This time, Soya's harvest could be described as bountiful.
A solid 100,000 points of universal essence were securely obtained.
This finally provided ample confidence to advance the development of the new universe.
Leaning against the wall of the flying cube's cabin, Soya pondered internally.
It was time to return to his own parallel world.
I wonder how things are over there.
Is that guy Quitela still waiting in the same place.
But before going back, Vegeta and Nappa from the Seventh Universe were still immobilized mid air, they needed to be picked up first.
"Whoosh."
The energy patterns of the flying cube flowed across the surface of the hull, its speed increased several fold compared to before.
After all, having absorbed the energy of the two Destroyer Gods, Heles and Quitela, its propulsion system had long been completely transformed.
In just one hour, Soya carried Raditz through the universe barrier, coming to a steady halt above Earth in the Seventh Universe.
Below in the cloud layer, Vegeta and Nappa remained frozen in their immobilized postures, the ki around their bodies slightly due to prolonged tension.
During this time, the two of them had not been idle, their internal complaints almost never stopped.
The show's over, and you still have us immobilized here.
The feeling of being completely motionless is even worse than being beaten up.
Only when they saw the shadow of the flying cube did their tense bodies suddenly relax, a faint, barely noticeable flicker of relief flashing in their eyes.
Finally back.
"Boss, look quickly." Raditz suddenly moved close to Soya's side, his tone full of excitement, raising a hand to pat his own chest. "Several hours have passed, and my battle power is still firmly at 600, 000. There's not the slightest sign of entering a weakened period."
Soya followed his gaze, carefully sensing Raditz's energy aura, and found that his battle power was indeed 600, 000.
There really was no sign of decline at all.
"Boss, do you think maybe... this Super Combat God Water simply has no weakened period." Raditz rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation, his breathing even becoming a bit rapid.
If it really has no side effects, wouldn't that mean battle power could be increased infinitely.
"Perhaps." Soya withdrew his gaze, lightly tapping his chin with a fingertip as he fell into thought. "But we still need to observe for a few more days, wait until you are completely stable before discussing further."
"Then... boss, can I try drinking another bottle now." Raditz pushed his luck, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Soya.
The feeling of his battle power skyrocketing tenfold, Raditz still felt his blood boiling just thinking about it now, even feeling that a single sneeze from him now could send Vegeta flying.
Soya gave him a helpless glance, raising a hand to point towards the distant Vegeta and Nappa. "Let's pick up those two first."
As he spoke, Soya waved a hand, lightly flicking two threads of energy from his fingertips, pulling the still rigid duo into the flying cube.
As soon as the immobilization technique was lifted, Vegeta couldn't help but rub his sore shoulders.
Nappa was even more exaggerated, twisting his neck.
"Negative emotional value from Vegeta, +999."
"Negative emotional value from Nappa, +999."
The two contributed another wave of negative emotional value.
Soya paid them no mind, taking out a bottle of Super Combat God Water from the system space and casually tossing it to Raditz.
Raditz caught it with quick hands and eyes, not even glancing at the cap, unscrewed it and gulped it down, his movements crisp and efficient as if drinking ordinary beverage.
Soya's gaze was firmly locked on him, sensing his aura.
However, several minutes passed, and Raditz's battle power remained at 600, 000, not a single ripple of fluctuation.
"No reaction, boss..." Raditz pinched the empty capsule, the excitement on his face instantly fading, his tone full of disappointment, even raising a hand to pat his own stomach, as if confirming whether he had swallowed the god water.
"It might be the limit." Soya retracted his sensing beam, analyzing calmly.
"Then what if I train hard for a while, break through the bottleneck, and then drink it again." Raditz refused to give up, pressing further.
"You can try." Soya nodded in agreement.
"Good. Then I will definitely train desperately from now on." Raditz instantly reignited his fighting spirit, clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a desire to become stronger.
Beside them, Vegeta and Nappa listened, the corners of their mouths twitching. The two exchanged a glance, the frustration in their hearts almost overflowing.
So we two are just air.
Immobilized for so long, picked up without even a word of explanation.
Even giving a Super Saiyan trial card as a consolation prize would be fine.
"Negative emotional value from Vegeta, +999."
"Negative emotional value from Nappa, +999."
Only then did Soya focus his gaze on the two of them, smiling as he spoke. "Well. What are your thoughts, you two."
Vegeta's face instantly darkened as if ink could drip from it.
Nappa also hung his head, not daring to utter a sound.
Thoughts.
The us in this world are simply tragic.
"Hmph." Vegeta snorted coldly, turning his face away, his tone full of defiance. "If the me in this world had transformed into a Great Ape earlier, Kakarot would have been killed long ago. It can only be said he was too overconfident."
Vegeta spoke tough words, but internally he couldn't help feeling sour.
I am a genius warrior, yet I actually lost to a low class warrior.
In contrast, Nappa was straightforward and decisive, directly stepping forward, performing a kneeling salute on one knee towards Soya. "Boss, I submit. From now on, whatever you command me to do, I will do it without a second word."
Soya raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling upon Nappa, carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Vegeta glanced at Nappa, merely snorting disdainfully without saying anything more.
Nappa had already calculated internally.
The Raditz of this world, originally just a useless fighter with 1, 500 battle power, following the boss actually rose to 60, 000.
And what is my battle power now.
If I don't cling tightly to the big leg now, in the future I won't even compare to Raditz's toenail.
"The reason for having you stay and watch the entire process was to make you understand one principle." Soya's tone suddenly turned serious, his gaze sweeping over the two. "A low class warrior, through diligent training, can reach a height that crushes you. And you, one a genius warrior, one an elite warrior, in this world can't even defeat a low class warrior. Don't you think that's shameful."
These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing hard onto Vegeta and Nappa's hearts.
Vegeta's previously tense shoulders instantly slumped, his proud head also lowered slightly, no longer making a sound.
What Soya said was fact, Vegeta had no room for rebuttal.
Although Vegeta talked tough saying "transforming into a Great Ape could win", he knew deep down, in a real contest, he had already lost.
A low class warrior with a battle power of only 2 at birth, surpassing him in just ten short months was, for him, an immense irony.
Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, his body even trembling slightly from frustration.
Nappa also hung his head, his face flushed red.
The self in this world was already dead, although not the real self, that feeling of humiliation from "being defeated by a low class warrior" still made him feel deeply uncomfortable all over.
