My Fruit
"What are you going to do in the East Galaxy?" Roland subconsciously, already having a good idea about the mysterious decline of planets in that region of the Ska Galaxy.
Lulu chuckled awkwardly, "It's a private matter, Lord Roland, you don't need to worry about me running away."
"I don't think you have the guts to run away." Roland looked at her. With the energy locked, even if Lulu escaped to the ends of the earth, he would find her with his Instant Transmission. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, as long as you figure out the situation on the mission star system, you can arrange your time afterwards, but you must come back within the specified time."
Finally, a warning was still given. After all, Lulu was a cruel witch, and even if she submitted, she still needed to be disciplined from time to time.
Upon hearing this, Lulu nodded hurriedly and then went to investigate the situation near the planet mentioned in the mercenary mission with great enthusiasm.
After Lulu left, a ripple flashed in Roland's deep eyes, and his thoughts immediately began to wander. In fact, when he saw those planets that had unexpectedly perished, he had already guessed the general reason.
"If it's the Tree of Might, I'm incredibly lucky."
Roland's lips curled up, her expression filled with anticipation.
The Tree of Might is a magical plant that appeared in the theatrical version. It is a fruit tree planted by gods, and its fruit is usually only available to gods. Mortals who eat it will benefit immensely, not only from the increase in energy, but also from the great nourishment it provides to the body and potential. However, the Tree of Might has extremely harsh growing conditions in the mortal realm because it is not a fruit tree of the mortal world. Its growth will directly drain the life force of an entire planet.
"Umu!" Roland called out.
Soon after, Umu hurriedly approached Roland and respectfully asked, "Lord Roland, what are your orders?"
"Deploy the most advanced reconnaissance equipment to the region where Planet Sca is located, and work with Lulu to investigate the situation on that planet. If... you discover a rapidly aging planet or some kind of peculiar fruit tree, report immediately! This matter is very important, so it must be carried out diligently."
"Yes, Lord Roland."
Seeing Roland's serious instructions, Umu immediately answered earnestly.
Roland nodded, then dismissed Umu. He figured that with Umu's technological support and the efforts of Lulu and the others, they should be able to find the location of the Tree of Might soon. Moreover, having Lulu, a powerful fighter, go there would be no less effective than Roland going in person.
Several days have passed.
The Sephiria Force's ships were deployed to the southern region of the North Galaxy. Thanks to their superior ship propulsion engines, which were far ahead of other civilizations, the Sephiria Force's reconnaissance teams arrived before Slug's fleet even reached Planet Orphi.
The findings on Planet Orphi were also sent back immediately.
When Roland received the message and saw the image transmitted back from the void, she felt invigorated and refreshed.
"This is wonderful! It really is Tree of Might... We must get this Tree of Might!"
Gazing at the spherical fruits hanging from the towering canopy, Roland's eyes gleamed. The Tree of Might had already sprouted. To not seize such a gift from heaven would be to invite disaster; these fruits were undoubtedly invaluable treasures, and there was absolutely no reason to let them go to waste.
"You seem quite interested in this. What exactly are these fruits?"
Seeing the light in Roland's eyes, Sephiria also began to take notice. It seemed that, apart from the "Dragon Ball" back then, she had rarely seen Roland show such enthusiasm for anything over the years.
"This is the Tree of Might, which can be said to be the condensation of the life essence of a planet. Every planet where the Tree of Might has grown has inevitably declined and died. Even if it is lucky enough to survive, it will become barren within a few hundred years... What kind of effect do you think such a fruit would have on the human body?"
"More importantly, it has an excellent effect on enhancing the combat effectiveness of organisms."
Upon hearing this, Sephiria's dark, beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
As the queen of the Sephiria Force, although her position was forcibly placed, she still possessed foresight over the years. As soon as Roland explained, she immediately understood the importance of the Tree of Might.
"So this is a treasure comparable to Senzu Bean, no, for Saiyan's body, the Tree of Might is even more miraculous."
We must seize it, no matter what.
In an instant, the thought of plunder flashed through Sephiria's mind.
"Gather more people, the Saiyan, the Vine Race, and the Lis Race from Planet Sadala, all of them, let's go together."
"Let's head to Planet Orphi immediately!"
