Dragon Ball: I Will Become an Angel as a Saiyan - Chapter 100
“It’s a promise then, let’s pinky swear,” Ren extended his pinky finger.
“Alright, let’s pinky swear,” Vados replied nonchalantly.
Ren and Vados linked their pinkies and pressed their thumbs together.
“From now on, you’re my girlfriend,” Ren declared seriously.
“Okay, okay,” Vados laughed, then changed the subject, “Let’s find the Super Dragon Balls first.”
“Let’s find them together,” Ren nodded.
With the Super Dragon Radar, finding the Dragon Balls was quite easy.
In just one day, Vados gathered all three Super Dragon Balls in Universe 7 and brought them outside the solar system.
The next day, Vados took Ren to Universe 6.
The Super Dragon Radar indicated that there were four Super Dragon Balls in Universe 6.
Vados and Ren spent another day collecting these four Super Dragon Balls and brought them near the solar system in Universe 7.
All seven Super Dragon Balls were gathered.
“I’m going to summon the Super Shenron,” Vados took a deep breath, feeling a bit excited.
Ren nodded, also feeling a bit of anticipation.
Super Shenron…
Should I take this opportunity to make a wish for immortality or something?
But then Ren dismissed the idea.
What’s the point of immortality?
Immortality holds no real significance.
In front of gods, it’s nothing.
Even if you’re immortal, being sealed somewhere would be worse than death.
Or being constantly tortured, you’d truly feel the endless pain of immortality.
So, to Ren, increasing his own strength was the way to go.
Before reaching a certain level of strength, immortality is a joke.
Besides, becoming a true angel is essentially a form of immortality.
Angels never age.
The only way an angel can die is through full-power combat.
But Ren is different. Once Ren becomes a true angel, he absolutely won’t die from combat.
At this moment, in the vast starry sky, seven golden Super Dragon Balls gathered together.
The golden light illuminated the starry sky, making it shine brilliantly.
“Come forth, Super Shenron, and grant my wish…” Vados began to summon the Super Shenron in the language of the gods.
Just then, Vados’s staff vibrated slightly.
Vados paused, looking at the crystal ball on her staff, and swallowed her words.
“Oh my… it’s the Grand Priest contacting me…” Vados muttered, a bit surprised.
Ren’s expression also changed slightly.
The Grand Priest?
Why is the Grand Priest contacting Vados suddenly?
He must know we’ve gathered the Super Dragon Balls, right?
Ren knew that nothing escaped the Grand Priest’s knowledge.
I wonder if he saw the moment I kissed his daughter…
Please don’t target me now.
I can’t beat you!
“Don’t say anything yet…” Vados instructed Ren, then disappeared in a flash.
“Shwoosh!”
In an instant, Vados distanced herself from Ren and appeared in another location, using her staff to contact the Grand Priest.
“Oh my, Grand Priest, long time no see,” Vados greeted cheerfully.
“Vados, don’t use the Super Dragon Balls yet, I have other uses for them,” the Grand Priest instructed without much expression.
“Oh my… finally gathered the Super Dragon Balls and now the Grand Priest is taking them,” Vados sighed.
“You’ve got some nerve…” The Grand Priest scolded with a dark expression, “I planned for Ren to train with Cus, but you took him…”
“Apologies, but I didn’t take Ren, he thought Universe 6 suited him better,” Vados weakly defended.
“You can take Ren, but I want you to train him well and help him become a true angel soon,” the Grand Priest said seriously.
“Of course, I’ll teach him properly,” Vados nodded, “I’ve already taught him the true Ultra Instinct.”
“That’s good,” the Grand Priest said calmly.
“But honestly, Grand Priest, it’s the first time I’ve seen a human cultivate angelic power. How did he do it? Is he your illegitimate child?” Vados asked thoughtfully.
The Grand Priest: “…”
The Grand Priest’s face darkened further.
