Cooler's Demise, Zangya Departs

Huh? Regret!!? Isn't it that he was hit by some strange skill of Cooler's?

Karochi looked at Tights in confusion. "How did you even jump to the conclusion of regret? Shouldn't a normal person think he was hit by an attack?"

"What kind of look is that!? You actually don't believe your big sister?" Tights knew at a glance that Karochi didn't believe her. Doubting a woman's sixth sense was simply unforgivable.

Wait, she wasn't even a woman yet, she was a girl!? That was the same thing; as long as they were female, their sixth senses were all incredibly accurate.

Karochi waved his hands repeatedly, laughing to himself that he absolutely could not admit it: "I absolutely believe in Tights's judgment! But, I mean, is there a possibility—I'm just saying, a possibility—that she was hit by an attack without realizing it?"

Would a Galactic Warrior feel regret? Are you kidding me, brother!? Could it be that she was regretting the slaughter she had caused before? Hilarious.

Besides, look at Zangya's state—collapsing in pain with blood and tears streaming down her face; this was clearly a mental-type skill attack! He just hadn't expected Cooler to have such an ability; it was never used in the original story.

It was fortunate that he was going to die here today, otherwise, if they ran into him someday, he might be the one to trip up.

"Hmph~! I'm not talking to you anymore, you're just hopeless." Tights was speechless and chose to 'mute' herself, ignoring Karochi entirely.

Karochi shrugged. He had made it to university in his past life, too!! There was a saying in his past life that was truly correct: don't try to reason with a woman, because a woman is the reason.

On planet Akasque, Zangya had recovered! She felt somewhat helpless and fearful as her memories fully returned; she was afraid of becoming her former self again.

This was a wear and tear of time that simply could not be resisted.

"Sigh~!" Zangya let out a long breath. The past was gone, and thinking about it was useless!

She turned to look at Cooler, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. She had to admit that the vitality of a Frost Demon was truly tenacious! His body was already mangled beyond recognition, yet he still wasn't dead.

His body was actually still slowly repairing its injuries.

"Truly a race like cockroaches, disgusting." Recalling the events of one hundred thousand years ago, Zangya felt even more intense loathing for the Frost Demon.

A cyan energy blast condensed in her hand. Although it wasn't large, Karochi knew that this energy blast could completely destroy the entire planet Akasque.

Zangya didn't throw it directly at the ground; instead, she kicked the prone Cooler into the air.

Only then did she toss the energy blast.

BOOM~~~!

The massive explosion directly engulfed Cooler. It could be said to be a perfect service of killing, pulverizing his bones, and scattering his ashes all in one go.

After killing Cooler, Zangya didn't linger and took flight immediately! She glanced back at the ruined Akasque, a trace of unnatural apology and guilt flashing in her eyes.

She then left Akasque directly; she needed to find her companions as soon as possible and awaken their memories.

There was still one doubt that puzzled Zangya: who exactly was that mysterious existence who had defeated them? Only that part of her memory remained blurred.

One hundred thousand years ago, her group had been easily defeated by that person!! They hadn't even had a chance to resist.

Logically, the opponent had the ability to kill them completely, yet he hadn't done so!!

"Who on earth could it be!!?" The questioning voice echoed in the vacuum of space (actually, it didn't, since sound cannot travel in space! Everyone just knows what I mean.)

Zangya's figure disappeared into the vast universe. She was going to find her teammates!! She would do everything in her power to help them recover their memories.

"She's gone!!" Tights looked at the scene that had turned into scorched earth. She found it hard to believe that this place had been a vibrant planet just a day ago.

"Um, Tights, should we avoid this area?" Karochi felt very insecure right now. He felt that if he were kicked by Zangya even once, he would drop dead on the spot! He had to admit that Cooler was a real man, a warrior who charged into battle.

Tights glanced at him and said speechlessly: "What are you afraid of? I bet even if we really ran into that Zangya, nothing would happen!!" Her intuition had always been very accurate.

At first, the feeling Zangya gave her was indeed that she was untouchable!! She had truly felt that suffocating terror, but ever since Zangya collapsed clutching her head, that feeling had changed.

It was a sense of peace and comfort!! This feeling was something he couldn't explain to a guy like Karochi.

Karochi's mouth twitched. Where did she get this confidence!? He wanted to just use [Instant Transmission] to take Tights back to Earth. After all, the Galactic Warriors wouldn't appear on Earth for another twenty-plus years!! He didn't believe that after growing for twenty years, he wouldn't be able to handle them.

But in the end, he had to bow to Tights's tyranny and continue the voyage!! To be fair, Karochi was still very concerned about the Tree of Might. This thing wasn't in the official history.

Logically, the Fruit of the Tree of Might shouldn't have appeared in this universe, yet it had appeared quite unreasonably!! Karochi felt it was necessary to investigate.