After learning about the miraculous effects of the Tree of Might, both Sephiria and Hertz's breathing became rapid. This thing that could enhance combat power had to be kept in their own hands; there was no reason to let it fall into the wrong hands.
Roland smiled faintly. "There's no rush. We still need to investigate the situation on Planet Orphi. How about this: Sephiria will come with me. Hertz and Heeters the forces. Once we've confirmed the situation there, we'll immediately lead the army down and reap all the rewards."
"That's how it should be."
Hertz and the others had no objections. Although Planet Orphi was a remote and underdeveloped planet, it was always better to be cautious. Besides, it would take some time to organize manpower on Planet Sadala, so Roland's division of labor was naturally the best option.
So, while Hertz was gathering his forces, Roland had already Instant Transmission with Sephiria and the others, disappearing in the blink of an eye and arriving at the distant Planet Orphi.
Planet Orphi is located at the border between the Sephiria Force and the southern region of the North Galaxy. It is just an ordinary, low-level planet.
Turles went to great lengths to conceal his tracks and develop his power in secret. However, just as he was patiently waiting for the Tree of Might fruit to mature, several unexpected people arrived on Planet Orphi.
On a mountain range in the northern hemisphere of Planet Orphi, snow covered the majestic ridges. A cold wind blew, carrying snowflakes. The surrounding vegetation had long since withered, and the evergreen coniferous forests had lost all their needles, leaving only bare tree trunks swaying in the cold wind, presenting a scene of utter decay.
Suddenly, a ripple spread through the void, and the figures of Roland and Sephiria appeared in mid-air.
As soon as it appeared, a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes drifted in. Roland glanced at the desolate snow scene, and his energy surged. A warm current spread out, and the cold air around him instantly turned into a sparse airflow.
Afterwards, they quickly found Lulu, who had arrived earlier. Lulu had only been on Planet Orphi for a short time, and had just sent the information back when Roland and Sephiria arrived. Their speed surprised Lulu.
"It seems this planet is not far from its demise," Roland said softly, ignoring her surprise and looking at the surrounding scenery.
"Let's go find the Tree of Might first," Sephiria said.
Roland nodded, and just then, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, "There is also a very powerful energy on this planet, with a combat power of about 300,000."
Sephiria frowned, as if she had thought of something, and a murderous look suddenly appeared on her face. "Could that person have eaten the Tree of Might?!"
The Tree of Might is already Sephiria's private property, and anyone who takes it is her enemy.
"Only 300,000 combat power? You might as well let me teach you a lesson." Lulu licked her lips, the pattern between her eyebrows shimmering faintly. After all, she was a ruthless witch. Even though she had restrained herself somewhat after being subdued by Roland, she was still full of ferocity in her bones.
Sephiria glanced at Lulu but didn't object. Lulu was overjoyed and quickly flew towards the place where the energy appeared.
Soon after, the three arrived near a towering tree, where the half-green, half-red fruits hanging on the giant tree had already caught their attention.
"The Tree of Might, though not yet ripe."
"Roland, catch!"
A fruit flew over, and Roland caught it with one hand. He glanced at the purplish-red fruit in his hand; it was plump and covered in spikes. He put it in his mouth and took a bite. Juice splashed out, and a burst of energy spread through his mouth, making his whole body feel warm. Roland's eyes lit up. "Although a single fruit doesn't contain a lot of energy, eating a lot of it is very beneficial to the body."
When it comes to eating, Saiyan's appetites are second to none.
This is amazing! It's practically made for Saiyan.
Looking at the Tree of Might hanging among the branches and leaves, Roland's eyes reddened.
"Roland, look over there..." Sephiria pointed to a figure dozing on a tree trunk in the distance. The figure had only one leg, a pile of purplish-red Tree of Might on its chest, and a pile of fruit pits on the ground below.
Sephiria's eyes immediately turned red.
"That guy is a Saiyan too! He's just Common Warrior, yet he somehow managed to raise his power level to 300,000! Ah, just how many Tree of Might did he eat?!" Sephiria trembled with rage.
"Your Majesty, leave it to me," Lulu said, eager to prove herself.
Sephiria said coldly, "Don't kill him."
"Yes, sir!"
Lulu chuckled, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes. A gust of wind swept by, and Lulu's figure flashed, already in front of Turles.
I finalized the apartment details tonight, and I'll be moving tomorrow night!
