Chapter 102 Supreme Kai Realm
While Turles pondered making Universe 7 compete harder, the finals neared conclusion.
Since Paragus didn't participate, the final bracket only had Nappa, Raditz, and Bela—three people.
Given Raditz and Bela's special relationship, the final match became Nappa versus Raditz—these two old rivals' showdown.
Nappa tossed the microphone aside, showing Raditz a ferocious smile, then began walking toward the platform.
However, this time facing Nappa's provocation, Raditz didn't retreat like usual. Instead, he showed a mysterious smile, strolling leisurely onto the platform.
Watching Raditz's performance, Nappa—extremely familiar with him—also suppressed his smile, staring at his opponent warily.
"Raditz, seems you're very confident about this battle!"
After watching Raditz awhile, Nappa's face suddenly showed another smile as he probed.
Raditz remained deaf to Nappa's words, still maintaining his smile, standing loosely in place, meeting Nappa's gaze.
Seeing nothing gained from probing, Nappa stopped wasting words. He directly exploded his aura—80,000 battle power erupting completely.
After exploding his aura, Nappa held nothing back, charging toward Raditz at full speed.
In contrast, Raditz still made no movements. Just watched Nappa.
In the stands, seeing Raditz's performance, Turles also felt somewhat strange. Regarding Raditz's strength, he knew it too well. He'd even abandoned training Raditz, just treating him as an ordinary Saiyan.
"Interesting!"
Just then, Whis suddenly said this.
"Hmm?" Hearing Whis's words, Turles immediately turned, looking at him somewhat puzzled.
Seeing Turles look over, Whis smiled, showing a meaningful expression. "Sometimes, what ki sensing perceives isn't as clear as what eyes see!"
Hearing this, Turles's brow immediately furrowed. But soon, as if thinking of something, he looked at the platform with disbelief, murmuring softly. "Could Raditz have done it?"
Events seemingly responded to Turles's thoughts. Just as Turles looked toward the platform, Raditz suddenly exploded his aura. His body began changing.
Bang!
Raditz easily caught Nappa's fist with one hand. Under the other's disbelieving expression, he simply pushed lightly—Nappa's body directly flew backward.
Flying backward, Nappa didn't care he'd already exited the arena. He just stared straight at Raditz, seemingly still disbelieving, mouth continuously repeating. "Impossible! This is impossible!"
Besides Nappa, everyone present was also stunned by the current Raditz. They first looked at Turles. Seeing even Turles showed an astonished expression, they finally believed what they witnessed.
"This can't be possible, right? Didn't Turles help him beforehand?" A young Saiyan still somewhat disbelieved.
"Impossible! How could Lord Turles do such a thing? Plus, if helping Raditz, why wouldn't he help Lord Nappa?"
Hearing someone question Turles, another even younger Saiyan immediately refuted.
"But that's Raditz! Besides Lord Turles, who else on Red Stone can master that ability?"
The refuted Saiyan's face couldn't handle it. He immediately argued reasonably.
"You...!"
Stand discussions didn't affect Raditz's current mood. He walked with an arrogant gait, slowly approaching Nappa, raising his eyebrows at him, saying proudly. "How about it? Familiar?"
Nappa looked at the proud Raditz with complex eyes. After a long while, he finally released a long sigh. "Never thought you'd complete it first. I've lost!"
"Hehehe! Didn't expect it, did you? I didn't either! But I did it—before all of you. Only I can complete humanoid Great Ape transformation like Boss without help!"
Hearing Nappa concede, Raditz immediately grew excited. He'd maintained this act so long precisely for this moment—how could he not be thrilled?
That's right—Raditz had currently transformed into humanoid Great Ape form, moreover completing it without Turles's assistance.
Under humanoid Great Ape form's 10x battle power amplification, naturally Nappa couldn't match Raditz.
Red Stone's first martial arts tournament thus concluded with Raditz's sudden explosive performance.
Turles didn't appear at the subsequent awards ceremony. So he didn't know how much the three improved after using Spirit Tree fruit. Because currently, he'd already appeared at Supreme Kai Realm.
---
Supreme Kai Realm.
Swish!
Turles and Whis's figures suddenly materialized at Supreme Kai Realm.
Just appearing at Supreme Kai Realm, Turles couldn't help looking around everywhere, observing in all directions.
This was Turles's first visit to Supreme Kai Realm. Though previously he could sense Supreme Kai Shin's aura location, due to strength disparity, he didn't dare casually come here. After all, Supreme Kai Shin's attendant Kibito was someone who extremely looked down on mortals.
Speaking of this, Turles inwardly scorned Supreme Kai Shin again. As a deity on par with God of Destruction, actually letting a mortal sense his aura—truly a failed god!
