Countless group members, who had originally been worried about whether their own planets could survive the calamity brought by Cell's arrival, were completely dumbfounded after consuming the gossip about Kagura Chizuru.
'You could play it like that?'
"Another candidate for Trunks's mother has been added."
Bulma, watching the excitement from afar on Planet Terra, happily munched on a cake her mom had just brought over.
Since coming to Planet Terra, she found the entertainment was never-ending. Lott's life was even more dramatic than those TV dramas back on Earth.
The Briefs couple exchanged a glance beside her, hesitating whether to tell Bulma their inner suspicions.
Trunks's pale lavender hair looked exactly like a mix of black and blue hair. Moreover, the Briefs had noticed that Lott visited Capsule Corp quite often and was quite close to their daughter.
But compared to the passion of romantic love, the two found that Lott and their daughter interacted more like kindred spirits. This was very perplexing... they also wondered if they should intervene or not?
[Zenitsu: Unfair! This is so unfair! Why does another super beauty throw herself at him? Why won't Nezuko accept me yet!?]
[Kocho Shinobu: @Zenitsu, Ara ara~ Zenitsu-kun, you should give up on the idea of having a girl bear your child. Your genes aren't really necessary to pass on anyway.]
[Charles Goodshow: How come I never thought of this before? If Lott were to have a child, it would inherit the universe's strongest bloodline, capable of becoming a guardian deity for a planet, no, an entire galaxy, hmm...]
Charles Goodshow, the president of the Pokémon League, fell into brief contemplation, and then-
[Charles Goodshow: @Cynthia, Cynthia, you go for it!]
[Cynthia: ...Piss off!]
But to be honest, after consuming this piece of gossip, Cynthia's impression of Lott had also changed to a certain extent.
Being on good terms with Erina, Cynthia had sided with Erina regarding the previous incident between Lott and Alice. She thought that scumbag Lott had no standards and would eat anything. Yet this time, he actually spit out meat delivered to his mouth... no, practically shoved down his throat?
Glancing at Kagura Chizuru's face, crafted as if by divine hands and not inferior to her own, and her curvaceous figure, even more impressive than Cynthia's own, which even the thick, wide shrine maiden robes couldn't conceal, Cynthia secretly sighed.
'It seemed that guy Lott did have some bottom line.'
If Lott knew that his act of rejecting Kagura Chizuru could actually earn him praise, he would be utterly speechless.
No wonder they say a good person must undergo ninety-nine eighty-one hardships to attain Buddhahood, while a wicked person can become a Buddha instantly just by laying down their butcher's knife.
Planet Terra, in the Nakano Quintuplets' apartment.
Nino had a few black lines hanging from the corner of her eye. She suddenly grabbed Miku's hand and pulled her towards the bedroom. "Come with me!"
"W-what for?" Miku was startled.
"To teach you how to seduce a man!" Nino said irritably. There were too many easy sluts giving themselves away that she felt she could no longer stay put.
…
[Goku: @Lott, Um... Lott, something's come up here. Can you tell me what I should do?]
The mention from Goku suddenly drew the attention of the entire group.
"Huh?" Lott raised an eyebrow, signaling for Goku to start a video call.
The video call opened. They could clearly see Goku standing with a group of Lighthouse's residents, including the Hunter Squad. The surroundings were littered with monster corpses. This was entirely expected, as anyone could guess these lowlifes couldn't possibly trouble him.
The others around, both Upper and Dust's citizens, were staring at Goku with rapt attention, as if they wanted to cling to him whole. They had witnessed it with their own eyes just now.
Those monsters with earth-shattering power were like toys in Goku's hands! This was the power of a universe-class expert!
"What's the situation? Don't tell me there's some monster you can't handle?" Lott asked as he sat down.
The rejected Kagura Chizuru secretly glanced at Lott, biting her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, then secretly patted her friend's perky butt from behind.
"Mai, you go for it!"
"Ah?!" Shiranui Mai was dumbfounded.
In the video, Goku replied, "This old man says he hopes I can take everyone to live on Earth. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he pointed to an old man clad in a black robe with graying hair. It was Morgan, the current City Lord of the Lighthouse.
Hearing this, Lott's eyes immediately narrowed into slits.
Feeling Lott's gaze through the screen, Morgan and the surrounding Lighthouse's residents shivered involuntarily, averting their eyes to the side. They didn't dare meet his gaze.
Lott said calmly, "I've already said, I don't care what you do. But the people on that planet are basically ingrates. Saving them will only bring forward the future that will happen to you."
Hearing this, Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, and other members of the Z-Fighters immediately remembered what Future Trunks had told them about how Goku died in the future… killed by an enemy named [Majin Buu].
But what angered Future Trunks wasn't Majin Buu, but the Earthlings' accusations against Goku, blaming him for not defeating Majin Buu. And now Lott was saying this, didn't that mean the people of the Planet Ling Cage would...
But Lott saying this wasn't without reason. After all, the ending of Goku in the future timeline was quite similar to Mark's ending. The only difference was probably that Goku didn't turn to the dark side and cause destruction, and he didn't care about others' opinions of him.
…
Hearing Lott's words, Morgan's face turned pale. After learning that Goku also knew Instant Transmission and had come to their rescue as he hoped, he knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change their fate… to have Goku use his Instant Transmission ability to transfer the entire Lighthouse's population to live on Earth!
However, he never expected that after he made this request to Goku, the seemingly pushover Goku didn't immediately agree. Instead, he consulted Lott. And Lott's perception of their people... didn't seem too favorable.
"Lott-sama seems to have some prejudice against our planet. Although we don't possess the immense power of people from other planets, we struggle for survival every day. We are definitely not as despicable as you claim!" At that moment, a brawny man even half a head taller than Goku stepped forward to protest.
The on-site crowd and the spectating group members in the chat were shocked. Holy shit, someone actually dares to question Lott? Did they not know what happened to that Sawanaga Taisuke in the group before?
Just because of a careless remark, he got offline PK'd by Genos and Ishigami. After that, even perverts like Kazuma and Zenitsu became much more cautious in their group chats, afraid of offending Lott, or rather, Lott's lackeys.
Who would have thought someone would dare to publicly question Lott?
Seeing the man who stepped forward, Lott didn't show the slightest anger. Instead, he couldn't help but laugh.
'Mark. Sure enough, just like in the original work, an extreme idealist. He actually didn't die facing all those monsters earlier.'
"Lott-san, should we kill this guy? Or perhaps... wipe out everyone on that planet?" Ishigami interjected.
Hearing this through the light screen, the Lighthouse's residents around Mark subconsciously shivered.
When Genos and Ishigami went to kill Sawanaga Taisuke and Makoto Ito before, although the Hunter Squad was on the surface collecting supplies at the time, the other people on the Lighthouse saw it clearly.
And many Dust citizens living on the Lighthouse had no entertainment, so browsing the group chat was their favorite pastime. They had no doubt that Ishigami wasn't just saying it, and he really dared to do it! And don't think being on a different planet makes you safe.
Even without Instant Transmission, they could come over in a spaceship in no time!
