"How did it feel to fight the black dragon?"
Seeing Vegeta return, Beryl asked with great interest.
"What feeling could there be from a guy with a combat power of around 1000?" Vegeta sneered.
If not for the black dragon's somewhat strange magic, Vegeta estimated that the black dragon's combat power would probably not even reach 1000.
"Yes, even with that combat power, Vegeta, you couldn't kill him."
"What do you mean?" Vegeta frowned.
"His body was destroyed by you, but the black dragon's soul escaped through some kind of magic."
"You mean… he can still come back to life?"
"This is a world of magic," Beryl explained, "In your Universe 7, due to the laws of the universe, souls that die directly enter the underworld."
"But it's different here. As long as a soul separates from the body, or a part of the soul separates from the body, before death, then it is still considered alive and can possibly be resurrected."
"Resurrection would also come at a great cost, and would even be very troublesome."
"However, this isn't a big problem for Acnologia. As long as he has enough time, he can completely restore the body you pulverized."
"Tch… troublesome fellow." Vegeta's expression was extremely sour.
He, the dignified Super Saiyan, was actually played by a guy with a combat power of around 1000.
"Where is that guy now?"
A soul, huh? It's not like the group doesn't have techniques that affect souls.
With his talent, could he not learn one or two in an hour or two?
"Leave this matter to Zeref; after all, this is his world." Saying this, Beryl took out a small pendant, "Here, take this."
Vegeta subconsciously took the item Beryl handed him.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, just taking it was the right thing to do.
"What is it?"
"What if I said it's a token of love?"
She casually cast an invisible soundproof barrier around herself and Vegeta.
Vegeta: "???"
"I have a wife, and my child is about to be born." Vegeta's face turned red as he threw the pendant back.
This pendant must have some special use, otherwise Beryl wouldn't have deliberately given it to him.
But he couldn't take this thing.
It was a hot potato.
Besides, he, Vegeta, was not such a casual person.
"Vegeta, I thought you would accept it gladly. Aren't you also freeloading off Bulma like this?"
"Th-that's Bulma, she…" Vegeta trailed off, not finishing his sentence.
How could he explain it? Should he say that he, the dignified Saiyan Prince, was taken down by an Earth woman?
"I'm just kidding, no need to be so conflicted. Besides, I am a noble single aristocrat, unlike you, a Saiyan Prince who is henpecked."
She placed the pendant back in Vegeta's hand and said:
"Don't worry, Bulma won't kick you out of the house. This pendant is a safeguard I specially gave you because I was worried you'd be too reckless and lose your life. It might save your life when you're in danger."
Vegeta was stunned, and his brows couldn't help but furrow. After a long time, he finally asked:
"W-why did you specifically give me this?"
Is the Group Leader paying too much attention to him?
Although Super Saiyan is strong, Vegeta also felt that he was very strong.
However, that depends on who he was compared to.
Compared to the Group Leader, Super Saiyan and the other group members were no different; they were all weaklings that the Group Leader could easily deal with.
Beryl saw Vegeta's expression and a smile played on her lips: "Because you often call yourself Super Vegeta and get beaten up by others, I was worried you might get killed one day, so… well, you understand!"
Vegeta: "…"
Understand what? Where did I get beaten up?
Even that time on Namek, it was all part of my plan, and I even had Senzu Beans, so it doesn't count as Frieza beating me up, okay?
Vegeta wanted to say something to refute, but Beryl had already canceled the barrier and left. Watching her retreating back, the words Vegeta was about to say got stuck in his throat.
He looked down at the crystal pendant, like agate, lying quietly in his palm.
He had a sense of déjà vu.
Vegeta thought about it and still put the pendant away.
No matter what, what if it really could save his life?
Besides, anything given by the Group Leader wouldn't be an ordinary item no matter how he thought about it. Even if he took it back for collection, it would probably have considerable collectible value.
Aizen and the other two had already returned, and Zeref had also returned here.
After the gathering continued for a while, the sun gradually set over the cliff.
"Then the gathering ends here. If there's a chance, we'll hold it again next time. I'm sure everyone gained a lot today."
Beryl clapped her hands together, and a huge teleportation gate, over ten meters high, appeared.
"Walk through here, and you can return to your own worlds."
The group members didn't doubt her and walked into the teleportation gate one after another.
After the others left, Beryl waved her hand, disintegrating Tenrou Island in the alternate dimension.
Beryl and Zeref descended to the real Tenrou Island.
"Thank you very much." Zeref suddenly said.
"You noticed, but the black dragon and such still need to be handled by yourselves."
In a short time, it would be difficult for the black dragon to recover his original strength, so Zeref had plenty of time.
She had sent Vegeta over to give her younger brother a chance to show off.
Moreover, with Vegeta's fighting style, it was unlikely he could kill the black dragon. Of course, if he could kill him, it wouldn't matter either.
Everything was as Beryl had expected: before the black dragon died, his soul separated from his body and escaped.
Because he escaped before being killed, the black dragon was still in a living state, and with his abilities, he could fully repair his lost body.
A teleportation gate appeared behind Beryl. She thought for a moment and said to Zeref:
"You should be able to notice some emotional things now. Perhaps you should respond to the thoughts of the demons you created."
"Zeref, I look forward to your future growth."
"Then… farewell."
Watching the teleportation gate disappear, Zeref looked at the sky and murmured:
"Responding to thoughts, huh? I seem to have been a bit too demanding of those demons."
…
Universe 10, God of Destruction Realm.
Beryl lay on the lawn.
"Holding a special gathering to prevent Vegeta from messing up in the Androids Saga, I really do create work for myself."
The Spirit Tree fruit and the pendant given to Vegeta were both specially made by Beryl.
To avoid touching the laws of the Universe 7 and alerting the Universe 7 angel.
She even had Kusu check it once, and only after it was confirmed to be fine did she bring it over.
There was no other way; Vegeta in the Androids Saga was really too arrogant, so she had to find something to give him as a protective charm.
"It should be somewhat useful, right?" Beryl thought of the protective charm pendant, "I hope Vegeta won't have to use it."
