Dr. Norimaki pointed at the hole in the roof and cursed for a while, his frustration quickly dissipating.
Slap—he lit a cigarette, feeling much better.
"Really, messing around while others are trying to think seriously..." Dr. Norimaki puffed out some smoke and tried to continue the train of thought he had been interrupted from due to his constipation. But suddenly, he froze.
"...How is this so simple?"
Dr. Norimaki felt his mind become incredibly sharp—oh no, it wasn't that it wasn't sharp before, it was just that now it was even smarter!
This simple problem has been troubling me for so long?!
He must have been constipated for too long, causing his brain to stiffen. Now, it finally clicked!
I'm such an idiot!
Dr. Norimaki was overjoyed, and his mind exploded with one creative idea after another, like fireworks on a festival.
"If I do this, and then that... finally... I can make a super amazing robot!"
And it could have nearly human-like intelligence!
Dr. Norimaki proudly said, "No, I'm a genius. I knew I was a genius~~ But I still need one core material, hmm... let me think..."
The older youth rummaged around in the bathroom for a while, soon finding a small gem-like part among the scattered objects on the floor.
"Isn't this a coincidence?" the older youth happily picked up the part. "With my genius eye, this is definitely the perfect material! Awesome~!"
Not only Dr. Norimaki...
At the very moment the mechanical dragon eye part hit Earth—
An invisible wave spread out from the point of contact with Earth's material, instantly sweeping across the entire planet.
This peculiar part, thrown by the Dragon God, undoubtedly brought a different change to the multiverse.
It was just like the things Dragon God had done countless years ago.
He sent several highly talented members of his race to the multiverse, hoping they would thrive within it.
Would his old friend, The All God, ever return?
The Dragon God didn't know.
But what he did know was that if he ignored the multiverse, it would only destroy itself.
Later, the Dragon God created the Super Dragon Balls and placed them in the multiverse.
He had also sent blessings to certain pure souls within the multiverse...
The only ones who might bring The All God back could be the lives born within the multiverse.
At least, that was the Dragon God's belief... But he was confident this was also the belief of his remaining old friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have connected the Celestial Realm with the multiverse, using the authority of the Celestial Realm and the Yin-Yang Order to stabilize the multiverse. She even sent her direct descendants to cultivate special talents in the multiverse... Talents so special that they might even grasp a hint of the brilliance of The All God.
The mechanical dragon eye part "accidentally" fell to Earth, bringing some changes to things and lives on the planet... And the luckiest being in this accident, without a doubt, was Dr. Norimaki, the older youth in Penguin Village, and... Earth itself. After being swept by the invisible wave, the very structure of Earth seemed to be changing.
Meanwhile, at the far end of the Seventh Universe.
The evil sorcerer suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked toward a direction in the deep universe, murmuring, "Strange, I think I just sensed the presence of the Egg of Buu..."
---
Yamiru quietly listened to Dragon God's reflections.
This was probably one of the oldest stories in the Dragon Ball world, so ancient that... only a supreme being like the Dragon God could have experienced it.
"...You must be curious as to why I brought you here. It's actually very simple, because you're interesting."
Dragon God sighed lightly. "The All God of the past was also a very interesting person. Of the three of us, he chose to be the youth, and indeed, like a youth, he always had a lively mind. 'How about we each create a world, make some interesting lives, and then compare whose world is the best?' The All God once had this sudden idea. And today, I encounter another fool who wants to create a world, and what's even more interesting is that this person, with the same whimsical idea, is someone as weak as you..."
There's no need to emphasize "so weak"... Yamiru thought silently and then asked, "'We three'? You, The All God, and who else...?"
"It's me."
Just as Yamiru asked, Dragon God hadn't answered yet when suddenly a voice sounded from the air beside them.
To Yamiru's ears, the voice was solemn and sacred, distant and difficult to pinpoint, making it impossible to tell what state the speaker was in. But to Dragon God, the voice sounded like a long-winded, grumbling old woman...
The Dragon God and Yamiru turned to look at the air beside them, where a brilliant light person quickly materialized.
"I say, are you using the term 'All God as a key phrase?" Dragon God said, speechless. "Why do you always pop up whenever we mention this? Are you so bored in the Celestial Realm?"
Yamiru, on the other hand, stared blankly at the light person.
"..."
