As for younger brothers, it was fine if he bullied them, but if others dared to do so, that was unacceptable.
Lazuli's rage had reached its peak. If Malun were standing in front of her right now, she would have shattered her with a single punch.
Chiga had already expected this reaction; after all, he knew exactly what kind of person Malun was.
Lapis sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose helplessly.
"Forget it, Sister. This time, it's just my bad luck. Actually, I did fight back yesterday. All those men were sent straight to the hospital by me."
Lazuli folded her arms and huffed. "Alright, that's my little brother. But this frustration still needs an outlet!"
"Oh right," Lapis continued, "yesterday I also ran into a short bald guy. He was one of Malun's suitors, but he was actually a decent person. After I fought back, he dragged me away—otherwise, I'd probably have been tangled up with the police."
That caught Chiga's attention. He tilted his head slightly.
"A little bald guy? Was his name Krillin?"
"Huh? Yeah, that sounds right. Do you know him, Chiga?"
"Not personally," Chiga replied, a faint smirk curving his lips. "But that little bald guy isn't as ordinary as he looks. He's got some strength."
"Really?" Lapis grinned. "Then maybe I'll spar with him next time."
Chiga chuckled. "Don't bother. He's strong enough, but not on your level. You'd just end up disappointed."
"Alright, fine…" Lapis shrugged in resignation.
Lazuli rose from her seat, walked over to her brother, and gave his shoulder a firm pat. "Tonight, just stay home and rest quietly. Chiga and I have somewhere to go."
"What? Where?" Lapis asked suspiciously.
"Moon viewing," Lazuli replied with a playful grin.
"...You two enjoy yourselves," he muttered, trudging back to his room in mock despair.
That night, under Lapis's resentful gaze, Lazuli cheerfully wrapped her arms around Chiga's and followed him out into the quiet night.
They arrived at a remote and tranquil spot—deserted, but with a surprisingly beautiful view. Lazuli sat down, her azure eyes fixed on Chiga as if to say, I'm waiting. Show me what you can do.
Chiga smiled faintly. He raised his hand, and the ground trembled violently. A deep rumble echoed through the land, startling Lazuli.
Moments later, her eyes widened as she saw several distant mountains collapsing one after another. Stones and boulders shot into the air, scattering across the horizon. The same phenomenon was occurring across various uninhabited regions of the planet.
High above, an enormous sphere gradually formed in the sky, growing larger and brighter until it illuminated the world below.
A new moon—brilliant and full—now hung proudly in the heavens.
Lazuli stared up in stunned silence. She had just witnessed another miracle, one that only a god could perform.
Destroying a moon was something even she could do now. But creating one—such an act was divine.
Chiga's white tail slowly unfurled from around his waist. As moonlight bathed his body, he opened his arms to the sky.
Thump-thump!
A heartbeat like a war drum resounded through the air. Silver fur began to sprout along his limbs, spreading rapidly as his body expanded.
"Roar!"
The ground shook under the mighty bellow that followed. Chiga had transformed—his form now that of a massive silver-furred ape.
The white coat he wore shimmered with energy, its phantom fabric remaining intact despite the enormous change in size.
Lazuli floated before him, awe-struck.
"Chiga! Chiga, can you hear me?" she shouted.
His massive golden eyes glowed with divine power. Then, his hand moved—slowly, carefully—closing around Lazuli. She trembled slightly but didn't resist. Instead, she placed her palm against his massive fingers and whispered gently,
"Don't scare me, Chiga. Change back, please."
A faint, almost playful smile tugged at the corners of the great ape's mouth. He set Lazuli softly on the ground, lifted his arms to the sky, and roared again.
Brilliant silver Ki flared from his body, wrapping him in light as his form began to shrink. When the radiance faded, Chiga stood once more—humanoid again.
His white trench coat fluttered in the night wind, faint traces of silver fur visible across his chest. Around his eyes, a silver glow shimmered like markings, and within his golden pupils burned a small, fierce flame. His long silver hair fell wildly around him, two strands crossing over his chest.
Under the moonlight, he radiated both wild strength and divine grace—two opposing forces that somehow existed in perfect harmony.
This form resembled the legendary Super Saiyan 5, but it was something beyond—infused with the bloodline of the Legendary Super Saiyan and the divine essence of God's Ki.
Lazuli couldn't look away. She was completely entranced by his presence.
When Chiga pulled her gently into his arms, she finally regained her senses, her heart racing uncontrollably.
A mischievous smile curved his lips. Lazuli's voice trembled as she murmured,
"Chiga… tonight, are you showing me the moon—or yourself?"
"Is there a difference?" he teased softly. "Both belong to you."
Her face flushed crimson. She pressed her cheek against his chest, closing her eyes. Tonight felt like a dream she never wanted to end.

Far above, in the Realm of the Gods—
Inside a massive tree, Beerus stirred from his decades-long slumber. His eyes opened, glowing with deep violet light.
He stepped out with his hands behind his back, where Whis was already waiting, a rare hint of concern on his usually calm face.
"Lord Beerus," Whis said slowly, "you must have sensed it too, haven't you?"
Beerus nodded. "That's why I woke up early. This Ki… it's divine—and terrifyingly strong. Who could possess such power?"
Whis raised his staff and tapped it lightly. The image of a blue planet appeared in the crystal sphere at its tip.
Beerus leaned forward, studying it. "That aura came from this planet? What's its name? It looks unfamiliar."
"It is called Earth," Whis replied. "A remote world. Shall we go take a look, Lord Beerus?"
Beerus smirked. "Of course. I didn't expect such a powerful being to emerge in my universe. I could use a good stretch."
Whis hesitated. Even as an Angel, that divine Ki had shaken him slightly—a rare occurrence. It meant the being they were going to face might even surpass Beerus.
"Whis!" Beerus snapped impatiently. "Stop daydreaming and take me there!"
With a soft sigh, Whis complied. The two turned into streaks of light and vanished into the cosmos, heading toward Earth.
Meanwhile, in the depths of space, aboard a massive ship, Frieza sat smugly in his floating pod, a sly grin curling across his face.
Reports had just come in—Vegeta and Nappa had gone to Earth and gone silent.
But what interested Frieza more than their fate was...
