Takumi blinked, then laughed.
"God?"
"That's the most common thing in our world."
"I'm way above that."
He was joking, but serious.
In his world, gods were treated like commodities.
He wasn't one of them.
Bulma looked dazed.
More powerful than a god?
For a while, she doubted everything.
But Takumi didn't seem to be lying.
So were these Dragon Balls really just trash to him?
Then why give them to her?
"Don't think too much."
"Treat it as a gift."
Seeing her suspicion, Takumi sighed inwardly.
This girl was just too cautious.
He didn't even know how to complain.
Was she worried there was a hidden cost?
He almost wanted to open her head to see how it worked!
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Still suspicious!
Takumi's mouth twitched.
"If you don't want it, give it back!!"
He couldn't take it anymore.
Her endless questions were tiring!
When he said that, Bulma finally accepted.
"I want it!!"
She excitedly picked up the Dragon Balls.
Women really were difficult.
If you're too nice, they refuse.
The moment you get annoyed, they agree.
Ridiculous!
Shaking his head, Takumi stayed silent.
"Go on, make a wish."
Bulma hesitated.
"Now I don't know what to wish for."
She used to want a Prince Charming.
But then Takumi showed up.
Handsome and mysteriouswho needed Prince Charming?
So... maybe a different wish?
But what?
She already had more money than she could spend.
So maybe not that either.
For a moment, she was frustrated.
Seeing this, Takumi chuckled.
"There aren't many wishes Shenron can grant."
"Anything he can do, my world can do better."
"You don't lack money or power."
"Immortality? Eternal youth?"
"Think carefully."
"If you come to my world, with your talents, you'll handle things easily."
Takumi offered a reminder.
Bulma was intrigued.
"Your world?"
What did that mean?
"This world is now connected to mine."
"I'm building a gatecome and go freely."
Takumi smiled as he explained.
Bulma was stunned.
"You can really go to another world??"
She was fascinated.
What kind of place was it?
"Of course."
"Here's some basic info."
"Also, this is your terminal device."
He transferred a ball of information into her mind.
As she processed it, her eyes widened.
"What an incredible world!!"
"I'm going!!"
She made up her mind.
Takumi's world was too enticing.
Everything about it called to her.
She was going to the Suye world!
And Takumi was righthe could fulfill any wish.
Thinking of that, she handed the Dragon Balls to Goku.
"Here! You make a wish!!"
...
Goku looked confused.
Huh?
Didn't Bulma want to make a wish?
Now she was giving it to him?
Takumi watched silently.
"I'm helping him."
"Just running a test."
Takumi's smile widened.
Then, he summoned Shenron.
Bulma looked puzzled.
What was he planning?
The skies changed.
A cyan dragon soared above.
"Speak your wish!"
Even Shenron was startled by Takumi's presence.
This guy was terrifying just standing there.
He had a wish?
Was this serious?
"Awaken his latent potential."
Takumi pointed at Goku.
Everyone blinked.
Latent potential?
What was that?
Bulma was just as curious.
Shenron looked at Son Goku and said weakly:
"I can't fully awaken it..."
What a shame.
Shenron was stunned by Goku's hidden power.
It was too much for him to unlock.
Takumi sighed.
"Useless."
Shenron broke into a sweat.
He couldn't help itit was beyond his limits.
"Then do your best."
Takumi didn't push.
If Shenron couldn't do it fully, then just as much as possible.
This way, Takumi could observe and study.
Later, he'd help Goku himself.
Shenron nodded hastily.
His eyes glowed red.
A beam of light fell on Goku, awakening his hidden power.
Goku's aura surged wildly.
The change stunned him!
Ch. 713 Is That the Person I Know?
Goku only felt that his strength had become so strongunbelievably strong!
Subconsciously, he erupted with energy.
A powerful current burst out from him.
His hair stood on end.
Though it hadn't turned yellow yet.
This change made Goku incredibly excited.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Takumi, watching the scene, was very satisfied.
At the same time, he also learned how to unlock latent potential using Shenron.
If needed, Takumi could help Goku unlock more.
But for now, Goku needed time to digest the power he'd already received.
If he didn't grasp it properly, it could cause major problems.
