Let Me Destroy This Planet!

"Swish!"

Rumsshi appeared in an instant beneath the Destruction energy released by Vegeta.

"Bang!"

Rumsshi swiped his hand, swatting Vegeta's Destruction energy away in a single motion.

"What are you doing?" Vegeta asked.

"Kid, can you let me finish my sentence?" Rumsshi bared his teeth.

"Speak," Vegeta said.

"I'm saying this planet is affecting the balance of the universe," Rumsshi stated.

"So I'm going to destroy it," Vegeta replied. "Nothing wrong with that, right?"

"What I meant was... this planet can still be saved; destroying half of it is enough," Rumsshi said with a dark expression. "Can't you wait for me to finish speaking before you release your Destruction energy, kid?"

"I was only destroying half. The intensity of the energy I just released was calibrated to destroy exactly half the planet; you're the one who stopped me," Vegeta said with a smirk.

"You... what did you say?" Rumsshi froze.

"It is true, Mr. Vegeta's Destruction energy would have destroyed half the planet while leaving the other half to develop," Cus analyzed.

Rumsshi: "..."

"Ahem... not bad, not bad. Your ability to grasp the essence of the technique is worthy of praise," Rumsshi laughed, at a loss for words.

"Move aside. I haven't destroyed a planet yet," Vegeta said, condensing another ball of Destruction energy.

Rumsshi was speechless.

This kid is really getting into it...

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta's Destruction energy whistled toward the red planet below.

This time, Rumsshi did not intervene.

On the red planet.

Two deities were guests in the courtyard outside the palace of the planet's ruler.

The ruler was serving them with the finest food and drink.

"Supreme Kai, please, have some tea." The ruler offered the cup with both hands.

"You are too kind," Supreme Kai Gowasu said with a smile, taking the cup and sipping it lightly. "Excellent tea, the flavor is quite pure..."

"If you like it, Supreme Kai, please take some with you when you leave," the ruler said hurriedly.

"Zamasu, you should try some as well," Gowasu said to his apprentice, Zamasu, standing behind him.

"Yes, Master," Zamasu bowed.

The ruler immediately poured a cup for Zamasu and offered it with both hands.

Zamasu took the cup and took a small sip, though his face remained expressionless.

"He is my apprentice, Zamasu. In fact, I have been considering retirement for some time now. Once I retire, my apprentice Zamasu will succeed me as the Supreme Kai," Gowasu told the ruler.

The ruler's attitude toward Zamasu underwent a 180-degree turn instantly.

Before, he had just assumed he was the Supreme Kai's subordinate.

He hadn't expected this man to be the future Supreme Kai.

The reason this planet had been able to develop to its current scale was inextricably linked to the favor of the Supreme Kai.

"Lord Zamasu, I look forward to your guidance in the future," the ruler said respectfully to Zamasu.

"Hmph. The humans on this planet have been at war for years; don't think I don't know that," Zamasu scoffed.

"This..." The ruler didn't know what to say, breaking out into a cold sweat.

"Master, the humans on this planet are constantly at war. Such ugly creatures should be purged," Zamasu said to Gowasu.

The ruler trembled, his face shifting through various shades of pale.

"Zamasu, we are Supreme Kais. Our mission is to watch over humanity silently and guide the planet toward a positive path," Gowasu admonished. "Do not speak such things again."

Zamasu remained silent.

"And you, as the ruler of this planet, you must do your best to prevent such wars. Do not wait until the conflict reaches a point of no return; when that time comes, I fear the planet will face total annihilation," Gowasu sighed helplessly.

"Yes... I will remember that, Supreme Kai..." the ruler replied hurriedly. "But I truly did not start the wars on this planet. Although I am the master of this world, my authority is limited..."

"Master, look, what is that?" Zamasu paused, suddenly pointing at the purple-red energy sphere appearing in the sky.

Gowasu looked in that direction as well.

"This... the color of this energy sphere... it looks somewhat familiar," Gowasu muttered, looking up at the sky.

"What? What is that?" The ruler suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

Above the starry sky.

Vegeta's Destruction energy had only just been released a short while ago.

"Oh my, oh my... Supreme Kai Gowasu is currently on that planet," Cus suddenly remarked.

"Y-you... what did you say?" Rumsshi's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Yes, Lord Gowasu is visiting that planet," Cus replied. "Judging by the trajectory of the Destruction energy Vegeta just unleashed, there is a good chance it will land right near Lord Gowasu."

A million alpacas stampeded through Rumsshi's heart.

"Whoosh!"

Without a shred of hesitation, Rumsshi took a deep breath and let out a muffled sound from his throat.

The sound wave whistled downward immediately, rapidly catching up to Vegeta's Destruction energy.

"Snap!"

Rumsshi's ultrasonic wave shattered Vegeta's Destruction energy into smithereens on the spot.

"Phew..."

Seeing that Vegeta's Destruction energy had been obliterated, the heart that had been hanging in Rumsshi's throat finally settled.

Thank goodness, thank goodness...

It's a good thing I reacted quickly.

Otherwise, if that Supreme Kai kicked the bucket, I would have vanished right along with him.

Why on earth is that old geezer of a Supreme Kai on this planet?

In the courtyard outside the royal palace on the planet below.

"It vanished..." the ruler of the planet stood stunned.

"What just happened?" Zamasu was also taken aback.

"That energy blast looked quite familiar just now... as if I've seen it somewhere before," Gowasu mused.

"Why did it disappear into thin air?" Zamasu frowned.

"It feels as though it encountered another powerful energy that destroyed the blast," Gowasu analyzed.

"Is someone up there?" Zamasu asked.

"Perhaps..." Gowasu nodded.

"Hmph, foolish mortals, running above the gods to engage in battle!" Zamasu's expression grew increasingly unsightly.

Above the starry sky.

Vegeta had released two consecutive energy blasts, both of which had been intercepted by Rumsshi.

Vegeta's mood began to sour.

What the hell!

Are you ever going to quit?

Vegeta let out a cold snort, pulled his hands from his pockets, and abruptly thrust them upward.