However, now with Whis, Turles naturally didn't fear Supreme Kai Shin and his attendant Kibito. Moreover, with his current strength—if exploding all methods—he might not lose to both.
However, Turles only observed briefly before feeling somewhat disappointed.
Because this so-called Supreme Kai Realm was merely a massive planet. Moreover, this planet appeared somewhat desolate. Besides grassland, just some barren mountain ranges.
"This is Supreme Kai Realm? Why does it look worse than Red Stone's scenery?"
After watching awhile, Turles couldn't help complaining to Whis.
Facing Turles's complaint, Whis smiled elegantly, explaining. "The true Supreme Kai Realm isn't like this. It became this way after experiencing several great wars."
"If you truly become Supreme Kai candidate, might as well try repairing this divine star. It'll greatly help your future planet creation."
Hearing Whis say this, Turles curled his lips, continuing to complain. "This Supreme Kai position is truly remarkable—actually responsible for fighting too. I thought combat-type work was God of Destruction Lord Beerus's responsibility."
"Hehe!" Facing Turles's complaint about Beerus, Whis just smiled without refuting.
Speaking of which, this partly involved Beerus's fault too. If not for him suddenly sealing the 15th generation Old Kai, Supreme Kai inheritance wouldn't have broken. This caused subsequent generations receiving no proper education—not even knowing about God of Destruction, their nominal "colleague."
After complaining awhile, Turles glanced at Whis. Seeing he showed no reaction, he could only helplessly shake his head, then walk aside and begin releasing his aura.
So saying—Shin truly was a failed Supreme Kai. Guests arriving at his home without him knowing—requiring Turles releasing aura to alert him.
While Turles inwardly complained, his aura continuously climbed. Soon, his aura rose to 5 million.
Seeing that even at this level Shin and his attendant still hadn't appeared, Turles sighed again. Then taking a deep breath, he directly activated Super Saiyan transformation.
"Ha!"
A light shout—Turles's black hair directly became golden, black pupils becoming jade green. To maximally spread his aura, he didn't even suppress it. This made Turles's entire body wrap in golden flames.
"Wow! Is this Turles-san's new transformation? Truly looks much more handsome!"
Seeing Turles's transformation, Whis beside him somewhat exaggeratedly exclaimed, continuously praising Turles.
Hearing Whis's praise, Turles couldn't help rolling his eyes at him. How could he not hear Whis's underlying meaning?
Listen to that—"much more handsome." Did Super Saiyan exist just for good looks?
Seeing Turles roll his eyes, Whis understood Turles had already grasped Super Saiyan's drawbacks. This made his heart feel somewhat gratified.
As an angel, Whis naturally witnessed many races' transformation abilities. When these races possessed transformation abilities, most over-relied on transformation—thus neglecting normal-state strength improvement.
Super Saiyan possessed a 50x battle power multiplier. Under such tremendous amplification ability, Turles still maintained clear recognition—how could this not gratify Whis? This further solidified his determination training Turles as a prospect.
Talented (divine nature aura), thoughtful, hardworking—most importantly, clear self-awareness. These elements were all necessary conditions for becoming a strong individual.
Turles possessed them all.
After Turles fully released his aura, if Shin and Kibito still couldn't discover someone arriving at Supreme Kai Realm—that would truly be unreasonable. Then Whis would even consider releasing Old Kai or directly making Turles Supreme Kai.
Swish!
A light sound—finally, Universe 7's Supreme Kai Shin and his attendant Kibito appeared before Turles and Whis.
But just as Whis wanted to express greetings to Shin—this nominal Universe 7 supreme deity—Kibito spoke first:
"Who are you people? How did you reach Supreme Kai Realm? Leave quickly! You're not welcome here!"
Whis's half-bent body directly froze. Words at his lips couldn't emerge.
"Pfft!"
Turles beside him exited Super Saiyan form. Seeing Whis's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help laughing aloud.
Turles's laughter made Whis feel even more awkward. Just as he nearly couldn't resist using time reversal—returning to three minutes prior—Supreme Kai Shin finally spoke:
"Kibito, first ask how they reached Supreme Kai Realm. Babidi's been active recently. Better be careful!"
Kibito naturally obeyed Shin's words completely. Hearing Shin say this, he immediately reacted. His old face instantly grew stern, glaring at the uninvited Turles and Whis—as if fearing next second they'd harm Supreme Kai Shin.
Seeing Whis wanted to "silence witnesses," Turles quickly stepped forward, addressing Supreme Kai Shin:
"Hello, I'm Turles. I came to Supreme Kai Realm to become a Supreme Kai candidate. I hope to receive your guidance in future work!"
After speaking, Turles deeply bowed.
"Huh?"
