Chapter 129: Silly Champa
Facing Vados's question, though Fuwa felt somewhat puzzled, he still honestly explained Turles and Broly's origins.
"Universe 7's apprentice Supreme Kai?"
As if hearing key information, Champa's attention finally shifted from the boiled Haust bird egg in his hands. He asked Fuwa with surprise.
"Yes, Lord Champa! Universe 7's Supreme Kai Shin has already appointed Turles-san as Universe 7's apprentice Supreme Kai. Last time they even attended the Supreme Kai assembly together!"
Seeing Champa finally recover from that broken egg, Fuwa didn't dare slack off, quickly responding.
"One of the two currently fighting is that apprentice Supreme Kai-san. I came to the God of Destruction Realm specifically to request Lord Champa's intervention!"
Champa remained noncommittal about Fuwa's request, yet showed a trace of interest in Turles, this apprentice Supreme Kai:
"I remember Universe 7's Supreme Kai was sealed away by Beerus. So this Supreme Kai named Shin actually managed to escape Beerus's seal? Looks like Beerus isn't very capable! Hahaha!"
However, Champa's focus wasn't on Turles at all. Instead, he launched into ridiculing Beerus.
Made sense—though Champa and Beerus were brothers, their relationship wasn't good. Rarely getting such an opportunity, Champa naturally wouldn't easily let it pass.
Watching the inexplicably laughing Champa, Fuwa opened his mouth, wanting to explain this Supreme Kai wasn't that Supreme Kai. But after seeing Vados gently shake her head, he could only swallow his words.
After laughing for quite a while and seeing neither Vados nor Fuwa laughing along, Champa's face flashed with embarrassment. That embarrassment immediately transformed into irritation.
Wanting to snap at Vados, but meeting Vados's smiling face, Champa's heart immediately faltered. He could only turn toward Fuwa instead.
"What's a Universe 7 apprentice Supreme Kai doing in Universe 6 anyway? Even if he dies in Universe 6, what's it got to do with you? Why come bothering me?"
This was Champa being completely unreasonable. Regardless, Fuwa was a veteran Supreme Kai. His respect for Champa was based on Champa's strength, but that didn't mean he was afraid.
After all, a God of Destruction's life was linked to their Supreme Kai.
So facing Champa's baseless venting, Fuwa's expression gradually darkened.
Seeing the atmosphere turning wrong, Vados timely intervened. She glanced at Champa, giving him a look that made Champa's remaining words stick in his throat. Then she showed Fuwa a smile:
"Fuwa-sama, Lord Champa only ate a bad Haust bird egg. Please forgive him!"
"Vados, I—!"
Hearing Vados's words, Champa objected. What do you mean the Haust bird egg was bad? He thought it tasted great—still the same familiar flavor!
Seeing Champa undermining her like this, Vados's delicate hand involuntarily gripped her staff tighter. The smile on her face nearly failed to hold.
"Who—there's killing intent!"
Suddenly, Champa shouted loudly. His face turned serious, bean-sized eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
Vados completely lost her composure now. Silently grinding her teeth, her gaze fell on Champa like a blade.
"Vados, do you sense it? There's killing intent! You must protect Fuwa's safety—absolutely can't let him die!"
Champa pushed Fuwa behind Vados with one motion, instructing seriously. He had absolutely no idea the killing intent he sensed came from the smiling Vados standing right beside him.
After doing this, Champa vigilantly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the hidden opponent.
Witnessing all this, Fuwa tried minimizing his presence as much as possible. Especially after seeing the smile vanish from Vados's face, his heart shuddered—fearing he might be silenced for knowing too much.
"Breathe! Don't get angry, don't get angry!"
After several deep breaths, Vados finally suppressed her fury. At this moment, Champa also sensed the killing intent's disappearance.
"Strange, why'd it disappear again?"
Champa scratched his head somewhat puzzled, turning to face Vados. But seeing Vados make no movements, he immediately felt somewhat dissatisfied, complaining:
"Vados, didn't I tell you to protect Fuwa properly?"
After speaking, Champa even moved before Fuwa, circling him once to confirm nothing happened to him before finally releasing a breath of relief.
