Merus, Be More Confident!

"Then, I'll come back after I've thoroughly studied this book!" Vegeta said to Luo Tian.

"Next, I will send you to Planet Namek, which will become your new battlefield," Luo Tian said thoughtfully.

"Planet Namek?" Vegeta was taken aback. "Didn't we go there before?"

"Don't you have any wishes you want to fulfill?" Luo Tian smiled slightly.

Vegeta was startled and immediately came to his senses.

Yes, I also want to be immortal.

And I have to go to Sadala.

First, I'll go to Planet Namek to fulfill my wish, and then I'll go to Sadala.

Vegeta hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not tell Luo Tian about Sadala.

Luo Tian, you just wait. Once I gain immortality and become the king of Sadala, I will return and make you submit.

I knelt down and cried before you just to fit the occasion... Now I regret it.

Let me take a look at this Ultra Ego!

Once I've increased my strength, I'll crush Kakarot and then go on to rule the entire Planet Sadala.

"This trip to Planet Namek will bring you even greater opportunities," Luo Tian said with a smile. As he spoke, he suddenly shouted two words, "Come, staff!"

Vegeta looked completely bewildered.

What's the meaning?

Goku also couldn't understand it.

"Call out!"

Luo Tian's Scepter flew from the ground of Bulma's house and struck Vegeta on the head with its tail.

"Awoo..."

A large bump swelled up on Vegeta's head.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I did it on purpose," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta was in so much pain that he kept grimacing.

If you did it on purpose... then you don't need to say sorry anymore.

"Smack!"

Luo Tian held the Scepter and waved it in the air.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the surrounding space. The gap was pitch black, more than 10 meters long and no more than 1 meter wide, and was filled with streaks of black lightning.

"Bang!"

Luo Tian kicked Vegeta, sending him flying into the gap.

"Vegeta, your vision is too narrow. King of Sadala, how could you even come up with that?" Luo Tian sighed helplessly.

Vegeta was instantly sucked into the dark gap and quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Whoosh!"

Vegeta tumbled hundreds of times in that dark gap, and when he finally stopped, he landed on the ground with a thud on his backside.

Vegeta immediately jumped up from the ground and looked around.

Upon seeing this, Vegeta's expression changed slightly; he clearly felt that he had returned to the Earth he had been on before.

That Earth without a single living being.

Immediately afterwards, Vegeta heard a voice suddenly come from over.

"Vegeta, your vision is too narrow. King of Sadala, how did you even come up with that idea?"

"W-w-w..." Vegeta looked bewildered. "Can you tell what I'm thinking?"

However, that gap is gradually closing.

When Vegeta finally came to his senses, he immediately lunged toward the gap.

"Snap!"

The breach collapsed instantly and disappeared completely.

Vegeta threw himself onto the ground, giving it a close embrace.

Immediately afterwards, Vegeta leaped to his feet, looked around, and his face was filled with seriousness.

A brief silence.

Vegeta was speechless again.

Why did you leave me here?

Vegeta looked up at the giant vortex in the sky, hesitating for a moment.

That vortex looked terrifying. I was spinning so much inside the spaceship that I felt dizzy. If I went straight in, I wondered if the area I was spinning in was actually outer space.

If it were outer space, I would die inside.

Vegeta dared not venture into the vortex without authorization.

At that very moment, Vegeta was thinking this.

"Smack!"

Another dark gap appeared at the scene.

Immediately afterwards, a spaceship was thrown out of it.

"Go. Meet on Planet Namek in 30 days," Luo Tian's voice rang out. "Don't disappoint me this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gap closed again.

Vegeta looked in the direction of the gap, gave a stubborn snort, and then soared into the air, landing next to the spaceship.

Vegeta opened the hatch of the spaceship and strode inside.

"Smack!"

The spaceship's hatch closed, instantly breaking through the atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in outer space.

The next moment, Vegeta calmly took out the book "The Ultra Instinct Training Manual" and began to read it seriously.

