Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Culinary Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 457 The Death of Darius, and Broly the Water Emperor!

Chapter 457 The Death of Darius, and Broly the Water Emperor!

Broly settled down at the Water God Style Dojo, receiving personal instruction from the Water Goddess Leta Lia, absorbing the Water God Style knowledge she imparted like a sponge.

"I think you're more suited to the Sword God style than the Water God style."

After only three days of instruction, the water goddess Lydia could tell that Broly was not very compatible with the Water God Style. Despite his extremely high talent for swordsmanship, she felt that he would achieve greater success if he studied the Sword God Style.

"Teacher Leda, is it possible that I've already learned everything about the Sword God Style in other reincarnations?"

As Broly spoke, he used the wooden sword in his hand to perform a few simple and unadorned light sword slashes in the air in front of him.

"You've already been to the Sacred Grounds of the Sword and visited that guy, the Sword God Gar Farion?"

Leda asked the question.

"I've visited him. Just last week, I received swordsmanship instruction from Master Gal. In just ten days, I completely absorbed all of Master Gal Farion's knowledge of the Sword God Style and surpassed his Sword God Style swordsmanship in a direct confrontation."

Broly did not deny it, but instead gave a detailed account of what happened during the last period of his life in the previous cycle.

"I really envy your ability to go back to the past with your memories intact."

"This is not my ability, but the Dragon God's ability. I was just sent back along with it."

"You're stronger than him and can easily take him down. What difference does it make whether his abilities are yours or not? You can use them anyway."

The water goddess Reda waved her hand and said enviously, "If I could possess this ability, perhaps the Water God Style's techniques could continue to climb higher."

"Unlike now, as I get older, my body is gradually declining from its peak. I estimate that in the future, at most I will become more proficient in the Water God Style, but it will be impossible for me to surpass my current self by much."

Sigh, this future that I can see the end of in the blink of an eye is truly disheartening...

The head of the Water God Sect crossed his arms and looked mournful.

"Here comes the real show, she wants to ask you for a favor."

As the myth of the little man faded away, the still-charming water god made a request: "Broly, I have a favor to ask, but I don't know if you can grant it?"

"Tell me, Ms. Leta, what do you need me to do for you? I'll help you with anything I can do."

Broly didn't really mind this kind of thing. If the person in front of him treated him sincerely, he would treat them sincerely in return.

"Broly, I will teach you all my Water God Style techniques. But I hope that when the next cycle begins, you will teach the techniques I taught you to me in the next cycle. I want to raise the upper limit of Water God Style techniques in this way, before my physical condition completely declines."

Leda, being able to become the water goddess, also had a certain pursuit of raising the upper limit of her fighting style.

Of course, she herself also wants to reach even greater heights in the Water God Flow.

"That's no problem. However, I need to explain to Teacher Leda beforehand that I always return in September of the 407th year of the Ankylion calendar."

"Only half a year?"

"No, it depends on when the Dragon God contacts me. In this cycle, I can stay for a maximum of seven ninety-plus days, plus a little over fifteen days."

Broly reveals the remaining time in the ninth playthrough.

"Two years?"

Leda nodded.

"Not two years, but at most two years. If the Dragon God finds me earlier, I might go back sooner."

Broly corrected her.

"Well then, Broly, before you go back to the past, please come here to find me. I will update my understanding of the Water God Style and teach it to you."

"No problem, Leda-sensei. However, gaining your trust in the next timeline always requires a certain method. Do you have a way to help me quickly gain your trust in the next timeline?"

"You can challenge me with the Water God Style swordsmanship, defeat me, and the loser will always listen to the victor."

"But my Water God Style swordsmanship doesn't seem to be your match right now."

Broly was in a dilemma.

"It's only a matter of time before you surpass me. Even though you and the Water God Stream don't get along well, your learning ability is too strong. I have that feeling."

The water goddess Leda Lia was even more confident than Broly.

"Okay, but this should be a long-term task, right? I feel a little bad for you, Teacher Reda, having to make you lose every time."

"Haha, I am a swordsman after all, so I don't care too much about this kind of thing."

Besides, in the next playthrough, I probably won't have the memory of my defeat in this playthrough.

So, it's perfectly fine.

Alright, Broly, let me continue teaching you the Water God Style.

The water goddess Lyda Lia began to teach Broly again. She swung her sword, and Broly followed her movements, swinging his sword according to the techniques she explained for generating power and the circulation of fighting spirit.

