Tree of Might

Above the North Galaxy lies a strange space, its overall color a pale red. Golden clouds float within it, and a long, winding Snake Way leads through the clouds to the Otherworld of the North Galaxy.

This is the space where the King Kai, the ruler of the North Galaxy, resides.

Within the King Kai's Realm, there is only a tiny planet, about a hundred meters in diameter. A narrow walkway encircles the planet, and green vegetation covers it, with only a few scattered large trees adding a touch of life to this God Star King Kai Planet.

Under the shade of a tree.

North Kai was sleeping peacefully in his hammock with his hands on his chest when suddenly a large brown Great Ape chased after a grasshopper-like creature. The gorilla leaped up and landed on North Kai, sending his chubby body tumbling off the hammock with a thud.

"Bubbles, don't run around while I'm sleeping."

North Kai roared in exasperation, his tentacles twitching and his black sunglasses falling to the ground.

Great Ape tilted his head and looked at North Kai, yelled a few times, and then ran off to chase after the grasshopper Gregory. North Kai Bubbles, his face full of black lines, watched Bubbles and Gregory running around in circles, took a deep breath, and prepared to climb back into his hammock to sleep.

North Kai lives alone on the small God Star, is very well-mannered. Apart from his habit of telling corny jokes, he is quite approachable. Even when the Great Ape Bubbles steps on him, he will only curse a couple of times.

Just then, the two tentacles on North Kai's head crackled with electricity, and images of the lower realm entered his mind, drawing his attention to several prematurely dying planets.

"There seems to be a problem with the planets below."

North Kai's face showed surprise, and he used his authority to check the situation in the lower realm. The tentacles on King Kai's head could connect to the rules of the universe, and nothing under his jurisdiction could escape his attention. Soon, the scene of the lower universe appeared before North Kai's eyes.

Alone, decaying, and yellowish planets drift in space, all life on them long since perished.

It didn't look like a natural death; it seemed more like it was caused by someone.

"They've entered the decay phase prematurely. Those planets should still be able to exist for tens of thousands of years. What went wrong?" The North Kai continued his investigation and soon discovered a towering, dark red tree on a half-dead planet. Its thick roots were deeply embedded in the soil, and its leaves blocked out the sunlight, plunging the entire planet into darkness due to the lack of light.

Beneath the branches and leaves of the large tree hung numerous spherical fruits covered with spiky surfaces.

Upon seeing this, the North Kai's body suddenly trembled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the Tree of Might? No wonder those planets died prematurely; they were drained of their Vital Energy! But how could a divine tree appear in the mortal realm? Which god is so irresponsible?"

The Tree of Might is a fruit tree of the gods, and can only grow in the God Realm. Once it enters the mortal world, its vigorous vitality is simply beyond the capacity of ordinary planets to withstand. The result is that the life force of mortal planets is completely drained, turning them into dead stars. Several such incidents have occurred in the North Galaxy before.

Of course, after the Tree of Might absorbs all the planet's Vital Energy, it will bear Tree of Might containing a large amount of energy. This fruit is originally the fruit of the gods. Mortals who eat it will greatly replenish their physical strength and have the effect of improving their strength in a short period of time. Therefore, every time the Tree of Might appears, it will almost always cause a bloody disaster.

"I thought there were no more seeds of the Tree of Might in the lower realm, but it seems there were still some that slipped through the net before!"

The North Kai bent over to observe the lower realm. As the administrator of the North Galaxy, he could not personally interfere in the affairs of the lower realm, but he could issue messages to the outside world and recruit powerful beings from the lower realm to work for him.

Having scanned all the planets in the lower realm, the North Kai, who hadn't paid attention to the lower realm for some time, was not very clear about the situation there. After some investigation, he discovered that the power structure in the North Galaxy had undergone another reshuffle, with a brand new force rising in the western region of the North Galaxy.

The Sephiria Force, and it was established by the Saiyan.

"That Sephiria Force seems quite powerful, and their leader is considered a top expert in the North Galaxy. However, the Saiyan's personality is truly unacceptable... Hmm, they're even cooperating with Frieza. That's a truly unsettling omen."

North Kai shook his head. The Saiyan didn't have a good reputation in the North Galaxy. Their fierce and warlike nature displeased him. He had thought that all the Saiyan had been destroyed along with Planet Vegeta, but unexpectedly, they had developed into a powerful force more than ten years later.

Ignoring Sephiria Force and shifting the focus elsewhere, North Kai contacted the Galactic Mercenary Organization and released information about the planet's premature demise. Of course, to prevent aliens from vying for the Tree of Might, North Kai did not mention the Tree of Might itself.

On Planet Orphi, a new Tree of Might was planted.

The Saiyan Turles carefully tended to the sapling of the Tree of Might, his eyes shining with a fervent light.

He was one of the survivors when Planet Vegeta was destroyed, narrowly escaping death as Frieza Force scattered to kill the exiled Saiyan. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Turles' experience proved this true. An unexpected event led him to discover a seed of the Tree of Might in a small valley.

At first, Turles was unaware of the wonders of the Tree of Might, but after tasting its Tree of Might, his strength skyrocketed, his combat power increasing from less than 1,000 to 4,000.

This thrilled Turles, Low-Class Warrior. Turles immediately concluded that the Tree of Might would be his hope for rise to power, and thus began to cultivate Tree of Might on a large scale. His ambition also soared with the increase of his power.

However, Turles was a cautious person. He developed his strength in the early stages and tried not to reveal his existence before he became strong enough. He even chose to plant the Tree of Might on remote planets where no one would notice him.

"Grow up quickly, bear abundant fruit, and absorb the life force of this planet. My combat power will then break through 300,000. Who will be my opponent then!"

Turles spread his arms and laughed maniacally.

With his growing strength, Turles no longer needed to hide so much. He had been traveling to various planets for the past few years, and he was tired of living in hiding. He was just waiting for his power to increase again so that he could openly appear in the universe and use his formidable strength to awe the entire universe.

Then he can recruit subordinates and build his own power, just like King Vegeta.

Whenever he thought of the bright future, Turles was filled with enthusiasm and energy. In a flash, Turles flew to a large tree in the distance, lay down on the thick trunk, and closed his eyes to rest.

However, he was unaware that while he eagerly awaited the growth of the Tree of Might, a survey mission about nearby planets had already appeared on the Galaxy Mercenaries' mission platform.
