"I just got back from Universe 3 and was preparing to return to Universe 10," Kusu said. "What about you, Vados?"
"I just got back from Universe 7, and I'm heading back to Universe 6," Vados replied.
"This is..." Kusu had noticed Vegeta standing behind Vados some time ago.
"This is Mr. Vegeta. Lord Champa might want to train him to become a prospective God of Destruction," Vados briefly explained.
"He doesn't look very old," Kusu said with a smile.
"That's why we have to start training him while he's young. Lord Champa doesn't seem to have any plans to retire just yet, after all. Maybe by the time Mr. Vegeta grows up, Lord Champa will be ready to retire," Vados said with a smile.
"I see..." Kusu had only asked in passing and had no intention of pressing the matter.
"Kusu, you should come visit us in Universe 6 sometime," Vados invited her.
"Sure. I'll definitely visit when I have time," Kusu said with a nod.
The two beautiful Angels exchanged a few pleasantries before saying their goodbyes.
They flew off in opposite directions and were soon gone.
Vegeta: "..."
Were conversations between Angels always this boring?
They could've gossiped about something.
Instead, they'd talked about nothing.
Vegeta shook his head.
As Vados flew along, her Scepter suddenly vibrated.
Vados froze for a moment, then immediately turned to look at the Scepter.
"Oh my... It's the Grand Minister." Vados stared at it in surprise.
Vegeta was startled too.
Could it be that he'd heard my oath... that I'd make the Grand Minister eat shit?
If so, this was going to be bad.
Just give me a few years to grow stronger first.
How could I beat you right now?
"Don't say a word, understand?" Vados warned Vegeta.
"Don't worry. I know how to keep my mouth shut," Vegeta said.
Vados: "..."
I feel like there's a hidden meaning in that.
But I can't quite put my finger on it.
Vados stopped paying attention to Vegeta and immediately used her Scepter to answer the call.
"Grand Minister, it's been a long time," Vados greeted him courteously.
"Vados, come to the Omni-King's Palace. I have something to discuss with you," the Grand Minister said.
"Right now?" Vados asked, taken aback.
"Yes, right now. Is there a problem?" the Grand Minister asked with a smile.
"No problem, of course not," Vados replied.
"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance to the Omni-King's Palace," the Grand Minister said.
"All right," Vados said with a nod, changing course midway.
"Come alone," the Grand Minister added, then ended the call.
Vados: "..."
Vegeta had obviously heard him too.
Vados had effectively put the call on speaker.
Vegeta had heard every word they said.
He was about ready to curse.
Grand Minister, what's that supposed to mean?
You're telling Vados to go alone?
What about me?
Are you going to leave me here?
I'll die here!
Wait, I shouldn't die, should I?
Don't I have an Immortal Body?
It might be more like a trial version of an Immortal Body.
But I should still be unable to die.
"You heard him too?" Vados looked helpless and added, "The Grand Minister is the most powerful god in the entire universe."
Vegeta already knew that, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
The only thing that was bothering him now was...
Were you seriously going to leave me here all by myself?
"What are you planning to do? Leave me here?" Vegeta scoffed. "Even if I can survive in this kind of environment, I'll starve to death."
Damn you, Grand Minister!
Vegeta grumbled to himself.
What the hell are you up to?
Did you already hear me say I'd make you eat shit?
Damn it...
If he really had heard, things could get pretty tragic.
I don't want to be Tragic Vegeta...
Vegeta's thoughts ran wild for a moment.
"This really is a complicated problem," Vados sighed.
"Then find a suitable planet and drop me off on the way to see the Grand Minister," Vegeta suggested.
"Well... from here, all I have to do to reach the Omni-King's Palace is fly straight up," Vados replied. "There aren't any suitable planets nearby."
Vegeta: "..."
"Please wait here. I'll be back soon after I meet with the Grand Minister," Vados said.
"Don't joke around," Vegeta scoffed. "Who knows what the Grand Minister wants with you? What if he takes you somewhere really far away and keeps you there for ages? Am I supposed to just wait here the whole time?"
"That is a problem," Vados said, nodding lightly. She had to admit Vegeta had a point.
"Why not take me with you?" Vegeta asked.
"I can't. The Grand Minister specifically told me to go alone," Vados said, shaking her head.
Vegeta: "..."
It was just a matter of making you eat shit.
Did you really have to get your daughter to leave me here?
"How about this? We just saw my older sister Kusu, right? I'll ask her to take you to Universe 10. Once I get back, I can come pick you up," Vados suggested.
"That sounds good," Vegeta said with a nod, offering no objection.
Universe 10 sounded fine.
My main goal is to train with a God of Destruction and an Angel, anyway.
It doesn't matter which ones.
Besides, Kusu, the Angel of Universe 10, is pretty cute.
"Then I'll leave you here and go see the Grand Minister right away," Vados replied. "I'll contact my older sister Kusu on the way and ask her to come get you. Don't wander off. This is the World of Void, and it's easy to get lost here."
"Okay," Vegeta said with a nod, offering no objection.
The Grand Minister must be jealous of my handsome looks, so he doesn't want to meet me.
Vegeta immediately climbed down from Vados and hovered there in the void of the World of Void.
"Goodbye." Vados waved and turned into a brilliant streak of light, shooting upward.
On the way, Vados immediately contacted Kusu through her Scepter.
"Vados?" Kusu asked, surprised.
We just parted. Why are you calling me already?
"Kusu, could I ask you for a favor?" Vados said.
"Go ahead," Kusu replied.
"The Grand Minister wants to see me. I don't know what it's about, but he told me to come alone," Vados explained. "I had Mr. Vegeta with me earlier, so I had no choice but to leave him in the World of Void."
