Chapter 1268 A State Of Immobility

1268  A State Of Immobility Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

Without a doubt, these planets were automatically disqualified while the battle challenge went on.

Gustav had only fought a single battle today since no one challenged him. After he won the battle, he took note of the fact that he had acquired enough points to challenge a certain opponent without having to worry about them declining.

"Tomorrow is the day," Gustav muttered underneath his breath as the image of a partic.i.p.ant with multiple limbs appeared in his mind.

At the end of the day, Handler One addressed the entire arena again.

"There will be disqualifications tomorrow..." He began speaking.

An air of tension spread across the spectators area the moment Handler One revealed this. It wasn't like the partic.i.p.ants hadn't been expecting there to be another disqualification period approaching. Nonetheless, a lot of them were troubled since they had no idea what the required number of points would be.

"The points required to maintain partic.i.p.ation will be announced tomorrow by the end of the day," Handler One revealed.

"I implore partic.i.p.ants to do their best and gather as much points as they can before the end of the day tomorrow," Handler One advised with an encouraging tone.

He proceeded to mention a few more things before finally dismissing the partic.i.p.ants.

Everyone began heading back to their various accommodation areas once more as the people within the ma.s.sive arena soon thinned out.

While the others headed back Gustav excused himself once more and moved to a particular area outside of the arena.

Zing~

A b.u.t.ton shaped device appeared in his grasp and he proceeded to plant it on his forehead.

[Cognitive Concealment Has Been Activated]

His presence vanished in the next moment. No one was able to spot him unless they stared directly at him despite his visibility.

Gustav tapped the b.u.t.ton on his forehead and disappeared completely.

In the next moment, a large group consisting of dark figures wrapped up in bandage like outfits from head to toe, could be seen veering past.

Dark circular clouds were beneath their feet, which was levitating. These dark circular clouds, drove them forward and Gustav proceeded to follow in his invisible state.

 This group numbered in the hundreds yet they didn't seem to be engaging in any conversations with each other as they flew past on these dark clouds.

[Hover Has Been Activated]

Gustav eventually activated Hover to keep up with them as they flew further away.

They soon arrived in an area with traingular golden structures stacked atop each other, reaching seven hundred feet in height.

The figures floating on the clouds of darkness began to descend as they arrived in this vicinity and head in. This was one of the accommodation area for spectators and they seem to have this entire building to themselves.

Gustav went through the entry point with them and there happened to be a few Ozis moving around but no dialogue ensued between any of the Ozis and the dark figures.

He followed a bunch to an area with rectangular gla.s.s barricades and got still without their knowledge of his presence.

Thiiiinnn~

A burst of light from below, caused their figures to turn into streaks of dark lines that appeared hundreds of feet above. They immediately found themselves on one of the floors of this accommodation area.

After arriving at this pa.s.sageway, they began to seperate, heading to different doorsteps positioned in multiple places here.

Some headed in twos and some were alone.

Gustav picked a random figure to follow and headed in with them. This of course was a room and the figure he followed, moved to a spot and took a seat.

Gustav looked around the area to see if he could find anything of substance but it looked like a regular room to him.

'Hmm the Indulus Prime spectators area is much different from that of the partic.i.p.ants,' Gustav thought as he moved to a corner of the room.

The Indulus Prime partic.i.p.ants area would be filled with darkness by this time which was something Gustav would have expected, yet nothing of such happened. The spectators accommodation area just seemed regular like nothing was going on.

The invisibility b.u.t.ton on Gustav's forehead was already a few seconds to running out of power.

His skin began to morph along with his outfit as he took the exact look of the golden plated walls. He backed into the wall and grabbed a new invisibility b.u.t.ton from his storage device.

The moment the invisibility b.u.t.ton ran out of power, it looked like Gustav was a part of the wall. His hair, face, skin and every part of his body had taken the exact look and texture of the wall.

He had hidden in a pa.s.sageway area within the room so he was currently out of sight for the Indulus Prime species here, nontheless, he didn't want to take any chances and shape-s.h.i.+fted this way.

