Tien Shinhan tested his Kamehameha in the Universe 12 Academy of Sciences’ simulation battlefield and discovered that most of his energy was wasted in transmission. Quinn advised him to refine the attack into a concentrated penetrating ray, and Tien prepared to try the new approach.

• Tien Shinhan entered the simulation battlefield alone and destroyed a shielded target with a Kamehameha, but the system measured only 31% energy utilization.
• After twelve attempts at adjusting his output, Tien Shinhan raised utilization to 47% before reaching a bottleneck.
• Quinn scanned Tien Shinhan’s energy pathways and explained that energy was being lost as it passed through too many points in his body.
• Tien Shinhan said that firing the Kamehameha through his third eye had nearly shattered his skull, but Quinn argued that the problem was his reliance on compression.
• Quinn showed Tien Shinhan the thin, penetrating beam he had used to destroy Naturon Shenron and proposed purifying the energy into a concentrated ray.
• Quinn recommended that Tien Shinhan test the idea against progressively stronger defensive shields in the simulation battlefield.

Tien Shinhan refined his energy into the Divine Eye Kamehameha and pierced a simulated divine shield at the Universe 12 Orbital Academy of Sciences. After God of Destruction Jin learned the Grand Priest had ordered him to remain polite to Universe 7’s leader, Jin reconsidered confronting the visitors.

• Tien Shinhan repeatedly adjusted his third-eye beam until he purified it enough to pierce the target sphere and its simulated S-class divine shield.
• Tien Shinhan named the technique the Divine Eye Kamehameha and left the simulated battlefield, where Krillin and Chiaotzu awaited him.
• The academy’s internal network reported the shield penetration, triggering an alert that reached God of Destruction Jin.
• Jin prepared to visit the Universe 7 guests, but angel Martinu relayed the Grand Priest’s order to treat their leader politely.
• Jin sat back down, concluding that Universe 7’s leader must be a great figure who could rival Zeno.

Chiaotzu pushed past repeated mental overload in the Simulated Battlefield and used the Purple-Gold Core to control a trillion particles of stardust, awakening a Psychic Power Field with a Spatial Stasis effect. He named it the Golden Psychic Realm and left with Tien Shinhan, newly confident that he could fight head-on.

• Tien Shinhan found that Chiaotzu had entered the Simulated Battlefield and waited outside after reading his request to train alone.
• Chiaotzu repeatedly failed to control the Quantum Stardust Array, suffering mental overload and nosebleeds as he tried to expand his psychic power.
• Chiaotzu condensed his power into a Psychic Power Field, then used the Purple-Gold Core to flood it with energy and cover the simulated space.
• Chiaotzu controlled all one trillion particles and awakened a Spatial Stasis effect that slowed objects and beings with a lower mental dimension.
• Chiaotzu named the field the Golden Psychic Realm and told Tien Shinhan he could fight head-on, while Tien Shinhan wiped the blood from his face.
• Chiaotzu and Tien Shinhan left the Simulated Battlefield and heard Yamcha argue with a researcher about adding soy sauce to a fermented fungus drink, making Chiaotzu laugh.

Yamcha faced simulations of his greatest defeats and used the trials to awaken a space-rending form of the Wolf Fang Fist. He left the battlefield with a new technique and renewed confidence in his place among Earth's fighters.

• Yamcha entered the Psychological Simulation Battlefield and was repeatedly defeated by simulations of Cell, Krillin, Vegeta, Super Android 13, and Syn Shenron.
• Yamcha rejected the system's attempts to break him and drew on lessons from Master Mutaito and Master Roshi to find weaknesses while keeping his body and mind relaxed.
• Yamcha developed the Wolf God Space-Rending Fist, a close-quarters technique that opened a spatial rift and destroyed the phantoms.
• The system assessed Yamcha's new technique as lower Divine Realm, and he left the simulation battlefield to greet Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.
• Yamcha declared that three Earthlings would now be enough as Tien Shinhan smiled and Chiaotzu celebrated.

Krillin met Gin, the God of Destruction of Universe 12, who treated him with fear and respect because of the Grand Priest’s decree. Krillin requested ancient records on Saiyan divinity fusion, then prepared to focus on Vegeta’s training.

• Yamcha bragged about the breakthroughs he, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu had demonstrated at the academy.
• Gin arrived with Martinu and bowed formally to Krillin after sensing that he was beyond comprehension.
• Krillin told Gin he had brought his family for a technical exchange and asked for records on Saiyan divinity fusion.
• Martinu arranged access to the academy’s divine-tier database and estimated that compiling the records would take half a day.
• After Gin and Martinu left, Krillin decided to prepare for Vegeta’s training.

