Chapter 766 - A Dream?

"Also, just like me... Vera has feelings for Gustav..." Angy's voice broke a little at the end of this sentence.

"Still..." Glade was about to disagree again when Angy interrupted.

"Stop it! You wouldn't understand anyway since you've never had feelings for anyone," Angy lashed out with sudden annoyance.

"Everyone else, including you, is likely to betray Gustav rather than Vera..."

Glade felt like an invisible sledgehammer hit her chest as she heard these words from Angy.

"I know because I've seen that look in her eyes when Gustav's name is mentioned... I understand because I and her share a common feeling," Angy added.

"So I believe she's sincerely trying to find Gustav and wouldn't mess around like that, so just stop it. Don't pick on her anymore," Angy said before turning around to leave.

Glade was left standing there speechless. She never knew Angy could talk to her this way. Thinking about it now, she realized that Angy had been changing since the incident at camp.

Angy's words about betrayal stabbed deep into her heart, making her feel a variety of emotions within.

She thought about everything she had done so far and tried to validate her reason for doing it.

'I need to watch out for myself... It's not betrayal; they might not even catch him,' She said internally while trying to calm her pounding heart down.

'Yes, I'm only watching out for myself like any normal person will do... Duties over emotions,' She breathed in and out for some time before finally calming down.

She proceeded to move towards the bed and sat on it.

'What's wrong with Angy?'

A few hours later, Miss Aimee returned to the apartment and called everyone out for a meeting.

"He is not in the city, but we cannot dispute the probability that he came here," Miss Aimee voiced out in their midst.

"Knowing Gustav, he's probably trying to fix the issue himself, so coming back here is a strong possibility," Miss Aimee added.

"We believe that as well, Miss Aimee," E.E voiced out with his right hand holding onto a towel he was rubbing on his bushy hair.

"Hmm, I will group you kids in three sets and send you to the other neighboring cities that have not been covered yet," Miss Aimee stated in her plan.

"You will make investigations there and try to find any clue of Gustav being in the city you find yourself within. The moment you find anything suspicious, report back to me through the communication device," Miss Aimee added.

"Miss Aimee, there's ten of us, so that would mean there will be three teams, and one person would be left out," Angy voiced out.

"I know. Vera is staying here in the city," Miss Aimee responded.

"Oh, I see, she's like a Gustav sensor, so she'll inform us the moment she senses Gustav's presence in the city," Falco said while holding his chin.

"The rest of you will be distributed to other cities. I'll take you to the base in a few to get some necessary gadgets that will be useful," Miss Aimee said to them before heading up the stairs.

Everyone looked determined at this point, knowing they were about to start the mission officially.

This would likely take some time since they had no idea of where they would start the moment they were sent to a city, but nevertheless, they were ready to play their part in finding Gustav.

************

In the underground tunnelway beneath the burning sands, Gustav laid on a small piece of clothing he used to form a bed.

He had a convertible mini-house in his storage device, but the s.p.a.ce in this area was just too small for it to fit.

So now he had to sleep on the ground. Gustav hadn't felt this tired in a long time, and his System Energy points were high, but this drainage was a different kind, so he was affected regardless.

He had already stayed two days without sleeping which was something he could pull off easily, but this time he had to sleep.

*********************

s.p.a.ce rumbled, and tremors travelled across the universe, causing planets to quake from the sheer intensity of an unknown ent.i.ty.

Gustav found himself floating in the intergalactic s.p.a.ce, staring at a faceless being radiating with so much chaos time was being rendered immobile.

Rifts were appearing all over the place. Stars were exploding and disappearing into nothingness.

This ent.i.ty seemed to be destroying and consuming all that exists.

"YOU DARE STAND AGAINST ME, MORTAL?"

s.p.a.ce trembled even more at the echo of the voices.

Gustav had never felt so much fear before. This wasn't even close to how he felt when he was being bullied all those times when he was young and powerless. He had no idea what this was, but it shook him to his very core.

He was floating in s.p.a.ce, yet, his entire body was covered in sweat.

"Who are you?" He subconsciously uttered this question.

"YOU DARE ASK WHO I AM? SUCH INSOLENCE! DISAPPEAR LIKE THE REST OF YOUR KIND, YOU PITIFUL CREATURE!"

As s.p.a.ce trembled at the sound of this voice, a ma.s.sive wave of dark and greenish-colored energy formed a claw that covered his entire line of sight.

This claw was as ma.s.sive as an entire planet and came cras.h.i.+ng towards Gustav with such intensity, tearing the fabric of reality apart.

"Huuu!"

Gustav suddenly woke up with sweat all over his body.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!" He was breathing in and out intensely.

"A dream?" Gustav came to this realisation as he sat up.

"It felt so real..." Gustav muttered.

He had forgotten what the concept of dreams was supposed to be all about after not having dreamt for over a year.

He forgot dreams were supposed to look real in the first place.

"What the h.e.l.l? Why would I have such a dream?" Gustav wondered, having read the theory of dreams in his high school days.

Dreams were supposed to be a representation of your thoughts and desires during the day, but he had never thought of something like this, neither did he desire to have such an encounter in his lifetime.
