Chapter 456: The Humiliation of the Great King
Chapter 456: The Humiliation of the Great King
"We actually lost… even with Kale-san and Caulifla-san's fusion…"
"How could this happen… How could this happen…"
Kefla's defusion officially marked the defeat of Universe 6. Cabba and the others found it hard to accept, and Champa, who had pinned great hopes on Kefla, clutched his head in a breakdown.
"Yare yare, looks like Universe 6 really ends here."
"Boohoo, Lord Champa, once you guys are erased, I'll be sure to miss you every now and then when I have time."
Wiping away non-existent tears, Vados said with great "affection."
"Damn it, must be nice not needing to be erased, Vados,"
Champa muttered jealously, watching Vados still teasing him.
But then, as if something occurred to him, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Champa's eyes—
"Vados, isn't the Grand Priest your father? Why don't you help us bribe him a little and ask him to pardon our universe?!"
Leaning in toward Vados's ear, Champa whispered sneakily.
Looking at the adorably foolish Champa-sama, Vados gave a teasing smile.
They really are brothers… Not long ago, she heard Whis say that Lord Beerus had tried the same idea.
"Champa-sama, I suggest you give up such unrealistic thoughts."
"The one who decides which universes to erase is Grand Zeno, not my father. So even if you try to bribe him, it won't work. In fact, you might even get punished instead."
Champa had clearly been driven into a corner to come up with such a ridiculous plan, and now with Vados's blunt explanation, he completely deflated again.
"It's over, it's over, this time we're really done for…"
Gripping his head, Champa once again showed a completely defeated expression.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
"Universe 6, you guys are finished too!"
"Just wait to be erased with the rest of us—hahahahahaha!!!!"
The voice came from Universe 9. Kaioshin and the Trio of Danger were standing together, laughing obnoxiously with punchable faces.
Universe 9 had already been eliminated and were doomed to be erased by Grand Zeno. So now, whenever they saw another universe fall, they became overly excited.
They were doomed anyway, so let everyone else die too! Let's all die together!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
If it were before, Champa would've already stormed over to tear those bastards a new one, but now he had no energy left for that.
Let them laugh if they want. All he wanted now was a quiet moment alone…
Well, setting aside the happenings in the spectator stands, the scene returned to the arena.
After overwhelming Kefla and officially accepting Kale and Caulifla as his disciples, Yuujin carried them back to the Pillar of Time and tossed them into energy cages as well.
With that, Universe 6 was officially eliminated. The remaining opponents were only Universe 3 and Universe 7.
Because of Kefla's earlier bombardment, the arena had been torn in half and was now in ruins. It had even affected the ongoing battle of the other girls.
But now that Kefla had been defeated, their fight could resume.
CRASH!!!
Tearing through large chunks of shattered Thundersteel, the battered Son Goku and Vegeta crawled out from the debris.
"Ve…Vegeta, are you okay?"
"Huff…huff…"
"You're fine, so of course I'm fine!"
"Those two Saiyans from Universe 6 were strong… After fusing, they unleashed such terrifying power."
"Hmph. But in the end, they still lost to that guy!"
Taking turns to speak, Goku and Vegeta calmed their breathing.
Though Kefla gave them plenty of trouble, in a way, she had saved them.
In their earlier battle with Gokumi and Vegea, they were being completely overpowered and nearly lost. It was only because of Kefla's wild bombardment that the fight was interrupted, giving them a brief moment to breathe.
"Hey, are you two still planning to keep fighting?"
A voice rang out beside them—it was Gokumi.
Goku and Vegeta instantly switched to combat mode and turned toward the voice, seeing Gokumi and Vegea standing on a high platform nearby, looking down at them.
Although both girls had been affected by Kefla's attack, they still looked far better off than Goku and Vegeta.
"Yeah, please continue fighting with us, Gokumi, Vegea!"
"Our battle's not over yet—you're not getting away that easily!"
Goku spoke firmly, while Vegeta added coldly.
"Still want to fight? You guys aren't our match, though."
Tilting her head, Gokumi looked troubled.
She acknowledged Goku as a worthy opponent, but their power gap was far too large. Without using that technique—[Ultra Instinct]—he had no chance of standing against her. Continuing to fight would be meaningless.
And it wasn't just her—Vegea felt the same.
"Heh, sorry, but it's not just for ourselves. Even for the sake of our universe, we can't give up yet."
"Besides, who knows what'll happen until the very end?"
Goku grinned, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit and no hint of backing down.
"…Alright then."
Seeing their determination, Goteno's face grew serious.
With a burst of energy, both Gokumi and Vegea shattered the platform beneath their feet and launched themselves toward Goku and Vegeta.
At the same time, on the other side of the arena—
"Damn it!!!"
"That wretched woman! That wretched woman!!"
His limbs bound by glowing rings, the once-proud Frieza-sama was now kneeling like a dog, his face twisted with rage and humiliation.
He looked utterly miserable—his body covered in overlapping whip marks. Who knew how much cruel torment he had endured during this time?
And aside from the whip marks, his body was scorched in several places—burn marks left from Kefla's earlier explosive rampage.
Fortunately, Kefla had focused her attacks on Yuujin, and Frieza had only been caught in the aftermath. Otherwise, with his physique, he might not have even survived.
"I'm free!!!"
Exploding with energy, Frieza finally managed to break the rings on his hands, his face lighting up with ecstatic joy.
That damn Sharuru… That damn android… Once I'm free, I'll repay this humiliation a thousandfold! I'll make her beg for death!
He swore viciously in his heart. But just as he was about to destroy the ring on his foot, a sound of approaching footsteps echoed from afar—
"My little toy… what do you think you're doing?"
Frieza's whole body stiffened. He slowly lifted his head to see Sharuru smiling sweetly down at him.
"You… You…"
"Go to hell!!!"
Frieza's face turned panicked, but then twisted with malice. He summoned an energy blast, preparing to launch it at her.
But before he could act—BAM!—Sharuru stomped him straight back to the ground!
"A toy should act like a toy."
"Now then, let's resume our game from earlier. This time, you'll have to try extra hard to please me."
"Frieza!"
With a cruel, dark smile, Sharuru slowly raised her glowing whip before Frieza's terrified eyes—
"Stop it! Stop!!!"
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!"
