"...If that human is simply trying to break through his limits, I happen to know a way to make it happen."

The words left Laila utterly astonished. She stared at him in shock.

"You know a way to help someone break through their limits!?"

"Yes!"

Shin looked at Laila and spoke earnestly.

"I only learned about this method after I succeeded the Great Supreme Kai."

"I see."

Laila nodded. No wonder she had never heard of it, while Shin knew about it.

"Since there's a way, what is it?"

Shin answered her question.

"There's a peerless divine sword in the Supreme Kai World. According to the records, none of the Supreme Kais throughout history has ever managed to draw it. But it's said that whoever can pull it out will gain boundless power. That power should certainly help the human break through his current limits and reach another level."

"The Z Sword!?"

"Yes."

At the Supreme Kai's answer, Laila hurriedly asked, "Is the Z Sword really that powerful?"

"Of course!"

Shin replied with certainty.

"Laila, you weren't in the Supreme Kai World before. As I said, I only learned about it when I officially took up the position of Supreme Kai, so you can rest assured."

Kibito, standing nearby, chimed in.

"That's right, West Supreme Kai. You were still trainee Supreme Kais back then, under the Great Supreme Kai's protection, so you weren't told some important things. But this is certainly true. According to the records, the Z Sword's power is unmatched."

As she listened to the two of them, Laila's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She said happily, "Great! In that case, we shouldn't waste any time. Let's contact him now and bring him here."

"All right!"

Shin nodded.

"Describe his name and appearance, and I'll see if I can find him."

"Mm..."

Earth.

At the Lookout.

As always, the Guardian of Earth watched over the world below, paying particular attention to a child with a monkey's tail. The boy was four years old, and the Guardian had been observing him for all four years.

The Guardian knew this child very well. He knew who he was and what potential he had, because one of his kinsmen had come to Earth long ago.

Looking at the boy, the Guardian smiled faintly.

"Son Goku, Earth's future may well rest on your shoulders."

In the vastness of space, Kast was flying forward at tremendous speed. He was moving so fast that the stars on either side seemed to slide backward.

Suddenly, Kast stopped in midair. His voice turned cold.

"Who are you?"

"..."

There was no one around him, and not a sound could be heard. Yet Kast seemed to be speaking with someone.

"The Supreme Kai!?"

"Yes!"

The one speaking was Shin, the Supreme Kai.

Shin had found Kast after hearing Laila's description, though it had taken him considerable effort. He was now contacting him through long-distance telepathy.

The reason it had taken so long was that Kast looked different from usual.

At that moment, Kast was flying at high speed in his Super Saiyan form. But Laila had described what he looked like in his normal state.

His transformed appearance was too different from his original one.

As a result, the Supreme Kai had searched for a long time without finding a single clue.

At first, he thought he simply hadn't searched carefully enough. But after he told Laila what had happened, she informed him that Kast might have another form. So he searched for someone matching a Saiyan's appearance, and this time he found Kast quickly.

"Supreme Kai, what do you want with me?"

Kast knew the Supreme Kai fairly well. After all, the Supreme Kai had appeared quite often in his previous life, and the person he had lived with for eight years had also been a Supreme Kai. But he had no idea why the Supreme Kai was looking for him now.

Seeing that Kast was willing to talk, the Supreme Kai smiled.

"I'm here because you're troubled by how to break through your limits, aren't you?"

"..."

When Kast remained silent, the Supreme Kai continued.

"I can help you break through the Saiyans' bottleneck. If you're willing, I can help you right now."

Kast remained expressionless and replied calmly, "Is Laila with you? How do you know so much about me?"

The Supreme Kai didn't hide the truth. "Yes. Laila is here with me. I learned about you from her, including the problem you're facing. I can help you break through your current limits."

"What do you want me to do?"

Kast didn't believe in free meals. There was no way anyone would help him for no reason, even if West Supreme Kai Laila was involved.

After all, Laila had helped him before because she wanted his blood. She had her own motives.

Far away, the Supreme Kai heard Kast's question and smiled awkwardly.

"That's true. I do need you to help me with something..."
