The Bloodline System

Chapter 1557: Journey To Earth

Authorʼs Note: Unedited Chapter

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

Although Frambultin had left planet Humbad with his people, the entire Slarkov population didnʼt go with him.

Slarkovs under Kaldorʼs faction remained behind. Their aim was to try and save the planet despite the current situation.

They believed that after the Slarkovs that didnʼt agree with them had left, the barrier would stop splitting.

Unfortunately, it only took a couple of days before a state of unrest nestled amongst them. Some of them began to wonder if they had made the right decision by staying behind instead of leaving with Chief Frambultin the 88th and the others.

However they knew well that it was too late for regret. They couldnʼt change their decision anymore.

While the unrest was spreading, the warp demolator returned.

The warp demolator relentlessly attacked the golden barrier of Planet Humbad. The barrier, once a symbol of unity and hope, now flickered weakly under the relentless pressure.

They had thought that there would be united enough to prevent more cracks or they could manage to reopen dimension six but unfortunately it didnʼt seem to be going as planned.

In the playback, Gustav saw the scene unfold with chilling clarity. The warp soon demolator engulfed the planet, pulling it in. The surface of Humbad was torn apart by the torrent of energy, ripping structure to shreds.

The Slarkovs who had remained on the surface, desperately trying to force open Dimension Six, were caught in the maelstrom.

Their screams echoed through the void as they were ripped to pieces by the violent energy. The malevolent force showed no mercy, consuming everything in its path.

In one harrowing moment, Gustav watched as a group of Slarkovs tried to take shelter in an underground bunker. The bunker, once a place of safety, was no match for the sheer force of the warp demolator. The walls crumbled, and the Slarkovs inside were engulfed by the dark force.

”We must stay united,” one of them cried, their voice filled with desperation. ”We must hold on to hope!”

But their words were lost in the chaos as the matter swallowed them whole.

The playback showed the horror in excruciating detail, the once-thriving planet now a desolate wasteland consumed by darkness.

As Planet Humbad was pulled into the Stagnant Siterus void, it did not completely get destroyed. The warp demolator dragged it into a state of limbo, a void where it existed in a perpetual state of decay. The planet, now a ghost of its former self, floated aimlessly in the void.

”There is no way the Slarkovs could have survived on Humbad if they had chosen to stay,” Gustav muttered as the playback continued.

Fraumbultin the 88th who seemed to have been monitoring Humbadʼs state till it vanished, addressed his people from the lead ship.

His voice was filled with sorrow. ”My fellow Slarkovs, we have lost our home, but we have not lost our spirit. We carry the memory of Humbad within us, and we will honor our fallen by finding a new home and building a future filled with hope and unity.”

The playback showed scenes of the ships traveling through space, their path guided by the shimmering pathway created by the prototype device. The atmosphere on board was a mix of sorrow and determination as the Slarkovs looked to the stars for a new beginning.

As the days turned into weeks, the Slarkovs faced numerous challenges on their journey. The limited oxygen and supplies was on everyoneʼs minds, but their determination to reach Earth kept them going.

In one part of the ship, Dr. Kylen led a team in maintaining the life support systems. ”We need to ensure that every bit of air and water is recycled efficiently,” she explained to her team.

Despite the challenges, the spirit of unity and determination that had carried the Slarkovs through their journey continued to prevail.

Families supported one another, community leaders organized activities within the spacecraft to keep morale high, and everyone did their part to ensure the success of their mission.

In one dramatic moment, a malfunction in one of the oxygen generators caused a temporary drop in oxygen levels. The engineers worked frantically to repair the system, their faces etched with determination and fear.

”We need to stabilize the oxygen flow,” one of the engineers called out, their voice filled with urgency. ”If we donʼt, weʼll lose more air than we can afford.”

Fraumbultin watched the scene unfold, his heart pounding with anxiety. ”Hold on,” he thought. ”We must make it through this.”

After what felt like an eternity, the engineers managed to repair the generator, stabilizing the oxygen flow. The relief on their faces was visible, and Fraumbultin felt a surge of hope.

