Chapter 1497 Jack Vs Angy
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
----------
Pulling himself out of the golden body state, Gustav found himself back on Agon, panting from the exertion.
He realized he had been in the state for over thirty minutes. It was a new record. Before he could gather his thoughts, Miss Aimee's projection appeared before him.
"Congratulations, Gustav," she said with a proud smile. "You've reached the goal. It's time for you to use the Warp Demolator."
"Not yet," Gustav replied urgently. "My friends are in trouble. I gotta go."
Miss Aimee's expression turned serious. "I understand. But remember, you have a limited time."
"I know," Gustav said while turning around to leave. "I'm headed to Earth. I'll use the Warp demolator once I get back."
Miss Aimee nodded. "Very well. Be careful, kiddo."
Gustav nodded with an expression of determination before heading to pack up some essentials.

Stark wanted to come along, but Gustav shook his head. "I need to conserve as much energy in my dimensional bracelet as possible. I'll be going alone."
Stark frowned but nodded in understanding. "Be careful."
Gustav didn't waste any time. He input Earth's coordinates into the dimensional bracelet, and it began counting down.
< ...2 >
< ...1 >
With a flash of blue light, Gustav vanished from sight.
Gustav reappeared atop a mountainous region in Plankton City. The cool wind ruffled his hair as he looked around, taking in the familiar landscape.
Without hesitation, he shapeshifted into a different look—a tall man with short brown hair and a plain face.
He had also learnt to also suppress his bloodline energy because with the aura he originally gave off, the entire city would feel that an alpha ranked Mixedblood was around.
Satisfied that he wouldn't draw attention, he leapt into the air.
[ Flight Has Been Activated ]
He sped across the sky as a blur against the horizon. In an instant, he arrived atop E.E's apartment building.
Bam!
He immediately manipulated his body atoms, turning into milky light particles as he phased through the roof and down a few floors, arriving directly inside E.E's apartment.
The place was eerily silent. Gustav's eyes darted around the room, taking in the familiar surroundings.
"They already left..."
Realizing the apartment was empty, Gustav decided to properly spread his perception.
He closed his eyes to focus on their specific features, feeling the energy signatures around him. He could sense multiple spacecraft leaving Earth's orbit but his perception soon wrapped around a particular one.
Bang!
Angy was sending flying across the air but Jack didn't let her get too far before he performed another action.
Eight star shaped patterns appeared around Angy's figure, instantly boxing her in.
Her entire frame was soon struggling to fit into the box of this space as it began to compress.
"This feels awfully familiar..." Jack mumbled.
"Oh yes. We've done this before but not in this timeline, right?" He added with a look of understanding.
Within the box Angy's face displayed an expression of struggle as the materialised blade fell out of her grasp and her body contorted while the space continuously shrunk.
"Well, I hate to break it to you but regardless of the timeline, I already gained experience from our previous battle so don't blame me for using that to my advantage. This time I will properly discard of you," Jack stated with a tone of assurance.
Gustav arrived at this moment on scene with a disoriented expression.
He wanted to move in but instantly stopped himself.
'What do I do? Do I help her? But my vision... If I interfere right now, will it spell the end for Jack?' Gustav found himself lost on what action to take.
("Don't interfere. Just look away if you can't handle it,") The system's voice chipped in.
The sight of Angy getting boxed in to the point where her bones began to creak and twist, truly wasn't something Gustav could bear to see.
"How can you ask me to look away...I can't let it end this way," Gustav wanted to interfere at this moment but the System spoke again.
("You are one that likes to use logic over emotions right? Do you think Angy will be able to kill anyone or you for that matter if Jack takes care of her now?")
'So you expect me to just sit back and do nothing?'
("For the sake of everyone, Jack and yourself, yes.")
Gustav squeezed his fist so tight in frustration that blood began to drip from his hand.
Krryyccchhh~
Angy figure mangled even more as the box grew smaller and at this point, there was not even a single bit of space within Jack's construct.
Gustav turned to watch as his heart pounded in his chest. He recounted all the memories shared with Angy from the day they met to how she began to grow on him.
He recalled their last encounter before she was taken while watching blood seep from his skin.
His heart ached... He had never felt this way before.
"I can't do it!" Gustav voiced before vanishing.
Fwwhwisshh~
He reappeared before Jack and held his outstretched hand.
"You don't have to kill her," Gustav stated as his fist clumped tightly onto Jack's arm.
"Huh? Who are you?" Jack questioned with a look of astonishment.
"It doesn't matter. Why not just capture her instead of killing her. She doesn't necessarily need to die, right?" Gustav tried to reason with Jack causing him to momentarily pause his actions.
"What do you mean by she? That thing is an abomination that I will not allow exist on this earth for even a second longer if I could help it. I am not risking the safety of this planet on the hope that this thing will stay captured. It is even more powerful than I remember," Jack waved Gustav off with a gentle yet firm shove.
