Merus
"I've come to you this time because I want you to help train Goku," Indra said to Merus.
"Training Goku?" Merus was slightly taken aback and glanced at Son Goku.
"That's right, significantly enhance his potential strength," Indra said.
"Okay, then." Merus hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Indra, is he really that powerful?" Son Goku was a little unsure.
This blue-skinned fellow, like Indra, showed no signs of aura.
Is he really that powerful?
"Try attacking me with all your might," Merus chuckled.
"Really? I'm very powerful!" Son Goku exclaimed excitedly.
"This isn't a good place, let's go somewhere else." Merus looked around his room.
If a fight broke out here, the room would be damaged.
If not handled carefully, even a corner of the space station could malfunction.
"No need for all that trouble." Indra waved his hand lightly, muttering incantations, "Reinforce the room! Increase its strength by 100 times."
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the solidity of the entire room changed.
Creation is truly amazing.
Once a certain level of sturdiness is established, the environment can be left unchanged, allowing them to fight with peace of mind.
Merus' eyes widened, and he walked over and gently knocked on the wall of the room.
Sure enough, the walls of the room were more solid than before.
Merus' eyes widened.
This Indra is even more mysterious than I imagined!
Is he really not the reincarnation of the Grand Zeno?
This reinforcement is absolutely amazing.
Even with my divine power, I couldn't reinforce it to this extent.
"Alright, alright then, let's have a quick spar right here." Merus nodded, smiling as he looked at Son Goku.
"Alright, here I come!" Son Goku clenched his fist.
However, Son Goku did not transform; he simply faced Merus in his normal form.
"Call out!"
Son Goku flew rapidly towards Merus, his fist also aimed at Merus.
However, just as Son Goku was about to hit Merus...
"Whoosh!"
Merus's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
"What?" Son Goku exclaimed in astonishment.
Merus quickly appeared behind Son Goku and kicked him, making Son Goku stumble.
Son Goku stood up and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Pretty fast, but the movements look a bit stiff," Merus chuckled.
"Alright, now I'm going to get serious." Son Goku gritted his teeth, his expression turning serious.
"Smack!"
Son Goku transformed into Super Saiyan.
Merus paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"I'm here!" Son Goku flew towards Merus's direction once again.
"Bang!"
Before Son Goku could even make a move, he was slapped to the ground by Merus.
"Your transformation has indeed increased your strength considerably, but you're relying too much on your own energy," Merus cautioned.
However, Son Goku was no longer listening.
Son Goku's eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Merus.
"Well then, I'm going to get serious now, so I hope you don't get hurt," Son Goku said.
"Come on then," Merus nodded.
"Alright, Super Saiyan 3!" Son Goku said, golden flames erupting around him, his hair growing back.
Son Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 3.
If Indra hadn't reinforced the room, the process of Son Goku transforming alone would probably have caused it to collapse.
"This is my strongest transformation. Let's start again," Son Goku said, looking at Merus.
"Okay." Merus nodded.
"Whoosh!"
Son Goku flew rapidly towards Merus, his speed increasing dramatically compared to before.
However, in the eyes of the Apprentice Angel Merus, it was nothing.
"Smack!"
Merus simply raised his hand and blocked Son Goku's attack.
"What?" Son Goku was stunned, his eyes widening.
"To raise the energy to this level is truly remarkable." Merus smiled, then quickly appeared behind Son Goku.
"Bang!"
Merus slapped Son Goku on the back.
Instantly, Son Goku lost consciousness, and his hair turned from gold to black.
Son Goku collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Hmm, not bad, as expected of the Grand Priest's son." Indra nodded.
"Haha, you flatter me." Merus chuckled. "You're the one who's amazing; your abilities are very similar to those of the Zeno."
"You knocked Goku unconscious because you have something to say to me privately, right?" Indra asked with a smile, looking at Merus.
"Yes," Merus nodded. "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask how Mr. Indra intends for me to teach him? Should I continue to enhance his energy, or should he develop in the direction of divinity?"
"Let's develop in the direction of God 050," Indra said.
"I understand," Merus replied.
"He's in your hands now," Indra said.
"No problem." Merus nodded, chuckling awkwardly. "Actually, Mr. Indra could train Mr. Son Goku himself. I believe the Son Goku trained by Mr. Indra would be even better than me."
"I'm very busy, unlike you who have so much free time," Indra said with a smile.
Merus: ""
I'm the one who's busy, okay?
I am, after all, a Galactic Patrol.
You're the one who's idle.
Merus was truly speechless.
Indra ignored Merus and walked over to Son Goku, waking him up.
Son Goku opened his eyes and suddenly leaped up from the ground.
"I remember being knocked unconscious by Merus, that was amazing!" Son Goku's face was filled with excitement.
"Sorry, I went a little too far," Merus chuckled.
"It's alright, I will work hard to cultivate." Son Goku nodded solemnly, his expression full of anticipation.
"I train very hard," Merus said.
"Don't worry, I'll be strict with myself," Son Goku replied, scratching his head. He then added, "However, I'll have to leave in two months. Don't worry, I'll be right back, and I might even need to borrow a spaceship."
Chapter 179: Merus
"Leaving? Is something the matter?" Merus asked.
"Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo are all dead. I have to go save them," Son Goku said.
"What? They weren't resurrected using the Planet Namek Dragon Ball?" Indra asked.
"Ahem, my wish back then was to revive those killed by Buu. But those few weren't killed directly by Buu; they died in the Earth's explosion," Son Goku said with a wry smile.
"Oh? I remember Gohan also died in the Earth's explosion." Indra said thoughtfully.
"Gohan was revived using Earth's Dragon Ball," Son Goku explained. "Over the course of a month, I gathered all the Earth's Dragon Ball and revived Gohan and those who died in the Buu incident, except for the bad guys. However, since Krillin and the others have already died once, Earth's Dragon Ball cannot revive them."
"Why bother with all that trouble? Do we really need to wait another two months to revive Krillin and the others?" Indra chuckled.
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do. The Planet Namek Dragon Ball won't be able to revive for another two months," Son Goku replied.
"No need for that. Let Merus revive them." Indra looked at Merus.
Merus: ""
I don't want to reveal my identity yet, okay?
"Merus can resurrect them? Really?" Son Goku's face was filled with shock.
"How could what I said be false? Merus is incredibly powerful; reviving Krillin and the others would be far too easy for him," Indra said with a smile.
Merus: ""
Indra, are you trying to force me into this?
You can't do that.
"That's great, Merus. I thank you on behalf of Krillin and the others," Son Goku said, taking Merus's hand.
Merus felt aggrieved.
I didn't say I would help you save people.
"Let's go, Merus. I'd like to see how you resurrect people," Indra said.
Merus is exhausted.
They really love making a scene!
Merus truly didn't want the dead to be brought back to life.
Although, for Merus, this was an easy thing.
But doing so is unethical.
Once someone dies, they're dead. Reviving them with Dragon Ball is already disrupting the universe's ecosystem.
You even made me, Apprentice Angel, personally help resurrect them.
"Ahem, I'm really sorry, this is a bit against the rules," Merus, somewhat embarrassed.
"Huh? What's this? It's amazing," Indra suddenly said.
As Indra spoke, a shimmering point of light appeared at the tip of his index finger.
The tiny specks of light, about the size of a sesame seed, are quite eye-catching.
Upon seeing this dazzling little point of light, a glint of light flashed in Merus's eyes.
