Chapter 125: Universe 6
"Is this Universe 6? It doesn't seem any different from our universe!"
After watching the planets outside the spaceship briefly, Bulma truly couldn't see any difference from Universe 7. If not for the spaceship's displayed "traversal successful" words confirming it, Bulma would think they were still in Universe 7.
Hearing this, Turles felt amused.
"What did you expect Universe 6 to be like? Not mentioning Universe 6 and Universe 7 are twin universes—both extremely similar—even visiting other universes, planets are more or less the same. Did you really think there'd be square-shaped planets?"
Smack!
Hearing Turles say this, Bulma slapped her forehead, somewhat annoyed.
"Right! I'm so confused!"
"Hehe!"
Seeing both's performance, Broly beside them couldn't help laughing aloud.
"Hmm?"
But quickly, Broly's smile froze on his face. Because Turles and Bulma had already turned their heads, using identically expressionless faces to stare at him.
"Hehe... hehe..."
Under both's gaze, Broly could only produce an awkward yet polite smile.
After a brief interlude, the three recovered their seriousness. Surrounding the spaceship's main control room, they together watched the detector's displayed locations of Universe 6's powerful fighters.
Bulma lightly tapped one light dot. Other dots immediately vanished. The tapped dot displayed extensive information:
Name: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Energy Intensity: 150 million
Distance: 1,372 light years
"This is an energy detector I urgently created before departure. Only battle power reaching 100 million or above displays. As for the maximum it can detect—I still don't know!"
Bulma always gave him surprises unexpectedly. Though Turles could sense powerful fighter auras existing in the universe, his aura sensing had a disadvantage—if life forms could control their auras, he had no way accurately judging their true strength.
Bulma's energy detector solved Turles's disadvantage—it directly detected energy within life forms.
Actually, hiding auras meant concealing a special wave emitted by one's internal energy. Someone like Turles perfectly hiding auras adjusted this wave to perfectly match external environments. In others' perception, Turles's location was just empty space.
But hiding auras didn't represent one's own energy disappearing. So Bulma—through this principle, combined with some knowledge from Turles at Supreme Kai Realm—created this detector directly detecting life energy.
Broly—watching information displayed on screen—somewhat curiously extended his hand, tapping one section. Asking Bulma:
"Bulma, is this energy intensity the same standard as battle power?"
150 million energy intensity—if truly the same standard as battle power, Universe 6's powerful fighter numbers far exceeded Universe 7's.
Bulma understood Broly's meaning. But surprising both Turles and Broly—currently, Bulma's expression was abnormally serious. Staring at that 150 million energy intensity on screen, she said gravely:
"Energy intensity doesn't represent true battle power values."
"Like you, Broly—the detector displays only 70 million energy intensity. Turles's energy intensity is 130 million. But the battle power you two can exert far exceeds these values."
Hearing Bulma say this, both Turles and Broly understood. They also knew why Bulma appeared so serious.
Energy intensity only represented life forms' basic normal-state battle power. But if life forms possessed transformation abilities like Saiyans, their battle power would greatly improve.
But Broly quickly discovered loopholes.
"But that's wrong. My normal-state battle power is 70 million—matching what's displayed here. Then why is Turles's energy intensity at 130 million? I remember Turles's normal-state battle power is just over 10 million."
Hearing Broly ask this, Bulma also felt somewhat puzzled. But she knew her detector had no problems. Could only place her gaze on Turles.
Watching doubt in both's eyes, Turles inwardly had a guess. He adjusted the detector to the initial interface. Looking at the densely-packed light dots above, he asked Bulma:
"Bulma, can you adjust upward this detector's detection conditions?"
"Hmm? " Bulma somewhat didn't understand.
"I mean—adjust this minimum detection value upward. Only display portions where energy intensity exceeds 1 billion.'
Though not understanding Turles's idea, Bulma still nodded. Then operating the detector briefly, she finally pressed the confirm key.
The moment the confirm key pressed, light dots displayed on screen immediately vanished by more than half. Only a few scattered dots remained.
