The Bloodline System



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

At this instant, Captain Strum suddenly charged at Gustav, his speed multiplying by ten times its original. 

Fwwhiiihhh~

"This is the end for you!" He voiced as he raised all six of his arms the moment he arrived before Gustav.

Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!

His palms emitted blueish glows as he thrust at Gustav who tried to move swiftly. 

However, mirages of Gustav appeared across the air in the next moment, lining up sideways as they displayed his exacts movements before he even made them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following Gustav's current pattern prediction, Captain Strum thrust his palms in the direction Gustav was evading to hitting him square on.

Before Gustav's body got blasted back, mirages had already appeared behind him, displaying the distance at which his body would travel after this hit.

It seemed like time had come to a stand still at this moment as Captain Strum's figure vanished and appeared where Gustav would be before thrusting repeatedly once more.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gustav's spat out blood as his figure got blasted forward again with immense force from Captain Strum's multiple attacks.

All Gustav could see at this moment was that Captain Strum was everywhere at the same time. He would get hit before he could even process the attack that came before.

If his body was blasted from behind, he would be hit the moment he veered forward a bit from up ahead, only for him to be hit again by another Captain Strum before he could realise what was going on.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

While Gustav was repeatedly taking these attacks due to being unable to avoid them, his silver scales were disappearing. Any part of his body where Captain Strum made contact with, some of features of that body part would vanish.

'Hnghh... he turned the battle ring into a time domain... This is beyond foresight he can predict my movements... practically seeing into the future... Time is slowed down for me but quick for him so it's like he pauses time after every movement which makes it seem like he is everywhere...' Gustav analysed as he repeatedly waved arms around to block attacks, all to no avail.

Despite Gustav's speed in the state of Ultimate Combination, he was literally in a stand still motion before Captain Strum.

Captain Strum was bending time to his will around the entire vicinity, leaving Gustav no chance to evade or counter his attacks.

Soon the blue glow that encapsulated the battle stage began to spread beyond.

Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!

The arena turned noiser as panic spread across. No one was interested in getting affected by Captain Strum's time related power especially after seeing how Gustav was affected.

"Redirect the spread of the energy right now," Handler One swiftly gave command to a group of Handlers who quickly swooped forward to take care of the situation. 

'Everytime a battle includes Earth's captain, extra precautions need to be taken,' Handler One had a worrisome look as he peered forward.

The current predicament seemed perilous for Gustav but he was working on a way to get out of it despite having sustained lots of damage. 

Thrrriiihhh~

His entire frame got covered in layers of Iro silk as he also made use of Atomic Manipulation. 

The iro silk soon became covered in milky colored energy as well.

"Pointless! My power of time reverses all!" Captain Strum's voice rang loudly in Gustav's ears as he began furiously attacking the barrier Gustav had surrounded him with.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The repeated sound of collision rang out and from the spectators area, it looked like a rocky structure was zipping across the battle stage at fast pace due to Captain Strum's furious barrages.

For now, Gustav was free from taking damage from Captain Strum's attack, however, anyone could tell that this wouldn't last. 

The strong power of Atomic Disintegration was no match for time as it slowly vanished with every strike along with the iro silk barrier.

'Time is a power that cannot be battled against... even the strongest beings in this universe cannot battle certain aspects of time... I need to make time dysfunctional to escape this...' Gustav's mind was running at a very quick pace.

Millions of thoughts appeared in his mind as the barrier whitled away

'If I use that... it won't have much effect unless I stack them and he doesn't see it coming... but he sees everything coming...' Gustav was having a hard time figuring out what to do but soon he decided on something.

Captain Strum zipped backwards suddenly as mirages of red ripples spread across the place.

In the next instant, the real ripples of crimson energy blasted forth across the entire vicinity. 

Captain Strum had gotten away in time to avoid the blast due to his prediction ability in full swing.

However, the moment the blast whittled down, Captain Strum felt an unfathomable pull from up ahead.

His eyes widened slightly as a sphere shaped ball of energy oozing with dark matter appeared before him.

What the..." He tried to escape but the pull was too great and he found himself unable to move for a couple of moments.

Thirrrhhh~

A mirrage of a human figure appeared behind him bearing a fist while he was trying to escape the unprecedented pull from the dark sphere ahead which was had a ring swirling around it.

"Absolute...." Before Captain Strum could complete his sentence Gustav's bloody figure appeared behind him.

His arm which was arched back, shot forward with extreme speed, parting the air in the surroundings and causing powerful waves to spread sideways in its wake

Bang!

it was like all of Gustav's pent up frustration was stacked into this punch as it crashed into Captain Strum's back, sending him blasting forward with destructive ripppes shooting across the battle stage.

Krraanckkk!

The first layer of barrier surrounding the stage shattered as Captain Strum's back caved in while he spat out a mouthful of white blood.

The spherical shaped dark sphere ahead pulled Captain Strum to its surface, causing his entire figure to twitch in slow motion as it seemed like he had been incapacitated. 

Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ 

Gustav raised both his arms causing small swirling balls of darkness to appear around him. These balls were each the size or a fist but they emitted a powerful suction force.

Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~

Blue Shperical shaped balls of energy that were ten times the size of the dark balls appeared in place as well and proceeded to absorb the dark balls.

The blue spherical shaped balls turned blackish after absorbing the palm sized swirling dark balls of energy. However, this wasn't the end as Gustav made more of the dark balls appeared. 

Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~

The three large spheres that were initially blue turned even darker as they absorbed more of these balls.

The suction force became so great that everything within the battle stage started getting pulled towards them.

Gustav clasped his palms together and the spherical shaped dark balls of energy swept forward, each positioning themselves on the south, east and western sides of Captain Strum who seemed to be struggling to set himself free.

The suction force from all four of these spherical balls, pulled Captain Strum from every corner, threatening to rip him to shreds.

Every physical object in the vicinity was crumbling to atoms and being swallowed by the four spherical dark balls of energy.

The icicles...

The massive ice rocks...

The massive ice palaces...

The place sized chains holding them...

The battle stage...

The layers of barriers...

The spectators watched in awe as everything was getting comsumed very quickly, light included. 

Ghhrrrhhhh! Ghhrrrhhhh~

The entire arena that spanned for hundreds of thousands of feet began quaking despite the fact that not every layer of barrier had been destroyed.

What Gustav had done was, activate a mini blackhole after using energy dispersal as a feint to get Captain Strum to evade.

While Captain Strum was powerful and could twist the laws of time, he wouldn't take such an attack head on especially when it covered such a range.

That split moment was enough for Gustav to activate mini black hole and conjured as many as he could within a second time frame before letting one of his spherical energy absorbers consume it.

Theoretically the Spherical energy that Gustav used for absorbing the mini black holes should have been consumed but because Gustav was currently making use of combination, he was able to combine them efficiently. 

With the spheres absorbing multiple mini blackholes, they began even powerful blackholes which he used against Captain Strum. Strum couldn't see this despite his prediction ability since Gustav was capable of making his spheres invisible. 

He only noticed it after the suction force had began pulling him to comsume his entire existence. 

Gustav knew that blackholes had effect on time. Despite not being able to stop time completely, the time dilation effects of a blackhole was what he counted on to at least trap Captain Strum for a few.
