Chapter 740


Dio shook his head and threw a piece of cloth for Ruzie to cover herself up. 


“You are Ruzie, right? Ad.Pierian?” Dio asked to confirm his information when Ruzie struggled to stand back up. 


“Yes, is this the first time you have come to our planet?” Ruzie asked as she noticed so many differences between Dio and any other outsider.


“Why do you say that?” Dio asked.


“Aside from the outsider that comes for the first time, anyone who lives here will choose to run away as soon as 2 Ad.Pierians fight, but you choose to stay and watch.” Ruzie stated her reason. She still had a faint glimmer of pride on her face, but she couldn’t hold out any longer as she immediately fainted after that.


Dio shook his head immediately as he had to admit that Ad.Pierian really was a strong and unforgettable existence, but unfortunately, they weren’t invincible! The Ad.Pierian that he saw today had many weaknesses! Low fertility made them low in number, and they didn’t seem to understand how the universe worked that well either.


“Do you know about Vegeta and Sun Wukong?” Dio blatantly asked as he recognised some resemblance between Heike’s transformed form with Dragon Ball Saiyan’s transformation. 


“What? How do you know those people? Vegeta was Heike’s father, but his mother wasn’t called Wu Kong, she was Goku!” Ruzie said confusedly. Dio was shocked beyond belief! He never expected that he would encounter those names in this universe whatsoever! He even thought that the translator might be broken!


But how could those names be together and produce a son? Dio couldn’t comprehend what happened here whatsoever! 


“Well, I heard some rumours! I want to see them, which is why I come here! Do you know where they are?” Dio asked after brushing off the shock with a light cough. Dio couldn’t hide his curiosity. He knew that it might just be a coincidence, but on the slim chance that they really were who he thought they were, it would be better to know them. 


“Heike’s parents died shortly after giving birth to him, and that’s also the reason why Heike always feels lonely and inferior. He’s constantly trying to prove himself, but after earning everyone’s approval, he becomes drowned with power and looked down on everyone.” Ruzie said with a sad look on her face.


Dio instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was unfortunate that he couldn’t satisfy his curiosity, but it was fortunate that he didn’t have to worry about this universe being merged with the Dragon Ball universe! 


Nevertheless, he intervened with Heike earlier because he needed the information! After judging their character, Dio chose to help Ruzie instead of Heike, and it seemed his choice was the right one.


Since the Grandmaster was detected on this planet, he had to get information from the natives. The Grandmaster might want something from Ad.Pieris people, and he ought to know what it was!


“Now, I want some information. If you give it to me, you are free to go!” Dio said casually. He didn’t say what would happen if Ruzie refused to help Dio and just left it to her imagination.


“Alright, I will try my best to meet your demands,” Ruzie said as she nodded weakly.


“First of all, let’s talk about what happened here. I am curious about the situation that leads to the battle.” Dio said curiously.


Ruzie knew that the information wasn’t a secret at all, as many people already knew about it, but she told Dio everything she knew regardless. She told Dio about the internal conflicts between the Ad.Pierian after they opened their border with the outsiders. She also told Dio about Heike’s betrayal and greed-stricken rules over the Ad.Pierian. 


Her father, who was the king before Heike, died on the spot as Heike stormed her father’s house. As a result of this, Heike took control of the monarch and arrested those who might stage a coup against him, including Ruzie herself.


But as the catastrophe struck, chaos struck the planet, and thus, Ruzie staged her escape! No one could take down and recapture the escaped Ad.Pierian, thus her escape was rather easy! 


The war began right after as the escaped Ad.Pierian began attacking Heike and his people, further ensuing the chaos on the planet! But it was a huge hit to Ad.Pierian population as not only their number reduced by half from the catastrophe, many of them also died in the war! In the end, she didn’t even know how many Ad.Pierian survivors were left on this planet. 


Heike wanted to take the ship and ran away from the planet, but his ship was. .h.i.t by the Ad.Pierian’s attacks before take-off, so he hid for a long time before Ruzie found him again today. 


Although Ad.Pierian’s story deserved sympathy, Dio didn’t have the time to sympathize with them just yet.


“Anything strange happened after the catastrophe ended? Something that was incomprehensible, perhaps?” Dio asked again. 


“After the catastrophe? The whole planet was experiencing a great quake from the people fighting all over it.” Ruzie said after thinking about it for a while, but this was not what Dio had in mind. 


“I change the question! Have you seen any dangerous or strange individuals during this time?” Dio asked again.


Ruzie nodded his head, and Dio felt glad that he could find the answer he wanted, but as soon as Ruzie pointed his fingers towards Dio, he sighed again.


“No, not me! Aside from me, is there anyone else that you can think of as dangerous despite never meeting them before? Don’t lie to me now!” Dio said as he was annoyed that Ruzie thought of him as dangerous and strange!
