The next moment, Zeno suddenly floated into the air!
He gazed at Ōten and slowly said, "Now that you're an Inspector, you have to fulfill your duties!"
At that, Ōten was taken aback!
"Duties?"
It was his first time hearing about the position of Inspector, and he wasn't quite sure what the job actually entailed!
Vados smiled behind her lips. "Inspector, your duty is to oversee whether every god in the lower realms is doing their job faithfully, and report to Lord Zeno once a year!"
Hearing Vados's explanation, Ōten was thrilled. He'd just been wondering how to find Dragon Ball's protagonist, Sun Wukong of Universe 7, and have a good fight with him. He hadn't expected becoming an Inspector to give him the perfect opportunity!
Moreover, with his current strength, he was powerful enough to sweep through all Twelve Universes!
Ōten immediately assured Zeno that he would do his job well!
Hearing Ōten's pledge, Zeno smiled. "Since you'll be an Inspector from now on, I can't call you Little Ōten anymore!"
"Inspector, the time has come to put you to the test. I'll look forward to your report in a year!"
"When you return, it'll be time to hold the Twelve Universes' martial arts tournament. I can't wait!"
Zeno's face was beaming with delight!
"Okay!"
Ōten readily agreed!
After taking his leave of Zeno, Ōten headed out of the hall!
Back at his training grounds, he resumed his rigorous training!
He absolutely couldn't slack off just because he'd become an Inspector!
There were still the Angels, the Grand Priest, Zeno's guards, and Zeno himself—people he couldn't defeat!
If he wanted to feel safe in the world of Dragon Ball, he had to stand at its peak and take control of his own fate!
That meant defeating everyone stronger than him!
While he continued building his basic combat power, he spent every spare moment mastering Ultra Instinct!
Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye!
But Ōten still hadn't mastered Ultra Instinct. He'd made a start, though; it was only a matter of time before he fully understood it!
He had to keep a calm mind. If he rushed things, he might never master Ultra Instinct in his entire life!
Ōten stood up and let out a quiet breath. "Time to leave!"
He knew it was time to inspect the various universes, and his first destination was Earth in Universe 7!
He'd arrived in this world as a weakling, but now he had strength on par with a God of Destruction. Yet he'd never left Omni-King's Palace—until now!
Ōten was also looking forward to meeting the Dragon Ball warriors!
At his current level of strength, it would take him twenty minutes to travel from Destruction God's Realm to Earth in Universe 7!
After making his preparations, he turned into a streak of golden light and vanished from the palace!
Inspector Ōten had finally left Omni-King's Palace!
Zeno's Palace!
The Grand Priest stood below Zeno and slowly spoke. "Lord Zeno, the Inspector has left the palace!"
At that,
"Oh, Little Ōten has left?"
"I can't wait for him to return. When he does, we should tell him about certain things!"
At Zeno's words, the Grand Priest's eyes grew unusually solemn!
"Are those guys really going to descend upon this world again?"
"Mm!"
A hint of seriousness flashed across Zeno's seemingly innocent eyes!
Twenty minutes later!
Ōten had appeared high above Earth. He murmured,
"So this is Earth?"
"It really does feel familiar!"
As the main planet of the Dragon Ball world, Earth had beautiful surroundings and was perfectly suited for human habitation!
And Earth in the Dragon Ball world was very similar to the Earth Ōten had lived on before crossing over. It made him feel as if he'd come home!
Shaking off his thoughts, Ōten immediately plunged downward!
As soon as he reached Earth, Ōten sensed a powerful ki moving at high speed!
"That ki must belong to Son Gohan?"
Ōten wondered to himself!
Before setting out, he'd used the system to check the current point in time on Earth.
They were now in the Dragon Ball Super era. Beerus had already visited Earth, while Sun Wukong and Vegeta were training with Whis on the God of Destruction's planet.
That made Son Gohan the strongest warrior on Earth at the moment, so Ōten immediately guessed that the ki belonged to him!
As he pondered this, the system's voice rang out in his mind!
Ding! Congratulations, host—you have successfully checked in on Earth in Universe 7! Ding! Congratulations, host—you have obtained the Kamehameha! Ding! Congratulations, host—you have obtained Instant Transmission!
Son Gohan was on his way to West City to buy something for his mother when he suddenly sensed an enormous ki!
"W-what is this ki?"
"Such terrifying, unfamiliar ki... Could it be a new enemy?"
Son Gohan stopped in midair and looked in its direction, his expression grave!
This ki filled him with fear. It seemed stronger than the ki of every enemy he'd ever faced!
"D-damn it!"
Son Gohan clenched his teeth and flew toward Ōten!
In an instant, he became a speck of light in the sky and vanished over the horizon!
Ōten had just finished checking in with the system when he sensed Son Gohan approaching. So he simply sat down on a mountain peak and waited for him!
Five minutes later, accompanied by a rush of wind and the appearance of a speck of light,
Son Gohan appeared in front of Ōten!
Coming to a stop before him, Son Gohan's expression grew tense!
The man before him was a stranger, and his clothes were rather strange—they even looked a little like the Supreme Kai's garments!
Ōten was currently wearing the uniform of an Inspector from the God Realm!
"May I ask who you are? Why have you come to Earth?"
"Are you a god like the Supreme Kai?"
In response to Son Gohan's questions, Ōten only chuckled softly!
Then Son Gohan noticed the tail Ōten had deliberately revealed, and his face filled with shock!
"A S-Saiyan!!!"
Son Gohan was stunned. He didn't want to believe it, but the man in front of him had a tail. He really was a Saiyan!
And Ōten's jet-black hair only confirmed that he was a Saiyan!
Still, Son Gohan couldn't help feeling worried!
"Are you a Saiyan?"
He tried asking again!
Though he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear it from the man himself!
Saiyans were a warrior race, and they were all violent by nature!
Vegeta had been changed by the warmth of family and Sun Wukong's influence, while Sun Wukong had hit his head as a child!
If the man before him was a pure-blooded Saiyan, things could turn ugly!
Ōten understood exactly what Son Gohan was thinking!
So he smiled and said,
"That's right. I'm a Saiyan!"
Hearing Ōten's direct answer, Son Gohan couldn't help feeling nervous!
"Then why have you come to Earth? Are you planning to conquer it?"
At Son Gohan's question, Ōten couldn't help laughing to himself. He hadn't expected Son Gohan to be growing weaker and weaker—and even more timid!
So Ōten decided to stir up some of the warrior spirit in him. He said,
"You're a Saiyan too, aren't you?"
"Come at me. Let me see what you can do!"
Son Gohan was taken aback, then asked, "You want to fight me?"
Ōten nodded!
Son Gohan fell into thought. Just then, Ōten spoke again!
"I'm not asking. If you're too weak, I might just destroy this planet on a whim!"
