Years later, West City.
The sunlight was just right.
Loren lay leisurely on a beach chair in the backyard of his villa, wearing sunglasses.
A glass of iced lemon tea sat on the small table beside him, beads of condensation slowly sliding down the glass.
Android 18, dressed in a cool short skirt, held a large pair of scissors as she carefully trimmed the branches and leaves in the flower garden.
Her golden hair shimmered under the sunlight, outlining a flawless profile.
Time seemed to freeze—peaceful and tranquil.
These moments summed up the true meaning behind all of Loren's struggles since transmigrating into this world.
Since Goku and the others resolved that minor disturbance in the Other World a few years ago, the universe had finally entered an era of peace.
No more short-sighted idiots came to Earth looking for trouble.
That battle-crazed lunatic, Vegeta, spent most of his days locked inside Capsule Corporation's gravity chamber, endlessly challenging himself.
Goku occasionally visited King Kai, and whenever he returned, he would either spar with Gohan or drag a group of kids to the World Martial Arts Tournament to mess around.
As for Loren himself…
Since transmigrating, he had never cultivated seriously, and naturally, he wasn't about to start bitter training now.
His daily routine consisted of sunbathing in his yard, enjoying the gentle breeze.
Or accompanying Android 18 to the world's largest shopping malls, watching her try on one beautiful outfit after another.
Or traveling.
Watching auroras. Diving in the seas around uninhabited islands.
For power-obsessed Saiyans, this kind of life might be considered decadent.
But for Loren, this was paradise—the life he had always dreamed of.
"Husband."
Android 18 finished trimming the final rose bush, wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead, and walked over.
"What do you want for lunch?"
Loren removed his sunglasses, squinting slightly as he enjoyed his wife's presence. After thinking for a moment, he replied calmly.
"Anything's fine. Just have Capsule Corporation's chef make something simple."
"Mhm."
Android 18 nodded, then turned and went inside to make the call.
Just then—
A familiar mechanical voice echoed in Loren's mind without any warning.
[Ding! Detected God of Destruction Beerus experiencing unease due to a prophetic dream.]
[Special mission triggered!]
Loren paused slightly.
The system?
[Mission Name: The God of Destruction's Nightmare]
[Mission Description: Enter God of Destruction Beerus' dream and conduct profound ideological education through absolute power, correcting his flawed cosmic worldview and making him understand that even Gods have superiors.]
[Mission Restriction: This is a dream-based mission. The Host will enter as a consciousness body.]
[Mission Assistance: During the dream mission, the Host will temporarily unlock the ultimate state—Limit Platinum God.]
[Limit Platinum God: An ultimate God form surpassing Super Saiyan Blue, possessing eighth-dimensional divine power comparable to an Angel.]
Loren's eyebrow twitched.
Eighth-dimensional?
Angel-level?
That sounded pretty terrifying.
But—
I like it.
[Mission Rewards:]
[1. Upon completion of the ideological education, the Host's base combat power will increase to 3 billion.]
[2. The Host will obtain the Godly Secret Technique—Ultra Instinct.]
Loren's lips curved upward uncontrollably.
Entering the God of Destruction's dream… and beating the shit out of him?
That honestly sounded pretty damn fun.
And the rewards were insanely generous—base combat power jumping straight to 3 billion.
But more importantly…
Ultra Instinct.
Those five words excited Loren far more than the combat power boost.
He knew exactly what this Godly Secret Technique represented.
Ultra Instinct wasn't a simple power amplification or a transformation enhancement.
It was a realm.
A state where every part of the body possessed its own will.
No thinking. No judgment.
The body moved before the mind—executing the most perfect attacks and the most extreme evasions.
In the original story, Goku had been pushed to the brink before breaking through his limits and stepping into the realm of the Gods.
Facing Jiren, the strongest warrior of Universe 11.
It was Ultra Instinct that allowed Goku to contend with him.
As for Beerus…
That temperamental cat God who loved talking about destruction.
A few years ago, Whis had even personally invited Loren to become a God of Destruction candidate.
Loren's response?
"Not even a dog would do that."
He had shut it down instantly.
And now the system wanted him to invade Beerus' dream and mess with his worldview?
"Interesting."
Loren muttered softly.
The power increase was secondary.
Ultra Instinct was the real prize.
For that alone, this mission was worth it.
At that moment, Android 18 returned and saw the strange smile on Loren's face.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
"Nothing."
Loren sat up and stretched lazily.
"I suddenly feel sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."
"A nap right after breakfast?"
Android 18 rolled her eyes, her expression full of charm.
"You're getting lazier by the day."
"This is called balancing work and rest," Loren said seriously.
"Besides, this isn't an ordinary nap. When I wake up, my strength will probably increase quite a bit."
Android 18 clearly didn't believe him. She just shook her head helplessly and walked back into the villa to check on the kitchen.
Loren lay back down and spoke silently in his mind.
"System, I accept the mission."
[Mission accepted.]
[Preparing consciousness transfer…]
[Special Notice: The dream plane is a chaotic consciousness space. After the mission ends, Beerus' memory of the Host's appearance will be automatically blurred.]
[Target Location: God of Destruction Realm — Beerus' Dream.]
[Transfer starting!]
An overwhelming drowsiness instantly washed over Loren's consciousness.
His eyelids grew unbearably heavy as his awareness rapidly sank, passing through layer after layer of bizarre barriers.
When he regained consciousness—
He found himself standing atop a continent made entirely of food.
At its center, within a massive nest constructed from countless fish bones, a purple, Sphinx-like cat creature lay sprawled out, emitting earth-shaking snores.
Drool spilled from his mouth, carving small craters into the ground below.
God of Destruction Beerus.
Loren stared at the absurd sight, his mouth twitching.
"…This guy's dream is really something else."
