Merus: Level 60? Do You Automatically Level Up When the Time Comes?
"The God of Destruction?" Cooler's expression changed drastically. "Is it Lord Beerus? This shouldn't be the case. Hasn't our family always been doing things for Lord Beerus? Is it because we haven't done things well? We've destroyed quite a few planets for him."
"Of course not Lord Beerus," Frieza scoffed. "I'm talking about the Gods of Destruction of the Universe."
"You mean, besides Lord Beerus, there are other God of Destruction?" Cooler paused for a moment, then asked in surprise.
"Cooler, you're so out of touch," Frieza sighed softly, adding sarcastically, "How come you don't even know these things?"
Cooler's face darkened.
Nobody told me, how could I possibly know?
"Cooler ... this universe is far more complex than we imagine. Besides our universe, there are 11 other universes, and each universe has a God of Destruction," Frieza explained simply to Cooler. "As far as I know, a long, long time ago, when we traveled to the edge of the universe, that region was called the Void Realm! By passing through the vast Void Realm of Nothingness, we could reach other universes! Nobody told you this, did they?"
Cooler slowly shook his head, having learned something new from Frieza's words.
I never imagined that other universes existed.
"So how did you offend the Gods of Destruction of the Universe?" Cooler asked, wagging his tail.
Frieza: "..."
"Stop talking nonsense and show me how Planet Namek is doing right now!" Frieza gritted his teeth, not wanting to bring up the humiliation, and quickly changed the subject, ordering Cooler.
"What? You're still going to Planet Namek?" Cooler asked, his eyes twitching slightly.
"Hmph, although I was beaten by the God of Destruction, the God of Destruction can't stay on that planet for long. I'm going to finish what I didn't finish!" Frieza clenched his fists tightly. "Damn it, those little ants should take this opportunity to collect Dragon Balls! My wish is Frieza's, and you lowly creatures can forget about it."
The underling immediately went forward to investigate Planet Namek and then reported back to Frieza that no rat-like humans were found on the scene.
Instead, they discovered a strange dragon, whose appearance plunged the entire Planet Namek into darkness.
"A strange dragon?" Frieza was taken aback, his face changing color. "Could it be... that they're granting their wishes through this strange dragon?"
After saying this, Frieza immediately stepped forward, opened the hatch of the spaceship, and flew out of the ship, transforming into a streak of light as he hurtled towards Planet Namek.
"I will never forgive you! How dare you steal my Dragon Balls and fulfill your wishes first! I will tear you all to pieces!" Frieza roared, increasing his speed and leaving a bright trail of flame in the starry sky.
As Frieza's figure gradually disappeared, Cooler fell into deep thought.
"Lord Cooler, should we go up and help?" Salza asked.
"I already said, this is Frieza's own business, let him handle it himself," Cooler said calmly and indifferently.
"Yes!" Salza replied.
"So... Lord Cooler... shall we leave this Starfield?" Dore stepped forward and asked.
"No need to rush, let's check the situation over there first," Cooler said thoughtfully. "Point the surveillance cameras towards Planet Namek and see how Frieza bullies those little ants."
Planet Namek.
Goku and his friends finally collected all seven Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron.
Porunga hovered above the dark night sky, its enormous body emitting a green glow.
The people present, including Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, and Kale, were all stunned. They looked up at the giant dragon, their mouths slightly open, revealing their shock.
"Wow, it's huge... much bigger than Shenron on Earth... Is this the real Shenron?" Krillin exclaimed.
"I see it! I see Planet Namek's Shenron!" Goku laughed.
Aside from striving to become stronger and diligently cultivating, when Goku encountered Shenron or similar creatures, he simply wanted to see what they looked like.
That's all.
Therefore, it was Goku's mindset that enabled him to achieve his extraordinary future.
"The shape is different too... It's completely different from Shenron on Earth," Gohan muttered.
"This is the first time I've ever seen this either," Dende exclaimed.
Kale was so frightened that she trembled and quickly hid behind Gohan.