"Destruction? Is this the amazing skill that the God of Destruction trained in?" Vegeta looked thoughtful. "It doesn't seem too difficult!"

After carefully flipping through the book again, Vegeta's smile gradually brightened.

"Kakarot, just you wait! I'll surpass you!" Vegeta clenched his fists tightly.

The Universe 6, Earth.

When Luo Tian waved his Scepter, a long crack appeared on the scene, startling the people present who looked at each other in disbelief.

"Luo Tian, what kind of move is this? Where did Vegeta go?" Goku scratched his head and asked curiously.

"This is Cosmic Great Fission born from powerful energy, capable of instantly sending a person back to the Universe 7," Luo Tian explained with a smile.

"Huh? That's amazing?" Goku was stunned. "I wonder when I'll be able to cultivate such a skill."

"Take your time," Luo Tian said with a slight smile.

"But speaking of which, Luo Tian, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't be a match for Vegeta, and I'd probably have lost badly." Goku quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"There's no need to be polite. If you want to revive your dead comrades, you'll need to do some things yourselves," Luo Tian said, looking at Goku.

"Are we going to Planet Namek too? But what's that planet for?" Goku asked curiously.

"Goku, that planet is Piccolo's home planet," Krillin explained.

"Piccolo's home planet? Is that the planet of Piccolo's mother?" Goku asked, scratching his head.

Krillin: "..."

Piccolo: "..."

The two were speechless.

"Goku, the so-called mother planet means the planet where you were born," Krillin said hastily, wiping his sweat.

"Oh, I see... So, there are Dragon Balls on that planet too?" Goku understood.

"Go back to Bulma and get a spaceship, then immediately head to Planet Namek. There are Dragon Balls there that can grant wishes, so we can use Dragon Balls to revive our fallen comrades," Luo Tian said with a smile. "You guys handle the rest yourselves. I have some business to attend to and need to leave Earth."

"Huh? Are we leaving Earth?" Goku was slightly taken aback.

Luo Tian said no more, and with a flash of light, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Tian was back by Merus's side.

Merus: "..."

Merus looked at Luo Tian without saying a word.

"Let's go, let's go. What are you standing there daydreaming about?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.

"Did you just use the Cosmic Great Fission?" Merus asked hurriedly.

"You saw everything?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.

"How did you manage to pinpoint Earth's location so precisely?" Merus asked, somewhat surprised.

"Merus, once you reach level 58, I believe you will be able to achieve precise positioning as well," Luo Tian smiled.

Merus felt a pang of heartache at that moment.

What you said sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

In fact, this was the first time Luo Tian had used the Cosmic Great Fission.

To Luo Tian's surprise, it was quite easy to use.

Of course, something like the Cosmic Great Fission is best used when throwing people.

To actually squeeze into that narrow crevice and enter another universe through it feels a bit like lowering myself.

Therefore, angels do not usually use this skill to travel through the universe.

"What are your thoughts on the battle between the Supreme Kai?" Luo Tian asked Merus with a smile.

Merus fell silent.

"Oh dear... poor little angel." Linglong couldn't help but sigh softly, "During his formative years, he actually encountered a monster like you... It has had a great impact on his mentality..."

"It's not like I'm trying to influence him on purpose," Luo Tian replied calmly.

"The Grand Minister should bear the main responsibility for this!" Linglong pondered. "If the Grand Minister hadn't insisted on comparing him to you, I believe Merus would have had a very enjoyable experience as Galactic Patrol."

"That makes sense. Let's all despise the Grand Minister." Luo Tian nodded in deep agreement.

"Pfft... Okay, let's all despise him!" Linglong's eyebrows curved, and she smiled like a flower.

"Merus, don't feel pressured." Luo Tian patted Merus on the shoulder and comforted him. "Look at Goku and Vegeta. From today onwards, Vegeta will always regard Goku as his lifelong rival, but Goku has never even looked Vegeta in the eye."

"Is that so?" Merus replied thoughtfully, then suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly asked, "Wait a minute, do you mean the two of us are Goku and Vegeta? You seem to be thinking of yourself as Goku and me as Vegeta..."