Even swordsmanship geniuses need repeated practice to gradually master the profound swordsmanship of the Water God Style. Broly only needs to learn two or three moves to be able to imitate it reasonably well, and then gradually become proficient until he masters it and adjusts it to the best state that suits him best.

Having a teacher and not having a teacher are two different things. Broly could fully feel that his Water God Style swordsmanship was growing stronger at a rapid pace.

"Thank you for your guidance today, Ms. Lieda."

Broly, imitating what the other disciples of the Water God School would say to their swordsmanship instructor after finishing their daily training, spoke to the Water Goddess Lyda Lia in front of him.

"No, I've also benefited a lot from some of your ideas and techniques for circulating battle qi. We've been guiding each other."

Broly was no ordinary student. Although his swordsmanship was not as good as hers, he had a unique understanding of fighting spirit. During the process of guiding him, the water goddess Leta Lia also gained many new insights, and did not completely assume the role of a teacher.

"By the way, I heard you posted a strange meet-and-greet request at the Adventurers' Guild?"

After exchanging greetings, Lydia asked the question, revealing that she had only heard about it that day.

"yes."

Broly nodded.

"Who are you looking for? If you need help, I have some connections in the capital."

The water goddess Leda was willing to offer some help.

"I'm actually looking for someone who might become my wife's conquest target."

Broly made no attempt to conceal his purpose.

"Huh?!"

Lydia's eyes widened; she hadn't expected to hear this answer.

"Isn't it a bit too early for you to be looking for a wife at your age?"

Although there is no such thing as a virginity enhancing cultivation in this world, it is true that male swordsmen who are exposed to women too early often cannot reach a very high level, and this is what Leda wanted to express.

"Early? It's not early at all. On the contrary, I've searched multiple times and traveled to places like the continent of Milis, the continent of magic, and the Dragon Kingdom of the central continent, but I still haven't found it. This is quite troubling for me."

"Um, do you have any special requirements for your future partner?"

"Leda Lydia asked."

"Only one special requirement?"

"What?"

"Recognized by my Crystal Palace."

Leda was somewhat puzzled, so Broly explained the situation of the Crystal Palace to her. After learning that Broly wanted to find a target not for physical pleasure but for other reasons, the water goddess Leda said she would help him.

"Although it was just a gathering of women from the lower and middle classes of nobility."

Lieda Lia still has influence. If a tea party is held in the name of the Water God, many nobles of the Asura Kingdom who want to get in touch with her, the Water God, will be willing to send their ladies to attend.

"Thanks, Professor Leda."

Broly did not refuse.

While practicing the Water God Style swordsmanship with the god as his sparring partner in his dream that night, Broly asked the god, "God, do you know any way to make Retta-sensei in the next timeline believe me without me having to lift a finger?"

"Well, of course we have that."

"What method?"

"Why don't you just reveal personal information that only the water goddess Leda herself knows?"

"If I ask Professor Leta about my personal privacy information, will she tell me?"

"Why bother asking her directly? I already know about her situation."

"You know?"

"Broly, my future vision can see not only the future, but also a person's past."

"You're really impressive," Broly complimented, then asked, "So tell me, what should I say to make Ms. Retta believe me in the next timeline?"

"It's very simple. When Leda Lia was young and just a disciple of the Suijin-ryu school, because she came from a commoner background but didn't know how to restrain her genius, she offended some nobles who were also practicing swordsmanship at the Suijin-ryu dojo..."

When she was being beaten by the servants of nobles and was about to have her tendons severed, thus losing her right to wield a sword, a noble boy of even higher status saved her, and she developed feelings of love for him as a result…

"Huh?"

Broly was somewhat taken aback, never expecting to hear gossip about the water goddess Leda's love life in her youth from the mouth of a god.

"Will this be of any use? Even I have heard of Professor Leta, and her deceased husband."

"Who told her husband that he was the one who saved her and made her feel like a young girl again?"

The little god asked in surprise.

"Isn't that right?"

Broly asked the same question with surprise.

"I'm telling you, Broly, this world doesn't always guarantee that lovers will be together forever. Besides, the love between the water goddess Leta Lia was just wishful thinking when she was young because she was saved. And the high-ranking nobleman who casually saved her swordsman career doesn't even remember who she is."

At this point, the god paused before continuing, "Of course, if they knew now, they would shamelessly come over to curry favor, and might even try to take advantage of the situation by asking the current water goddess, Leda, to do something for them."

"What can I do?"