After completing its task, Shenron vanished.
Its form disappeared, and the Dragon Balls turned to stone, preparing to scatter across the world.
But Takumi didn't allow that.
Just as they were about to disperse, Takumi intercepted them.
Then he stored them away in his collection.
They would stay with him for now.
"Well, that's taken care of."
"Next, I'll take you to West City."
"I'm placing the access door there."
Without waiting for agreement, Takumi teleported the group.
In a flash, they appeared in West City, circa Age 747at Bulma's parents' home.
Seeing the surroundings, Bulma was stunned.
"We arrived instantly? Seriously?"
She was completely shocked.
That much power...
So this is the power of his world?
Thinking about it, Bulma grew excited.
If she had that power, she could travel anywhere!
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
She was already imagining her future strength.
Takumi began constructing the portal gate.
A massive gate appeared instantly.
Bulma gasped.
So cool!
After building the gate, Takumi led them into his world.
He had placed the portal on a dedicated planet that connected to the Dragon Ball world.
He also created an entry to the bordering dimension.
That way, the strong ones could go straight there.
Those hot-headed powerhouses wouldn't care to ask questions.
So, a separate gate made sense.
It was connected to a special combat zone.
Anyone entering would arrive directly in the restraint field.
If they wanted to fight, they could go all out.
Just not in Takumi's main world.
He knew too well that Dragon Ball had plenty of restless fighters.
Once everything was set up, Takumi brought Bulma and Goku back to Earth.
Straight to Mebius's lab!
Seeing the place, Bulma was confused.
"A lab?"
What was the point of coming here?
"Yeah."
"Goku, I need your cooperation."
"The bloodline in your body is incredible."
"I want to study it."
Takumi explained his intention.
Goku blinked.
"What do you want me to do?"
He was just a kid, but Takumi had helped him grow stronger, so of course, he would help.
"It's simple."
"Just a bit of blood."
"Bulma, feel free to look around. My lab's top-notch."
With that, Takumi turned to Bulma.
Bulma nodded but remained calm.
"Let me see how you test Goku first."
After all, she brought Goku hereshe needed to look after him.
Takumi didn't argue.
Fair enough.
He understood her concerns.
Worried he'd harm Goku.
So, Takumi led them into Mebius's lab.
Bulma's eyes sparkled at the high-tech setup.
This place was advanced, just like Takumi said.
Moments later, a woman emerged who looked like a mad scientist.
Bulma thought she didn't look trustworthy.
"Son Goku?"
"Perfect timing."
"Let me run some tests."
Mebius looked lively.
This was a Saiyan.
She definitely wanted to study him.
"Go easy, alright?"
Takumi didn't say much.
He handed Goku over directly.
Mebius pouted.
"I know."
As if he had to say that?
Did he think she was some evil scientist?
She, Mebius, had turned over a new leaf!
She also took a glance at Bulma.
This little genius from the Dragon Ball world!
She hadn't grown up yet but could build a time machine.
That fascinated Mebius.
She nodded at Bulma and said to Goku:
"Come with me."
She turned and led him into the lab.
After they left, Bulma muttered:
"That woman doesn't seem trustworthy."
"Will Goku be alright?"
She couldn't help but worry.
What if something happened?
Hearing this, Takumi chuckled.
"She's a bad girl."
"But reliable."
"She's our top biologist. A pro at studying Goku's bloodline."
"Nothing to worry about."
Bulma frowned.
"You keep mentioning Goku's bloodline."
"What is it?"
She was curious.
"Saiyan."
"A warrior race from space."
"Incredible potential."
"Goku isn't from Earthhe's from another planet."
Takumi laid out the facts.
Bulma was speechless.
"An alien??"
That little guy was from space?
This had to be a joke.
"Yup."
"Aliens."
"In fact, there are lots of aliens in your world."
"Even Earth's guardian deity is an alien."
Takumi chuckled again.
Aliens acting as Earth's gods.
Pretty wild.
Bulma was flabbergasted.
Was this for real?
Earth was full of aliens?
"Use the terminal and search Dragon Ball data."
Seeing her confusion, Takumi urged her to look it up herself.
She'd understand once she read it.
This wasn't a joke.