“Such impertinence…” the Grand Priest scolded, then explained, “He received the angelic power of Linglong Angel, which gave him this opportunity.”
“Linglong Angel?” Vados was puzzled.
“Do you remember what Linglong Angel said before she disappeared?” the Grand Priest asked.
“I vaguely remember… She said she left her purest angelic power in a universe, waiting for a fated person to resonate with it,” Vados recalled, “And she mentioned that this fated person could potentially become a true angel… It’s been so long ago.”
“Yes, that’s it,” the Grand Priest nodded.
“So… Ren is that fated person?” Vados understood.
“Also, the 18th Universe has begun to take shape again,” the Grand Priest revealed another bombshell.
“Oh my… the 18th Universe that was erased has been restored?” Vados was astonished.
“It’s just in the early stages,” the Grand Priest clarified.
“So… what about Linglong Angel?” Vados asked.
“She is also in recovery,” the Grand Priest responded, “So, I plan to choose a God of Destruction and a Supreme Kai for the newly restored 18th Universe, along with a trainee Angel to develop and train there.”
Vados remained silent, knowing the Grand Priest had more to say.
“Do you have any suggestions?” the Grand Priest asked with a smile.
“Why assign a trainee angel if Linglong Angel has recovered?” Vados was confused.
“Linglong is still in the recovery phase, and her angelic power is very weak. She’s not ready to manage a universe yet,” the Grand Priest explained, shaking his head. “So we need a trainee angel to assist her.”
“Trainee angel… Merno would be a perfect fit,” Vados suggested. “As for the God of Destruction and Supreme Kai, we can select from the twelve universes.”
“Merno isn’t suitable right now,” the Grand Priest said, shaking his head lightly.
Vados was slightly taken aback.
“He hasn’t yet distinguished between good and evil, so he isn’t fit to be an angel of a universe,” the Grand Priest said, shaking his head again.
“Grand Priest, you might as well just say you want Ren to be the trainee angel,” Vados said with a sigh.
“That is indeed my intention, but his current strength is too weak… So I need you to train him properly,” the Grand Priest said with a serious tone, emphasizing the importance.
“Understood. Since Ren has inherited Linglong Angel’s power, it makes sense for him to become the trainee angel of the 18th Universe,” Vados quickly grasped the Grand Priest’s idea.
“As for selecting a God of Destruction and Supreme Kai… I know he’s already nurturing a potential God of Destruction. Find an opportunity to discuss the Supreme Kai role with him,” the Grand Priest instructed Vados.
“Will do… I’ll also keep an eye on that matter,” Vados agreed, then casually asked, “But isn’t giving the 18th Universe to him too straightforward? This boy might get overconfident.”
“Have you heard of the concept of a bidding process?” the Grand Priest suddenly asked.
Vados: “???”
Vados looked puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
“When selecting a partner for a project, a bidding process is used to choose the right partner,” the Grand Priest explained with a smile. “Sometimes the project partner is pre-selected, but other companies still participate in the bid. They call this an ‘accompanying bid.’”
Vados: “…”
“So you’re saying we should find some accompanying bidders?” Vados quickly understood.
“Exactly,” the Grand Priest nodded slightly. “Let’s set the timeframe to six months from now. I believe with six months of growth, Ren’s strength will improve significantly, and the purity of his angelic power will increase a lot.”
“Understood,” Vados agreed, then asked, “But what does this have to do with the Super Dragon Balls?”
“You’ll know when the time comes. Your main task for the next six months is to train Ren, aiming to increase his angelic power purity to 20,” the Grand Priest ordered firmly.
“His current angelic power purity is only 10… This task seems heavy,” Vados sighed, “Maybe I should send him to the 10th Universe instead.”
The Grand Priest: “…”
The Grand Priest didn’t want to speak anymore and ended the call abruptly.
You took him away, and now you want to send him back to the 10th Universe?
Vados stared at the now disconnected crystal ball, lost in thought.
