A Qualitative Leap in Power

Looking at the clone in front of him, Vegapunk took off one of his earrings, approached it, and put the earring directly on the clone that was floating in mid-air.

In an instant, under the influence of a strange force, the clone collided with Vegapunk, and a moment later, Vegapunk reappeared.

When Vegapunk first designed his clone to look exactly like himself, so even after the two merged, Vegapunk's appearance remained unchanged.

Although his appearance remained unchanged, Vegapunk could feel that the power within him was completely different from what it had been at the beginning, as if it had broken through some kind of boundary. He could even feel that the energy within him had undergone a subtle transformation because it had become so powerful.

"This feeling... is it the Truth-Seeking Orb?"

He gently stretched out his hand. Although it was still a pale blue energy, even without Vegapunk maintaining it, the energy did not leak out and floated in mid-air without any sense of violence.

"Is it because of the fusion with Chakra? It seems that all the energy in my body has been transformed into this kind of nature, like Truth-Seeking Orb... closer to some kind of chaotic power."

What appears to be an ordinary energy blast is actually a chaotic mass, an ultra-high density energy compression. When Vegapunk didn't intend for it to explode, this mass of energy was astonishingly stable, seemingly just like a shining piece of jade.

Of course, stability and safety are two different things. If someone dares to touch this chaotic mass with their bare hands, their entire arm, or even their entire person, will be vaporized in an instant.

In addition, what appears to be an ordinary mass of chaos, according to Vegapunk's perception, once it explodes, its power is almost twice that of an equal amount of air energy.

"It's like the God of Destruction Power of God of Destruction. Even if the quantity is the same, the completely different quality gives the God of Destruction Power an overwhelming advantage over ordinary air energy."

"Now the energy in my body also has the special properties of the God of Destruction Power. However, unlike the God of Destruction Power, my energy is probably the result of the energy in my body being compressed to a certain extent. It may also be affected by Chakra."

However, although it is also a special type of energy, the energy within Vegapunk's body is not as destructive as Destruction Energy. On the contrary, in Vegapunk's perception, this energy is not only good for fighting, but also for creating.

Chakra's unique Yin-Yang Release ability, which creates form and gives life, is also contained within this energy, which is like a Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb.

He reached out and gently tapped it, and the Light Orb instantly burst forth with powerful energy, transforming into a giant energy Giant Dragon shimmering with golden light, which coiled around Vegapunk's arm.

Although the entire Giant Dragon was formed from energy, it shimmered with a pale golden light, its whiskers trembled, and its eyes were lively, clearly indicating that it possessed its own life.

Sensing the Giant Dragon before him, Vegapunk knew that this Light Dragon possessed at least a billion combat power. For Vegapunk, the energy he had used to create the Giant Dragon was less than 1/10 of a second before it was completely replenished.

With Majin Buu's special physique, even if he used all his energy to create life, he would fully recover within a few seconds. It can be said that Vegapunk could create an energy race capable of reproduction in a very short time on his own.

Yes, although the race before them is an energy being, it is indeed capable of reproduction. This is a unique ability of the Supreme Kai, who excels at creation. After Vegapunk combined it with Chakra abilities, he was able to enable energy races to reproduce and survive.

"Pretty good. This trick can create quite a few subordinates... although it's not very meaningful."

After testing his abilities briefly, Vegapunk was quite satisfied. In addition to directly creating life, Vegapunk could also imbue his energy with simple thoughts, exhibiting abilities almost like those of a primordial spirit.

This means giving one's energy a certain degree of thinking ability, automatically tracking enemies, identifying targets, or performing protective work, which is equivalent to self-disciplined Artificial Intelligence.

After the experiment ended, Vegapunk strolled out of the giant God Tree, only to be surprised to see Lord Beerus, and Whis as soon as he left the center of the God Tree.

What brings you two here?

Vegapunk waved his hand as a greeting, then asked with some curiosity.

Because this God of Destruction was always reckless, Vegapunk never brought God of Destruction to the God Tree; at most, he had only ever gazed at it from afar.

Beerus was well aware of Vegapunk's importance to the God Tree, so he usually never approached this place. He didn't know why Vegapunk had come here this time.

"Oh... it's Vegapunk! I heard your God Tree has borne fruit, so I wanted to come and see what kind of fruit it is that makes you so attached to this tree and take such good care of it."

"That fruit must be incredibly delicious..."

Vegapunk gave Beerus a strange look, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, because I already took the fruit of the God Tree, and it's not something that people can eat anyway."

Upon hearing Vegapunk's words, Beerus was greatly disappointed. He didn't think Vegapunk would lie, mainly because he himself was no match for Vegapunk, so Vegapunk had no reason to deceive him.

"Hehe, Lord Beerus, haven't you noticed? Mr. Vegapunk is much stronger than before, and even the energy within his body has undergone a qualitative change."

Angel Whis smiled, narrowing his eyes to conceal the surprise in them. However, judging from the way he gripped the Staff tightly, Whis was still quite astonished by Vegapunk's change.

"What?! This guy's gotten even stronger?!"

Upon hearing Whis's words, Beerus was immediately taken aback. This God of Destruction exerted all his energy to carefully examine Vegapunk, and finally sensed the subtle changes in Vegapunk.

Beneath those subtle changes lay Vegapunk's power, which had undergone a near-qualitative transformation, with its energy far exceeding Beerus's imagination.

The absurd energy was dozens of times stronger than Vegapunk, whom he had fought before, and its quality was beyond imagination. Although it was not as destructive as his own God of Destruction Power, it was undoubtedly an energy of the same level as his own.

"You... you're more than a hundred times stronger than before. Is this the so-called power of the God Tree Fruit?"

