"A pillow that lets you train in your dreams?" Goku blinked, his face full of curiosity.
Far away, Levos's heart stirred.
He remembered that in the original story, Beerus had once descended upon Planet Vegeta and demanded something from King Vegeta.
The universe's best pillow.
Back then, Levos had thought it was only a small episode used to introduce Beerus and the wider worldview.
Who would have thought such a minor detail would actually become plot-relevant?
That thing really existed, and it even had such an outrageous function!
Emperor Vegeta's expression shifted between gloom and uncertainty. Slowly, he withdrew his fist.
Although killing intent boiled in his heart, reason told him that now was not the best time to attack.
These two fellows, one with unfathomable strength and one with bizarre abilities while also possessing the miraculous Universe Seed.
Now that his trump cards had been exposed, starting a fight recklessly would involve far too many variables.
Full-Metal Cell Max gave him a way out at exactly the right time.
"If you want to prove your strength, I can make an exception and grant you a slot to enter the tournament midway."
"Hmph!" Emperor Vegeta snorted coldly. "This king has no interest in your childish game of house."
He swept his gaze toward the Crown Prince, who was being protected behind the Earth warriors, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"However, this king will wait until the game ends."
"When the time comes, I will personally clean house. And while I am at it… I will erase these eyesores from this timeline as well."
With that, the dark purple aura coiling around him withdrew into his body.
His figure flashed, and he returned to the spaceship.
Leaning back against his throne, Emperor Vegeta propped his cheek on one hand and closed his eyes, as though everything that had just happened had never occurred.
Seeing this, Beast and Kakarot returned as well, standing at his sides.
The storm settled.
The tense atmosphere slowly dispersed, and everyone secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The pressure brought by Emperor Vegeta had been far too strong, so strong that even Frieza had briefly wondered whether his earlier decision had been a little too rash.
"Ohohoho… It truly is wonderful that the tournament can continue."
Frieza secretly wiped the cold sweat from his brow, then immediately restored his elegant and composed demeanor.
Nearby, the Earth warriors gathered around the Crown Prince.
Goku stepped forward and extended a hand toward the still-panting Crown Prince.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The Crown Prince looked at the pure smile on Goku's face, then looked around at the warriors of different races who were all gazing at him with goodwill.
He hesitated for a moment before finally taking Goku's hand and standing up.
"Hey! You did pretty well back there!" Vegetina also walked over, her expression filled with pride.
The Crown Prince looked at the cold and lonely figure inside the spaceship, then looked at her. After a long silence, he slowly nodded.
"Thank you, Vegetina. It was your words that gave me a new life."
Time Patrol Vegeta also looked at this son from another timeline with a gratified expression.
"That new form of yours is interesting. Keep training, and you definitely won't lose to that bastard father of yours."
Future Trunks asked curiously, "What do you plan to do from now on?"
The Crown Prince remained silent for a long while.
Then he raised a hand and wiped his reddened eyes.
"I miss my younger brothers and sisters…"
The Trunks of this timeline seemed to understand something.
"Are you going back to that timeline?"
The Crown Prince did not deny it. "Many of my younger brothers and sisters saw Father's true nature long before I did…"
"I have to go back and atone to them."
"The Saiyan Empire should not continue to exist either…"
Everyone instantly understood what the Crown Prince intended to do.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
With the Crown Prince's current strength, returning to his original timeline would offer him almost no hope of overthrowing Emperor Vegeta's rule.
But no one stopped him, and no one tried to persuade him otherwise.
This was the decision the Crown Prince had already made.
It was also the belief he would carry for the rest of his life…
The Crown Prince silently walked to the side of the Earth warriors' camp and stood in an inconspicuous position.
On the other side.
The Broly from Emperor Vegeta's timeline, after his emotions calmed, had eyes filled with confusion and pain.
He had been deceived, used, and made to kill his own father with his own hands…
The truth was like blade after blade, cutting his spirit into pieces.
He was like a lost child, curled in place, not knowing what to do.
Just then, a figure cautiously approached him.
It was Paragus.
