>>5419912That godly power is what allowed her to fight toe-to-toe with Chaya, but once she defeated her that's when her might exploded. She had explained further that the source of divine power is mortal worship, or more accurately, their Faith. So, with her victory over the seemingly-unconquerable Chaya, she gained the worship of uncounted planets' worth of believers in your massive network. Their faith in her makes her unbelievably strong, in fact she actually out-punched Chaya's record on the force machine just the other day on one stream. Which made you begin to wonder if replacing Chaya with her was truly such a good idea after all.
“She may be your most anticipated match-up, and is the only one qualified to fight a Champion currently. But we have a problem.” you tell her, brows furrowing as you think back on the disturbing news you'd received.
“I take it you mean Chaya?” she asks, a smug grin coming to her face that reminds you more of how she was before. “You don't seriously think she is a threat to me anymore, do you?”
“I wouldn't count her out just yet.” you tell her, picking up a small tablet from the table and handing it to her. “I'm sure you've researched who Soba the Undefeated is, yes?”
“The Champion who simply up and left one day, right?” she asks, studying the tablet for a few seconds. “I see, she's going to challenge him?”
“And I think she can actually beat him.” you tell her, resting your head in your hands. “He was a legend, twenty years ago. But I have no idea how much of his old skill and power he's held onto, nor how much stronger Chaya's gotten since you nearly killed her.”
“Sir, if I may.” she says, raising a hand like a student as if asking permission to speak.
“Go ahead Tanya. Speak your mind.” you tell her, curious what her strange mind is pondering. “What is it?”
“Why not ask him?” she asks, you raising a brow at her curiously. “Thanks to the Saiyans' influence, I'm sure they've reached you telepathically on more than one occasion. Just do as they've been doing, and <span class="mu-i">think</span> out to him.”
“You know... I never even thought about doing that.” you say, shocked you hadn't thought of it yourself.
“Please, allow me to help you.” she says, it taking you a couple seconds to realize that her lips hadn't moved. “Precisely, Sir. Now, try reaching out to him.”
“Appreciate the hand, Tanya.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to her, then focus your thoughts entirely on the image of Soba as you remember him. “Hey, Soba. Soba, can you hear me? It's Vox, Gleeman Vox, remember me?”
“Great, you're not just sending people to my home world to try and find me, but now you're in my head too.” Soba replies, you are almost able to hear his sigh through the link. “No, I'm not coming back to the arena. No matter what you say, I'm done. Never again.”