Seeing Vados take another deep breath, her ample chest rising and falling, Fuwa quickly spoke first: "Lord Champa, I'm fine. Look, shouldn't we go check on that Turles-san now?"
While speaking, Fuwa even winked at Champa, giving him a meaningful look.
But Champa was like a complete fool, unable to grasp Fuwa's meaning at all. He waved dismissively at Fuwa, saying carelessly:
"A Universe 7 apprentice Supreme Kai—what's that got to do with my Universe 6? I'm warning you though—don't overestimate yourself and get involved carelessly. Watch out for collateral damage!"
By the end, Champa's expression turned serious as he solemnly warned Fuwa.
Facing such "concern" from Champa, what could Fuwa say? He could only nod repeatedly, showing a bitter smile.
"Fuwa-sama, since Lord Champa doesn't wish to go, please don't force him. Oh right, it's Lord Champa's training time. Will you stay a bit longer or..."
Vados didn't finish her sentence, but Fuwa understood the meaning. He swallowed his intended words. After giving Champa a look wishing him well, he bowed to Vados, then vanished from the God of Destruction Realm.
"Vados, doesn't that fatty Fuwa's final look at me seem somewhat off?"
After Fuwa left, Champa thought for ages but couldn't figure out what Fuwa's final look meant. He could only seek help from Vados.
Hearing Champa's words, Vados couldn't help examining this rotund purple fatty before her up and down, saying meaningfully: "Perhaps Fuwa-sama just politely gave you an encouraging look. You're overthinking."
"Really?"
Hearing Vados say this, though Champa still felt something was off, he believed Vados wouldn't deceive him. So he quickly tossed this question aside. Then as if remembering something, his eyes rolled. After sneakily glancing at Vados and seeing she wasn't paying attention, he tiptoed away.
"Lord Champa, where are you going?"
After walking quite far and discovering Vados still hadn't reacted, Champa covered his mouth and smiled, planning to eat more Haust bird eggs. But Vados's voice rang out at this moment. Champa's body immediately froze in place.
Before long, a miserable cry rang through the God of Destruction Realm.

Setting aside the God of Destruction Realm's affairs for now, currently Turles had fallen into difficult combat.
Right now, Planet Sadala was on the verge of shattering under their battle. Magma occasionally erupted from underground. The sky was completely gray, with lightning constantly streaking across.
Bang, bang, bang!
Collision sounds continuously rang out. Turles and Broly's figures constantly changed positions—here one second, appearing elsewhere the next.
As both fighters' energy poured out, Planet Sadala's situation grew increasingly dire.
Turles never imagined that just coming to experience Universe 6's Saiyans would result in destroying their homeland.
Most critically, Turles suddenly realized his few all-out battles were basically all against Broly.
Thinking this, Turles felt somewhat depressed.
Turles's thoughts were wandering, but Broly didn't care about such matters. He seized the instant Turles lost focus, a heavy punch smashing toward Turles's head.
"Not good!"
Fist wind struck his face. Turles recovered from distraction, but dodging was already too late. Turles could only barely tilt his head at the last moment.
Whoosh!
Struck by Broly's full-powered blow, even though Turles had avoided most of the force, his body was still sent flying.
After being knocked back, Turles didn't rush to stabilize himself. Instead, he retreated along with this momentum while releasing his senses to detect life auras on Planet Sadala.
Sensing all Saiyans on Planet Sadala had evacuated, Turles released a breath of relief. If casualties occurred on Planet Sadala due to him and Broly, his conscience wouldn't feel right.
Watching Broly charge toward him again, Turles's mouth corners slightly rose. He waved at Broly, then vanished from place under the other's astonished gaze.
Swish!
Broly stopped where Turles disappeared. His rolled-back white pupils constantly scanned the surroundings.
Though having lost rationality, Broly's combat instincts remained. He vigilantly watched his surroundings, searching for Turles's figure.
After searching for ages, Broly finally realized Turles had completely vanished. Having lost his opponent, Broly's emotions grew even more violent. After roaring once, he began unleashing energy blasts in all directions.
Soon, Planet Sadala—already on the verge of explosion—could no longer hold under Broly's assault.
A brilliant flash appeared in space. Then a shockwave spread outward in all directions. Whether space debris or meteorites, everything along the path turned to powder under this shockwave.
