Chapter 323 A New Wish
Details: The movie of the week is Dragon Ball Super: Broly. This particular movie is set after the events of the Dragon Ball Super series. The plot revolves around the initial discovery of Broly (currently known as Broly version 2), a Saiyan with incredible potential and untamed power, who was banished to a desolate planet as a baby due to his uncontrollable strength. Years later, Broly and his father Paragus are found by two Frieza Force soldiers, and they are brought back to civilization. Frieza, the villainous ruler of the Universe, sees Broly as a formidable asset and decides to pit him against Goku and Vegeta. A climactic battle ensues on Earth, with the trio of Saiyans pushing their limits to confront the relentless and savage power of Broly.
Mission: Assist Cheelai in securing the Dragon Balls from Frieza's spaceship and make the wish to save Broly.]
Dante and Beatrice appeared in the frozen regions of Earth, where the climactic battle between Broly and Gogeta Blue was ongoing. The moment they appeared, they saw over 300,000 players also here, fighting each other or fighting against the main duo.
After all, this was an immersive event where one could affect the outcome of events freely depending on their power. Dante even saw many veteran players casually utilizing mastered Ultra Instinct to push back Gogeta, while other players were also suppressing Broly slightly.
The chaos was great and frankly quite annoying. Unlike a couple of years ago when Dante could only feel suppressed by the power of these people, he now had no fear. They may far surpass him in stats due to the nature of the world they were in, but he far surpassed them in the absoluteness and superiority of his power.
"Shall we go and secure the Dragon Balls ahead of time, or should we partake in the fight?" Dante asked Beatrice with a smile.
Beatrice glanced at the tumultuous fights in the sky and on the ground and scoffed. "I like fighting, but not against posers. Most of these guys never learned the martial arts courses from Master Roshi and the like, just relying on their brute forces and powerful energy attacks. I never enjoyed fighting such noobs even as a player before, much less now."
Dante nodded and opened a 6th Rank portal that led right into the heart of Frieza.s spaceship, which was casually parked on the ice. One could see that all around Frieza's spaceship were crazy fights between players and between Frieza Force soldiers, as other players also had the clever idea of seizing the Dragon Balls before the moment within the plot reached that stage.
Even within the spaceship itself, one could see players fighting in the large halls and circular passageways. The Frieza Force soldiers could barely hold them back as it was, and the players were ever nearing the main chamber where the Dragon Balls were held.
Meanwhile, Dante and Beatrice directly stepped into the main chamber and glanced at the glowing golden balls that seemed to contain unspeakable power. Dante casually picked them up and placed them within his quantum space.
"Hmm, why not replicate them so we don't have to come back?" Beatrice suggested after thinking for a bit.
Dante shook his head. Will bite us in the ass. The kind of power needed to fuel this damned thing is not a joke. It's not worth it to bring it to reality."
Ha... Dante was currently like any of us, an adult who was now 'paying the bills'. Previously, Etz Chaim was paying all his fills' silently, so he didn't understand the value of things as well as the repercussions, but now that he had been given a full rundown, he was starting to be more careful with his 'money'.
Beatrice realized this and chuckled teasingly, making Dante feel awkward. He coughed and opened a portal to the fight outside, intending to wait for the poignant moment rather than do it now and have to fight all the various players around.
Once outside, they waited patiently even as the ice around them shook and cracked from the blows, as mountain ranges blew up from stray energy blasts, and even as the icy region turned into lava due to the tumultuous battle.
Even though the players interfered, it was for both sides, so in the end, apart from some slight changes, everything developed naturally. The pro-Gogeta players held off the pro-Broly players while the two faced off, and Gogeta finally performed his finishing move 'Meteor Explosion' on Broly.
Finally, Cheelai was rushing through the ship looking for the Dragon Balls, being assisted by players as they held off the Frieza forces. After all, regardless of Pro-Broly or Pro-Gogeta, the aim of the event was to save Broly, so they had to help her at this point.
When they reached the main chamber and saw that they were gone, everyone was first shocked, with Cheelai almost falling into despair. However, they saw the still open portal and Dante as well as Beatrice on the other side who smiled and forked a finger over the group.
Dante placed the Dragon Balls on the ground from his quantum space, causing all eyes to follow them. Cheelai cheered and rushed through the portal quickly, first trying to grab the balls and then realizing she didn't know how to use them.
Luckily, Beatrice was there to help her as she made the chant to Shenron for him to make the wish. When the dragon appeared in his usual flashy way, he focused on Beatrice first since she was the one to summon him.
Beatrice nodded to Cheelai who hastily made her pleading wish to Shenron, which was granted as Broly was whisked away, saved from being hit with the ultimate Kamehameha wave, much to Gogeta's surprise.