Made sense—even if Universe 6, under Champa—this God of Destruction trained reasonably dutifully by Vados—had universe powerful fighter numbers somewhat exceeding Universe 7's, powerful fighters with 1 billion energy intensity couldn't possibly be too numerous.
Looking at the remaining light dots, Turles checked them one by one.
Soon, when he tapped the third light dot, Turles—seeing information above—confirmed his guess.
Seeing Turles's enlightened expression, Bulma and Broly quickly approached, checking the information above:
Name: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Energy Intensity: Unknown
Distance: Unknown
Bulma—first time seeing energy intensity display unknown—immediately patted the detector. But the information above showed no changes whatsoever.
"Turles, this is?"
"God of Destruction. Champa or Angel Vados. I lean more toward Champa!"
Knowing what Bulma was puzzled about, Turles directly stated his guess.
Bulma's detector was truly powerful. Not only could it detect energy intensity after Turles hid his aura—it could even detect his internal divine power intensity.
The reason the detector displayed Turles's energy intensity at 130 million was because it calculated his internal divine power too.
Someone like God of Destruction Champa—internal divine power reserves far exceeded Turles, this apprentice Supreme Kai's divine power. Bulma previously also lacked a true God of Destruction as detection standard. This created the unknown display situation.
Suddenly, Turles thought of something. He opened the remaining light dots one by one. Sure enough—only one showed all unknowns. Angel Vados—whom Turles thought of—didn't display at all.
Hearing Turles's explanation, both Bulma and Broly completely understood. Broly—thinking of what Turles told them about God of Destruction's divine techniques before departure—felt somewhat emotional:
"Gods of Destruction truly aren't human!"
"Ah?"
Hearing Broly's sigh, Turles's expression appeared somewhat strange. His gaze looked at him somewhat oddly.
Speaking of not being human—seemed this Legendary Super Saiyan was even less human-like.
"What's wrong?"
Broly—watched uncomfortably by Turles's gaze—felt somewhat puzzled.
"Uh, nothing!"
Turles recovered. Brushing it off with one sentence, he glossed over this topic.
Broly scratched his head. Intuition told him Turles's just-displayed performance related to him. Definitely thought of something bad.
Naturally, Turles didn't know Broly's thoughts. He looked at those densely-packed light dots on the detector, contemplating next actions.
Originally, Turles came to Universe 6 this time just to collect the remaining three Super Dragon Balls. Afterward, immediately returning to Universe 7.
But after seeing Universe 6's powerful fighters, he had new ideas.
As Saiyans, combat-loving was their nature. Even though Turles continuously maintained rationality, influences from deep within bloodline couldn't be completely eliminated. So after knowing Universe 6 had so many powerful fighters, he couldn't help feeling somewhat itchy.
But currently, the three of them still belonged to "illegal immigrants." In Universe 6, they lacked "legal" status. Once causing too much commotion, inevitably attracting God of Destruction Champa or Vados's attention.
After contemplating briefly, he finally thought of an idea. Seeing both continuously staring at himself, Turles grinned.
" I have a solution!"

Supreme Kai Realm.
Supreme Kai Fuwa lazily reclined on a rocking chair. A bubble hanging from his nose—expanding and contracting with his breathing.
Swish!
Suddenly, Turles's three figures appeared at Supreme Kai Realm.
"Hmm?"
The moment Turles's three appeared, the originally sleeping Fuwa immediately awakened. His lazy expression abruptly vanished. Eyes sharp, he stared at the suddenly-appeared three.
Turles and Broly were somewhat better. But Bulma's strength was too weak. Directly frightened by Fuwa's powerful aura, she continuously retreated.
Fortunately, Fuwa immediately recognized Turles. Timely withdrawing his aura.
"Turles-san, how come you're here?"
Turles didn't acknowledge Fuwa. Rather, he looked at Bulma somewhat apologetically, blaming himself.
" Sorry, Bulma. I frightened you."
Regarding Turles's words, Bulma acted as if she hadn't heard. Just her eyes stared blankly forward.
