The voice inside the long robe was extremely vexed. No matter how strong her abilities were, trying to control a character who would not be born for another thousand years across the vast universe was extremely difficult. One only had to think about it to know that this required consuming a massive amount of spiritual energy. Since she currently had no body, her spiritual aspect was like water without a source; every bit of energy used was a bit lost. It could be said that what she lacked most was energy.
If there were no such person, or if this person had no relation to Ino, then the bewitchment skill would not have been released at all. But as it happened, there was such a person, and this person was extremely closely linked to the target. This was awkward!
The skill was released, and it nearly drained one-tenth of her energy.
Theoretically speaking, this bewitchment skill was successful, but of what use was it to her? Would a person named Haruno Sakura from a thousand years in the future appear on Planet Plant to save her?
The existence inside the long robe was about to explode with rage. She had spent half the day exerting herself, offering comfort, and blathering about tea plantations, thinking her scheme was working, only to end up being played like a fool.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" She no longer concealed her malice. The long robe continuously emitted a black energy shield, defending against the laser rounds while fiercely charging toward the main door.
The chi-chi sounds of lasers were incessant. The space pirates' spaceship had evidently put quite a bit of thought into imprisoning this robe; the angle and density of the laser fire could continuously upgrade in response to the robe's resistance.
Ino subconsciously retreated two steps, applying various states to herself, including the Rinnegan's hypnotic resistance effects, before she began to think of a countermeasure.
Was this fellow actually a Supreme Kai? How did she become corrupted into this ghostly state? And... Sakura wouldn't be in any trouble, right?
The Supreme Kai robe dashed left and right within the laser chamber. Initially, it could defend effectively, but as it defended, it became unable to hold on. The clothes were too large, and the lasers were too dense; in its haste, it simply couldn't rush out.
Ino had tested the reality of this defense system when she threw the tea leaves. At this moment, she sneered twice. "Can't rush out? Even those space bandits could see you harbored malicious intentions, yet you wanted to deceive me? Idiot!"
The long robe dashed left and right, but the laser beams became increasingly dense. Finally, they formed light screens like walls from the front, back, left, and right. If the robe moved even a bit, the lasers would advance an inch, squeezing the robe's activity space little by little.
"Tsk tsk, the power of science is still quite strong... Ah, oh crap!" Just as Ino uttered two words of praise, she saw the lights inside the spaceship flicker rapidly. From south to north, the lights quickly extinguished. Although the backup power was activated very quickly, re-accessing the energy took time.
A gap more than a person's width appeared in the four laser walls of the laser chamber. With a swish, the Supreme Kai robe rushed out of the encirclement.
One second later, fiery red laser beams filled the room once again. This piece of clothing, which already looked riddled with gaping wounds, chose to ignore them. It allowed the lasers to strike the fabric, blasting out countless holes; even the hem and the left sleeve were torn to shreds as it rushed out of the secret chamber in one breath.
"Die!" Ino stood at the doorway and raised her hand with a sword strike.
Her base battle power was currently 15,000; after using Kaio-ken x4, it was 60,000. Her opening move was a full-power strike.
The clothes opened up like an octopus, seemingly intending to swallow Ino directly.
The long robe had underestimated the sharpness of the Hero's Sword.
With a sharp, crisp rip, the blade cut a half-meter-long gash directly from the collar to the right rib.
"Ah!" The existence parasitizing the long robe let out a cry of pain. The head-on blow from this sword was no less damaging than the accumulated damage from all the previous lasers.
Seeing that this sword strike had nearly split the robe from top to bottom, she immediately retreated.
At this moment, the long robe looked incomparable miserable. The ancient apparel was pitted and hollowed; that was all from being hit by the laser beams.
The two sides reached a stalemate for several seconds. The long robe seemed to realize that Ino was not to be trifled with. Once it broke free, it fiercely smashed through the spaceship and rushed toward the sky.
Ino: "...!"
Just that? I thought you were incredibly strong?!
Although she didn't know if this guy was truly the West Supreme Kai, she had already offended it to the death, so she definitely couldn't let it run away.
Ino flew out in pursuit.
Five seconds later, she discovered that she actually couldn't catch up to the other party. Seeing that the thing was about to fly out of the atmosphere, she acted.
"Rinnegan: Pressure!"
"Rinnegan: Time Freeze!"
Ino used every method at her disposal. It was just a tattered robe comparable to a beggar's outfit; what was the big deal?
Now that this thing was smashed to bits, it could still hard-tank a whole heap of her eye techniques. If it recovered to its prime, would she stand a chance?
Don't say you're a Supreme Kai—the two sides were already enemies. Even if you were the Grand Supreme Kai, you'd still have to die now!
The old Tuffle retreated repeatedly. He looked up and realized that Ino and a tattered piece of clothing were entangled together.
The old man was confused. What was this situation?
Ino signaled for him to hide further away. This tattered clothing might choose Old Berry as a host. "Quick! Leave here, quick!"
"How, how did it turn into this?"
Ino was speechless for a moment. Encountering danger, you don't think about how to run, but instead want to get to the bottom of things? Your heart is truly big!
"Run! I'll explain to you later! Tell your clansmen to stay far away from here!"
Ino finally persuaded the honest-to-a-fault old Tuffle to leave.
The Supreme Kai robe tried several times, discovering that Ino had many methods and that, in its haste, it simply couldn't fly out of the atmosphere. It then changed its thinking.
The energy inside the robe gathered together, quickly forming a humanoid phantom.
She looked to have red lips and white teeth, with silver hair and exquisite features. Aside from that robe being scandalously tattered, this Supreme Kai was full of heroic spirit, just like a determined and brave female warrior.
However, the so-called determination and bravery changed flavor after reaching an extreme. Her entire body radiated hostility. Different from Vegeta's cruelty and tyranny, her aura still carried the pride of a Supreme Kai.
"You definitely aren't willing to reveal your name. That doesn't matter; I am indeed the West Supreme Kai, Leila. Our meeting process was not very friendly. How about this: seeing your appearance, you are also a long-lived race. Lend me your body. I swear on my honor as a Supreme Kai that I will return the usage rights of your body to you in one hundred years. During this process, all the power obtained will be yours. How about it? You can see the gap between you and me, right? Are you willing to make a transaction with me again?"
The other party not only used verbal swindling but this time also employed the threat of force.
Ino frowned tightly.
This guy... was very weak while inside the robe, but after condensing into a human form, it was instantly different.
According to her current judgment, she was very strong!
She had no body, her soul had suffered trauma, and she might have drifted for millions of years. Just now, she had been ravaged by lasers and the Hero's Sword in turn. Yet, the remaining energy—or more directly, her battle power—was still above Ino's.
With at least seventy percent certainty, Ino determined that this guy's true body really was the kind of Supreme Kai who could crush Frieza with "one finger."
