Dragon Ball, Saiyans Don't Just Want to Get Stronger!

Finally, after a muffled roar, the energy sphere's form stabilized once more.

It was no longer merely a pure dark purple; a searing white light pulsed incessantly through its core and across its surface, radiating a terrifying aura that seemed capable of both erasing existence and incinerating all things.

Vitelli let out a long, ragged breath, a look of exhaustion and profound satisfaction washing over his face as he gazed at the newly fused energy in his hands.

Finally, it's done... Let's call it... "Destruction Flash"? Why does that sound so familiar...

Over the course of seventeen days and nights, through constant insight and experimentation, he had finally mastered the core of the God of Destruction's power. By leveraging his own formidable control and creative intuition, he had successfully fused it with his own unique traits.

He had created an ultimate technique that belonged solely to him, unlike any move that had come before.

Perhaps it was the subconscious influence of memories from his past life, or perhaps it was a habit ingrained by the brutal environment of Planet Vegeta, but he suffered from a deep-seated "fear of insufficient firepower." He always felt that simple destruction wasn't enough; he couldn't feel at ease unless he infused it with the extreme heat he excelled at.

"Ara~"

A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, drifted from behind him.

"You actually succeeded, Vitelli-san. To fuse two such distinct and powerful forces—this level of daring and control is truly impressive."

Whis had appeared silently behind him, wearing his customary smile, though his purple eyes flickered with a trace of genuine wonder and admiration.

Vitelli didn't turn around; he remained focused on the "Destruction Flash" slowly dissipating in his palm, and the white sun that had already claimed dominance in the distant sky.

After several minutes, once his energy had completely settled, he turned to face Whis and spoke in a calm tone:

"I've more or less mastered the God of Destruction's power now. Regarding the mission to clear out those 'trash planets' we discussed, when do you think would be the best time to depart?"

He cut straight to the point. Since he had mastered the power of a God of Destruction, he would not shirk the responsibilities that came with it.

Whis's smile turned even more playful at these words, and he teased:

"Oh my? I never expected you to become so diligent and reliable, Vitelli-san. Why, just over half a month ago, someone was complaining incessantly about the position of 'God of Destruction'~ If Lord Beerus could train and work as seriously as you, our Universe 7 ranking would have been far ahead by now, wouldn't it?"

As he spoke, he sighed with mock sorrow, as if he were truly heartbroken over his own God of Destruction's laziness.

Vitelli couldn't be bothered to engage him, so he simply turned with an expressionless face and walked down the mountain toward the residence Bulma had constructed.

Whis didn't mind, naturally stepping along behind him while continuing to chatter about recent events.

"Bulma-san hasn't been idle at all during the ten-plus days you were in seclusion. Your little girlfriend is truly a rare genius when it comes to science! Her mobile laboratory is fully operational, and the efficiency is staggering. And I heard her say that her next plan is to clear a patch of land in the God of Destruction Realm to try and cultivate some crops unique to Earth."

Vitelli's footsteps faltered, a look of astonishment on his face:

"Farming here? Given the soil of the God of Destruction Realm and the absurd environment of this planet... is that even possible?"

Whis chuckled softly and continued:

"That's not all. She also plans to design and build an unmanned spacecraft to transport livestock embryos from Earth—ones with high adaptability and good meat quality—to attempt large-scale artificial breeding in the God of Destruction Realm."

"Breeding?!"

Vitelli was truly shocked this time. Raising cows and sheep in the God of Destruction Realm?

The image was so surreal he didn't even dare to imagine it!

"Wouldn't the gravity issue alone make it impossible? Ordinary animals would be instantly..."

"Ho ho ho~" Whis covered his mouth and laughed.

"Bulma-san also said she intends to build a large-scale 'Anti-Gravity Ecological Simulation Chamber' to solve the environmental adaptation issues for both planting and breeding. Such a creative idea, isn't it?"

Vitelli was completely defeated; he shook his head helplessly.

The girlfriend he'd found was truly a genius who couldn't sit still—she actually wanted to bring high-tech agriculture and animal husbandry into the realm where gods resided...

But... at the thought that he might actually be able to eat fresh Earth vegetables and barbecue in the God of Destruction Realm in the future, he found himself... feeling a little expectant?

As they talked, they arrived in front of the modern house Bulma had conjured from a Hoi-Poi Capsule.

The house looked somewhat out of place in the surrounding environment, yet it blended in strangely, creating a peculiar, East-meets-West aesthetic.

"Bulma! I'm back!"

