Chapter 123: Super Dragon Balls
West Galaxy and Galactic Center border star region—a gigantic red planet quietly rotated in the universe.
Swish!
Suddenly, a massive celestial body no smaller than the red planet—as if squeezed out from a painting—appeared abruptly in the red planet's star region.
Accompanying the Three-Star Dragon Ball's appearance, Turles's figure also appeared in this star region. But the moment he appeared, he could no longer hold on. He directly descended onto the Three-Star Dragon Ball's surface.
Huff! Huff!
Turles knelt on one knee. His chest heaved violently. Clearly, the just-concluded operation wasn't simple for him.
Looks like I still overreached somewhat!
Looking at the celestial body beneath him, while recovering his consumption, Turles thought silently.
Though the Super Dragon Ball's special properties made its mass far lower than ordinary planets, its volume was truly too massive.
This way, when Turles teleported with the Super Dragon Ball, it was tantamount to carrying a small planet. In just an instant, his mental power was nearly drained.
This was Turles—his mental power was originally stronger than ordinary people's. Plus, he'd undergone specialized mental training. Otherwise, ordinary people wanting to teleport with Super Dragon Balls probably lacked this ability entirely.
This was also a shortcoming of the Dragon Ball world's power system.
Though the Dragon Ball world also possessed transcendent power, compared to some other fantasy worlds, this world's power remained relatively singular.
At the mortal stage, the most direct power was just battle power improvement. Battle power mostly manifested in life forms' energy.
Even at the deity stage, it only manifested in lifespan and destructive power.
Like Gods of Destruction—they could easily destroy half a planet without affecting the planet's normal operation. But even Beerus had no way directly pushing a planet to move through the universe.
As for Supreme Kai abilities, Turles had seen Old Kai possess planet-moving ability. But that didn't use one's own ability. Rather, it adjusted planetary positions through Supreme Kai Realm's influence mechanism on the universe.
Wanting to move planets—in the Dragon Ball world—Turles felt technological power was more reliable.
With his current battle power, he could easily destroy a planet. But wanting to move a planet was so difficult.
So Turles felt the Dragon Ball world's power system was somewhat singular.
However...
Wonder if reaching Angel level, even Grand Priest or Omni-King's level—could one push planets relying solely on one's own ability?
Sensing his body's recovery, Turles stood up, muttering unconsciously.
After sighing at his location briefly, Turles flew toward the Super Dragon Ball's upper sky.
Shortly, Turles's figure appeared in space. Looking back at the Three-Star Dragon Ball behind him, then at Red Stone not far away—after observing briefly, Turles completely relaxed.
Super Dragon Balls truly possessed a magical ability.
Logically speaking, when a same-sized planet suddenly appeared near a planet, whether that planet's rotation or revolution would be affected to some degree.
But the Three-Star Dragon Ball's appearance had absolutely no impact on Red Stone—as if both weren't in the same dimension.
Turles didn't understand the principles involved. But since Red Stone suffered no impact, Turles could confidently move other Super Dragon Balls near Red Stone.
Turles wanted moving Super Dragon Balls near Red Stone also thinking Red Stone's Saiyans could watch over them.
Though few in Universe 7 knew Super Dragon Balls' function—even those knowing Dragon Balls' functions lacked ability moving all Super Dragon Balls together like Turles.
As for whether Whis would stop Turles's actions—Turles had considerable confidence he wouldn't.
Because for Whis, this Angel—as long as it wasn't completely destroying Universe 7—he maintained a neutral stance. Regarding everything happening within the universe, he just observed quietly.
After confirming the Three-Star Dragon Ball truly didn't affect Red Stone, Turles again produced the Dragon Ball radar, checking the next Super Dragon Ball's location.
After determining the location, Turles activated Instant Transmission, teleporting toward the next Super Dragon Ball's position.
Just as Turles collected Super Dragon Balls throughout Universe 7, he didn't know his actions had already been observed by others.
---
God of Destruction Realm.
If Turles could see Whis's current actions, he'd definitely drop his jaw in shock.
Because Whis's current actions were truly too astounding.
Whis just lightly waved his staff. A planet no smaller than Red Stone began slowly moving. Then following Whis's will, it slowly moved to his designated position.
Then waving his staff again, the next planet also began slowly moving.
