Chapter 280 (1/2)
When North Kai was brought to the Acceleration World by Muyang to develop the Kaio-ken, in the second headquarters of Frieza Forces, Frieza sat on the egg-shaped spaceship, with a grim face listening to the report of Zarbon's work.
These years Frieza had been through a lot of trouble. In addition to the harassment from the Galactic Patrol, there were also a variety of unexpected events to deal with.
Eleven years ago, he fought with the mysterious Shadow Man. Although the Shadow Man was finally defeated, which greatly increased Frieza's reputation, Frieza's headquarters planet was destroyed and relocated to the second headquarters.
The Ginyu Force was wiped out seven years ago, which left Frieza's hands missing a sharp edge.
A similar blow was inflicted on Cooler's Armored Squadron and King Cold's Strongest Squadron. The attackers appear to be the same group of people.
This was because the tree was so big that someone was targeting their forces!
Frieza had been investigating the cause of the Ginyu Force's destruction for several years, but the specific perpetrators never showed up.
The Ginyu Force was repeatedly wiped out, which already made Frieza angry. So, Frieza was uncomfortable without uncovering this mysterious force as if he was stuck in his throat.
”Zarbon, how does Slug control of that territory he occupied?” Frieza's scarlet eyes burst out of the compelling cold light.
Rumor had it that the ruler of the border area between the North Area and East Area had disappeared for many years for no reason.
Now, many predators with a certain amount of strength were aiming their attention at that territory. Frieza, who certainly joined them, was busy expanding his territory.
Zarbon truthfully reported the situation, ”Frieza Force collaborated with King Cold's Legion and has occupied a large area in the past few years.”
”Ho ho ho, finally we hear some good news.” Frieza narrowed his eyes, and his heart flowed much more freely.
”King Frieza…” Zarbon came forward and said, ”On the way to the edge of the North Area, my subordinate passed by a mysterious planet and found a magical fruit tree on it. The trunk of that fruit tree was huge. The branches and leaves were huge that it covered almost the entire planet.”
Frieza was very surprised to hear. He rubbed his chin and said, ”Do you know what kind of fruit tree it is?”
Zarbon reported, ”My subordinate was confused. After returning, I looked up a lot of information and determined that its name was ‘Tree of Might.”
Frieza was surprised, ”What is Tree of Might?”
”This Tree of Might is a kind of demon tree, very authoritative. Once rooted, it will absorb the entire planet's essence until the planet is completely desertification; even a small grass can no longer grow. The Tree of Might will condense dark red fruits. It is said that the fruit of the Tree of Might is a fruit that can only be consumed by gods…”
”Interesting. What is the effect of this fruit?” Frieza asked with interest.
”Because it is condensed from the life essence of the whole planet, it is recorded that the Tree of Might fruit can greatly increase the strength and life span of the person taking it!”
As soon as Zarbon's words were finished, Frieza was amazed and jumped up from the little spaceship with a pair of fierce scarlet eyes stared deadly at Zarbon.
Frieza had great power; for power, he didn't have too much pursuit, but if the Tree of Might fruit could really increase life expectancy, he was determined to get it.
”Are all these things you said true?”
In the face of Frieza's breathtaking pressure, Zarbon said, ”King Frieza, everything is true. I am sure that the giant tree is the Tree of Might.”
”Where is the exact location?”
”It is located in the southeast part of the North Area near the East Area region, on a living planet called ‘Planet Munster.'”
”Hahahaha, Mr. Zarbon, this is the best news I have heard so far.” Frieza laughed loudly and patted Zarbon's shoulder. ”If this news is true, I will praise you. When the time comes, you will also have a share of the fruit from the Tree of Might, Mr. Zarbon.”
Zarbon humbly said, ”Thank you for the reward, King Frieza.”
When the time comes, the Tree of Might fruit would definitely be a large share for Frieza.
However, to get a part of it, Zarbon was satisfied. He didn't want to take it for himself because he had seen the desperate power that Frieza showed and didn't think he could surpass Freiza after getting the Tree of Might fruit.
Zarbon was living under Frieza's command. Instead of risking a great deal of private possession of the Tree of Might fruit, it was better to contribute generously in exchange for greater appreciation of King Frieza.
Besides, the Tree of Might fruit was so important that even if Zarbon wanted to take it for himself, he felt powerless against the other forces eyeing it. It would be better for Frieza to shield it from the storm.
”Are the news all blocked?”
