"Universal Merge!"
The split second disk began to join back together as incredible telekinetic energy spread forth from Endric's frame.
Dark tendrils began to phase out of the poker faced Death Angel's split body but before it could restore itself...
"Not so fast," Endric stated before snapping his fingers.
Dhiinn~ Dhiiinn~
Two telekinetic prisons instantly materialised and trapped the seperated bodies parts within, preventing them from merging.
Endric's finger tips were coated in a silvery blue glow at this moment. When he noticed another Death Angel closing in on him, he thrusted his index and middle finger forward.
One part of the split body slammed into the death angel with a laughing expression, ripping straight through its belly like a spear.
Endric didn't stop there, he casually flicked both fingers downwards.
Fwwwehiiiii~
Both halves of the Death Angel

Angy moved to his front and placed his face on her chest while hugging his body completely to hers.
"It's not your fault... Don't blame yourself," She uttered words of comfort while rubbing his hair.
She could feel wetness on her chest but she didn't stop. She continously stroke his hair while also fighting tears that threatened to spill from her eyes.
Teemee was one of the most unproblematic people in their circle asides Aildris. The only times he got mad was when any of them got hurt or suffered any type of injustice.
It looked like he was never bothered by anything but everyone knew this was far from the case. Teemee didn't like to act like he cared yet he was one of the biggest softies amongst them, going as far to volunteer everytime someone was needed to keep an eye on Falco since he got injured.
Teemee always stood up for the others every situation where he had the chance and despite coming from a background of wealth he had never shown any form of pride.
Ria looked like he had taken the biggest hit amongst them all as he remained in a kneeling position before Teemee's corpse. They had known each other since when they were little and although Ria would mostly call Gustav his rival, Teemee was the person who emotionally held that position.
"Didn't we have a bet on who would be stronger when we reached the age of 22?" Ria's tears fell uncontrollably like raindrops.
"Why... what... why have you chosen to let me win?" Ria lips quivered as he muttered.
E.E placed his hand on Ria's left shoulder without saying a word. They had all taken a hit from this so they could only comfort each other.
'I couldn't even move to stop him,' E.E's other fist tightened in remorse as he stood in place briefly.
He realised how fear had kept him in place whereas Angy managed to overcome that and stopped Gustav before things got messier. A feeling of shame washed over him.
If his friend lost it due to any unexpected situation, it was his job to always be ready to offer assistance in whatever manner that was needed depending on the situation. He felt he had failed by not being able to overcome the fear of death and dread that encapsulated the vicinity from Gustav's wrath.
He had also sworned to be cool and collected even in the worst types of situation since it was the best way he could render assistance but he realised he had just failed.
E.E decided to stop berating himself in the meantime since this wasn't the place for self reflection. He raised his head and stepped forward in the direction of the Handlers.
"What is going to happen to him now? He just killed our teammate... How will you the Handlers punish him?" E.E questioned in successions with a calm tone.
"First we will investigate to discover if it the attack was done with the intent to kill or the death only happened accidentally," One of the Handlers answered.
E.E's face instantly squeezed up the moment he heard that.
"What do you guys mean by accidentally?" He spat.
"That Xionsi participant attacked with the intention to kill!" Matilda yelled from the side as she approached them.
"What she said!" Sheila voiced as well from the side.
"This hasn't been the first death since IYSOP began. I believe the earth is well aware that deaths occur in IYSOP. We only mete punishment when the death was orchestrated intentionally. In a case where it is accidental, the team is given a strike. Two strikes would of course lead to disqualification but in this case we have to investigate before drawing a conclusion," The Handler explained with an apologetic tone.
"You can't be serious!" Elevora stated with a strong tone.
"What is there to investigate!?" Fildhor chimed in.
"Hey baldy are you fucking blind? That bastard obviously did this intentionally!" Yonda also yelled as well.
Although he wasn't close to Teemee or Glade, they were still his fellow teammates and he was getting sick of how things were playing out.
"This participant had grievances with the two who lost their lives here today. We are well aware that this wasn't done accidentally," E.E said.
