Zeno-sama's Palace.
The Left Guard and Right Guard were playing with Zeno-sama.
It was worth mentioning that ever since Majin Buu had fallen asleep, his clone had stopped responding as well and entered the same dormant state.
Zeno-sama had already lost interest in Majin Buu, so he erased the clone without the slightest hesitation.
After all, he had been playing that horse-riding game for years. Even Zeno-sama was starting to find it boring.
Now, Zeno-sama was playing a new game: shooting down planes.
Literally shooting down planes.
He created planes in the sky, and the planes swooped down while firing bullets.
Zeno-sama waved his little hand and erased them one by one.
Whenever he could not keep up, he simply waved his hand once and erased all the planes at once.
The two guards had long since gotten used to this.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the Right Guard's mind.
The Right Guard quickly recognized it. Ken had contacted him.
"What is it?" the Left Guard asked.
"It's Ken," the Right Guard replied.
"What does he want from you?" The Left Guard froze.
"He's obviously itching for a fight and wants to challenge me!" the Right Guard said with a laugh. "Perfect. I've been wanting to give him a proper beating too!"
"Don't forget how badly you lost last time," the Left Guard said, shaking his head.
"I haven't been idle all these years. I trained seriously." The Right Guard smiled proudly. "I've already reached level 73. Even if he transforms into a Super Angel, he can only match my level at most. But when it comes to combat skill and everything else, I'm far beyond him. I don't see myself losing."
"You're level 73? How did you level up that fast? I'm only level 74, and I only went up by one." The Left Guard was a little surprised.
"I have to admit, my last battle with Ken gave me a lot of insight, and my strength improved again," the Right Guard said with a smile.
"So if you fight him again, you might level up again in a few more years," the Left Guard said thoughtfully.
"That's exactly what I want," the Right Guard said with a nod.
"Ask him what he wants first," the Left Guard suggested.
The Right Guard did not hesitate any longer and immediately connected with Ken.
"Little Righty, long time no see. How have you been?" Ken's voice traveled over from a distant region.
The Right Guard's face darkened.
Little Righty?
Call your own family that.
This brat has no respect for me at all.
"I have nothing to say to you!" the Right Guard snorted.
"Is Lefty there?" Ken asked.
The Left Guard was confused.
The Right Guard fell silent.
"If you want, contact him yourself!" the Right Guard snapped.
"You're right." As soon as Ken said that, his voice vanished and shifted into the Left Guard's mind.
The Right Guard felt awful all over.
You did that on purpose.
You really didn't give me any face!
I'm a great guard!
The Left Guard froze for a moment, then looked at the Right Guard in surprise.
At the same time, Ken's voice rang out in the Left Guard's mind.
"Little Lefty, come out and play," Ken called.
The Left Guard went silent.
"Get lost!" the Left Guard snapped.
Who are you calling Little Lefty?
And you want me to come out and play?
Do you have any idea how busy I am?
I'm Zeno-sama's guard. How could I abandon my post whenever I feel like it?
You're an Angel with nothing to do all day, and you still have the nerve to call me out?
The Left Guard was so furious that smoke was practically coming out of his nose.
Of course, he understood exactly why Ken had contacted him.
You just want to challenge us, don't you?
"What kind of tone is that?" Ken narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice turned a little colder.
"You can provoke Righty, but you shouldn't have provoked me," the Left Guard snorted.
"Mhm, mhm." Ken nodded repeatedly.
The Left Guard's face darkened again.
That "mhm, mhm" was a little too much.
"You can provoke Righty alone, and you can provoke me alone. But you should never provoke both of us at the same time," the Left Guard added.
"What happens if I provoke both of you?" Ken asked with interest.
"Just wait. We'll ask for leave right away. Then you'll find out what happens." The Left Guard snorted and waved his hand, cutting off the connection with Ken.
Ken had no intention of forcing the connection again for the moment.
If he wanted to contact the Left Guard now, he still could.
Then Ken held his scepter and looked at the two guards through the crystal ball on top, quietly watching them.
"Lefty, it's been a long time since I last saw you this angry," the Right Guard said seriously.
"It's time to teach that trainee Angel a proper lesson." The Left Guard's eyes gleamed as he snorted. "Does he really think we guards are easy targets?"
"Lefty, when are we leaving?" the Right Guard asked excitedly. "It's been ages since the two of us acted together."