"Merus, be more confident, and drop the word 'seems'." Luo Tian grinned.

Merus: "..."

Merus really didn't want to talk anymore.

That's so heartbreaking.

How can it be that from your words, I only have eyes for you, yet you disregard me?

"I might not lose to the Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction!" Merus said stubbornly. "Don't forget, with Mr. Goku's intelligence, he's definitely not as good as Jiren in the humanities exam! Even if he can defeat Jiren in a contest of strength, it would only be a draw."

"In that case, I'd better find someone else..." Luo Tian suggested.

"No!" Merus gritted his teeth. "You don't have to go easy on me!"

"Think about it again. There are still 15 years left," Luo Tian said with a smile.

Merus remained silent, then gently raised his hand and tapped the Scepter on the ground.

"I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Merus' body radiated a dazzling light like stars.

"Call out!"

Merus vanished into the starry sky in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

"Huh? Where's Merus?" Bulma came out of the room with a cup of tea and found that Merus was gone.

"He's gone." Luo Tian looked up at the sky.

"How rude... Are all angels this rude? They didn't even say goodbye before leaving!" Bulma snorted. "And I even brewed him a fresh pot of tea!"

"Bulma, I'm going to leave Earth for a while..." Luo Tian said thoughtfully. "Let Goku and Krillin talk to you about your situation."

"You're leaving Earth again?" Bulma was taken aback, then sighed. "Never mind, I know you have important things to do, but I'd like to ask, how long will you be gone this time?"

"It's hard to say, but I'll come back to visit often," Luo Tian replied.

The reason for leaving Earth is that Luo Tian needs to keep an eye on Broly's Great God of Destruction War.

Although angels are not allowed to participate in this matter, there's nothing wrong with watching from the sidelines, right?

"I'm leaving now." Luo Tian tapped his Scepter lightly on the ground, and his body radiated a dazzling light like stars.

"Call out!"

Luo Tian immediately soared into the sky and quickly disappeared from sight under Bulma's watchful gaze.

Not long after Luo Tian left, Goku and the others arrived at Bulma's house once again.

"Huh? Bulma, where's Luo Tian?" Goku asked.

"They've already left Earth; they said they have important things to do," Bulma replied.

"Huh? They've already left?" Goku scratched his head.

"Hmph!" Piccolo snorted.

Didn't we agree that if I trained Gohan, he would teach me more powerful skills?

Have you forgotten about this?

"Where's Broly?" Goku asked again.

"Broly left a long time ago, saying he was going to run for some god..." Bulma replied.

"Forget about that for now. Didn't Luo Tian say we should go to Planet Namek?" Krillin suggested. "If we go to Planet Namek, we can use the Dragon Balls there to revive Chiaotzu and the others! Chiaotzu died once, and only the Dragon Balls of Planet Namek can revive him."

Piccolo fell silent, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Piccolo, want to come along?" Goku asked.

"Of course, of course I want to go back to the place where I was born." Piccolo nodded.

"Piccolo, you were born on Earth, weren't you?" Krillin immediately corrected him.

Piccolo's face darkened, and he glared angrily at Krillin.

Do you really think that just because we fought together, you consider me, King Piccolo, your teammate?

"I didn't say anything." Krillin covered his mouth and quickly changed the subject. "But speaking of which... I heard that the Dragon Balls of Planet Namek can grant three wishes. Can I ask Shenron for a girlfriend?"

"Krillin, you really want a girlfriend? I'll make one for you," Bulma chuckled. "A temperature-controlled one."

Krillin: "..."

"Bulma, you've gone too far!" Krillin glared angrily.

"By the way, Bulma, do you have a spaceship here?" Goku suddenly asked.

"Huh? A spaceship? Now that you mention it, it seems there really isn't a suitable spaceship..." Bulma gently shook her head.

"No, Bulma, didn't Luo Tian bring back some spaceships before?" Krillin asked.

"I've already used up those materials, and only those materials can enable space travel," Bulma said thoughtfully. "But I'll think of another way to get the spaceship."