Krillin searched Universe 12’s divine records and discovered evidence of a fourth Saiyan evolution path, Ego, tied to the royal bloodline. He concluded that Vegeta alone could follow it, then Bulma called him over to see what she had found.

• Martinu delivered a crystal containing encrypted ancient Saiyan records, and Krillin connected to the divine database.
• Krillin reviewed the known Saiyan evolutionary paths and found a top-secret report about royal bloodline mutations.
• The report explained that Saiyan royalty could retain reason as Great Apes and possessed a distinct S Cell variant driven by domination.

• Krillin concluded that Vegeta was the only Saiyan who could pursue the path of absolute self-command.
• Bulma called to Krillin from the corridor and urged him to come see what she had found.

• Bulma, Vomi, and Ailins presented the research and energy models they had acquired, and Bulma asked to return to the lab immediately.
• Krillin led the group through a rift back to Universe 7 after Valg and Gin thanked them for the exchange.
• Bulma and Vomi hurried to West City to begin their work, while Ailins departed and Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha prepared to go home.
• Krillin sensed Vegeta’s agitated ki and reflected on how Vegeta’s royal pride shaped his potential.
• Krillin told the others to rest and flew down from Kami’s Lookout to check on Vegeta.

Vegeta pushed himself through three days of training but could not break past Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level. Krillin told him he needed a path of his own and took him to another universe to face a powerful monster.

• Vegeta damaged Capsule Corporation's Gravity Room while training and brooded over how Goku, Gohan, and Broly had surpassed him.
• Krillin visited Vegeta and explained that he had enough power but lacked a personal driving force.

• Vegeta shut down the Gravity Room and agreed to go with Krillin.
• Krillin transported Vegeta to another universe, where they arrived in a dark purple void near a giant red-glowing planet.

Krillin brought Vegeta to an abandoned planet in Universe 11 to face Jiren in a fight that could push him past his limits. Jiren judged Vegeta too weak, leaving the Saiyan Prince eager to prove himself.

• Vegeta arrived with Krillin on a ruined, high-gravity planet in Universe 11 and asked what it was.
• Krillin explained that the planet had once supported a civilization before someone destroyed it.
• Jiren approached, and his overwhelming presence made Vegeta's Super Saiyan 4 aura contract as the planet trembled.
• Krillin told Jiren that Vegeta needed a life-or-death fight to break through his bottleneck.
• Vegeta's aura erupted, but Jiren looked him over and said he was too weak.

Jiren effortlessly stopped Vegeta’s strongest attack, defeated him with a finger, and nearly killed him before Krillin intervened. As Vegeta lay helpless, Krillin gave him more time to discover what he truly wanted, and Vegeta began searching his memories for why he kept falling behind.

• Vegeta unleashed his full Super Saiyan 4 Mid-Level power, but Jiren stopped his punch with one finger and dismissed his strength.
• Vegeta attacked Jiren with punches, kicks, and Energy Balls, but Jiren casually deflected every attack and tapped Vegeta in the chest, sending him crashing into a mountain.
• Jiren called Vegeta boring, then prepared a destructive energy sphere while Vegeta lay near death in the crater.
• Krillin asked Jiren to give Vegeta more time to figure out what he wanted, and Jiren lowered his hand and let the sphere dissipate.
• Vegeta reflected on his ambition to become the strongest and remembered how Frieza, Gohan, Broly, Bardock, and Jiren had surpassed or crushed him.
• Vegeta wondered why others could break through their limits while he remained stuck, and resolved that he had to find the answer.

After Jiren defeated him, Vegeta realized that his own path was to master the Saiyans’ Great Ape power while retaining the royal ability to stay rational. He awakened to this kingly path at the bottom of the crater as Krillin watched from above.

• Vegeta recalled Kakarot, Gohan, and Broly’s distinct forms and recognized that he had been following other people’s paths.
• Vegeta forced himself to stand despite his injuries and told Jiren that he had been wrong about what it meant to grow stronger.
• Vegeta identified the Great Ape as the primal source of Saiyan power and royal rationality as his means of controlling it.
• Vegeta declared that his path was to command the Great Ape’s savage power without losing himself, then laughed as he embraced the realization.
• Krillin watched with satisfaction as Vegeta’s dark chestnut aura reignited at a new frequency.

