"Hmph, I hope you won't regret this later!" Quitela sneered contemptuously, crossing his arms, not putting Heles in his eyes at all.
In Quitela's view, both of them had a large amount of energy absorbed, so their strength should not differ much.
Moreover, Heles was no match for him to begin with.
"Swish!"
As soon as his words fell, Heles' figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Quitela as if teleporting. His speed was so fast it only left an afterimage, causing even the space of the universe to ripple slightly.
Quitela's eyes instantly widened, the contempt on his face instantly turning into astonishment, his pupils filled with disbelief.
This guy's speed...
When did it become this fast?!
Quitela knew very well that his own speed had decreased significantly due to the energy absorption by the flying cube.
Heles should be the same in theory!
How could he suddenly become this fast?
This simply defies all logic!
Before Quitela could react, Heles had already thrown a punch.
"Bam!"
An uppercut accurately hit Quitela's chin. The force was so great it directly sent his body flying upward. A short "oww" of pain escaped his mouth, his teeth nearly shaken loose.
"Thud!"
Heles gave Quitela no chance to catch his breath. Following immediately, he flew up and delivered a fierce kick squarely to his abdomen, sending him flying away like a kite with its string cut, tumbling rapidly through space, smashing through several floating asteroid fragments.
"Not bad, not bad! This feeling is fantastic!" Heles moved his wrist, feeling the surging power within his body, extremely excited. "My strength has indeed increased tenfold!!"
"Didn't I tell you I never lie?" Soya sat inside the flying cube, grinning, a hint of pride in his eyes.
Heles: "..."
Who would believe you when you say that?
You tricked us with the bet earlier, and now you bring out this heaven defying tool!
You're clearly a huge swindler!
"This... this is impossible! This absolutely cannot be!" Quitela stabilized himself from the tumble, clutching his painfully aching abdomen, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What you drank just now must have been a potion to restore Destruction Energy, definitely not one to increase strength! It must be so!"
"Hmph, Quitela, whether my strength has increased or not, wouldn't I know best myself?" Heles chuckled lightly, his figure flickering once again.
"Swish!"
This time, Heles appeared directly behind Quitela. He slightly clenched his hand into a fist and delivered a heavy blow to his back.
Quitela mechanically turned his head, looking at Heles who was now right in front of him, his expression turning extremely ugly. He didn't even have time to form a thought of resistance.
"Boom!"
Heles' fist smashed fiercely into Quitela's back, the powerful force instantly piercing through his body.
Quitela was beaten so hard his eyes rolled back on the spot, everything going dark before him.
The next moment, Quitela's head tilted to the side, his body going limp in the space of the universe, fainting on the spot.
After all, Quitela had long been weakened from energy loss. Being hit by Heles whose strength had skyrocketed tenfold, fainting was only natural.
"Soya, thank you so much!" Heles flew to the side of the flying cube, so excited his voice trembled slightly.
Trading 50,000 points of Cosmic Essence for a tenfold increase in strength, this deal was simply too cost effective!
Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result was undoubtedly perfect.
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort." Soya smiled slightly, directly flying out of the flying cube. A pair of gloves appeared in his hand.
It was the Memory Gloves.
Soya flew to the side of the unconscious Quitela and patted him several times in succession. His movements were skillful, clearly not his first time doing this.
After finishing all this, Soya swaggered back into the flying cube.
"You... what did you just do to Quitela?" Heles was slightly taken aback. Watching Soya's actions, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he quickly asked.
"Nothing much, just erased a portion of his memory, mainly regarding the Saiyan race and the content of our bet. This saves me the trouble of him coming after me after he wakes up." Soya said with a smile, not hiding anything, speaking the truth.
"Erase memory?" Heles was stunned, a flash of confusion in his eyes.
And upon hearing the words "erase memory," Heles felt something was off, as if something important had been forgotten.
Heles stared at Soya's Memory Gloves, suddenly feeling this scene was incredibly familiar.
It was as if a long time ago, he himself had experienced something similar.
"You... did you erase my memory before too?" Heles looked at Soya somewhat suspiciously, a note of uncertainty in his tone.
He always felt that his impression of Soya seemed to have a blank period.
"Nothing of the sort, how could that be?" Soya's eyes flickered slightly, showing no intention to admit it, and he quickly changed the subject. "We've only known each other for a short while, why would I do such a thing? You're overthinking it."
"Forget it, even if memory was erased, it doesn't matter anymore." Heles shook his head and quickly pushed the matter to the back of his mind.
For him, the most important thing now was the fact that his strength had increased tenfold.
As for minor past events, there was no need to dwell on them.
Heles clenched his fist, feeling the powerful strength within his body, and couldn't help but indulge in fantasies.
Now that my strength has increased tenfold, from now on, I should be the strongest Destroyer God among the 12 universes, right?
That guy Beerus probably isn't my match anymore!
"Um... about the Saiyan battle we saw on the crystal ball earlier, you won't tell Quitela, will you?" Seeing that Heles was no longer pursuing the question, Soya breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.
"You're worried he'll find your people and seek revenge on you, aren't you?" Heles quickly understood Soya's meaning, the corner of his mouth curling into a knowing smile.
"Correct." Soya nodded, not hiding his concerns.
"Don't worry, I won't tell." Heles smiled sincerely, not a trace of impurity in his eyes.
Soya had given him such a huge benefit, so Heles naturally would not repay kindness with ingratitude.
Soya could see Heles' sincerity in his eyes and knew it was highly unlikely he would leak the secret.
But even if he accidentally said something, it wouldn't matter.
After all, there are countless parallel worlds with Dragon Balls. Even if the Saiyans in this world were affected, there are still people in other parallel worlds. There's simply no fear of Quitela's revenge.
"I'm off, goodbye!" Soya waved at Heles, hesitated no longer, immediately controlled the flying cube to change direction, and swiftly flew towards the direction of the Seventh Universe, soon becoming a small dot in the cosmos.
Heles hovered in place, watching Soya's gradually disappearing figure. The corner of his mouth involuntarily lifted as he softly muttered to himself: "Will we meet again?"
Taking one last look at the unconscious Quitela, Heles paid him no further mind. Transforming into a stream of purplish red light, he vanished in an instant.
