"Jaco, you did not participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?" Soya shifted his gaze to Jaco, smiling as he asked.
"I am not participating!" Jaco refused decisively, waving his hands in panic, "I am a peace loving race, not interested in fighting."
"Tch, clearly a coward." Kale gave Jaco a sideways glance.
Jaco was just about to retort, but after remembering the other's status, he immediately shut up.
She is the Queen after all!
I better not talk back.
Otherwise Soya will use me as a toilet.
Frieza is the best example.
"By the way Merus, come take a look at this gourd." Soya said, immediately taking out the Purple Gold Gourd and casually handing it to Merus.
Merus was slightly startled, took the gourd, and turned it over for a look.
"I heard you are very knowledgeable, can you see what is special about this gourd?" Soya asked with an expectant look, smiling.
"It seems very sturdy, the material is very unique... I have never seen such a strange material before." Merus gently tapped the gourd, felt the unique material, and was a little surprised.
"See if you can break this gourd." Soya inquired.
"Huh? Break this gourd?" Merus was stunned.
Soya nodded lightly.
If this gourd can be broken even by Merus, then it's not very meaningful.
Anyone weaker than me, I can just kill with one slap.
Anyone stronger might be able to break the gourd and escape.
Even if this person is sucked in, it wouldn't be very useful.
"Soya, with your high combat power, are you unable to break this gourd?" Jaco was very strange, asking from the side.
Merus also looked up at Soya, wanting to hear what he would say.
"Yes, I cannot break it." Soya nodded.
"If you cannot break it, even less so Merus, Merus does not have such high combat power." Jaco shook his head, clearly not very confident in Merus.
"Member Jaco is correct, if even you, Soya, cannot break this gourd, I am afraid I am also powerless." Merus nodded in admission, a smile on his face.
"Try it, perhaps through a peculiar force it can be broken." Soya said with a smile.
"Alright then, I will try." Merus took a deep look at Soya, feeling a bit strange inside.
Does he already know my identity?
It shouldn't be.
My identity is well hidden.
Moreover, few humans know about Angels.
Merus applied force secretly, attempting to break the gourd.
However, something that surprised Merus happened; he used all the power he could in the human world on the gourd, but the gourd remained completely motionless, without even a single crack.
Merus was a little shocked, and looked over the strange gourd again.
Should I try using a bit of Angel power?
No, no!
Why am I competing with a gourd?
"It's no use." Merus withdrew his power, shaking his head gently.
"Let me try, let me try." Jaco suddenly became interested.
"Okay, Jaco." Merus nodded to Jaco and was about to hand him the gourd to try.
"Mhm." Jaco showed an excited face.
Such a fun thing, I want to try too.
"Ah..."
But, just as Jaco had just agreed with that sound, his entire body immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke, instantly drilling into the gourd.
Merus widened his eyes, showing a face of shock.
What happened?
This gourd sucked Jaco in?
Is this thing so magical?
Jaco: "????"
Jaco was first confused for several seconds, and only when he reacted did he realize he was in a pitch black space.
Looking up, Jaco quickly noticed a circular exit in the sky.
What's going on?
Where am I?
Soya: "..."
Kale: "..."
The two covered their faces.
That unlucky Jaco!
"Hey! Jaco?" Merus moved close to the gourd's opening, staring inside with one eye.
"Me... Merus?" Jaco was stunned, hearing Merus's voice.
"Are you okay?" Merus asked nervously.
"Where am I?" Jaco asked with a terrified face.
"You seem to have been sucked into the gourd." Merus wiped his sweat.
"You... what did you say? Sucked into the gourd? Are you joking?" Jaco was astonished.
But Jaco looked carefully and indeed saw Merus's one huge eye, staring at him from the position of the gourd's opening.
Jaco sniffled, wanting to cry.
"Jaco, wait a moment, I will try to get you out." Merus comforted him, then looked up at Soya again, "Soya, what is going on?"
Soya: ...
Soya's heart tightened, he shut his mouth and did not answer.
Right now the gourd is in Merus's hand.
If I answer, I might get sucked in too.
"It's fine, you'll get used to it." Kale's beautiful eyes moved, and she quickly answered for Soya.
"Soya, how can this gourd suck people in?" Merus looked bewildered.
Soya's face darkened, he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Merus, you guy, why do you keep saying my name for no reason?
Doing this... I could easily be sucked in.
"Yes, yes, this gourd is just that magical." Kale once again answered the question for Soya.
Merus was taken aback, looked at Soya, then at Kale, looking very strange.
I am asking Soya a question, why are you answering so enthusiastically from the side?
"Kale, does this gourd belong to you?" Merus turned the gourd over, speaking to Kale.
Kale's pretty face flustered, she quickly bit her lower lip, not saying a word.
"It's mine." Soya took over the conversation.
Merus: "????"
What is going on with you two?
When I ask Soya, Kale answers.
When I ask Kale, Soya answers.
Can you please not play like this?
"Let me see, let me see." Kale had a quick wit, immediately stepped forward and snatched the gourd.
Seeing the gourd in Kale's hands, Soya's hanging heart finally settled down.
"Merus." Kale opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Here." Merus nodded in acknowledgment.
Soya: "..."
Oh no!
This is trouble!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Merus turned into a wisp of green smoke, instantly disappearing into the gourd.
Soya was astonished.
It can even absorb an Angel!
This gourd is simply invincible!
However, Soya's heart was also panicking.
Is this gourd of yours so powerful that you want the Grand Priest to crush me to death?
I just used the gourd to absorb his son...
Pah, it wasn't me who absorbed him!
It was Kale who did it!
It has nothing to do with me!
No, no, but she is my Queen!
What a disaster!
