Broly was still drinking the Battle God Water mixed with Sprite.
Immediately after, Raditz stepped forward, put his arm around Broly's shoulder, then pulled out a bottle of Fanta, and finally coaxed and tricked him into leaving the ring.
"Hmph, winning a match through such methods, don't you feel ashamed?" Vegeta said with a look of disdain, rolling his eyes repeatedly.
"Hehe." Raditz chuckled, leaning closer to Vegeta and whispering, "Your Highness Vegeta... If I didn't cheat like this, the final match would be between Your Highness Vegeta and Broly."
Vegeta's body trembled violently, the corner of his eye twitched fiercely, and his expression became extremely ugly.
What you say seems quite reasonable.
After I eliminate Merus...
The final match... I would compete against Broly.
Then I would lose miserably.
Actually, this current situation is quite good.
In the final match, it will be me versus Raditz.
That way, I can win easily.
The championship is mine!
The legendary Super Saiyan experience card is also mine, Vegeta's!
Vegeta's heart surged with emotion, he was extremely excited.
"Raditz, you are very brave!" Vegeta smiled arrogantly, patted Raditz on the shoulder, and flew towards the ring.
Merus glanced in Vegeta's direction but said nothing.
"Merus, go for it!" Jaco cheered Merus on from the side.
Merus turned his head and smiled.
I can't go all out anymore!
I should lose the second match.
That way, I will compete with Broly for third place.
As long as I defeat Broly, I will be third in this tournament.
I can not only obtain the Battle God Water but also boost our Galactic Patrol's reputation, without being too high-profile.
It's literally a move that achieves three things at once.
Merus stepped onto the ring, facing Vegeta.
"Hmph, Galactic Patrolman!" Vegeta snorted, his expression somewhat disdainful.
Merus smiled politely and said nothing more.
"As we can see, the two competitors are Mr. Merus, an elite member of the Galactic Patrol, and His Highness Vegeta, the former prince of our Saiyans!" Alisha explained to the live audience.
Vegeta's face darkened.
Could you not introduce me separately?
Is there anyone on this planet who doesn't know me?
"Who will achieve the final victory between these two? Let's enjoy the second match of the semifinals!" Alisha announced loudly, "The match begins!"
As soon as the words fell, Vegeta unleashed all the energy he had been holding back.
Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, Vegeta swiftly charged towards Merus, launching a flurry of punches and kicks at him.
Merus easily dodged, evading all of Vegeta's attacks.
However, Vegeta wasn't obsessed with hitting Merus. After a few exchanges of attacks, he leaped backward, putting some distance between himself and Merus.
Merus was slightly taken aback.
"No matter what, you just can't get hit, right?" Vegeta's lips curled upward, forming a faint arc.
"Yes." Merus nodded, feeling a bit of a headache at the moment.
What should I do?
How can I lose this match without showing my true abilities?
I performed too impressively in the first match.
Bardock couldn't even touch me. If I let Vegeta hit me, wouldn't that be a bit inconsistent?
Just as Merus was feeling conflicted, Vegeta continued speaking.
"Hmph, just because Bardock couldn't hit you doesn't mean I can't. I have a way to eliminate you!" Vegeta snorted coldly, his smile growing even brighter.
"Is that so?" Merus was slightly startled.
"Boom!"
Powerful energy immediately surged from Vegeta's body.
The energy acted on the ring on the spot, instantly shattering the entire ring.
The residual energy waves spread outwards, stirring up layers of storm.
Merus' eyes lit up, quickly understanding Vegeta's intention.
You're trying to use an area-of-effect attack to force me out of the ring.
What a great opportunity!
Merus made a decisive decision, directly controlling his body to slide backward, pretending to be unable to withstand the force, crossing his arms to protect his head.
"Thud!"
Merus' feet slid outside the ring.
A large cloud of dust rose on the scene.
"Did Vegeta win?" Kale asked excitedly.
Soya didn't speak. Instead, he turned his head to look in another direction, his eye twitching slightly.
On a nearby set of stairs, there was a very pretty girl holding a scepter, watching the ongoing match with a smile.
The girl had silver-white hair tied into a cute ponytail, wore angelic attire, and had an angelic halo around her neck.
It was Merus's sister Vados, also the Angel of Universe 6.
Soya hadn't noticed when Vados arrived.
She was still freeloading food and drinks on some planet earlier.
You got here way too fast, didn't you?
Soya just glanced in that direction briefly before withdrawing his gaze.
"What's wrong, Soya?" Kale also looked towards Vados's direction, murmuring curiously, "Huh? That girl's outfit is so strange! But her figure seems pretty good... Should we have her attend to you tonight?"
Soya: "..."
Immediately after, Soya nodded vigorously.
Having such a considerate queen, it couldn't be more satisfying.
Usually, you manage my harem, which I think is quite nice.
"Really? You actually like her? Her skin is blue, can you bring yourself to... you know?" Kale pouted and snorted.
"Negative emotional value from Kale +666!"
Soya: "..."
Hypocritical woman!
"Just think of it as eating blueberries." Soya chuckled, not caring at all, even smacking his lips.
Kale: "..."
Blueberries?
Your choice of words...
"Negative emotional value from Kale +777!"
"Out of bounds!" Alisha announced loudly, "Just now, contestant Vegeta released powerful energy, completely destroying the ring. The shockwave also spread over a small area and affected contestant Merus! Even though contestant Merus possesses unique evasive abilities, when faced with this kind of wide-area attack, he could only be regretfully eliminated."
Merus: "..."
Regretfully?
That word is a bit excessive.
"Hmph, success!" Vegeta's smile grew even more triumphant.
"Not bad." Merus nodded at Vegeta.
"How about it? With my large-scale attack, your dodging skill was rendered useless, right?" Vegeta snorted, grinning happily.
"You win." After uttering these three words, Merus turned and walked away.
Vegeta followed behind, beaming with joy.
"Vegeta won?" Kale was stunned, turning to look at Soya, "Soya, this Ultra Instinct of Merus isn't all that amazing, is it? Against group attacks like Vegeta's, he couldn't dodge them."