"Hmm... that's not entirely wrong! Although it's not a real fruit."

After hearing Vegapunk's words, Whis suddenly tapped his cane, a look of Satori on his face:

"It must be a body cultivated using the energy of the God Tree, hence the name God Tree Fruit. As for how Mr. Vegapunk became so powerful, could it be that he used the Fusion Earrings to fuse himself with the body cultivated by the God Tree Fruit?"

"It's strange that Mr. Vegapunk's appearance hasn't changed at all. Logically speaking, although the Supreme Kai is immune to the personality changes brought about by the Fusion Earrings, his appearance should still change."

Vegapunk smiled and explained:

"Actually, it's not too difficult. As long as the appearance created is exactly the same as my current appearance, there will naturally be no changes after the combination!"

Whis nodded slightly, but he didn't think that what Vegapunk was talking about was really not difficult—being able to maintain such powerful combat strength while also fixing the appearance of the physical body in the God Tree could only mean that Vegapunk was in complete control, and the physical body he created was not his limit.

"Ahhh! You've become so strong in the blink of an eye! Does that mean I'll never catch up to you, no matter how many years pass?!"

Beerus wore a pained expression. God of Destruction were practically the pinnacle of the universe. Above them were only angels and figures like the Grand Priest and the Grand Zeno. Even ordinary angels were only slightly stronger than God of Destruction.

Beerus has never actually seen a monster like Vegapunk, whose strength is nearly a hundred times that of God of Destruction!

Beerus even suspected that neither the Grand Zeno nor the Grand Priest had such a terrifying energy reserve!

Of course, what makes the Grand Zeno and the Grand Priest truly terrifying is the rules they control, not their combat power. Unless one also possesses rule-based abilities, no matter how powerful a person is, they simply cannot resist the Grand Zeno's direct erasure.

However, Beerus certainly didn't reach that level. The rules he mastered at most made his energy more destructive. It was just slightly stronger than ordinary energy.

Despite Beerus's Tenten free meals at Vegapunk 'Vegapunk place and his seemingly close relationship with him, he has never given up on the idea of defeating Vegapunk.

Even with the fusion technique, Vegapunk was only slightly stronger than this God of Destruction, not to the point of completely overwhelming him. Beerus was confident that as long as he trained more and fully mastered Ultra Instinct, he would naturally be able to overpower Vegapunk.

However, even if Beerus trained for tens of millions of years, he would still be no match for Vegapunk, whose strength has increased a hundredfold. After all, even God of Destruction have limits to their potential. Apart from Ultra Instinct, Beerus couldn't find a way to further improve his strength.

If Beerus were to slowly train his physical body to catch up with Vegapunk's strength, it would probably take him hundreds of billions of years—assuming he actually has that much time.

"So you're still dreaming of surpassing me! But that's impossible!"

Vegapunk looked at Beerus with a faint smile on his face:

"To date, no one I've surpassed has ever surpassed me again!"

After all, while others were just exercising normally, Vegapunk directly modified his body. It would be strange if those who trained honestly could surpass this cheater.

Beerus originally came to Vegapunk to taste the fruit of the God Tree Fruit. Now that he knows the truth about the God Tree Fruit and discovers Vegapunk's rapid increase in strength, Beerus, feeling spurred, left after only a few words.

Before leaving, this God of Destruction, who loved to freeload, asked Vegapunk for a whole bunch of seasonings and food. Vegapunk simply handed him several time-freezing Capsule Corp Capsule, which should be enough for this God of Destruction to eat for more than ten years.

After dismissing the God of Destruction, Vegapunk turned his gaze back to the God Tree. Although the God Tree was planted in the World of the Kais, its roots had penetrated dimensions and appeared on almost every planet in the universe.

"A natural signal relay station... With the help of this God Tree, perhaps I can use the Infinite Tsukuyomi on a cosmic scale. Wouldn't that allow me to create a virtual world encompassing the entire universe?"

The benefits of the virtual world. Vegapunk has already enjoyed them. The reason why his technological progress is so rapid is also inextricably linked to the Chakra Network created by the One-Punch World Naruto, Hokage, and One-Punch Man.

The Chakra Network is not entirely the same as the real-world internet. In addition to leveraging the king's own Chakra to gather unparalleled computing power, it can also utilize the Chakra Network's capabilities to gain inspiration from each user.

Although most of these inspirations were like delusions, among the infinite number, there were indeed sparks of wisdom that were eye-opening and could remind a scientist of Vegapunk's caliber. Over time, these small sparks accumulated, allowing Vegapunk to gather a vast amount of wisdom.

The Chakra Network on a single planet has already provided such immense assistance to Vegapunk; if it could spread throughout the entire universe and become Second World, the benefits it would bring to Vegapunk would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that the Chakra Network also provides various other benefits such as advancing civilization, consolidating rule, spreading technology, and collecting energy. It can be said that under the control of the Chakra Network, Vegapunk could easily take control of the entire Dragon Ball Seventh Universe. This kind of control far surpasses the almost laissez-faire control ability of the Supreme Kai.

The Supreme Kai is nominally the highest god who manages the universe, but in reality, he can only regulate the world through his subordinate Kai and some planetary Deity.

In reality, these Kami are utterly incompetent at managing the universe. Not only have they never managed the universe at all, they are also frequently humiliated by powerful figures that emerge from planets or the universe.

For example, Kami encountered Piccolo, Kai encountered Space Emperor Frieza, and the Supreme Kai also encountered Majin Buu...

Not to mention the vast majority of life forms in the universe, who don't even know what Kami, Kai, or Supreme Kai are. After all, their numbers are far too few. They are already doing their best to keep the universe from going through a major catastrophe, let alone truly manage it.