"Don't be afraid, Kale, this is Shenron, it won't hurt you." Gohan held Kale's hand and comforted her with a smile.
"Brother Gohan isn't afraid... Kale isn't afraid either." Kale nodded vigorously.
"Actually... I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I was really scared when I first participated in a battle. It felt like the world was about to end." Gohan smiled sheepishly.
"Really?" Kale felt much better.
I thought I was the only one who was scared.
It turns out that everyone has this kind of timidity.
"I will protect you here," Gohan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Gohan... you remind me of my sister." Kale spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister? Isn't she with you?" Gohan taken aback.
"No, I was taken away from the planet by my Merus and went to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters ..." Kale explained.
"Let's go back to find my sister after Kale training," Gohan said with a smile.
Kale nodded vigorously, feeling much better.
"Whoever has collected Dragon Balls, tell me your wish, and I will do my best to grant you three wishes!" Porunga's resounding voice echoed in the air.
However, after Porunga's voice fell, he suddenly saw the Great Elder appear on the scene.
"Lord Great Elder, have you regained your youth?" Porunga greeted politely.
"Thanks to Luo Tian, I have regained my youth, and now I feel my whole body is filled with explosive power." The Great Elder smiled and nodded to Porunga.
"Mr. Luo Tian? Is he the Saiyan who wanted to become an angel? I remember him!" As Porunga spoke, large beads of sweat rolled down his face.
This kid didn't make a proper wish last time; he was just teasing me.
"That was all a long time ago," the Great Elder said with an awkward smile.
Porunga immediately looked at Vegeta.
Vegeta: "..."
Why are you looking at me like that?
Take your eyes off me!
That dragon is such a jerk!
Is it because I was tricked by you more than 20 years ago?
"Stop chatting! I sense an extremely powerful aura coming from the starry sky! Is that Frieza making a comeback?" Piccolo's face changed color.
"It's definitely Frieza's aura!" Goku said gravely. "Hurry up and make a wish!"
"Hurry up and state your wishes," the Great Elder nodded and urged.
"That's amazing! As expected of the real Shenron, he's so generous, allowing three wishes." Krillin laughed heartily, then quickly became serious. "There's no time for sentimentality now. My first wish is to revive all the Earthlings killed by Vegeta, Nappa, and the Saibaman."
Vegeta: "..."
That bastard!
"Have I ever killed any Earthlings?" Vegeta roared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Ah... Vegeta, I'm sorry... After all, you and Nappa came together, and you were the Saibaman, right?" Krillin asked.
Vegeta snorted, his teeth itching with hatred.
That nasty little bald guy.
However, Vegeta is still injured, and he doesn't dare to be too reckless when granting wishes.
Otherwise, if people don't grant your wish, you'll just be anxious and helpless.
"That's impossible. I can only bring one person back to life at a time," the voice of the Shenron Porunga rang out.
"Huh?" Krillin was struck dumb.
"Can't we revive many people at once?" Goku asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, we can't... but we can make some improvements later." The Great Elder took over the conversation, pondering for a moment. "Perhaps then we can fulfill this wish, but not now... Besides, didn't you only want to resurrect someone who has died twice?"
"That's true. If Planet Namek's Shenron could save everyone, we wouldn't need to waste Earth's Dragon Balls," Goku laughed.
Great Elder: "..."
That kid.
You call this a waste?
"Then let's bring the Chiaotzu back to life," Piccolo suggested.
"Dende, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please bring the Chiaotzu back to life on Earth," Krillin said hurriedly to Dende.
"Yes." Dende stepped forward and made a wish to Shenron in Namekian Language.
Porunga fell silent instantly.
A brief silence.
"That guy named Chiaotzu who died... is currently in Universe 6, right?" asked the Shenron Porunga.
Dende immediately looked at Krillin with a puzzled expression.
"That seems to be the case." Krillin nodded.
Porunga: "..."
