The next day.
Sunlight shone brightly, a soft ray slipping through the glass window and warming the room.
In the living room—
Aishi was having breakfast, replenishing his energy.
Yesterday—
No.18 had, under the pretense of "helping Aishi win first place at the Tenkaichi Budokai," engaged in a friendly martial arts spar with him.
"Friendly," she claimed.
But during the process—
No.18 completely ignored martial virtue and used all sorts of dirty tricks.
And because of her infinite energy source—
Even for a Saiyan like him, it was hard to keep up.
He had only managed to claim victory by transforming into Super Saiyan.
"This won't do, absolutely won't do!"
At this rate, he was going to become nothing more than a plaything under No.18!
"Right, the Gogeta template progress should be over 50% by now, right?"
As the thought came to him—
Aishi quickly opened the system's personal template screen.
[Host: Aishi]
[Battle Power: 500 Trillion]
[Bloodline: Pure-blood Saiyan (Top-Tier)]
[Skills: Bukūjutsu (Flight), Ki Control, Kamehameha Daibakuhatsu (Big Explosion), 100x Super Kamehameha, Shenron's Thunder, Resonant Explosion, Divine Punishment, Ki Eye Beam, Glide Punishment, Clones...]
[Main Template: Gogeta · Super (Unlock Progress: 50%)]
[Sub-Template: Kibito (Unlocked)]
Since his farewell with Son Gokuu a year ago, the template progress had barely increased.
Despite training for so long, it had only just broken through the 50% mark.
A whole year—
And it only climbed from 45% to 50%.
That showed just how hard it was to unlock.
After consulting the system—
The explanation was: to speed up the unlocking progress of the main template, the host must participate in specific events related to the bound character.
In short—
What key events did Gogeta experience?
Obviously—Evil Janemba, Broly... that kind of stuff.
"Looks like increasing the template progress is going to be a long-term goal."
Aishi thought to himself.
Then—
He muttered inwardly:
"System, use up all four sub-template draws I've been saving!"
He'd saved them long enough—it was time.
"All right."
The system responded calmly.
Then—
[Ding! Detected that the host's main template has reached 50% unlock. Beginning random draw of four sub-templates...]
BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly, four boxes descended from the sky in front of Aishi.
"Open them!"
White, red, and gold—
[Congratulations! You have drawn the following sub-templates:
Mr. Satan, Tao Pai Pai, Unknown Template, Kaiōshin Shin]
Seeing the four drawn templates, Aishi's eyes lit up.
Not only was there gold, there was even red!
Though... the first two?
Mr. Satan?
Tao Pai Pai?
Still, following the philosophy of "digging gold from dirt," Aishi said:
"Open up their ability details."
"Understood."
The system responded, then—
[Mr. Satan]
Combat Ability: A single-arm swing can reach a shocking stat of 137; at full burst, can dodge missiles.
Durability: Can survive a punch from Perfect Cell and Majin Buu.
Wisdom & Courage: Calm under pressure even in the face of powerful foes; 70% survival rate.
Charisma: While equipped, increases charm greatly, can randomly cause bystanders to idolize you.
After reading it—
Aishi raised an eyebrow.
Not bad?
Especially that charisma boost.
"Next."
[Tao Pai Pai]
Skills: Super Dodonpa, Invisibility Technique, Dodon Hole Wave, Tongue Attack, Ki Wall.
Look what we have here—
Tongue Attack, Super Dodonpa, Invisibility?
Aishi's lips curled up.
Could have surprising effects in actual combat.
"Next."
Looking at the next one—"Unknown Template."
A red one, no less.
Definitely not simple.
[Unknown]
Skills: Hypnosis, Charm Hand, Kidney Boosting Technique, Time Stop, Critical Hit, Attack Speed…
"…?"
What the hell is this?
Aishi was stunned.
What kind of crazy stuff is this?
He had a hunch—
Isn't this just some hentai protagonist's skill set?
System, you really are something.
Hypnosis: Eye contact for 5 seconds induces hypnosis. Note: Only works on targets weaker than the host. Duration maxes out at 24 hours. Stronger targets can resist in seconds.
Charm Hand: Your touch will deliver astonishing sensations to enemies.
Kidney Boosting Technique: Mentally chant the mantra to boost kidney energy without upper limit. (Can be used as MP regen)
Time Stop: Consume energy to stop time for the target. Note: Energy cost scales with opponent's power.
Critical Hit: Increases crit rate by 90%. Every strike hits a fatal point.
Reading through these, Aishi's eyes gleamed.
Most people might just abuse these powers randomly.
But not him.
He saw the strategic potential.
In combat—
Imagine pulling out a Charm Hand mid-fight!
Wouldn't that blow them up mentally?
But of course, the most precious ability here…
Was Time Stop!
In the Dragon Ball world—
Time-based powers were absolutely broken!
Even Hit, with just a Time-Skip ability, became the top assassin in Universe 6.
And now he had actual Time Stop?
Totally busted!
The only downside—
The system said energy consumption depended on the opponent's strength.
So against Gods of Destruction or Angels, it might be useless.
He'd get drained instantly.
But against foes around his level or slightly stronger—it'd be devastatingly effective!
As for the last one—
Kaiōshin Shin.
Surely wouldn't be bad.
And after checking his abilities—it was just as expected.
[Kaiōshin Shin]
Skills: Bukūjutsu, Ki Blast, Healing, Instant Transmission (Top Tier), Telepathy, Creation, Planet Creation, Life Swap (exchange your life for someone else's resurrection).
These were excellent and totally worth using.
Especially Healing and Instant Transmission—absolute top-tier.
Better than Dende's or Kibito's healing.
And the Instant Transmission didn't even need ki sensing—could go anywhere.
As for Life Swap—
Aishi figured he'd never use it.
If it were others' lives for his, fine.
But giving up his own life?
No way.
Him being alive was their greatest trump card.
"System, remove Kibito. Equip Unknown."
Aishi said calmly in his mind.
"Confirmed."
The system replied.
Then Aishi immediately felt a surge of new powers awaken within him!
Let's try Time Stop first.
Aishi slowly closed his eyes.
——Zuuuuush!
The next moment—
A white, invisible aura expanded from within him, freezing everything around him.
Aishi opened his eyes.
At the moment, only his house had been stopped in time.
His energy expenditure was minimal—almost unnoticeable.
"Alright then, let's cover the entire Earth."
Without hesitation—
Aishi spread his ki to the limit.
——ZUUUUSH!!!
In an instant—
The entire Earth was enveloped in a greyish aura—everything frozen.
Now Aishi could feel it.
His ki was starting to noticeably drain.
"Probably because of people like Gokuu. But it's acceptable."
"Still not that bad—I can maintain it for at least 8 minutes!"
Aishi muttered.
Onward!
He kept expanding his ki outward—beyond Earth.
Solar System.
Small star clusters.
Even at this point, the drain was barely felt.
That meant there were no beings stronger than him in those areas.
But when Aishi's ki covered the entire North Galaxy—
Something happened.
——ZUUUUSH!
His ki plummeted instantly!
He could now only maintain the time stop for a few seconds.
"Holy crap!"
That could only mean one thing—
Someone in the North Galaxy had a power close to or above his!
Not daring to linger, Aishi immediately canceled the time stop.
"Whew…"
His face was filled with surprise.
If it were the South Galaxy, it'd be understandable—there's Broly over there.
But this was the North Galaxy, bro!
What the hell?
Was there really someone that powerful here?
Aishi frowned, completely puzzled.
