#351 - The King's Interest! Am I the God of Destruction?
Master Roshi understood the old Lord Frieza well, but he couldn't see through the current Lord Frieza.
Moreover, Master Roshi had a feeling that even if he asked Lord Frieza, his disciple would definitely not listen if it was necessary.
Whether the world would be destroyed now depended entirely on Lord Frieza's whim.
Despite the loud noise made by these martial artists, Master Roshi didn't take their words to heart at all.
Despite Master Roshi's lecherous nature, he saw things very clearly when it came to important matters.
Master Roshi couldn't possibly be unaware of the thoughts these martial artists harbored.
Wasn't it just that after witnessing Cell's power, they planned to sacrifice his disciple in exchange for a moment of safety?
But what would be the consequences of doing so?
Don't forget that Master Roshi's teacher was Master Mutaito, who sealed King Piccolo at the cost of his life.
Master Roshi was well aware that even if Lord Frieza really sacrificed himself, Cell, who didn't look like a human at all, would definitely make even more excessive demands step by step.
Lord Frieza and Master Roshi had been together for so long, and in the instant their eyes met, they already understood each other's thoughts.
Lord Frieza nodded slightly to Master Roshi, then looked directly at Cell and said, "You want to destroy this world? Then why don't I help you? I think you'll definitely be able to survive in space after the Earth is destroyed, right?"
Just as Lord Frieza spoke, a terrifying ki began to gather in the palm of his hand.
Seeing this scene, Goku widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Can… can he use the Kamehameha with just one hand?"
Yes.
At this moment, what Lord Frieza was displaying was a different kind of manifestation of the Kamehameha.
Although it was only one hand, the fact was that what Lord Frieza was displaying was no different from the real Kamehameha.
No.
To be precise, there was a difference.
And that was that Lord Frieza's Kamehameha was much more powerful than Master Roshi's.
Once it was thrown to the ground, it could truly shatter the Earth in an instant and disappear into the depths of the universe.
Cell was stunned on the spot.
Lord Frieza actually dared to destroy the Earth?
What if he really destroyed the Earth, what would he do?
You must know that the most powerful cells in Cell's body came from the Saiyans, but unfortunately, although the Saiyans had amazing combat power, they had no way to survive alone in space.
Whether it was Goku or Vegeta or other Saiyans, they all needed to wear spacesuits when they appeared in space.
As for Cell, although his strength was powerful, even no less than Super Saiyan, whether he could survive in space was something even Cell himself couldn't be sure of.
"Wait… wait," Cell said, cold sweat streaming down his face, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, "There's no need for us to threaten the entire world."
Lord Frieza looked at Cell playfully and said, "What? Are you planning to fight me?"
"That's right," Cell said with an arrogant look, "Put down the Spirit Bomb in your hand first."
The Kamehameha was actually a type of Spirit Bomb. If Master Roshi hadn't taken Goku as a disciple and promoted the Kamehameha, it wouldn't have such a big reputation.
And in Cell's eyes, the ki in Lord Frieza's hand was completely a Spirit Bomb with amazing destructive power.
With a pinch of his fingers, the Spirit Bomb in Lord Frieza's hand instantly vanished as if it had never appeared.
Widening his eyes, Cell looked at Lord Frieza's actions in surprise, and a strong sense of unease and panic began to rise in his heart.
In fact, the speed at which ki gathered could be used to judge the strength of a martial artist.
Especially in the case of a Spirit Bomb technique with amazing destructive power, the faster it gathered, the stronger the strength.
Without a doubt, just the speed at which Lord Frieza had gathered the Spirit Bomb just now made Cell truly feel Lord Frieza's terror.
And the dissipation of the Spirit Bomb was the same.
The means to condense a Spirit Bomb that could destroy the Earth with ease, and to make the Spirit Bomb disappear directly with a grip of his fingers.
Even Cell, who claimed to be capable, couldn't easily do it.
When he realized that he might not be Lord Frieza's opponent, Cell immediately had the idea of running away.
If he wasn't Lord Frieza's opponent now, he would find a way to improve himself, even… even find ways to obtain Lord Frieza's cells. When that time came, he could also master the power that originally belonged to Lord Frieza.
"Roar," Cell roared, and a terrifying ki instantly surged around him.
Just when everyone thought that a battle between Lord Frieza and Cell was about to unfold.
