Unfamiliar Environment
"Take it slow, the improvement of Super Saiyan isn't that fast."
"Speaking of which, by laying the groundwork for a Pseudo Super Saiyan before reaching the Super Saiyan level, we've already taken a step ahead of others. A regular Super Saiyan gains 50 times more power, while we gain 60 and 70 times more power respectively after transforming. What more could we ask for?"
"That's true." A smile appeared on Sephiria's delicate face.
"Let's go, Luo Fei and Lily have been waiting for a while, don't keep them waiting."
Sephiria: "Yes, I won't hold back when they train later."
Roland retorted, "When have you ever shown any mercy?"
Sephiria glanced in the direction of Luo Fei and the others, and said in a cold voice, "This is for their own good. In the universe, the strong are respected, and they will eventually have to become independent."
Then, the two teleported to a distant meteorite, where Luo Fei and Askari greeted them, chattering about their observations of the battle.
Roland listened patiently, offered some guidance, corrected their misunderstandings, and then the group returned together to the headquarters of the Askari Legion, Planet Liushu.
It has been a year since the Askari Legion entered the East Galaxy. After this year of development, the entire legion has taken root in the East Galaxy. Although it is not yet a powerful force with a great reputation, no one in the nearby star system dares to underestimate the Askari Legion.
Planet Liushu.
In a dense primeval forest.
On this day, Roland did not spar with Sephiria, but instead sat alone on the branch of a huge ancient tree, studying the Blue Crystal in his hand.
Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting a warm glow on people and making them feel drowsy.
Yawning, Roland leaned against the tree trunk, one foot dangling in mid-air. He picked up the crystal and examined it closely in the sunlight. The soft sunlight shone on it, and apart from the sparkling reflections at the edges, no light penetrated it.
"Does this crystal even absorb sunlight?"
I've suspected for a long time that it might be an Energy Stone that stores energy, but I've never figured out how to use it. As for something like putting it in your mouth and biting into it, only a little girl like Askari would do that; Roland would never do it.
After playing with the Deep Blue Crystal for a while, Roland suddenly thought, since it's Energy Stone, why not stimulate it with energy? Maybe we'll make some unexpected discoveries.
Without hesitation, Roland raised a finger, conjuring an energy sphere the size of a peanut at its tip. Don't underestimate this sphere; just this peanut-sized energy sphere, once released, is enough to destroy a planet.
When the energy ball was brought close to the crystal, the energy adhered to the surface of the crystal with a soft puff, but nothing unexpected happened.
Roland raised an eyebrow, withdrew the energy from his hand, and gently stroked the surface of the Deep Blue Crystal. It still felt cool to the touch. The energy, hot enough to destroy a planet, didn't even generate the slightest temperature when it came into contact with the crystal's surface.
"No reaction? Could it be that the energy isn't strong enough? No, the energy just now was enough to destroy a planet! Even an energy block should burn up when it encounters such energy. It seems that there is an even greater secret hidden in this crystal!" On second thought, Roland remembered the Planet Mesanda from which he obtained this crystal.
What was the purpose of the Alta building that planet? Was it to preserve their Bloodline?
These Alta never imagined that rebellious individuals like Bojack would emerge from their ranks, absorbing all the sleeping Alta as an energy source.
Is this thing really Energy Stone?
If not, then what could it be...?
By the way, the Alta once worshipped the Red Dragon Ball bestowed by the God of Abundance. Could the power of the Red Dragon Ball activate this energy crystal?
With a try-it-out mentality, Roland activated the power of the Red Dragon Ball in his right arm. The Shenron pattern on his arm rippled slightly, and a cluster of deep red energy surged out and gathered in his palm.
"Give it a try, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Bring the energy from your palm close to the Deep Blue Crystal.
In an instant, a high-pitched dragon roar rang in his ears, and then he saw a red energy soar up, transforming into a miniature Red Shenron, which then plunged into the crystal.
"It's responding!"
Roland observed carefully.
About two seconds later, the Deep Blue Crystal shone with a warm and pure light. Wisps of pale blue light floated on the surface of the crystal, and a faint buzzing sound could be heard. The buzzing sound grew louder and louder, and a large ball of blue energy suddenly burst out from the crystal. Where the light shone, tiny cracks appeared in the space.
"What's going on?" Roland asked in surprise.
Although the surrounding space seemed to have cracked open, strangely, Roland did not feel any danger at all, as if this energy was something he was born with.
As the eerie blue light gradually spread, a fan-shaped hole appeared.
Whoosh--
The entire Space Net shattered, as if a knife had sliced through space. A powerful whirlwind arose, and before Roland could think any further, a wave of energy swept in from the broken space. Roland cried out and fell directly into the shattered fan.
Shortly after Roland disappeared, ripples spread through the space, quickly returning to normal, and everything was perfectly calm, as if nothing had happened.
Just then, a figure slowly flew in from the horizon.
Askari, wearing a little vest, dragged a lump of meat several times her size in her hands, shaking her head and looking around. Her little eyes kept scanning, "Strange, where did Daddy's presence go? Humph, he must have gone to find Mommy. I wanted him to help me make barbecue!"
Askari couldn't find Roland, so she grinned unhappily and flew off in another direction with the piece of meat in her arms.
Above the primeval forest.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the sky, as if space itself had shattered, rippling outwards. With a whoosh, like flowing water, a young man's figure appeared in mid-air.
This young man was handsome and had a commanding presence; he was none other than Roland, who had accidentally activated the Deep Blue Crystal on Planet Liushu.
Looking down at the dense primeval forest below, Roland was puzzled. The distant, continuous mountain ranges were majestic and undulating, just like before, but he clearly remembered falling into a broken space.
"It seems like nothing's different," Roland thought.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from above. Roland looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dinosaur with a huge head sticking its head out in the sky above the forest, tearing at another carnivorous dinosaur.
Roland was startled. "The primitive beasts of Planet Liushu should have been wiped out by the Askari Legion. How come there are still dinosaurs?"
"Could this not be Planet Liushu?"
Looking around again, the mountains and peaks were just as he remembered; this was indeed Planet Liushu... A sense of unease crept into his heart, and Roland spread his aura outwards. With his abilities, his aura quickly enveloped the entire Planet Liushu, but the result disappointed him.
"They're gone. Askari, Luo Fei... their presence has vanished."
