The Bloodline System

Chapter 1150: Count Me In

Authorʼs Note: Unedited Chapter

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

-(The Sticky Void)

Grand commander Shionʼs original speed had been interfered with due to the laws of the sticky void.

The unknown assailants were aware that someone as powerful as Grand Commander Shion would be able to break out of the void due to his strength but the hinderance from the void had delayed him quite a bit.

This was why they had acted very quickly in removing him from the equation as they had not expected someone this powerful to be on the ship.

They were well aware of the powerlevel of the IYSOP candidates being unable to contend against the laws of the sticky void so the plan looked solid without Grand Commander Shionʼs existence.

”Phew...” The captain of the assailants let out a sigh of relief after Grand Commander Shionʼs disappearance.

”Donʼt expect to be saved... we sent him very very far from here!” He stated with a strong tone afterwards.

”Now send Gustav Crimson out if you all wish to survive,” He added.

Within the spacecraft the candidates all stared at each other with conflicted looks as they struggled to come up with an answer to this unexpected predicament.

-”Where is Gustav?”

-”I havenʼt seen him since,”

-”I think i saw him heading for the control room,”

-”We canʼt believe this maniacs! They are definitely lying,”

Gustav who was stationed in the control room all this time finally stepped out.

Thissshhhh~

A metallic shutter like door slid open up ahead and they watched as an irrefutably domineering presence walked towards them.

”Iʼll go,” Gustav voiced out amidst the chatters and stares.

”Uh?”

”We dont even know what they want with you?”

”It definitely isnʼt anything good,”

Matilda, Angy and Aildris voiced out simultaneously.

”Send Gustav out now if you want to survive,” The voice of the captain rang out once more.

”Let us try to communicate with them first to finf out why they want him,” Falco suggested.

Aildris tapped on some controls attached to the spacesuit which had a space transmission function.

Although everything on the spacecraft had stopped working, the spacesuit still functioned well. The only bad part was they couldnʼt use the spacesuit to communicate with others at very long distances.

”Incoming transmission link,” Rick stated from within the other spacecraft.

”Hmm from the kids? Okay accept it,” The captain responded from above.

Thirrihhzz~

A small static sound rang out before a masculine voice was heard.

-”Why do you lots want Gustav Crimson?”

”Who do you think we are and what do you think we do?” The captain questioned in response.

”That is for you to reveal and for me to listen,” Aildris replied with a calm tone.

”Youʼve got spunk kid... we are Intergalactic bounty hunters. Weʼve got a contract for the Gustav Crimsonʼs head,” The captain replied while his dark tentacles kept waving.

”So you have plans of killing him?” Aildris inquired.

”Yes... that is what having a contract for his head means,” The captain replied with a weird tone.

”Unfortunately, we will have to refuse,” Aildris replied.

”You kids donʼt have a choice. Either you give him to us or you die here along with him,” The captain stated.

”You kids are lucky Rick doesnʼt want any collateral damage which is why we are willing to save the rest of you. Should you kids decide to hand Gustav over, you get to live,” He added.

”Hmm I am guessing we all perish in this place if we fail to find our way out?” Aildris questioned in a knowing manner.

”Yes. The sticky void keeps you within and then shrink everything within to a molecular level till eventually you all vanish so even if we chose not to do anything, Gustav Crimson will still perish here. We are just being generous right now,” The captain revealed.

Gasp~

Within the IYSOP spacecraft, the candidate gasped in terror upon the revelation of how dangerous the sticky void was.

ʼJust as I thought,ʼ Gustav said internally as he slightly raised his left hand.

Afterimages appeared with every movement which was another insight Gustav took notice of upon their arrival here.

He could already sense the difference and how their internal anatomy as well as the anatomy of everything within this part of space was slowly changing.

Movement was immensely difficult because it felt like you had to travel longer to get to whwre you wanted to be and Gustav sense it would be even worse outside the spacecraft.

”If you kids want to get out of here, I suggest you hand over Gustav Crimson,” The captain stated once more.

