Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: The Golden Spark Awakens

The factory's training hall echoed with the sound of cheerful voices and the soft hum of machines. The tournament had ended earlier that day, but many still lingered to test the new PCs and share stories of their matches. Gobta stood in the center of the hall, breathing heavily after a long session of Mobile Legends. His small frame was covered in a light sweat, yet his eyes shone with unstoppable energy. He had led his team to victory in several rounds, charging forward with bold moves that surprised even the strongest opponents.

Veldora watched from the side with calm interest. Inside his mind, Takumi spoke with clear excitement. "Yo, bro. Look at Gobta. He moves with such raw spirit and never gives up, even when the odds look bad. He has the heart of a true fighter. I see huge potential in him. What if we gave him something special—an S cell, like the ones from those old stories I loved? A Saiyan cell that lets him transform into a Super Gobta form. Golden aura, massive power boost. It would fit his lively nature perfectly, and with our skill we can make it safe and controlled."

Veldora's golden eyes narrowed in thoughtful consideration. "A Super Gobta… the idea carries the pure otaku joy you hold dear. His determination already shines like a hidden flame. Granting him this power could awaken something magnificent. Let us discuss it with him first, then create the cell together using Faust."

Gobta noticed their gaze and walked over, wiping his forehead with a grin. "Lord Veldora! Did you see my last match? I tanked everything and turned the game around! It felt amazing."

Veldora placed a steady hand on Gobta's shoulder and spoke clearly. "We saw everything, Gobta. Takumi has noticed your great spirit. He believes you carry the potential to become even stronger. He suggests we give you a special gift—an S cell that would let you transform into a form called Super Gobta. Your power would rise dramatically, with a golden aura and new strength. Would you like to try it?"

Gobta's eyes widened in pure surprise, then sparkled with delight. "Super Gobta? Like those heroes in the stories Takumi told us about? Yes! I want to try! If it helps me protect everyone better, I will do it!"

Rimuru approached from the side, drawn by the conversation. His deep golden eyes showed gentle curiosity. "A transformation for Gobta? Takumi, this is a bold idea. If it is safe, it could be a wonderful gift. Let us make sure he understands what it means."

Milim rushed over, her twin tails swaying with excitement. "Super Gobta? That sounds so cool! I want to see it! Will he glow like the sun? Can I watch up close?"

Ramiris floated beside her, clapping her tiny hands. "A golden aura? I can add sparkles to make it even prettier! Gobta, you will look like a real hero from the games!"

Shuna arrived with a soft smile, carrying a small cup of cool water for Gobta. "If this power comes from Takumi's kind heart, it will surely be gentle. Please be careful, but I believe you will use it wisely."

Benimaru stood nearby, arms crossed in quiet analysis. "If the transformation increases strength without losing control, it could help our defenses. I will watch closely."

Diablo observed with calm precision. "A new form born of friendship and creativity. I approve, provided it remains safe for our friend."

Souei appeared silently in the shadows, ready to assist if needed.

Veldora nodded once. "Then we begin. Takumi will craft the S cell using Faust's Skill Creation. It will be pure, stable, and perfectly matched to Gobta's gentle soul."

Pure creation energy gathered around Veldora's hand in a soft blue glow. Takumi guided the process with careful focus. A small, glowing orb formed— the S cell—shimmering with golden light. Veldora gently pressed it toward Gobta's chest. The orb melted into him without pain, only a warm surge of power.

Gobta closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them wide. "I feel… something big inside!"

Suddenly, a brilliant golden aura erupted around him. His hair turned bright gold, standing up in wild spikes. His small body grew slightly taller and stronger, muscles defined with new power. The aura pulsed like a living sun, sending waves of energy through the factory. The entire building shook gently at first, then the tremor spread outward.

The ground beneath the Petronas Twin Towers trembled. Windows in the Night Market rattled. Citizens across Tempest looked up in surprise as a golden light rose into the sky. Trees in the Jura Forest swayed, and even the labyrinth floors hummed with the distant echo.

Milim's eyes widened in pure delight. "Whoa! The whole place is shaking! Gobta, you look amazing! Like a real Super hero from the stories!"

Ramiris spun in the air, laughing. "The aura is so bright! It feels warm and strong. Tempest is dancing with you!"

Rimuru steadied himself, a gentle smile on his face. "Incredible. The power is pure and controlled. Gobta, how do you feel?"

Gobta looked at his glowing hands, voice full of awe and joy. "I feel… unstoppable! Like I could run across the whole forest without getting tired. The golden light is warm inside me. Thank you, Takumi! Thank you, Lord Veldora! I will use this power to protect everyone!"

Shuna placed a hand on her chest, her voice soft with wonder. "The shake reached even the kitchen. Yet it feels gentle, like a friendly greeting. Your new form is beautiful, Gobta."

Benimaru nodded with sharp approval. "The energy is stable. We can train with it safely. This could become a new technique for our forces."

Diablo's crimson eyes gleamed with quiet respect. "A transformation born of pure friendship. It will serve the federation well."

Souei watched from the shadows, a rare nod of acknowledgment.

Veldora placed a steady hand on Gobta's shoulder, the golden aura calming under his touch. "Takumi says you have earned this. The S cell awakened what was already inside you—your brave heart. Practice the form slowly, and it will grow with you."

Gobta powered down with a bright grin, the golden hair returning to normal. The shaking stopped, but the excitement remained. "I will practice every day! Super Gobta will be ready whenever Tempest needs me!"

The group gathered closer, sharing laughter and gentle questions. Milim wanted to see the transformation again. Ramiris asked if she could add fairy lights to the aura next time. Rimuru spoke with quiet wisdom about using the new power responsibly. Shuna offered more snacks to celebrate.

Veldora relayed Takumi's final warm thought. "Takumi says seeing Gobta glow like that feels like the best plot twist yet. The otaku dream of power-ups has come true in our world."

The factory hall filled with cheerful talk as the sun began to set. Gobta's transformation had shaken Tempest in the best way, reminding everyone that even the smallest friend could hold the greatest potential. The new landmarks, the gaming culture, and now this golden spark all wove together into a brighter future for the federation.

Milim raised her fist high. "To Super Gobta and all the fun still to come!"

The golden light of possibility lingered in the air long after the aura faded, promising many more adventures for the friends of Tempest.