Broly looked at the god with a puzzled expression.

"For example, political bargaining chips, lovers, and the like."

The god held up one finger and spoke earnestly.

"What's the problem?"

"Of course there's a problem. That guy is now a complete scumbag. Even among the nobles of the Asura Kingdom, who are known for their perverts, his tastes are still considered disgusting."

Broly, can you believe it? That man actually enjoys toying with women from noble families, especially young girls, and uses his power to coerce lower-ranking nobles into offering their young daughters for his amusement.

Or they might secretly send out gangs of thieves to kidnap young girls from other noble families, then imprison them in their own basements as slaves for their own lust.

Once they get tired of playing around, or when they might be exposed, they will not hesitate to kill to silence witnesses and destroy all evidence.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the kind of guy who was actually loved by the water goddess Leda Lia when she was young."

Broly had already put on a stern face.

"Do you want me to tell Ms. Retta in the next timeline about this?"

he asks.

"I didn't say that, but you can bring up this past event to make Lyda Leah believe you."

The god smiled, but it contained a wicked thought; He knew that Broly hated nobles with vile sexual interests.

"Alright, but now tell me, who was the guy that Ms. Reda liked, and where is he now?"

"His name is Darius, a high-ranking nobleman of the Kingdom of Asura, and he is currently..."

The god revealed Darius's information, but this was actually paving the way for his future self, because Darius would plan the kidnapping of the Bereas family's daughter in the future.

Although it didn't work out, it's possible that in some future playthrough, you might just happen to run into the kind-hearted Saiyan boy who happens to be passing by.

Now, He has proactively provided Broly with information about Darius. Given Broly's personality, he will definitely treat Darius like trash and kill him casually in the next playthrough.

This would prevent the kidnapping of the Boreas family's daughter in the future, thus reducing the likelihood that Broly would notice the other party.

The more the god thought about it, the more he felt he was a genius at scheming, but outwardly he calmly asked a question: "Broly, why are you asking about the other party?"

"I want the other person to live on in Teacher Leda's beautiful memories."

In early May of the year 408 of the Ankylion calendar, a shocking murder of a noble occurred in the capital city of Asura, Darius, one of the high-ranking nobles, was hacked to pieces in his own home. Also hacked to pieces were his steward and a gang of thieves who had handled numerous kidnappings.

After Darius's death, some of the crimes he committed came to light. Suddenly, a group of lower-ranking nobles in the Kingdom of Asura spoke out for their young daughters who had been abused by Darius, and denounced Darius.

Some were genuinely seeking revenge, while others were after the wealth and territory of the Darius family, using the kidnapping of their daughter as a pretext to launch a frenzied attack on the Darius family.

In less than half a month, the king of the Asura Kingdom and his nobles had divided up Darius's family.

Broly, who killed Darius, gained a deeper understanding of the noble character of the Asura Kingdom simply by listening to the daily tales of the little god.

Simply put, the nobles of the Kingdom of Asura are a group of hyenas who appear glamorous on the surface.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Broly; he was simply practicing the Water God Style swordsmanship under the guidance of the Water God every day.

Now, after arduous training, his Water God Style swordsmanship has finally reached the divine level. Although he still cannot easily defeat the Water Goddess Leda Lia under equal conditions, he is now able to fight her to a standstill.

"I have nothing more to teach you for now, but I have a feeling that my Water God Style will advance further after I go into seclusion, but this is not something that can be done in a short time."

"Teacher Leda, I will come back once a month. If Orstide comes looking for me, I will come to you in advance."

Broly made his promise, and when the water goddess Leda heard this, she smiled, feeling that her wholehearted teaching during this period had not been in vain.

"Broly, here you go."

She took off her waist knife and handed it to the boy in front of her.

"This is?"

"Your graduation gift."

"I already have a sword."

"The King Dragon Sword is not suitable for the Water God Style, but my sword is."

"But if I take it away, what will Teacher Leta use?"

"I am currently teaching disciples in the dojo and rarely fight with others. Rather than letting this knife gather dust with me, you should take it and let it shine."

Of course, if time could truly be reversed, this knife would eventually return to my hands, albeit in the hands of my past self.

Leda laughed as she said this, and again urged Broly to accept her gift.

"I will make good use of it."

Broly put away the sword and bid farewell to the water goddess Leda Lia.

As he was about to leave Yars, he was stopped by someone.

"Lord Broly, the Water Emperor, please become Princess Ariel's guardian knight."

That's what the visitor said.
