"I am the Snake God who has lived here for fifteen hundred years. Damn you, man! How dare you deceive me! How dare you deceive me!"
With boundless rage, the enormous snake god, transformed from Princess Snake, roared as she slithered toward Yuujin and the others.
"Princess, I never deceived you. From the beginning, it was you who deliberately lured me in. Even last night's events were your doing, weren't they?"
"So, to be fair, we're both to blame."
"Well then, we've had our fun. Time to leave."
Stretching lazily, Yuujin called out to Goku and Chi-Chi, preparing to continue their journey.
Despite spending a pleasant few days together, and Princess Snake displaying a gracious and elegant side in front of them, Yuujin knew from the start that her true nature was both wicked and ruthless.
So, it was just a bit of fun. Why take it so seriously?
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
"You cursed man! I won't let you escape!"
Seeing that Yuujin and the others were leaving, Princess Snake was nearly driven mad with fury, lunging toward them, her massive body surging to chase and snap at the three of them.
Beneath Snake Way lay a vast sea of clouds. If one fell off Snake Way, they would plunge through the clouds and drop straight into the underworld below. However, as the deity of Snake Way, Princess Snake could move and weave through the cloud sea — even soar into the air.
But her form was too immense, limiting her speed. Though she fiercely pursued Yuujin and his friends, the distance between them gradually widened.
"Hahaha... this is fun!"
"Come on, Princess, try to catch us!"
"Rooo! Rooo!"
Treating it as a game of tag, Goku laughed joyfully, encouraging Princess Snake to chase them. Chi-Chi even paused to pull faces at her, teasingly.
"Aaaargh!"
"You damn kids, I'll kill you all!"
Driven to rage, nearly insane with fury, the serpent form of Princess Snake opened her massive mouth and spewed forth a blazing torrent of fire, attacking Yuujin, Goku, and Chi-Chi.
The flames came so suddenly that even Yuujin was startled, barely dodging in time to escape the blast. But Princess Snake wasn't about to stop there, continuing to hurl flames at them.
In an instant, fire surged throughout the sky above Snake Way. Despite their best efforts to dodge, Yuujin, Goku, and Chi-Chi were still left looking a bit disheveled.
After all, even a clay figure has some temper, and Yuujin was starting to get annoyed.
"Princess Snake, we were friends for a while. Even if we were only short-term lovers, a fleeting connection is still something."
"Since you're being merciless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Goku, Chi-Chi!"
With a sharp glint in his eyes, Yuujin called out to Goku and Chi-Chi.
Understanding his intention, they nodded, and the three stopped running. Instead, they split up, surrounding Princess Snake.
"Ha!"
Their battle energy erupted, and each of them launched a rapid barrage of energy blasts toward Princess Snake, hurling them like a rain of cannonballs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ahhh..."
Explosions rang out across the cloud sea, mingling with Princess Snake's anguished screams.
After a full ten minutes, the fierce explosion ceased, and her figure gradually reappeared in view.
But now, Princess Snake had returned to her human form, looking pitiful and tearful as she pleaded, "Please… don't hit me anymore."
"Ha! Now you know our strength, huh? Let's see if you still try chasing us!" Chi-Chi wiped her nose, looking pleased, while Princess Snake frantically waved her hands.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare anymore."
Reluctantly, Princess Snake admitted defeat.
"I was planning to leave in peace out of respect for your hospitality, but since you insisted on pursuing us, then—"
"You'll become my pet from now on, Princess Snake!"
Standing over her, Yuujin's expression held a devilish smirk.
Honestly, this alluring goddess was too hard to simply leave behind. Having experienced her charms, Yuujin wasn't about to let her go so easily.
Before, he'd had no experience, but now that he had tasted temptation, it would be hard for him to abstain.
Bulma and Tights were still too young; he wouldn't harm them before they came of age.
So, sorry, Princess Snake; you dug your own pit, and now you'll have to fill it — even if it's with tears!
"A… pet?!"
Hearing Yuujin's domineering declaration, Princess Snake looked stunned, unable to believe it.
"What, you're unwilling?"
With a cold look in his eyes, Yuujin narrowed his gaze.
Princess Snake wanted to retort, "Like hell I'm willing! I'm the noble goddess of Snake Way, the first beauty of the underworld! How could I be anyone's pet?"
But she couldn't say a word in refusal; a chilling sense of danger emanated from Yuujin.
Would he kill her if she refused?
No, she couldn't die now. She may have lived for fifteen hundred years, but it wasn't nearly enough — she didn't want to die!
"I… I…"
She felt regret consuming her. Why hadn't she just let this demon of a man leave? Why had she foolishly chased after him, bringing this trouble upon herself?
Now, she was trapped, forced to become a pet!
Yuujin had no intention of being lenient. His true nature was greedy and domineering.
Before, without power, he'd hidden that nature, but now he had the strength, and there was no need to hold back.
He had trained tirelessly to become strong enough to live as he pleased, and now, his desire was to make Princess Snake his pet!
"Princess Snake, do you think being my pet is beneath you?"
"While I'm just a little god of Earth now, I can easily subdue you."
"And it won't stop here. I'll grow stronger and stronger."
"I'll become the ruler of Earth, then the galaxy, and one day, the universe!"
"You think it's humiliating to be my pet?"
"No, no, it's your highest honor!"
Yuujin's evil grin spread, his words both intimidating and ambitious.
Becoming ruler of Earth, ruler of the galaxy, and ultimately the universe — these were indeed his goals and dreams!
Knowing the paths of fate and possessing the perfect Saiyan bloodline, Yuujin saw no reason why he couldn't achieve it.
Even Frieza became the emperor of the universe; why couldn't he?
Predictably, his words shook Princess Snake deeply.
Such audacious arrogance, yet… intoxicatingly alluring!
"There's only one chance."
"So, my princess, make your choice."
With a gentle smile, Yuujin's demeanor softened as he tenderly caressed her cheek.
Princess Snake's heart raced. Perhaps her destiny was about to be decided...
To be continued...
(T/N: I don't really mind Yuujin making her his pet. To be sincerely honest, I hated his Pokemon gathering typa shit before, but this was reasonably necessary for the plot. I suggest you guys stick to the story and keep on reading cuz the Author is going to stretch the story till Tournament of Power, and for all the questioning folks, Super Saiyan 4 will be attained by the protagonists of the story!)
Guys, I am posting another Dragon Ball fiction from my alternate account. The fic is likely the best project I have ever done as a translator, so do check it out. It is a multiversal fic with Dragon Ball as the main world. A Saiyan's Journey Begins From A Dream by SenatusAlpha.
