Amidst the bewilderment of the Dark Matter Pirates, the crying and roaring of the Honest father and son, and Esdeath's eager gaze-
Lott, on the other end of the video, suddenly said:
"Let's fight on a different planet."
"...Why?"
Boros was stunned for a full half minute before barely managing to regain his composure.
"This planet is too crappy."
Lott's face showed indescribable disdain.
Of course, his suggestion to Boros to change planets wasn't to save scumbags like Honest and Syla.
He simply thought the Planet Teigu was too terrible, completely unsuitable for tourism.
Yes, for Lott this trip, fighting Boros was secondary.
The main purpose was to take Miku on a trip, and warm up a bit before his fight with Frieza.
Therefore, Lott wanted to find a planet with good culture and environment as much as possible.
The best would naturally be utopian planets with simple folkways like the Pokémon or Isekai Worlds.
Failing that, planets like Gintama or Inuyasha, which were chaotic on the surface but barely passable as dating spots, were also acceptable.
But the Akame ga Kill! was just too awful, right?
It's probably only slightly better than post-apocalyptic planets like Ling Cage or Attack on Titan.
Both the surface and the core were utterly rotten.
Even just in terms of scenery, it offered no advantage over Planet Terra.
Why would he go there?
Not to mention that Empire was filled with scum, teeming with beasts.
Forget about disgusting himself, Miku would probably be traumatized after one visit.
From this perspective, it was even worse than Planet Ling Cage or Planet Titan.
At least those post-apocalyptic planets didn't have as many beasts as this place.
The Planet Teigu truly had almost everyone except the main cast being beasts.
…
Boros, who was already confused by Lott's request to change planets, became even more bewildered after hearing his so-called reason.
'Damn it!'
'Not suitable for tourism?'
'Are you fucking treating me like a tour guide!?'
"No change! Get over here now!"
Boros cursed in furious frustration.
"I said I'm not coming, so I'm not coming. Find a planet with better scenery and send me the location."
After saying this, Lott didn't give Boros a chance to refuse and directly ended the call.
"Lott, you bas-"
Boros didn't even have time to finish the last word before the screen went black.
Boros was so angry... Thankfully, the Universe Chat Room was a virtual light screen.
Otherwise, he would definitely smash the chat screen with one slap right now.
…
Inside Lott's spaceship.
After ending the call, Lott slipped his hands under Miku's armpits, lifted her slightly, and rested his chin on her striking pink hair.
"It's a bit cramped in the spaceship, huh..."
Lott felt a bit awkward bringing this up.
Originally, his spaceship was a single-seater.
Having two people squeezed together was already quite tight.
So now, trying to perform various 'maneuvers' was just awkward.
For Miku's first time, the difficulty was a bit high.
Miku shot Lott a look of shame and anger, then opened her small mouth.
She directly left teeth marks on his shoulder.
Then, angrily buried her face in his chest.
One could only say this girl's personality was too soft, as even her anger wasn't the least bit scary.
"Are we changing locations?"
After her shyness subsided slightly, Miku half-lifted her head in Lott's chest and asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Yeah, that place isn't fun, and there are quite a few perverts."
Lott nodded.
"Are there any perverts worse than you?"
Miku muttered even more quietly. Soon, she couldn't suppress the rising drowsiness.
Once again, she buried her face in Lott's chest and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hmm?"
Looking at the sleeping Miku, Lott brushed his hand over her face and suddenly remembered something.
'Wait, that planet might not be completely worthless.'
…
"That bastard-"
In the Imperial Capital's palace, Boros's state was exactly like Frieza's after his argument with Lott two months prior.
In his furious roar, Boros suddenly raised his foot and stomped down heavily.
Honest, who was lying on the ground with only half his body left, only saw a large sole rapidly enlarging in his field of vision.
Rumble rumble!
The next second, the ground for dozens of miles around the palace heavily sank downward.
As for Esdeath and her Three Beasts subordinates, who were only a hundred meters away from Boros, needless to say-
They witnessed Boros stomp down with their own eyes.
Not only did he stomp the remaining half of the Minister into minced meat, but his angry stomp didn't just cause physical damage… space itself rippled, and the entire Imperial Capital shook violently.
Among the Three Beasts behind Esdeath-
Nyau, who looked like a young girl but had a cruel personality, enjoyed dissecting corpses and collecting women's faces, and Daidara, who had a violent personality and enjoyed torturing opponents to mental breakdown during battles before killing them, both collapsed onto the shattered floor.
'Th-This is... a true powerhouse from the universe?'
The last of the Three Beasts, the older and more mature Liver, was slightly better off than the other two, but only by a little.
He was also kneeling on one knee, his black suit completely soaked through with cold sweat.
'So… so terrifying. Is this a true powerhouse?'
Unlike her terrified subordinates, although a drop of cold sweat trickled down Esdeath's forehead, her beautiful face showed an unbearably excited smile, and her right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at her left waist.
"General!?"
Liver looked at his master in disbelief.
Nyau and Daidara had the same expression.
Although they knew Esdeath's personality, wasn't she being too audacious?
'Couldn't she see the gap in power even after this?'
"This is how it should be... The weak being killed by the strong is only natural... I've long grown tired of crushing those worthless weaklings. I've been waiting for a truly powerful opponent. If I'm killed here, then so be it..."
Esdeath muttered to herself excitedly, even ecstatically.
Her body began to tremble due to extreme excitement.
When Boros's ship first arrived at the Planet Teigu-
Esdeath, having just finished the northern expedition, was still in the land of the foreigners in the far north.
After learning about the Empire's situation through the chat group.
Esdeath decisively left her 600,000 troops on the northern battlefield.
She herself led her main force, the Three Beasts, back to the Imperial Capital.
On one hand, Esdeath was genuinely good to her own people, knowing that even if these 600,000 soldiers returned, they wouldn't change the outcome of this battle.
Moreover, bringing so many people back would take too long.
On the other hand, Esdeath herself longed to fight the powerhouses from the universe!
She was tired of always beating up small fries.
"B-Boros-sama... What should we do next..."
Geryuganshoop, one of Boros's three top fighters, mustered his courage and approached.
"Let me witness the gap between me and a universe powerhouse!"
Before Boros could answer, Esdeath at the palace entrance suddenly drew her sword.
The palace floor and red carpet were instantly covered in ice.
Esdeath, like a figure skater, her high heels scraping against the ice, turned into a blur as she charged at the Dark Matter Pirates.
The moment she swung her sword, a hundreds-of-meters-tall giant iceberg erupted from the ground, piercing through the palace ceiling and crashing down towards the enemy in an inverted triangle shape.
Similar to the move Diamond Jozu used against the Marines during the Summit War.
"Huh?"
Geryuganshoop glanced sideways.
'Are all the humans on this planet this stupid?'
He activated his telekinesis, which is similar to Tatsumaki's.
The hundreds-of-meters-tall iceberg instantly disintegrated into dust, evaporating into white mist in the air.
However, Esdeath behind it still had fanatical eyes, swinging her sword to continue the attack.
Geryuganshoop confirmed this person was just an idiot and prepared to use telekinesis to crush Esdeath into mincemeat.
But at that moment, Lott's video call came through.
The first second the call connected, Lott saw... well, he saw the space alien attacking Esdeath.
"Don't kill her."
Hearing the three words Lott shouted, Geryuganshoop was momentarily stunned, his telekinesis not activating immediately.
