The Shazos who suddenly grew stronger
Earth, Greece, Sanctuary.
Shazo shuddered and woke up from his dream.
He patted the stone bed beneath him, looked at the clean stone house beside him, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
There isn't even a stone table or stool in this dilapidated house.
He was the man who defeated Shaka's disciple Shiva in front of the Gold Saint, and stole the Peacock Silver Cloth—a second-tier Saint adorned with gold and silver.
As a result, I ended up with such living conditions. It's really, really frustrating.
There was nothing they could do. The Pope was an old stoic who had ruled the Sanctuary for 190 years. His authority was so great that no one dared to offer any suggestions. He believed that a harsh life would help the Saints improve their fighting power, and even the Gold Saints didn't have soft beds to sleep on.
Inside the magnificent Twelve Palaces, apart from the Gold Saints ' undergarments and the capes on their backs, there wasn't even a single piece of cloth.
There was nothing left except the stone and the Gold Cloth.
No wonder Aries Mu loves to stay in the Pamir Plateau, Virgo Shaka spends half the year in India, and Aquarius Kamia lives in the Arctic.
Although the environment in those places is notoriously bad, the Sanctuary is even worse.
Shazo sighed again: [Saga, when exactly are you going to go crazy and send this 200-year-old Deng away?]
Why would he think that?
Because under the Pope's rule, no trouble could arise in the Sanctuary, the conflicts between the Gold Saints were suppressed, and their energy was focused on the lower realms.
Shazo then came into Shaka's sights after defeating Shiva.
Although Buddhists may chant about "emptiness of the four elements" and "letting go leads to Buddhahood," it's all just talk to others, a way to trick people into honestly suffering.
If these bald monks really thought that way, why would they build such a large temple, occupy such a vast area of land, and support such a large group of burly martial monks?
As the leader of the Buddhist sect among the Saints, Shaka is naturally a bit petty without realizing it.
Shazo stole the Cloth that Shaka's disciple had his eye on. Shaka couldn't bring himself to kill Shazo, so he stared at Shazo and muttered "asceticism," "letting go," and "abstaining from greed, anger, and ignorance!"
As Silver Saints, Shazo was entitled to let the words go in one ear and out the other, but the Sanctuary's administrators dared not.
Therefore, given the poor living conditions of the Saints, Shazo became the lowest point in terms of treatment across the entire Sanctuary.
It's incredibly painful.
If the old Pope were to pass away, the Gold Saints would surely notice. Without this powerful Buddha Form to suppress them, they would desperately scheme against each other.
Not only will Virgo Shaka have no time to keep an eye on Shazo, but the discipline of the entire Sanctuary will also be relaxed.
Shazo remembered that when the official storyline began, many of the Gold Saints, Silver Saints, and Bronze Saints of the Sanctuary had left the Sanctuary and settled in various parts of the world, even in the Hell.
What they did, Grandpa Shazo naturally did as well.
Then I'll go to United States, and following Marvel Shazo, I'll just find any conglomerate and have them support my enjoyment. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Shazo was overjoyed at the thought of his wonderful future life and laughed out loud.
Only when a powerful force of the Five Elements erupted from within him did he cease his fantasies of a decadent life, and focus his mind on controlling and digesting this force of the Five Elements emanating from the pine nuts of the Five-Needle Pine Seeds.
The Five Elements, with their mutual generation and restraint, form a perfect and independent power system, possessing both great compatibility and strong exclusivity.
As an innate Spiritual Root, the Five-Needle Pine is of an incredibly high grade. Even a mere Pine Cone, a consumable exchange item, was deemed by the Main God to be worth millions of Reward Points and an S-Rank Plot.
This force of the Five Elements elements is so strong that it exhibits a strong exclusivity.
If it were any other Shazo, he would probably have to make choices, deliberately using his inherently strong fire element to suppress the circulation of the Five Elements ' power, thereby absorbing and digesting it.
But Saint Seiya Shazo was different; he chose the Peacock Constellation Cloth.
Regardless of how the Peacock Constellation Saints of the past thousands of generations understood the Peacock Constellation, Shazo paid no heed.
In his mind, there was only one embodiment of the Peacock's power, and that was none other than Kong Xuan, "Born at the beginning of chaos, the ancestral bird of birds, the Phoenix, whose Five-Colored Divine Light could not be blocked, the Peacock with its slender crest and wide eyes."
