After the light of the Hidden Sanctuary faded, Krillin immediately opened his system panel.
He had already prepared himself mentally.
Even so, when he saw the rows of highlighted data glowing before him, he could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
[Name: Bura]
[Race: Demigod (Origin-Type)]
[Power Level: Unknown. Divinity Sealed.]
[Talent 1: Affinity with All Things (Unknown)]
[Talent 2: Prototype of Law Manipulation (Unknown)]
Looking at the endless string of "Unknowns," Krillin felt a headache coming on.
...
Time flew by.
Before anyone realized it, another five months had passed.
The mornings in West City always carried the faint salty scent of the sea breeze.
Krillin woke up on the oversized custom-made bed.
The space beside him was empty.
Bulma was a workaholic.
Recently, she had become even more obsessed with her projects.
She was probably still pulling another all-nighter in the laboratory.
Stretching lazily, Krillin's entire body crackled like popping firecrackers.
That sound came from the Martial God Core inside him.
Even while sleeping, the core continued compressing and refining his ki.
His strength was growing every second at an astonishing rate.
He pushed open the bedroom door and entered the living room.
A warm and peaceful scene greeted him.
Blue-haired Launch sat on the carpet.
A toy rattle spun gently in her hand as she lovingly entertained little Ransa.
"Ransa, look over here."
"Clack, clack, clack~"
The boy was growing at an incredible pace.
At only five months old, he already looked more like a child over a year old.
His heterochromatic eyes followed the rattle's movements.
The golden flame in his left eye occasionally flickered.
The icy blue gaze of his right eye remained calm and still.
Ransa rarely cried.
He rarely laughed.
Most of the time, he simply stared at people with that cool expression.
For some reason, it made others feel strangely uneasy.
Across the room, however, was an entirely different scene.
Near the floor-to-ceiling windows lay a meditation mat woven from Spirit-Gathering Grass imported from Namek.
Aki sat cross-legged upon it.
A soft green glow surrounded her body.
Beside her sat little Bura.
She mimicked her mother perfectly.
Tiny legs crossed.
Eyes closed.
Long eyelashes fluttering gently.
A faint violet radiance flowed around her body.
It was divine power.
Far purer than even Aki's.
The potted plants nearby seemed drawn toward her.
Branches stretched in her direction.
Leaves expanded wildly.
It was as though the plants themselves were paying homage to a young goddess.
"Hooo..."
Bura slowly exhaled.
Not that there was much impurity inside her body to begin with.
Her emerald eyes opened.
They resembled tranquil ancient lakes.
Far too calm for a child her age.
"Bura! Good morning!"
Before Krillin could approach, a purple blur shot across the room like a cannonball.
It was Trillin.
The boy carried a massive sack over his shoulder.
Inside were all sorts of treasures.
Limited-edition snacks.
Freshly picked flowers.
Even several sparkling gemstones.
"Look, Bura!"
"I got fresh Dinosaur Egg Tarts!"
"And these Snow Lotus flowers from the Arctic Ice Fields!"
"Oh, and this!"
"I found it at the bottom of the ocean!"
"It's a glowing pearl!"
He dumped everything in front of her like a proud adventurer presenting treasure.
His normally fearless face was filled with eager anticipation.
There was none of the dominant charisma he usually displayed as the king of the neighborhood kids.
Right now, he was simply an overprotective sister fanatic.
A complete little sister addict.
Bura looked at him.
A sweet smile bloomed on her face.
She reached out her chubby little hand and gently patted his head.
"Thank you, big brother."
Her voice was soft and adorable.
Yet it carried an unusual resonance that seemed to reach directly into people's hearts.
Boom!
The moment Bura touched him, Krillin sensed Trillin's energy surge dramatically.
This increase wasn't the result of training.
It felt more like...
A blessing.
Krillin narrowed his eyes and activated the system scan.
[Name: Trillin]
[Race: Human (Undergoing Divine Radiation Evolution)]
[Power Level: 150,000,000]
[Status: Favored by Divinity]
[Long-term exposure to a high-order divine lifeform is gradually evolving his life essence.]
[Training Speed +300%]
[Physical Strength +200%]
"Good grief..."
Krillin was genuinely shocked.
Trillin had barely trained seriously during the past five months.
The boy spent nearly every day following Bura around.
Yet his power level was already approaching 150 million.
This wasn't babysitting.
This was farming experience points.
And not ordinary experience points either.
This was an automatic AFK leveling exploit with a tenfold bonus.
Feeling the surge of power within him, Trillin clenched his fists excitedly.
"Wow!"
"Bura really is my lucky star!"
"I feel like I can do another five hundred push-ups today!"
He immediately picked her up and rubbed his cheek against hers repeatedly.
"Come on!"
"Big brother's taking you on an adventure!"
"Today we're flying past the atmosphere to watch meteors!"
Bura giggled happily.
She showed no resistance to the affection.
Aki watched from the side and smiled gently.
She made no attempt to stop them.
Krillin felt both proud and concerned.
The problem was becoming increasingly obvious.
Bura's talent was simply too overwhelming.
So overwhelming that even he, her father, had no idea how to guide her properly.
Earth's martial arts?
Too primitive.
Namekian magic?
Not really compatible.
Bura was like a flawless, uncut divine gem.
Or perhaps...
A nuclear weapon without an instruction manual.
One wrong step could lead to unimaginable consequences.
"System."
"Do you have any cultivation methods suitable for divine lifeforms?"
Krillin asked inwardly.
[Searching...]
[No matching results found.]
[This system is based on the Dragon Ball universe.]
[No existing data is available regarding the growth path of a 'True Divine Infant.']
[Suggestion:]
[Allow Aki to continue teaching the Sacred Tree lineage's Natural Meditation Method to stabilize the Divine Core.]
[Host may attempt to pass on insights from the Martial True God Physique.]
[Warning: Exercise caution to avoid divine power conflicts.]
Krillin sighed.
This truly was a luxurious problem to have.
For now, all he could do was take things one step at a time.
Fortunately, Bura was still young.
Aki's nature-based meditation method seemed to be working well enough.
At the very least, it was teaching her how to control the divine energy leaking from her body.
Otherwise, one sneeze might accidentally blow a hole through the planet.
"Dad!"
Trillin carried Bura over with an eager grin.
"I'm going fishing today!"
"Can I bring Bura with me?"
Krillin snapped out of his thoughts.
He ruffled Trillin's hair and pinched Bura's soft cheek.
"Sure."
"But don't go too far."
"And come back early for dinner."
"Got it!"
Trillin cheered.
Without another word, he hugged Bura tightly and flew straight out the window.
His speed was so fast that only an afterimage remained.
Watching the children disappear into the distance, Krillin smiled faintly.
Then he turned and headed toward the underground laboratory.
Compared to Bura's education problem...
It seemed that Bulma had made a discovery far more shocking.