Vegeta tried to awaken the Great Ape power in his bloodline but lacked the Blutz Waves needed to transform. Krillin’s shining bald head triggered the transformation, leaving Vegeta as a rational Golden Great Ape facing Jiren.

• Vegeta drew on the Great Ape power in his Saiyan bloodline, but the lack of Blutz Waves caused the energy to build dangerously inside him.

• Vegeta and Jiren powered up and charged into a collision that sent shock waves across the ruined planet.

Vegeta used Krillin’s bald head to trigger his Great Ape transformation and fought Jiren, then compressed the Great Ape’s power into a new form called Ultra Ego. After Vegeta injured Jiren in a fierce clash, both fighters prepared to continue as the planet collapsed around them.

• Krillin realized Vegeta had used his bald head as the moon, while Jiren watched Vegeta transform into a Golden Great Ape.
• Vegeta and Jiren traded powerful blows, and Jiren warned that Vegeta’s body was nearing its limit.
• Vegeta forced the Great Ape’s power back into an ordinary-sized body, awakening Ultra Ego and reaching a battle power assessment of 10-dimensional.
• Jiren released his full strength, and Vegeta attacked him with a rapid barrage before their concentrated energies collided and devastated the planet’s surface.
• Vegeta and Jiren recovered from the explosion, acknowledged each other’s fighting spirit, and prepared for another clash as Krillin watched the planet collapse.

Vegeta fought Jiren across a collapsing planet and into space, mastering the Great Ape Power as he battled. He defeated Jiren with a new Dark Golden Final Flash, then stood barely conscious as the two warriors acknowledged each other.

The chapter left the family gathering poised for a fight that Chi-Chi forbade until dinner was finished, while Krillin considered Vegeta’s new path the first stage of training complete.

• Krillin stabilized the collapsing space, healed Vegeta and Jiren, and watched Jiren return to Universe 11.
• Vegeta thanked Krillin, asked him to keep his debt secret from Goku, and embraced his new royal path of power.
• Krillin teleported Vegeta to the Capsule Corporation backyard, where Goku, Gohan, Broly, Bardock, Gine, and Raditz sensed Vegeta’s transformed ki.
• Vegeta called himself Super Vegeta and challenged Goku, but Chi-Chi ordered them not to fight before dinner was finished.
• Krillin reflected that Vegeta’s Ultra Ego path had begun and the first stage of Super Space-Time Training was complete, then looked toward Kami’s Lookout.

Mr. Popo guided Fat Buu through a mental space where Buu confronted the different versions and powers within himself. By accepting and combining them, Fat Buu formed a pure Majin Core, and the chapter ended with him asking whether he was a good Buu.

• Mr. Popo showed Fat Buu the shadowy forms representing his past selves and explained that his choices, not his power, would determine whether he became bad again.
• Fat Buu remembered the kindness of Satan, Krillin, Goku, and Gohan, awakening a warm light inside himself.

• The shadows faded as Fat Buu formed a harmonious Majin Core and produced pure pink Demonic Energy.
• Fat Buu told Mr. Popo that his inner powers were together now, then asked whether he was a good Buu.

Krillin and Mr. Popo confirmed that Fat Buu’s stabilized Majin core could accept the second Third Eye of the Demon Realm, and Piccolo prepared a Dragon God Barrier for the fusion. Krillin placed the crystal into Buu, and purple-gold light erupted from his brow as the process began.

• Krillin promised Fat Buu double portions of treats, and Buu agreed to undergo the fusion.
• Krillin placed the Third Eye of the Demon Realm into Buu’s brow, triggering an eruption of purple-gold light.

The Third Eye of the Demon Realm merged with Fat Buu’s newborn Majin core, flooding him with ancient laws that his unstable core struggled to absorb. Mr. Popo helped Buu find his resolve, but Buu’s body suddenly shifted into a form resembling Buuhan, leaving Piccolo on alert.

• The Third Eye of the Demon Realm merged with Buu’s Majin core and unleashed a torrent of ancient Demon Realm laws inside him.
• Buu’s body twisted between different forms as his core strained against the laws, while Krillin’s Martial God Force Field protected him and Piccolo reinforced the Dragon God Barrier.
• Mr. Popo approached Buu and urged him to find his true self, helping him replace fear and confusion with Fat Buu’s stubborn resolve.
• Krillin explained that Buu’s core was absorbing the laws faster than it could digest them.
• Buu abruptly rose in a tall, lean form resembling the one he had after absorbing Gohan, and Piccolo went on alert.