With Kong Xuan as the ultimate reference for his own power system, Shazo would only feel that he had too little of the power of the Five Elements, and he was not worried at all that his frost and cutting power would be destroyed by the power of the Five Elements.
After all, it wouldn't hurt to destroy it.
Shazo used all his strength to suppress the boiling fire element, restoring the balance of the Five Elements and thus resuming the smooth cycle of mutual generation and restraint.
Using the burst of energy restored by the Five Elements Cycle, Shazo forcibly erased the Cosmo imprint from the Peacock Constellation Cloth replaced it with his own understanding of the Peacock Power.
As a massive influx of the Five Elements ' power poured in, the Peacock Constellation Cloth began to slowly change its shape, becoming richer in detail and its wings becoming wider.
Beyond the minor detail improvements, the most noticeable addition is five long tail feathers; if you ignore the blue, yellow, and red...
If you look at the five colors—black, white, and black—you'll find that the shape of these five tail feathers resembles that of Phoenix's tail.
However, the shape of the Peacock Constellation Cloth is not stable.
Even after Shazo had fully absorbed the Five Elements power of the Five-Needle Pine Seeds, the Peacock Constellation Cloth was still trembling, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Without any hesitation, Shazo slashed his wrists, cutting the arteries with both hands, and used Sword Qi to pry open the wounds to prevent them from healing instantly.
Shazo's blood gushed out, soaking the trembling Peacock Constellation Cloth, the splattered blood shimmering with a faint five-colored light.
With the support of Shazo's blood, the trembling of the Peacock Constellation Cloth stopped instantly.
Because the Cosmo past Saints were removed, the Cloth suffered considerable damage. Now, with the infusion of Shazo's blood, the cracks in the damage were filled by blood combined with the power of the Five Elements, making them even stronger.
Once all the damage was repaired, the aura of the Peacock Constellation Cloth suddenly surged, instantly surpassing the level of the Silver Cloth, only slightly inferior to the Gold Cloth.
This is already quite remarkable. You have to understand that the Gold Cloth are superior to the Silver Cloth from the very beginning, and the Gold Saints of all generations are stronger than the Silver Saints, so their legacy is naturally much greater.
The fact that Shazo's strength is slightly below that of the Gold Cloth proves that he has surpassed the average level of the Gold Saints.
The Peacock Constellation Cloth has undergone a complete transformation, and its Cloth spirituality has become stronger, instinctively wanting to be close to its master.
Then the Peacock Constellation Cloth spontaneously disintegrated its Peacock form, and its 21 parts transformed into 21 streams of light, which re-converged on Shazo, completely enveloping him.
The transformed Peacock Constellation Cloth covers an area no less than that of the Gold Cloth. Not only does it have a half-exquisite mask covering its mouth and nose, but it also has a fan-shaped Peacock tail on its back.
The Peacock's tail feathers shimmered with brilliant light, surrounding five five-colored tail feathers that moved even without wind, displaying astonishing majesty and splendor.
Shazo was very satisfied with the new look of his Cloth.
To be honest, Shazo didn't like the Peacock Constellation Cloth before the change at all. He disliked its shabby appearance with only a few modules and hated its green color scheme, which was unappealing no matter how you looked at it.
After donning the Cloth, Shazo received a powerful feedback from Cloth, stimulating his already extremely powerful Five Elements power. Suddenly, he felt his whole body swell up.
Indescribable information flooded his mind in an instant, allowing him to "see" a completely new world.
His Cosmo was also powerfully stimulated, and it expanded instantly. More details within it were clearly perceived, and his control over his Cosmo naturally became stronger.
Instinct told Shazo that this was the Seventh Sense.
Shazo felt more at peace than ever before; he no longer needed to fear Shaka.
Dragon Ball World, Earth, a small town on the outskirts of West City.
After the Saiyan Shazo woke up, he felt a surge of energy. He couldn't wait to go to the Forest on the edge of the Farm and enter the basement of the training ground.
His spaceship is located here, and the spherical spaceship is equipped with a specially designed combat capability detector with a detection limit of up to 150,000.
Standing in front of the Airship's hatch, Shazo unleashed his full power, and the readings on the Scouter jumped rapidly: 10.
10,000, 1...20,000 - 130,000.
After reaching 130,000, the growth rate slowed down, but it continued to grow steadily.
After 35 minutes, the combat power value exceeded 140,000, and Shazo stopped unleashing his aura.
It wasn't that his combat power had reached its limit, but rather that his Qi was increasing too rapidly, causing a problem with the balance of power within his body, and he dared not continue.