"Shenron, is this wish so hard to fulfill? Can't it be fulfilled across the universe?" Goku suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Originally, it was impossible to fulfill a wish by crossing the barrier, but there happens to be a passage in the direction of Earth. By going through that passage, one can barely fulfill this wish... but it takes a lot of energy..." As the Shenron Porunga spoke, his expression turned rather grim.
Do these people all have some special relationship with Luo Tian?
They always come up with these kinds of wishes that are hard to fulfill.
You guys are really something, actually crossing a universe to make a wish.
A full 10 seconds passed.
"My first wish has been granted." Sweat trickled down the face of the Shenron Porunga.
This... this is really exhausting...
Fulfilling a wish feels like it takes up most of my energy.
It's incredibly difficult to fulfill a wish across a universe.
This is because there is a passage on the other side of Earth.
Without a passage, this wish cannot be fulfilled.
"Thank you, Shenron." Goku quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Speak your second wish!" Porunga's voice was no longer as loud as before.
"Hey, you promised the other two wishes are mine!" Vegeta snapped, limping over and grabbing Dende by the collar.
"Let him go. I Namekian Language. I'll make a wish for you," Piccolo said calmly.
"Hmph, that's more like it." Vegeta's face lit up with joy, then he looked at Piccolo warily and asked, "Piccolo, would you really be so kind? I hope you don't trick me, or I'll make you suffer a terrible death."
"Then do as you please, Shenron. We have no more wishes," Piccolo suddenly said, looking up at Shenron.
Vegeta panicked immediately and flew up unsteadily, waving his hand at Piccolo.
"Piccolo, you bastard!" Vegeta roared, "Hurry up and grant my wish, or the first person I'll ever forgive when I become God of Destruction is you!"
"Piccolo... hurry up, Frieza's almost here!" Krillin panicked, his composure crumbling. "Stop teasing Vegeta..."
"Frieza will arrive in no more than three minutes." Goku's expression was also extremely solemn.
"Speak, tell me your wish." Piccolo snorted, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
"My first wish is for me Vegeta..." Vegeta shouted.
"You should say it's your second wish." Piccolo smiled confidently. "Don't worry, my time estimation is very accurate, there's plenty of time."
"My second wish! To make me Vegeta, immortal!" Vegeta gritted his teeth and voiced his wish.
Piccolo immediately made a wish to Shenron in Namekian Language.
Shenron glanced at Gohan with his bright eyes, nodded slightly, and replied, "I understand, but this wish cannot be granted. I do not have the ability to grant a human immortality."
The Great Elder and Nail glanced at Gohan but remained silent.
Dende glanced back at Gohan, but naturally didn't say anything more.
Gohan: "???"
Why are you all looking at me like that?
"Frieza was right after all." Vegeta, oblivious to the gazes of the Namekian, clenched his fists and hurriedly said, "Then can I have powerful regenerative abilities? Is that a wish?"
Piccolo relayed Vegeta's words, slightly modified, to the Shenron Porunga in Namekian Language.
"This wish can be granted!" Porunga nodded slightly. "I can give him regenerative abilities similar to Majin Buu!"
"Who is Majin Buu?" Vegeta asked curiously.
The Shenron Porunga looked at Vegeta with a compassionate gaze.
This poor guy...
The wish remains the same, but it's not for you.
"Simply put, the regenerative ability I bestowed is a cytoplasmic regeneration constitution. As long as a single cell survives, it can be restored through regeneration," the Shenron Porunga explained simply.
Vegeta was both surprised and delighted.
That's such a wonderful wish!
So, in effect, I am immortal.
"This kind of desire does indeed have a very strong advantage over humans," Porunga explained. "I will now grant your second wish!"
As he spoke, an invisible divine Divine Power flashed in Shenron's eyes and quickly covered Gohan's body.
Gohan was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Uncle Piccolo ..." Gohan felt a strange change in his body.
"Shut up!" Piccolo yelled.
Gohan: "..."
Why won't you let me speak?
Why do I feel like there's something different about my body?
Okay, if you don't want me to say it, I won't...
Vegeta was also silently waiting for his body to change.