Shortly, the disordered planets around God of Destruction Realm began operating along predetermined trajectories.
After Whis finally adjusted the orbital trajectories of several planets revolving around God of Destruction Realm, he nodded satisfactorily. Then he leisurely walked toward a lake.
Reaching the lake's edge, Whis first subconsciously looked back at the shrine where Beerus slept. Seeing no signs of awakening whatsoever, he turned around, lightly tapping his staff.
Swish!
Following Whis's staff tap, a complete barbecue equipment set immediately appeared before him. Barbecue grill, skewers, seasonings—everything complete.
"Sigh! These barbecue seasonings are also running low!"
Looking at the seasoning box, Whis sighed. However, his hands didn't stop. Skillfully threading several pieces of fresh Kobus beef chunks onto a skewer, he placed them on the barbecue grill—already reaching proper temperature.
Kobus cattle were a bovine species from Planet Kobus. This cattle's meat was delicious. Previously when Beerus was awake, he'd raised them at God of Destruction Realm. Now, even on Planet Kobus, only a few remained.
However, currently Whis didn't care about this at all. He just stared at the near-depleted cumin in the box, somewhat melancholy.
"Whis-san, you're secretly eating alone again!"
At this moment, a goldfish—lower body soaking in a fishbowl, two fins propped on the bowl's edge—drove over in a transparent fishbowl.
Hearing the voice, Whis recovered from melancholy. Looking up once, he said unconcernedly:
"Oh, it's Oracle Fish! How come you woke up?"
After speaking, Whis lowered his head again. Carefully sprinkling a bit of seasoning in his hand on the already-glistening Kobus beef.
Looking at Whis's appearance—as if what he held wasn't extremely common Earth seasoning cumin, but rather some treasure.
Smelling the fragrance floating in the air, Oracle Fish—whether possessing a throat or not—a swallowing sound transmitted from his body.
"Mm, I was almost asleep already. But this fragrance was truly too aromatic. Gulp!"
After speaking, Oracle Fish again swallowed saliva. His body had nearly pressed against the barbecue grill.
Glancing at the fishbowl nearly being scorched by the grill's flames, Whis didn't remind Oracle Fish. Just slightly shifted sideways, moving the nearly-done beef closer to himself.
Seeing this, Oracle Fish unconsciously moved forward following Whis's hand. Completely unaware he'd already floated directly above the barbecue grill.
"Then you'll be disappointed. My seasonings are also running low. So this time, there's no portion for you!"
Whis's mouth corners slightly rose, but quickly vanished.
Hearing this, Oracle Fish wouldn't accept it. He directly shouted aloud: "Whis, you can't do this! I also want to eat!"
After speaking, Oracle Fish—disregarding the beef not being fully cooked—opened his mouth wide, biting downward.
But what kind of person was Whis? No matter how fast Oracle Fish's motion, it couldn't match his speed. Just slightly shifting his hand, he made Oracle Fish miss completely.
The missed Oracle Fish didn't lose heart. Immediately pouncing again.
Like this, while Whis controlled the temperature, he simultaneously teased Oracle Fish, making him "dance" on the barbecue grill.
"Hmm? Why do I feel somewhat hot? My head's also dizzy?"
Shortly, Oracle Fish's fishbowl was scorched hot. The water in the bowl also began bubbling. The oblivious Oracle Fish had already begun swaying unsteadily.
"Hehe!"
Seeing this, Whis could no longer hold back. Extending his hand, he lightly flicked Oracle Fish's forehead, flicking him flying from the barbecue grill.
Bowl included, Oracle Fish tumbled several circles before stopping.
Shaking his dizzy head, Oracle Fish finally recovered with difficulty. But next second, his eyes widened. Shouting once, he again charged toward Whis.
Before Whis swallowed the last piece of meat, Oracle Fish finally snatched it from Whis's mouth. Disregarding temperature, he swallowed it down.
After the commotion, Whis tidied up the barbecue grill. Elegantly sitting on the ground, he began heating tea water.
Looking at the still-sulking Oracle Fish, Whis asked with a smile: "What, still angry?"
"Hmph!"
Oracle Fish didn't respond. After snorting once, he directly turned around, giving Whis the back of his head.
"Heh!"
