Chapter 173: Return and Descendants
Looking at the three flickering Super Dragon Balls before him, Turles's eyes continuously flashed.
"Wonder if Bulma's invention actually works?"
Muttering this, Turles pulled out the capsule box from his chest, opened it, and began selecting from inside.
"This is the one!"
Soon, Turles found a red capsule among them, pinching it in his hand.
After examining it, Turles confirmed no problems existed. He gently applied force, tossing the capsule in his hand.
After leaving his grip, the capsule immediately expanded. Soon, a giant horn-shaped machine appeared before Turles.
After circling the machine twice, Turles found the switch and activated it.
As the machine's rumbling sounded, light points began gathering at the horn's front end.
Seeing this, Turles didn't dare be negligent. He hurriedly adjusted the machine, pointing the horn toward the Super Dragon Ball ahead.
As time passed, light points at the horn's mouth condensed more and more, until reaching critical point.
Poof!
Sound couldn't transmit through space, but Turles clearly felt a tremor. Then a massive beam shot from the light point toward the Super Dragon Ball ahead.
Then a miraculous scene occurred.
As the beam propagated, it soon contacted the Super Dragon Ball. Under this beam's illumination, the Super Dragon Ball began slowly shrinking.
"It actually works!"
Even with sufficient understanding of Bulma's inventive genius, when this scene occurred before him, Turles still couldn't help feeling amazed.
Correct. This was precisely the Object Shrinking Device that Bulma had invented based on some of Turles's wild ideas.
The inspiration naturally came from Turles's past life memories.
Recalling that blue fatty from memory, Turles inevitably felt some emotion.
However, compared to his remembered image, this shrinking device was far bulkier. This was already the result of Bulma's multiple improvements.
But the effect surpassed expectations. Because this machine could shrink planet-sized giant Dragon Balls.
Of course, shrinking planet-sized Super Dragon Balls to portable size required considerable time.
Fortunately, Turles had sufficient time. Moreover, he could use this period to organize his current strength.
Watching the machine operating normally, Turles relaxed. He directly sat cross-legged in the void.
Slowly closing his eyes, Turles's consciousness sank into his body's interior.
'Six-Star Dragon provided me with quite good direction!'
This thought flashed through Turles's mind. Then his consciousness continuously traversed within his body.
Previously, Turles had always wanted to fuse Super Saiyan God form into base state, thereby gaining transformation amplification even in base form.
This was also Angel Whis's consistent guidance.
Because in Whis's understanding, life's strength wasn't merely battle power increase through ki. More importantly, it involved life itself advancing.
Just like Super Saiyan God allowed Saiyan life level to truly ascend, rather than relying solely on Super Saiyan transformations to raise battle power.
So after transforming into Super Saiyan and completing full-power SSJ2 transformation, Turles no longer obsessed over realms beyond Super Saiyan 2.
Unlike Goku, who'd even created Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
Indeed, SSJ3 provided tremendous battle power amplification again, enabling Goku to battle Majin Buu without disadvantage.
But since the correct answer existed, Turles naturally wouldn't stubbornly pursue SSJ3 transformation. Instead, he focused on base power enhancement.
Fusing Super Saiyan God realm into base state was the path Turles currently walked. Moreover, he'd already advanced considerably. Previously, Turles had maintained only red eyes from SSG transformation while restoring black hair as proof.
But he could only reach this step. Afterward, no matter how Turles tried, he could only achieve that much.
However, during Six-Star Dragon's elimination process, he'd received tremendous inspiration.
"If I permanently retain Super Saiyan God post-transformation information within my body, regardless of transformation state, then base or not base doesn't matter!"
Holding this idea, Turles began searching within his body, wanting to completely analyze his body's SSG post-transformation information.
Fortunately, Turles could already maintain Super Saiyan God transformation long-term. Divine aura had already infused most of his body. Searching wasn't difficult.
Within minutes, Turles had completely recorded this information.
Next came replacing genetic information within his body. This step was most difficult.
Because even as creator-like Supreme Kais, fully understanding genetic information of created beings remained difficult.
As the warrior race Saiyans, genetic information was even more complex. Moreover, Turles knew that as Saiyan ancestors, Ancient Saiyans made Saiyan bloodline even more extraordinary.
So this was destined to be a long-term project.
However, if Turles truly reached that step, he could not only completely evolve his body but also further explore Ancient Saiyan bloodline mysteries.
He still remembered when initially exploring Broly's bloodline, that giant ape phantom appearing in his mental world.
Like this, Turles waited for Super Dragon Balls to shrink while continuously exploring his body's mysteries.
One month passed in a flash.
Three Super Dragon Balls had finally shrunk from giant planet size to palm size.
Click!
After shutting off the Object Shrinking Device, Turles gathered the three Super Dragon Balls before him.
Looking at the palm-sized, continuously flickering Super Dragon Balls, Turles again praised Bulma's inventive genius internally.
Just one idea he wasn't sure could work had actually been realized. Truly worthy of Dragon Ball world's top inventor.
With admiration for Bulma, Turles collected the three Dragon Balls. After surveying surroundings, he activated Instant Transmission, leaving this place where he'd stayed one month.
Just as Turles left Universe 6 with three Super Dragon Balls, Vados in Destroyer Realm seemed to sense something, looking toward Turles's direction.
However, Turles had already left. The Super Dragon Balls also showed no traces. After watching a while, Vados withdrew her gaze.
Looking at Champa rolling and acting shamelessly before her, wanting to secretly eat snacks, Vados felt tremendously troubled.
"Lord Champa, look how much you've gained this period. Continuing like this, you probably won't even see your own toes!"
Universe 7!
