Zamasu apologized once more, though a vengeful sense of delight flowed within his heart, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably lifting upward.
Soya, you brought this upon yourself!
You come to our Tenth Universe to cause trouble, I'm going to ask our universe's Destroyer to teach you a proper lesson!
I'll make you understand, the Tenth Universe is not a place you can come and go as you please!
"I'll go have a good chat with Soya first, to resolve your grudge." After Gowasu finished speaking, ripples shimmered around his body, and with a flicker, he vanished from the spot.
Watching Gowasu's departing figure, Zamasu's eyes also spun wildly, the little calculations in his heart clicking and clattering like beads.
After waiting for a moment, confirming Gowasu had indeed gone far away.
Zamasu immediately used Instant Transmission, his body transforming into a streak of light, vanishing from the spot in an instant, flying towards Rumshii's Destroyer Realm.
"Swish!"
Zamasu appeared on Planet Rumshii in an instant, his feet landing, kicking up a cloud of dust.
After arriving here, Zamasu looked around, stretching his neck like a giraffe, searching for Rumshii's figure, his eyes filled with urgency.
However, Zamasu did not find Rumshii. Instead, he found the angel Cus, sitting under a tree full of blooming flowers, reading a book.
Cus also saw Zamasu at the first moment, closed her book, and with a flicker appeared beside him, her movements as light as a feather.
"My, my, isn't this Mr. Zamasu?" Cus greeted with a smile, her voice sweet, a trace of curiosity in her eyes, "Have you come to see Lord Rumshii?"
"Hello, Lord Cus." Zamasu hastily bowed, his attitude respectful, not daring to show the slightest neglect, and nodded, "Yes, is Lord Rumshii here?"
"What a coincidence, Lord Rumshii has gone out on business, I don't know when he'll be back." Cus replied calmly.
Zamasu: "..."
Zamasu's mouth twitched, the smile on his face instantly freezing.
Could my luck be this bad?
I finally make it here, and he just happens to be out on business?
This is too much of a coincidence!
"Mr. Zamasu, how did you get injured?" Cus quietly looked at Zamasu, her gaze falling on the wounds on his body, asking lightly.
"It was the Kaioshin of the new universe, Soya, who injured me..." Zamasu immediately seized the opportunity, a look of hatred on his face as he lodged a complaint, portraying himself as a victim, "I was working on my North Kai planet, then he suddenly appeared, didn't say a word and attacked me, even sent people to dismantle my planet. It's really too much!"
Cus did not speak, just calmly watched Zamasu, her eyes deep, as if they could see through his thoughts.
Zamasu felt unnerved under her gaze, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a bit guilty, his eyes involuntarily drifting elsewhere.
Could this woman have seen through something?
That can't be, right? I acted so convincingly.
Silence lingered for a moment, the air seeming to solidify.
"You mean for Lord Rumshii to uphold justice for you, correct?" Cus asked faintly, her tone revealing no emotion.
"Y... yes." Zamasu nodded vigorously, as if clutching a lifeline, "Please, Lord Cus, help me convey this to Lord Rumshii. He must stand up for me!"
"Lord Rumshii will still be some time before he returns. Would Mr. Zamasu like to wait here?" Cus asked calmly, her tone still even.
"Y... yes, I'll wait for him here." Zamasu nodded.
"Well then... Mr. Zamasu, please make yourself at home." After saying this, Cus flickered and disappeared, returning to under that tree, continuing to read her book.
Zamasu: "..."
No... don't go.
At least heal me before you leave!
I remember you can heal. My wounds really hurt.
But Cus had already left. Zamasu could only fret helplessly, watching her leave.
With no other choice, Zamasu had to stay in the Destroyer Realm, found a corner to sit in, patiently waiting for Rumshii's return, praying in his heart that Rumshii would come back quickly.
...
The North Kai's planet.
Vegeta and the others' home-wrecking operation was still ongoing, and intensifying.
The entire planet was a mess. The once beautiful structures had become ruins, flowers, grass, and trees were flattened, beaten beyond recognition by Vegeta and the others, with thick smoke and flames everywhere.
Soya watched from the sidelines, arms crossed, a faint smile on his face, occasionally offering a few comments.
Just wrecking a home, Soya didn't need to intervene for now, Vegeta and the others were more than enough.
Right at that moment, Soya felt the nearby space twist and distort, a familiar energy fluctuation approaching.
"Swish!"
Gowasu used Instant Transmission and arrived, appearing before Soya.
"Ah, isn't this the Tenth Universe's Kaioshin, Lord Gowasu?" Soya immediately stepped forward to greet him friendly, a smile appearing on his face, his tone warm.
"Lord Soya." Gowasu also smiled politely, cupping his hands in salute.
However, upon seeing the smoke-filled, chaotic state of the planet, Gowasu's smile instantly froze on his face, his mouth twitched a few times, his eyes filled with shock.
"Lord Gowasu, your timing is unfortunate. I'm currently renovating Zamasu's house. Please, find a place to sit." Soya greeted with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone.
Gowasu: "..."
Gowasu secretly wiped sweat, lifting a hand to brush non-existent perspiration from his forehead.
You've dismantled his planet back to its bare shell.
And you call this renovating a house?
This is clearly demolishing a house!
"Ahem..." Gowasu coughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere, forcing a strained smile onto his face, "Lord Soya... has Zamasu offended you in some way? If he truly did something wrong, please tell me... there's no grudge that can't be resolved. We are all Kaioshin, why make things so unpleasant?"
"Lord Gowasu, talking like this certainly wakes me up." Soya chuckled, a trace of cunning in his eyes.
Gowasu covered his face.
What do you mean, 'talking like this wakes you up'?
I'm here to resolve the conflict between you.
Soya also had nothing to hide, and immediately told Gowasu all about Zamasu actively seeking revenge, including how Zamasu provoked him and launched a sneak attack, recounting everything truthfully, his tone calm but carrying a thread of anger.
Gowasu's brows immediately furrowed, his expression turning serious, his voice低沉, "Such a thing happened? How could Zamasu do this?"
"Every word is true." Soya nodded, his tone certain, "If he hadn't actively provoked me, would I have nothing better to do than come to the Tenth Universe? I'm very busy, you know? I have many matters to handle."
"This matter is indeed Zamasu's fault. He was too impulsive. I will reprimand him properly!" Gowasu said with a serious expression, a hint of apology in his tone, "I hope Lord Soya can be magnanimous and not stoop to his level."
