Chapter 1286 Host Vitality Is Increasing

Author's Note: Unedited Chapters

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

"In this challenge, the participants are tasked with reaching the top of the monolith or rather specifically their captains. There are two hundred slots available at the top of the monolith and to successfully pass this challenge, a Captain must make sure to acquire one of the two hundred slots. It goes without a saying that the fifty who fail to acquire a slot at the top of the monolith will be disqualified..." Handler One explained lengthily.

"Does this mean only the captains will be participating?" Teemee wondered out loud.

"I don't think that is the case, listen," Gustav responded.

"The captains are required to take a slot upon arrival at the top of the monolith because it will not be counted if a normal member of the team or a Vice Captain does so in their stead. Everyone in the team is required to do their best to get their captain to the top before the others.

There is no time limit. The challenge comes to an end when all slots have been taken," Handler One went on to say.

"This challenge will be over very quickly," Yonda shook his head.

Most people felt so too. It was practically just a climbing exercise or so they thought...

Trrrooiiinnn~

The screens went on to display a life footage of the monolith they were meant to scale.

"What the...?" Everyone displayed looks of bafflement as whatever camera that seemed to he recording this, slowly tilted to show how large it was.

The monolith was like a pillar with very smooth surface that extended so high, the footage couldn't display all of it from below.

The display of the footage was currently ascending along with the massive monolith. The bottom area seemed to cover a radius of more than four thousand feet but as it seemed to be get thinner the higher the footage covered.

In a bit the spectators could see that it had pierced through the conducive atmosphere of Planet Ozious and extended into outer space.

"Well damn, this must be why it is called the heaven monolith," Teemee voiced.

"But none of us is capable of breathing in outerspace without a space suit," Matilda stated with a baffled tone.

"They'll probably provide us with gear," E.E said.

"Outerspace gear will not be provided. Participants are expected to be resilient enough to deal with the arduous situation using their abilities alone," Handler One loud voice instantly dashed their hopes.

-"What the hell? How are we supposed to survive?"

-"Some planetary species can breath in space because of their geenes this is unfair to those of us who weren't born that way,"

-"This is totally unfair!"

A lot of participants began to yelled loud in protest.

Handler One paused for a bit before speaking, "There is no unfairness in this. It is simply a part of their ability if they were born that way. No changes shall be made in regards to this," The Handler stated without a shred of sympathy.

Some participants still kept chattering on and voicing out their dissatisfaction but Handler One continued regardless.

The width of the stairs could contain twenty people moving side by side and they happened to curve around the monolith like snakes wrapping around their prey.

At some areas on the monolith, the two stairways on the right and left, intersected.

"A golden monolith... never thought I'd see one in my lifetime," Matilda voiced with a tone of astonishment.

"Just imagine the price this would sell for on earth hehe," E.E said, nearly drooling from his mouth.

"We're here to climb not rob an entire structure dumbass," Teemee slapped E.E at the back of his head.

"Ouch just food for thoughts man," E.E winced lightly.

Gustav could feel the atmosphere of the first disk. It was truly unlike anything he had felt before and the others felt this as well.

They could feel their bloods pumping and circulating at a much higher rate... the pores of their skin taking in the magical air of the vicinity.

Gustav stared at the notifications at the corner of his sight.

("If things keep going this way you may unlock a new ability,") The system voiced.

'Hmm? Does the atmosphere really have that much effect on living creatures?' Gustav couldn't help but be astonished by this.

("Yes... but not just living creatures... even non living things are affected,")

The skies here were green and whitish. Constellations could be spotted in the distance but there wasn't much anyone could see from this part of the first disk.

Elevora placed her hand on the barrier that prevented them from going further. Every single participant currently waited while staring at the massive monolith

"I declare the start of the Heaven Monolith Challenge!" Handler One's voice suddenly rang out loudly.

The instant the barrier vanished everyone charged forward with intensity.

"Yaaaahhhhhh!"

"Let's gooooooo!!!"

They were like angry mobs as they made their way across the golden planted grounds to the monolith up front.

Since two different stairs were constructed on the right and left sides of the monolith respectively, the mob soon split as they arrived before it.

Gustav and the others immediately went right as they clustered together upon reaching the stairs.

Fwwhiii~

Gustav grabbed a green faced alien on the right and flung him away the moment they arrived on the first stair.