Red Rock Star!
After one year's absence, Turles finally returned to this planet belonging to him.
Upon returning, Turles headed straight for Red Rock Star's largest palace.
That was Turles's residence. Red Rock Star Saiyans had built this dwelling for him.
In a room, Turles slowly placed three Super Dragon Balls on a tray. Currently on the tray, four identically-sized Super Dragon Balls already existed.
"Finally collected them all!"
Looking at the seven Dragon Balls shining brighter now that all seven had gathered, Turles couldn't help sighing deeply.
What wish to make to Dragon God Zalama, Turles couldn't yet determine. But as long as Super Dragon Balls remained in his hands, Turles possessed another trump card.
At minimum, he needn't worry about Zamasu, that future Black Goku.
After one final glance at the Super Dragon Balls, Turles covered them with red silk, then left the room.
Just after exiting, Turles encountered Bulma.
Currently, Bulma still wore that white lab coat, looking intellectual. But her hand supported her lower back, her belly slightly protruding.
"Why did you go to the lab again? Don't you know you're already pregnant?"
Turles quickly took two steps, coming beside Bulma, carefully supporting her arm while speaking reproachfully.
Yes, through Turles's efforts, Bulma had finally become pregnant. In this world, Turles would finally have descendants.
Regarding Turles's reproach, Bulma paid no attention. Instead, she straightened her belly, looking quite smug: "Don't underestimate me. I have over 200 battle power!"
"Careful! Be careful!"
Seeing Bulma make such large movements, Turles carefully supported Bulma's belly with one hand while continuously soothing her.
"Yes, yes, you're not ordinary. Happy now?"
Bulma felt quite satisfied with Turles's attitude. The smile at her mouth corners never stopped.
However, Bulma wasn't an unreasonable person. Though enjoying Turles's care, she knew when to stop. After glancing at the room behind Turles, having already guessed something, her eyes immediately brightened: "Turles, have you collected all the Super Dragon Balls?"
Rolling his eyes at Bulma, Turles pushed the room door open again, supporting Bulma as they walked inside.
Coming before the Dragon Ball tray, Turles lifted the silk cloth, letting the seven miniature Super Dragon Balls appear before them.
"So beautiful!"
Watching the seven Dragon Balls flickering with golden radiance, Bulma's eyes immediately brightened.
Someone once said that for women and dragons, shining treasures were absolutely irresistible. Even Bulma was no exception. Super Dragon Balls perfectly fit this characteristic.
Regarding this, what could Turles say? He casually picked up one Dragon Ball, placing it in Bulma's hand.
Bulma wasn't polite. Taking the Dragon Ball, she continuously caressed it, repeatedly bringing it close to examine carefully, not concealing her fondness for the Dragon Ball.
Seeing Bulma reluctant to put down the Dragon Ball for ages, Turles felt somewhat jealous.
"Is it that serious? It's not like you haven't seen Dragon Balls before."
"Hmph!"
To Turles's words, Bulma turned a deaf ear, only giving him an eye roll.
Like this, accompanying Bulma, Turles stayed in this room for ages before finally leaving with a reluctant Bulma.
Following this, Turles's time suddenly became quite leisurely. Either accompanying Bulma through prenatal care or staying in the gravity training room, analyzing genetic information within his body.
Until time reached half a year later.
"AHH!"
Hearing the screams transmitting from the delivery room, Turles restlessly paced back and forth outside, occasionally glancing toward the delivery room.
"How can it take so long?" Once again approaching the delivery room, hearing Bulma's screams, Turles could no longer hide his worry.
Nearby Raditz and Nappa looked at the rarely-so-distraught Turles, somewhat at a loss.
Please forgive these pure-blooded Saiyans. They found understanding Turles's current mentality quite difficult.
However, they also knew Turles's mood was certainly bad now. So they simply stayed quietly aside, not daring to disturb him.
"Turles, don't worry. Inside are Red Rock Star's most professional medical personnel. Bulma will definitely be fine!"
At this moment, Broly spoke. His steady voice relaxed Turles considerably.
Speaking of which, during Turles's absence from Red Rock Star, Broly had always managed the planet. Through such long training, current Broly no longer showed that initial naive appearance.
Of course, this certainly involved Paragus's help.
However, regarding his friend Turles, Broly's feelings hadn't changed at all.
With Broly's comfort, Turles finally quieted down. He glanced at Broly, took a deep breath, and sat down on a nearby chair.
Fortunately, facts matched Broly's words. Inside the delivery room was Red Rock Star's most professional medical team.
After two hours of torment, hearing one clear, loud cry, the child was finally born.
Hearing the commotion, Turles could no longer care about anything else. He directly rushed into the delivery room.
But upon entering, Turles was dumbfounded.
"This is?"
Looking at the naked infant floating in midair, Turles couldn't help looking toward Bulma, who'd already drunk Spirit Tree Fruit juice and recovered most of her energy.
Instead, Bulma appeared quite calm. After glancing at Turles, she spoke irritably: "What, scared by your own son?"
Having spoken, Bulma put down her glass, eyes showing slight curiosity as she looked at their son in midair.
Hearing this, Turles also recovered. He walked beside Bulma, examining their shared creation together with his wife.
Through this examination, Turles discovered abnormalities.
Though Turles hadn't seen other Saiyan infants at birth, he could confirm other Saiyans definitely weren't like his son.
"Super! Saiyan!"
Looking at his son's erect golden hair and emerald eyes, Turles couldn't help speaking word by word in a low voice.
Though the aura wasn't very strong, only around one hundred thousand, that transformation form familiar to all Saiyans couldn't be faked.
In other words, his son was a natural-born Super Saiyan!