Six months… to increase Ren’s angelic power purity to 20.
This is going to be a tough job.
I shouldn’t have competed with Cus for him.
Vados shook her head in resignation.
Seeing that Vados had finished the call, Ren flew over quickly.
Ren was sensible enough not to eavesdrop on the Grand Priest and Vados’s conversation.
That would only bring trouble.
“What’s wrong, Vados? You seem troubled. What did your father say?” Ren asked.
Vados: “…”
“Did Merus tell you the Grand Priest is my father?” Vados looked at Ren.
“We tell each other everything,” Ren smiled slightly.
“It’s nothing major… But we won’t be able to use the Super Dragon Balls for now. The Grand Priest has other plans for them,” Vados glanced at the seven Super Dragon Balls.
Ren also looked at the seven shining Super Dragon Balls in the starry sky.
Each Super Dragon Ball was the size of a planet.
They looked especially dazzling in the starry sky.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, something shocking happened.
The seven Super Dragon Balls vanished.
Yes, they disappeared right in front of Ren’s eyes.
The golden starry sky returned to black.
“Who stole the Super Dragon Balls?” Ren exclaimed angrily.
Vados: “…”
“Who else but the Grand Priest has the power to transfer seven Super Dragon Balls across space?” Vados glanced at Ren.
Do you think “steal” is the right word?
“But if I marry you when I grow up, the Grand Priest will be my father-in-law, right?” Ren pondered.
Vados didn’t want to talk anymore.
What kind of logic is that?
But you do have a point.
“The Super Dragon Balls we gathered are gone just like that,” Ren sighed. “It seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer to swap Earth.”
“Let’s wait. Another year or so won’t hurt,” Vados replied, then looked seriously at Ren. “Once your Iron Man suit is ready, we’ll head back to Universe 6. You want to become a true angel, right? I’ll train you properly in the meantime.”
“Got it,” Ren nodded firmly.
“Can you increase your angelic power purity to 20 in three months?” Vados asked.
Ren: “…”
“No,” Ren shook his head decisively.
Ren had a clear understanding of his cultivation.
Increasing angelic power purity is like leveling up in a game.
The higher the level, the slower the progress.
If only the later levels increased as quickly as the earlier ones.
Reaching an angelic power purity of 20?
Ren estimated it would take at least a year.
Do you want me to reach 20 in three months?
“I do have an idea… that might help increase my angelic power purity quickly,” Ren suddenly thought.
“What idea?” Vados asked.
“Absorb some from you,” Ren suggested.
Vados: “…”
Why does this idea sound so strange?
“No,” Vados refused without hesitation.
“You’re so stingy!” Ren sighed.
…
Two days later.
Dr. Brief finally completed the Iron Man suit.
“Just press the red button on this watch?” Ren asked excitedly, looking at the watch on his wrist.
“Yes,” Dr. Brief nodded.
“Ren, try it out. I helped too, and I want to see how you look in the suit,” Bulma said excitedly, her ponytail swinging.
Broly looked on expectantly.
Vados stood at a distance, silently observing.
“Click!”
Ren pressed the red button on the watch.
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, Ren was covered in a red suit.
The suit was designed based on Iron Man’s style.
Of course, the material of this suit was much stronger than Iron Man’s.
Once worn, it increased Ren’s power fifty-fold.
“Clack! Clack! Clack!”
Ren walked to a mirror, admiring his reflection. He looked very much like Iron Man.
Not bad, not bad.
Earth’s best scientists are impressive.
Ren indeed felt his power increase fifty-fold with the suit.
That’s fifty times the power.
What a great thing.
“So cool!” Bulma cheered, her ponytail bouncing.
Broly looked enviously at the new suit.
It looked much better than the previous robot suit.
The previous model looked silly.
“Oh my… This design is quite nice,” Vados commented simply.
“I adjusted the suit’s height to about 1.8 meters to suit your future height,” Dr. Brief explained.