A black shadow that seemed to have no thickness slowly unfolded under Cell's feet.
And under the cover of the strong ki, all of this was carried out silently.
Seeing that the black shadow, which looked like a two-dimensional plane, was about to expand to the point where it could swallow Cell in an instant.
Android 18's eyes narrowed, and she shouted a reminder: "Father, be careful, this guy wants to run away."
Lord Frieza was stunned for a moment.
Want to run away?
Cell made such a big commotion, but he just wanted to run away?
But if he wanted to escape, shouldn't he rely on the time machine?
Where's the time machine now?
Although there were many doubts in his mind, Lord Frieza would definitely not watch Cell escape in front of him.
With a flash of his figure, Lord Frieza instantly appeared in front of Cell.
His five fingers grabbed towards Cell like lightning.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Cell's eyes.
Almost!
He was almost able to escape from this era. It was all that damn Android 18's fault for being so talkative.
Seeing that Lord Frieza was about to reach out and grab him, a trace of madness flashed in Cell's eyes.
No, he absolutely couldn't fall into this guy's hands.
Lord Frieza's power did indeed make Cell completely terrified, but that didn't mean Cell was really willing to die in Lord Frieza's hands like this.
Seeing that Lord Frieza was about to grab him, Cell did his best to launch his only attack towards Lord Frieza.
Two powerful ki instantly collided, and at this time, Lord Frieza finally realized that Cell's way of escaping was to provide this shadow that looked like a two-dimensional plane.
The collision of the two powerful ki instantly set off an apocalyptic scene like a natural disaster around the World Martial Arts Tournament venue.
Android 17 and Android 18, who were the first to bear the brunt, Master Roshi, Goku, including a group of martial artists, were all blown away by this terrifying aftermath without exception.
Of course, there would inevitably be unlucky guys who would die directly in the aftermath of the battle.
But it was only a minority. After all, although the ki of the Dragon Ball world was amazing in combat power, the same powerful martial artists could perfectly control their own ki and would not easily cause the leakage of power.
This was also why, when the strong made a single Spirit Bomb attack, they could even destroy the planet, but when they fought, the aftermath of the battle didn't have much impact on the surroundings.
Even Hercule, a martial artist who hadn't even cultivated ki, could watch the battle between Cell and the Earth's strong, and even regard the scene of Goku and the Earth's strong releasing Spirit Bombs as a small game of throwing light balls.
At this moment, it was the same between Lord Frieza and Cell.
But the difference was suppression. The collision of Cell and Lord Frieza's two ki didn't cause much damage to the surroundings, but it caused serious damage to the thing under Cell's feet, the shadow like a two-dimensional plane.
Silently, the black shadow under Cell's feet gradually cracked, and the cracks continued to expand.
"No," Cell's eyes widened instantly.
Boom.
As if unable to withstand the collision between Lord Frieza and Cell, the black two-dimensional plane shadow instantly exploded.
At this moment, Lord Frieza clearly felt that a force that seemed to come from the universe itself spread out instantly with the explosion of the shadow two-dimensional plane.
And a strange attraction swept in instantly from the core of the explosion.
Seeing that he was being wrapped up by this strange attraction, Cell was about to fall into it.
Lord Frieza sent Cell a Spirit Bomb in an instant.
Boom.
In another violent explosion, Cell's entire body was gone, and at the same time, the explosion of the Spirit Bomb once again caused the black two-dimensional plane that had already spread to continue to grow.
Seeing that the spreading black domain was about to come into contact with him, Lord Frieza inexplicably felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
When Lord Frieza subconsciously wanted to avoid the black domain, the black domain suddenly swelled.
And unfortunately, Lord Frieza was wrapped into it.
His figure disappeared from this world in an instant.
Not long after Lord Frieza disappeared, several figures quickly rushed to the battlefield where Lord Frieza and Cell fought.
But at this moment, Lord Frieza was gone, not only Lord Frieza, but even Cell was gone.
Android 18 and Android 17 searched around for a long time, but they couldn't find any clues about Lord Frieza.
Those martial artists who were lucky enough to survive at this moment seemed to have forgotten that they had wanted to morally kidnap Lord Frieza and make Lord Frieza take the initiative to sacrifice himself to die. The people of the Turtle School were also searching for Lord Frieza's traces here.
In the end, in the absence of any results, many martial artists had to suspect that Lord Frieza had perished together with Cell.