"I'll go ask for leave." The Left Guard glanced toward Zeno-sama, who was still shooting down planes in the distance.
"I wonder if Zeno-sama will approve it," the Right Guard muttered.
"It should be fine," the Left Guard said after a moment of thought. "Besides, this is a good opportunity. The Grand Priest is rather protective of his own people. While he's still recovering, we can give that little Angel a harsh beating."
"You're right. I think so too," the Right Guard said with a nod.
The Left Guard walked toward Zeno-sama.
Zeno-sama kept waving his little hand, erasing bomber after bomber, along with some of their bombs.
The Left Guard stepped forward and bowed.
"What is it?" Zeno-sama asked while waving his hand.
"Zeno-sama, Ken has challenged the two of us," the Left Guard said truthfully.
"Oh? Looks like that boy has gotten stronger again." Zeno-sama turned his head and glanced at the Left Guard.
"He probably has," the Left Guard said with a nod.
"Go, then. The two of you should teach him a proper lesson. Show him there are always heavens beyond heavens and gods above gods." Zeno-sama did not object. On the contrary, he strongly approved of the two guards going together to teach Ken a lesson.
"Thank you, Zeno-sama." The Left Guard bowed, then asked, "Would Zeno-sama like to watch the battle?"
"No. I'm staying here to shoot down planes." Zeno-sama shook his head. He had no interest in their fight.
I can't even keep up with how fast you fight.
I'd rather not go embarrass myself.
Staying here and shooting down planes is much better.
While Zeno-sama was thinking that, he accidentally lost focus, and a missile came hurtling down from the sky.
Zeno-sama had no time to wave it away.
At the critical moment, the Left Guard leapt into the air, about to smash the missile apart with one punch.
"Hey, I'll do it myself," Zeno-sama ordered.
The Left Guard looked back at Zeno-sama and had no choice but to pull back the hand he had already swung out.
The missile roared straight toward Zeno-sama below.
Zeno-sama held his breath, focused, and waved his little hand again.
Swish!
The missile disappeared less than a centimeter away from Zeno-sama.
"Phew… that was close," Zeno-sama said, letting out a small breath of relief.
The Left Guard fell silent.
There are more.
There are still planes behind it.
Boom!
Just as Zeno-sama relaxed, a plane plummeted from the sky and exploded beside him.
Then came the second.
Soon, dense clusters of planes rained down from above.
Rumble!
Explosions kept erupting around Zeno-sama, roaring one after another.
The Left Guard and Right Guard looked at each other, neither knowing how to save the situation.
The explosions continued for a full minute.
Swish!
The Grand Priest flew over from afar and lightly waved his scepter, completely erasing the explosions.
"Greetings, Grand Priest."
The two guards immediately bowed.
The Grand Priest said nothing. He simply turned his gaze toward Zeno-sama.
Zeno-sama was now covered in soot, and his eyes looked a little dazed.
"Is Zeno-sama all right?" the Grand Priest asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Zeno-sama shook his head, then looked at the Grand Priest excitedly. "Hey, are you better now?"
"Not yet. I still need to recover for a while longer," the Grand Priest said, gently shaking his head.
"Then hurry and go rest," Zeno-sama said, waving his hand.
The Grand Priest said no more and instantly left.
"What are you two still standing here for? Go do what you want to do," Zeno-sama instructed the two guards with a wave.
The Left Guard and Right Guard bowed again. After rising, they no longer hesitated and immediately left the palace, flying at high speed toward Universe 7.
"What did the two guards say?" Merus asked.
"They're flying toward Universe 7 right now," Ken said with a smile, looking through the crystal ball on his scepter.
"How long will it take them to get here?" Merus's eyes shifted slightly.
"From the palace to here, even with their speed, it should take about a day," Ken said thoughtfully.
"True. Even Whis-nii would need two or three days to fly there," Merus said with a nod. "It would take me even longer to reach Zeno-sama's Palace."
"I could probably get there in less than a day," Ken said, touching his nose before adding, "With my current strength."
Merus wanted to say something.
Can you stop showing off?
It's just the two of us here.
Showing off in front of me like this hurts, you know.
"We can only wait," Merus suggested.
"Why wait? Let's find somewhere to have a good meal instead of deliberately waiting for them." Ken smiled.
Merus felt Ken made perfect sense.
Right. Why deliberately wait for the two guards?
Finding somewhere to have a good meal sounded much more meaningful.