Fuwa came before the three. Seeing Turles's attitude toward Bulma, he also knew he'd seemingly accidentally injured someone. Immediately also apologizing to Bulma: Sorry. I frightened you!
Bulma still felt somewhat shaken. Seeing this, Turles gently placed his hand on her face. After brief moments, the panic on Bulma's face vanished. She also fell into slumber.
After doing this, Turles turned toward Fuwa. Seeing guilt on his face, the trace of dissatisfaction rising in his heart also vanished. He consoled.
"Fuwa-sama, this has nothing to do with you. This time, I was somewhat presumptuous!"
Turles knew—Bulma being frightened had absolutely no relation to Fuwa. All of this was because he rashly teleported directly before Fuwa.
Turles also knew Fuwa had trained Ultra Instinct. He'd already experienced this last time battling Fuwa.
Fuwa was also stimulated by Turles's sudden appearance. Instinctively beginning self-defense. This released aura, frightening Bulma.
With Turles's comfort, Fuwa finally relaxed somewhat. However, he immediately noticed Turles's just-used methods. Looking at him somewhat surprised.
This relaxed mental power application wasn't common. At minimum, he couldn't do it. Yet Turles did. This made Fuwa gain another layer of understanding toward Turles, this Universe 7 apprentice Supreme Kai.
However, now wasn't the time thinking about this. After seeing Bulma fall asleep, Fuwa quickly led Turles to a room, letting Bulma rest well.
After Fuwa left, Turles gently stroked Bulma's face. Eyes full of self-blame, watching her sleeping appearance.
"Bulma, I'm sorry!"
This time truly was his carelessness. This frightened Bulma. Having no choice, Turles could only use mental sealing techniques, letting Bulma sleep first.
This also made Turles somewhat vigilant. He'd still gotten somewhat overconfident.
Instant Transmission wasn't foolproof. This time being at Supreme Kai Realm was fortunate. Fuwa's battle power didn't exceed his much. Moreover, his personality was relatively good.
But if he remained this unrestrained—next time wouldn't be so fortunate.
Not mentioning others—if next time he teleported before God of Destruction, based on Gods of Destruction's methods—then he'd directly face God of Destruction's destruction energy.
After reflecting on his behavior, Turles again glanced at Bulma. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, he rose and left the room.

"Turles-san, you're saying you and this clansman want finding powerful fighters in our universe for sparring?"
After pouring Turles tea, Fuwa again confirmed with Turles.
"Yes, Fuwa-sama! " Turles took the teacup from Fuwa's hand, placing it on the stone table. Again explaining his purpose.
"We're both Saiyans. Battle is our race's fastest route improving battle power."
"But you also understood our universe's situation at the last Supreme Kai meeting. I'm also not very familiar with other universes' Supreme Kais."
"I thought—Universe 6 and Universe 7 as twin universes, but Universe 6's ranking exceeds Universe 7's. So I came finding you, also wanting to learn your Universe 6 management experience."
"You also know—I just recently promoted to apprentice Supreme Kai position. So I also want quickly producing some achievements."
Naturally, Turles wouldn't immediately say he came finding Super Dragon Balls. So he spoke to Fuwa this way.
Moreover, if Universe 6 truly had experience worth his reference, naturally Turles wouldn't be polite. So calculated seriously, it wasn't deceiving Fuwa either.
"Mm."
After hearing Turles's reason, Fuwa nodded. Seemingly already believing Turles's explanation.
But next, Fuwa raised another question.
"Turles-san, you said you and this clansman originated from Saiyans, correct?"
"Yes." Hearing this question, Turles felt somewhat confused.
Clap!
Fuwa clapped his hands. Somewhat happily suggesting to Turles.
"Then perfect! Our Universe 6 also has Saiyans existing. Why don't you two first visit Planet Sadala? That's the Saiyan ancestral planet. It can also satisfy your needs!"
After speaking, Fuwa smiled at Turles.
Hearing this, Turles seemingly understood this fatty's idea. After thinking, Turles agreed.
