I Am Apprentice Angel Merus, Marcarita's Younger Brother

"Whoosh!"

Four people appeared in the starry sky.

"Hmph, I've long thought the food on that planet wasn't very tasty, so there's no need to keep that planet around," Sidra said with a smile.

"You just destroyed the planet like that?" Broly asked, turning his head.

"As God of Destruction, it is our duty to destroy useless planets," Sidra explained simply. "It is also our job."

Broly nodded, indicating that he understood.

Majin Buu scratched his head, having listened to nothing.

What exactly constitutes a useless planet?

Can you explain it clearly?

"However, Broly, your current Universe 18 only has one white planet, so you don't need to work yet," Sidra explained with a smile. "Actually, what Universe 18 needs most right now is the Supreme Kai, the creator god. The Supreme Kai is responsible for creating planets and creating life."

"I have," Broly replied.

"You've met Supreme Kais of the Universe, haven't you?" Sidra chuckled. "In the future, your Universe 18 will have its own Supreme Kai. Once that Supreme Kai appears, your lives will be bound together."

Broly scratched his head and raised his eyes slightly.

"That's right, your lives will be intertwined; if one dies, the other will also disappear." Sidra smiled slightly.

"Luo Tian said so." Broly nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Let's go, I'll take you to another planet and see what the food is like there," Sidra said with a smile.

Broly and Majin Buu, like two complete novices, readily agreed.

Whatever you say goes.

Anyway, the food from that planet was terrible.

"Call out!"

The four people flew rapidly toward another planet.

Universe 7, Galactic Patrol Headquarters.

In Tights's room.

Tights sat at her desk, engrossed in typing on her laptop.

After finishing today's chapter, Tights uploaded it to Qidian Novel Network...

Then, Tights speechless to find that the screen kept spinning during the upload process.

"The network is bad again..." Tights sighed helplessly. "There's nothing I can do... This is the Galactic Patrol, which is very far from Earth, so the signal often has problems."

When the uploaded chapters displayed a spinning circle, Tights asked the Galactic Patrol's technical department to resolve the issue.

The technical department said it would take at least a week to fix the signal problem.

Fortunately, the spinning issue is intermittent; it usually gets sent eventually, so there's no need to worry about that.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tights picked up her phone, found her mother's number, and dialed it.

As is customary, Tights calls her parents almost every day to let them know she is safe and makes a video call.

However, Tights soon heard the message from the other end. "The number you dialed is not in service."

Tights: "???"

Tights slightly taken aback.

What's going on?

Is the signal really that bad today?

Tights pushed open the door and walked out of the room to the technical department to inquire about the situation.

"The signal is fine today, everything is normal." The technical department checked the Galactic Patrol's network system and found no faults.

"Why can't we make phone calls from Earth?" Tights asked.

"Let me see." The technician stepped forward and quickly took action.

However, upon seeing this, the technicians were stunned, their expressions changing repeatedly, and they were speechless.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Tights had a bad feeling.

"W-w-what... are you kidding me?" The technician stammered, pointing at the Earth on the screen, and said in a trembling voice, "Earth... how did Earth become like this?"

The other technicians immediately gathered around and looked at the desolate state of the Earth on the display screen.

The Earth today looks like the end of the world.

When Tights saw the scene on Earth, she was struck dumb, her body went limp, and she plopped down in a chair next to her, her face extremely pale.

What's wrong with Earth?

"Isn't Earth under Jaco's jurisdiction? Quickly call Jaco over!" someone suggested.

Upon hearing the news, Jaco rushed over immediately.

Jaco stared intently at the Earth on the screen, completely baffled.

I haven't heard of any world war recently.

How did a perfectly good planet become a dead star?

"Are there any survivors?" Jaco turned to ask the technicians.

"According to the investigation, there is no sign of life on the entire planet. Not to mention humans, even animals and plants have disappeared," the technician replied immediately.

"Could it have been that Saiyan?" Jaco still harbored some resentment about the Saiyan incident.

"Are you talking about Luo Tian and Broly?" Tights asked quickly, trying to calm herself down.

"Who else could it be but those two?" Jaco said in a deep voice. "Otherwise, how could Earth have become like this?"

"Impossible, absolutely not, it couldn't have been them!" Tights. "They're good kids, they wouldn't do such a thing."

"Then tell me, how did Earth become a dead star?" Jaco demanded.

"I want to go back and see!" Tights made her decision.

"Don't be silly, there must be some terrible monster up there. You'll be in danger if you go back now," Jaco said in a deep voice.

"I don't care, my parents and sister are on that planet, I need to know the answer!" Tights face pale.

Oh, and my novel too...

Will my novel still be updated?

The world is ending, all those words I wrote were for nothing.

I think I've written close to 400,000 words already.

How tragic.