"Investigations will have to be carried out first. That is just how things are done. If Earth participants have statements concerning the issue, the can visit the board to table them after the Monolith Challenge ends," After saying this the Handlers began to vanish one after the other.
"What happens now?" E.E asked before the last one vanished.
"The rest Xionsis get to finish the challenge but this one comes with us,"
Zing~
After vanishing with Orimon, everyone had looks of anguish mixed their current mournful expressions.
"Those bastards!"
"How could they ask them to continue!?"
Almost everyone seemed to have gotten incensed by the Handlers approach of the situation.
"Those bastards didn't show up till after their deaths! How is any of this fair!?" Yonda stated loudly.
11:23
"Those bastards didn't show up till after their deaths! How is any of this fair!?" Yonda stated loudly.
Endric watched from the side with an expression of remorse and regret. He stretched out his hand in Gustav's direction but lowered it in the next instant.
"I'm sorry big brother... this is all my fault," He muttered underneath his breathe.
"I should have... ~sigh~ I could say I did the right thing by not intervening but that would just be a way of consoling myself. Its all my fault..." Endric stood in place with a sorrowful expression.
'Don't blame yourself... there was nothing you could have done,' Husarius voiced in his mind.
"You and I are both aware that's false... I could have prevented this... I saw it but still let it happen,"
'He would have lost way more if you intervened so this was the best course of action...'
"What if I could have prevented everything..."
'Don't be delusional...if you had prevented this and kept preventing the future calamities it wrought, calamities would continue to stack in the future till it reaches a point where you longer have the power to prevent them... when that happens, your brother would lose everything. Don't mess with the fates...' Husarius voiced with a cautioning tone.
Endric let out another sigh as he stared forward at Gustav who was still in Angy arms.
"Hasn't he suffered enough? I just want to take all his sorrows away..." Endric mumbled as a feeling of powerlessness welled up from within.
...
The Monolith Challenge was still ongoing at this time and the entire earth spectators area was in uproar. The earthlings were not interested in any excuse the Handlers had to give and demanded for the Xionsis to be immediately punished by disqualification.
The entire arena was extremely noisy at this point with loud arguments reverberated across it.
Miss Aimee was awfully calm compared to the others especially the high ranking MBO officers around.
"I thought you would rip the whole place to bits when Gustav lost his life earlier," Grand commander Shion was a little surprised even though Gustav came back from the dead.
"I knew he wasn't gone. Death is not powerful enough to take that kid away," Miss Aimee responded with an unbothered look.
"How did he manage come back to life?"
Grand Commander Shion and many others had this question in mind but since they were more concerned about making sure the Xionsis get punished, none of them dwelled on this confusion.
Only miss Aimee was aware that Gustav had the reincarnation bloodline all this time that one belonged to Yung Jo. Gustav had informed Miss Aimee that should he lose his life here in IYSOP she shouldn't interfere.
Miss Aimee had to promise him that she wouldn't because Gustav knew how impulsive she could be in a situation that concerned him.
She would still not allow any harm to befall Gustav so long as she was watching but since this was a competition and she didn't want to ruin it for him, she decided to stay put.
The Handlers had brought back the bodies of Glade and Teemee. Grand Commander Shion went to receive them with a few other officers so proper procedures would be put in place.
The entire earth was currently in a state of mourning after losing two young participants with great potential but IYSOP was still ongoing and they wanted still wished to win.
The uproar would not die down but they were hoping and praying the participants would still have it in them to climb to the top of the monolith and take a spot amongst the two hundred or all of this would have been for nothing.
Many spectators couldn't believe how earthings could be so emotional about losing two participants when some of them had lost more than two since IYSOP began.
They didn't understand that earthlings were very emotional beings.
Author's Note : Please vote for Gustav in the character popularity contest. Seven hours are left before the next preliminary
...
A lot of time had passed on the monolith and tons of groups had surpassed earth participants on the monolith.
Many of them used the left pathways to avoid bumping into earth participants who occupied a part of the pathways for longer than expected.
They had felt the dread earlier on that came from Gustav and decided it wouldn't be sensible to keep going right.
At this point it was starting to look like earth would fail to reach the peak before all two hundred spots were taken.
