A better future compared to how things would have turned out if you didn't act at all,' Husarius replied.

'You are crazy! You are crazy if you think I am going to let that happen,' Endric face scrunched up in annoyance as he engaged Husarius. 

'There's really nothing you can do about it,' Husarius reiterated. 

'I won't sit by and let it happen,' Endric stated.

'If you interfere anymore than you already have, things will spiral out of control and everything will turn out much worse. In this case he only loses two but if you try anything he'll lose way more,' Husarius answered with a dismayed tone.

'Are you telling me, I caused the demise of over three million people for nothing?' Endric's gritted his teeth.

'It isn't for nothing... you achieved the best possible result,' Husarius answered internally with a dismissive tone.

'Darn you! You didn't tell me this was how things were going to end up!'

The day was finally coming to an end as the last batch for the day seemed to be ongoing. The highlights of today's battle challenge happened to be Gustav and Captain Strum's fight, along with Ophiener and Captain Illumo of Planet Xionsi.

Planet Xionsi was above Planet Ruhz on the rankings yet Ophiener won the battle against their captain by achieving a new level of enlightenment during the battle.

While their battle wasn't on the level of destructiveness and power of Gustav and Strum, it had been very hyped due to how Ophiener broke through and became very powerful.

Participants began to compare her strength to that of the other Captains after her win.

Currently, Abestos was in one of the stages battling against a Planet Ozious participant.

Their battle was one of the fights that was most focused on but at the moment Abestos didn't seem to be doing so good.

The redirection of energy from Abestos attack did nothing to help him against his opponent. He could barely successfully connect an attack, unless he took his opponent by surprise. 

On other cases, his attacks was acquired and imprinted upon by the Planet Ozious participant which he would in turn manipulate according to his desires.

Eventually...

< Ghorn Daritus Wins (Planet Ozious) >

< 1000 Points Attained >

Gustav had him challenge this Planet Ozious member to analyse some things so they didn't really mind about winning or losing.

"So long as you hit them so fast that they're unable to notice the attack prior, they won't be able to imprint on its energy... speed is the key but for those who don't have the required speed, you'll have to use your wits and take them by surprise. Pull them into a trap or a state where they are unable to counter the attack," Gustav advised his teammates after Abestos returned dejected from the stage.

Gustav knew they wouldn't be meeting Planet Ozious in a versus battle anymore but just incase of the future if they met during another challenge and had to battle it out, his teammates would know what to do.

Few minutes later, all the battles for today had come to an end and it was finally time for Handler One to address the public.

Once more, the arena turned quiet as an air of tension permeated the vicinity. 

"As mentioned yesterday, the disqualification period has arrived..."  As Handler One began speaking, the IYSOP ranking aappeared on the screens, also displaying the number of points planets had acquired so far.

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

<< Planet Earth - 90,501 Points >>

<< Planet Draconet - 82,900 Points >>

<< Planet Ozis - 75, 400 Points >>

<< Planet Indulus Prime - 74,000 Points >>

<< Planet Oxlrk - 71,700 Points >>

<< Planet Tribetes - 71,200 Points >>

<< Planet Diov - 70,000 Points >>

<< Planet Hixto - 69,500 Points >>

<< Planet Osiris - 68,400 Points >>

<< Planet Xillion - 62,000 Points >>

<< Planet Klaxosape - 61,600 Points >>

<< Planet Orion - 60,100 Points >>

<< Planet Ghundabault - 58,000 Points >>

....

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

The spectators took note of the planets at the last three places.

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

<< Planet Phixiq - 21,300 Points >>

<< Planet Vekuis- 20,600 Points >>

<< Planet Oaertin - 20,100 Points >>

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

No planet had aquired below twenty thousand points even though they were 531st, 532nd and 533rd respectively. 

This made everyone curious as to whether they'd reach the requirements or not. Last time the number of points needed was fifteen thousand and now everyone was way higher than that.

