Chapter 104: Mai's Transformation
Cyrus nodded as he observed the current combat power of Bulma and the three girls.
The Hell Peach had its most significant effect during the first consumption. The power gained from subsequent consumptions, such as the second and third times, and beyond, would noticeably decrease.
The power gained by Bulma and the others after eating the peach was incomparable to the power gained by Cyrus and his group. This was partly because they only ate one peach, but more importantly, because their initial foundation was too weak.
The stronger a person was, the more power they gained after eating a Hell Peach. The best example was right in front of him.
Bulma, Tights, and Launch had each eaten only one peach. As a result, Bulma and Tights gained roughly the same amount of power, but Launch gained nearly two to three times as much as the sisters!
Of course, although the power gained by Bulma and the others was insignificant in Cyrus's eyes, the three of them were shocked and excited.
Especially Bulma, who, when she thought about how Master Roshi, that old pervert, had cultivated diligently for hundreds of years and only had a combat power of a hundred-plus points, and she had directly surpassed him by eating a single peach, felt an urge to laugh heartily.
"Let's try again!"
In their excitement, the three of them walked over to the area with fitness equipment, intending to test themselves further.
To maintain their perfect figures, Bulma and Tights usually did some simple exercises.
Tights picked up a dumbbell, which had previously felt incredibly heavy but now felt as light as a toy. Bulma ran a few steps on the treadmill, and before long, the treadmill started smoking.
Launch didn't use any equipment like Bulma and Tights. Instead, she chose an open space to practice her punches and kicks. Launch, who was proficient in martial arts, moved with a powerful force, and Wukong and Chi-Chi applauded and cheered for her.
"Hya!!!"
With a delicate shout, Launch threw a punch, and the powerful energy directly shattered a vase several meters away.
With a gleam in her beautiful eyes, Launch was also somewhat overwhelmed.
Was this the feeling of having power? It was indeed addictive!
She looked at Cyrus, who was on the side, and wondered if she should go and get her revenge. That bastard had just bullied her to the point of near death.
Noticing Launch's gaze, Cyrus smiled at her, and Launch subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Forget it, forget it. That bastard is a monster. My current power is nothing in his eyes. If I stupidly rushed over, I probably wouldn't get my revenge and would only give him another reason to bully me."
Launch continued to practice her punches and kicks, and Bulma and Tights were also having a great time. Cyrus noticed that Mai was looking on with envy.
After thinking for a moment, Cyrus took out another Hell Peach and handed it to Mai.
"Eat it."
"M-Master?"
Mai looked at Cyrus in disbelief, but she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
Having witnessed Bulma and the others transform from delicate young ladies into super-powered women, it would be a lie to say that Mai wasn't moved. However, she also knew her place.
To put it nicely, she was a subordinate that this man had subdued. To put it bluntly, she was just a tool for him.
How precious was a fruit that could enhance the eater's power? She was just a tool, so how could she be qualified to enjoy it? However, the result was beyond Mai's expectations.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised? Do you think I wouldn't give you such a precious fruit?"
Cyrus said with a smile, as if he knew what Mai was thinking.
Her face flushed, and although she subconsciously wanted to say no, Mai didn't dare to lie to this man and could only nod.
Cyrus placed the peach in Mai's hand and then lifted her chin.
"I've heard from Bulma and Tights that you've performed very well this year. You've also helped a lot with managing the company, so this is a reward for you."
"Although you're just a tool, a god's tool has glory and value that surpasses mortals."
"Eat it, gain power, and dedicate everything to me more loyally and diligently in the future."
Cyrus said domineeringly and evilly, leaving no room for doubt.
Mai's heart trembled, and she almost instinctively replied:
"Yes, my master..."
Under Cyrus's gaze, Mai ate the peach and gained power.
In terms of physical strength, Mai was naturally much stronger than Bulma and Tights, but she was still a little weaker than blonde Launch. So, Mai ultimately gained 260 points of combat power.
However, in terms of Earth, she had taken a giant leap!
Clenching her fists tightly and feeling the power surging within her, Mai was also incredibly excited.
Perhaps, it was an honor for her to become this man's tool!
In fact, after witnessing Cyrus's power and spending a year with Bulma and the others, Mai's thinking had changed. In Mai's view, the things she and Emperor Pilaf had done were incredibly childish, like those of a three-year-old.
They had no power or means but fantasized about conquering the world every day, which was hopelessly childish.
As long as this man was here, Emperor Pilaf would never realize his ridiculous dream!
Mai had secretly been sad when she was abandoned by Emperor Pilaf and Shu, but now she felt grateful to them, grateful that they had abandoned her!
Naturally, Cyrus saw Mai's reactions, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Governing subordinates required not only absolute force and authority but also rewards and favors, so that they would submit to you from body to soul, be loyal to you, and then dedicate everything to you.
Cyrus never denied his ambition. He wanted to become an invincible powerhouse in the universe and a ruler who controlled everything. However, he couldn't achieve these things by himself. He needed the help of others.
Therefore, in Cyrus's plan, he would collect and cultivate more and more subordinates and tools like Mai in the future...
"Cyrus, I love you to death!"
At this moment, Bulma, who had finished playing, ran over and jumped on Cyrus, giving him a hard kiss.
Bulma had never known that having power was such a wonderful feeling!
"So, you know you love me now?"
"Later, I'll teach you some self-defense skills. Otherwise, having power is a waste."
Cyrus rolled his eyes at the girl and said.
Although Bulma and the others now had hundreds of points of combat power, even using amateurish punches could deal with most dangers on Earth, but that would be a waste of their power.
Having hundreds of points of combat power, even if their talent in martial arts was poor, they should be able to quickly learn some basic techniques now.
"Yes, yes, I won't be lazy this time."
"This young lady is an invincible genius beauty. Once I learn those powerful martial arts, let's see if those bastards dare to kidnap us again!"
Bulma said excitedly, clenching her little fist.
However, the next moment, Bulma, realizing she had let something slip, froze...