--
And it really can't continue.
Before Shazo left, he learned that the detection limit of the medium-sized Scouter was not 150,000, but 600,000.
Therefore, setting a cap of 150,000 must have a special purpose.
Shazo suspected that the combat power of 150,000 was a warning value, a value that the creators of the Scouter believed could threaten them.
If a value exceeding the warning threshold is detected, the combat capability detector may ignore its own order to shut down communications and send a signal directly into Universe.
It's important to know that this detector and Airship were brought from Planet Vegeta, and the personnel controlling Planet Vegeta's industry and technology came from Frieza Force, which didn't even have a single Saiyan among them.
Therefore, if a signal were to be sent, the target of the communication would inevitably be Frieza Force.
Now is not the time to meet Frieza.
Shazo gathered his energy, stepped out of the heavily guarded basement, and once again sensed the two energies Fang Zheng.
That was the site of the World Martial Arts Tournament, and the two sides fighting were both acquaintances of Shazo: Son Goku and the young King Piccolo.
Of course, this King Piccolo is not worthy of the name; his aura is very pure, without the slightest trace of blood and evil.
Shazo could even sense a touch of innocence in that aura.
The battle between the two aliens was interesting, but they were so weak that Shazo didn't even bother to go and see them.
"These potential threats, who could be killed with a single breath, should be dealt with formally only after their fighting power is fully unleashed."
"My task now is to readjust my ki, control my power, and then—go to the Kami's Lookout once more."
The world of Claymore, in the desolate wilderness.
The 11th-ranked Claymore Shazo had just woken up when he felt waves of cramping pain in his stomach.
"This, this is... diarrhea?"
"Holy crap, I haven't felt this way for five whole years since I became Half-Yoma! Ugh~~ This is killing me!"
A few minutes later, Shazo emerged from the bushes looking refreshed. She casually lifted her clothes, revealing that the last trace of scar on her stomach had disappeared, and her smooth abdomen looked exceptionally alluring.
--
"It looks so good, just like me."
Shazo Zuo waved his hand, creating a full-body ice mirror in front of him, looking at his unchanged blond hair and silver eyes.
She asked herself in confusion, "Now, am I still considered Half-Yoma?"
When Shazo was resolving the problem, he felt that all the Yoma flesh and blood in his body had been expelled, leaving not a single cell behind.
In every sense, she couldn't be considered Half-Yoma because she had no Yoma cells, yet she somehow retained the power and physique of Half-Yoma.
Even the power he shared with more than a dozen Shazo was presented as the Yoma power he was familiar with.
If her soul power hadn't also increased in tandem, allowing her to control the release of her own power, the entire continent would probably have sensed her peculiar demonic aura.
Shazo chuckled, "That doesn't seem so bad. The organization, Riful, and Rafaela will probably all mistakenly believe that a new Abyssal One has been born, and then they'll be nervously asking around for information."
"That should be interesting."
Shazo Zuo put his clothes back on, donned his armor, Claymore over his shoulder, and left the stinking grove.
Before leaving, she casually tossed out a purple flame, which instantly ignited the entire Forest.
"How can a beautiful woman be smelly?"
"Oh dear, what should we do next?"
"Let me think, what in this world can be used to pass the time?"
Shazo fell silent, her steel boots making a clanging sound as they stepped on the ground.
Half an hour later, she suddenly stopped and lamented, "I just solved the problem of survival, and now I'm finding this world to be truly awful."
"Barren and boring, hopeless and barbaric, it doesn't even reach the level of a dry bacon lunch, how can it be so uninteresting?"
"Destroy!"
"Wait, I've got it! There's still beauty in this world."
A smile appeared on Claymore Shazo's face, "The only thing that can comfort my Mind Stone is, of course, the exquisite and beautiful Silver-Eyed Witch."
"Hehe, the resolute and decisive Miria of the Phantom, the elegant and serene Galatea the God-Eye, the sweet and lovely Flora the Windcutter, so many beauties to be close to."
"Oh, right, and the most beautiful Goddess, the Teresa of the Faint Smile, I won't let you die."
Shazo seemed to have found the motivation to live, and her whole being became more energetic. She started walking again, striding towards the distance.
Amidst the crisp sound of footsteps, Shazo's deep voice rang out. "It seems that race doesn't need to be strictly controlled. Riful was once Half-Yoma, Silver-Eyed Witch, and her human form was also very beautiful—"
