Chapter 47

For the past two weeks, Qilin had been too busy to come home.

Once the first group of alien visitors arrived and she completed her training, Yanhuang Academy assigned her to Tianhe City to oversee them. As a Super Soldier, she finally had a chance to come home.

Jiang Chen and Qilin were both in the prime of their lives.

And after so long apart, seeing each other again felt like a honeymoon.

They barely had time to eat before they found a more intimate way to catch up.

Jiang Chen took Qilin's hand and guided it lower. "Can you blame me? You're too tempting."

"Yes! Just like that! Ah... that's exactly right!"

Enjoying Qilin's attention, Jiang Chen asked, "By the way, Qilin, how many days can you stay this time?"

"Days? I've only got three hours!"

Qilin sounded a little helpless. "I had to squeeze even that much out of my schedule."

"But from now on, I can come home a few times a week!"

"Happy?"

Jiang Chen wasted no time answering. He rolled over and pinned her beneath him. "Then we'd better make every minute count!"

"Time together is precious."

"And wasting it would be a crime!"

Qilin burst out laughing. She said nothing more, closing her eyes and letting Jiang Chen have his way with her.

"Give me a heads-up before you come back next time, Qilin."

Two hours later, Jiang Chen walked Qilin to the door. "Then I can have dinner ready."

"Otherwise, all you'll get is my little flying stick."

Qilin blushed at that. She gave his forehead a quick kiss, called him a "little rascal," and skipped away.

Not long after Qilin left, a bold, blood-red banner suddenly appeared on the Myriad Races Livestream, which had been quiet for two weeks.

[The Super God Universe is facing a threat of destruction.]

[People of every world, prepare yourselves for the imminent invasion of the Dragon Ball Universe!]

The sudden banner caught everyone's attention.

Everyone who read it was stunned. The Super God Universe was facing destruction?

Could that be true?

Then a video titled "Dragon Ball Universe" began playing automatically in every livestream!

Deciding to Send SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, into the Dragon Ball World!

(Third update. Please subscribe! Your support keeps me writing. Tomorrow's first update should be around two. I've been busy these past few days, so I can only post three chapters, though they still total ten thousand words. Sorry!)

As the video began, a narrator spoke:

[Within the endless Chaotic Boundary Sea lie countless worlds, home to all manner of species. Worlds can broadly be divided into three types.]

[Small planets, such as Pirate Planet, Ninja Planet, and Pokémon Planet...]

[Mid-sized universes, such as the Super God Universe and the Dragon Ball Universe...]

[And source worlds known as realms, such as Devouring World and Shrouded Heaven World...]

[Originally, every planet, universe, and source world existed independently in the Chaotic Boundary Sea. But due to an unknown force, all of them...]

[Are converging on the center of the Chaotic Boundary Sea. As they do, their paths will inevitably cross.]

[Planets become satellites of universes, and universes become satellites of source worlds.]

[Eventually, all worlds will become one.]

The narration left everyone in the livestream baffled, Jiang Chen included.

So this was how the Super God Universe he had crossed into fit into the bigger picture.

What a setting.

While everyone was still trying to make sense of it, the narrator continued:

[As all worlds converge, collisions, bloodshed, and mutations are inevitable. For reasons unknown, the Dragon Ball Universe has undergone a mutation.]

[The Dragon Ball Universe contains a planet called Vegeta. It is home to a unique race known as the Saiyans!]

Images appeared on-screen as the narrator spoke.

They showed a somewhat barren expanse of land.

Above it hovered a dense crowd of warriors in unusual armor. Every one of them had black hair, a powerful build, and muscles that looked hard as stone.

A savage aura radiated from each of them.

As the livestream viewers watched in disbelief, the warrior at the front extended his right hand and formed a brilliant ball of energy.

With a casual wave, he sent it plunging into the barren ground.

In the next instant, the Earth-sized planet was reduced to dust and vanished from the universe. The warriors, meanwhile, were completely unharmed...

At the sight of that—

Even the greatest fighters from the Indigenous Worlds were stunned, let alone ordinary livestream viewers. Holy Kesha and the others at the pinnacle of the Super God Universe shot up from their thrones.

An entire planet had been destroyed as casually as that.

How was that possible?

Were the Saiyans really so powerful?

That was far more terrifying than her own Fourth-Generation Divine Body.

Jiang Chen was no less shocked than Holy Kesha and the others. As someone who had crossed worlds, he knew the story of the Dragon Ball World well.

Its strongest fighters focused on cultivating ki and could unleash attacks capable of destroying worlds.