Buu fused the Grand Kai’s Divine Mark with the Demon Realm Laws, stabilizing his upgraded Majin Core and reaching a twelve-dimensional form beyond an ordinary God of Destruction. After feeding him, Krillin prepared to take Buu and Mr. Popo to Universe 4 to confront its God of Destruction, Quitela.

• Buu let the Divine Mark and Demon Realm Laws clash and gradually fuse into purple-and-gold patterns across his body.
• Buu’s transformations stopped, his Majin Core absorbed the laws, and his form stabilized as the system assessed him at twelve dimensions.
• Krillin confirmed that Buu had surpassed ordinary God of Destruction level, and Buu celebrated his increased strength by devouring a mountain of food.
• Krillin told Piccolo and Mr. Popo that they were going to Universe 4 to replace Quitela as its God of Destruction.
• Mr. Popo joined Krillin and Buu, who eagerly agreed to go after asking whether Universe 4 had cake.

Krillin, Buu, and Mr. Popo traveled to Universe 4 and entered Quitela’s Sanctuary. Quitela recognized Krillin’s pass to Zeno’s Palace and demanded to know why someone from Universe 7 had come.

• Krillin opened a Time-Space Tunnel and brought Buu and Mr. Popo to Universe 4.
• Krillin subdued a guard with his aura, and the guard pointed them toward the Main Hall.
• Mr. Popo spotted traps and escape devices in the corridor and explained that Quitela feared dying.
• Krillin, Buu, and Mr. Popo entered the Main Hall and confronted Quitela and Cognac.
• Quitela recognized Krillin’s Zeno’s Palace pass and mocked him, asking whether Beerus had sent him to beg for help.

Krillin confronted Quitela in the God of Destruction Realm and told him Zeno had approved his replacement. After Quitela's destruction energy failed against Krillin, Quitela was left terrified as Krillin declared his time as God of Destruction was over.

• Cognac warned Quitela to proceed cautiously while Krillin, Mr. Popo, and Buu remained unfazed by his mockery.
• Krillin told Quitela that Zeno had formally approved his replacement, and Buu explained that Quitela had been fired.

• Krillin's force field stopped the attack and sent it back, destroying Quitela's throne as Quitela barely dodged.
• Cognac advised Quitela to let Krillin finish, and Krillin declared that Quitela's time as God of Destruction was over.

Krillin condemned Quitela for manipulating conflicts between universes, then ordered Buu to kill him. Buu chased Quitela across Universe 4, turned him into chocolate and ate him, while Quitela’s God of Destruction aura erupted inside Buu.

• Cognac refused Quitela’s demand for protection, citing the Grand Priest’s order that angels must not interfere.

• Quitela begged for his life, but Buu transformed him into chocolate and ate him.
• Quitela’s God of Destruction aura erupted inside Buu as Krillin watched from Universe 4’s God Realm.

Buu struggled to survive as Quitela’s destruction power clashed inside him with his Majin nature, the Grand Kai’s sacred power, and the Demon Realm laws. Guided by Mr. Popo’s baking lesson, Buu began trying to combine the forces himself, but the mixture remained unstable.

• Buu’s body twisted and convulsed as the four forces fought inside him, and Cognac offered to intervene.
• Krillin refused Cognac’s help, explaining that Buu had to make the forces coexist on his own.
• Mr. Popo reminded Buu of the baking lessons at Kami’s Lookout and described the four forces as ingredients Buu had to mix.
• Buu entered his mental kitchen, gathered destruction energy, sacred power, and Demon Realm runes into a mixing bowl, then began stirring them despite their violent resistance.

Buu completed his transformation after his Majin essence fused with the divine, Demon Realm, and converted destruction powers, reaching a stable 999-dimensional perfect form. He celebrated by asking for more cake, while Krillin considered how Buu’s ability to absorb and assimilate energy might make him uniquely capable of consuming everything.

• Buu slowly mixed the four powers until they merged into a stable purple-gold sphere and transformed his body.
• Buu opened his eyes with his powers harmonized, and the system assessed him as a 999-dimensional Majin in perfect form.
• Cognac’s Angel Staff sounded an alarm, while Krillin’s Martial Dao True God core resonated with Buu’s new power.
• Buu asked Krillin whether he was strong enough to eat more cake, and Mr. Popo said his stomach had grown with his strength.
• Buu excitedly jumped and sent ripples through space, so Krillin stopped him before he could disturb the universe’s stars.
• Krillin reflected that Buu’s capacity to accommodate and convert energy might let him truly eat everything.