The light figure could clearly feel that she glanced at Yamiru, then slowly extended three pairs of luminous wings from her back. Her face remained unclear, but her voice resonated solely in Dragon God's heart, "You dare to lose face in front of a mortal? Fine, old man, I'll remember this!" Her voice was filled with biting resentment.
"What face? I think it's your brain that's been suffocating in the Celestial Realm. I told you long ago that the Heaven you created has no taste," Dragon God disdainfully replied through telepathy. "Is it cold up in the tree?"
"Zalama!"
The light-winged figure scolded. "Stop changing the subject! What's so special about this mortal? You keep bringing up things you shouldn't."
"Bartender, why are you yelling at me?" Dragon God squinted at her, confused. "What's so untouchable? I told him, and what's he going to do about it? I'm old, let me chat with a kid I find interesting. God, you've already brought your Celestial Realm's problems to the whole universe, are you now trying to stretch your claws into my home? How about this: I'll let you take over the Dragon Realm if you want. You can bring a piece of your Heaven into my Dragon Realm. You can make a little Heaven, a little Hell, even sit as the King of Hell. You can take care of my Dragon Clan's billions of lives, births, deaths, and sicknesses. Hmm?"
"What 'claws'? Don't speak so harshly…" The light-winged figure's voice softened slightly as she manifested a more distinct shape: a perfect woman with six wings on her back, her body glowing with holy light, radiating an aura so pure it was impossible to gaze upon. "But even so, casually telling a mortal about matters of this level—don't you think it's a bit tasteless?"
"Your Celestial Realm has too many broken rules!" Dragon God frowned, displeased. "Why did you suddenly sprout wings? And what's with all this blinding light… It's making my eyes dizzy."
"You!" The celestial being took a deep breath, grinding her teeth. "I like it, and it looks good. What's it to you?"
"No…" Dragon God suddenly noticed something, scrutinizing the shape the celestial being had formed. He was surprised. "This really is you, not some energy clone? Where's your original body?"
The celestial being proudly replied, "I don't need it! How about it? If I scatter now, you can't do anything, can you?"
Dragon God was speechless. "Isn't it just the time I scattered your clone last time? Is it really necessary to be so petty?"
"You dare scold me?" The celestial being narrowed her eyes, looking down at Dragon God (who was not as tall but still quite solid). With her three pairs of luminous wings spread wide, she cast a shadow over the old man's body. She sneered, "What about you? You've been busy tossing Super Dragon Balls all over the universe for so many years—what's the harvest been?"
Dragon God remained unfazed. "Someone will eventually do the unexpected. You can't force these things."
"Carefree!" the celestial being evaluated, "You and your Dragon Clan are just like this."
"Aren't your Celestial Realm folks just as bad? Arrogant, high and mighty!" Dragon God retorted. "The fruit on the tree is divine when it falls to the ground, but what about the foul air from the roots? That turns into ghosts naturally… A world built with this structure is rubbish! Utter rubbish!"
The celestial being scoffed, "At least my Celestial Realm, my people, maintained the shaky universe after the fall of The All God, preventing it from collapsing."
Dragon God spat, "Without the children I sent to bring the spark of civilization, what's the use of preventing the universe from collapsing? Everyone's dead!"
"Let them die. There'll be more eventually," the celestial being dismissed, "I can casually create millions of mortals with the pure air of my Celestial Realm. What's the big deal?"
Dragon God fumed, "Are those even the people of the universe anymore? We might as well rename the whole universe 'Celestial Realm'!"
"That's not the point…" the celestial being said coldly, "Wake up, Zalama. After all these years, you haven't found your so-called hope in the universe, and none of my children have produced even a single god of destruction who can master the Ultimate Freedom... Don't you get it, Zalama? The All God won't return."
"..." Dragon God fell silent.
"In the future, one God of Destruction per universe won't be enough," the celestial being's voice grew colder, perhaps masking sadness with emotionless words. She continued indifferently, "Rather than letting the whole universe disappear, my Celestial Realm will just take over."
Dragon God sighed long and deeply, and he and the celestial being shared a silent moment.
"...excuse me?" Yamiru raised his hand beside them.
While the two great beings were bickering, the weather on this miniature planet had truly turned turbulent. Lightning and thunder clashed, fires blazed, and strange phenomena appeared… He was truly dizzy. What was going on? His battle power was just over a hundred, yet it felt like he had walked into the wrong instance. Wasn't he just making some absurd wish?
And these two powerful beings were so casual about it—didn't they care that a mortal like him was eavesdropping?
