The vast starry sky stretched across the boundless universe.
At that moment, inside the Travel Cube.
Mu Yang looked at the star map in his hand and learned where the Saiyans of Universe 6 lived: Planet Sadala.
It wasn't too far away.
"Travel Cube, take me to Planet Sadala," Mu Yang commanded it mentally.
The Travel Cube sped through the universe at the speed of light.
Mu Yang wasn't going to find Frost simply to cause him trouble.
After all, he wasn't a good-hearted do-gooder.
What Frost of Universe 6 wanted to do had nothing to do with him.
There were two reasons he was going to cause Frost trouble. First, he needed Frost to hire Hit, the elusive assassin.
The other reason was the system's reward.
[ Ding~ Congratulations, host. After witnessing Frost's despicable nature, your heaven-defying comprehension has automatically granted you Poison Pill Creation.]
Poison Pill Creation!
It wasn't much of a reward. It was better than nothing, but it wasn't any help to Mu Yang.
"Frost is still pretty useless." Mu Yang looked at the reward displayed on the system panel and could only complain that Frost was trash. He had nothing else to say.
He'd been so excited, and this was all he got? That was it?
Mu Yang shook his head and put the thought aside, instead placing all his hopes on the assassin Hit.
If he remembered correctly, Hit seemed to know Time Skip.
He should get a decent reward from him.
If he was incredibly lucky, he might even get the thing he wanted most: the rules of time.
A glint flashed in Mu Yang's eyes as the Travel Cube suddenly accelerated.
It crossed one star system after another and passed planet after planet, finally landing on Planet Sadala.
This was the Saiyans' home base in Universe 6.
There were many Saiyans here.
Mu Yang had only just landed and hadn't yet put away the Travel Cube when—
"Cool!" an excited voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Big Sister Caulifla, we should hurry up and go," another, soft voice chimed in.
"Kale, don't be such a scaredy-cat! He doesn't look like a bad guy to me!"
Mu Yang turned around and looked at the two people behind him who had spoken.
They were both Saiyans.
And both were girls.
Mu Yang recognized them. They were Caulifla and Kale, Saiyans from Universe 6.
Kale, in particular, was the Legendary Saiyan of Universe 6.
"Hey! Hello!" Caulifla greeted him, stepping forward. She was still just a five-year-old little girl.
She only came up to Mu Yang's neck.
Kale timidly stayed behind Caulifla, occasionally glancing up at Mu Yang.
Whenever she saw Mu Yang looking her way,
Kale quickly lowered her head again.
Kale and Caulifla were the same age, both five, and had grown up together as best friends.
"Hello, I'm Mu Yang," he said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm Caulifla, and this is Kale," Caulifla introduced herself, taking the opportunity to introduce Kale as well.
"Mm." Mu Yang wasn't surprised. He already knew their names, so he nodded.
"Mu Yang, are you a Saiyan too?" Caulifla asked excitedly.
Mu Yang nodded.
"Liar." Kale's mouth turned down. "There's no Saiyan like you on Planet Sadala."
"Kale," Caulifla scolded her, looking a little embarrassed.
"Sorry about that!"
"It's fine."
Mu Yang remained calm. "I didn't explain myself clearly. To be precise, I'm a Saiyan from Universe 7."
"Universe 7?" Caulifla and Kale both froze.
Clearly, it was the first time either of them had heard the term Universe 7.
Seeing that they didn't understand, Mu Yang smiled and explained, "There are twelve universes in all. The one you're in is called Universe 6, and Universe 6 and Universe 7 are mirror universes."
"By 'mirror universes,' I mean that whatever exists in Universe 7 also exists in your Universe 6, though there are some small differences."
It was the first time Caulifla and Kale had heard such a fascinating theory.
Caulifla especially had bright eyes. She practically wore her desire to explore the other universes on her face.
"Hey! How do you get to the other universes?" Caulifla asked, full of curiosity.
"Big Sis." Kale tugged at Caulifla's sleeve.
Looking at the two girls being so cautious, Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh helplessly. "Wait a moment. I need to take care of something."
After patting both their heads, Mu Yang turned around and looked toward a nearby rock.
"You've been hiding there for quite a while. Surely you've watched enough?"
Under the astonished gazes of Kale and Caulifla, a burly alien slowly emerged from behind the rock.
He had one hand in his pocket and a cold look in his eyes.
"Someone has put a bounty on your head on the black market."
He said it calmly.
"Mm." Mu Yang simply nodded, completely unsurprised.
He knew the person standing before him. He was an assassin from Universe 6.
Hit!
He had a one hundred percent success rate and had never failed a mission.
"It was that guy Frost, wasn't it?" Mu Yang said with certainty.
Hit didn't answer. Instead, he slowly pulled one hand from his sleeve and assumed an assassin's stance. "I can't reveal my employer's identity."
That was the basic professional code of an assassin.
"I see." Mu Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Hit's arrival had been part of his plan from the beginning, anyway.
It didn't matter who had sent him.
"But I just heard what you said," Hit continued, fixing Mu Yang with a cool gaze as he enunciated every word. "Before you die, I want to know how you travel between universes."
"Why would I tell you?" Mu Yang raised an eyebrow.
He didn't think Hit could be that stupid.
Hit was going to kill him, so why would he tell Hit how to travel between universes?
"After you die, I can kill the person who hired me to kill you." Hit fell silent for a moment before making his offer.
Mu Yang almost laughed in disbelief. "I'll already be dead by then. Whether you kill him or not won't matter to me."
"That's true." Hit didn't deny it.
"But I have a few ideas of my own." Hit shifted his gaze to the Travel Cube beside Mu Yang. "This thing brought you here, didn't it?"
"What if I said it didn't?" Mu Yang's lips curled upward, his expression playful.
"Looks like it did." Hit read Mu Yang's expression and knew his guess had been right.
"After you die, could you give this thing to me?" Hit asked politely.
"Of course." Mu Yang's lips curled. "That is, if you can kill me."
