Chapter 2487

I've noticed a very subtle pattern... whether it's the old Hou Jue or One-Way Passage.

They're both recognized African members of the guild!

Could this be a welfare bonus the guild is giving to Africans this time?

Nyaiko: "Hmm! There's even this kind of trick?"

Nyaiko: "Wait...! I'm also an African in the guild! Why didn't I get the quest?"

Nyaiko immediately became displeased.

Kill Teacher: "It might be because... this quest has only two slots for participants, excluding the leader."

Kill Teacher fell into thought.

Nyaiko: "No! Rather, the old Hou Jue and One-Way Passage might have originally been Africans! Even African chieftains."

But now... they've betrayed Africa! They've defected to Europe's side."

Nyaiko: "Our enemy, the Emperor-Seal—though detestable,

the most hateful are traitors! The old Hou Jue and One-Way Passage are now... traitors!"

I am the Hou Jue: "Hmm? You mean you have an issue with me?"

The old Hou Jue slightly narrowed his eyes, sneering at this.

He believed that if Nyaiko had a chance to sneak into the Emperor's camp,

she wouldn't hesitate for a single moment.

Nyaiko: "...... Old Hou Jue, even if you threaten me, I won't submit to your tyranny!"

One-Way Passage: "What if I join too?"

Nyaiko: "...... My deepest apologies!"

If it were only the old Hou Jue, Nyaiko wouldn't fear much—but with One-Way Passage added... Nyaiko decided kneeling was the better option.

Bai Jing Heizi: "...... Scary! Is the old Hou Jue really that low-status?"

I am the Hou Jue: "......"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Provocation, stubbornness, kneeling to apologize—all in one flow."

Nyaiko! A hero among the demonic gods!"

Su Han clicked his tongue but said nothing further on the matter, stating directly:

Su Xiao Xiao: "Since the quest participants have been chosen, we should depart now."

Sun Wukong: "Mm-hmm! I'll wait here for you."

Su Han opened his eyes, stretched his body, and nodded to Ram and Lei Mu seated at the same table.

"... Aren't you going to finish breakfast first?"

Ram glanced at the breakfast on the table, her voice tinged with melancholy.

"It won't take long to eat breakfast!"

Su Han fell silent, then devoured his breakfast in three quick bites.

Then he stretched out lazily.

He clicked "Join Quest"—a brilliant light flashed, and Su Han vanished from beside the table.

A few breaths later, Wugeng Liuli, still in her pajamas, arrived at the table, glanced around, and sighed softly, "Has the Demon Lord already left?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Ram's voice was calm.

After a moment of silence, Wugeng Liuli sat down beside the table.

She began eating breakfast too.

...... In the Seven Dragon Balls world, on Master Roshi's island.

Master Roshi, carrying his massive turtle shell, paced heavily back and forth in the room.

"...... This is a real mess!"

Master Roshi muttered, "A perfect-level Cell capable of destroying planets—with the power to absorb."

"Don't worry too much, Master Roshi."

Sun Wukong gobbled down the mountain of food before him, mumbling, "I mentioned this in the guild earlier—the others said as long as I stay normal, it shouldn't be a problem."

According to the guild's speculation, Cell plans to wait until Sun Wukong grows close to his own level, then absorb him to maximize his own enhancement.

In other words, right now, before Sun Wukong has grown, Cell would never attack him—indeed... if Sun Wukong faced a lethal threat during this time, Cell might even intervene to help.

After all, he can't let his own crop die before harvest.

Master Roshi opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He felt something was subtly off, but couldn't tell what exactly: "Guild... and Cell? Interesting. You knew I existed?"

A cold, deadly voice suddenly echoed in the room: "Tell me—how did you learn of me?"

The room fell utterly silent.

Then, Master Roshi and Sun Wukong turned stiffly—and saw Cell, arms crossed, his tail flicking gently, observing them with interest.

"......"

Master Roshi finally understood what was wrong.

Precisely because Cell valued Sun Wukong so greatly, when Sun Wukong destroyed the mechanical flies, he might have come to check.

And if he came to check, trouble was inevitable.

Even ignoring Sun Wukong's earlier slip of the tongue—Sun Wukong's current strength has surged far beyond the original timeline...

In this new Great Demon King era, Sun Wukong has already reached Super Saiyan mode... unless the transmigrant Cell is an idiot, he'll notice something's wrong the moment he looks.

As Master Roshi pondered how to deceive Cell with words, Sun Wukong tensed his entire body—terrible aura erupted, his hair instantly turning golden.

His gaze burned with fierce battle intent as he growled, "Cell! Let's settle this once and for all."

Master Roshi: ""

At this moment, Master Roshi's eyelid twitched; he was already hopeless.

This idiotic disciple—can't he see the enormous gap between them? What good is bursting into Super Saiyan mode? This only makes the opponent notice more anomalies! It might even stir thoughts of devouring you.

"...... Super Saiyan! Indeed, something's very wrong."

Cell murmured; his figure vanished with a swift whoosh, followed by a sharp crack—Sun Wukong let out a cry of pain.

He was crushed directly beneath Cell's foot.

Cell's tail swung back and forth in the void.

"Should I devour you or not?"

Cell fell into thought: Sun Wukong was clearly far weaker than him; even if devoured, the enhancement would be negligible.

But clearly, Sun Wukong was now slipping beyond his control.

So young, yet already this powerful... And now that Sun Wukong knows of Cell's existence, if he truly lets him go... the future might yet turn against him.

As he pondered, Cell's eyes grew cold; he murmured, "Enough... I'll eliminate you outright. As for prey to devour and grow stronger... the future Vegeta! True Super Saiyan! Frieza."

Too many... too many...

Not worth the risk!"

His sharp tail rose high, aiming at the writhing Sun Wukong.

Just as Master Roshi clenched his teeth, every muscle taut, preparing to charge and fight to the death—

A mocking, defiant laugh rang out: "Fool—who gave you permission to lay a hand on him?"

"...... Sodom's Eye!"
