Identity

Kast did not refute Laila's words.

Ever since his battle with Frieza, Kast had felt the shackles break. If he were to continue training now, he would face no further restrictions, and his strength would experience an explosive surge during this period.

However, Kast knew these were not the real reasons why Laila had let him go.

"You still haven't answered my previous question: what do you mean by the Realm of the Kais?"

Although Kast already had a hunch, he still wanted to hear her say it herself.

"Hmm? Don't interrupt me; I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Where was I? Oh, right, I was saying I needed to find the strongest warrior, and then I ran into you..."

As she spoke, Laila prepared to continue from where she had left off.

However, Kast had already lost his patience and spoke firmly, repeating his demand.

"Answer my question first! We can talk about the rest later!"

"You!"

Watching the unromantic Kast, Laila couldn't help but sigh, saying helplessly.

"Fine, fine, I'll answer your question first."

"Oh, right, what was your question again? Hmm, let me think..."

As if she had forgotten what Kast asked, Laila suddenly tapped her chin with her index finger, turned around, and feigned deep thought.

"..."

Watching Laila's posturing, the green in Kast's pupils gradually surfaced, and his hair began to float upward unnaturally. His fingers curled into fists involuntarily, and veins even bulged on the back of his hands. At that moment, Kast even mused that if he had encountered her instead of Frieza, he wouldn't have needed to rely on a life-or-death breakthrough; his rage alone would have been enough to trigger the Super Saiyan transformation.

Laila, who was still feigning thought, slowly shifted her gaze. Through the corner of her eye, she saw Kast, now brimming with fury. She suddenly gave a light laugh and said.

"Haha, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I know you're asking about the Realm of the Kais, right?"

"Yes, just as you suspected, I am a deity. You may call me the West Supreme Kai, though, well, that was a long time ago. You can just call me by my name, Laila, from now on."

The West Supreme Kai, 'Laila', replied with a smile.

"That's it. Do you have any other questions?"

As she spoke, Laila kept her smile fixed on Kast.

Although Kast had been somewhat prepared after hearing the truth from Laila's own lips, he still found it incredibly hard to believe.

It was true that the Supreme Kais existed in this universe—the East, South, West, North, and the Great Supreme Kai. However, according to his memories, except for the East Supreme Kai, who had been too weak at the time and thus survived by being severely wounded by Majin Buu, the others had either died in battle against Buu or been absorbed by him. How could she still be alive?

Moreover, he remembered that the West Supreme Kai and the North Supreme Kai were the first ones sought out, and the first to die.

What on earth was going on?

Kast fell into deep thought.

"Hey, no more questions?"

Beside him, Laila watched the silent Kast, growing somewhat impatient.

Interrupted from his thoughts, Kast came back to his senses and looked quietly at Laila.

"One last question: why must you use my blood to create a child?"

Hearing Kast's inquiry, the West Supreme Kai Laila fell silent for a moment. She then turned her head to look into the distance. In the instant she turned, Kast saw a look of hatred and fear flash in her eyes.

With her back turned, Laila's tone shifted from her usual demeanor, carrying a clear sense of rage.

"Because only the strongest warrior born from you and me can help me take my revenge!"

It was only a single sentence, yet Kast could feel the depth of the hatred in Laila's heart.

"Well? Will you agree to give me a drop of blood?"

Turning back around, Laila resumed her smiling face and continued to press Kast.

"...Fine!"

After pondering for a while, Kast suddenly seemed to think of something, then looked up and agreed to Laila's request.

"That's wonderful!"

Hearing Kast's answer, Laila's expression lit up with joy.

"Then come with me!"

"Together?"

Kast interrupted.

"What do you mean? I can just give you a drop of blood right here. Why do I need to go anywhere with you?"

Hearing this, Laila rolled her eyes and said.

"Obviously. I don't want your blood right now. You're still in a growth phase, and your strength can still increase. I only need your blood when you are at your peak. So, you must come with me to where I live and train hard. Once the time is right, you can give me a drop of blood."

As she finished speaking, she thought to herself: If I didn't need your blood later, I wouldn't be wasting so much breath on you; it would be much easier to just take it now.

Hearing this, Kast wanted to say something else, but Laila seemed to know what he was thinking and spoke first.

"Don't tell me to wait until you've grown stronger before coming to find you. Honestly, it took me quite a bit of time to track you down already, and I don't want to waste more time looking for you later. Alright, since you've agreed, let's go."

Without waiting for Kast to respond, Laila grabbed his clothes and vanished from that part of the universe.