Vitelli pushed open the door and called out loudly.

However, the person who walked out in response was not the lively blue-haired girl he had expected.

A tall, graceful woman stood at the entrance. She had blue-green skin similar to Whis's, with long, silver-white hair tied into a neat high ponytail, and two strands of hair framing her forehead.

She wore an outfit similar in style to Whis's, which only served to accentuate her beautiful figure.

Her face was stunning yet carried an innate sense of coldness and detachment, and she held an angel's staff in her hand.

At this moment, the female angel was observing Vitelli with her calm, golden eyes, a faint, playful smile playing on her lips—a smile that made a chill run down Vitelli's spine for no apparent reason.

Vitelli froze in place, his pupils slightly constricted, his mind screaming: No way?! Why is the angel of Universe 6—Vados—here?!

"Ara~"

Whis stepped out from behind him and greeted the female angel with a smile, his tone familiar:

"You haven't returned yet, Elder Sister."

Vados nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but her gaze never left Vitelli.

She spoke in a clear, cold voice:

"I heard that Universe 7 has rarely acquired an Apprentice God of Destruction. Lord Champa cannot leave Universe 6 for the time being, but he is quite 'concerned' about this, so he specifically sent me to see how things are going."

She emphasized the word "concern," though it was clear that the fat God of Destruction was driven more by curiosity and a competitive streak.

She stepped forward, scrutinizing Vitelli with meticulous detail, missing nothing from the strands of his hair down to his feet.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through everything, making Vitelli feel like a specimen under a microscope; he felt so uncomfortable that goosebumps began to rise on his skin.

Just as Vitelli was about to speak, Vados finally withdrew that penetrating stare.

The smile on her lips deepened slightly, and her eyes revealed a look of... was it satisfaction?

"Hmm... your energy is condensed, your foundation is solid, and in such a short time, you have managed to grasp the basics of 'Destruction' and even innovate."

She commented, her tone flat yet carrying a note of approval.

"It seems you are far more reliable than a certain God of Destruction who only knows how to eat and sleep. You are quite good."

Vitelli nodded hurriedly and replied dryly, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Vados."

Then, he practically fled past her, quickly ducking into the house.

The aura and gaze of this elder sister figure put immense pressure on him.

Behind him, Whis's undisguised chuckle rang out:

"Hehehe... Sister, it seems your 'scrutinizing' gaze just now frightened our Apprentice God of Destruction~"

Upon hearing this, Vados turned her cold, clear gaze immediately toward Whis, saying with a hint of dissatisfaction:

"Whis, instead of worrying about others' reactions, you should worry about yourself. I sense that your energy has actually regressed slightly since we last met. Just how long has it been since you practiced seriously?"

The smile on Whis's face stiffened instantly; as if his tail had been stepped on, he dared not tease his stern sister any further and hurriedly made an excuse:

"Oh my... well, you see... there are many matters in the universe that require attention..."

As he spoke, he also quickly slipped into the house to find Vitelli and Bulma.

Vados sighed helplessly at her brother's somewhat hurried back.

She made up her mind to "pass by" Universe 7 more frequently in the future to properly supervise this brother of hers, who possessed excellent talent but was becoming increasingly lazy.

Such a fine angel seedling must not be truly assimilated by Beerus.

Vitelli found Bulma in the second-floor studio.

The room was piled high with various instruments and blueprints. Bulma was sitting in front of a massive computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard. The screen displayed complex 3D structural diagrams and countless data streams. She was so focused that she didn't even notice Vitelli enter.

"Did you miss me, Bulma?" Vitelli said with a smile, softening his voice.

Only then did Bulma snap back to reality. Seeing Vitelli at the door, a look of surprise and joy instantly bloomed on her face. She sprang from her chair like a happy little bird and threw herself into his arms.

"Honey! You've finally finished your training! Did you succeed?"

Vitelli laughed as he caught her steadily, reaching out to wrap his arms tightly around her soft frame. He kissed her smooth cheeks and forehead several times until Bulma let out a sweet, complaining sound, at which point he finally loosened his grip.

He carried Bulma over and sat down in the chair before the computer, letting her sit comfortably on his lap.

He looked curiously at the design of the strange-looking spaceship on the screen: "Yes, it went smoothly. What are you busy with? Is this the... unmanned transport ship Whis mentioned?"

"That's right!"

Bulma nodded excitedly, her blue eyes sparkling with wisdom and passion.