”We did it,” one of the engineers said, their voice filled with relief. ”The system is stable.”

Fraumbultin the 88th had a gratitude filled expression. ”Thank you. Your dedication and skill have saved us.”

As the journey continued, the Slarkovs faced other challenges, from navigating through asteroid fields to dealing with equipment malfunctions. But through it all, their determination and unity carried them forward.

In one scene, Gustav watched as the fleet approached a particularly dense asteroid field. The pilots worked together, their coordination and skill guiding the ships safely through the obstacles.

”Hold steady,” one of the pilots called out, their voice filled with concentration. ”We need to stay on course.”

The ships maneuvered through the asteroid field with precision as they avoided the massive rocks. Finally, they emerged on the other side, their path to Earth clear once more.

”We made it,” another pilot said, their voice filled with relief. ”Weʼre back on course.”

Fraumbultin addressed his people once more from the lead ship. ”My fellow Slarkovs, we have faced many challenges on our journey, but we remain strong. Our destination is in sight. We will soon reach Earth, and we will build a new future together.”

The days turned from weeks to months and then into years as the Slarkovs continued their journey with their hope unwavering. The playback showed scenes of daily life on board the ships, from families sharing meals to community leaders organizing activities to keep morale high.

In one touching scene, Gustav watched as a group of elders shared stories of their heritage and the journey they were on. ”We are the descendants of a proud and resilient people,” one of the elders said, her voice filled with pride. ”We have faced many challenges, but we have always found a way to rise above them.”

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the playback showed the fleet approaching Earth. The atmosphere on board was filled with excitement as the planet came into view.

”Weʼre almost there,” one of the engineers said, their voice filled with excitement. ”Earth is within our reach.”

Fraumbultin eyes were fixed on the blue and green planet that was now their view. ”Prepare for landing,” he ordered, his voice steady.

The ships descended towards Earth, their engines roaring as they entered the atmosphere.

Fraumbultin the 88th addressed his people, his voice filled with emotion. ”My fellow Slarkovs, we have faced unimaginable challenges and overcome them together. We have left our beloved planet behind, but we have found a new home. Let us connect peacefully with Earthlings and build a future here... one filled with hope, unity, and resilience...”

Gustav stood in the center of the playback construct as a sense of revelation washed over him.

The pieces of the puzzle had finally come together, and he understood the origins of the warp demolator, the Slarkovs, and the existence of the Mixedbloods.

The playback had shown him the tragic destruction of Planet Humbad and the incredible journey of the Slarkovs to Earth. Now, everything made sense.

”The warp demolator,” Gustav thought, ”was a pollution from the corpse of a deity. That explains its relentless nature.”

He recalled the scene where a deityʼs blood had created Dimension Six and how another deityʼs corpse pollution had nearly destroyed Humbad. ”The Slarkovs came to Earth because it used to be their neighbor. Itʼs where they would be able to survive especially after imbuing themselves with a piece of human D.N.A to bind themselves to actual reality again.

The planet at the center of the universe is also still Humbad but in a mirage state.”

Gustav felt that all of these revelations would confuse the average person but he understood all of it perfectly. However he knew well that there were still a couple more pieces that he needed to unveil.

Gustavʼs thoughts turned to the significance of the Slarkovsʼ arrival on Earth. ”The combination of Slarkovs and humans created the Mixedbloods. The supernatural abilities that Mixedbloods possess are a direct result of the D.N.A. they inherited from the Slarkovs. The abilities were locked by the first Fraumbultin after he gained access to Dimension Six.

When the Slarkovs mated with humans and bore offsprings, it must have unlocked the dormant D.N.A, resulting in the creation of the Mixedbloods.”

”Mixedbloods owe their existence to the Slarkovs.”

As he pondered these thoughts, the playback construct shifted, showing scenes of the early days of the Slarkovs on Earth.

The Slarkovs and humans worked together to build wondrous technological cities. The Slarkovs, with their advanced technology and knowledge, guided the humans, teaching them new skills and sharing their wisdom.

”So this is how it began...”
