Askari
While Roland was deploying the Sephiria Force, on a distant planet, Dr. Ruka and his clones were carefully monitoring their research results. In a small incubation chamber, an infant embryo had already grown into a human form.
It was a tiny Saiyan, curled up in a ball, with black hair floating in a green solution. He had delicate features and snow-white skin, like Angel fallen to earth, inspiring tenderness. The little Saiyan was immersed in the nutrient solution, observing the outside world with his transparent, clear eyes.
"Askari!" Dr. Ruka's eyes were fixed intently on the toddler inside.
Askari means "guardian" in the language of the Podo Race. She is Dr. Ruka's most outstanding artificial creation and their ultimate weapon for revenge against the Saiyan. After numerous experiments and summarizing countless experiences, Dr. Ruka discovered that although many of the previous clones were powerful, they had deficiencies in intelligence and training talent, and could not continue to grow stronger after reaching the level of a first-class warrior.
How strong is she in combat?
"It has reached a combat power of 5000," another Dr. Ruka replied.
"She's already quite strong for a toddler; she'll be our only hope as she grows up. But we can't wait that long. We need to immediately use the most efficient and energetic substances to boost her."
"We've already sent clones out to find materials."
"That's good."
Dr. Ruka created three levels of Super Warrior: Level 1 to Level 3. Level 3 soldiers have a combat power of tens of thousands, Level 2 soldiers have an energy value of over one hundred thousand, and the strongest Level 1 soldiers have a strength of one million. Generally speaking, they are already very powerful, but for Dr. Ruka, who is eager for revenge, this level of strength is not enough.
Queen Sephi of the Planet Sadala is more powerful than their first-class warriors.
They need stronger soldiers.
After much painful reflection, Dr. Ruka and his many clones racked their brains and finally discovered that only pure, naturally conceived Saiyan Bloodline could fulfill the requirement of revenge.
Ultimately, through secret searching, they found the best Bloodline within the Sephiria Force and devised a plan called "Askari." After countless failures, only one out of more than 100,000 embryos succeeded, finally creating this Saiyan child named "Askari."
After a few more days of observation, the early childhood development phase was basically over.
"Release Askari and begin training her now. Use Level 3 replicants and cosmic warriors to hone her skills." Dr. Ruka recorded Askari's data.
"It's a bit early, but Saiyan training should start from a young age, as long as they don't kill anyone."
"We have plenty of healing potions here; you won't die."
"Let's begin then."
The two Dr. Ruka smiled sinisterly, pressed the button to empty the green solution from the culture chamber, and the Saiyan toddler inside blinked and slowly crawled out of the chamber.
"Put this on." Dr. Ruka tossed him a small Battle Suit.
Askari sat on the ground, gesturing wildly and looking around with curious, bright eyes, but she wouldn't put on the Battle Suit. Dr. Ruka frowned, feeling slightly annoyed, when Askari's soft, sweet voice rang out. "My stomach... is hungry..."
Dr. Ruka paused for a moment, then waved for the clone beside him to take Askari to dinner. After all, she was their greatest hope for revenge, and they had to take care of her no matter how impatient they were.
"Don't forget to put your clothes on."
Crackling sounds...
The clatter of dishes echoed as Askari sat on a high stool, her little hands reaching for food on the table. She opened her mouth, tore off a piece, and swallowed food that was more than ten times her size.
"If you behave well, you'll have plenty of food in the future. Now go and defeat the monster in front of you."
Dr. Ruka used food as bait to lure Askari into battle. Because Askari was still young, the opponents he chose for her were not strong, with a fighting power of only about 3,000. They were failed products of Dr. Ruka's research into Super Warrior.
"Kill for... food!"
Askari roared, a fierce glint flashing in her dark eyes, and then attacked the monster. A flash of lightning, and in a few moments, the monster with a combat power of 3000 was torn in two by Askari. Askari's face was stained with blood, and she giggled with a silvery laugh.
Dr. Ruka's eyes lit up. "Excellent! So young and already so ferocious, truly a perfect warrior."
"Queen Sephi, I'm increasingly looking forward to the day you meet."
Two years have passed since the end of the 21st Martial World Martial Arts Tournament on Earth.
On the Kami's Lookout.
The Old Kami stood at the entrance of the palace, leaning on his cane. His cloudy eyes looked at Goku, Chi-Chi, and Suno, who were training with Mr. Popo not far away, and he nodded. These three pure-hearted children had High God for several years, and their growth rate was astonishing to him.
"Goku, Chi-Chi, come here."
Upon hearing the Kami's summons, Goku and the others stopped their sparring with Mr. Popo and came before the Kami. "Kami lord, what is it?"
The Old Kami, "You have all grown extremely rapidly in the past few years of training, especially Goku. Perhaps it is because of your Saiyan Bloodline. There is nothing left for you to learn in the Kami's Lookout. There is a place called Five Elements Mountain in the far west, where there is a deity called Taishang Laojun. Go there to cultivate."
"Taishang Laojun is the deity who manages the passage between the Otherworld and the human world. She is a great deity. Going to her will help improve your strength."
"Five Elements Mountain ... Ah, that's where my grandfather is." Goku felt like he had heard of Five Elements Mountain somewhere before. Suddenly, he remembered that his grandfather, Son Gohan, had died after going to Five Elements Mountain and was now the guardian of the Eight Trigrams Furnace on Five Elements Mountain.
"Goku's grandfather is indeed there. Chi-Chi and Suno, you two go with him. Lord Taishang Laojun Anning will give you good guidance."
"Yes."
Chi-Chi and Suno answered in unison.
The Old Kami nodded and handed them the Kami token. With this token, they would be able to pass through the spirit world under the Five Elements Mountain without hindrance. Taishang Laojun would also wholeheartedly guide them upon seeing the token.
"By the way, Goku, your tail is a huge hidden danger. Why don't I seal it away?" The Old Kami remembered that Goku would lose his mind when he saw the full moon. Now there was no one on Earth who could control the out-of-control Goku, so he suggested sealing his tail away.
Goku himself had no objection and turned around to have the Old Kami seal his tail.
"Alright, you can go now. Please give my regards to Lord Anning." After dealing with Goku's tail, the Old Kami watched Sun Goku and the others leave. The successors of the Kami on Earth had always been of the same lineage, but with the emergence of cosmic forces, the Old Kami had realized that one Kami was not enough. Sending Chi-Chi and Suno to the Five Elements Mountain was more about obtaining the Five Elements Mountain's approval so that the Kami's Lookout could have one more successor to the Kami.
"In a few more years, Chi-Chi and the others will probably be able to inherit the positions of the Kami."
A relieved smile appeared on the Old Kami's aged face. He had held the position of Kami for nearly three hundred years, and it was time for him to step down and hand over the reins to a more worthy successor.
Mr. Popo stood silently beside the Old Kami. As the Kami's Lookout's steward, he had witnessed the succession of Old Kami from old to new several times, and his heart was not stirred.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. The Old Kami looked up in surprise and glanced around before turning his gaze down to the mortal realm.
"Has someone collected the Dragon Ball?"
Upon closer inspection, a familiar figure caught the Kami's attention. "It's Roland. When did he come to Earth...?"
