"Hand him over to me!"
Even with the mask, the sinister tone suggested the fierce expression hidden beneath the Masked Man's disguise.
"Hydreigon! Dark Pulse!"
A Dark Pulse attack came from the side, assaulting the Delibird out of nowhere.
The Masked Man turned to look.
It was the Unova's pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Hydreigon.
And standing on its back was... Ghetsis, the head of the Team Plasma's Seven Sages!
"Hmph!"
The Masked Man pulled open his black robe, revealing a Swinub held in his arms.
Icy Wind!
A freezing gust of wind, dotted with white sparkles, was exhaled.
As if time had stopped, it halted the incoming Dark Pulse in mid-air.
Meanwhile, the Delibird's short hands had already grabbed Goh's only remaining right hand, trying to pull him away from Beedrill.
For a moment, the two were locked in a tug-of-war.
Beedrill: "Win!"
Delibird: "Squeak!"
The two Pokémon, whose mortal bodies rivaled the gods, simultaneously emitted fierce threatening sounds.
Even without a Meowth translator, one could guess what they were saying, which was… Let the f*ck go!
"Aaaaahhhh-"
Goh, being used as a rope in the tug-of-war, let out an exaggerated wail.
Some of the more timid viewers had already turned their heads away.
Like Yukino.
'It was too terrifying, too cruel.'
'Just to have a wish granted, could people really do something so brutal?'
Compared to her two daughters, Mrs. Yukinoshita appeared very calm, saying faintly:
"If he wants to target someone, he doesn't need to lift a finger himself."
In truth, Mrs. Yukinoshita knew that Lott held no hostility towards the Yukinoshita Family, or rather, never considered their family worth his attention from the start.
Otherwise, if Lott showed even the slightest dissatisfaction with the Yukinoshita Family-
His underlings would have swarmed in and devoured the Yukinoshita Family!
But the problem wasn't that Lott wanted to deal with the Yukinoshita Family, it was that the Yukinoshita Family needed Lott!
…
"Wasting time!"
On the battlefield on the Planet Pokémon, the Masked Man cursed under his breath, having Swinub form an ice blade on his right hand.
"That man said dead is fine too!"
The Masked Man threw the ice blade and it struck Goh directly in the throat!
The female fighters of the Women Fighters Team from the {lanet King of Fighters, gathered together watching the stream, covered their mouths in shock.
Their strength on their own planet wasn't actually top-tier-
But they had seen their share of big scenes.
Even so, they were badly frightened.
Giovanni, the Masked Man, and these guys were playing for keeps.
"Mine!!!"
Giovanni, half a step into the Master level, and the Masked Man, a true Master, charged out simultaneously.
Each grabbed one side.
They physically tore the limbless body in half!
The Masked Man held the head!
Giovanni held the torso!
For a moment, both the scene and the Universe Chat Room fell into an eerie silence.
'How... how does this count?'
The current situation was-
Goh's body was divided into seven parts.
The left hand was with Diancie.
The left foot was with Lysandre.
The right hand, after being torn off, fell into the sea and was just picked up by Ghetsis.
The right foot landed on the Red Gyarados and was picked up by Lance.
The head was in the Masked Man's hands.
And the upper and lower body, torn in two, were skewered on Giovanni's Beedrill's stingers.
At this moment, even Lott, who was at the Loyalty Plaza in Kitakami directing Ogerpon against Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti, was rendered speechless.
There weren't many things that could silence the current Lott.
This was one of them.
'Good grief.'
'What is this, the Version Pokémon of Dragon Ball?'
'The Seven-Part Goh?'
'Gather the seven fragments of Goh's body to summon me and have one wish granted?'
"Eep~"
Just as Lott was left speechless by the live stream's developments, Ogerpon suddenly hopped over to Lott-
Proudly showing off the three masks she had recovered right in front of him.
"Yosh~ So good, so good~"
Lott briefly snapped out of it, bent down, and patted Ogerpon's ponkan-like face in encouragement.
"Eep eep eep!"
Ogerpon excitedly danced around.
'Hypocrite!'
Reshiram and Mew cursed in unison.
…
Far away, on the sea hundreds of miles off.
Diancie arrived late to find the battle seemed to be over.
The scene was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
And everyone present, like himself, was holding a piece of the 'holy relic'.
Diancie blinked a couple of times.
'Uh... this situation is a bit hard to predict?'
Finally, it was Giovanni who broke the silence first.
He opened the chat.
[Giovanni: @Lott, Hey, about that... how does this situation count?]
It wasn't just Lott who was stumped.
The top powerhouses from the Planet Pokémon on the scene felt the same.
Even if you brought Rayquaza or Eternatus here, they'd probably be confused for a while.
Damn, split into seven pieces, and there's only one wish.
So how does it work now?
Lott removed his hand from Ogerpon's head, thought for a moment, and replied:
[Whoever gets here first gets the wish.]
Originally, Lott wanted to say whoever collects all seven 'fragments' can come.
But he found that idea too disgusting, so he changed the method.
It's like after summoning Shenron, whoever states their wish first gets it granted.
To be honest, this was a bit cheap.
Everyone thought the person who collected the seven Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron would be the one qualified to make a wish-
Turns out, after Shenron appears, the fastest one gets to wish.
After seeing Lott's answer in the chat, Rose was the first to @Diancie.
[Diancie! Hurry!]
Diancie quickly reacted, mounting his Charizard and flying towards Kitakami.
"Get out of the way!"
Ghetsis also reacted, quickly directing his Hydreigon to fly towards Kitakami while waving his cane, instructing Hydreigon to attack Diancie's Charizard.
In an instant, the battle for the items turned into a race.
But some didn't play by the rules.
Someone with a relatively upright character like Diancie would only follow the rules honestly.
But people like Ghetsis and Giovanni wouldn't.
Why the hell would I race you? If I take out all of you people, then the wish is mine, right?
So... the fight continues!
…
[Bulma: @Lott, Although I'm sorry to interrupt your honeymoon with high school girls, I must remind you that the 1000x gravity training room you asked me to make is finished.]
Just as Lott was watching the spectacle with his entourage, the message from Bulma immediately caught his attention.
[Lott: As expected of the woman I admire the most. Anyone who marries you must have saved the universe in a past life.]
[Bulma: Cut the flattery. I'm not some high school girl who gets fooled easily.]
Bulma, on Planet Terra, rolled her eyes silently.
But even as she said that, looking at Erina currently in Lott's arms, Bulma couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
Although she was no longer at the age of a love-struck young girl-
Any woman would harbor some longing for such an experience.
After all, almost all the men Bulma had encountered since childhood were terrible at flirting.