"I'll have the kitchen prepare a feast for us," Merus said, pointing toward the kitchen.
"Let's eat somewhere else. The cooking here at Galactic Patrol Headquarters is only so-so," Ken said, shaking his head.
"Back on Earth?" Merus asked.
"I've eaten plenty of Earth food already. Do you have any good places to recommend?" Ken asked.
"I honestly don't have anywhere suitable to recommend." Merus gently shook his head and thought in silence. "If nothing else works, we could go ask Whis-nii. Maybe he knows somewhere with better food."
"Let's just wander around." Ken was speechless.
Ask Whis? Ask him to recommend food?
Ken felt Whis was extremely unreliable.
What food could Whis possibly recommend?
As an Angel, Whis probably believed the best food was on Earth.
Of course, that would be later.
The current Whis still had no idea that Earth was such an outstanding food planet.
Besides, Earth had already been moved to Universe 6.
"I'll follow your lead. I happen to have nothing to do lately anyway," Merus agreed readily.
"Let's go." Ken stepped forward and opened the window.
The two flew out through the window and slowly traveled through space.
They searched for more than half an hour.
Ken and Merus found nothing.
"Ken… this is basically looking for a needle in a haystack…" Merus said helplessly.
I thought you had an actual destination.
Turns out you're just randomly searching too.
"I've got it. Broly has been training outside all these years. He should know plenty of good food planets," Ken suddenly said, thinking of Broly.
"Hurry and contact Broly," Merus said, his eyes lighting up as well.
Ken held his scepter and immediately contacted Broly through the crystal ball.
"Ken? Are you finally out of seclusion?" Broly froze, his voice carrying a trace of pleasant surprise.
"I am." Ken smiled and nodded.
"I'll come be your sword!" Broly said, suddenly excited.
"No need," Ken refused. "I contacted you because I wanted to ask whether you've come across any good food planets during your travels. Recommend one to me and Merus."
"Ai and I really did find a food planet. It's in Universe 12, and it's called Planet Nilala," Broly said, scratching his head.
"Good. Got it." Ken created another projection through the crystal ball on his scepter.
The projection quickly showed the scene on Planet Nilala.
Nilala was a pale-yellow planet.
Ken gradually enlarged the image, and soon, he could clearly see the people on the planet.
The moment he saw them, Ken felt a little embarrassed. He even found it hard to look away.
Merus quietly wiped sweat from his brow, his face turning red.
"This is…" Merus muttered, sounding a little unnatural.
The projection Ken displayed through his scepter showed one gorgeous woman after another, each with an incredible figure.
The women wore very little clothing.
No, to be precise, their clothes were made of leaves.
The leaves covered the important parts of their bodies.
However, from the angle of Ken's projection, the half-hidden view made it very hard not to wonder what was underneath.
On top of that, the beautiful women on the planet were cooking while laughing and playing around.
The scene made Ken instinctively watch more closely.
He could even smell the unique aroma of the food they were cooking despite being several universes away.
Merus, on the other hand, was too embarrassed to look properly.
Ken, this is going too far. Do you really think it's appropriate to stare at them like that?
"Not bad, right?" Broly said with a grin.
"Not bad." Ken nodded in satisfaction.
"Do you need me to go with you?" Broly asked.
"No. I'll go by myself," Ken replied.
"Okay." Broly nodded.
Merus fell silent.
So now you're not taking me?
"Anything else happen in the past few years?" Ken asked.
"Nothing major," Broly said, shaking his head.
"That's all for now." Ken ended the call.
Then he glanced at Merus beside him.
"Are you going to that planet to enjoy the food?" Merus asked. "You're not planning to take me?"
"You really want to go?" Ken asked with a smile.
"Going to take a look… wouldn't be impossible…" Merus lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Merus, you're an Angel. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Ken laughed and patted Merus on the shoulder.
Merus fell silent.
That actually makes sense.
Right. I'm an Angel.
And even if I'm an angel, It's perfectly normal to feel something when I see beautiful girls.
"Fine. I was planning to go alone, but since you insist, I'll take you along for some fun." After thinking it over, Ken decided to bring Merus with him.
Ken had sharply noticed just now that the entire Planet Nilala only had women. There did not seem to be any men.
Moreover, the women on the planet were all very beautiful. Their looks were basically all above ninety.
As for how the women on the planet reproduced… Ken would need to investigate that slowly.
Of course, with Ken's current abilities, it would be easy to investigate even from several universes away.
