A Saiyan's Journey

"Kid, it seems like you're in a good mood. The refinement of your magical power has become much smoother."

In the Dragon Ball world, Moro looked at the magical power Zuke had refined and revealed a smile—though no matter how you looked at it, the smile was menacing.

"Very good, keep this state up—when your mental state is affected, your control over magical power will also weaken."

"Does magical power have something to do with mood?"

Zuke was somewhat curious because the magical power in his body came from the magical conversion of the Type-Moon world. So, when he practiced magical power, he couldn't help but think of the Type-Moon world's magical energy.

In the Type-Moon world, magicians didn't know what it meant to be in a good mood. Most magicians had a bitter and resentful demeanor, making one wonder if they even knew what a smile was.

But it seems that the magical power in the Dragon Ball world is different. Can mood really affect the control of magical power?

"I don't know about others, but at least when I'm in a good mood, using magical power becomes easier—so all my actions are to satisfy myself."

Moro sneered as he shared his feelings—his magical power was innate, so what he taught Zuke was naturally his own experience in using magical power.

"That's why I keep devouring planets. To me, it's just a normal act of feeding, though it seems to upset those Kaioshins."

The duty of the Kaioshins in the Dragon Ball world is to oversee the development of planetary civilizations. Someone like Moro, who casually turns planets into dead worlds, is naturally a thorn in their side.

However, Moro doesn't see anything wrong with what he's doing. His actions are merely satisfying his own hunger, something he considers entirely justified.

"The weak are meant to be devoured by the strong, just as many human civilizations treat weaker animals as food. Is that a crime?"

Moro's voice was filled with resentment toward the Galactic Patrol and the Kaioshins—if he ever got the chance to escape the Galactic Prison, he would definitely seek revenge on the Kaioshins.

But Moro probably doesn't know yet that of the several Kaioshins from before, only one remains now.

His arch-nemesis—the Grand Kaioshin—has already been eaten by Majin Buu, along with the divine power he had left, which was inherited by Majin Buu.

Even decades later, that divine power would be transferred to an ordinary human boy after the death of Kid Buu.

Hearing this, Zuke remained silent—this was a topic he couldn't comment on.

On one hand, he genuinely didn't know how to judge Moro's thoughts. On the other hand, he was worried that any remarks he made here might be overheard by the Galactic Patrol.

Moro's prison certainly wasn't without surveillance. Even though the Galactic Patrol allowed Zuke to be alone with Moro, they would still monitor the situation.

If Zuke expressed an opinion about Moro's statements here, the Galactic Patrol would definitely hear it.

He wouldn't care if the ordinary Galactic Patrol members heard him, as their strength was inferior to even the average Saiyan. Even if they heard him, they posed no threat.

But among the Galactic Patrol was Merus, which made Zuke tread carefully—if Merus deemed him a threat, he might be locked up prematurely.

"Hmph, boring kid."

Seeing that Zuke didn't respond, Moro snorted coldly, seemingly finding the situation dull.

"Keep practicing. Quickly learn what you want to learn, and then get me out of here. I really don't want to stay in this damned place for another day."

If it weren't for the information about the "Dragon Balls" that Zuke brought, Moro wouldn't feel so restless even if he continued to stay in prison.

But now that he knows there's hope of escaping, Moro can't sit still and is eager for Zuke to release him as soon as possible.

...

"You've worked hard, Mr. Zuke."

Three hours later, Zuke walked out of Moro's prison and saw Merus waiting for him at the entrance.

Merus wore his usual smile, seemingly unchanged, but Zuke knew that he must have heard what Moro had said to him.

Moro's words weren't casual; he was likely testing Zuke's values to see if he would agree with his perspective.

If Zuke had agreed, Moro might have trusted him more and considered forming an alliance.

From the original story, it's clear that Moro isn't a lone wolf; he's willing to accept the loyalty of subordinates.

However, since Zuke didn't respond, Moro probably wouldn't trust him too much—but he wouldn't stop teaching him magical techniques.

After all, this was a transaction, the condition for Zuke to use the Dragon Balls to free him from prison. Moro wouldn't dare to hold back too obviously.

"Next, let's head to the spaceship you mentioned for training."

Merus led Zuke out of the Galactic Prison—though Zuke had said he brought his spaceship, Merus hadn't yet seen what it looked like.

It definitely wouldn't be a spherical spaceship. The spherical ships of Frieza's army were too small; even one person had to crouch to fit inside, making them unsuitable for training.

Soon, Zuke and Merus arrived at the landing pad outside the Galactic Patrol headquarters—a place filled with Galactic Patrol ships of various sizes, the ships for patrol missions.

But this time, in the center of the landing pad, stood something entirely different from the usual Galactic Patrol ships—it was the cubic spaceship Zuke had brought.

Originally, Zuke had planned to fly the cubic spaceship to the Dragon Ball world today.

But then he thought, since he could use instant transmission to reach the Galactic Patrol headquarters, why bother flying the ship? Why not just use instant transmission to bring the ship along?

Instant transmission can transport both people and objects. Zuke only needed to touch the cubic spaceship and use instant transmission to bring it to the destination.

This would save the time it would take for the cubic spaceship to fly from King Kai's planet to the Galactic Patrol headquarters.

And indeed, as Zuke had planned, he successfully brought the cubic spaceship to the Galactic Patrol headquarters' landing pad, saving a lot of time.

When Merus arrived and saw the cubic spaceship, his expression changed slightly:

"Mr. Zuke, this cubic spaceship is...?"

As an apprentice angel, Merus certainly knew about cubic spaceships. They were the vehicles of the Gods of Destruction and the angels, with only two or three in the entire universe.

But he never expected that Zuke, a Saiyan, would have one in his possession.