Bulma immediately started checking the info.
Ch. 714 Aha: Pay and Ill Take It!
Bulma began searching for information about Dragon Ball.
She was shocked by what she found.
Clicking into the data, she started reading through the contents.
There were even anime entries listed.
However, the anime series were too long, so she skipped them and read the summarized introductions instead.
There was a lot of information, and she began to read quickly.
Especially when it came to her own profileshe paid close attention.
She was stunned to learn that she would invent a time machine in the future.
And that Earth had been invaded by Saiyans and even destroyed multiple times?
So many disasters?
It was far too dangerous!
She's movingdefinitely moving!
She decided right away to move to this world with her parents.
Destroyed, then restored, then destroyed again?
She's not new to dramatic plot twists!
Resolving to continue, she kept reading.
Takumi didn't disturb her and instead went into the lab to watch Mebius draw Goku's blood.
Since the Dragon Ball world had merged, many powerful figures began entering Takumi's world.
Herta:
[Takumi, where is Bulma??]
Upon learning about these developments, Herta asked in the group chat.
Bulma had finally arrived.
She needed to meet her and have a good exchange.
Takumi:
[She's with Mebius.]
[Come find her yourself.]
[She's outside, reading about the Dragon Ball world.]
Seeing Herta's urgency, Takumi replied with Bulma's location.
Once she knew where, Herta immediately set off.
Currently, Herta was still observing from the void world.
The space station passage led directly to Mebius' lab.
Not long after, Herta arrived.
She soon spotted Bulma.
Bulma, hearing the sound, noticed the puppet.
"Robot?"
Looking at the delicate doll, Bulma was surprised.
If not for the visible joints in its limbs, she would've thought it was a real person.
"Hello!"
"My name is Herta!"
Herta went straight up to greet Bulma.
"Hello!"
Bulma was surprised, but responded politely.
As they chatted, Bulma noticed Herta kept steering the conversation into academic territory.
Some of the questions were beyond Bulma's current level.
She was confused.
What was going on?
"Are you interested in studying at the Genius Society?"
"We have some of the best scientists and the most advanced knowledge in the universe."
After a short introduction, Herta got to the point.
She invited Bulma to join the Genius Society.
Now the Genius Society functioned as a whole intellectual community.
[Knowledge]
The people in it had all stepped into the path of the Erudition.
They were extremely formidable.
Other Aeons had also built similar communities.
The times were changing!
These communities were becoming more popular.
Why? Because there were just more fun people around.
As long as you're interesting, you're welcome.
Ahha even sold access spots to the path of destiny.
It was all wild fun.
Faced with Herta's invitation, Bulma was intrigued.
"The Genius Society?"
She searched it on her terminal.
The more she learned, the more surprised she was.
The members were all top-tier geniuses.
Only super geniuses qualified to join.
There were strict requirements.
After reading through the introduction, Bulma's eyes sparkled.
This place was amazing.
"I'm in!!"
Hesitating would be an insult to herself.
She had always believed she was a genius!
"Great!"
Seeing her goal achieved, Herta beamed.
"Come with me."
"I'll give you a key to the Genius Society's headquarters."
With that, Herta pulled Bulma outside.
Then they returned to the space station through a teleport tunnel.
As for GokuBulma had completely forgotten about him.
After reading the Dragon Ball data, she understood just how strong he would become.
It was no wonder Takumi wanted to study him.
Even she wanted to research Goku's physiology.
So Goku would be fine.
She followed Herta to the Genius Society.
There, she met other members.
Herta introduced her to the layout and purpose of the place.
An entire world?
One that had just rebooted?
These people were observing the evolution of the universe.
And the development of civilizations.
"Actually, there are a lot of ruined worlds like this," said Herta.
"If you're interested, you could even get one to experiment with."
"Ruan Mei has one."
"Rebooting a collapsed world to rebuild a new one."
Bulma began sweating.
"No, no!!"
She wasn't ready for something that high-level.
Let's pass on that.
Herta didn't press the issue.
Since she wasn't ready, that was fine.
She continued guiding Bulma around, introducing her to the members.
She also planned to bring Bulma to the Broken Steel platform to formally step into the path of the Erudition.
It was essential.
