Although Lott himself didn't care, it was indeed as he guessed.
There was a reason Rover had appeared from the underground headquarters of Monster Association.
Rewind time a few hours.
Monster Association's Headquarters.
A winged, fly-like monster shuttled through the waterways, arriving at a massive room.
On a giant seat resembling a beanbag chair sat a spherical mass of flesh with a single large eye.
This was the Monster Association's Chief of Staff, Gyoro-Gyoro.
The fly monster released the piece of meat it was holding with its tentacles.
Gyoro-Gyoro's two chubby hands used telekinesis to squeeze the meat chunk into a cube shape and toss it out.
In the next instant, a face with an oval shape, covered in cracks like a mummy demon, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the meat chunk.
"Becoming food for Orochi-sama is the final use for these guys..."
Gyoro-Gyoro muttered to itself.
If Genos or Tatsumaki were here-
Looking closely, they would recognize these meat chunks as the monsters they defeated this morning.
'Lott... Boros... Frieza... Troublesome guys keep appearing one after another. How should the Monster Association act? Is it best to wait until they fight and then reap the benefits?'
Gyoro-Gyoro pondered in its heart.
The Monster Association leader, [Monster King] Orochi, was a monster beyond Dragon-level created by it.
But although powerful, it hadn't yet reached planet-destroying level.
Leaving aside Boros, whose full abilities were still unknown-
Frieza was definitely a planet-destroying level monster.
Under these circumstances, no matter how confident Gyoro-Gyoro was in Orochi's abilities, it didn't dare act rashly.
After some consideration, Gyoro-Gyoro decided it was best to lay low for now.
They'll just wait until Lott finished fighting either Frieza or Boros.
Once one side lost their fighting capacity, it might find an opportunity for Orochi to devour them.
Thereby completely breaking through to planet-destroying level.
'First, issue orders to the monsters. Recently, avoid getting too close to City A, Lott's territory. Catching that man's attention prematurely would be troublesome.'
Just as Gyoro-Gyoro was pondering, the base suddenly shook with a heavy thud.
The exaggerated shaking caused the ceiling to crack, and countless small rocks rained down.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Gyoro-Gyoro's expression changed slightly.
At that moment, a bipedal rat-like monster rushed into the room, reporting:
"G-G-Gyoro-Gyoro-sama, n-no good! The executives are rebelling!"
Gyoro-Gyoro's face changed dramatically, immediately activating its Clairvoyance ability.
Under the Clairvoyance surveillance, Gyoro-Gyoro found that several Dragon-level executives of the Monster Association had blasted a large hole in the ceiling from the base.
They were preparing to leave, one after another.
When Gyoro-Gyoro spotted the executives with Clairvoyance, Rover was the first to jump out through the hole.
"Hey! Homeless Emperor! Black Sperm! What are you trying to do!?"
Gyoro-Gyoro used its telepathy to shout sternly.
Homeless Emperor, who looked little different from an ordinary human in his tattered clothes, heard this and said with a face full of mockery:
"Nothing much. We just don't think it's necessary to stay under you anymore."
"What did you say!?"
Gyoro-Gyoro's expression grew increasingly grim.
"What he said is right. We joined you purely because we were interested in this so-called monster-ruled society you wanted to build, and because we felt staying in the Monster Association offered more chances to get stronger. Just those two reasons."
Black Sperm, with an antenna sticking out of its head and the size of a small monkey, sneered:
"Now, both those goals can be achieved by other means. Naturally, we don't need to take orders from you anymore."
"What..."
Gyoro-Gyoro secretly tightened its grip on the armrests of its seat.
Black Sperm spread his hands, "You saw it in the chat group too, right? The Dragon Balls, they're truly a treasure. They can grant any wish, how splendid~"
"If we get our hands on that thing, we can have anything we want. Why waste time under you?"
Gyoro-Gyoro cursed in frustration:
"Fools! Have you forgotten Lott just used the wish? Have you forgotten the five-year cooldown for the Dragon Balls?"
"We still need to start looking for them soon. After all, first come, first served. See ya~"
As the words fell, multiple Dragon-level executives, like Homeless Emperor, Black Sperm, Fuhrer Ugly, Elder Centipede, and the others, left one after another.
…
Deep underground, 1500 meters below the Monster Association's headquarters.
In a luxurious room resembling a star-rated hotel.
On the sofa, a beauty with a slender, curvaceous figure, wearing black-framed glasses and having long, wavy blue hair, was reclining.
However, her beautiful face was currently contorted with fury.
The Monster Association's Vice-Leader, Gyoro-Gyoro's true body, Psykos!
Smash!
In her rage, Psykos shattered the wine glass filled with red wine on the floor.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I knew these guys were always up to no good! But to betray me at a time like this!!"
"What to do next... Originally, the Monster Association's combat power wasn't enough to fight planet-destroying beings. Now we've lost most of our Dragon-level monsters... Is my dream going to be crushed here?"
Psykos bit the tip of her thumb with her teeth, talking to herself.
In Psykos's view, humans were nothing more than beings who only knew how to eat, drink, defecate, and roll in bed every day, pointlessly increasing in numbers without any meaning, inferior even to 'insects'"
To this end, she founded the Monster Association, recruiting powerful monsters, and personally created the current leader of the Monster Association, Orochi.
Originally, she was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the humans above ground to completely take over this planet.
Psykos even planned to become Planet Terra itself.
But she never expected Lott, Boros, Frieza... these monsters to appear one after another!
"There's no other way! I can only further expand the number of monsters!"
After some thought, Psykos made what she currently believed was the best, and only, decision.
After all, aside from Orochi, her only trump card was the Monster Cells that could turn ordinary people into monsters.
She'll just use this method to turn more ordinary people into monsters and see if she could nurture new Dragon-level monsters quickly this way.
Even if she couldn't, it didn't matter… at least they could serve as food for Orochi.
The above is the reason why Rover appeared at Shuchi'in Academy.
