Ancient Ruins
Tights was speechless at her father's behavior; Dr. Brief was a genius, but sometimes he was unreliable.
Roland watched with great interest Tights and her father bickered. This family was quite interesting; the parents were disrespectful to their elders, while their daughter was fearless and lawless. He remembered that in the original story, when Goku first went to West City to find Bulma, Mrs. Brief wanted to travel with Bulma and the others to find a handsome young man. Dr. Brief went even further, hoping that Bulma could bring back a beautiful woman next time she returned.
With parents like that, Tights's life is quite difficult!
"Doctor, if you want Tights get pregnant, you should at least wait until I'm an adult!" Roland chimed in, not wanting to miss out on the drama.
Dr. Brief nodded solemnly. "Oh, then we'll have to wait a few more years."
Early marriage and pregnancy are common in the Dragon Ball world, and people like Tights, who are 26 years old and still not married or have children, are actually very rare.
"You two, you've gone too far." Tights a trembling finger, her cheeks flushed slightly, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
"Haha, Tights, you're not getting any younger, I'm just concerned about you," Dr. Brief laughed.
"You don't need to care like that." Tights glared at him irritably, then looked at the machine that Dr. Brief was studying.
It was a streamlined object resembling a water droplet, smooth and translucent like crystal. It wasn't very large, only a little over two meters long including its pointed tip. At the front of the droplet was a raised gemstone, a rose-red color, resembling a ruby. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be an energy array composed of 10,081 tiny crystal chips. Each chip was an energy unit, shimmering brilliantly under the light.
Dr. Brief explained, "This is the Super-Energy Annihilation Weapon I'm researching. After charging, it can release a ray attack with an energy value of 1 degree."
"One degree, that's 10,000 combat power?!"
Tights was quite surprised. Having lived with Roland for so long, she knew the difference between different combat strengths. She knew that 300 combat strength was enough to unleash a nuclear-level attack, so what kind of power would 10,000 combat strength have? One strike could probably pierce through a planet's tectonic plates!
"Don't touch it. This thing is still in the experimental stage. You know nothing about scientific research, so it's best to avoid it," Dr. Brief warned.
Tights's hand trembled, and she quickly withdrew it. It was best to keep her distance from such dangerous things.
Roland, however, was very interested. After carefully examining the teardrop-shaped crystal, he asked, "When will this thing be officially deployed?"
Dr. Brief estimated, "About a month."
Roland nodded. Dr. Brief was always very cautious about research, and he said that a month was a conservative estimate; the actual research time would definitely be within that period. Roland had high expectations for this. As long as the Super-Energy Annihilation Weapon was successfully developed, the deterrent capability of the Planet Sadala against the surrounding area would be significantly enhanced.
While the effects of Super-Energy Annihilation Weapon are limited for highly skilled individuals, an attack with 10,000 energy points is enough to influence a civilization-level war for ordinary races.
Next, Roland met with Umu and others who were researching Super-Energy Weapon with Dr. Brief. After encouraging them, he improved their treatment and allowed some outstanding Lis Race to have their own freedom... This was an immense honor for a slave race, Umu was immediately moved to tears.
"By the way, there's news from the Saibaman Planet: they've discovered traces of a civilization similar to that of a race in a high-altitude region. Because you issued a warning, we didn't delve deeper into it."
Dr. Brief produced several photos taken on the Saibaman Planet.
The photo was taken on a sparsely vegetated plateau and was discovered by Saiyan warriors who, while hunting, accidentally destroyed a mountain range during their pursuit of fleeing Saibaman.
Roland took the photo and saw that it was an altar that resembled a sacrificial altar used in ancient times. Because it was obscured by rocks on both sides, the whole thing could not be seen clearly, but from just the corner shown in the photo, Roland concluded that this ancient altar must be related to the ancient Alta, because the reliefs on it were exactly the same as those he had seen in the temple before.
"Luckily you didn't study that thing, otherwise who knows what disaster might have occurred!"
"Is that altar dangerous?"
Roland said, "This is the ruins of the ancient Alta. The Alta were an ancient warrior race, and their strength should be much greater than that of the current Saiyan. Last time, I encountered something extremely dangerous in one of their temples..."
Then, he recounted the story of the Demon Pui. After listening, Dr. Brief lit a cigarette and marveled at the advanced level of ancient technology.
"... A biological warfare machine, it's a pity that such a wonderful thing has been lost." Dr. Brief with great regret.
"It's better to have less of this kind of thing." Tights felt a chill run down her spine. This fearless girl was actually not immune to things like demons.
What about that altar?
"Don't touch anything there for now. I'll figure out how to deal with it later," Roland said after a moment's thought.
Dr. Brief nodded. Compared to the ruins on the Saibaman Planet, he was more interested in mechanical research and soon engaged in a heated discussion with Umu and the others.
"By the way, Tights, come back to Earth when you have time. Your family misses you a lot, and Bulma is already in middle school. Every time she comes home, she can't find you and they think you've eloped with someone. They're quite unhappy about it now." Dr. Brief called out to Tights.
"Oh, I understand."
Tights tugged at her hair, pinched a small lock, and twirled it between her fingers. "That Bulma is a real pain to deal with."
"Do you want me to send you back to Earth?" Roland asked understandingly. Tights and shook her head. "After a while, I'll revise the novel again, and then I'll publish it directly after I get back to Earth."
Roland nodded and then took Tights back to his home. Once back, Tights immediately took out her computer and started typing away. Seeing this, Roland went to his cultivation room to meditate by himself.
My mind began to clear, and I recalled the scenes I had seen when the God-Making Planet was destroyed.
During the cultivation of consciousness, the image of the ancient deity reappeared. The deity, named "God of Abundance," raised his hand, making a casual gesture, and a dazzling light flashed by.
The world instantly lost its color.
Bite!
That dazzling attack, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, lingered in Luo Lan's mind. It was clearly just a simple movement, yet it seemed to gather the essence of countless martial arts techniques, leaving Roland completely captivated...