“If you don’t grow to 1.8 meters, it’ll be a tragedy,” Vados teased.
“Then I’ll use the Dragon Balls to grow five more centimeters,” Ren rolled his eyes.
Do you hear yourself?
Ren didn’t know how tall he would grow.
Whatever.
It’s not important.
The suit’s height felt natural, as if it was part of his body, giving him immense strength.
Ren raised his left mechanical arm.
“Click!”
A button popped out.
Ren pressed the button.
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, the suit disappeared, merging into the watch.
Ren returned to his original child form.
The watch was reinforced with angelic power, ensuring it wouldn’t break during battle.
“Thank you, Doctor,” Ren said sincerely.
“You’re welcome. Your strange items help my research,” Dr. Brief said with a smile.
“Now… we should go back,” Vados suggested, “Thank you for hosting us this week.”
“You’re welcome. Visit anytime,” Dr. Brief replied.
“Ren, don’t go! Stay and go to school with me… I’m about to start elementary school,” Bulma held Ren’s hand, reluctant to let go.
Ren quickly freed his hand and jumped onto Vados’s back.
Your words are heartbreaking.
I’ve graduated college, and you want me to attend elementary school?
You might as well kill me!
Following Vados is much better!
“Hmph! I hate you!” Bulma pouted, upset.
“I’ll never go to elementary school. Saiyans don’t do that,” Ren shook his head. “Bulma, study hard!”
Bulma pouted, then looked at Broly.
Broly twitched his mouth and said two words, “Not going!”
Bulma was speechless.
“When will you come back to play with me?” Bulma asked.
“What’s the best age for a girl?” Ren pondered.
“Oh my… For Earthlings, it should be
16,” Vados answered.
“Then I’ll come back when you’re 16,” Ren said, giving Bulma a hug.
“Promise?” Bulma asked seriously.
“I’ll wait for you to marry me,” Bulma said seriously.
Ren: “…”
I’m going to marry Vados when I grow up.
Not you!
“Well… we’ll see,” Ren said vaguely, jumping back onto Vados and wrapping his tail around her slender waist.
“Uh… When I grow up, I’ll marry Cheelai…” Broly muttered, blushing.
Then Broly stood obediently beside Vados.
“Let’s go,” Vados tapped her staff on the ground.
“Whoosh!”
A brilliant light covered the three of them.
“Whoosh!”
Vados flew into the sky with Ren and Broly, disappearing instantly.
Bulma watched them disappear, her eyes full of longing.
“Bulma, Ren is destined to become a god,” Dr. Brief said.
“Then I’ll become a goddess,” Bulma declared.
Dr. Brief: “…”
…
Two hours later.
Vados brought Ren and Broly to the edge of Universe 7 and smoothly entered the Null Realm.
Passing by Universe 18, Vados glanced quickly in that direction but soon looked away.
Even with a quick glance, Vados could clearly see the newly restored Universe 18.
It was still too small.
As the Grand Priest said, it was just a rudimentary form.
Apart from one star and a white planet, there was nothing else.
Such a universe needs a long time to develop.
Shouldn’t the newly restored Universe 18 need a Supreme Kai first?
Choosing a God of Destruction now seems premature.
But Vados didn’t dwell on it.
Angels don’t like to meddle.
That’s the Grand Priest’s job, not mine.
The only thing Vados regretted now was the effort needed to train Ren’s angelic power.
“Vados, is that the newly born universe?” Ren pointed to Universe 18 in the distance, asking casually.
Ren and Merus had noticed that strange universe when they passed this area.
They even landed on the white planet to check it out.
Ren sensed angelic power on that white planet.
“Yes,” Vados answered simply. “Sometimes new universes are born.”
“So, what’s the plan for the new universe?” Ren asked.
“That’s the Grand Priest’s concern, not ours,” Vados laughed.
Ren: “…”
They traveled for a while longer.
