The Bloodline System

Chapter 1583  You Are Weak

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

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

The courtroom still lay in ruins due to the cosmic power that had been unleashed within. Debris and rubble were strewn across the floor with scorched patches marked in Gustav's position.

 Despite the destruction, a sense of awe permeated the air.

 Spectators ranging from MBO officers to aliens, important dignitaries to alliance leaders, all stood in silent reverence, their gazes fixed on the central figure who made the entire world freeze.

In the midst of this chaotic scene, Gustav stood with his arm wrapped protectively around Angy.

After a moment of stunned silence, the judge regained her composure and raised the gavel.

Her voice, though trembling slightly, carried the weight of finality. "In light of the evidence and the actions witnessed here today, I declare Gustav Crimson innocent of all charges."

The sound of the gavel striking the surface echoed through the courtroom, a signal that justice had been served.

MBO officers moved swiftly with looks of urgency as they began to cater to the tied-up Gustavo Alliance members on the ground.

The Gustavo alliance members, once a formidable threat, were now powerless. Their supernatural abilities had been rendered useless by the cosmic bindings.

As the officers escorted them away, three familiar figures made their way through the wreckage toward Gustav.

Falco, E.E., and Aildris approached, their faces lighting up with relief and joy. The sight of their friend, victorious and vindicated, brought a warmth to their hearts.

E.E was the first to reach Gustav, throwing his arms around him in a bear hug. "Gustav, you did it! You're finally free!"

Gustav laughed, the sound rich and full of life. "E.E, it's good to see you're alive."

E.E. clapped Gustav on the back with a wide grin on his face. "You were amazing out there man,"

"I've never seen anything like that before. You really showed them."

Aildris nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting admiration. "You've always been strong, Gustav, but today, you were unstoppable."

"Are you truly the strongest now?" Falco was still in disbelief even though he was very happy about how it all turned out.

Gustav smiled in gratitude for his friends. "You guys are the best. I am aware of everything you did while I was out. Your support means everything."

As they shared a hearty reunion, laughter and light-hearted banter filled the air. The tension that had gripped the courtroom melted away, replaced by a sense of camaraderie and relief. It was a moment of triumph.

Gustav's expression grew serious as he turned to face the alliance leaders, who had been watching the reunion with mixed emotions. "There's something else that needs to be done," he said, his voice firm. "Ria needs to be freed. He's been held captive for too long. I am sure you know what will happen if I decide to head there myself."

Leader two piercing blue eyes remained imposing as he responded. "We promise, Gustav. We will ensure that Ria is released as soon as possible."

Gustav nodded with a steady gaze. "See that it's done."

No one ever spoke to the alliance or world leaders this way. Not even Jack. So this sight was quite shocking but seeing how Gustav had proclaimed he was now the most powerful on earth, it made sense for him not to cower to anyone.

With that assurance, the tension between Gustav and the alliance leaders eased slightly. They had witnessed his power, and now they saw his resolve to protect those he cared about.

They couldn't truly guage Gustav's strength but someone who was able to bring every single person on Earth to their knees, wasn't someone that be trifled with.

Amid the ruins, Angy turned to Gustav with love and affection gleaming in her eyes. "I'm glad you're okay, Gustav. I've missed you."

He looked at her as his heart overflowed with warmth. "I have missed you too, Angy. It's been a really long year without you."

Without another word, they leaned into each other, sharing a passionate kiss. Their lips entangled as they softly puckered away with Gustav's arms wrapping around Angy's waist.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and glued to his body tightly as the world behind them faded in this passionate moment. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a kiss filled with all the emotions they had kept bottled up – relief, love, and the promise of a future they would face together.

Falco, E.E., and Aildris exchanged knowing smiles, their hearts warmed by the sight of their friends' happiness. The courtroom, though still in disarray, felt a little brighter, a little more hopeful.

As the kiss ended, Gustav and Angy remained close, their foreheads touching. "What now?" she whispered with a soft tone.

Gustav took a deep breath as his gaze swept over the gathered crowd. "There's a lot to do but the problems of the universe can wait. Let's spend some time together first."

The sun was starting to set and the sky painted itself in hues of orange and pink.

Gustav and the others gathered outside the courthouse.

Falco looked up at the sky. "You know, after all this, I think we deserve a break."

E.E. chuckled. "A break sounds good. Maybe a little vacation? Somewhere far away from cosmic battles and courtroom drama."

Aildris nodded thoughtfully. "We should take some time to rest and recharge. But we also need to stay vigilant."

Gustav smiled at his friends, grateful for their unwavering support. "A break sounds perfect. We've earned it."

The scene outside the courthouse was one of chaos giving way to celebration. Spectators, dignitaries, and MBO officers were milling about, talking in hushed, excited tones, all eyes occasionally darting to Gustav and his friends as they stood together, basking in the aftermath of their victory.

Endric who had been watching everything from the top of a high-rise building in the distance, decided it was time to move.

With a leap, he launched himself off the building.

Fwwhoomm~

His body traveled in an elongated arc as he flew over multiple buildings lined up across the city.

He proceeded to blink in mid-air and vanished from sight. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared right before Gustav and the others, landing with a light thud.

"Big brother!" Endric's voice rang out with a mixture of joy and relief as he rushed forward.

Gustav turned just in time to catch his younger brother in a tight embrace. "Hey kiddo," he exclaimed with a voice filled with warmth.

 They held each other close, their bond as brothers reaffirmed in that heartfelt moment.

"It's good to see you," Gustav said, pulling back slightly to look at him.

Endric's eyes sparkled with happiness. "I'm so glad you're safe and finally free of all charges."

 It wasn't long before others began to join the group. Matilda approached, her eyes bright with emotion as she took in the sight of her friends.

"Matilda!" Angy exclaimed while rushing forward to hug her.

Matilda embraced Angy tightly, tears spilling down her cheeks. "Angy, it's been too long," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I thought I'd never see you again."

Angy held her friend close, her own tears flowing freely. "I'm here now, and so are you. Although a lot has happened, it all worked out."

As the emotional reunion continued, E.E., couldn't resist lightening the mood. "You know, Gustav," he said with a mischievous grin, "you must have been so horny since Angy vanished. Must have been a long, dry spell for you... Did you make use of your left hand?"

"That's wild man!" Gustav gave E.E a light jab while Laughter erupted from the group.

The tension of the past days that Gustav's trial had brought was melting away in this moment.

Even Gustav, who rarely indulged in such jokes, couldn't help but chuckle.

 Gustav shook his head with a smile. "But you're right. Having Angy back is more than I could have hoped for."

As the laughter subsided, the gathering grew even larger. Empress Dahria, the elder from Planet Orion, Ozious natives, the former alien child slave, and other witnesses who had testified to Gustav's innocence began to huddle around him.

 Their expressions were filled with gratitude and admiration.

Empress Dahria stepped forward with a friendly but authoritative bearing. "Gustav," she said with a melodic tone; "Your actions in the past have saved not just yourself but countless others. You have my deepest thanks... The people of Abruikis will forever be grateful."

Gustav nodded with a light smile. "Thank you, Empress Dahria. Your support and testimony were invaluable. I truly appreciate it."

The elder from Planet Orion, a wizened being with eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of the ages, nodded in agreement. "You have done great things Gustav. We are honored to have stood by you."

The alien child, with wide, curious eyes and a shy smile, approached and tugged at Gustav's sleeve. "Thank you once again mister," the child said in a small voice. "Eloisa is free because of you. You made the bad people go away."

Gustav squatted, meeting the child's gaze. "You're welcome," he said gently. "I'm glad I could help."
