There are two main reasons why Senga was able to "subdue" Marcarita: one is her superior strength, and the other is her culinary skills.
After eating Senga's cooking once, Marcarita was completely hooked. She didn't want to return to her own universe until she had devoured all of Senga's recipes.
Senga is incredibly efficient at cooking; all the ingredients float in mid-air, and she does everything from washing and chopping to putting them into the pot almost simultaneously.
His exceptional mental strength enabled him to multitask, ensuring that the cooking time and seasonings for each dish were perfectly precise. In no time, he had prepared a table full of dishes.
Marcarita stared at the dazzling array of dishes on the table with a completely infatuated expression. She picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs that looked incredibly tempting, but Bardos slapped the chopsticks away.
Bardos glanced at her sideways and said calmly,
"Forgot your manners again? What are you supposed to say before eating?"
Marcarita's expression froze. She glanced at Senga, and under his amused gaze, she clasped her hands together and said very obediently,
"Thank you Senga, you've worked hard!"
Senga smiled and nodded. Marcarita chuckled, picked up her chopsticks again, and called out,
"Let's dig in!"
However, just as she reached halfway with her chopsticks, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. Bardos gave her another gentle pat on the head and said, "ŴŴŴ."
"Wait, we have guests!"
Marcarita was on the verge of tears, thinking to herself, all she wanted was a piece of pork rib, why was it so difficult!
She angrily put down her chopsticks and said...
"I'll go open the door! I want to see who's so shameless as to come over during mealtime!"
After saying that, she turned and walked out, her twin ponytails swaying back and forth.
No. 18 tugged at Senga's sleeve and said,
"Could it be that he'll be back on the No. 17?"
Senga shook his head, exchanged a glance with Bardos opposite him, and said,
"It's not him. This guest is no ordinary person; he concealed his presence very well."
As she spoke, Marcarita's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Whis? What brings you here again?"
Whis looked at Marcarita speechlessly and said,
"Why can't I come? This is my universe!"
Marcarita was much tougher on Whis; she answered confidently.
"What do you mean by 'your universe'? I can go to any universe I want!"
"Alright, alright! Could you please move aside? I have something important to say to you today!"
"Um... could you come back later?"
Whis was taken aback and asked,
"Why? Is there something inside that I can't see?"
He never imagined that Marcarita simply didn't want an extra pair of chopsticks on the table.
Before she could speak, Bardos's voice came from inside the house.
"Oh, it's Whis! Come in, we're just about to eat."
Whis was a big foodie, and as soon as he heard about food, he perked up and walked straight past Marcarita into the house.
"No wonder it smelled so good! Let's eat and talk!"
Marcarita rolled her eyes, then immediately turned and ran into the house, only to find that her spot had already been taken by Whis.
Senga thoughtfully brought over a small stool, and even though Marcarita was reluctant, she eventually sat down obediently, staring longingly at the dishes on the table.
This was the first time Whis had witnessed Senga's culinary skills, and he rubbed his hands together, saying...
"This looks so delicious! Did Senga make all of this?"
Bardos smiled and said,
"I was startled when I first saw it too! Don't just look at it, try it!"
Whis was still very polite. He first looked at Senga, and after receiving Senga's permission, he immediately began to eat.
Seeing this, Marcarita didn't hold back any longer and joined the battle.
After the group devoured the food, the plates on the table looked cleaner than Marcarita's face.
Whis patted his stomach, let out a satisfied burp, and said with a contented expression,
"This is so delicious! I never knew Senga had such a skill!"
Marcarita shifted her small stool and began to speak.
"Whis, stop eating! Didn't you just say you had something important to say?"
Whis froze, realizing he had been so focused on eating that he had completely forgotten about the matter of the universe's survival!
He quickly recounted what the Grand Minister had said, omitting the part about having Marcarita and Bardos confirm Senga's character.
He figured that if someone ate his food, he couldn't be Senga bad, and that's how he felt about it!
Upon hearing that the universe was to be erased, Vados and the others' expressions turned serious. No. 18 looked at Senga with some worry and asked,
"Senga, what kind of god is this Zeno? He threatens to erase the universe at the drop of a hat, he's even worse than that rabbit-looking god from last time!"
Upon hearing this, the three angels immediately waved their hands in alarm. Marcarita, who was closer to No. 18, covered her mouth in fear and cautiously said...
"Don't talk nonsense! If Lord Zeno hears us, we're doomed! We won't even have a chance to use the Super Dragon Ball!"
Senga frowned. This matter was indeed somewhat troublesome. He wasn't afraid of being erased by Zeno, but No. 18 and the others couldn't be. They were native inhabitants of the Dragon Ball universe.
If the King really goes berserk, they definitely won't be able to escape.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Senga's eyes. This Omni-King was indeed an extremely unstable factor, and he had already begun to consider whether to eliminate him in advance.
However, he was unaware of the Omni-King's strength, and if he acted rashly and things went wrong, it wouldn't be fun.
For now, it's best to follow Whis's advice and collect Super Dragon Ball as a precaution.
Whis was unaware that Senga in front of him was already considering killing Zeno, and he continued talking about the Super Dragon Ball.
Bardos suddenly interrupted,
"Alright, I already have six Super Dragon Ball. I can get them now if you need them."
Marcarita looked at Bardos in surprise and said,
"You collected so much in advance? Impressive! It seems you were prepared for this all along. No wonder you were so calm every time I brought it up!"
Bardos glanced at her and said indifferently,
"Who told us that our universe is not as powerful as yours? Naturally, I have to make some preparations in advance, especially with the lessons learned from those six universes."
"That's true! Our universe is definitely the strongest!"
In the past, Bados wouldn't have been able to refute this, but things are different now.
She glanced at Senga and said,
"Really? Then tell me, if your universe is the strongest, how do you calculate the Universe 7, which has Senga?"
