Chapter 1340
Dragon Ball was a Mission Space with quite a few power-level bugs. New enemies and power levels kept appearing in exponentially inflated numbers, yet in terms of combat, it was still mostly the most primitive clash of brute force.
Even across the universe, Earth's mastery of ki and its techniques for using power could already be considered quite advanced.
What truly involved rules mostly appeared in auxiliary forms, such as the various kinds of Shenron. Even Whis's time manipulation was likewise used as an auxiliary ability.
Only Zeno's power could be expressed through rules.
If Dragon Ball's power levels were separated into rule-based abilities and pure brute force for comparison, then they could at least barely be understood.
When King Vegeta was surpassed by the young Vegeta, his power level was roughly just over ten thousand, not quite twelve thousand. With a wave of his hand, he could destroy three planets. His brute force was already explosively powerful.
Back in the early days of Dragon Ball, when a few hundred power level was the limit, he truly was unbelievably strong.
Yet in terms of the ratio between the Sun and Earth alone, the Sun was equivalent to 1.3 million Earths. Measured against celestial bodies in the universe, power levels in the billions were all still bouncing around within the Sun's template.
That was a comprehensible kind of power, and it was already strong enough.
King Piccolo could destroy a region of Earth's surface with one strike, so his official power level of 260 was not unreasonable. Since he was weaker in his old age, 250 would work as well.
But a contest of pure brute force only suited the world of Dragon Ball. Not to mention Xu Yue, even quite a few Reincarnators had mastered some unique techniques.