The spacecraft was currently unoperational since the pilots and navigatorshad tried their best in starting it but nothing worked.

if they had not knocked out the engines and energy systems of the spacecraft, the pilots would have been able to activate a jump that would get them out of the sticky void.

ʼLooks like they calculated properly before they made their move,ʼ Gustav could see that the intergalactic bounty hunters actions were almost flawless to this point.

”Why are you lots unaffected?” Aildris asked through the comms.

”So long as we are inside this bubble, the laws of the sticky void will not apply to us. We are truly your only ticket out of here,” The captain replied.

”So... as long as we can get into that bubble weʼre safe?” Aildris inquired.

”Yes,” The captain responded.

”Alright then, weʼll just switch spacecraft,” Aildris stated.

”What do you mean by that?” The captain questioned with a confused tone.

”It means weʼre not giving Gustav up you punk ass bitch,” E.Eʼs loud voice suddenly rang out through the comms.

”Who is that vulgar creature?” The captain sounded irritated as he spoke.

”Go ask your granny motherfuc*er cos we bout to send you on a one way ticket to the afterlife,” E.E replied with a loud laughter which caused everyone in the vicinity to also began laughing.

The tensed atmosphere turned lighter upon E.Eʼs remark causing everyone to relax a bit as they looked into the situation.

”I donʼt know about you guys but I really wanna whoop these bounty hunters asses,” E.E stated.

”Theyʼre getting on my nerves too calling us kids,” Fildhor voiced from the side with a annoyed look.

”Iʼm in for the ass whooping,” Teemee announced.

”This sounds fun, count me in,” Sheila giggled while voicing out.

”Count me in too,” Angy yelled out.

”Me too,”

”Me too,”

”Me too,”

This created a domino effect in which everyone except for Gustav agreed to deal with the Intergalactic bounty hunters.

”Iʼm in too,” Gustav finally voiced out with a smile on his face.

”No no no, youʼre sitting this one out Gus,” E.E voiced while holding Gustavʼs shoulder and leading him to the seat behind.

”What?” Gustav exclaimed.

”Just sit back and watch us decimate them,” E.E stated.

”Donʼt ruin the fun, just stay here,” Teemee added.

”Yes, they have to get through us first if they wish to get to you,” Angy voiced out.

”That sounded cliché but i agree with her, just remain here,” Falco stated as well while a dark star began to appear on his forehead.

”Weʼll be back soon Gustav,” Aildris voiced while turning around.

”Letʼs go guys,” He added while walking ahead.

The group followed after him and they headed to a part of the spacecraft with a manual exit. They stood on the manual exit pad and soon arrived at the top of the spacecraft.

In a bit all fifty of the Earthʼs IYSOP candidates stood atop the spacecraft with their enemies in the opposite direction.

”Do you all want to die!?” The captain questioned with a slightly annoyed tone.

”We wonʼt have to so long as we take what is yours,” Aildris replied through the comms.

”You canʼt even get to us,” The captain replied.

”Donʼt be so sure,” Aildris voiced while turning to stare at E.E.

E.E nodded and placed his two index fingers together along with his thumbs.

”I can sense dimensional energy from that kid but I assure you, nothing of the sorts will work in the sticky void! You are wasti...” Before the captain could complete his statement E.E suddenly emitted an outburst of energy.

Fwwhwoooouuhhhhnnn~

Violet streams of energy blasted out from his figure as his entire figure glowed immensely.

”When it isnʼt possible to open a spatial channel... I will become the spatial channel,” E.E voiced chimed like a deity.

”Hyaaahhhh!”

Battle cries rang out as everyone ran into E.E and found themselves within the bounty hunters spacecraft in the next instant.

”What!? How? How is this possible!?” The captain yelled out as the candidates began to appear within the bubble one after the other till E.E himself disintegrated into nothingness.

”Hey man,”

A familiar voice was heard behind him as he felt someone tapping onto his shoulder from behind.

”Huh?” The instant he turned around a punch was already headed for his face.

Bang!