Seeing this, Whis said nothing more. Just focused on heating the tea in his hand. He knew—shortly, Oracle Fish would be unable to endure himself.
Sure enough, in less than one minute, Oracle Fish again floated before Whis, beginning to chatter away.
*Oh right, Whis-san! That human you favor—how is he? Since you introduced him to Supreme Kai, there seems to be no news. Do you truly want him becoming Supreme Kai?"
After speaking for long moments—seeing Whis still ignoring him—Oracle Fish could only find a topic.
Mentioning Turles, Whis finally reacted. He glanced at Oracle Fish, saying softly: "Naturally not. Having him go to Supreme Kai Realm was just letting Old Kai-sama teach him for some time."
After speaking, Whis produced his staff. Tapping the air once, Turles's figure projected into the air.
"Hmm?"
The moment he saw Turles's figure, Whis couldn't help releasing a surprised sound.
Oracle Fish also approached. Looking at Turles—continuously flashing on an orange celestial body in the projection—he immediately frowned:
"This is... I remember this is..."
Oracle Fish wanted saying something. But the words reached his mouth—he couldn't say them at all.
"It's the wishing orbs Lord Zalama left behind!"
Finally, Whis supplied the answer for Oracle Fish.
"That's right! The wishing orbs! These are things Lord Zalama left to help the entire universe!"
Hearing Whis's reminder, Oracle Fish finally remembered the Super Dragon Balls' origins. But quickly, he frowned again, somewhat puzzled:
"But how could this kid be at the wishing orb's location? Looking at it, that's still a Five-Star wishing orb. I remember these wishing orbs number seven—containing different quantities of five-pointed stars inside."
Hearing this, Whis also felt somewhat puzzled. Then he continued watching Turles in the projection.
"What's that kid doing? Wow! That kid disappeared!"
Just as questions surfaced in his mind, Oracle Fish shouted loudly. Whis also raised his eyebrows.
In the projection, Turles slowly crouched down. Then placing his hand on the Five-Star wishing orb's surface—next second, both his figure and the Five-Star wishing orb vanished from place.
Beckoning his staff, Whis brought his eyes before the crystal orb, carefully searching for Turles's figure.
Soon, Turles's figure appeared again. But simultaneously appearing in view were four massive orange celestial bodies. Among them, one was precisely the just-seen Five-Star wishing orb.
Three-Star wishing orb, Four-Star wishing orb, Six-Star wishing orb, Seven-Star wishing orb!
Oracle Fish—watching Turles's figure in the crystal orb—counted the four Super Dragon Balls behind him. After finishing, Oracle Fish looked toward Whis, saying:
"Already four! Universe 7's wishing orbs have all been collected together by that kid. Looks like he knows the wishing orbs' origins. But the remaining three wishing orbs are in Universe 6. Even collecting these is useless!"
"Could this kid want going to Universe 6 to steal the remaining three wishing orbs?"
As God of Destruction Realm's member, Oracle Fish knew far more than imagined. So naturally, he knew where the remaining three Super Dragon Balls were.
As Universe 7's apprentice Supreme Kai, under non-special circumstances, he couldn't visit other universes.
Plus, though Universe 6's Champa and Universe 7's God of Destruction Beerus were brothers, their relationship wasn't good. Once Turles—this Universe 7 apprentice Supreme Kai—secretly infiltrated Universe 6 while also stealing things belonging to Universe 6, he might ultimately be directly destroyed by God of Destruction Champa.
Thinking this, Oracle Fish looked toward Whis somewhat worriedly.
What Oracle Fish thought of, naturally Whis could also think of. But as an Angel, Whis had no standing interfering with universe development. Previously having Turles go to Supreme Kai Realm, early releasing Old Kai sealed by Beerus—was already irregular operation.
Even if Whis somewhat favored Turles, this time he also couldn't casually intervene. So this time, Whis just watched Turles in the projection without any motion.
Seeing Whis make no motion, Oracle Fish also thought of Whis's identity's special nature. Could only continue watching Turles in the projection. Could only hope Turles lacked methods reaching Universe 6.
After all, he was also Universe 7's member. Universe 7 producing an Fighter possibly reaching God of Destruction level—he also felt honored.
For a moment, God of Destruction Realm quieted down. Both just silently watched Turles's actions.
