Looking at his own tool he saw that it wasn't that far away from his current location. Arkis had stayed here to keep a watch on the border of both their defacto territories.

"Arkis, let's move to Lite and the others. I got to talk to them first.", said Darc and placed a hand on her shoulder. With that action, he teleported her and himself to Lite. They were also on this planet and stationed at an outpost of the GP.

Lite and Maiz were currently playing a round of cards and very concentrated.

"If I were you I would play your utmost right card.", said Darc looking over Lite his shoulder.

Lite heard him and looked back up to him. "Oh, hey there Darc. You finally came.", answered Lite with a grin. Maiz also looked back up to Darc.

On Darc his forehead a vain nearly burst by that carefree attitude of his. "Didn't I tell you to be careful not to end up here? How the hell did you end up in the northern quadrant and even being on the same planet as Frieza to add it up?", said Darc in annoyance with a twitching smile.

Lite chuckle lightly. "Well, it's not my fault that Turles ran back here when we gave him too much pressure. At some point, we ended up here while hunting him down. Don't worry so much. With Arkis around, there is no way something would happen to us.", said Lite.

Darc could strangle him right now. Arkis in this timeline may be around 2 billion in strength but that didn't guarantee that this fool would live to tell the tale. And here he gave them something easy and they still somewhat screwed it up. Darc also noticed now how he himself behave and got agitated. Weird, why was he so worried about this fool again? No, it was not only him.

"Are you not relying too much on Arkis? What if I didn't send her to you?", asked Darc once more.

"Hmm? Well, we would have just lost the trace of the tree. The idea to follow was actually Arkis her idea.", he said in his defense.

Darc heard these words and changed his focus to Arkis. "Was it really your idea?", he asked her.

"Yes, since you gave me an order to even use lethal force I deemed it alright to follow...But then again, you also told me to stay put around Frieza. We had some battles but are now in a kind of stalemate with each other. Which order has a higher priority? So, in the end, we just waited until we got in touch with you again. In the time we waited, they actually planted the tree of might on this planet...", answered Arkis and looked to the direction of the tree.

"It's really vexing not to be able to do much while Frieza is here. But since it's your orders, I presume its better like that.", remarked Maiz now after listening to their conversation.

Darc sighed. "So Turles ran like a coward away from you and back into Frieza his arms? What an idiot. Is he still alive?", said Darc.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"We have seen him being under Frieza again.", noted Ocora now after she joined them.

Darc looked at her and thought a little bit about something. Then he noticed her energy fluctuation.

"Hmm? You still are not able to suppress your energy? You know they can read it, right?", said Darc.

"Sorry, with all my improvements it really gets hard to control the energy properly.", she said sheepishly and scratched her head.

"...Now that you mention it. You did get stronger. But you are still far outclassed. Lite is still the strongest of your group.", said Darc again.

"Hey, are you actually saying they will beat me? You know, I am also getting stronger since I started this job.", said Lite after he felt being attacked in his pride. Martial arts is something he will never concede to be bad at. Well, unless its Darc. He is just way beyond his reach.

"I know and you still have room for improvement. Here, learn this and I will be way less worried that you die off somewhere. After all your wife is pregnant and you better not die. Nevermind that actually. Just go back home, you idiot.", scolded Darc him and shove a martial book about the first superstate in his forehead.

He took it and looked inside. His eyes gleamed after he mostly understood the basics to it. "Wow, is this something you came up with? That's amazing. I feel like I can somehow manage to do it. Not sure though.", said lite while still looking into the book. From all the people that Darc taught, Lite and Arkis were probably the only ones that could understand this book.

Being curious as well, Arkis also took a glimpse into the book but was a little bit puzzled.

"Arkis, you don't need to learn that. Your body is special. So techniques like that won't work unless they are tailored to you. It's already good enough that you can use the Kaioken.", said Darc to Arkis after he saw her getting curious.

"Why is that?", she asked back.

"We will talk about that later.", answered Darc and also send her a telepathic message. *Well, your body is mostly based on your godly prowess. It is in harmony of body and soul. The Kaioken enhances those attributes of the body and soul. It sharpens your senses whereas that technique in the book only enhances one's power flow. It puts the body under pressure and disharmonizes them. There are also techniques that only enhance one's soul like the power of destruction. As far as I know, you cant use techniques that would strain your body since you were born from a fruit? That is at least my theory...Well, you could still try it out. maybe it would help you unlock your godly form in some way. Here is the information about the technique*

Yes, Darc counted the 1st superstate as a technique and not transformation to be exact. Now that Arkis came to ask him about it, he was wondering if she would ever learn it. the future Arkis also never seemed to have achieved that state for some reason and that is why had his theories why that was the case.

"Alright", she said back and pondered a little bit about it.

"Now, back to you, Lite. Get your arse moving back. I will handle this myself. Don't make me hear anything from Glew.", warned Darc him.

"Yeah, yeah. As if I would miss the time of my child's birth. Thanks for the book.", he answered with a bright grin at Darc.

"Maiz. You stay here and keep everyone safe for the time being we are negotiating with Frieza. If something is up and you feel to retreat. Don't hesitate, you hear? Ocora, you are with me since you saw Frieza. You will also be the one who later tells everyone into what the negotiation resulted in", gave Darc as orders to everyone and moved out with Arkis to the location of Frieza.

Let's see in what mood that emperor was in. Dar still thought about what he would want to talk about. there had to be a catch somewhere.

That Turles also would do something as going back was also unexpected. Would Frieza not normally kill traitor? There really is something up. Well, it was somewhat obvious with the Tree of Might already being planted like that...
