Chapter 1280 It Is Only Fair

1280 It Is Only Fair

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

"Hehe, praise me again," Vera was acting like a happy little girl before Gustav.

Some of them weren't surprised since they knew only Gustav could bring out this side of her but the others were genuinely shocked as this was the first time they saw Vera had a proper dialogue with anyone.

"You've really made good progress, I'm proud," Gustav patted her head again while the vicinity remained loud from battles.

Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Some of the most intense battles were ensuing in about five different stages. The most intensive battles were participants from planets who were top twenty.

The spectators were even more fired up at this moment as participants they had always wanted to see in a fight were finally battling.

"Ghalazer, throw in the towel before i beat you to a pulp,"

"I'm giving you the same offer, Melthu,"

Two figures, one with a large hole in his chest and the other structured like a mechanical bot voiced out before charging towards each other.

On another stage two participants rom planet Qivendale and Torin were also facing each other and had laid waste to the surroundings.

Since planets participants had been mostly challenging weaker opponents so as to steal points easily, there had only been a few rare cases where the matchup were two powerful opponents of nearly equal standing.

This time there were five of them, making the versus battle challenge way more entertaining than it had been at the start.

Gustav was sure the Handlers didn't expect this yet since the turn of events so far would have led to weaker planets continously getting picked on till all of their points were lost. Which would eventually lead to the disqualification of weaker ones.

No doubt this was how things would still unfold but it was surprising that stronger planets had begun challenging one another already.

-"The Phixiq are one of the darkhorses this year,"

-"Yeah by this time in the last IYSOP they were already disqualified,"

-"Not just them, albeit weird, the Diaporonians are still in the game,"

-"Let's not forget Indulus Prime... they were not even close to being this powerful in the last IYSOP,"

Gustav could hear a group of oldies chattering away on the far end of the arena. It turned out Earth wasn't the only planet who had major improvements. What caught his ears was mostly the mention of Planet Indulus Prime.

'Them again... truly getting more suspicious,' Gustav thought.

Other planets high on the ranking currently were usually amongst those who made it to the last stage. Earth always made it to the last stage as well but never won. This was the first time they had ever attained such a high rank.

The planet that had won the last time were also currently the hosts, the Ozis. The Draconets had come second the last time but now things were different.

Planet Ozious was currently in third position. Almost like the places had been reversed. This time more powerful participants had come from different planets. Captain Strum was an anomaly himself and so many other participants who were considered to be amongst the strongest. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Earth was leading now but it was still unknown who would win. Things could take a turn at anytime.

As time went by, the expectation of the Handlers played out. At he twenty seventh batch, up to eighty different planets had already lost the last of their points.

Up to a hundred others were slowly closing in on the brink of disqualification as well. Even if some didn't lose all of their points, they were still very troubled as the number of points needed to remain in IYSOP was still unknown.

Pat!

A small pat on the shoulder brought her out of her reverie as a warm masculine voice followed.

"You're bleeding," Endric said while passing her a small piece of handkerchief like clothing.

"Endric tha..." Just as she was about to show appreciation, Endric face closed in on her left ear.

"Trust me, you deserve worse than just simply bleeding," He whispered in her ear coldly, causing shivers to run down her spine.

'I knew it! They truly had it out for me!' Yuhiko froze in place as color left her face.

'They could both easily kill me if they want but didn't... they must want to.torture me,'

Endric turned around after the small whisper and began heading forward.

"Where are you going?" Aildris questioned with a slightly confused expression seeing as the batch just ended and the computerised systems were still picking out the next one hundred and fifty participants.

"It's my turn now," Endric replied.

Immediately after he said this...

Thrriiihh~

The list of one hundred and fifty participants for the next batch appeared on the screens above and Endric's name as well as his face was included.

"How did you...?" E.E was about to question how in the world Endric was aware that it was his turn but Endric was already far gone.

"How the hell did he know?" E.E stared at Endric then stared in Gustav's direction with a befuddled expression.

Gustav just displayed a clueless smile without responding.

"You two are really something else," E.E had ths urge to scream this out.

They were two monstrous brothers after all...

'I guess that Time Candidate thingy does come in handy for him,' Gustav said internally while staring at Endric enter a stage.

("You have no idea... The way your perception works on detecting things where you can practically see the actions of an enemy a split second before they perform it during a battle, Endric has something similar as a time Candidate. The difference is, he can perceive things before they happen not just in battle but overall in any event or scenario,") The system explained.