Dante casually opened a portal that led to Cheelai's ship allowing the green alien to rush through with her ally and escape. Meanwhile, Shenron was still waiting for the other two wishes, and the eyes of players around became red as this was the moment of truth.
A battle was about to break out, and it would be a very bloody one. Many who had been resting and recovering energy during this 'cutscene' bit were now exploding into their various transformations and raising their energy to the max.
"Will you do the honors?" Beatrice asked Dante casually.
"Meh, I've done this hundreds of times over the last year. It's going to be nice to flex it on actual beings this time, even if they are overpowered game avatars." Dante replied with a chuckle.
He watched the various players who could wait no longer and began charging at them crazily with their full power, moving so fast that they were leaving afterimages. In the end, he simply raised a hand and drew a circle in the air before snapping his fingers.
Immediately, a pulse spread out from his location that covered a large distance. All the incoming players felt this pulse, and it felt like they were lions that had been turned into cats.
Right away, they lost control of their energy and plummeted to the ground, crashing into the ice roughly, some even digging trenches due to how fast they were moving. Many could barely get up due to the sudden terror of losing complete access to their ki energy which was a large source of their power.
However, they were not totally crippled. Even though they lost access to their energy, their bodies were still tempered by their various training regimes, items, and equipment they had on. In fact, there were obviously those who opted for the Gohan type playstyle that focused more on technical skills and close combat fighting rather than the Vegeta style of relying on transformations and ki blast spamming.
They charged at Dante and Beatrice with their full force, intending to take them down. The duo casually smiled and activated their custom Bionics and Psionics to the maximum, gaining a 100x boost from the get-go.
Dante shot up to 200 million while Beatrice went up to 20 million. The two sudden increases in power caused space itself to quake, especially from the amount of energy they drained since they needed to maintain this power level.
With the Concoction of Absorption, no matter what power they reached, they would always have enough energy to supply them, which was why Dante customized this one personally. As such, neither of the two had to worry about energy nor hold back at all.
Beatrice did not use any weapons and relied on her fists, which was her classic fighting style, using the techniques from the Divine Empress Fist that allowed her to collate her blood qi into giant red fists that smashed down along with her human-sized fists.
Everyone she hit was sent flying, some directly bursting into blood mist and their body parts scattering across the lava mixed with ice. Many players tried to gang up on her to take her down once they recognized her threat, but she was easily able to weave through them as if she had her own Ultra Instinct transformation, which was not far off.
With her own Spirit Sense from her Luminous Ascension technique's second stage, she could easily see all the actions and choices of everyone besieging her. If you, without spirit sense, managed to score a hit on a person with one without having a significant speed advantage, it would be a miracle of the highest order.
While Beatrice was handling these fools, some decided to be smart and charge at Dante who stood before Shenron, ready to make the next two wishes. After all, Dante couldn't afford to be distracted when making the wishes, nor could they allow him to succeed in the first place.
Dante glanced at them askance and simply cast an 8th Rank Spatial Domain spell. This greatly stretched the space between them, making it such that the simple 100 or so meters it would take to reach Dante had turned into the distance one would need to travel between planets.
So one could see a funny scene of players rushing at Dante who seemed to have stooped in place despite their legs furiously moving forward and their voices echoing with battle cries as well as threats and insults.
Done with the cretins, Dante faced Shenron casually and addressed the now impatient dragon that was gearing to leave.
"Shenron, for the second wish, I want you to fix all the superpowers within my wife, Beatrice." Dante requested while gesturing to Beatrice who was still fighting.
Shenron spent a moment in silence until his eyes flashed with a red color. In a deep voice, the dragon spoke: "Your wish has been granted."
Beatrice suddenly paused through her fight as her face changed greatly. She could feel a strange energy pervade her body that angled toward her soul space and touched the three manifestations of her superpowers.
This energy, prior to the Quantum Ascendant Bond, would have caused her to obtain severe quantum poisoning, but now worked on her much like it did for Dante, causing her broken superpowers to be fixed.
Feeling the power she had lost returning to her, and becoming even stronger than she ever felt before, Beatrice couldn't help but feel extremely emotional. These superpowers tied her to her mother, and she did not want to lose them, not to mention they had been her biggest reliance all her life till now.
Players struck her body during her period of time paused, but all the damage they managed to do to her was immediately regenerated as if she was reverting time around her form.
When Beatrice came to, she immediately killed all of the offending players before turning to Dante to see what his wish was because even she did not know what he wanted.
Dante looked up to Shenron and smiled. Then he spoke his wish."
