Chapter 1165 Activating Self Destruct

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

WWWHIIIIIHHH~

A massive milky colored arc shot forth once again, ripping the ground open as it headed for the river.

It cut two hundred thousand feet across the long river with intensity, causing waves to jump to the sides.

The ground floor of the river was instantly revealed as the force from the swing kept sweeping forward till it arrived at the middle of the river.

It began losing momentum until it finally came to a stop after reaching the third quarter of the river, blowing only a little part of the water towards the sigh.

Ooouuuuu~

The voices from the spectators corner had reduced as some of them witnessed this.

"Whuutt? Ghrrhhh!" The Klaxosape voiced in dissatisfaction.

"Try again Gunfur," The captain of the Klaxosape who happened to be the largest stated far behind where they were cooped up.

Gunfur looked back and could see that his opponent from the Ozis side just finished splitting the fourth river and was now moving to the fifth.

"Tiissshh~ I still have two more tries," He hissed before raising the axe once more.

Krrrycchhhhh~

More pointy rocks appeeared on his arms as it became even larger than before.

"Yaaahhhhhhh!" Gunfur roared once mroe as he swung the axe downwards with intensity.

WWWHIIIIIHHH~

This time an even more powerful blast rang out as the force from the swing, sliced through the air and arrived before the river instantly.

It split more than half of the river in the next moment as waves rose into the air on the left and right sides simultaneously.

Breaking past the third quarter of the river, the arc created from the force began to lose momentum. The instant it broke through the start of the fourth quarter, the arc lost momentum completely and whittled out.

Gunfur had a look of seriousness as he realised that this still was unable to split the entirety of the seventh river.

"Ghhhrrhh!" He growled in disappointment as he looked back and noticed that the Ozis had arrived at the sixth river.

Once the Ozis opponent managed to split the sixth, both of them would have the same progress. His speed at the start would have been for nothing.

'I didn't want to use this initially but there is no other option. I must get to the eight river,' He said internally.

"Gunfur is going to use core transformation,"

"It doesn't look like he has any other choice,"

His teammates watching from behind could already tell what was about to happen.

"So long as he progresses and wins, it doesn't matter even though he will be weaker for the next three days," The captain also spoke.

Up ahead Gunfur clenched his fist as he roared once more while his body began to rapidly enlarge.

Krrrychhh~ Gllliiiiirrhhhh~

Rock cracking sounds rang out for a couple of seconds as his initial fifteen feet tall frame increased almost three times in size.

-"Now the Ozis have no chance of winning,"

This was the thought process of most spectators who had their eyes fixed on the screen that displayed planet Klaxosape and Ozious.

WWWHIIIIIHHH~

Gunfur once more swung his axe forward which now seemed a bit smaller for him due to his large size.

The force generated from this swing was almost a hundred more than before. Cracks and dust spread across the vicinity from his standing point as the arc created shot forward.

The whole river was instantly split into two halves before the arc ran out of momentum.

Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

At this same instant, the Ozis had arrived before his own seventh river. He pulled the string to his bow backward as the same brown arrow made from light rays appeared once more.

"Tuk," Gunfur scoffed as he waited to watch the Ozis lose but was soon left with a look of dismay.

Fwwwhiiiiiiiisshhh~

The instant the Ozis released his string, the arrow powerfully shot forward, clearing everything in its path.

As it glided over the surface of the river, waves blasted sideways, leaving clear path in the middle.

The ground floor of the river was spotted in the middle as its entirety was split instantly.

Gasp~ Cheers~ Cheers~ Cheers~

The sounds of shocks and cheers reverberated across the vicinity as both the spectators and Gunfur was left with looks of disbelief.

The Ozis proceeded to move towards the next and Gunfur quickly brought himself out of his reverie as he charged forward as well.

"I can't lose!" He yelled as he arrived before the eight river with a look of confidence.

He wss still in his massive form as he swung his axe forward with all of his migjt once more.

Minutes later~

"I lost," Gunfur stood in place with a look of confoundment as his body decreased in size.

Bam!

He fell to his knees with a look of defeat as he stared at the river before him which was in an unaffected state even after he had swung his axe with all of his might.

On his opponent side, A completely split river could be seen up ahead.

The Ozis slowly lowered his bow as the screens displayed the current score.

<<< Planet Klaxosape 0 - 1 Planet Ozious >>>

The Ozis had won the first bout since Gunfur had made use of his last turn which meant failure if he was unable to split the river.

Everyone had been mostly shocked because upon their arrival at the eight river, the Ozis bow increased in size and when he pulled the string, three massive arrows had appeared instead of one.

"It turned out he had been saving his power for this moment... as expected of Planet Ozious captain," Everyone came to the realisation that Ozious captain,  Rundalf, used a high amount of power at this stage.

The eight river was like trying to hit a solidly refined ground. Due to the gravitational force it was very sturdy.

After the two opponents finished their bout, both sides sent out their next representatives.

Another one of the Klaxosapes moved out as well as an Ozis as a new bout began.

"Just because the first one won, doesn't mean it will always be like that. They still need to win ten more times before they can eradicate the opposition," Unda stated from the platform.

"Sure sure," Gustav smiled while responding as they kept watching.

...

Hours later~

"What... how?" Unda stood in place with a look of shock as the results for the first batch displayed on the screens.

<<< Planet Klaxosape 3 - 11 Planet Ozious >>>

<<< Planet Ozious Wins >>>

<<<Planet Draconets 11 - 1 Planet Cirus >>>

<<< Planet Draconets Wins >>>

<<< Planet Foheng 7 - 11 Planet Tribetes >>>

<<< Planet Tribetes Wins >>>

<<< Planet Diov 11 - 0 Planet Thoxilos >>>

<<< Planet Diov Wins >>>

<<< Planet Osiris 11 - 5 Planet Astrion >>>

<<< Planet Osiris Wins >>>

...

The list continued with different screens showing the outcome of the first batch for the River Splitting Challenge.

It turned out Planet Ozious who looked weaker in comparison to Planet Klaxosape had won just as Gustav predicted.

Unda looked completely shattered as he stared at Gustav's devilish grin along with his condescending gaze.

"Shit! This idiot is done for," Their captain cursed upon seeing the outcome of the bet.

The entire arena was still loud with cheers and moans of disappointment in different corners, unaware of the wager that had just gone down.

The first batch of Planets participants were getting off the arena at this point as the computerized system began pairing the next set of planets.

"We're up Gus," Aildris voiced from the side as earth appeared on one of the screens above.

"I'll be getting that Sway after we're done... make sure you don't run," Gustav announced with a strong tone.

Unda slumped onto the ground upon hearing that as the rest of his teammates also had looks of horror on their faces.

It turned out that only the Klaxosapes captain and two others had managed to win their opponents in the river splitting challenge. The Ozis were just too powerful despite how weak looking they were.

Gustav and the others moved towards the platform that brough them to the very end of the arena where the river splitting challenge would begin.

He stared at the rivers up ahead with a contemplative expression. So far no one had managed to successfully split the ninth river completely.

The only person who came close to completing this feat was the Klaxosapes captain whose team still lost eventually. Only a few managed to cut a little into the ninth river which included participants from Planets Gustav had dubbed dangerous.

"Looks like its our turn next,"

---ss

"Am i supposed to battle whatever that eye is or what?" Gustav questioned while raising his eyebrows.

("No that is nothing compared to what is coming...") The system replied with a cryptic tone.

Gustav; "..."

"The only hint i can give you is, what had just happened today is one of the five premonitions,")  The system added.

"Five premonitions? Does that mean four more similar events will take place in the future?" Gustav questioned.