"Master Roshi, is Senior Brother really dead?" Compared to Krillin, who didn't have much feeling, Goku, who had been in contact with Lord Frieza, was obviously a little unable to accept Lord Frieza's death.
Master Roshi sighed softly and said, "Luo Fu's energy is gone. I'm afraid he really perished together with that monster called Cell."
On Earth, they were beginning to believe that Luo Fu was dead.
However, Luo Fu found himself on a vast, flat plaza.
The plaza was paved with smooth stone blocks.
Scanning his surroundings, Luo Fu's gaze quickly locked onto a strange figure.
It was a lifeform that looked short, almost like a doll, with a round head and face. The middle of its purple head, at the cheeks, had a ring of blue, and its eyes were located at the border between the blue and purple.
It had no nose, only a small mouth.
Its ornate clothing was adorned with two geometric 'king' characters, one above the other.
The moment he saw this figure, Luo Fu blurted out, "Zen-Oh."
"You do recognize me," Zen-Oh said, seemingly pleased. "Can you tell me, what exactly are you?"
Luo Fu paused, becoming wary. "Did you bring me here?"
"Why did you appear in Universe Seven? And why were you able to turn Universe Seven into two?"
"Universe Seven split?" Luo Fu asked in surprise.
Originally, there were eighteen universes under Zen-Oh, but six of them had angered Zen-Oh for some reason and were completely destroyed.
Sun Wukong, Luo Fu, and the others were in Universe Seven, one of the remaining twelve universes.
"Not split, but Universe Seven went from one to two," Zen-Oh said, holding up two fingers.
Although he knew Luo Fu was full of questions, Zen-Oh didn't explain anything. Instead, he cut to the chase and said, "The new Universe Seven has no Supreme Kai and no God of Destruction. Would you like to be a Supreme Kai? Or a God of Destruction?"
Luo Fu's mind seemed to short-circuit. Although he had been full of questions when he first met Zen-Oh, his thoughts were now being influenced, and he could only focus on the topics Zen-Oh brought up.
"My strength probably isn't enough to become a Supreme Kai or a God of Destruction, right?"
"It doesn't matter, then you'll be the God of Destruction," Zen-Oh said matter-of-factly, then waved his small hand. "You only have the title of God of Destruction now. You can do the work of a God of Destruction when you have the strength."
As soon as he finished speaking,
even though Zen-Oh didn't make any movements, Luo Fu's figure was enveloped from below by a black, two-dimensional shadow that suddenly appeared at his feet.
As the flat shadow rose, Luo Fu's body gradually disappeared into it.
In an instant, Luo Fu vanished from Zen-Oh's sight.
"Lord Zen-Oh," the Grand Minister, with his light blue skin and a halo behind his head, appeared out of thin air before Zen-Oh. He bowed and said, "This guy is too suspicious. Why didn't you kill him?"
"Why kill him?" Zen-Oh asked, looking at the Grand Minister with genuine confusion, as if he had no intention of killing Luo Fu at all.
Hearing this, the Grand Minister didn't dare to ask any further.
After all, although Zen-Oh looked cute, the Grand Minister knew that Zen-Oh was definitely not a child who could be easily deceived.
Who would dare to point fingers at Zen-Oh rashly? If they angered Zen-Oh, the six universes that Zen-Oh had completely destroyed would be a warning.
The Grand Minister clearly understood Zen-Oh, and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Lord Zen-Oh, you sent him to the wrong place. You sent him to the other Universe Seven."
Universe Seven.
It was impossible to tell whether it was the real Universe Seven or the so-called second Universe Seven.
Luo Fu's figure fell out of a black, two-dimensional plane.
The moment he steadied himself, Luo Fu suddenly frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
After glancing at the scene before him,
Luo Fu suddenly seemed to realize something. He looked around, searching for traces of Cell, whom he had previously defeated.
The next moment, Luo Fu seemed to sense something and suddenly looked into the distance.
A Spirit Bomb suddenly passed over Luo Fu's head, having traveled an unknown distance.
"Cell?"
In the direction from which the Spirit Bomb came, Luo Fu sensed an energy that was similar to Cell's, yet not quite the same.
There was no doubt that Luo Fu could not mistake Cell's energy, after all, Cell had died at his hands.
But now, he actually sensed an energy that was very similar to Cell's, yet not quite the same.
