Side Effects of the Battle God Water

"What's wrong? Do you want to destroy this?" Soya smiled lightly, took off the scouter, and placed it in front of the Bat Monster.

The Bat Monster shivered in fear, swallowed hard, and hurriedly shook its head vigorously.

If I destroy this thing now, he will really beat me to death.

Isn't it just going back to practice that line!

I'll practice it, alright!

The Bat Monster signaled its understanding and decided to go back and practice diligently.

"Go on, go on." Soya waved his hand.

The Bat Monster flapped its wings and fled rapidly.

"Good luck, I believe in you!" Soya shouted from behind.

"Negative emotion points from Zamstrunkutqilalawankukut +999!"

Good luck my foot!

Can you not be such a troll?

Soya felt wonderful inside.

This was a proper negative emotion point farming machine.

Aren't these all just combat power?

It simply couldn't be more satisfying!

Soya scanned the surroundings with the scouter and discovered that there were no monsters left within a hundred kilometers.

If only I could learn that ability to sense energy like they do on Earth.

I wonder if the system carries such an ability.

I can't keep using this scouter forever, can I?

I can't worry about that for now.

An hour had already passed.

Let's see what the side effect is for Raditz.

Soya quickly landed beside Raditz.

"Soya... what on earth is going on? Why do I feel like my body has been hollowed out..." Raditz looked at Soya listlessly, swaying as he climbed up from the ground.

Soya checked Raditz's combat power level through the scouter.

His combat power was down to only 175!

Could the side effect of the Battle God Water be a reduction in combat power after use?

What is the connection between 175 and his previous 700?

4 times 175 is 700.

4 times 700 is 2800.

Could it be... that his combat power increased by 4 times just now, and after an hour of use, the side effect is a 4-fold reduction?

If that's the case... it's actually quite reasonable.

However, if I were to increase my combat power by 100 times, and then it dropped by 100 times...

What the hell...

Would my combat power drop to zero?

Soya's face turned pale, and he shuddered.

Soya didn't know yet whether this side effect was permanent or if it would recover after a certain amount of time.

If it couldn't recover, that would be a bit tragic.

Soya couldn't help but look at Raditz with sympathy.

"Wait... wait a minute... why has my combat power become 175?" Raditz suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately checked his combat power level through his scouter.

When he saw his own combat power had become 175, Raditz felt like dying.

"Why is it like this?" Raditz sniffled, tears almost falling.

"Perhaps this thing has side effects," Soya mused.

"Perhaps?" Raditz's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly asked, "Didn't you drink it?"

"I never drank it," Soya shook his head.

Raditz: "..."

"Negative emotion points from Raditz +555!"

"No... you didn't drink it... and you gave it to me to drink?" Raditz almost burst into tears.

Can you not be this much of a troll?

"Look, your combat power just increased fourfold, right? Now it drops fourfold, isn't that reasonable?" Soya asked with a smile. "There are gains and losses; if there's an increase, there must be a decrease. It's perfectly normal!"

Raditz: "..."

"Negative emotion points from Raditz +666!"

Your logic is so sound, I can't even argue.

"So, will the fourfold decrease in combat power also last for an hour?" Raditz inquired.

"I'm not sure about that, because you're the first one to drink it, so I need to find the answer through you. You must not die! Keep up with me! Don't fall behind!" Soya decided to protect Raditz well. "If there's no time limit on the combat power reduction... that would truly be a tragedy."

Raditz's face turned pale, and he nearly fainted.

Ten thousand alpacas stampeded through Raditz's heart.

"Negative emotion points from Raditz +999!"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you well and ensure you leave this planet safe and sound." Soya patted Raditz on the shoulder.

Raditz's face turned as black as a lump of coal.

What a scammer.

What if my combat power never goes back up?

I worked so hard to raise my combat power to 700.

Drinking that big bucket of yours was refreshing, sure...

But the problem is, this drop in combat power is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?

Time passed bit by bit.

Under Soya's protection, Raditz remained safe and sound.

However, every time Raditz felt his own weakness, he would provide Soya with negative emotion points from time to time.

He was even grinding his teeth in hatred; if he weren't afraid of not being able to beat Soya, he would have tried to launch a sneak attack.

Too hateful.

Another three-plus hours passed.

Basically, all the monsters with high combat power on this planet had been wiped out by Vegeta and the others.

By now, Soya had already accumulated 900,000 negative emotion points.

He would soon be able to do a 100-pull!

Soya calculated silently.

Based on the average value.

He could gain an average of 50 combat power each time.

By that calculation, that would be at least 5,000 combat power, right?

Does that mean my combat power will increase to 8,000?

That's great!

I'll save up for now and wait until I reach 1,000,000 negative emotion points to do a 100-pull.

At least the planet is very safe now.

Before reuniting with Vegeta and the others, Soya encountered that Bat Monster again.

Ten thousand alpacas galloped through the Bat Monster's heart.

Why am I so unlucky?

I actually ran into him here!

"Come on, say it again!" Soya looked at the Bat Monster with a beaming smile.

"Black fertilizer will volatilize, gray fertilizer will not volatilize!" The Bat Monster said, word for word.

Hearing the Bat Monster actually speak, Raditz's jaw nearly hit the ground.

This guy Soya is simply a devil.

He actually made a monster talk!

I remember these monsters couldn't speak at all.

"Not bad, not bad." Soya nodded in satisfaction, full of praise, and even gave the Bat Monster a thumbs up.

The Bat Monster grinned, feeling that being praised was truly wonderful.

"Continue, continue, listen carefully: Gray fertilizer volatilizing will turn black, black fertilizer volatilizing will turn gray and flowers will fly, gray fertilizer turning gray and volatilizing will make flowers fly." Soya almost bit his tongue while saying this sentence.

Who came up with this tongue twister?

It's absolutely lethal!

Good thing I practiced a little in my past life.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have explained it so clearly.

"Your turn." Soya chuckled.

Bat Monster: "W-will v-volatilize v-v-v-volatilize f-f-f-flower..."

A million grass mud horses galloped through the Bat Monster's heart.

You're trying to kill me, aren't you?

"Pfft..."

Raditz burst out laughing on the spot.

"What an idiot! He can't even say something like that? Watch me!" Raditz expressed his deep disdain, then tried to mimic the tongue twister Soya had just said, "Will v-volatilize v-v-v-v-volatilize... f-flower... ouch... bit my tongue!"

Negative emotion points from Raditz +999!

Is that even something a human would say?

Bat Monster: "..."

I remember this long-haired brat!

He beat me up so badly!

But, are you an idiot?

Why on earth did you have to try and copy that?

You're not even as good at it as I am.