His face was now filled with fatherly radiance and sorrow.
"My child…" Paragus's voice was full of grief and pity. "Do you see it now? This is the true face of the Vegeta royal family! This is how they toy with people's hearts and treat all Saiyans as tools!"
Broly raised his head. His hollow eyes looked at this father who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Paragus reached out to him.
"Only I am your true family."
After hearing the word family, Broly, whose spirit was already on the verge of collapse, finally had a faint light rekindle in his eyes.
He looked at Paragus's outstretched hand and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he slowly took it.
Seeing this, Paragus was ecstatic!
It worked!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he helped Broly up from the ground and let him stand at his side.
One on the left.
One on the right.
Two Brolys!
One was an immortal Broly with limitless potential, capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan 4 stacked with Beast form.
The other was this timeline's strongest Saiyan, who had mastered Full-Power Ultra Ego and possessed strength far beyond a God of Destruction.
Paragus felt the terrifying auras coming from both sides, powerful enough to make the stars tremble, and his body quivered from extreme excitement.
He looked around the entire arena with great satisfaction.
Hearts, Fu, Emperor Vegeta…
Those people were indeed strong.
But now, he held two trump cards!
With two Brolys under him, he already had the capital to contend with any faction!
Of course, merely contending with them was not enough.
Greed and fanaticism flashed in his eyes.
If…
If he could make these two Brolys fuse…
His gaze drifted unconsciously toward Time Patrol Goku and Time Patrol Vegeta.
Those earrings that could make people fuse!
As long as he obtained them, he could create the strongest warrior in the universe!
A single Broly already possessed such terrifying power.
If these two Brolys from different timelines, both standing at terrifying levels, were to fuse…
What kind of ultimate warrior would be born?
At that time, everyone would crawl beneath his feet!
Thinking of this, his ambition spread wildly like ignited weeds.
A plan immediately began taking shape in his mind.
"Gulp…"
After formulating his plan, he could not help swallowing.
"I have it. Haha… hahahahahaha!"
At this moment, Paragus was so triumphant that he could no longer suppress the wild joy in his heart.
"King Vegeta… Frieza… Zeno…"
"Your eras will all pass!"
"This universe will eventually be ruled by me, Paragus!"
He had already begun imagining the magnificent sight of himself completely annexing Vegeta's Saiyan Empire.
When the time came, he would definitely trample that fake emperor beneath his feet!
On the other side.
Frieza glanced at Levos and noticed that the latter was looking at him with a faint, knowing smile.
Frieza suddenly realized something. His heart stirred, and he immediately summoned his exclusive height panel.
Successfully invited Cooler to temporarily support the Earth faction!
Additional reward obtained: 0.01 cm, instant redemption
Additional reward obtained: +1 lottery draw
Just as expected, his effort had not been wasted!
He had merely stepped forward and said a few nice words, yet he had received two rewards!
Frieza's mood instantly became indescribably pleasant.
More importantly, this reward had not cost him anything!
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Wonderful!
Frieza immediately redeemed the 0.01 cm height increase.
Target: Frieza
Real-time height: 160.92335233 cm
Looking at the real-time height data that had risen slightly, Frieza felt utterly delighted.
This time, however, he forcibly held back the urge to laugh out loud.
Instead, he cautiously looked at the newly appeared support rules on the panel.
New Module: Support System
Support Rule 1: Successfully inviting a powerful individual from another force to join the Earth faction in resisting an enemy grants one free lottery draw.
Support Rule 2: If the invited individual successfully joins Earth citizenship, you will continuously receive instant-redeemable height reward feedback according to their future contributions to Earth.
Frieza's mind began operating at high speed.
As long as he pulled someone over to Earth's side, there were benefits?
And if that person joined Earth citizenship, he could even receive dividends?
Frieza's first thought was to trick Cooler and King Cold into coming to Earth too.
Let those two work for Earth while he lay back and grew taller!
And…
The harder they worked, the faster he would grow!
Ohohoho…
Just imagining that scene already made Frieza so excited that his eyes turned red!
Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant!