"Bulma, if there really is a spaceship, could you help me modify it? I want to train on it," Goku suggested.

The Void Realm.

Merus was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to enter the Void Realm from the Universe 6.

Merus channeled his frustration into speed, swiftly traversing this void.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure flashed in front of Merus.

Merus paused for a moment, then abruptly stopped in mid-air and knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Grand Minister," Merus replied respectfully.

"Merus, your mind is in turmoil; this is not the mindset an angel should have," the Grand Minister sighed helplessly.

"Yes... Grand Minister ..." Merus had no choice but to nod.

"I already know about what happened to Goku," the Grand Minister said thoughtfully. "You have nothing to be disappointed about. Even I didn't see the potential for Goku to cultivate the Angelic Power."

"Huh? Even the Grand Minister didn't notice?" Merus was taken aback, but hearing the Grand Minister's words, he felt much better.

"I guess even Luo Tian himself didn't notice it. You can tell from the surprised expression on his face at the time." The Grand Minister smiled slightly. "Moreover, Luo Tian's initial idea was just to let Goku cultivate the Ultra Instinct and make him stronger as soon as possible. But what he didn't expect was that Goku would release a tiny bit of Angelic Power."

"Then... Grand Minister, can Mr. Goku also become an angel through training?" Merus asked.

"It's very difficult... Just as Luo Tian said, by the time Mr. Goku becomes a true angel, he will probably be at least 90 years old." The Grand Minister pondered, "Perhaps there will be some opportunity to complete the transformation into an angel ahead of time... He and Luo Tian took different paths, mainly because his previous cultivation was more mixed."

"Are we going to train Mr. Goku to become a real angel?" Merus asked again.

"If he truly has the potential to become a real angel, then of course he needs to be properly nurtured." The Grand Minister nodded gently, his hands behind his back. "However, haste makes waste. Let him grow on his own for a while. Besides, Luo Tian will also cultivate him towards becoming an angel."

"Something's not right..." Merus suddenly felt that the conversation was getting increasingly awkward.

After all that... it seems I still lost.

Once Goku becomes a true angel, what will Jiren have to fight him with?

"Based on my speculation, it would be very difficult for Mr. Goku to comprehend the true Ultra Instinct and reach the peak state of the human Luo Tian, which is above Level 30, in just 15 years. So you can rest assured and don't give up easily," the Grand Minister instructed Merus.

"Really? Great, I know what to do!" Merus nodded vigorously.

As long as Goku cannot grasp the true Ultra Instinct, Jiren still has a chance to win.

After all, Jiren is now Level 30.

"Keep your mindset in check, and don't get anxious because of temporary gains or losses," the Grand Minister advised. "You are an angel, so you must always maintain a peaceful heart."

"Yes, Grand Minister, I have noted it down." Merus bowed.

"Whoosh!"

The Grand Minister disappeared immediately after he finished speaking.

After the Grand Minister's persuasion, Merus' mood gradually calmed down.

Yes, even the Grand Minister didn't realize that Mr. Goku could cultivate Angelic Power.

Luo Tian must have been guessing.

You're really lucky.

Anyone could reach this level.

At that moment, Merus even felt a little regretful.

At that time, Luo Tian wanted to exchange Goku and Jiren, but Merus refused.

As a result... now that things have come to this, Merus felt a little uneasy.

I wish I had changed it back then.

Looking at the Void Realm stretched out everywhere, Merus's recently calmed mood began to turn complicated again.

Where should I go next?

Why don't you Kale a proper training?

No matter what, I absolutely cannot lose a battle against God of Destruction!

It's extremely difficult for Jiren's side to improve their strength by another level.

However, Kale still has a lot of room for growth.

I want to Kale to be as strong as Broly in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Merus turned around and glanced in the direction of Universe 6.

I have to go back to Universe 6!

I'll go back to find Kale and bring her to my side as soon as possible.

"Call out!"

Merus took a detour and returned to Universe 6.

Not long after Merus left, in another area of the Void Realm, Broly and Buu encountered a woman dressed in the armor of God of Destruction.

