Chapter 178 Despicable Means!
Even the audience and contestants around were in a panic, fleeing frantically. Even the staff members scattered, everyone was here to work, and they didn't want to find themselves in such a dangerous situation.
At this moment, no one cared about who the competitive eater was anymore, nor did anyone care who would ultimately win the prize money. Life comes first, love who you love. They just wanted to escape and ensure their safety. As for the rest, they could deal with it after ensuring their own safety.
"Robert, are you okay? Who is that guy?" Amidst the chaos, Kara rushed to Robert's side, not displaying any exceptional speed. She looked at Robert and whispered, "What were you guys talking about just now? I didn't hear anything..."
"You didn't hear?" Robert's eyes flashed with surprise. He had just been conversing normally with Gaia, yet Kara seemed to be blocked from perceiving. He didn't know if his own perception had been affected or if Gaia had formed some unique field of power.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's leave here first to avoid being noticed..." Robert quickly came to his senses, shaking his head. With Kara, he followed the crowd towards the exit, not displaying any extraordinary abilities. After all, he hadn't used any transformation technique to participate in the competitive eating contest.
Soon, when Robert and Kara left, the officials quickly regained control of the scene, retrieving various videos to search for clues.
However, if Robert and Kara were to see the video they were watching, they would be surprised. In the video, Gaia never approached Robert. She had been waiting at her seat for the results to be announced. Then, she suddenly disappeared when some staff members approached her.
The people around were shocked to see Gaia disappear in front of everyone, especially the staff who were close by.
In other words, Robert felt that he had completed a conversation with Gaia, Kara saw Gaia approaching Robert and saying something, but didn't hear any sound. As for the people around, they only saw Gaia suddenly disappear. Who actually saw the whole truth of the matter was hard to say...
"So, you speculate she's a deity? A girl is a deity? Not just an ordinary deity? You mean she's the kind of deity who controls universal power?" On the other side, after Robert left with Kara, he expressed his speculation about Gaia. Kara couldn't help but exclaim.
"A girl being a deity in the universe is rare?" Robert looked at Kara with some surprise, asking, "Have you seen other types of deities in the universe?"
Robert had a high level of acceptance towards deities. In the world of Dragon Ball, there were gods on Earth, Kings of the Four Quarters in various galaxies, Gods of Destruction and Angels, Great Priests and Dragon Gods above the universe...
So Robert felt it was normal for powerful deities to exist in this universe, especially after learning about the various divine systems on Earth from Diana.
"I've never seen that before. I didn't even think there were deities in the universe. I thought deities were just myths..." Kara murmured with a bit of uncertainty.
"How could deities be just myths... Huh?" Robert was about to talk about the various divine systems, but suddenly raised his eyebrows, sensing a familiar aura around them. It was Clark.
"Phew!" Clark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Robert and Kara. Originally, Clark didn't pay much attention to Robert and Kara coming out to participate in the competitive eating contest. He even suggested that Kara follow Robert out voluntarily. After all, this wasn't Europe, and it was a good opportunity for Robert and Kara to bond.
But Clark didn't expect to suddenly lose his perception of Robert and Kara. Not only could he not hear their voices, he couldn't see where they were either.
This startled Clark. After all, this wasn't some unknown area at sea; it was the bustling city of New York!
So after finishing his tasks, Clark hurried over. Even after seeing Robert and Kara on the way, Clark still felt uneasy. He needed to see Robert and Kara appear in front of him before he could relax.
"Are you guys okay?" Clark analyzed what had happened from the noisy surroundings and Robert's previous words. He looked at Robert and Kara solemnly and asked, "A universal deity? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Originally, Clark thought that there wouldn't be many things beyond his control on Earth. The crises Robert mentioned earlier were probably only for ordinary people, not him.
But now, the appearance of a suspected universal deity made Clark feel a sense of crisis. Because such an existence could deceive his perception, it could silently deal with his important people. Clark couldn't help but be vigilant!
Although this supposed universal deity looked harmless, Clark couldn't risk the lives of his loved ones at the whim of someone else!
"You probably didn't make a mistake. At least the pressure from that kind of life level is very strong!" Robert looked at Clark seriously and said, "Compared to when you release your power, the pressure is even stronger! Of course, this is a different kind of pressure from your powerful strength..."
If forced to distinguish between the two, it would probably be the difference between facing a Destroyer like Beerus and facing a powerful being like Jiren. One was the pressure of life essence, the other was the oppressive force on the level of power.