But if he figured it out that easily, Ken felt it would be too unrewarding.
An on-site investigation suited him better.
"Then let's go." Ken made an inviting gesture toward Merus.
"Okay…" Merus nodded with a red face.
The two turned into streams of light as brilliant as stars and flew rapidly through space toward Universe 12.
"By the way, Merus, haven't you seen similar planets before?" Ken asked, turning to him.
"I have, but I've never seen a planet like Nilala, where everyone is beautiful and their clothing is so… like that," Merus said, unable to find the right words.
"Are you excited?" Ken asked with a grin.
Merus fell silent.
Why does this feel like I'm going with you to do something improper?
"Hey, Merus, you don't need to fly that fast," Ken suddenly said.
Merus immediately slowed down.
"Looks like you're in a hurry," Ken said with a strange smile.
Merus scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I suddenly noticed a spaceship over there. It looks a little familiar." Ken said this to Merus while pointing toward a spaceship in the distant starry sky.
"Should we go take a look?" Merus was slightly startled and looked far off in the direction Ken was pointing.
A rather oddly shaped spaceship, somewhat like a rocket, was traveling rapidly through space.
However, the technology behind the ship looked rather outdated, so it was not flying very fast.
Merus was not particularly interested in the spaceship.
There were countless spaceships in the universe. There was no need to inspect them one by one, right?
Looking at beautiful women sounded much better.
Besides, our flying speed is way faster than that spaceship.
"Let's take a look. I sense a strange energy fluctuation… inside that spaceship," Ken said thoughtfully.
"A strange energy fluctuation?" Merus froze, not really understanding what Ken meant.
"Yes. It doesn't feel like the energy of a normal person, and it doesn't feel like a god's either," Ken replied.
"Then who could it be?" Merus asked, confused.
"We'll know once we check," Ken said.
Merus agreed.
The two flew toward the spaceship.
Inside the spaceship were Babidi, Dabura, and the others.
It even included Zat, the younger brother of the Demon Supreme Kai.
The spaceship was heading toward Earth.
After traveling through space for a long time, Babidi's spaceship had finally reached the galaxy where Earth was located.
"We're finally almost at Earth!" Babidi was beyond excited as he used the computer to calculate their exact arrival time.
"Babidi-sama, we still have three days to go…" Dabura said after looking from the side.
"Three days! Only three days left! Wonderful!" Babidi clenched his fists tightly, tears of excitement streaming down his face.
My Buu is finally going to awaken!
Zat stood nearby with his arms folded, saying nothing.
For Zat, the main purpose of this trip was to visit the mortal world and learn about it.
He wanted to see how this world differed from the Demon Realm.
After this period of observation, Zat felt that the world he was in now was truly quite fascinating.
It was not as dull and boring as the Demon Realm.
Zat had already made up his mind. Once he returned to the Demon Realm, he would tell his brother to find a way to occupy this world as soon as possible.
Thud!
At that moment, the spaceship shook violently and suddenly stopped in space.
Caught off guard, Babidi plunged headfirst into Zat's crotch.
Zat fell silent.
Dabura looked at them from the side.
That pose is a little strange.
Babidi rose from beneath Zat with a dark expression and gritted his teeth. "Who is controlling the spaceship? Bring him here right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pui Pui came in from outside with a panicked look.
"Pui Pui, why did you suddenly stop the spaceship?" Babidi asked coldly.
"Babidi-sama… there are two people outside," Pui Pui quickly answered.
"There are two people outside?" Babidi froze slightly, unable to make sense of it for a moment.
"Were they the ones who stopped the spaceship?" Dabura asked.
"Yes." Pui Pui nodded.
"They're probably mortals wandering through space," Zat said. "Maybe they want to hitch a ride."
Babidi glanced at Zat.
Hitch a ride in space?
You really know how to talk.
Who hitches rides in space?
"Let's see who they are first!" Babidi was so angry his teeth itched. "Those two bastards delayed my schedule. I won't spare them!"
As he spoke, Babidi walked up to a magic orb and placed both hands over it, chanting under his breath.
Hiss…
Then something happened that surprised Babidi.
Static flickered across the magic orb, and it did not show the two people's faces.
"How strange… Is this thing broken?" Babidi slapped the magic orb and muttered, "This is the magic orb my father left me. It can show places very far away! Why would it break at such a critical moment? Damn it. Damn it all!"