Of course, if possible, Karochi also wanted to harvest a batch of the Fruit of the Tree of Might! After all, while it might not provide a huge boost for him, it was a great treasure for Tights or Kami.

Karochi entered his cultivation state again. Of course, it wasn't ordinary physical cultivation, but Realm Cultivation! He had to find a way to break through the shackles of his life level, but unfortunately, he had no leads!!

It was like a solid copper wall that he couldn't break with his bare hands!! Helpless, Karochi used [Instant Transmission] to arrive at the planet of the King of Yardrat.

"I wondered who it was; it turns out to be Mr. Karochi!!" Husu seemed to have guessed he would come and was already waiting at the arrival point. His "I've calculated your arrival" look was infuriating.

"Is there something wrong with the Realm Cultivation Method you gave me!!?" Karochi didn't want to waste time with a riddle-monger and stated his purpose directly. He hadn't made any progress in a month, and this problem had to be solved, or he would have to change his path.

Husu looked Karochi up and down, somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect Mr. Karochi to have already raised his life level to this extent!!"

This speed was simply too fast; he had already reached the level of himself and the King of Yardrat, Supar!! One had to know how many years they had cultivated, while Karochi had only been at it for two years. Such an achievement was astonishing.

At the same time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Karochi, you think too highly of us!! We only have this level of cultivation ourselves, and in some ways, we are even inferior!"

Husu thought to himself, Isn't this the end of the cultivation!!? From now on, improving power will have to rely on physical strength.

"Hm? You don't know how to improve further?" Karochi was stunned. Had he reached the end of Realm Cultivation!? No way, brother, this is too short!? I haven't even felt it yet, and it's already over!!

"From our perspective, that is indeed the case!!" Husu replied with a bitter smile. Breaking through the shackles of one's life level was not that simple.

The improvement of one's life level did not refer to an increase in power, but an elevation of status, which would also greatly extend one's lifespan.

"This..." Karochi was anxious. You just let me taste the sweetness, and now it's over? That's too much!!? Karochi had relied on this Realm Cultivation Method to complete one transformation, even if it wasn't a Super Saiyan!!

Was it just gone like that? Karochi felt that as long as he kept practicing this method, his upper limit would definitely be greatly increased!! Otherwise, looking at his short lifespan, he might have hope of reaching Super Saiyan 4, but going any further was absolutely impossible. After all, time was limited.

"Hmm! Mr. Karochi, to break through your current realm, I suspect you must obtain a divine position!" Husu said with a helpless expression, though he knew divine positions were not easily attained.

What? A divine position!!? Does Earth's Kami count!!? But to make himself become Kami? Kami might be willing, but he certainly wasn't! Besides, the requirements for Earth's Kami were extremely harsh; one needed to have a mind completely free of distracting thoughts.

Karochi felt a bit awkward. If he were to purge his evil thoughts, he feared it would strip away a vast majority of his power!! By then, the opponent would have a battle power of 299, while he would have 1!! Earth would be finished.

That would defeat the whole purpose of the realm-cultivation method! He was doing this to become stronger, not to end up like Kami with a battle power of only two or three hundred!! It was meaningless.

Karochi tugged at his hair in frustration!! Did this mean his training path had hit a dead end!?

"Fine, I'll think about it some more! I'm leaving." Having failed to get the answer he wanted, Karochi felt somewhat dejected and disappointed. He would continue down the path of physical strength, but the gravity machine no longer had any practical effect on him.

The power he had gained so far still relied on the physical body strengthened by the realm-cultivation method. Tsk~ as expected, cultivating like an immortal in the Dragon Ball world was unreliable.

"Mr. Karochi, there is no need to be too discouraged. Since you know where the problem lies, it can naturally be overcome!! There are many powerful deities in the universe, after all," Husu consoled him.

Karochi wasn't buying it and curled his lip! There were indeed a few powerful deities in this universe, such as Beerus the God of Destruction.

But he was still sleeping; if he were to disturb him over this matter, he would likely be destroyed on the spot! No, he didn't even have the ability to approach the Planet of the God of Destruction.

He could, however, sense the Sacred World of the Kai, but the spatial structure there was incredibly sturdy! He imagined that performing [Instant Transmission] would be very difficult, and besides, mortals were not permitted to set foot in the Sacred World of the Kai.

Although the Supreme Kai was quite weak, that was only in comparison to the late-stage Goku and the Z Fighters, or an existence as off-the-charts as Beerus.

East Supreme Kai Shin had a battle power of at least 5 billion; he could crush Frieza with a single finger, and Frieza could crush him with a single finger. Furthermore, East Supreme Kai's attendant, Kidd, looked down on mortals!

Although Karochi had secretly learned their techniques, he didn't like Kidd! That idiot, acting all high and mighty—sooner or later, he would storm the Sacred World of the Kai!!

First, he would set a small goal: reach a battle power of 10 billion!
