Mount Paozu.
A Universal Capsule House is located on the flat land of the valley.
In the open space behind the house, there is a large iron pot.
The flames licked the bottom of the pot, where large pieces of animal meat were simmering.
The rich aroma of meat mixed with the smoke of firewood fills the air.
Bardock is sitting on a thick dead tree.
He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees.
His eyes fell on the grass in front of him, watching a few busy ants carrying debris.
The golden sunlight hit his face covered with wind, frost and scars, depicting every texture very clearly.
He was wearing that worn-out Battle Suit.
That is the proof of his lifelong fighting, and it is also the yoke of sin that he bears.
Gine walked out of the house carrying two cups of hot tea.
She handed one of the cups to Bardock and sat down next to him on the dead wood.
"What are you thinking about?" Gine's voice was very soft.
Bardock took the teacup and didn't move it for a long time.
He stared at the heat rising in the cup and was silent for a long time.
"Krillin came here just now."
Bardock spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.
Gine turned his head and looked at him, choosing to listen quietly.
"He told me something a while ago."
Bardock turned his head and met his wife's eyes.
"He asked me to go to Universe 4. to replace the God of Destruction that was eaten."
Gine was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
She stretched out her hand and covered the rough back of Bardock's hand.
"That's a good thing." Gine said with a smile.
Bardock turned his head sharply, his brows tightly knitted together.
"A good thing? You think this is a good thing? Gine, have you forgotten what we used to do?"
Bardock stood up and walked back and forth anxiously.
Then, Bardock stopped, raised his hands in front of him, and stared at the calloused palms.
"We are Low-Class Warrior! How many people have I killed with these hands? How many planets have I destroyed?"
Bardock's breathing became heavy.
"Asking me to be God of Destruction? To control the life and death of a universe? That's ridiculous. Krillin must be crazy."
After saying these words, his shoulders slumped.
Gine sat on a dead tree, looking at her husband's painful appearance.
She did not follow Bardock's words to comfort her, nor did she refuse to refute him with empty words.
She stood up and walked to Bardock.
Gine stretched out his hands and held Bardock's face.
Her eyes became extremely firm, revealing the unique strength of Saiyan women.
"Bardock, look at me." Gine said in a deep voice.
Bardock raised his eyes.
Gine's thumb gently rubbed the cross scar on Bardock's face.
"You are right, we have done wrong things before. That is Saiyan's sorrow, and it is also the past that we cannot erase."
"But when Planet Vegeta was about to be destroyed, who stood up? Who rushed to Frieza alone, to protect us, to protect Kakarot?"
Gine's eyes were slightly red, but his voice became clearer and stronger.
"You are a warrior. No matter what others think, in my heart, you have always been the bravest one."
"You understand the weight of life better than those superior gods, because you have seen with your own eyes how life is taken away at will. If you become God of Destruction, you will definitely do better than that bad guy."
Gine put down his hand, grabbed Bardock's shoulder, and shook it hard.
"Bardock, Krillin chose you because he believes in you. I believe in you too. Go ahead, God of Destruction is not unable to go home."
Gine showed a bright smile, which was surprisingly similar to Goku.
Bardock was stunned.
He looked at Gine's firm eyes and listened to her powerful words.
The iceberg in my heart began to collapse inch by inch.
He suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Gine tightly into his arms.
He buried his face in his wife's shoulder and took a deep breath.
Bardock whispered in Gine's ear, "If I go there..."
Gine patted his back. "I'll go with you. I heard that Angel over there is very good at cooking. We can't keep causing trouble to Chi-Chi here."
Bardock tightened his arms.
The haze in my heart completely dissipated, replaced by a long-lost peace and strength.
It was in the shadow of the woods not far from them.
Raditz leaned silently against a big tree.
He looked at the happy Bardock couple and listened to the noise coming from the kitchen, with a sad expression.
As Saiyan, his Battle Power is at the bottom of the family.
The father is about to become God of Destruction who controls the universe, and the younger brother is Monster Who Surpasses the Gods. Even the nephews are in an unattainable state.
He was the only one, like a lonely onlooker who was out of place.
Raditz clenched his fists, his joints turning white.
He lowered his head deeply and retreated into the darkness again, his back full of loneliness and unwillingness.
Bardock came to his senses and took Gine's hand.
"Let's go." Bardock took a deep breath and his tone became firm.
"Where to go?" Gine asked, tilting his head.
Bardock looked at the sky.
"Go to West City. Go and see that Lord Zeno. Let's settle this troublesome matter."
