Author’s Note: Unedited Chapter

Upon Gustav’s mention of this, Aildris face beamed up.

-“Ohhh now i see what you’re getting at,” Aildris stated.

-“The groups at the top will most likely become a target,” Endric voiced before Aildris could.

“Exactly. It’s best you all take your time so the scoreboards can put the targets on the others back while we get to move freely around for the next one week till another scoreboard screen gets displayed,” Gustav voiced lengthily.

-“Sounds like a great plan. If none of us have made use of any designated point to create a Viondur egg, we should appear at the bottom of the scoreboard. No rank, no target,” Aildris stated.

-“But what about the week after when a new scoreboard appears?” Teemee questioned.

“At the very least only a week will be left till the challenge ends… We’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” Gustav replied.

The group saw sense in Gustav’s plan but at the same time they wondered if anyone else had thought about it.

Gustav at this point already had all seven colors of eggs in his possession but chose not to place them in the machine slot yet because of his plan.

Another reason Gustav was eager to see the scoreboard was so he could make some calculations. Handler one had mentioned that there were a limited number of eggs that could form the Viondur Egg on the fourth disk.

Gustav wanted to confirm how many was left and make proper plans on how his group would acquire enough to be at the top of the scoreboard next time.

Now all he had to do was wait.

“Are you okay?”

Angy opened her eyes to see the concerned faces of some MBO members in medical outfits.

“Hmm?” She mumbled with a drowsy look as her vision slowly cleared.

Her eyes suddenly widened as she recalled something, “How long was I out?”

Angy suddenly sprang up from the bed as she inquired.

“Relax officer, your wellbeing is the priority right now,” A familiar voice resounded as a man in silver MBO outfit and a gem embedded in the middle of his forehead walked in.

“Grand commander Shion,” Angy muttered, “Did the Viondur Egg Challenge begin yet?”

“It began nearly a week ago. You’ve been out since,” Another familiar voice replied her instead of the Grand Commander.

“Miss Aimee,” Angy voiced with a respectful but disheartened expression.

“You don’t need to feel down. You did well and I’m sure they will as well. Just focus on recovery so you can join the main team in the next Challenge,” Miss Aimee replied as she approached the bed.

“*sigh* I’ve let them down by not being available…” Angy head lowered as she voiced out.

“They will survive,” Miss Aimee replied, “They’re not doing bad at the moment,”

“I want to watch,” Angy tried standing to her feet but suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

Miss Aimee caught her before she could fall and slowly let her down to the bed.

“Wait till you recover fully first,” She stated after letting Angy go.

“The power you used was no ordinary one… The toll it took on your body was quite severe,” One of the MBO officers in medical outfits announced.

Truly no one had ever seen such an ability used by a mixedblood, especially one at the Kilo rank. They were still at awe even though it had been seven days already.

‘Well it was to be expected since I wasn’t supposed to use it till I broke through to the Delta rank,’ Angy thought as she laid on the bed with a slightly tired expression.

“You would still be unconscious if not for Officer Crimson,” Another one of them mentioned.

“Hmm? How so?” Angy of course was happy to hear Gustav’s name but she was also curious as to what he did.

Tissssshhh~ Tissssshhh~ Tissssshhh~ Tissssshhh~

Screens began to appear in the sky all over the fourth disk.

Gustav stared at the one in the sky within his region with a calculative look.

2. Planet Xillion – 4 Viondur Eggs > 1600 points

3. Planet Ozious –  3 Viondur Eggs > 1200 points

4. Planet Tribete – 3 Viondur Eggs > 1200 points

5. Planet Hixto – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

6. Planet Diov – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

7. Planet Osiris – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

8. Planet Oxlrk – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

9. Planet Ghundabault – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

10. Planet Indulus Prime – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

11. Planet Klaxosape – 2 Viondur Eggs > 800 points

Gustav stared at the top hundred planets on the screens that displayed the scoreboard. Everyone of them had at least two Viondur Eggs while the ones below a hundred and one had one each.

From the lower three hundreds, the other planets had not managed to get a single Viondur egg and unsurpringly earth was in the top eight hundreds.

Gustav nodded in satisfaction as he took note of the stats.

The planets he expected to be at the top were precisely the planets that were currently at the top.

The screens displaying the scoreboard remained up there for about two minutes before they dissappeared. At this time Gustav had already calculated the number of eggs left that were required to create a Viondur egg.

“Fortunately around eight thousand, four hundred eggs required for the creation of the Viondur Eggs are still unclaimed,” Gustav muttered.

(“Which means 1200 Viondur Eggs can still be created,”) The system inputted.

“Yes but if we were to subtract the number of those who haven’t gotten their Eggs to a designated point yet, that number would be lesser,” Gustav voiced with a contemplative expression.

(“In other words in the next one week there is a high probability eggs would no longer be available,”) The system added.

“Indeed… The winner would practically be decided so the last week would just be groups trying to rob other groups of their Viondur Eggs so they can rank higher on the scoreboard,” Gustav reckoned that the second week would decide things.

The last week would just be a dangerous one where groups with high ranks get hunted and chased.

‘I’ll have to come up with a plan for the last week,’ Gustav thought as he tapped his storage button.

An holographic tray where three feet large eggs could be spotted, appeared in his line of sight.

Gustav tapped on them and the eggs appeared in phyiscal form.

[Gravitational Manipulation Has Been Activated]

The eggs floated around Gustav and he proceeded to pick them one after the other, slotting them into the machine in front of him.

…Violet, Indigo, Orange, Neon, Dark red, Ultramarine, Raisin Black…

Gustav placed the eggs with these colors into the machine and waited.

Thiiiinnnnhhhhhh~

It suddenly glowed up intensely with a spectrum of colors and chimed softly a few times before a loud popping sound rang out.

Poooh!

A milky white egg with golden circular stripes shot out of the hole atop the machine in the next instant.

Gustav reached out and grabbed the egg which was the size of a human head. The circular golden stripes around it gave off a mystical glow as Gustav inspected it.

“So this is a Viondur egg… it almost feels like it has other uses besides just being the acquisition goal of a competition,” Gustav muttered as he activated God Eyes.

[God Eyes Has Been Activated]

Tik!

“Hngh!” Gustav exclaimed in pain as he felt a sharp stab in his eyes the instant he tried to see through the egg.

“A protective energy…” Gustav deactivated God Eyes while muttering.

(“Kinda suspicious,”) The system voiced.

“I agree but I’m not curious to the point where I’d jeopardise our acquisition of a Viondur Eggs so I won’t poke any further… for now,” Gustav decided as he kept the Viondur egg away.

He still had about three other required colors for creating a Viondur egg but four more were needed before he could use the machine at this designated point again.

He wanted to wait for his teammates to arrive before sourcing for more of these colored eggs but from what he could sense, the closest teammate to his location would still take at least 120 hours to get here.

The fourth disk was just too massive and they were unlucky to have spawned very far away. To Gustav this was still favourable because at the very least everyone would manage to get here before the second week ended.

If they had spawned farther than this, there was even a possiblity, they wouldn’t meet up till the challenge ended.

In the meantime, Gustav had decided he would gather more eggs and he expected the others to do the same as well while they were on their way here.

Gustav had already picked a checkpoint and decided to leave the Sacred Jewel here till he returned.

Zing!

A flash of bluelight enveloped his figure and he vanished in the next moment.

Gustav reappeared before a flaming frosted tree in the next instant. Up ahead he could spot another familiar looking cave.
