Chapter 1346 An Accident Indeed

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

"Yes," Matilda replied.

"And I can't try to free them because even the slightest bit of tampering would trigger an implosion…" Gustav held his chin as he came to an understanding.

"Yes… there would be no point in freeing Planet Abruikis if the leaders are gone since everything would go to shit if there was no ruler."

"It would all be for nothing if Dahria dies…" Matilda added.

"How long before Riola is finished with the equipment?" Gustav inquired.

"Three days," Riola answered, "So long as you lots can learn to be quiet," He added.

"Grandpa Riola! That's Gustav Crimson!" Oola yelled from the side.

"Especially you kiddo. Your mouth keeps running like a never-ending stream," Riola raised his head to shoot Oola a glance.

"Akkk!" Oola exclaimed like she had just been shot by a thousand invisible arrows.

"Hmph!" Riola readjusted his tri-monocle.

"Toldou get me the fenner wheel," He instructed.

Toldou instantly moved to grab an odd-looking fan-like tool and passed it to him.

"We should leave them to it," Matilda said with a low tone before dragging Gustav into a separate space.

"I'm surprised she's still alive… how long has it been since you two saw each other?" Gustav inquired the moment they switched locations.

"Ten years…" Matilda had a teary expression as she muttered.

Her mind went back in time as she recalled the message she got from Dahria over five years ago…

The image of a beautiful-looking girl with two pear-shaped golden eyes and purplish skin crowned with silky long black hair appeared above a device in Matilda's grasp.

The outline of a square-shaped black mark could be spotted on her forehead along with green contour marks surrounding it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of an explosion could be heard coming from the footage which depicted the chaos that surrounded her.

The footage shook severally, and although the visibility in the surroundings was low, one could spot tiny red glowing particles in the surroundings.

"Matilda, I need your help! I didn't tell you the truth all those years ago, but I'm actually a princess to the largest empire on Abruikis.

We are currently at war. My empire was lacking in forces after my grandfather, the Emperor, was assassinated, and my father also went missing leaving me to cater for the kingdom.

I lost over thirty percent of my forces to bad leadership, and some even defected to the other kingdoms after deeming me unworthy to lead..." Tears started streaming out of her eyes as she got to this point.

"I don't want my people to perish, so I will have to surrender. I know many of them will meet their end because of my decision, but I have no other choice so long as some lives can be preserved. I have repeatedly requested help from Earth, but they ignored my pleas saying they cannot interfere in interplanetary wars.

I do not wish to disturb you with my problems, but if this message does get to you... Please, Matilda, get help for my people. I know you, Matilda. You're strong. When you become powerful enough, please try to save my people.

If you can't, it's okay too. Just make sure you live your life to the fullest and be happy. Regardless of what comes to be, I have always loved you, and I will always love you.

I haven't forgotten all the times we spent together. Our fond memories are one of the things that kept me going through the toughest times."

"I focused on getting stronger all this time and increasing my MBO rank so I could finally rescue her and save her planet. Didn't think this is how things would turn out — with Angy missing and you becoming a fugitive," Matilda let out a sigh as she returned to the present.

Not only had she deserted the MBO to go on this unsolicited mission which remained unapproved, but she wasn't even powerful enough to save Dahria and Angy without help.

"If the ones who took over didn't kill her after she surrendered then they must need her for something. They killed her father and immediate family members but left her in captivity. She must hold some kind of value," Gustav rubbed his chin slightly.

"The current emperor wants her to bear his kids," Oola voiced from the side.

"Oh? Couldn't he just impregnate anyone else?" Gustav questioned.

"The royal line has to be continued. They bear a bloodline that will be lost if Her Majesty was to perish without bearing offsprings," Oola explained.

"Hmm, I guess that explains it…" Gustav muttered.

However, he couldn't put his thumb on why he felt there was still something missing but he was okay with working with the amount of information he had.

"I'll head back for now and give them a little run for their money." Gustav voiced while turning around.

"Three days… After that, I'll strike. I should take them by surprise," Gustav added.

Matilda nodded in response, "I'll focus on saving Dahria and the others… you go on a rampage when the time comes."

Gustav nodded after transforming back into Barron Diov.

"Gustav…" Matilda suddenly called out to him before he could leave.

"Hmm?" He mumbled after pausing his steps.

"Try not to interfere when you see any wrongdoings on your way back… It's best we remain as discreet as possible," Matilda cautioned.

"Sure," Gustav stated before completely vanishing from their presence.

("It might be a little too late for that warning,") The system rang in Gustav's head as he reappeared outside the structure.

"Shut up… it won't cause any issues," Gustav responded internally as his figure blurred.

Swwiiihhhh~

A burst of wind spread in all directions as Gustav recalled what had happened an hour ago while his figure streaked across the air.

"Please I just need…ded wa-ter for my son!"

Bam! Bam! Pah!

"I'm not… I'm n-ot… not a thief!"

Bam! Pah! Pah!

"Please! My son… my s-on would have… di-ed of thirst like his little sister and mother!"

Bam! Pah! Pah!

"Kiiiarhh! Please! I…"

Bam! Pah! Pah!

The sound of kicks and blows continuously rang out as a group of three in green and red robes surrounded an Abruikis native in a tattered outfit. They assaulted the blue-skinned individual without mercy despite his heartbreaking screams and pleas.

All of a sudden…

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out behind them causing a large thirty feet tall structure to collapse. The officials immediately stopped and turned around with looks of confusion as everyone ran helter-skelter.

"You two go check it out, I'll deal with…" He was still speaking when he turned his head around to stare at the individual they were beating up a second ago.

"Where did he go?" He asked with a tone of confoundment.

The other two turned around in surprise. "Huh? Where did he go?" Another one of them asked.

"Isn't that what I just asked?" Just as they began arguing about the tattered man who suddenly vanished, another explosion rocked the vicinity.

"Ahhhhhh!" All three of them screamed uncontrollably as a large piece of flaming building descended from the sky.

Bang!

All three of them got crushed before they could get away.

"It was just an accident…" Gustav muttered as his mind returned to the present.

("An accident indeed…") The system said with a tone of ridicule.

In an unknown location covered with greenish mist, a figure could be barely spotted trotting through. It almost looked like he was walking in the sky since the mist in the vicinity was like clouds with a different color.

This figure had a tight-fitted black t-shirt on with ash-colored pants. His facial hair made him look like he wasn't a day above twenty-six years of age and his curly black hair occasionally fluttered due to the mild winds blowing across the place.

The vicinity seemed quite serene and spectacular. One would feel like they were on a vacation if they visited this place but this was far from the thoughts of the person currently traversing the environment.

KRRROOOOHHH!

A roar suddenly rang out as a serpentine-shaped creature, the size of a sky scrapper appeared within the sea of greenish mist.

It was unknown if it had been there all this time, staying unnoticed, but one sure thing was that it had spotted the individual who had just wandered into its domain.

Twwwiiiihhhhhh~

It charged forward powerfully, causing the greenish mist in the surroundings to clear a path due to the immense volume of wind its figure generated.

The humanoid figure it was aiming for suddenly raised his right arm with an unbothered expression on his face.

Pah!

He snapped his finger effortlessly, causing an invisible barrier to appear between himself and the creature.

Bang!

Its gigantic beastly face crashed into the invisible barrier, causing a loud blast to ring out as powerful shockwaves surged forth from their position.

As the greenish mist in the vicinity cleared from the collision, thousands of arm-sized bat-like creatures rained from the air with blood.
