"Don't worry, Zeru-brother! I'll definitely train even harder!"
Son Goku instantly became fired up again.
He normally didn't care whether others surpassed him.
But that only applied to other people.
If another version of himself surpassed him instead…
Then that competitive spirit inside him absolutely wouldn't stay quiet.
So while he didn't think he could surpass that other timeline's Goku in a short amount of time…
At the very least, he absolutely couldn't allow himself to fall too far behind.
"Good luck."
Zeru smiled and patted Goku on the shoulder.
"I believe you can do it."
But suddenly—
As if he had thought of something—
A strange expression appeared on Zeru's face.
It was both stunned…
And excited.
"Yes."
Those two completely different emotions existed on his face at the same time.
"Zeru-brother… what's wrong?"
Goku scratched his head awkwardly.
Zeru waved his hand.
The reason for his strange reaction was simple—
A terrifyingly hilarious idea had just popped into his head.
What if…
GT Goku and Super Timeline Goku used the Potara Earrings to fuse?
After all, fundamentally speaking, they were the same person.
Same soul.
Same origin.
In that case…
Would their fusion perhaps have no time limit at all?
And if that happened—
What would the fused warrior even be called?
Super Goku?
Thinking about it, Zeru nearly burst out laughing again.
Honestly…
That sounded way too entertaining.
But then another problem appeared.
If the fusion truly became permanent…
Would both timelines' Chi-Chi end up sharing one Goku?!
"Hahahahaha!"
Zeru finally couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed loudly.
Beside him, Goku stared blankly in confusion.
He genuinely had no idea why Zeru suddenly looked mentally unstable.
"Alright."
"Not only do you need to train harder…"
"I do too."
Zeru coughed lightly after noticing Goku's strange gaze.
Then he vanished with Instant Transmission.
Back at his home in West City, Zeru's expression gradually became serious.
"One year later…"
"The second Tournament of Power begins."
"If I lose to the Grand Priest…"
"That'd be pretty embarrassing as his teacher."
But honestly—
Even now, Zeru still couldn't fully see through Grand Priest's strength.
That guy was likely far stronger than him at the moment.
"Ten months…"
"Can I really surpass him in just ten months?"
Zeru frowned deeply.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his own potential.
The issue was simply—
The time was too short.
Although he possessed the weakening attribute effect…
That ability only worked when the gap between two fighters wasn't overwhelmingly massive.
If the Grand Priest one-shot him instantly…
Then how would weakening even matter?
"I need to properly plan things…"
Suddenly—
Zeru froze.
Wait.
There wasn't even a full year left anymore.
He had stayed in the Dragon Ball Super timeline for two months already.
Which meant—
He only had ten months remaining.
Right then—
Notification
"The mission system has activated."
"Mission: Upload the cultivation and usage methods of Ki into the Multiverse Chat Party."
"Mission Reward: 5x base combat power increase, and a Hyperbolic Time Chamber with 50x time flow."
"Accept or reject?"
Zeru's eyes instantly lit up.
"Oh?!"
"Talk about perfect timing."
He had literally just been worrying about how to increase his power rapidly—
And now the system immediately delivered a solution.
"System…"
"You really are my sweet little padded jacket."
"I love you."
Zeru burst into laughter and accepted the mission without hesitation.
The moment he accepted, his consciousness entered the Multiverse Chat Party.
Notification
"The user you follow, @Zeru, is now online!"
"The user you follow, @Zeru, is now online!"
The moment Zeru entered the chat group—
A flood of notifications exploded.
Zeru blinked blankly.
"When did this group get a follow-notification feature?"
Looking upward, he noticed that the online member count had instantly jumped from two people…
To over twenty.
The chat immediately exploded.
"Welcome, Zeru-bigshot!"
"Zeru-bigshot! I checked Saiyan transformation data—your current form seems to be Super Saiyan 5?!"
"Zeru-bigshot finally logged in!"
Message after message flooded the screen nonstop.
Seeing the group owner tag him, Zeru casually replied:
"@Multiverse Chat Party Owner"
"Yes."
"My normal state is essentially Super Saiyan 5."
"However…"
"It's fused with the Ultra Instinct realm."
"So it's somewhat different from an ordinary Super Saiyan 5 transformation."
"Hissss! Zeru-bigshot truly is terrifying beyond comprehension!"
— Multiverse Chat Party Owner
"Hissss! +1!"
"Hissss! +2! (Little Dragon Maiden doesn't understand but feels impressed QAQ)"
Seeing the cute emoticon sent by Xiaolongnü, Zeru couldn't help laughing again.
It was genuinely hard to imagine such a cold and aloof woman using cute emojis.
Then Zeru finally typed:
"This time, I came online to upload Dragon Ball world Ki cultivation methods."
"Once the upload finishes, everyone can download and study it carefully from the group files."
Since he wasn't the group owner, he couldn't tag everyone directly.
So he tagged the owner instead.
"@Multiverse Chat Party Owner"
"Sorry to trouble you with an @everyone."
"No problem at all!"
"Leave it to me!"
The group owner became wildly excited.
Dragon Ball Ki cultivation methods—
This was absolutely priceless.
After all, this was genuine combat-power enhancement.
Especially for his own high-martial world, Dragon Ball Ki was practically a perfect system.
Soon after—
Zeru uploaded the cultivation method.
Then added:
"Once everyone learns how to use Ki, feel free to share your cultivation experiences in the group."
"And also…"
"Before long, I'll upload some Dragon Ball energy techniques as well."
"At that point, everyone can decide whether they want to learn them."
Of course—
Zeru wasn't doing this purely out of kindness.
The real reason…
Was because he found it interesting.
And more importantly—
He had a terrifying hypothesis.
The Multiverse Chat Party contained members from countless worlds.
Which meant—
He had the opportunity to gradually integrate the Dragon Ball power system into the entire multiverse.
And once the Dragon Ball system spread everywhere…
Would his abilities—
Like Erasure…
Or Creation…
Also become usable across all worlds?