"I see. Next time you encounter such a situation, immediately call out my name!" Clark nodded solemnly. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly raised his head and looked in another direction. "Huh?"
"Huh?" At the same time, Robert also sensed something and looked at the direction Clark was looking, saying in surprise, "A talisman? A horse talisman?"
Robert was quite familiar with this faint power; it was the power of a horse talisman. After all, Robert had been studying horse talismans for quite a while.
"I was originally going to ask you to go back first, but now it seems you have something else to do. Remember the transformation technique, Kara, let's go!" Clark didn't intend to go over, as this was Robert's affair. Therefore, he looked at Kara and said.
"Or, should I dress up like you, wearing a uniform to disguise my identity?" Kara shrugged. It was always like this every time. Once something happened, without the transformation technique or a disguise, she had to leave. For this reason, Kara also learned the Sun Fist, but its effect was not as good as Clark's.
When Kara became Supergirl in the glory of the Sun Fist, she did quite well. But she didn't want to always hide herself by lowering her head and hunching her chest when she was Kara, so there wasn't much difference between Supergirl's costume and Kara's normal state...
"Wait until you can hide yourself before you think about wearing a costume!" Clark shook his head, rejecting Kara's suggestion directly, and forcibly took Kara away.
"Robert, be careful!" Kara watched as Robert transformed into Vegeta and hurriedly reminded him.
"I know, don't worry!" Robert waved his hand and disappeared from the spot.
The timeline shifted forward a bit, and the scene was set in Wade's laboratory. After several experiments, Wade endured tortures that ordinary people could hardly bear. Not only did he persist stubbornly, but he also incessantly provoked the experimenters.
As a result, after repeatedly beating up Wade, the experimenters chose to seal his mouth, but even so, Wade didn't yield. He expressed his dissatisfaction with his own body, while cursing Slade for not coming to rescue him.
Previously, Slade had called to check on him, but now that he was really in trouble, after waiting for so long without Slade's arrival, it was only because Wade persisted long enough. If he were like those ordinary people, he would have been dissected as experimental waste!
Yes, Wade had seen one failed experiment after another, becoming a patient discarded as waste. Moreover, it was precisely because Wade was special that he not only withstood round after round of experiments but also demonstrated powerful self-healing abilities, as if he had truly implanted the power of a horse talisman into himself. Otherwise, with Wade's incessant chatter, the experimenters would have killed him long ago...
"Boom!" Just as the experimenters continued their research on Wade, a explosion sounded in the laboratory. Then, a man in a leather uniform burst in. This man was none other than Slade.
When Wade saw Slade, his eyes lit up. Then, he sobbed, wanting to say something, but unfortunately, Wade, whose mouth was sealed, couldn't convey any useful message.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, two super soldiers rushed towards Slade, but Slade was obviously prepared. He snorted coldly and quickly engaged in combat with the two super soldiers. Even facing two super soldiers, Slade didn't fall into a disadvantage; instead, he used his rich experience to suppress the two.
But just then, the third super soldier pounced. When Slade was obviously a bit tired of defending, a glass cover descended from above, directly trapping Slade and the three super soldiers inside.
Seeing the glass cover, Wade closed his eyes helplessly. He knew that Slade and he had fallen into the same fate. But with his mouth sealed, Wade couldn't remind Slade, and he regretted not being less talkative earlier...
As Slade saw himself and the three super soldiers trapped inside the glass cover, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He thought this might be something like a gladiatorial arena, intending to determine life and death between him and the three super soldiers...
Even with Slade's extensive experience, he didn't expect the people here to be so despicable. Three against one was bad enough, but they even attacked their own people together! It was truly despicable!
As anesthesia gas injected into the glass cover, Slade's heart sank. He realized something was wrong and also saw Wade's helpless and resigned expression with closed eyes.
"Shit!" Slade cursed under his breath. He wanted to struggle a bit more, but when faced with anesthesia gas, his resistance was inferior to that of the super soldiers. In the end, both brothers met the same fate. Although they were skilled in playing dirty tricks themselves, they could only say that they often fell victim to such tricks...
Soon, Slade was also tied to the experimental table, right next to Wade. At the same time, the experimenters looked at Wade mockingly. "What's your relationship with him? You're the most special specimen we've ever seen. You're close to a successful experiment. We don't know if he can be as successful as you..."
At this moment, Wade really wanted to ask what would happen if they both succeeded, but the experimenters only mocked him, not giving Wade a chance to speak...
Today's chapter ends here, there will be an update during the day, don't miss it!
