Chapter 1314 IYSOP Final Challenge Begins

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

"Lu Banû aoko vori which translates to '...The Lord is sending...'" Grand Commander Shion said with a contemplative tone.

"The Lord is sending? Sending what?" Miss Aimee questioned with an intrigued tone.

"They are yet to uncover the full translation," Grand Commander Shion replied.

"Hmm... how long is it going to take?" Miss Aimee asked.

"Since we now have our men on it, maybe a day or two," Grand Commander Shion voiced with a tone of reassurance.

"On the bright side, your warning about the eye appearance becoming a universal issue is now more believable to them so the whole alliance will most definitely agree to pool resources for proper investigation," Grand Commander Shion added.

"They'd better," Miss Aimee said while her eyebrows furrowed. 

...

On the massive floating battlefield, almost all fifty planet participants had arrived. They stood in different areas and waited for the final challenge to begin. 

Some captains addressed the rest of their teammates while some just engaged in conversations with one another.

They were all practically teammates in the last challenge since they were under one color. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be working together this time. Every planet for themselves. 

Planet Ozious, Klaxosapes and many other great planets had lost in the last challenge so the final battle only had a few top twenty in it.

Planet Ozious who had won the last IYSOP really got disqualified before the quarter finals. A lot of spectators still found it unbelievable because in terms of power they were ranked amongst the highest across many galaxies.

However, it made sense to everyone since Earth who had always been around third place every IYSOP made a comeback this time. Now everyone was hinging on the Draconets or Earth winning.

The two planets were considered the strongest in the finals. Other planets had a chance if they were to gang up on both of them the moment the challenge began.

Soon all planetary groups arrived and Handler One went on to address the participants and spectators from the spectators area.

"The final challenge has arrived. This will determine the champions of IYSOP and the owner of the Zilk star for the next five hundred years," Handler One voiced with an intriguing tone.

"This will be a battle between all fifty planets. The battlefield crumbles to an extent every one hour, becoming smaller. Falling off the battlefield equals automatic disqualification. Should a participant get disqualified and wants to be brought back into the fight, their planet would need to use ten thousand points. Should all participants from a planet get disqualified, it automatically means disqualification for the whole planet..." Handler One kept giving details about the final challenge. 

If a participant was knocked out but not knocked off the battlefield, they would remain in the challenge till either they regained consciousness or get thrown off. 

Unlike the Monolith Challenge, this time the participants were given space helmets with breathable air. Those who could breath in space didn't need this but Gustav and the others did.

Handler One mentioned that the winner would be concluded when all other planets had been blasted off and one planet was left. He clarified once more that even if only a single participant from a planet was left, they would still be a part of the challenge and could win.

After all of the necessary clarifications, Handler One finally stated...

"The Final Challenge Can Now Commence!" 

The intensity on the battlefield instantly multiplied as participants began moving from their various spots.

The floating battlefield was as large as an island and all fifty of them appeared in different places when they were brought here by their respective handlers.

For most of them to come into contact with one another they would still have to move further but some happened to be very close to each other and before long, battle sounds began ringing across the place.

Gustav and the others who were close to a large four hundred feet rock began moving.

"You know what to do," Gustav said to the others as he moved towards a gigantic rock up ahead.

Zing~

They all nodded while a button shaped device appeared in his hands which he plastered onto his forehead.

Gustav vanished in the next moment and proceeded to speed forward. 

Swwooovvvv~

He had told the others that they had to do their best not to get ganged up on by other planets and moving together wouldn't help their situation. With this in mind, the group decided to split into twos and move in a way that would encircle the battlefield and then meet up in the middle later on.

Gustav looked like he was moving alone since he went invisible but in actuality he wasn't. His objective right now was to scour the battlefield without getting noticed so he could take note of where all of the planets were currently located. 

This way they could gang up on two or more planets who were already duking it out. Gustav didn't care if this tactic was seen as cowardly or dirty, the aim was to win and that couldn't happen if other planets were still on the battlefield. 

Gustav soon approached a battle area between two planet groups.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!

The sound of explosions rippled loudly across the place as they engaged each other.

"Planet Roskah and Atorx..." He muttered while squatting on the roof of a one storey rhombus structured building.

The silver star in the distance illuminated this part of space bit Gustav's figure was currently invisible so no one had any idea he was lurking. 

Planet Roskah were whistish beings with massive ash colored bumps all over their bodies. They would grab the ash colored bumps and rip it off their skins before flinging it in the direction of their enemies. 

Sometimes loud blasts would ring out but sometimes these bumps would transform into something else entirely... Something monstrous...

Plamet Atorx on the other hand had spear shaped heads and holes all of their bodies. They could walk on air and transform their bodies into weapons. The two groups directly attacked each other without anyone having the upper hand for many minutes. 

Gustav moved to the back of the building after some time to change the invisibility button on his forehead.

Boom!

A massive five hundred feet sword came crashing through the building in the next instant along with an oddly shaped beast.

The beast blasted into smithereeens after getting pierced through by the massive sword, causing blood and body goo to scatter across the place.

Fwhooosshh~

Gustav was nearly noticed but be manage to flee towards another hiding spot nearly and turned invisible once more. Cognitive Concealment was also currently activated so they couldn't sense his presence there.

Soon enough, a couple of them were blasted off the floating space battlefield.

Gustav watched until six were left from the side of Planet Atorx while two were left from Planet Roskah side.

This scenario here was precisely what Gustav was trying to avoid when he made the group split up. From the looks of things, Planet Atorx had won this but at what cost? Only six of their participants were left and the finals only just begun. 

There were still many planets left and now their numbers had dwindled. If they were to face another planet with complete members, it would be the end for them.

Krruccckkk~ Krrruccckkk~

The grounds began trembling immensely causing the eight left to pause.

They turned around and noticed the ground behind them crumbling into space. It continously crumbled and was catching up to their current position. 

They all turned around to instantly flee but the moment they moved a step forward...

Sweeeeehhhhhhh~

They spotted a massive reddish arc with lightning snakes swimming across it, sweeping towards them with intensity. 

"What the..."

"Aahhhh!"

All eight of them were immediately swept off the space battlefield by this reddish arc while the crumbling continued for a few more seconds.

"Two disqualified... forty eight to go," Gustav muttered.

("Did you count the others?") The system questioned.

"...Three disqualified... forty seven to go," Gustav said after sweeping his perception across the entire battlefield.

Some planet groups who were a little close to the center were not affected by the crumbling so battle between them was unhindered.

Gustav placed another button on his forehead and vanished once more. It was time to head forward. 

...

In another part of the battlefield, a silver sped across the vicinity, evading multiple explosive attacks aimed at them.

The silver streak was fast enough to escape the area and dissapeared into the distabce in a bit.

A few minutes later...

"I can't believe they decided to form a group what the hell?" E.E voiced at the side of a mountain with a look of disbelief. 

"Not to mention that the Draconets are at the forefront of it," Angy voiced with a disturbed tone.

"How could the others even agree to team up with the Draconets just to eradicate us?" Matilda had a confusrd expression as she voiced out. "They're also just as dangerous as we are,"
