Chapter 82: Hell's Peaches (Part 2)
"Woo!!!"
The moment they ate the peaches, Cyrus, Goku, and Chi-Chi couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Delicious, so delicious!
Not only that, a warm current spread throughout their bodies, and then Cyrus, Goku, and Chi-Chi all clearly felt that their strength had increased!
It was indeed a precious fruit that grows in hell and can only be eaten by King Yama. Truly, it was a rare and valuable thing!
Crunch, crunch! The three of them wolfed down the peaches, and soon, all the peaches picked by Goku and Chi-Chi were gone.
Not yet satisfied, Cyrus, Goku, and Chi-Chi simply jumped onto the tree, picking and eating the fruits, as if they wouldn't stop until every fruit on the tree was eaten.
They were thieves in the first place, and Cyrus felt that their "brutal" behavior was a bit unfair. However, feeling the growing power in his body, the slight shame in his heart was quickly pushed aside by Cyrus.
Never mind, just eat and worry about it later!
Half an hour later—
"Ha ha..."
"I'm so full."
"I can't eat anymore..."
The area under the peach tree was a mess, with fruit cores scattered everywhere. Cyrus, Goku, and Chi-Chi were lying side by side on the grass, their bellies bulging.
The Hell Peaches had a similar effect to Senzu Beans. Eating one could keep you from feeling hungry for a hundred days. Most of the fruits on the peach tree had been eaten by the three of them. They probably wouldn't need any energy or food for a long time.
After resting for a while, the three of them finally recovered from their bloated stomachs and got up.
"Hey, Cyrus, Goku, these peaches are amazing! I feel like I'm full of power now!"
"Yeah, me too, me too!"
Chi-Chi and Goku were jumping up and down, both of them looking excited.
The two girls clenched their fists, cried out softly, and then two balls of colorless flames burst out from their bodies at the same time.
With a strange look in his eyes, Cyrus could naturally sense that the auras of Goku and Chi-Chi had become much stronger.
Especially Chi-Chi, who used to have only a little combat power and couldn't spread her Chi (Spirit Energy) outside her body at all. But after eating the Hell Peaches, her strength increased greatly, and now she could finally release her Chi.
Of course, not only did Goku and Chi-Chi benefit greatly, but Cyrus himself also received a huge boost!
"Look at how much strength we've all gained."
He took out a detector and placed it on his forehead, then Cyrus tested the current combat effectiveness of the three of them.
As the data on the detector flickered, the combat power values of the three appeared one after another:
Chi-Chi: 550 points!
Goku: 4,800 points!!
Cyrus: 15,700 points!!!
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Seeing their respective combat power values, Goku and Chi-Chi were both shocked. Even Cyrus himself couldn't help but feel secretly amazed.
You know, over the years, Cyrus and Goku had done a lot of hard training to improve their strength. However, now, just from eating a few Hell Peaches, their combat effectiveness had increased so much in an instant!
Cyrus's combat power increased by more than 5,000 points, Goku's combat power increased by more than 3,000 points, and Chi-Chi's combat power increased by more than 500 points.
Based on their original strength, Cyrus's strength had increased by about 50%, Goku's strength had doubled, and Chi-Chi's strength had increased nearly a hundredfold!
Looking at the remaining Hell Peaches on the peach tree, Cyrus couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Unfortunately, the Hell Peaches could only increase their strength to this extent. Even if they ate more peaches, their strength wouldn't increase much.
This was a fact that Cyrus, Goku, and Chi-Chi had discovered a long time ago. When they ate the first peach, their strength increased significantly, but the gains were much weaker after the second and third ones. Later on, even if they ate more peaches, their strength increased only slightly.
But if you think about it, this is normal. If the Hell Peaches could increase their strength indefinitely, wouldn't that mean they wouldn't need to train in the future? They could just plant a few more peach trees and become invincible by eating peaches?
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world!
However, although the Hell Peaches were no longer of much use to Cyrus and the others, they were still treasures among treasures for others.
"Goku, Chi-Chi, collect the fruit cores on the ground. When we go back later, we'll see if we can grow some ourselves."
"Yes, yes!"
Cyrus thought for a moment and said, while Goku and Chi-Chi happily ran to collect the fruit cores from the ground.
Although the Hell Peaches could no longer increase their strength, they loved the sweet and delicious taste. Thinking that they could grow Hell Peaches themselves and eat delicious fruit every day, Goku and Chi-Chi were looking forward to it with great joy....
While Goku and Chi-Chi were collecting the fruit cores on the ground, Cyrus jumped onto the tree, picked a dozen peaches, and put them into the universal capsule. Cyrus didn't pick these peaches for himself, but planned to bring them back to Bulma, Taisi, and Master Kame after their training.
Cyrus had considered teaching Bulma and Taisi martial arts, but how could the two young women, who had grown up in the city and lived a life of luxury, endure such hardship? Although the two girls tried to practice at Cyrus's request, they ended up turning "martial arts practice" into "dancing practice." Cyrus was speechless for a moment and then completely gave up the idea of letting Bulma and Taisi practice martial arts.
But now it was different. As long as they ate the Hell Peaches, the two women could gain power directly. Although he didn't expect them to become great masters traveling the universe, at least they would have some self-protection on this small Earth. He didn't want them to encounter gangsters or wild beasts when they were not around and end up in danger.
It didn't take long before Goku and Chi-Chi collected all the fruit cores on the ground, and Cyrus jumped down from the tree, landing back on the ground.
Seeing that the peach tree, which was originally full of fruit, now only had a few sparsely scattered, crooked melons and cracked dates left, Cyrus couldn't help but grin.
If King Yama knew about this, he would probably want to kill them!
Thinking of this, Cyrus's gaze fell on the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost, who were still unconscious on the ground. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he wondered if he should kill them to silence them.
But eventually, the coldness in Cyrus's eyes disappeared, and he shook his head.
It's not a big deal. I just stole a few peaches. Even if King Yama finds out, so what? Can he eat them and then make them spit them out?
Just let him know—it's not like they haven't already eaten them!
"Cyrus, what should we do now?"
Goku asked as she and Chi-Chi skipped to Cyrus's side.
Looking up at the yellowish sky, Cyrus thought for a moment and then said:
"There's no point in staying here anymore. Let's go back up and continue on to King Kai's planet."
To be continued…
