Slug's Decision

Faced with the overwhelming pressure from Slug, Dr. Ruka felt his body stiffen, his blood freeze, and his face turn deathly pale. As he arched his back slightly, an uncontrollable joy welled up inside him.

The stronger Slug, the higher the chances of his plan succeeding.

"I do know who stole your fruit. Fortunately, my Scouter was pointed at Planet Orphi at the time, so I saw the whole thing clearly." Dr. Ruka tried to remain calm, his voice trembling slightly.

"Who is it?" Slug's eyes flashed with a sinister light, his gaze as fierce as a jackal's as he stared at Dr. Ruka.

"The queen of the Sephiria Force and her subordinates."

Slug's expression froze for a moment, then he frowned and said, "The Saiyan Queen who has recently risen to power in the North Galaxy? Planet Orphi is indeed not far from the Sephiria Force. Even though I am on the edge of the North Galaxy, I have often heard of Queen Sephi's name. It is said that the Sephiria Force were established by that queen herself, and their power is extremely formidable."

"That's right, Queen Sephi's power is indeed extraordinary."

As he spoke, Dr. Ruka showed Slug a portion of the footage he had gathered, which depicted a scene that Planet Orphi Slug.

After reading Slug was filled with overwhelming killing intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Very well, as expected of Queen Sephi, she actually stole all my fruits." After a while, Slug calmed down, stared at Dr. Ruka, and said coldly, "You told me all this because you want me to deal with Sephiria Force?"

"That's right."

Dr. Ruka didn't mince words, stating directly, "Queen Sephi destroyed my planet, and my hatred for her is irreconcilable. It's just a pity that I'm too weak to avenge my fallen people on my own."

Slug looked at Dr. Ruka noncommittally, "So you want to use my power to help you take revenge?"

"If you destroy the Sephiria Force for me, I am willing to offer up my most prized invention."

Dr. Ruka took out a red reagent and said to Slug, "Queen Sephi obtained the fruit you desired. Although I don't know exactly what that fruit is, it seems to have the effect of enhancing the energy of life forms. Queen Sephi harvested a large number of fruits on Planet Orphi, so her strength must have greatly increased. I know that Your Excellency Slug is extremely strong, probably even stronger than Queen Sephi Slug, but your body is already old. Facing Queen Sephi prime, you probably won't have much of an advantage. I happen to have a life-extending potion on hand. This was originally developed for King Garlic Jr., but unfortunately, Garlic Jr. didn't live to see the potion completed before he died at the hands of the Sephiria Force."

Upon suddenly hearing that Dr. Ruka possessed a life-extending potion, Slug's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his breathing became rapid.

"King Garlic Jr.? I've heard of him. He's nothing but a clown," Slug said, feigning composure and disdain.

In the entire North Galaxy, the only person he could take seriously was King Cold. Even Frieza was nothing more than a lucky inheritor of King Cold's power. Because he had never witnessed Frieza's actual strength, Slug felt some apprehension towards him, but also a degree of disdain.

As for Garlic Jr., he wasn't even worthy of being given a second glance.

"Of course, compared to His Slug, Garlic Jr. is indeed no match, but he ultimately died at the hands of the Sephiria Force, and I personally feel some regret for him," Dr. Ruka said insincerely.

Slug sneered as he took the potion from Dr. Ruka's hand.

"Can this potion really extend a person's lifespan?" Slug stared at the small potion in his hand.

"It is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you are welcome to have someone test it. As long as you destroy the Sephiria Force for me, I can give you all the formulas for the Life-Extending Serum."

Slug stared at Dr. Ruka with his dark eyes, then suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm starting to believe you. Fine, Queen Sephi has offended me anyway, and they'll pay the price sooner or later. I'll grant your request to destroy Sephiria Force as soon as possible."

"In that case, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Slug."

"Hehe."

A cold smile appeared on Slug's aged face as he nodded noncommittally, acknowledging Dr. Ruka's cooperation.

After Dr. Ruka left, Slug picked up the red potion, examined it closely, hesitated for a moment, then unscrewed the stopper and drank it.

The medicine went down his throat, Slug pursed his lips but showed no reaction.

Just as he was beginning to doubt whether there was something wrong with the medicine, suddenly, his spirits lifted, a surge of energy coursed through his body, as if he had inexhaustible strength, his mind became exceptionally vibrant, and the wrinkles on his forehead became much less pronounced.

"Hahaha, it really is a life-extending potion! I feel like I've instantly become more than ten years younger!!"

Slug laughed loudly. Although the potion's effects were quite limited and his body was still old, being able to look more than ten years younger was still a remarkable achievement. Now that the authenticity of the Life-Extending Serum was confirmed, Slug was completely relieved. Next, he needed to consider how to deal with Sephiria Force.

Dr. Ruka actually said he would only hand over the formula for the potion after completely destroying the Sephiria Force.

Hmph, a mere ant-like figure dares to bargain with me, the King... Recalling Dr. Ruka's audacious appearance, Slug felt a surge of displeasure.

Dr. Ruka is a restless fellow too. We'll deal with him properly after we've dealt with Sephiria Force. Right now, the important thing is dealing with Sephiria Force.

"They stole the Tree of Might, and I will absolutely not let this go... Hmm, Sephiria Force are located in the western part of the North Galaxy. If our army goes there, it will take a lot of time. By the time we arrive, there will probably be very little of my fruit left. It seems we will need a batch of more advanced aircraft."

After a moment's careful consideration, Slug summoned his most trusted subordinate and, through him, made contact with the Frieza Legion in the North Galaxy.

"Dambalon, contact Frieza in my name and tell him that I need a batch of the most advanced aircraft and hope he can prepare them for me."

"But Lord Slug, we don't have much contact with Frieza Force."

Slug raised his eyelids slightly. "Frieza is a businessman. He can definitely get his hands on a mere flying machine by paying a price. Go ahead. Also, gather intelligence on Sephiria Force. I need to understand every single one of their soldiers."

"Yes!"

The Pterosaur Subordinate straightened up and responded seriously.

Planet Frieza.

Frieza soon received a report from his subordinates that a force called the "Slug Legion" in a remote part of the North Galaxy wanted to buy flying machines from them.

"Who is that Slug?" Frieza turned to ask his subordinate.

Zarbon shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this name before, so he is probably not a famous person."

The universe is full of self-proclaimed extraordinary individuals, as numerous as carp crossing a river. They become arrogant with just a little skill, naming their forces "legions." However, such forces rarely last long and are quickly replaced by new ones. Power shifts happen every day. Only the truly powerful, like King Frieza or Queen Sephi, can truly stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

Since his mission to the Planet Sadala, Zarbon has kept the Planet Sadala's power firmly in mind.

In his mind, the strongest beings in the entire universe are few and far between. Apart from King Cold and King Frieza, the strongest are probably Queen Sephi and Roland. Even Captain Ginyu, whom he used to respect as a strongman, is now ranked several places lower in Zarbon's mind.

That Slug is most likely just a fame-seeking guy.
