The final victor of the Martial God Ultimate Battle...
"It's definitely Bai Wunan, right~! As the one who planned the Ultimate Battle for hundreds of thousands of years, he must be absolutely confident!"
"Sha An Tian's also a possibility. Bai Wunan is extremely wary of him!"
"Sea Tiger could unleash a million units of power. The strength of the Primordial Powerhouses shouldn't be underestimated, either!"
"Damn it! Who the hell is Shi Tianwu!!"
Chosen by the mighty and the Primordial Spirits as "the final line of defense for life," Shi Tianwu was no perfect man. He had endured many setbacks, and had even been forced to accept that his life had been arranged by the righteous Bai Wunan before he was born. He was the reincarnation of the righteous Bai Wunan.
But in the end, he was still Shi Tianwu.
An "ordinary" Shi Tianwu.
He had neither the peerless wisdom of the other Ultimate Powerhouses nor their overwhelming strength...
What did he, Shi Tianwu, have?
His answer was: he, Shi Tianwu, was full of feeling.
He believed that hope existed, and in the end, the world had given him hope.
After the Ultimate Battle ended, he became the last person in the universe, the last Martial God, and wielded all power.
Someone had once tried to save his world, but had ultimately failed—or succeeded? The question gave Shi Tianwu pause.
Now another Earth was about to fall into a terrible hell, and Shi Tianwu would not allow himself to ignore it.
"In three years, at around 10 a.m. on May 12, two fearsome Androids will appear on an island nine kilometers southwest of South City."
"Each of these Androids will be powerful enough to suppress a Super Saiyan. They're monsters with unimaginable destructive power."
"The man who created them was Dr. Gero, a deranged scientist formerly with the Red Ribbon Army. The Androids have two directives: conquer the world, and take revenge on Sun Wukong for destroying the Red Ribbon Army."
"Ah! They're coming after me!?" Kakarot rummaged through his memories. The Red Ribbon Army... Those were the bad guys he'd beaten when he was a kid!
"Three years from now, Mr. Sun Wukong will die while battling the Heart Virus. So the ones who'll fight the Androids are all of you here. One by one, you'll fall in battle, and in the end, only Gohan will survive."
"Gohan..."
Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha heard of their own deaths, and an unwillingness welled up inside them.
"What about me!? I didn't die?" Bulma asked from the side.
"Bulma didn't die. She kept searching for a way to defeat the Androids."
Shi Tianwu answered Bulma through Son Gohan's body.
"Hey, I just had a rather bold idea."
"You came here through time to tell us all this because of the idea I came up with, didn't you?" Bulma asked Shi Tianwu.
"..."
Shi Tianwu couldn't answer Bulma.
"I suggest you gather the Dragon Balls and ask Shenron to keep Mr. Sun Wukong healthy, or to grant him the ability to heal himself in a very short time after his heart disease strikes."
"That way, Mr. Sun Wukong won't die of the illness."
"And then..."
"I'd like to share the power I've mastered with you," Shi Tianwu said.
"Share it?" Yamcha asked, confused.
"The power you've mastered?" Krillin repeated Shi Tianwu's words.
"Mr. Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Krillin, and Yamcha, with your limited natural gifts, it'll be difficult for you to improve much further. And since only someone with the same level of power as a Super Saiyan can match an Android, fighting them would leave you no different from ordinary people."
"If you master the power I share with you, you'll have an excellent chance of defeating the Androids," Shi Tianwu earnestly explained to the Earthlings and the descendant of the Three-Eyed People.
"Hmm..." Piccolo watched Shi Tianwu, deep in thought.
"Mr. Piccolo is a Namekian. If he fuses with Kami again, he can return to being a Super Namekian. His power would then be on the same level as a Super Saiyan's."
"Mr. Vegeta, Mr. Sun Wukong, you Saiyans may need the power I'm sharing, too. Once you've trained to a certain level, you'll be able to do what a Senzu Bean does—heal your own injuries."
"I never thought we'd get the chance to fight them on equal terms," Krillin said with a grin.
"Hmph, I won't accept it," Vegeta said, his pride showing. He turned his back on them.
"I'll pass, too. Just share it with Krillin and the others."
Kakarot took a step back as well.
"What I'm sharing won't give you this new power all at once. You'll have to train and work at it to master it," Shi Tianwu said.
"Mm." Piccolo nodded.
Piccolo simply wanted to study the power Shi Tianwu was going to share and gain more knowledge.
"Please, hold out your hands."
They all reached out, and Bulma placed her hand on top as well.
"Huh? You're going to fight too, Bulma?" Krillin looked at Bulma.
"What, why can't I? Can't I give it a try?" Bulma retorted, a little annoyed.
"Sure, sure!!"
Shi Tianwu smiled.
He shared all the knowledge of the Ultimate Boundless Qigong with them, along with the basics of training in Magnetic Rotation power.
"All done," Shi Tianwu said.
This was an application of the Chat Group's download function, which Shi Tianwu had thoroughly studied.
As the Chat Group's administrator, he controlled some of its permissions, and he had used those permissions to analyze its functions.
After fully analyzing the download function, Shi Tianwu could download and share any knowledge with others right in front of him.
"Ultimate Boundless Qigong?"
"Is this also a form of ki training?" Tien Shinhan murmured.
"More precisely, it uses ki, the life energy, to imitate Magnetic Rotation power," Shi Tianwu said.
"As for what Magnetic Rotation power is, the magnetic field in your world isn't very suitable for it. Your world is better suited to ki as the mainstream method of cultivation."
"However, Ultimate Boundless Qigong combines both. The level you can reach by training your ki is also the level of Magnetic Rotation power that Ultimate Boundless Qigong can imitate."
"Right, I've more or less said everything I needed to."
"I have to leave," Shi Tianwu said.
"Thank you so much," Krillin said.
"Can I pass this qigong on to my teacher, Master Mutaito?" Krillin asked.
"Of course."
"Just don't teach Ultimate Boundless Qigong to bad people," Shi Tianwu told Krillin.
"That's great!!" Krillin was overjoyed.
Master Mutaito might be able to return to the martial arts world, too.
