"You know, the acting Kaioshin from your universe isn't all that impressive," Rumssi sighed.
"Hmph, don't get cocky. He was just careless," Meemee huffed. "And besides, that guy named Dal got lucky."
Rumssi chuckled.
Was it truly just luck?
Vegeta simply didn't want to win too quickly.
How else would he trick you later?
"Just you watch, in a little while that guy Dal will know how formidable Tespa truly is!" Meemee grumbled.
And over the next ten-odd minutes.
Vegeta engaged Tespa in a prolonged fight.
Vegeta wasn't in a hurry to win.
If he defeated Tespa too easily, what fun would there be later?
After about 20 minutes.
Vegeta finally knocked Tespa to the ground.
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
Vegeta panted heavily, appearing to be greatly fatigued.
"Do you surrender?" Vegeta asked, hands still in his pockets, his foot pressing down on Tespa's face.
Tespa gritted his teeth, trying to stand.
Vegeta applied more force with his foot.
"Bang!"
Tespa was once again pinned to the ground by Vegeta.
Tespa trembled with rage.
Why does this guy, with his hands in his pockets, remind me so much of that guy named Vegeta?
Rumssi wiped sweat from his brow on the sidelines.
Big brother... can we please stop putting your hands in your pockets?
Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you're Vegeta?
Rumssi stole a glance at Meemee.
Fortunately, judging by Meemee's expression, he didn't seem to know Vegeta's true identity.
Wahahaha... this idiot.
You didn't even recognize Vegeta with such an obvious display of putting his hands in his pockets?
Uh... I guess I didn't recognize him before either.
And I spent 12 years with him day in and day out...
"Bang!"
Vegeta unleashed a powerful kick, sending Tespa flying high into the air.
"Swish!"
Vegeta's body flickered, appearing directly above Tespa.
"Bang!"
Then, with another kick, Vegeta sent Tespa plummeting down from the sky.
"Rumble!"
Tespa crashed heavily onto the ground of the Kaioshin Realm, leaving a large crater and sinking deep into it.
"What a shame. I didn't expect the acting Kaioshin from your universe to be so skilled," Kai said with a sigh.
"N-no... it's nothing..." Gowasu chuckled dryly.
This isn't right.
With Dal's strength, he should have easily defeated this rabbit.
Why did he fight for so long?
And why did it seem so difficult?
Although he won.
It felt like a hard-fought victory.
Seeing Tespa beaten like that.
Meemee's heart sank.
"5000 years, 5000 years!" Rumssi roared with laughter, patting Meemee's shoulder.
Meemee felt like dying.
This is just...
And also...
Why does this guy named Dal fight so much like that kid Vegeta?
"What's his relationship with Vegeta?" Meemee asked, unwilling to give up.
"Uh, not much of a relationship," Rumssi spouted nonsense. "Dal is Vegeta's distant cousin. Vegeta trained with him for a while before I took him away."
"You... what did you say?" Meemee was stunned.
Gowasu, standing nearby, was also momentarily dumbfounded, looking at Rumssi with confusion.
Didn't you say he was his older brother before?
Now he's a distant cousin?
What is Lord Rumssi doing?
"No wonder their fighting styles are so similar," Meemee gritted his teeth.
So they were relatives.
However, Meemee genuinely couldn't connect the Vegeta before him with the current one.
They looked completely different.
Their auras had changed.
His voice had become more mature.
Before, Vegeta barely reached Kusu's thigh.
Vegeta usually looked up at Kusu, admiring the beautiful scenery.
From that angle, the scenery was quite unique.
Now Vegeta had to look down at Kusu.
Because Kusu was short, Vegeta, after turning into a Super Saiyan 4, was a head taller than Kusu.
Looking down was also acceptable...
"Looking at the mountains from the side and from the front, they appear different from near and far, high and low."
So whether looking down or up, any view of Kusu had a different flavor.
"5000 years, 5000 years!" Rumssi excitedly shook his elephant trunk.
Meemee felt like dying.
Why did I have to do this?
Why did I agree to bet with him?
Now I've lost another 5000 years.
However, Meemee felt a little regretful.
Seeing that guy named Dal panting like that...
I feel like if Tespa had pushed a little harder, he might have won.
What a shame!
"Bang!"
Vegeta stomped his foot, shaking Tespa out of the large pit.
"Slap!"
Vegeta grabbed Tespa by the collar.
"Tell me, do you surrender?" Vegeta roared.
"I... I surrender..." Tespa nodded.
I can't take it anymore!
If this continues, I'll die.
This guy is too strong.
But he's also exhausted.
I should just surrender quickly.
I think if we fought again, I might be able to win.
"Still haven't surrendered?" Vegeta backhanded Tespa across the face.
Several of Tespa's teeth were knocked out.
You jerk...
I said I surrender.
"Bang!"
Vegeta slapped him again, on the other side of Tespa's face.
"Enough!" Meemee gritted his teeth.
Vegeta casually tossed Tespa to the ground, then turned and glanced at Meemee.
"Hmph, nothing special. I thought he was much more powerful," Vegeta scoffed.
Meemee remained silent, his expression growing colder.
"Hey, you, the Elephant God of Destruction, didn't you say the Kaioshin from other universes were powerful? How come this one is so weak?" Vegeta sneered.
"You're getting arrogant again!" Rumssi said with a dark expression.
"It's not me being arrogant, it's them being too weak!" Vegeta grumbled. " Hurry up and find me an acting God of Destruction to spar with!"
"Forget it. A mere acting Kaioshin challenging an acting God of Destruction?" Rumssi shouted angrily. "Shut up! Don't you understand the principle of knowing when to quit?"
Meemee's eyes lit up.
This guy wants to challenge an acting God of Destruction?
This is a good opportunity.
Maybe I can manipulate him into succeeding.
If you challenge an acting God of Destruction... you'll surely be beaten black and blue.
You, a mere acting Kaioshin, are boasting so wildly.
I can work with this.