Gustav swiftly placed a new invisibility b.u.t.ton on his forehead and tapped it. His figure vanished once more and he moved back to the main room area.

The Indulus Prime spectator he followed happened to still be seated in place. From the looks of things, he had not moved a single inch which had Gustav a little suspicious.

Gustav proceeded to look around the place more and activated G.o.d Eyes to be sure he didn't miss anything.

'Hmm? Is this normal?' Gustav suspiciousness increased as his sight phased through the walls around him.

("They're... immobile,") The system voiced internally.

'I thought it was just him but every single Indulus Prime spectator on this floor is in the same state,' Gustav said as he looked around.

Other Indulus Prime spectators like the one he had followed, all sat in their rooms not moving a muscle or an inch. They were just stationary.

("Check other floors,") The system suggested.

Gustav proceeded to set his sights downwards and G.o.d Eyes phased through the walls beneath only for him to be met with the same view.

Every single Indulus Prime spectator was in a sitting position. They didn't move, they didn't try to take off their outfit or engage in any indoor activities. They remained stationary after taking a seat.

'Is this normal? Is it a species thing?' Gustav questioned internally.

("Absolutely not... the Indulus Prime species are creatures of darkness yes but that doesn't mean they lack basic desires and ability to interact with one another like other beings. This isn't normal at all,") The system answered immediately.

'It almost seems like they're in a kind of trance state,' Gustav deactivated G.o.d Eyes and moved closer to the Indulus Prime spectator before him.

Gustav squatted and stared directly at the dark eyes of the being before him. It was difficult to a.n.a.lyse anything from a pair of eyes that seemed to hold infinite darkness within but Gustav could tell that something was off, especially due to their current state.

Gustav slowly stretched his hand forward as the eeriness in the environment grew by the moment.

His hand was a few inches from making contact when the system stopped him.

("I don't think making contact with any of them would be a good idea,")

Gustav paused his hand movement at this point and stood to his feet.

'It's almost like they were programmed to all be this way... like computers... tasks... programs... go into stationary mode after the completion of a task unless given a new one...' Gustav slowly backed away as theories appeared in his mind.

His perception was still spread across the entire building so even without G.o.d Eyes he could tell that none of them had taken a single step away from their seating position.

'Someone is responsible for this for sure but the question remains who? Indulus Prime sure has other motives for joining IYSOP but I can't even find who pulls the strings amongst the spectators who are supposed to be authorities on their planet...' At this point, things were getting even more confusing.

("This isn't the only location that the Indulus Prime spectators occupy,") The system voiced.

'Hmm? Did they seperate earlier?' Gustav questioned.

("Not really, the others stayed within the arena for reasons unknown,") The system answered.

...

11:04

...

'Hmm... I'll observe these ones for some time, if there are no changes, I'll head to the arena,' Gustav decided.

The environment was eerily silent as the being of darkness before Gustav remained seated in place while Gustav continued staying out of sight while inspecting the vicinity.

...

...

...

-"Will you finally accept?"

"What happens if I do?"

-"You will become like me son... you will become #%&&##%^;#^"

Static~ Static~ Static~

"I don't want to become #%&&##%^;#^"

-"You will have all the power in the world. You will be next in line for the throne,"

"I don't want your throne,"

-"You don't have a choice,"

"What if I keep refusing,"

-"You will lose your loved ones,"

"Don't you dare harm them,"

-"Son, I couldn't even harm them even if i wanted to,"

"Then..."

-"No, I won't be the one harming them..."

Sshhshhhhh~

Author's Note:

This month began terribly and has been going terribly since. WN has been slas.h.i.+ng the stats of The Bloodline System and books that haven't updated in ages with lesser engagements are appearing higher on the trending rankings. This has never happened even when I was inconsistent with updates.

I have made complaints but ReadNovelFull is yet to do anything to remedy the current situation which has been extremely demotivating but I shall continue to update because of you guys.

Also we're very close to the scene at the start of the novel. Thank you all for reading. ????????.???