“Whoosh!”
Vados brought Ren and Broly into Universe 6.
“Welcome to Universe 6,” Vados smiled.
Broly pretended to look around as if understanding where they were.
“You mentioned before that Universe 7 and Universe 6 are mirror universes, right?” Ren asked.
“Yes,” Vados nodded.
“So there are Saiyans in Universe 6 too?” Ren asked knowingly.
“Yes,” Vados replied. “But the Saiyans in Universe 6 are different. Most Saiyans in Universe 7 were evil, leading to their destruction. But the Saiyans here in Universe 6 are just and often maintain peace in the universe.”
“Can you take me to the Saiyan planet?” Ren asked eagerly.
Since he came to Universe 6, he had to see Planet Sadala.
Not visiting Planet Sadala would feel like a wasted trip to the Dragon Ball world.
“Maybe another time,” Vados said seriously. “Your priority should be refining your angelic power, not sightseeing. Once your power reaches a certain level, you can visit Planet Sadala yourself.”
“Your words make sense, but I wish they made more sense,” Ren said thoughtfully.
Vados: “???”
I’m confused.
“Alright, let’s go to your place first,” Ren agreed. “But from now on, your bed is mine.”
Vados: “…”
“Oh my, you’ll be disappointed. We angels never sleep, so I don’t have a bed,” Vados laughed.
Ren was speechless.
“Did you ever see me sleep on Earth?” Vados asked.
“What do you do at night?” Ren was curious.
“Watch TV,” Vados smiled. “Earth’s TV shows are quite interesting, especially with snacks. It’s very enjoyable.”
“I’ll give you a massage next time, it’ll be more enjoyable,” Ren said, eyeing Vados’s body.
“Sounds reasonable,” Vados didn’t think much of it.
“What do you watch? I remember nighttime shows aren’t very wholesome,” Ren mused.
“A kid like you doesn’t understand…” Vados scolded softly.
“Let’s watch together next time,” Ren suggested.
Vados didn’t respond, speeding up.
Half an hour later.
“Whoosh!”
Vados brought Ren and Broly to the God of Destruction’s realm in Universe 6.
“See that upside-down pyramid planet? That’s Champa’s planet,” Vados pointed out.
“Got it,” Ren nodded, burying his head in Vados’s neck and taking a deep breath.
Vados: “…”
A brief silence.
Vados looked at Broly.
Broly: “???”
“Broly, remember not to mess with Lord Champa, the God of Destruction here,” Vados warned.
Broly nodded vigorously.
I’m not stupid!
I can’t beat a God of Destruction yet.
The last God of Destruction beat me badly.
I need to stay low for now.
“Whoosh!”
Vados descended onto Champa’s planet with Ren and Broly.
“Lord Champa, I’m back,” Vados called out.
But there was no response.
“Oh my… Lord Champa isn’t home. Maybe he went out or is working,” Vados didn’t mind.
Broly looked around curiously.
Ren had some understanding of Champa’s planet from watching the anime and manga.
Champa’s planet, like Beerus’s, was an upside-down pyramid with several bright suns and moons above.
No, not all were suns. Some were decorative planets, mainly for aesthetics.
The ground was covered in blue grass, giving it a heavenly feel.
“Vados, show me your room,” Ren said.
Vados: “…”
…
Universe 7, Galactic Patrol Headquarters.
Merus returned with Majin Buu.
“Merus, you’re alive? We thought you were dead,” Jaco greeted warmly. “I cried for days and gained weight at your memorial.”
Merus: “…”
Merus glanced at Majin Buu.
Based on Broly’s setting, shouldn’t you be beating Jaco up right now?
But Majin Buu didn’t react.
Merus felt disheartened.
Just then.
“Memorial? I want to eat,” Majin Buu patted his belly, realizing what was happening.
Merus was speechless.
What kind of God of Destruction am I raising?
Training a God of Destruction is not easy.
