated environment.

Thrrihhhh~

His figure suddenly vanished like he teleported and in the next instant, a loud ripping sound rang out heavily.

Grrrhhhhhhh~

The surroundings quaked with intensity as a massive line was torn in the skies. People across multiple cities in the world looked up to the sky and could see the line that cut across it.

Their faces were fraught with clueless expressions but the sound wave that came next, made them cover their ears in horror.

THRRRAAAHHHHHHHH!

It sounded like a thousand thunderbolts merged into one, ringing before each personʼs ear. Some of them already had blood leaking from their eardrums.

They didnʼt know that what was coming next would be even worse.

~A few seconds earlier~

”Huh?” Mack turned in mid-air as he sensed something.

”Nature cons…” Before he could complete his sentence, the skies ripped open with rifts appearing all over.

BOM!

It sounded like thousands of loud explosions went off as an incredibly quick streak rammed heavily into Mack.

Both figures tore across the sky at such insane speed, that more rifts appeared in their wake.

Mack was completely astounded as he tried to free himself from the figure that clung to him with unprecedented grip.

”How are you still conscious?” Mack voiced as he held onto Gustavʼs arms and began slowly spreading them.

When he noticed he was losing hold, Gustav spun repeatedly and flung Mack away.

Fwwhhiiiii!

Mack found himself catapulting downwards at a speed that not a single mixed blood would be able to follow. Before he could try to stabilize himself, he slammed into the surface of an ocean, causing a massive torrent to blast upwards.

Boooomm~

It was as though another explosion had gone off as Mack hit the bottom of the ocean instantly. A cyclone was generated as a radius of more than fifty thousand feet was cleared of water and walls of ocean waves spread to other areas.

Mack broke through the ocean bed and continuously kept falling further underground from the force of the throw.

The cloneʼs unconscious body which still had triangular-shaped star constructs around it was flying toward the ocean when Gustav grabbed it forcefully.

”Gotta put this in my personal space,” He voiced with a struggling tone as he tightened his hand around the construct in a bid to break through it and retrieve the cloneʼs body.

Unfortunately, the construct seemed unbreakable despite the amount of pressure Gustav inflicted on it.

ʼI have no choice but to use it,ʼ Gustav could only pray that it didnʼt get noticed as a stack of multicolored rhombuses phased out of his left palm area.

Trrrihh~

”Just the construct,” Gustav instructed.

In the next instant, the construct was consumed by Cohilia, leaving Gustavʼs unconscious clone untouched.

Gustav reached out to grab the clone before it could fall but before he made contact with it…

Fwwiii~

A yellow streak came out of nowhere and snatched the clone from him.

ʼDamn it… I wasnʼt fast enough,ʼ Gustav gritted his teeth.

Mack had the clone in his grasp as he appeared hundreds of feet away from Gustav.

”You… I cannot ignore your level of strength even though it is beneath mine. Someone as powerful as you are will not be able to go unnoticed since there are not a lot of mixed-bloods on this level of strength… who are you?” Mack questioned with a perceptible tone of interest.

Although Gustavʼs demon fox-like mask had been disintegrated when Mack attacked earlier, one still couldnʼt tell how he looked at the moment. This was because Gustav activated Ultimate Combination, which had completely altered his human look.

”I am nobody,” Gustav answered with the same fake middle-aged voice he had been using all this time.

”Who knows… I might just leave the kid to you if you revealed who you are,” Mack grinned lightly while proposing.

ʼNo you wouldnʼt,ʼ Gustav said internally and he was right.

Who in their right senses would let go of the original and a clone at the same time?

”I will no longer take your acts lightly if you keep this up,” Knowing he couldnʼt get Gustav to spill the beans, Mack warned heavily.

”Just give him back and I will be out of your way,” Gustav remained unyielding as well.

”I canʼt do that,” Mack stated.

”Spac…” Before he could completely cast any ability, Gustav moved like a lightning bolt.

Thrraazzhh!

He arrived before Mack in an instant while throwing out a glowing icy fist.

ʼThis will be very damaging if I donʼt evade or counter,ʼ Mack was a bit faster but he knew he only had two choices at this moment since complete evasion while holding onto the clone was impossible.

Fwhiii!

He let go of the clone and raised his right arm to block Gustavʼs attack while arching his left arm backward to thrust a counter-palm strike at Gustavʼs gut.

Booom!

A loud crash that reverberated across the entirety of the earth rang out as Gustavʼs fists collided with Mackʼs arm. Mackʼs face barely displayed an affected look as his palm rammed into Gustavʼs knee at the same moment.

Gustav had raised his knee to block the palm strike and now they had both hit each other with enough force to split the earth in two.

BOM!

The entirety of the earth quaked intensely as they were both sent catapulting backward.

ʼHe tricked me… that attack was much more powerful than I sensed.ʼ
