Dragon Ball: Ultimate Selection System

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of eliminating all members of the Turle Legion and destroying the Tree of Might. Reward: 10 Tree of Might fruits and a fifty-times gravity chamber]

[Ding! The reward has been placed in the system space and can be withdrawn at any time]

After Link defeated Turles and revived Planet Vegeta, three days had passed.

In those three days, the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta, led by Vegeta(king), had begun rebuilding the royal capital. The Saiyan palace, which had been destroyed by Turles and his group, was the first structure to undergo repairs.

Suddenly, a knock at the door disturbed their rest.

"King Link, Vegeta and the others want to see you," Broly's voice from outside.

Link opened his eyes lazily and sat up in bed. "Got it, Broly. Tell them to meet me in the council chamber. I'll be there in a moment."

As Link stretched and moved to get up, Hanasia wrapped her long legs around him like a snake, her playful gaze locking on him. "Your Majesty, ignore them. I still want—"

Before she could finish, Link's firm voice interrupted her. "That's enough," he said, gently pushing her away. "Get up too. We're going to see King Vegeta and the others."

Hanasia was the first female Saiyan he had met upon returning to Planet Vegeta and since become his concubine, enjoying his favor.

Seeing Link's serious expression for the first time in days, Hannasia nodded quickly. "Yes, Your Majesty."

A short while later, Link, accompanied by Hanasia and Broly—now his personal bodyguard—arrived at the council chamber. Inside, Vegeta, Bardock, and Paragus were already waiting.

The three had gathered to report on the reconstruction progress and seek Link's instructions for the future of Planet Vegeta.

Over the years, many changes had been postponed due to Link's five-year slumber. Now that he had returned, it was time to set his plans in motion.

His first command was to lift the restriction on space travel, allowing Saiyans to explore the universe freely. He also tasked Paragus with creating new laws to guide the Saiyan race, which had long relied solely on strength and power to determine rank.

Link's ultimate goal was ambitious: to rebuild the Saiyan race into a force that could rival the gods themselves. He envisioned legions of Super Saiyans, Super Saiyan 2, and even Super Saiyan Gods.

Though the Saiyans were currently weak compared to the greater universe, Link was determined. He imagined a future where he would lead an empire powerful enough to stand against even the God of Destruction, the angels, or Zeno….ok maybe not Zeno but who knows.

But for this dream to become a reality, Link knew the Saiyans needed to rediscover their roots. From what he remembered of Dragon Ball's history, the ancient Saiyans had produced both Super Saiyans and Super Saiyan Gods. Yet, the current Saiyan race, apart from outliers like himself and Broly, had grown weak and primitive.

He believed this decline was due to the Saiyans becoming overly warlike and barbaric. Ancient Saiyans had been peaceful which also fulfilled the conditions needed for transformations: S-cells and a heart of justice.

S-cells, essential for achieving Super Saiyan forms, thrived in a calm, stable environment. Similarly, a pure heart of justice was a need for becoming a Super Saiyan God.

Though Vegeta was able to do it with just training so other ways might be possible to.

This made it clear that the Saiyans of the past had been vastly different from their present-day counterparts. Over time factors had corrupted their once-noble nature, reducing them to the bloodthirsty warriors they were now.

Link's mission was clear: to guide the Saiyans back to their original strength and values. Though the process would be challenging, it was not impossible. He believed the younger generation of Saiyans would play a key role in this transformation.

[Ding! The system has detected the host's desire to improve the Saiyan race's strength and has activated the selection option process!]

[Option 1: Within one year, ensure the combat power of more than 1,000 Saiyans exceeds 10,000. Reward: 5 tubes of S-cell reagent. Each tube increases S-cells in a Saiyan by 20%]

[Option 2: Within one year, ensure the combat power of more than 50 Saiyans exceeds 100,000. Reward: A Hyperbolic Time Chamber]

[Option 3: Within one year, ensure the combat power of more than 5 Saiyans exceeds 500,000. Reward: Talent: Martial Arts Genius, granting a 30% chance to instantly learn techniques after observing them]

Link's expression remained calm, but his mind was already at work. He had noticed a pattern in the system: it always appeared when he faced a critical decision.

This time, the choices were clear, each more difficult but with greater rewards.

The first option promised the creation of a third Super Saiyan besides himself and Broly.

The second offered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, an invaluable training resource.

The third was the most tempting. The ability to instantly learn techniques would allow Link to quickly master ultimate combat moves.

After a moment of contemplation, Link smirked slightly. "Looks like things are about to get interesting," he murmured, ready to make his choice.

*[Note]*: Dragon Ball's power levels became inconsistent in later arcs, so some things have been adjusted to match the future plots of this fanfic. Please excuse any inconsistencies to the original plot.. So basically this is a AU now I guess.