But that thought lasted less than a second before he quickly killed it.
No!
This was a trap!
Frieza saw through it instantly. That treacherous Levos was clearly trying to use this method to bind his entire family firmly to Earth's war chariot!
That way, Frieza would willingly protect Earth and strengthen Earth's forces!
He broke out in a cold sweat.
How dangerous!
He had almost fallen for it!
How could he, the dignified Emperor of the Universe, do something so foolish as preparing a wedding dress for someone else?
After figuring this out, Frieza decided to temporarily ignore the support system.
The priority was to use this free lottery draw!
What he desired most right now was that final permission key!
Frieza made up his mind. As long as he successfully redeemed that 15 cm height increase, he would stop.
No matter how great the temptation, he would never sink any deeper.
"Draw," Frieza silently commanded in his heart.
The height panel instantly changed, and the enormous wheel appeared again.
Frieza's eyes locked firmly onto the slots marked with permission key rewards.
Please!
It had to land!
He did not need many.
Just one was enough!
The wheel spun rapidly, the pointer sweeping past one reward after another that made his heart tremble.
Frieza's heart rose into his throat.
He even had the illusion that the wheel's speed had slowed down, and every movement of the pointer felt like it was cutting at his nerves.
Finally, the wheel spun slower and slower.
In the end, under Frieza's almost breathless stare, the pointer stopped firmly on the slot he had dreamed of!
Congratulations! You have obtained "Odebyo's Permission Key" x1!
Current amount: 20/20!
Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the "15 cm Height Increase Permission"!
It worked!
It really worked!
Frieza's body trembled slightly.
He was just about to laugh out loud, but forcibly held it back.
No!
Not yet!
Frieza clenched his teeth and tightened his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.
With that malicious dragon Odebyo's usual behavior, things absolutely could not be this simple!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart with unprecedented caution, Frieza began carefully checking every corner of the height panel, word by word.
15 cm Height Increase Permission: Unlocked
Status: Awaiting Redemption
That was it?
It was that simple?
Frieza refused to believe it. He used his thoughts to enlarge and shrink the panel, checking it over and over again. He did not even let the punctuation marks go.
There were no hidden clauses.
No additional conditions.
It seemed…
As long as he pressed the redemption button, he really could instantly obtain the 15 cm height reward!
Had he been overthinking things?
Perhaps his previous efforts had moved the dragon Odebyo. Or maybe that fellow Levos had finally discovered his conscience and decided to stop tormenting him?
After repeatedly confirming that nothing was wrong, Frieza's doubts gradually faded.
He turned to look at Levos in the distance, and the other party gave him an approving smile.
At that moment, Frieza's heart was instantly filled with emotion.
"Hmph! Mr. Levos has treated this king reasonably well after all…"
Immediately afterward, a violent surge of ecstasy rose within him!
Finally!
This king can finally laugh!
"Ohohohohohohohoho!"
A piercing, demonic laugh filled with endless delight and arrogance suddenly echoed throughout the entire arena.
The sudden laughter startled everyone.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Frieza standing with his chest puffed out, laughing wildly toward the sky. His smug, unrestrained appearance made it seem as though he had already conquered the entire world.
"Has Frieza… gone insane?" Tien looked completely bewildered.
"Frieza… looks really happy," Goku said, scratching his head in confusion.
Everyone had already grown used to Frieza's frequent sudden episodes today.
But this time, his reaction was simply too exaggerated.
The others no longer cared about talking to the Crown Prince and began asking what had happened.
"Frieza, what exactly happened to make you laugh this happily?" Time Patrol Vegeta finally could not help asking. Seeing Frieza so happy felt even worse than taking a loss himself.
"Can you stop laughing? You're honestly kind of scary like this…" Krillin muttered quietly, shrinking his neck.
"How strange. Frieza, what are you so excited about?" Time Patrol Goku was completely baffled.
Cooler silently moved two steps to the side, looking at his younger brother as if he were an idiot. His face clearly said, I do not know this person.
Even the Gods of Destruction exchanged looks, unable to understand what kind of madness had seized Frieza this time.