"Alright then, going back to take a look isn't out of the question... but you must obey my orders and not act on your own!" Jaco's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Tights nodded vigorously, her eyes moist.

Jaco submitted his application to the Galactic King.

When Galactic King heard that Earth had suddenly become a dead star, he realized the importance of the matter and immediately sent several assistants to Jaco.

A spaceship departed from the Galactic Patrol Headquarters and sped towards Earth.

The spaceship was quite fast, and in just a few hours, it finally appeared in the sky above Earth.

The entire planet was lifeless, devoid of any greenery.

The sky turned gray, and even the sea lost its color, resembling a stagnant pool.

"How could such a beautiful planet have turned into this?" a patrol officer exclaimed. "We were observing Earth just a couple of days ago."

"I updated my novel yesterday..." Tights felt increasingly uneasy and immediately said to Jaco, "Take me back to West City right away, I want to go home!"

Jaco gave Tights a deep look, but ultimately did not object. Following the coordinates in his memory, he controlled the spaceship to fly towards the West City.

Soon, the spaceship came to a stop in the airspace West City.

Tights looked down and saw that the city was in ruins everywhere. She was immediately furious and glared at Jaco.

"Jaco! This is not West City! Do you think I don't know my way around? The buildings here are completely different from those in West City!" Tights shouted angrily, hands on her hips.

"Strange, this is really strange!" Jaco scratched his head and said in a deep voice, "The coordinates here are indeed the location of West City, there's no way they could be wrong."

"Team member Jaco, there's something else strange... We've discovered something on this planet called nuclear radiation... It's very harmful to the human body." A technician immediately provided an analysis.

"Nuclear radiation?" Jaco was taken aback.

"Nuclear radiation? Are you kidding me?" Tights was stunned. "Wasn't that kind of weapon completely destroyed hundreds of years ago?"

"Destroyed? How did you destroy it?" Jaco asked curiously.

"An advanced technological means to eliminate all Nuclear Weapons and even nuclear power plants and everything related to them," Tights replied. "I learned about it in my history textbook. It was a great advancement for humanity at the time... and during that period, my great-great-grandfather invented a new energy source that could completely replace Nuclear Weapons, which are harmful to humans."

"But according to our analysis, the Earth was indeed destroyed by Nuclear Weapons, and the entire planet is covered in nuclear radiation." The technicians gave another analysis, "Our preliminary estimate is that the planet was destroyed 300 years ago... and the nuclear radiation is now very low."

"Huh? Destroyed 300 years ago... Is this still Earth?" Tights was both amused and exasperated. "I just talked to my parents on the phone yesterday, and I even uploaded a new chapter of my novel... Are you saying Earth was destroyed 300 years ago?"

"Based on the test results, it seems so," the technician said, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Jaco, tell me, what exactly is going on?" Tights asked Jaco urgently.

"Well... I don't know what's going on either..." Jaco shook his head and instructed, "Put on your radiation protection suit and go down to take a look."

The spaceship slowly descended.

Jaco and Tights put on radiation suits and stepped out of the spaceship.

Tights felt that everything here was completely different from the Earth she was familiar with.

This is somewhat beyond Tights's comprehension.

Jaco was also baffled, so he sent his technicians back with some soil and the destroyed buildings to continue their research.

Half an hour later.

The spaceship set off and returned to space.

"Even science fiction doesn't write things like this..." Tights on the verge of tears. "The Earth was destroyed 300 years ago. Are you really trying to comfort me?"

"We have no reason to lie to you." Jaco shook his head. "Who knows what happened? I want to find out too, okay?"

"What about my mom, dad, and sister?" Tights asked with a worried look, then added, "And what about the novel I've written that's nearly 400,000 words?"

Jaco: "..."

I suddenly feel that your parents and sister seem to have little weight in the face of your novel.

There was a moment of silence.

"Tights, you are a writer worthy of respect," Jaco exclaimed.

Universe 11, Planet Pride.

After more than three hours of flight, Luo Tian and Merus finally appeared in the sky above the planet.

"First, we need to find Jiren." Merus held the Scepter and patiently searched for Jiren's location.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Tian has already returned the Scepter to Merus.

Luo Tian was just joking with him.

Luo Tian doesn't want Merus' Scepter.

Even if I had to choose, wouldn't it be better to have Vados's Scepter?

"Found it, over there." Merus pointed to a deep forest below and carefully examined Jiren with his Scepter.

Two minutes later.

"She's not even a beauty, and you've been staring at her for two minutes already," Luo Tian.

Merus: "..."

"I'm looking at his face, and judging from his appearance, Jiren is indeed a kind person," Merus said excitedly.

"You could tell that?" Luo Tian was slightly surprised. "Are you good at face reading?"

"Having met many people, I can generally judge a person's character by their facial features." Merus smiled, revealing a confident expression. "I can tell whether a person is good or bad."

"So, do you think King Kai named Zamasu is a good guy or a bad guy?" Luo Tian asked.