But aside from a select few, they absolutely could not survive in space.

Saiyans certainly couldn't!

Yet every Saiyan in the video could survive in space. Was this because of the mutation?

[Sengoku: These Saiyans from the Dragon Ball World are terrifying. They destroyed a planet with one attack. What if every one of them is that strong?]

[Genos: Their strength is probably still a little below my teacher's, but not by much.]

[Big Mom: If I could have children with a Saiyan, I'd give birth to even stronger ones.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Every one of them is stronger than the Sage of Six Paths. That's... unbelievable! We can only hope they're peaceful.]

[...]

The viewers were still too stunned by the Saiyans' strength to speak when the narrator began introducing their race.

[In the Dragon Ball World, Saiyans are known as a warrior race. They are born fighters. If an injury does not kill them, they recover stronger than before.]

[They spend their days searching the universe for desirable planets. After slaughtering every intelligent being on one, they sell it to other aliens at a high price.]

[They send adult warriors to purge planets capable of putting up a fight. On weaker planets, they leave newborn children to destroy the world.]

[Eighteen years ago, their race underwent a transformation. They no longer knew only slaughter; they learned to draw on others' strengths and study martial arts.]

[They also used items called Dragon Balls to make extraordinary leaps in power. Even their weakest warriors are now on par with a Fourth-Generation Divine Body.]

[In a short time, they became the undisputed rulers of the Dragon Ball World. Since the convergence of the worlds began, they have destroyed three universes.]

[The Super God Universe will come into contact with the Dragon Ball World in twenty-four hours!]

When the narration ended, everyone in the Super God Universe fell silent.

Even carefree Luffy and the others grasped how serious this was. With its current strength, the Super God Universe would have to face a race whose every member was on par with a Fourth-Generation Divine Body...

A warrior race that lived for slaughter.

They would be walking into a massacre.

The strongest people of the Indigenous Worlds were terrified. Even Holy Kesha, Pan Zhen, Death God Karl, and Hua Ye had gone deathly pale.

By their calculations, the Super God Universe had no chance of winning on its own.

Its destruction was only a matter of time.

At last, they understood why the banner had warned that the Super God Universe faced a threat of destruction.

Countless people trembled in fear.

But they had not lost all hope.

The Saiyans might be overwhelmingly powerful, but the Super God Universe still had a chance. They had all witnessed the SCP Foundation's strength.

If the SCP Foundation stepped in, the outcome might be different.

But the SCP Foundation was far too mysterious.

Its motto was "We control, we contain, we protect!" Yet no one knew whom the SCP Foundation intended to protect.

What if it only protected humans on Earth?

Once the initial shock passed, people flooded the livestream with mentions of the SCP Foundation, desperate to know whether their worlds fell under its protection.

[Sengoku: @SCP Foundation, can you give us a straight answer? Is the Pirate World under your protection?]

[If not, we need to make other plans now.]

[Pain: Exactly. If the Ninja World isn't under the Foundation's protection, we'll have to find another way.]

[Aizen: I'm sure the SCP Foundation will intervene. The Saiyans are conquerors. They won't leave Earth alone!]

[But by the time the SCP Foundation acts, our planet may already be gone.]

[Genos: I hope my teacher can hold out until the SCP Foundation intervenes.]

[Tatsumaki: They're just a bunch of monkeys. I'll kill as many as come!]

[Kaido: @Tatsumaki, I admire your confidence, but aren't you taking it a little too far?]

[Fusu: I'm done. Their combat power is off the charts. Even if we give it everything we've got, we won't hold out. I'm giving up. Father, it's not that your son won't try!]

[The enemy is just too strong.]

[Miko: I wonder whether Evil Spirits eat Saiyans!]

[...]

The viewers were still trying to find out whether the SCP Foundation would intervene—and, if so, when—when a link appeared in every livestream. It led to a video from the Dragon Ball World.

A middle-aged man in battle armor sat on a throne, his eyes murderous and red markings on his face. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am King Vegeta."

"Friends of the Super God Universe, we'll meet in twenty-four hours!"

"I'm giving you two choices!"

"First, submit to me and become a subordinate race of the Saiyans. Not only will you live, but you'll also receive a method for cultivating ki!"

"Of course, you can choose to resist!"

"If you do, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Submit or be wiped out. The choice is yours!"

The video ended as soon as King Vegeta finished speaking. Brief as it was, it sent shock waves through the Super God Universe.

Would they fight or surrender?

The argument raged on!