However, after waiting for a while, Vegeta did not see any strange changes in his body.
"Alright, your second wish has been granted," the voice of the Shenron Porunga rang out.
"You... what did you say? Your wish has been granted? Why don't I feel any changes in my body?" Vegeta increasingly felt that something was wrong.
"There will be delays, which is normal. After all, modifying your body takes time," Piccolo explained.
Shenron: "..."
Your explanation seems quite reasonable, so I'll keep quiet.
Vegeta thought about it carefully, and what Piccolo said seemed to make sense.
There seems to be a delay!
It's impossible to instantly transform into a regenerable body!
Yes, after all, your body needs a gradual process to change.
"Hurry up and say your third wish!" Piccolo suggested. "Frieza is coming soon."
"My third wish! The wish I just made, could it grant me the ability to survive in outer space?" Vegeta was about to make his wish when he suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up to ask Shenron.
"Yes, without altering your Saiyan bloodline, I've already granted you the ability to regenerate. As for surviving in outer space, for someone of your physique, it's essentially a skill. Once you master this skill, you can survive in outer space," Shenron explained to Gohan Porunga.
However, the Shenron's eyes were very large, both pairs of eyes were as big as a human's.
Therefore, although Vegeta felt that Shenron wasn't looking at him, he didn't really think about it in any other way.
Vegeta's face lit up with smugness.
"Hmph, since that's how it is, then I have no more wishes. You guys figure it out." Vegeta waved his hand with great pride.
Piccolo: "..."
Poor thing...
Should I make a wish so that he can have the same abilities as Gohan?
Just as Piccolo was about to make the decision, the Great Elder spoke up.
"Can the Shenron on Earth resurrect all the Namekian killed by Frieza and his crew across the universe?" the Great Elder asked Piccolo.
"I don't know about that." Piccolo shook his head. "You should ask the Kami of Earth about that. I'm not one of them."
"Can you contact the Kami on Earth?" the Great Elder asked. "If possible, could you ask if they could resurrect all the Namekian killed by Frieza and his gang? Please!"
"I'll give it a try." Goku nodded and attempted to contact King Kai.
As expected, Goku made contact with King Kai.
"I understand... However, since it involves a different universe, it's unclear whether Earth's Shenron can grant Planet Namek's wish." King Kai's voice echoed in Goku's mind.
"Then please give it a try, King Kai," Goku replied.
King Kai wasted no time and immediately contacted the Kami on Earth of Universe 6.
"King Kai? Luckily, I've been having Mr. Popo collect the Dragon Balls... just in case... What did you say? You want to revive the Namekian killed by Frieza and his Planet Namek? In my experience, Shenron granting this wish is very simple, not difficult at all." Kami laughed and said confidently, "As long as they haven't died twice, it's no problem."
"What I mean is... can a wish be granted across a universe?" King Kai asked.
"Crossing a universe? What does that mean?" The Kami was a little confused.
"You should summon Shenron and ask him," King Kai sighed.
Although Kami didn't quite understand, he immediately summoned Shenron in the Lookout and made a wish as King Kai had instructed, reviving all the Namekian killed by Frieza and his crew.
Earth's Shenron: "..."
The Earth's Shenron fell silent.
"Across a universe... This wish... I'm sorry, Kami Majesty, it cannot be granted," the Shenron replied.
Kami: "????"
"What does it mean to cross a universe?" The Kami couldn't understand.
"Simply put, we are not in the same universe as Planet Namek right now," Shenron explained. "Our Earth is currently in Universe 6, Planet Namek belongs to Universe 7... To cross universes to fulfill wishes... I'm afraid I can't help you because the distance is too great."
The Kami were speechless.
How did this even cross a universe?
The Kami immediately relayed the news to the King Kai.
King Kai was just about to reply to Goku that his wish could not be granted.
Just then, the Kami suddenly spoke again, saying that the Shenron had tried again and it worked, but it was quite energy-consuming.
King Kai: "..."
"Why is it possible again?" the Kami asked.
