Before him, countless shimmering spheres floated like a starfield. Smith Dole noticed something curious: unlike the character lottery, previously acquired items had not disappeared.
But when his eyes fell on the orbs for Android 8 and Android 16, he froze.
"Wait… these count as items too?"
After a moment's thought, it made sense. They were entirely mechanical constructs. Categorizing them as items wasn't illogical. Android 16, with his staggering 1.1 billion power level, would be an absolute monster at this stage—untouchable. But his orb lay buried deep within the meteor field, far out of reach for now.
Still, there were treasures aplenty. Some were so deeply shrouded he couldn't even make them out.
He raised his hand, launched a blazing Kamehameha, and shattered one of the spheres.
"Congratulations! You have obtained the Fruit of the Tree of Might."
Smith blinked. For a long moment he simply stared.
The Tree of Might Fruit—a divine delicacy said to be reserved only for the Supreme Kais.
In the movie, the Saiyan warrior Turles had cultivated the Tree across countless worlds, devouring fruit after fruit until his power rose to 30,000—surpassing even Vegeta during the Saiyan invasion. On Earth, however, the fruit was exponentially more potent. A single bite multiplied his power tenfold, skyrocketing him from 30,000 to 300,000.
Earth's abundance meant that one fruit drained only a region, not the entire planet.
Smith's mind raced. If the fruit's potency truly depended on planetary life force, then cultivating it in the Supreme Kai Realm would yield unimaginable results.
This fruit, however, was only one. Still, he wondered—like ordinary fruit, did it contain seeds? Could it be planted, nurtured into a sapling, perhaps an entire Tree of Might?
If so, then he held the key to cosmic agriculture—an endless cycle of cultivation and consumption, multiplying strength without limit.
And unlike the Chakra God Tree, which demanded millennia of growth and ritual sacrifices, the Tree of Might sprouted instantly and bore fruit within days. No side effects, no waiting centuries. Just pure, accelerated evolution.
The only downside—it violated the natural balance. To plant it on Earth would doom ecosystems.
But the possibility burned in his mind. If the fruit bore a seed, he could sow it elsewhere in the cosmos. If not, he could still consume it himself. Either way, he had struck gold.
Satisfied, he turned his focus to the final draw: the Partner Lottery.
Last time, he had drawn Korin—an invaluable ally, cultivating Senzu Beans and brewing Ultra Divine Water. That alone had raised his faction's strength.
He opened the pool again.
The orbs glowed, revealing a bizarre array: Ox-King, the Turtle, Oolong, Pilaf, the Tournament Announcer, Dende, the Namekian Elder, King Yemma… and deeper within, astonishing figures—Android 17, Android 18, Mai, Shu, Zamasu, Babidi, Old Kai, Evil Shenron, Ultimate Shenron, Whis…
Smith's pulse quickened at the sight of Android 18. Who among Dragon Ball fans hadn't envied Krillin for winning her heart? Even with Bulma and Fox at his side, the thought stirred something inside him. But her orb lay far in the depths, unreachable—for now.
He steadied his breath. Among the surface orbs, one glowed brighter: the Tournament Announcer. Compared to Oolong or the Turtle, at least he had professional utility.
Smith fired his Kamehameha, shattering an orb.
"Congratulations! You have obtained Partner Card: World Martial Arts Tournament Announcer!"
Smith sighed. Compared to Bulma or Korin, the announcer was modest. Still, he had his uses—Eddie Brock would no longer need to serve as host.
Two out of three wishes had borne incredible fruit. That was already a windfall. Greed was dangerous.
Just as he prepared to leave the system space, a new notification appeared:
"Dragon Ball Creator Smith Dole, your battle power nears 10,000. Shenron's abilities have greatly advanced. Please select the direction of Shenron's evolution:
Ultimate Shenron – Possesses overwhelming wish power, capable of altering even the strong against their will, changing age or form. (Limitation: if Dragon Balls are not gathered within the set period, the planet will explode.)
Namekian Shenron – Grants three wishes, but can only revive one person per wish.
Dende's Earth Shenron – Can revive multiple people at once, with two wishes per summoning."
Smith's eyes gleamed. The choice before him was monumental.