However, it wouldn't make sense for any Planet to not get disqualified.

"The top two hundred planets have successfully made it through the Battle Challenge and will be participating in the next major challenge," Handler One announced.

Yaaahhhh! Cheers~ Cheers~

Loud cheers rang out upon this announcement due to a lot of planets celebrating being amongst the top two hundred. However, the dread seemed to be higher since over three hundred planets were below the top two hundred. 

-"I thought there was going to be a number of required points,"

-"I thought so too,"

-"This sucks for a lot of planets,"

-"Planet Ruhz is at number 232,"

-:I guess we won't be seeing more of Opheiner then,"

A lot of spectators didn't understand why this method of disqualification was used instead of the usual.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the battle challenge but the top two hundred planets will not be participating because they have qualified to move onto the next challenge," Handler One continued speaking.

This statement caused a lot of them to beam up in confusion.

'If the top two hundred planets won't be participating, then which planets will be?' This was the question in the minds of many of them.

Handler One went on to explain that the planets that were 201 on the rankings down to 300 would be the ones participating in tomorrow's Battle Challenge. 

Planets below three hundred were automatically disqualified.

Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~ Zing~

Participants from planets below three hundred in the ranking started getting teleported away from the battle arena. Those who had acquired over ten thousand points higher than the last number of points required to.progress had their hopes dashed.

No one had expected that the disqualification would go this way. Nevertheless a lot of planets were glad that they ranked in the top two hundreds.

As for the planets who would still have battles tomorrow, Handler One mentioned that only fifty more planets would be given the chance to progress afterwards. 

This would mean that another half of the planets had been disqualified at the end of the Battle Challenge.

"Fifty versus fifty should be quite the interesting sight," Aildris voiced from the side.

"Doesn't this mean we have a day off tomorrow?" E.E voiced with a playful expression.

"That's true. We could just come as spectators or we could go on exploration on the other disks. We've not managed to enjoy our stay here," Teemee added from the side.

"I'm going to let Falco join us for the next major challenge," Gustav announced. 

"He can join us for the exploration too to ease his mind off things. Let's just have fun for a bit," E.E wrapped his arm around Gustav's neck as he agreed with Teemee's suggestion.

"What about Yuhiko?" Yonda questioned. 

"What about her?" Gustav voiced dismissively. 

"What do you mean what about her? You can't just shove her off the main team," Yonda stated. 

"She is just a substitute and has served her purpose as that," Gustav respomded.

"I vote that she remains on the main team. I don't want some unstable dude having my back," Yonda voiced with a strong tone.

Almost everyone stared at him with an expression of frustration as they heard this.

"It's not up for voting," Gustav voiced while turning around. 

At this point, Handler One had finished briefing the entire audience about the next set of events and the spectators began trooping out.

"You can't put our fate in the hands of someone unstable. Yuhiko is strong enough to be on the main team," Yonda continued going off.

"Yonda don't..." Even Yuhiko tried to stop him but he cut her off.

"You deserve this spot more than that Falco guy," He said with a smile.

"Stop wasting your time. She won't give you a shot regardless of your charade," Gustav stated casually as he continued stepping forward. 

"What? How... You..." Yonda's face displayed an expression of humiliation and anger as he subconsciously lunged forward. 

'Huh? What am I...' He realised his error too late as his fist was already headed for the back of Gustav's head.

Fwwhwiiii~

Gustav fluidly moved his neck sideways, causing Yonda's fist to whiz past his face as he turned while stretching his hand out.

All Yonda saw was a giant palm cover his entire face and next thing he knew, his entire body descended with speed.

Bang!

The back of his head slammed into the ground along with his entire body as Gustav held him in place effortlessly. 

Chatter~ Chatter~ Chatter~

"Aren't they supposed to be teammates?"

-"Why are they fighting?"

-"Looks like the earth is not as united as we thought,"

Participants from other planets in the vicinity chattered amongst themselves as they witnessed this scene.