In the Dragon Ball world, everyone's energy is different. Similarity can already explain many things to a certain extent.
Curiosity in his heart made Luo Fu fly straight towards the direction from which the Spirit Bomb had come.
When he got closer to the direction of the Spirit Bomb,
Luo Fu was surprised to find that an unbelievable scene was unfolding here.
On a huge arena,
Cell, who should have died at Luo Fu's hands, was standing there unscathed.
Opposite him were Sun Wukong and Krillin, Luo Fu's two junior brothers. More importantly, Sun Wukong was not a child, but an adult.
In addition, there were several Saiyans present.
Luo Fu didn't hide his arrival, and he naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
While everyone looked at each other in confusion, Luo Fu's mind instantly flashed with inspiration, and he understood that he, like Cell, had probably traveled through time.
No!
No, that's not right. If it was just time travel, why did Sun Wukong and Krillin look at him with a curious yet wary expression?
Whether it was Krillin, whom he hadn't had much contact with, or Sun Wukong, whom Luo Fu had taught well, they should both recognize Luo Fu's energy.
In other words... he had really come to a Universe Seven where he had never appeared.
Vaguely, Luo Fu felt that he had forgotten something.
But soon, there was no time for him to think about what he had forgotten.
Because below, Cell, who had seen him, had already revealed an eager expression.
Staring intently at Luo Fu, Cell's face was full of manic smiles as he said, "It seems that this martial arts tournament of mine has not disappointed me after all. It has actually attracted so many strong people. Come on, show me your power."
Cell's personality clearly had great flaws.
After completing his evolution, this guy didn't kill his opponents, Sun Wukong and the others. Instead, he held a martial arts tournament where he alone would face all challenges.
Clearly, the appearance of Android 17, Android 18, and Cell at the World Martial Arts Tournament in Luo Fu's universe was not accidental.
Cell seemed to have an incomprehensible desire or greed for glory.
Holding a World Martial Arts Tournament and making himself the undisputed number one seemed to be Cell's obsession.
Below, Vegeta, whose forehead was glowing, asked Sun Wukong with a hint of doubt, "Kakarot, is that guy also a human?"
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've never sensed his energy on Earth."
"Could that guy also be an enemy?" Krillin's face instantly became even more desperate.
Although Luo Fu didn't know why he had appeared in this world, he definitely had to kill Cell.
At this moment, Luo Fu seemed to have completely lost the memory of meeting Zen-Oh. In his mind, it seemed that after he killed Cell and was swallowed by the suddenly expanding black shadow, he had directly appeared in this world.
He flew straight down.
Just as Luo Fu was about to begin his battle with Cell,
the scene before him suddenly blurred.
A plump man with light pink skin, a cockscomb hairstyle, and pointed ears somewhat similar to an elf appeared before Luo Fu.
"God of Destruction, why have you appeared in this universe?"
God of Destruction?
Luo Fu paused, pointed at himself, and said, "Are you talking about me? I'm a God of Destruction?"
"That's right," the pink-haired youth said affirmatively. "Strange God of Destruction, I am the East Supreme Kai of Universe Seven. This universe does not welcome your arrival. Please leave this universe."
He had thought the pink-haired guy looked familiar. When the other party introduced himself, Luo Fu was shocked. This was actually the East Supreme Kai of Universe Seven.
Every universe has a Supreme Kai, and the only ones who can be compared to the Supreme Kai are the Gods of Destruction.
Below the East Supreme Kai in front of him were the Kais.
Luo Fu had no way of estimating how powerful the East Supreme Kai who managed Universe Seven was.
But what he couldn't understand even more was why the East Supreme Kai would call him a God of Destruction.
Luo Fu didn't think that he would ever have the strength of a God of Destruction.
Even Super Saiyans are essentially humans, just a branch of humanity.
As for strength, Gods of Destruction can destroy entire universes.
Seeing that Luo Fu hadn't responded,
just as the East Supreme Kai was becoming impatient and preparing to personally expel Luo Fu, this strange God of Destruction, from the universe,
the East Supreme Kai's expression suddenly froze, as if he was communicating with some mysterious being beyond the realm of time.
The next moment, the East Supreme Kai, who had been so determined to drive Luo Fu away, disappeared from Luo Fu's sight.
Blinking, Luo Fu became even more confused, completely unsure of what this East Supreme Kai was doing.
Was he just appearing in front of him to play a joke?
