A Real Pitfall!

"Something's wrong! Your combat power is definitely not 300,000!" Dodoria frowned, staring at Vegeta with a suspicious expression.

"That's right, my combat power hasn't increased; I didn't drink the Battle God Water." Vegeta wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied calmly.

Dodoria: "..."

"Brat, you dare to deceive Lord Frieza? You're a dead man!" Dodoria gritted his teeth and roared, "I'm going to report this to Lord Frieza right now. There's no need to bring you back; I'll just dispose of you right here!"

"Wait a second, I have something very important to tell you," Vegeta said hurriedly. "It's about the Battle God Water!"

"Hmph, speak then!" Dodoria snorted. "What could there possibly be to say about the Battle God Water?"

"It's about how to use it. If used correctly, your combat power will double again on top of the original increase," Vegeta switched into swindling mode. "In other words, your combat power will increase by 32 times!"

"You... what did you say? 32 times the combat power?" Dodoria was stunned, unable to help but exclaim.

If my combat power increased by 32 times, what would it reach?

640,000!

Wouldn't that exceed Lord Frieza's first form?

Could it really be that heaven-defying?

"Really?" Dodoria was half-believing, his eyes darting around uncertainly.

"Let me go, and I'll tell you how to do it," Vegeta scoffed.

Dodoria hesitated for two seconds before slowly releasing Vegeta.

"By the way, how long has it been since you drank that Battle God Water? Has it been an hour yet?" Vegeta asked casually, feigning indifference.

"Just about, almost there," Dodoria replied.

"That's good. As long as you drink the Battle God Water again after an hour, your combat power will double on top of the original base," Vegeta wiped the blood from his mouth again and explained to Dodoria.

"Oh? Is that so?" Dodoria's face lit up with joy, his expression growing increasingly expectant.

It seems like it's almost been an hour since I drank my Battle God Water.

As long as I drink it again after an hour, will my combat power continue to double on top of the original?

No, no...

I keep feeling like something isn't right!

"Why didn't you drink it?" Dodoria looked at Vegeta strangely, his brow furrowing.

"What? Are you doubting something?" Vegeta snorted, asking with a detached expression.

"Don't you want to increase your combat power?" Dodoria felt that things were getting more and more wrong. "If there's such a good thing, why wouldn't you do it? Or is it that..."

The more Dodoria pondered, the more he felt that this whole thing seemed abnormal.

Vaguely, Dodoria felt as if a conspiracy was waiting for him and Lord Frieza.

As for what this conspiracy was, Dodoria couldn't quite grasp it for the moment.

Just as Dodoria began to sense a hint of the truth.

"Snap!"

Dodoria suddenly felt his combat power draining away as if a floodgate had been opened, dissipating in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Dodoria felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.

The side effect had arrived!

Dodoria's combat power plummeted from 320,000 straight down to 1,250.

This disparity left Dodoria unable to process what was happening, and he stood frozen in place.

But soon, Dodoria slapped his forehead; the thing that felt wrong earlier had finally become clear to him.

There was a problem with this Battle God Water!

It only provided a temporary boost to combat power!

After an hour passed, the combat power would drop.

Damn it!

It turned out to be a trap!

"The side effect has finally appeared," Vegeta grinned. "Now your combat power is only a little over 1,200, right?"

"How... how did you calculate that?" Dodoria's voice was low.

"Hmph, the amount it increases by is the amount it drops by," Vegeta chuckled.

"You... what did you say?" Dodoria panicked, unable to stop himself from stumbling back several steps.

"You beat me up pretty badly earlier! Now, it's my turn to fix you, isn't it?" Killing intent flickered in Vegeta's eyes.

"You... don't you dare do anything reckless, stay back!" Dodoria retreated continuously, trembling with fear.

"Bang!"

Vegeta had no intention of showing mercy; he struck rapidly, landing an elbow strike directly into Dodoria's chest.

"Pfft..."

Dodoria spat out a massive spray of blood.

"Bang!"

Vegeta delivered another heavy kick to Dodoria, launching him high into the sky.

The next moment, Vegeta let Dodoria fall back down in a freefall.

Just as Dodoria was about to hit the ground, Vegeta rushed forward and kicked him back up into the air once more.

Tsk tsk... Soya's way of playing is truly satisfying!

That was exactly how Soya had toyed with Cui back then.

Now, it was his turn to play with Dodoria.

"That was a close one," Nappa said, still shaken as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Get me something to eat, quickly!" Vegeta shot a sidelong glance at Nappa.

"Yes... I understand!" Nappa nodded repeatedly.

During the battle just now, although Vegeta had been struck hard by Dodoria, he had fortunately avoided any vital points, suffering only severe localized injuries.

The Saiyan constitution was quite unique; for injuries like these, eating some food to replenish his stamina would be enough to recover.

Watching Dodoria plummeting rapidly, Vegeta shot into the sky, appearing directly in front of him and matching his descent.

"Dodoria, where is your Scouter?" Vegeta asked with a smile.

"Because I increased my combat power, the Scouter exceeded its detection range and exploded," Dodoria replied through gritted teeth.

"That is truly wonderful!" Vegeta's smile grew even brighter.

"You... you better let me go, Vegeta!" Dodoria said in a low voice.

"I can let you go, but I need you to cooperate with me on one thing!" A smile appeared on Vegeta's face.

"Speak," Dodoria said, stunned.

"I'll tell you once you've flown a bit longer," Vegeta chuckled softly. "That was how Soya kicked Cui back then; I didn't find it all that satisfying at the time, but now that I'm kicking you, I finally realize that guy Soya really knows how to have fun!"

"You... what did you say?" Dodoria was a bit dazed.

Soya kicked Cui like this?

Could it be that Cui was tricked to his death?

"Bang!"

Vegeta delivered another heavy kick to Dodoria, sending him ten thousand meters into the sky.

Dodoria suddenly realized many things.

No wonder Cui had mysteriously disappeared.

So, Vegeta and Soya had eliminated Cui by using the side effects of the Battle God Water.

"Negative Emotion Points from Dodoria +999!"

"From Dodoria..."

In an instant, the Negative Emotion Points from Dodoria were nearly overflowing.
