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

The final results displayed on the scoreboard undoubtedly solidified Earth's place as number one in the Egg Viondur Challenge.

The Handler went on to congratulate the earth's candidates for winning, ignoring loud chatters that reverberated across the vicinity.

It had been a very long three weeks and the Handler went on to announce that there would be about four days of rest before the next major challenge.

During this time frame only sub challenges would be ongoing so the main team from every planetary group could recuperate.

While the Handler gave briefings, Gustav wondered if they were going to mention the other dimension in between the fourth and fifth disk. 

He eventually realised they weren't going to mention it, neither were they going to say anything about the Diaporonians who went in with twenty participants and came out with only ten.

The Diaporonians weren't the only group that lost teammates during the Viondur Egg Challenge, however, they were the only group that had purposely sacrificed their teammates.

The other groups had lost teammates in accidents or dangerous situations. No one that lost their life, did so due to another participant.

Gustav figured that since the handlers were not going to say a word about this, then there was a high chance footage within the other dimension on the fourth disk was not displayed. He was right. 

The spectators as well as every IYSOP participant besides Earth and the Diaporonians, no one was aware of the other Dimension. 

'I wonder why they decided to keep all of it a secret,' Gustav thought. 

("Well, I guess its normal for every great planet to have a secret or two... or more than two,") The system responded internally.

'Hmm, so long as they don't put anyone I care about in harmsway, it's fine, I guess,' Gustav felt he had more things to worry about than the intricacies of an alien planet.

He recalled he wouldn't have a moment of rest after IYSOP ended because there was something he instantly had to do. If he could leave IYSOP midway he would since he considered that more important but as the captain, he couldn't just abandon everyone.

Currently Handler One was announcing that they were closing in on the mid phase of IYSOP and it was finally time for the first round of disqualifications.

The main scoreboard appeared on the floating screens above, displaying the points every planet had acquired since the start of the competition. 

"The earth has an allocation of twenty thousand extra points after coming first in the Viondur Egg Challenge,"

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

<< Planet Earth - 55,800 points >>

<< Planet Draconet - 34,400 points >>

<< Planet Ozious - 31,000 points >>>

<< Planet Indulus Prime - 27,600 points >>

<< Planet Tribetes - 27,100 points >>

<< Planet Phixiq - 25,400 points >>

<< Planet Osiris - 24,400 points >>

....

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

Gustav stared at the main scoreboard and could see that the results had been updated. Earth was initially sixth place overall with a score of nineteen thousand points.

Now with the combination of the points from the eggs gathered along with the bonus from being the first place in the latest challenge, they had given Planet Draconet quite the gap.

Planet Phixiq may have lost the first place in the Viondur Egg Challenge  but they gained enough points to climb to sixth place from their initial 542nd position. 

The Viondur Egg challenge was said to be the challenge where the highest number of points can be gathered compared to other major challenges and there was no doubt about that right now.

The current scores would make it difficult for others to contend but they still had hope due to the fact that not even 50% of IYSOP challenges had been scaled yet.

"Teams that have acquired lower than five thousand points will now be disqualified," Handler One announced as everyone placed their focus on the bottom parts of the rankings. 

There were still close to three thousand participants planets at this point but now that it was time for disqualification, over nine hundred planets didn't make the cut.

At number 1927, planet Vorisha was the last with the 5000 points required. Every other number after had less than five thousand points.

Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!

Groups began to dissapear one after the other from the middle of the arena. This obviously marked the disqualification of weaker and less remarkable planetary groups, leaving the other nearly two thousand planetary groups remaining.

While the number had whittled down by a lot, there were still many groups left.

"I'm guessing the next disqualification round will happen after the next two major challenges," Gustav said out loud.

"Hmm, so long as our points are high, we should be fine right?" Teemee questioned from the side.

"It depends on the what the next requirement is placed upon. This time it is points, but it might be something else next time," Gustav responded with a dismissive tone so as not to make anyone worry.

"I feel like I've been getting really nefarious glares," Glade voiced from the side.

"That's normal. We're first position, remember?" Teemee stated from the side.

"It feels different from that," Glade added with a slightly creased eyebrows.

"You're just overthinking," Falco chimed in.

Everyone felt this was the usual since they had all engaged in battle with a couple of participants who were still here.

Handler One mentioned a few more things before finally dispersing the crowd as he officially announced once more that the Viondur Egg Challenge had ended.

The participants began to make their way out of middle of the arena at this point, when suddenly Gustav's path was blocked by a figure with multiple limbs and star shaped patterns all across his body.

"We have unfinished business," Captain Strum stated as he emitted an outburst of energy. 

Wwhoooosshhh~

Blaring winds blasted across the vicinity as dust was stirred up as well. 

"Oh?" 

The participants in the vicinity instantly moved aside to avoid getting caught in as they spectated. The official spectators in the spectators corners all paused as well.

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

This was one he already looted so he didn't bother going in. Instead he turned to another direction before heading forward. 

"Since these flaming trees that don't get consumed signify checkpoints for areas with caves possessing the same colors of eggs, there's no point in checking the other caves," Gustav was well aware that he would find the same eggs colors he got from this cave earlier which was still in his possession. 

He needed other colors so he had to leave this area.

Fwwwhooommm~

Gustav leapt into the air and dissappeared from sight in the next instant.

"That is exactly why I have come here. The leaders of the alliance need to be warned," Within the seating area of earth's spectators Miss Aimee voiced out.

"Are you sure? For such a claim, proof is needed or no one would be willing to take your word for it," Grand Commander Shion responded.
