Chapter 104 – Super Divine Dragon, Immortal and Indestructible
"You've been a God of Destruction for so long, and you've never seen a Super Divine Dragon?" Lin Qi was visibly surprised as he looked at Champa and Quitela.
"What's so strange about that?" Vados smiled cheerfully at the Super Divine Dragon hovering in the air.
"Dragon Balls are something only the Namekians from Universe 6 and 7 know how to make!"
"And the Super Dragon Balls created by Lord Zalama aren't something that gets used lightly."
Lin Qi was even more shocked now. He asked curiously, "Then does Zalama have some major connection to the Namekians?"
"Heh..." Vados chuckled, but then her face turned serious as she stared intently at Lin Qi.
"Some things aren't good for a candidate to know too early."
"Tch..." Lin Qi curled his lip in annoyance. This Vados sure knew how to spoil the mood...
"Speak your wish," the Super Divine Dragon reminded them once again, its voice echoing with impatience. Did these people even understand urgency and priority?
They'd summoned him only to listen to their idle chatter?
"Hi there, Super Divine Dragon!" Champa waved at the Super Divine Dragon like a clueless child.
"What do you wish for?"
"Make this man's body immortal and indestructible," Quitela said with disdain, giving Champa a sidelong glance before pointing at Lin Qi.
"Immortal and indestructible... that means eternal life, right?!"
"Very well." The Super Divine Dragon's eyes glowed, and a soft light shot from its gaze, enveloping Lin Qi's body before quickly fading away.
"Your wish has been granted. Farewell."
With those words, the Super Divine Dragon spun in place, burst into dazzling light, and dispersed as Super Dragon Balls across the cosmos.
The speed was so fast that the group was momentarily stunned. That was it?!
"That's it?" Quitela's eyes darted around Lin Qi as he muttered in dissatisfaction, "He didn't even answer my question!"
"Lin Qi, do you feel anything?"
Lin Qi looked at his hands and shook his head. "Not really..."
"Is this Super Divine Dragon reliable or what?" Quitela now turned a suspicious gaze toward Champa.
Seeing that look, Champa swore, "Are you doubting our universe's specialty—the Super Dragon Balls?"
Shing!
Just then, Vados swung her staff toward Lin Qi. Even though he quickly dodged, a deep gash still appeared on his hand, blood gushing out.
"Vados, what the hell are you doing?" Quitela's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at her.
That was his universe's candidate—why attack him all of a sudden?
"Damn..." Feeling the pain in his hand, Lin Qi instantly transformed into Super 6 and launched a counterattack toward Vados.
But before someone who had mastered Ultra Instinct at its peak, Lin Qi's speed simply wasn't enough.
After all, his Super 6 form could only go toe-to-toe with someone like Beerus.
Vados, on the other hand, was even stronger than Whis—though that was from a thousand years ago!
Lin Qi's punches and kicks all landed in vain. At that moment, Vados pointed at his arm.
"Look."
At her words, everyone turned to look at Lin Qi's arm.
The still-bleeding wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye—and in an instant, it was completely gone.
"It worked..." Quitela smiled in satisfaction.
Lin Qi's immortality and indestructibility had officially taken effect!
Seeing the joy on Quitela's face, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
This was the first time he'd encountered a woman in the Dragon Ball world—and it had to be an angel...
An angel was still a woman, and he... had been beaten by one!
"Well, now I can finally relax," Quitela patted Lin Qi on the shoulder with a grin.
The sleeve on Lin Qi's arm had already been completely repaired by Cognac. Quitela stood proudly, hands on his hips. "Lin Qi, let's head back!"
"I'm not going back for now..." Lin Qi glanced subtly at Vados, then said to Quitela, "I want to continue my training until I fully master Ultra Instinct at its peak."
"Alright then!" Quitela replied without hesitation, "You can stay or go—your choice. Just remember to visit Universe 4 when you get the chance!"
"Alright, Cognac and I are heading back!" Quitela put his hands behind his head and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned around.
"When Beerus wakes up, be sure to beat the crap out of him for me!"
"Oh, and when you do, make sure to tell me—I want to see the look on his face while you're wrecking him!" Quitela grinned wickedly and left with Cognac.
"Another year of waiting..." Champa got up and walked toward his residence. "Guess I'll just sleep in for a year."
As everyone dispersed, Lin Qi looked at Vados, his gaze resolute. He was determined to defeat this woman one day!
"Why are you staring at me? Don't tell me you've fallen for me?" Vados asked, puzzled. Under her suspicious gaze, Lin Qi quickly teleported away.
Women... Hmph. Better not let them slow down his punches!
From that moment on, until he fully mastered Ultra Instinct at its peak, Lin Qi settled down in the Divine Realm of Universe 7.
During his free time, Whis developed a fondness for various kinds of food, so Lin Qi started visiting Earth more and more frequently.
Of course, in the Dragon Ball world, Senzu Beans were a must-have for any traveler.
At this point in time, there was no such thing as "no Senzu Beans."
Lin Qi had asked Korin for a big jar of them the very first time he visited Earth.
A literal water vat-sized jar—because this was still early in the timeline and Korin had plenty to spare!
No way was he letting that fat glutton Yajirobe get his hands on them!
Earth.
Lin Qi strolled leisurely through the bustling streets of Central City, occasionally catching snippets of conversation from the passersby.
"Did you hear? The 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin..."
"Yeah, too bad I'm just a broke loser with nothing but a pair of underwear—can't even afford a ticket..."
"So what? Watching on TV is just as good, isn't it?"
Lin Qi looked at the huge screen on the street corner. In the bottom left: May 7, 756.
"It really is the time of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament..." Lin Qi mused. After the tournament ended, Goku would marry Chi-Chi!
Thinking that, his eyes lit up. Banquet time!!
There must be loads of local delicacies in Mount Paozu!
Shing!
Lin Qi's figure vanished instantly, reappearing at the entrance of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament tournament grounds.
At that moment, a light rain was falling from the sky.
At the gate stood a girl holding an umbrella. Her long blue hair flowed down her back. She wore high heels and a tight miniskirt.
A young Bulma!