After the shockwave dissipated, the original Planet Sadala had completely vanished, leaving only ruins behind.
Unknown how much time passed before a figure appeared above the ruins. After glancing at the ruins below, following some kind of sensing, he departed in a certain direction.
---
Supreme Kai Realm. Turles's figure suddenly appeared.
The moment he appeared, Turles could no longer hold on. His body softened and he sat on the ground. His Super Saiyan form naturally deactivated automatically.
Huff, huff, huff!
Slumped on the ground, Turles breathed heavily. Sweat constantly dripped from his body. Before long, a puddle formed on the ground.
"Turles, are you alright?!"
Seeing Turles's somewhat disheveled state, Bulma—who'd been waiting at Supreme Kai Realm—immediately rushed over, supporting Turles's arm with a worried expression.
This was her first time seeing Turles so disheveled.
After catching his breath briefly, Turles finally recovered some stamina. Seeing Bulma's somewhat worried eyes, he waved at her with difficulty.
"Bulma, I'm fine. Just a bit exhausted. I'll be good after recovering."
After speaking, Turles leaned backward.
"Turles!"
Seeing this, Bulma immediately panicked.
But when she moved closer to check, she discovered Turles had already fallen into deep sleep.
"Whew!"
Seeing this, Bulma released a long breath. Her worry relaxed considerably.
She knew Saiyan physiology. Since there were no major injuries, just sleeping for a period would naturally restore him.
However, seeing Turles so exhausted, Bulma was still somewhat curious about what he'd done to become this tired.
Moreover, Broly hadn't returned with Turles.
"Could something have happened to Broly?"
This was the only speculation that flashed through Bulma's mind.
Thinking this, Bulma looked again at the completely unconscious Turles, silently praying in her heart.
Suddenly, Bulma seemed to remember something. She pulled out a capsule box from her pocket, opened it, took out a capsule, and tossed it into the distance.
Bang!
After the smoke dispersed, a massive machine appeared before Bulma.
Bulma walked before the machine. After operating it briefly, several mechanical tentacles extended from the machine, directly lifting Turles's body.
After lifting Turles, the mechanical tentacles began retracting. Soon they'd moved Turles's body into a healing chamber.
After Turles's body entered the healing chamber, Bulma fastened the oxygen mask over his face, then pressed the activation button.
As Bulma pressed the button, the healing chamber gradually closed, enveloping Turles's body. Bulma then took out a tube of red reagent, injecting it through a nearby injection port.
After the red reagent entered the healing chamber, restorative fluid began slowly filling inside. Soon it submerged Turles completely.
After finishing all this, Bulma looked through the glass at the sleeping Turles, finally completely relaxing.
Seeing Turles couldn't wake for some time, Bulma thought briefly, then pulled out her detector and began searching for Broly's location.
Swish!
At this moment, Fuwa's figure appeared at Supreme Kai Realm. Just appearing, his attention was immediately drawn by that massive machine before him.
Without disturbing Bulma, Fuwa carefully approached the machine, beginning to study it.
Before long, Fuwa deduced the machine's purpose. He looked at the sleeping Turles, already rapidly recovering, then at Bulma. His heart couldn't help admiring human ingenuity.
"Fuwa-sama, you're back?"
Just as Fuwa's heart filled with admiration, Bulma's voice rang out.
Turning around, Fuwa pointed at the healing chamber machine, his expression full of admiration as he asked Bulma: "You created this?"
"???"
Hearing Fuwa's question, Bulma felt somewhat confused. Logically, this healing chamber shouldn't catch a Supreme Kai's interest.
Previously, Turles had told her Supreme Kais possessed many miraculous abilities—whether healing or Instant Transmission and such.
With a trace of bewilderment, Bulma nodded.
Seeing Bulma nod, Fuwa grew even more excited.
As a qualified Supreme Kai, seeing humanity possess such wisdom, Fuwa felt very gratified. Regardless whether this human was from Universe 6, this still represented a Supreme Kai's achievement.
Moreover, only with more data could Supreme Kais create even more excellent life forms when creating planets in the future.
Thinking this, Fuwa could no longer worry about Broly's situation. Pulling Bulma aside, he began exchanging knowledge.
