Three Years

Looking at the area Askari pointed to on the map—a tiny palm-sized area that almost covered the southeastern part of the North Galaxy, belonging to a large region of the East Galaxy — Roland chuckled upon seeing Askari's serious expression, "Why do you, little one, want your own power? Wouldn't it be better to just stay on the Planet Sadala and be a princess?"

Askari shook her head stubbornly, saying, "No, I want to build my own power."

"It's dangerous outside."

"I have the Askari Legion, and I'm quite powerful myself. Anyone who stands in my way will be flattened. And if I encounter any danger, Dad can come to my rescue, right?"

Askari blinked her eyes and began to plead and beg.

Before Roland could answer Askari, Sephiria walked over and placed her fair hand on the child's head.

"Let Askari go out and explore. As the Saiyan princess, she will have the responsibility of ruling Planet Sadala in the future. Training her in advance will enhance her abilities. Don't worry about her encountering danger. Our situation was much more dangerous than hers back then. Adversity is where true masters are forged. A too comfortable environment will only hinder her."

"Exactly, exactly," Askari, despite her young age, chimed in.

Roland glared at Askari, but seeing her chuckling, he shook his head. Since even Sephiria said so, he had no choice but to agree.

With examples like Son Gohan before him, Roland has always been very strict with his children's education. His eldest son, Luo Fei, was sent out on missions at a young age, and now that his daughter Askari wants to be independent, he has no reason to object, no matter how much he loves her.

"You can go out and be independent, but you must pay attention to your safety. If you encounter danger, don't act rashly, and remember to ask headquarters for help."

"Okay." Askari beamed when she saw that Roland had agreed to let her out. She clenched her fist tightly and then skipped happily outside.

"This child... is just being silly!"

Roland smiled and said to Sephiria, "I wonder who she learned it from; she can't seem to settle down at all."

"This is because she inherited our Bloodline, which I think is great. Askari has a strong foundation, and with sufficient training, she will be more likely to become Super Saiyan in the future." Sephiria sat down quietly. Because she had just finished training, her hair was still wet, and she was wearing a bathrobe that she had just changed into. She had an indescribable charm.

Sephiria doted on her adopted daughter.

Roland didn't object to this free-range parenting model, but she felt a little reluctant to let her daughter go out at such a young age.

"Although it's said that Askari is going out to establish her own power, safety is the top priority... Hmm, Lulu has a territory in the East Galaxy, so we can ask her to look after it. Also, Ifrivi and Ufia are now members of the Askari Legion, and we can also draw some people from Sephiria Force to go there..." Roland planned, trying to improve Askari's safety.

"Sephiria Force is also expanding; don't transfer all our personnel there," Sephiria cautioned.

Roland said nonchalantly, "That's Frieza's business, who cares? Askari is the most important thing right now."

"Why don't you show that much concern for Luo Fei?"

"Can sons and daughters be treated differently? It's only right that Luo Fei suffers a bit. Askari has been wandering outside since she was little, so we should cherish her. I was originally planning to let the siblings meet, but it seems we'll have to wait until later." Raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly, daughters are a father's little darlings—that's how biased Roland was in her heart.

"..."

Sephiria couldn't help but roll her eyes at Roland's blatant double standards. Where was this preferential treatment? Luo Fei would cry if he knew...

In order not to disappoint Luo Fei, Sephiria felt it was necessary to train him more rigorously and let him know that his family cared about him.

A bustling spaceport.

Spaceships of all sizes set sail from the space dock, heading towards distant star systems. This is the spaceship manufacturing center of the Sephiria Force, and it also undertakes the modification and upgrade of various types of spaceships.

At one of the docking points of the spaceport, a massive, suspended Space Island floated in the cosmos. Not far from the Space Island, a deep red super starship stood majestically, like a fierce warrior, its entire body radiating a gleaming, chilling metallic light. After modifications by Dr. Brief and others, Askari's ship had been expanded into a colossal fortress.

Inside the Crimson Starship, one hundred Saiyan Clone were already in place, and another group of elites were drawn from the Sephiria Force to form the Askari Legion.

Accompanied by Roland and the others, Askari quickly arrived in front of the Crimson Starship. Her eyes lit up when she saw the magnificent super spaceship.

"Askari, this starship is a gift from your father. You can use it to conquer your goals," Roland said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Askari circled the crimson starship with a joyful expression, flying in an "∞" trajectory like a bee, her rosy cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Thank you, Daddy, I love it!" Askari gave Roland a quick kiss on the cheek, making him laugh heartily.

Sephiria looked at him with a hint of displeasure. "All you know how to do is thank your father?"

Askari quickly replied, "Of course, thank you too, Mom."

Sephiria clicked her tongue, gave Askari a hard tap on the head, straightened Askari's small Battle Suit, and instructed, "If you encounter danger, go find Lulu from the Devil's Den Force. Don't charge into battle recklessly. By the way, there's a place Planet Metamor in the East Galaxy. There are many amazing martial arts there. Go and have a look if you have the chance."

"Can we conquer it?" Askari looked up.

"Let's forget about Planet Metamor; it's a neutral planet," Roland reminded him. He himself had cultivated on Planet Metamor for a period of time and was unwilling to bring the war there.

"Oh."

"If anything seems amiss, evacuate immediately."

"I understand," Askari nodded.

Sephiria's face hardened, and she said in a deep voice, "Askari, your main purpose in going out this time is to improve yourself. Don't neglect your training because of conquering planets. If I find out you're slacking off, your training will end here."

"Um."

"Ifrivi, Ufia, keep a close eye on Askari and make sure she doesn't do anything too outrageous," Roland said to the two female warriors, former members of the Queen's Elite Guard and now in the Askari Legion. He had always trusted these two elites from the Sephiria Force.

"Yes, Lord Roland."

"We will take care of Princess Askari."

"Let's go."

Askari cheered, boarded the spaceship, and began tinkering. Soon, the large crimson starship activated its protective shield and gradually ascended into the vast sea of stars.

As the Askari Legion marched thousands of miles toward the East Galaxy, on May 7th on Earth, the lower realms were shrouded in continuous rain.

On the Kami's Lookout.

The Old Kami leaned on his cane and looked down at the mortal realm. In just a few years, the wrinkles on Old Kami face had deepened, and he had aged considerably, exuding an aura of decay and impending death.

With his cloudy eyes fixed on the lower realm for a long time, the Old Kami withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the three figures receiving training from Mr. Popo not far away. They were the three who were the first to pass the test of Korin Tower after the King Piccolo incident.

If Roland or Goku were here, they would recognize that the three people who received training from Mr. Popo were Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Krillin.

Three years had passed since the King Piccolo incident.

Although the King Piccolo incident three years ago caused a huge sensation on Earth, and the subsequent actions of Capsule Corporation and the Earth Kingdom further stimulated the Earth's martial arts community, making martial arts training on Earth more enthusiastic, the decline of Earth's martial arts over the years was not a sudden occurrence. While three years may have cultivated some excellent martial arts enthusiasts, it was not enough for advanced martial artists to grow.

The peak of martial arts cultivation will still need to wait several more years before it can be surpassed.

However, compared to the embarrassing situation where no one High God for hundreds of years, the fact that someone has now successfully entered the Kami's Lookout is already a good start, and the Old Kami are already very satisfied.