The woman had dark skin, but a fairly good figure.

The two sides then met face to face.

"You must be Broly, the Apprentice God of Destruction from Universe 18?" Heles snorted, looking at Broly with a sly smile.

Broly took out the cards and flipped through them, stopping at the card for Universe 2 and looking at the description on it.

Heles: The second God of Destruction, Level 53.

Buu also craned his neck to look at the card.

Buu was delighted when he saw the opponent's level.

"Hehe, same level as me." Buu grinned.

"Shall we do it, or shall we?" Broly asked.

"I'll go!" Buu rubbed his fists together. "It's been a long time since I've fought. Let's warm up first."

With that, Buu flew forward, closing the distance between himself and Heles.

"You can't turn people into chocolate," Broly cautioned.

"Okay, okay," Buu readily agreed.

"What? You fatso, you want to challenge this God of Destruction?" Heles snorted.

Majin Buu nodded, then suddenly realized that this guy was actually swearing.

Buu's eyes turned fierce.

"I believe you already know the rules of the game, and I can kill you all!" Heles sneered.

"Boom!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Buu spewed out streams of white gas from the vents on his shoulders and head.

In just a moment, Buu raised his energy to its limit.

"Hmph!" Heles snorted coldly, and with a slight lift of his hand, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand.

Heles nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed the arrow at Majin Buu's body.

"Ready, you fatso!" Heles said, without the slightest hesitation, and released his grip.

"Call out!"

A crimson arrow whistled towards Buu.

"Pfft!"

The arrow was incredibly fast, piercing through Buu's body in the blink of an eye and leaving a hole in him.

Buu looked down at the hole in his chest and fell straight down into the Void Realm.

"Broly, your allies are too weak, aren't they?" Heles sneered. "Next up is you. Looks like your so-called Great God of Destruction has had a rough start!"

Broly didn't say anything, but looked in Buu's direction.

As soon as Heles finished speaking, he noticed that Majin Buu was not far away, moved slightly.

"Oh? It can still move? Its vitality is quite strong," Heles commented with a smile. "But that's normal, after all, God of Destruction all have strong vitality!"

Immediately afterwards, Heles calmly nocked an arrow and aimed it at Broly's body.

"Are you ready, Great God of Destruction!" Heles' lips curled up slightly, and he laughed heartily.

Broly didn't move, he just stared quietly at Heles.

"Can you dodge it?" Heles chuckled.

"Call out!"

Without further hesitation, Heles released his grip, and an arrow whistled towards Broly's direction.

Broly still didn't move.

Just as the arrow was about to pierce Broly's chest, Majin Buu, who was lying there, suddenly leaped up and slammed his head heavily into the arrow.

The arrow was deflected and grazed past Broly's arm.

"Oh? You're quite quick-witted." Heles smiled, not at all surprised.

"It hurt a little just now." Buu pointed to the hole in his chest and gritted his teeth to recover through regeneration.

"Regeneration?" Heles was slightly taken aback. "I underestimated your vitality. You should have attached some Power of Destruction to the arrow just now, otherwise your regeneration would have been more difficult."

"Are you sure you can do it? If not, I'll do it." Broly glanced at Buu.

"That was just a warm-up; this time I'm serious," Buu said, quickly charging towards Heles.

"Bang!"

However, just as Buu charged forward, Heles kicked him in the face.

Instantly, a deep indentation appeared on Buu's face from a shoe print.

"Bang bang bang!"

Heles intensified his attacks, punching and kicking Majin Buu.

For a time, Buu was beaten so badly that he was powerless to fight back.

Broly: "..."

One minute later.

Heles kicked out suddenly.

With a muffled thud, Buu was kicked away like a ball and disappeared without a trace.

Heles calmly conjured a bow and arrow, drew the string taut, and the arrow flashed with a purplish-red light.

"This time, it might not be so easy to regenerate," Heles said with a smile.

"Call out!"

The arrow in Heles' hand flew out, whistling towards Majin Buu in the distant area.
