SWNOVELXO Chapter 34: CHAPTER 34
c34: Exposed! Vegeta Appears
"Contestant Son Goku has fallen out of the ring. Universe 6 is the winner of this round!" The referee's announcement echoed across the arena, prompting loud cheers from Champa and his team.
"H-How the hell did Kakarot lose?!" Vegeta shouted, stunned. His fists clenched tightly as he glared at the ring. "With his power, that shouldn't be possible!"
Lucca narrowed his eyes, staring silently at Frost. His expression was unreadable, but something in his gaze sharpened with suspicion.
"This doesn't make sense! There's no way Goku could've lost like that!" Even Beerus, the God of Destruction, stood up in disbelief. He had personally witnessed Goku's strength and a loss like this was beyond explanation.
"Hahaha! What's the matter, Beerus?! You lose, fair and square! Universe 6 takes the win!" Champa boomed triumphantly, puffing out his chest with a smug grin.
Beerus growled and snapped, "Hmph! Don't be ridiculous. I'm not one to break my word."
Champa snorted and nodded mockingly. "Good! Make sure you remember that!"
On the sidelines, Chi-Chi rushed from the stands and landed beside Goku's unconscious form. "Goku!" she cried out, holding him in concern.
Krillin quickly flew down as well and slipped a Senzu Bean into Goku's mouth. Within seconds, Goku stirred and opened his eyes.
"Huh? What happened…?" he muttered, dazed.
Chi-Chi's eyes welled up. "You… you fell out of the ring."
"What?" Goku blinked in confusion. "I lost?"
Just then, Frost approached with a courteous smile and bowed slightly. "I believe Mr. Goku may have been momentarily distracted. I might have struck too hard. My sincerest apologies."
But Goku laughed and waved it off. "No, no it's okay! If I lost, then I lost. You don't have to apologize for that."
Frost bowed again respectfully. "I appreciate your sportsmanship."
His graceful demeanor disarmed much of Universe 7. No one accused him or even questioned the result.
As Goku returned to the bench with Chi-Chi, he scratched the back of his head, looking sheepish. "Sorry, guys! Guess I messed that one up!"
Vegeta stood with arms crossed, scowling. "What the hell, Kakarot? There's no way you should've lost to someone like him. You were toying with him!"
Goku looked thoughtful and replied, "I thought I had it won… I don't even remember what happened at the end."
Vegeta scoffed. "Tch."
Goku, still cheerful despite the loss, nudged him. "Well, it's your turn now. With your power, you can handle him for sure! Get revenge for me!"
"Hmph." Vegeta grunted and turned toward the ring, his expression unreadable.
But just then, Lucca who had been silent all this time finally spoke. "Actually, Goku didn't lose fairly."
"What?!" everyone said in unison, turning toward him.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself!" Beerus barked, stepping forward.
Lucca kept his gaze on Frost in the ring. Calmly, he pointed at the smiling warrior. "Frost cheated."
"WHAT?!" a chorus of shock rang out again.
"Boy! I advise you not to talk nonsense!" Champa snapped, his expression darkening. "What proof do you have that Frost cheated? Are you just making excuses because you can't accept defeat?"
Frost turned his cold gaze toward Lucca, clearly annoyed by the accusation.
But Lucca remained calm and replied with a faint smile, "There's a hidden weapon on his wrist. That's how he managed to defeat Goku. If you don't believe me, check it yourself."
Hidden weapon?!
Gasps echoed through the arena. All eyes turned suspiciously toward Frost.
At that moment, the referee approached cautiously and grabbed Frost's wrist to inspect it.
Frost hesitated, his jaw tightening, but made no move to stop the inspection.
"Ah! There it is!" the referee exclaimed suddenly. "There really is a hidden device!"
Everyone in the stands rose to their feet, stunned.
Realizing he had been exposed, Frost abruptly shoved the referee aside and activated the small needle hidden on the back of his forearm, extending it with a flick. "This isn't a hidden weapon!" Frost declared. "It's part of my body!"
"You... you shameless fraud!" Champa's face turned ghostly pale. This revelation humiliated him in front of everyone. "Using something like that to win?! You brought shame to Universe 6!"
Frost's expression twisted. Then, with a sly tone, he said, "Lord Champa, I only did what I had to in order to win. Don't you want Universe 6 to triumph too?"
"Shut up, you disgrace!" Champa exploded, seething with fury. Seeing the way Beerus sneered at him from the other side only made it worse.
Frost chuckled darkly. "Hahaha… Lord Champa, I served you loyally."
Buzz!
A dangerous aura radiated from Champa's hand a ball of Destruction energy forming instantly. "I'll erase you myself!"
Frost's confident smile cracked, replaced by genuine terror. "W-Wait! Don't—!"
But just then, Vegeta's voice rang out.
"Hold it."
Everyone turned toward him.
Vegeta stood calmly, arms crossed. "Since Goku was eliminated unfairly, that means he wasn't truly defeated. He should be reinstated."
The referee perked up. "If evidence of an attack can be found on Goku's body, then yes, his participation rights can be restored."
Immediately, Chi-Chi and Krillin examined Goku carefully. Before long, they discovered a small puncture wound in the center of his palm clearly unnatural.
"It's true!" Krillin confirmed. "There's a needle mark!"
"Then I hereby reinstate Son Goku's eligibility to compete!" the referee declared.
Goku grinned, unbothered. "Heh! I had a feeling something was off."
Vegeta cracked a rare smile. "In that case, let me take care of this trash."
Without waiting for approval, he jumped down from the stands and landed firmly in the ring.
Vegeta glared at Frost and growled, "No need to destroy him. I'll do it myself."
Champa snorted but didn't interfere. He was too angry to care anymore. Frost had ruined Universe 6's image.
Champa turned toward Vados. "He won the Cosmic Peace Prize three times, didn't he?!"
Vados tapped her staff, scanning Frost's history. "Yes… but he was the one who started all those wars in the first place. He manufactured conflicts and then stepped in to stop them just to appear like a peacekeeper."
Champa clenched his fists. "Disgusting…"
Frost laughed maniacally. "Yes! That's right! I manipulated everything! And why? Because I needed funding to upgrade the equipment of the Space Patrol! There's nothing wrong with that!"
His sinister voice echoed across the arena.
But Vegeta cut him off. "Tch. You're no different from Frieza. That makes it my responsibility to deal with you… as the Prince of all Saiyans."
"Hoh? You think you can stop me?" Frost taunted, unfazed. "Bring it on."
Frost still believed that Goku was Universe 7's strongest. Since he had beaten Goku, Vegeta didn't scare him.
But—
HAAAA!!!
Vegeta erupted with explosive power, his golden aura tearing across the arena as he transformed into a Super Saiyan without hesitation!
"N-No way… You too?!" Frost stammered, eyes wide in disbelief.
Vegeta stared coldly. "You... trash."
Then, without waiting, he charged and the battle began!
