Loren looked at the light screen projected by [The God-level selection system].
[Task Name: The Gift of a Good Teacher]
[Task Description: As the master of Son Gohan, present him with a wedding gift that will permanently change his future. Help him fully master his potential and become a warrior who can stand on his own.]
[Task Option: Grant Disciple Son Gohan the "Potential Unleashed" state.]
Loren raised an eyebrow slightly.
Interesting.
This reward wasn't flashy, but it was extremely practical.
Loren's gaze shifted toward Gohan, who was still standing respectfully nearby, filled with gratitude and nervous excitement.
That's good.
Consider this… your wedding gift.
Loren's Gift
"Gohan."
Loren put down his juice glass and waved casually.
"Come here."
"Yes, Master."
Although confused, Gohan immediately stepped forward obediently.
Loren stood up and placed his right hand lightly on Gohan's shoulder.
To everyone else, it looked like nothing more than a gentle pat from an elder.
But the instant his palm made contact—
Loren spoke silently in his mind.
"[The God-level selection system], execute the grant."
Buzz—
A vast, pure, and perfectly controlled power flowed silently from Loren into Gohan's body.
No aura explosion.
No light show.
No disturbance to the guests.
Only absolute transformation.
Gohan's body trembled violently.
He felt it.
A warm current surged through every cell of his body.
His strength didn't feel explosive—
It felt complete.
Clear.
Stable.
Perfectly obedient.
As if a fog that had clouded his power for his entire life had been wiped away in an instant.
A new realm.
One that belonged entirely to him.
Before anyone could notice anything strange, Loren withdrew his hand and returned to his chair.
"Alright."
He waved lazily.
"That's your wedding gift."
"From now on, live well."
"And don't slack off on training."
Gohan stood frozen for a second.
Then—
He bent at the waist into a deep ninety-degree bow.
A thousand emotions surged through his chest, but only one sentence came out.
"Yes, Master!"
Android 18 Notices
Gohan and Videl moved on to greet the other guests.
Android 18 picked up a translucent green grape, brought it to Loren's mouth, and watched Gohan's retreating back.
Her blue eyes narrowed slightly.
"What did you do to him?"
"He got much stronger."
Loren opened his mouth and ate the grape.
"Hmm."
"I just helped him break through a barrier."
"So random idiots won't bother me in the future."
Android 18 smiled faintly.
As expected.
Still laziness at the core.
A New Presence
Suddenly—
Loren's gaze shifted subtly toward the banquet entrance.
[Warning: High-dimensional life form detected.]
[Identity: Whis — Angel of Universe 7]
[Threat Level: ???]
[Evaluation: No hostility detected. Recommended response — courtesy, or delicious food.]
Loren's eyebrow twitched.
Angel?
Whis?
He calmly leaned closer to Android 18.
"Wife."
"Looks like someone troublesome just arrived."
"Huh?"
Android 18 followed his gaze.
At the bustling entrance, a tall figure had appeared without anyone noticing.
Light blue skin.
Long white hair standing upright.
A black staff held casually in hand.
An elegant, harmless smile.
Whis.
No one else noticed him.
It was as if he had always been there.
Whis gently inhaled.
Roasted whole beef.
Grilled lobster.
Cream cake.
Countless rich aromas intertwined into a perfect symphony.
His eyes lit up.
"Oh my… oh my."
"The food culture of this planet is quite impressive."
One Year Ago — Whis's Perspective
A year earlier.
When Loren erased Majin Buu using the Forced Spirit Bomb, the overwhelming power fluctuation had reached the God of Destruction's realm.
Under a massive tree, Whis calmly sipped afternoon tea, observing the projection inside his staff.
"To forcibly extract life energy without harming the source…"
"That resembles the structure of laws."
"Very refined."
"Super Saiyan Four… and then this…"
Whis tapped his staff lightly.
Beerus's power was destruction.
Pure erasure.
But Loren's power was domination.
Forceful control over existence itself.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Perhaps—
Much more suitable than Lord Beerus.
Just as Whis prepared to visit Earth, a message from the Grand Priest arrived.
He had no choice but to postpone the visit.
Until today.
Back to the Wedding
Loren glanced at the mountains of expertly prepared dishes.
A faint smile appeared.
For a foodie like Whis—
Power didn't matter.
Rank didn't matter.
Food mattered.
Whis stepped forward elegantly, eyes shining as he surveyed the banquet.
"Oh my, oh my…"
"It seems I've arrived at exactly the right time."
His gaze finally met Loren's.
Loren stood up.
"Hey."
"You with the blue skin."
Whis blinked.
Loren pointed at the food.
"Don't just stand there."
"If you're here—"
"Sit down and eat."
Goku, with half a lobster in his mouth, turned his head.
"Huh?"
"There's someone there?"
Bulma squinted.
"Who's that strange guy?"
"Is he Loren's friend?"
Whis smiled wider.
Oh?
This mortal…
Really is interesting.
