Three choices, huh?
Shano calms himself, pinching his chin, thinking carefully.
Fortunately, he has some knowledge about these three worlds, so he won't be at a disadvantage in terms of information right from the start.
Among them, Baki seems like it can be excluded first.
The reason is simple.
The power level is just too low.
All the masters inside combined could be settled with just one punch in front of him.
Places without pressure can't help him break through his limits again, let alone attain the power to surpass Imu's true form.
As for the remaining "Dragon Ball Z" and "Bleach"...
"Both carry great risk."
The risk with Bleach lies in its completely different training system, and since he's entering halfway, he might not master the powers of that world, potentially wasting a whole year.
And the risk of Dragon Ball Z...
Simply lies in its extremely high power levels.
Dangerous and evil enemies gather constantly, wave after wave.
If he's unlucky, as soon as he crosses over, he might see a little purple-skinned dwarf on the opposite side...
"Huh?"
While Shano is pondering, he suddenly notices two little lines of text in the bottom right corner of the page.
It's easy to miss if you don't look carefully—
[The high-fidelity simulation world is the product design goal]
[Compared to the original world, the strength has a certain gap]
Shano's gaze lingers on the two small lines of text for a moment, frowning slightly.
"The strength has a gap?"
He mutters to himself, "So all the characters in the simulation world will be considerably weaker than the original version..."
That indeed reduces the risk significantly.
It seems I don't need to hesitate any longer.
If even this high-fidelity simulation version of Dragon Ball Z scares me, how can I talk about challenging Imu's true form? How can I talk about rewriting this world completely?
"I'll choose Dragon Ball Z!"
Shano doesn't hesitate anymore, decisively clicking his finger on the option.
The system interface glows with golden light, as the text gradually changes:
[World chosen: Dragon Ball Z (high-fidelity simulation version)]
[Time flow ratio: 1 week (real) = 1 year (simulation)]
[Note: During simulation, the system trading market also follows real-time flow, and upon returning to the original world after one year, you cannot bring out any items from this simulated world]
Understood.
This is easy to understand; in the simulated world, all he can gain is the enhancement of himself after rigorous training, not relying on external objects.
This fits his preferences perfectly.
After all, he has reached today by relying purely on his own effort and sweat, hasn't he?
Shano dials Kuina's phone number, explains that he will be training in retreat for a week, and then looks intently at the panel in front of him.
Well then, time to set off.
Finally reached this moment.
Shano grins.
The pressure brought by Imu's true form still hangs high in the sky, and he doesn't want to end up failing, reduced to a second Moonlight Moriah.
For this, even if the road ahead is fraught with dangers, he gladly accepts it!
"Let's go!"
Buzz!
Golden light flashes, and within the decayed, desolate shrine, the figure seems to vanish into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
.......
.......
Earth, Northern Hemisphere.
Underneath the endless expanse of snowy mountain ranges lies an equally boundless prairie.
Waves of green grass sway gently in the wind, with a pleasant temperature.
Shano regains consciousness, and as he opens his eyes, he's greeted by this scene.
"This should be Earth, right?"
Shano glances at the sun in the sky, murmuring.
As long as it's not Namek Star...
Shano feels his body slightly, immediately detecting the most crucial anomaly.
The gravity here seems slightly weaker than in the Pirate World.
He experimentally moves his arms and legs, discovering his movements are more agile and fast than usual, easily covering several meters in a single step.
A jump takes him several meters into the air.
"Interesting..."
Shano lifts an eyebrow; under this gravity difference, both his speed and explosive power have increased a notch.
Is it because Earth's Dragon Ball World itself is smaller than the Pirate World?
Or is it strength reduction due to high-fidelity simulation?
It doesn't matter, as long as he knows he can exert greater power in this world, that's enough.
Well then, let's first find the nearest human city and figure out the timeline.
He looks into the distance, vaguely seeing the outline of a city at the end of the horizon to the northeast.
That's the spot!
Shano activates the Aerial Dance Skill, ascending high into the sky, and then flashes his figure, transforming into a residual shadow as he sweeps towards the city.
Swoosh!
He's exceedingly fast, quickly closing half the distance.
But at this moment...
"Hmm?!!"
Shano suddenly halts his movement, looking southeast.
From that direction, beyond the high slopes tens of kilometers away, several exceedingly violent energy fluctuations intermittently resonate, as if someone is engaged in fierce combat there.
Shano immediately activates Observation fully, covering the distance.
He's faced many opponents, with a wealth of experience to draw upon; even from such a distance, he can accurately gauge their approximate strength.
There are three people there, engaged in a two-against-one.
The pair teaming up give him a similar feeling to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, while the besieged one possesses an aura nearly akin to Four Emperor Level.
Interesting.
Though he doesn't know who they are.
It seems that just minutes after crossing over, he's already encountered some formidable figures.