"For some reason, a portal has opened between us and the Universe 7. Through this portal, I can have my wish granted," Shenron replied. "Would you like to have your wish granted?"
"Then please grant my request, I beg you." The Kami nodded.
"It may take some time, because fulfilling such a wish is extremely energy-consuming," Shenron replied.
A full minute passed.
Large beads of sweat rolled down the Shenron's face, its enormous body trembled slightly, and its appearance became noticeably lighter.
It seems that even the Shenron was somewhat apprehensive about fulfilling this wish.
"The wish has been fulfilled..." The Shenron breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Would you like to rest for a while before you go?" the Kami asked.
Shenron: "..."
Wouldn't it be better for me to rest and sleep?
The Shenron waved its claws and immediately vanished from the sky.
The seven Dragon Balls scattered across the world in an instant, and the sky returned to its bright state.
"King Kai, your wish has been granted. Please tell Goku and the others what happened," the Kami said respectfully.
"Okay." King Kai nodded and relayed the message to Goku.
Universe 7, Planet Namek.
High in the sky.
"Yes, that's right, just like that." Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction and patted Merus on the shoulder. "I have to say, Merus, you're getting better and better."
Just now, it was Merus who helped Shenron open a passage, allowing Shenron from Earth to transfer his wishes to Planet Namek.
Otherwise, fulfilling a wish across a universe would be very difficult for Shenron.
"It's nothing... just consider it a small favor to them, after all, it's a way of repaying them for Kale." Merus smiled slightly and withdrew the Scepter.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the passage next to Merus also disappeared.
"Merus, you're becoming more and more like an angel." Luo Tian gave Merus a thumbs up.
Merus: "..."
I was originally an angel.
Is it appropriate for you to say that to me?
"But speaking of which, Merus, have you been cultivating diligently during this time?" Luo Tian asked curiously.
"It's alright. For me, training at the Galactic Patrol Headquarters is like a kind of cultivation," Merus replied with a smile.
"I'm already Level 59, and I feel like I've reached the peak of Level 59. I'm only one step away from level 60. What about you?" Luo Tian asked.
"You... you're almost level 60?" Merus was stunned.
How long has it been?
Why did you level up so quickly?
I remember the last time I saw you, you said you were only level 58.
Is your upgrade calculated by the number of days?
Does it automatically upgrade after a certain period of time?
"Yes, yes, I'll be level 60 soon, in no more than three days. I have a feeling that way." Luo Tian nodded seriously.
"Level 60...that's equivalent to the level a real angel possesses." Cold sweat trickled down Merus's face.
"If I level up to 60, who among these angels can I defeat?" Luo Tian asked with some anticipation.
Merus didn't want to talk anymore.
Did you level up just to fight?
"Let me rephrase myself, I wasn't quite right just now..." Luo Tian said with a smile, "After all, angels don't have violent tendencies... Are there any level 60 angels?"
"No, they're all at least Level 65 or higher." Merus avoided eye contact and gave an awkward laugh.
"That's such a pity... I still need to work harder so I can have a proper match with a real angel." Luo Tian said with some disappointment.
"This little angel is obviously not telling the truth." Linglong couldn't stand it anymore and shook her head. "Campari of the Universe 9 seems to be the weakest angel in the entire universe. If you really reach level 60, you can go and spar with him."
"Oh?" Luo Tian was overjoyed. "Campari is only level 60?"
"At least when I sensed him last time, he was only level 60. I don't know about now," Linglong replied.
"When was the last time you sensed him?" Luo Tian asked.
"About 500 years ago," Linglong murmured.
Luo Tian: "..."
"Linglong, that's not fair of you... 500 years have passed, I don't believe he hasn't even improved by one level." Luo Tian scolded him irritably.
"You don't understand, do you really think it's easy to level up after level 60?" Linglong sighed. "My highest Level 65, and it was very difficult to level up after that! So, for most angels, it would probably take tens of millions of years of training to go from level 60 to level 61!"
Luo Tian was speechless.
Tens of millions of years of trials and tribulations.