"I've basically finished the anti-gravity technology module. Now I'm mainly tackling the miniaturization of the hyperspace engine and the durability of the energy core! Once this is solved, I can establish a regular unmanned cargo route from Earth to here! Then, not only can I bring in all kinds of seeds and livestock embryos, but I can also transport all the delicious and useful things from Earth!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, gesturing animatedly:

"Then I can grow vegetables and fruits on a large scale in the Anti-Gravity Ecological Simulation Chamber and raise creatures like cows, chickens, and fish! That way, you won't have to eat those awful alien foods or leftover Earth supplies all day! You can eat the freshest Earth delicacies whenever you want! How about that? Your lady is pretty amazing, right?"

Vitelli listened to his girlfriend's enthusiastic description of her "God of Destruction Realm site renovation plan."

Looking at the confidence in her eyes and the tenderness she showed by thinking of him, his heart was filled with immense gratitude and pride.

He hugged Bulma tightly again, burying his face in her fragrant short blue hair. His voice was muffled, yet filled with sincere emotion:

"Thank you... thank you, Bulma. Thank you for doing so much for me..."

How lucky he was to have met a woman who was not only beautiful and intelligent but also willing to use her genius to warm both his stomach and his heart.

Feeling the shift in his emotions, Bulma hugged him back gently and said in a soft voice:

"Silly, you're Bulma's man for life. If I don't look out for you, who would I look out for?"

After the two held each other for a moment, Bulma gently pushed him away and pointed to the computer screen:

"Alright, you go downstairs and eat first. The robots I brought should have everything ready. I'm just missing the final parameter verification here; I'll be done soon and will come down to find you."

Vitelli pulled her, saying with a laugh:

"It can wait until after we eat. Let's go together."

"Be obedient~ it'll be quick!"

Bulma insisted, pulling him up from the chair and gently pushing him toward the door.

"Go on, go on! You must be starving after training for so long!"

Vitelli couldn't win against her, so he smiled and obediently went downstairs.

Listening to Vitelli's footsteps disappear at the top of the stairs, the gentle smile on Bulma's face instantly turned cunning and triumphant. Like a cat that had successfully stolen a dried fish, she waved her fist slightly at the air and whispered in a voice only she could hear:

"Hmph, that blockhead Vitelli who only knows how to bury his head in training—he won't be able to leave this lady now, will he?! Hehe, little Vitelli, easily handled!"

Having said that, she couldn't help but giggle, then sat back down in front of the computer, satisfied. Humming a light tune, she threw herself back into her grand undertaking of interstellar logistics.

To her, ensuring the one she loved lived a better life was the ultimate project worth dedicating herself to.

In the cosmos, distant stars twinkled incessantly, yet here, silence was the eternal theme.

However, this deathly stillness was broken today by a sudden, brilliant streak of light.

As the light dissipated, two figures were revealed—Vitelli, clad in a black combat suit, and Whis, the Angel of Universe 7.

Vitelli was not wearing his Apprentice God of Destruction uniform; he had always felt the outfit was truly hideous.

Fortunately, Whis had told him there was no strict requirement to wear it, and he could follow his own preferences. Other Gods of Destruction wore it simply for high visibility, which could save them from some unnecessary disturbances.

Naturally, Vitelli chose not to wear it whenever possible. As for disturbances... he would just deal with them as they came.

Their current location was extremely peculiar. Directly in front of them was a black hole so massive it would make an ordinary person's heart palpitate; its gravity warped the surrounding space and all light, forming an abyss that constantly rotated and devoured everything.

Yet, in an orbit incredibly close to this cosmic graveyard, a planet with a dull, grey surface stubbornly continued to revolve.

Vitelli gazed at the contradictory and spectacular sight before him, unable to help but sigh:

"This world is truly wondrous. A planet can actually exist near a black hole, which represents nothingness and annihilation, and it has even evolved life... The tenacity of life is truly beyond imagination."

Hearing this, Whis wore an elegant smile and said in a relaxed tone: "This is actually nothing, Vitelli-san. Lord Beerus and I once visited a planet orbiting a neutron star. The life forms there were truly peculiar, composed entirely of crystals and surviving by absorbing radiation. So, your cosmic experience is still far too limited; you need to gain more experience~"

Vitelli smiled and cast that fleeting sentiment to the back of his mind.

After all, given today's itinerary, now was not the time for waxing poetic.

"Alright, I'm sure I'll encounter more strange and curious things in the future. Let's get to work, Whis."

Whis nodded, his staff tapping elegantly against the void.