Merus: "???"

"Why are you suddenly bringing up Zamasu?" Merus was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Luo Tian would shift the topic to Zamasu of Universe 10.

"Just asking. If you don't want to answer, just pretend I didn't say anything." Luo Tian said indifferently.

Merus wiped his sweat.

I thought about it for a moment.

Merus then offered his analysis. "Judging from Zamasu's appearance, he is naturally a good person. After all, the fruits from the Core Star that can grow into King Kai are all top-quality fruits."

"Uh... can those fruits be eaten? Will eating them grant immortality?" Luo Tian asked casually.

Merus didn't want to talk anymore.

You always manage to kill the conversation.

"However, I don't think Zamasu is a good person. He has a rebellious streak and will surely turn against us in the future," Luo Tian pondered.

"Huh? Rebellious? What do you mean?" Merus was slightly taken aback and looked at Luo Tian with some confusion.

"That means this person might do something earth-shattering in the future, and that thing will have a huge impact on the God Realm," Luo Tian said with emotion.

"Luo Tian, why don't you go back and help Tights write her novel?" Merus said with a smile.

"Merus, you've learned to joke around too." Luo Tian laughed heartily.

"This Jiren is indeed a good candidate for Supreme Kai ..." Merus examined him carefully with his Scepter, and the more he looked, the more he liked him. "Look, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Supreme Kai."

"Tell me, what does his bulbous eyes have to do with the Supreme Kai?" Luo Tian retorted.

Merus was no longer willing to talk to Luo Tian.

I was just saying he was suitable to become the Supreme Kai, giving him a suitable reason.

You're definitely a contrarian.

It's been half a year since I last saw you, and you've become even more stubborn than before.

"What do you plan to do?" Luo Tian asked.

"What else can we do? Let's go and pay him a visit," Merus said seriously after thinking for a moment.

"Visit directly? In what capacity?" Luo Tian asked again.

"Of course, it's as Apprentice Angel. What else can we do?" Merus replied.

"What if he really isn't interested in the Supreme Kai? What are you going to do then?" Luo Tian asked. "Should we knock him out and take him back to 'train' him properly?"

Merus: "..."

You're really rough.

I'm training Supreme Kai, so I can't use the same methods as training God of Destruction.

"With your current strength, knocking him out shouldn't be a problem, right?" Luo Tian asked again.

Merus didn't want to talk to Luo Tian.

I am, after all, an Apprentice Angel.

How could I possibly lose to a human?

Although I know this human is very strong, angels are not weak either!

The angels will not disappear as long as they don't fight with all their might.

Besides, this wasn't a fight; I just knocked him unconscious.

As Merus pondered this, he suddenly realized that Luo Tian had once again led him astray.

I didn't intend to knock Jiren.

You're the one who fooled me.

You almost led me astray again.

Merus kept wiping away his sweat.

He easily fooled me.

"Luo Tian, don't say anything, just watch from the side." Merus was afraid that Luo Tian would talk too much and persuade Jiren to stop wanting to be the Supreme Kai.

"Okay, I won't say anything, I'll just watch from the side." Luo Tian readily agreed.

"Please," Merus said politely.

The next moment, Merus and Luo Tian descended from the sky and landed in front of Jiren's house.

Jiren's house was like a secluded paradise, with its own private entrance and courtyard.

At this moment, Jiren was hovering in the air, resting with his eyes closed.

This is one of Jiren's training methods, somewhat like the meditation and training that Gohan and Krillin did on their way to Planet Namek in the spaceship.

Jiren sensed the sky and the earth, his expression calm.

Suddenly, Jiren seemed to sense something and immediately looked up and quickly glanced in the direction not far away.

At that glance, Jiren immediately spotted Luo Tian and Merus descending from the sky.

Jiren silent, his face expressionless, as he looked at the two people who had landed at the doorway.

"Knock knock!"

Merus went up and knocked on the door.

Jiren slowly landed on the ground.

"Is anyone there?" Merus asked from outside.

Jiren: "..."

"Mr. Jiren, are you home?" Merus asked politely.

Jiren didn't want to talk anymore.

Didn't we glance at each other in the air?

When you ask that question... I don't even know how to answer it.

Jiren calmly stepped forward and opened the door.

Merus immediately bowed to Jiren.

Jiren didn't react much, he just looked Merus up and down.

Jiren easily deduced his identity from Merus's attire.

"What is your relationship with Marcarita?" Jiren asked.

"I am Apprentice Angel Merus, Marcarita's brother," Merus answered truthfully.

"Is there something you need?" Jiren asked.

"I would like to invite you to be my Apprentice Supreme Kai." Merus went straight to the point. "I wonder if Mr. Jiren would agree?"

Here's the update schedule: I'll be updating about 15,000 words per day this month, with 5,000 words per chapter.
