Ringo quickly returned to normal, his skin reverting to a pale white, but his pink hair didn't return. Tired of that look, Ringo simply kept his black hair, his eyes with red irises also turned black, he looked much more ordinary that way.
Not only that, but he grew a light beard and squared his jawline, his physique also went from that of an Olympic swimmer to that of an MMA fighter. The only thing that didn't change was his pale white skin.
The punk look was fun for a while, but he got tired of it and changed a bit, he just hoped the people around him wouldn't mind. Now he was a "Chad"!
Ringo chuckled briefly before leaving the training room, only to come face to face with the curious Ames floating in front of him.
She looked at him, he looked at her, neither of them said anything for a moment, until Ames put her hand over her mouth and looked away, her shoulders trembling as she tried to stifle a laugh.
Ringo's lips trembled, he should have expected it. Even so, he shook his head and smiled, asking. -Do you like my new look?
Ames chuckled softly, turning his gaze back to him, but then his gaze drifted down to his pelvis. -Yeah, it looks good on you, very... anatomical.
Ringo paused for a moment, looked down and saw that he was completely naked from the waist down.
His mind drifted back to moments before when he had set the entire room ablaze with black flames, burning any clothes he was wearing.
Ringo froze for a moment before teleporting away, even though he knew it was impossible, he still thought he heard Ames laughing at his departure.

Days passed as his family got used to his new look. Reactions were mixed, some liked it more, others less. His women were the most supportive, as the punk look wasn't to any of their liking, which saddened him greatly for a while.
Even so, he put that aside, he had new problems ahead of him.
As Ringo progressed, he acquired a new clone, this was his fourth clone, thus reallocating the clones to his possession.
One of them took Black Spider's place. The man had already spent months in Kandor searching for Maktru, indeed he had found quite a lot, but Trax and Rick were getting tired of that planet and Slugcat wanted to see the universe. So Ringo sent the new clone to Black Spider while the man could finally finish his mission, trading a small fraction of the Maktru he obtained with Godora to complete his mission perfectly.
Black Spider, on the other hand, began his journey back to Juberly Hub.
The main body wouldn't move anytime soon, so he could continue training with Ames.
Of the last two clones, one stayed with Emma continuing the Groot Project and the Xenomorph Project, while the other remained in Aquamarine, at the headquarters of Hell.
He was still working on Invisible Demon's body, but Ringo was growing much faster than Invisible Demon, so its usefulness became disposable and he had almost given up on the project.
Even so, he kept a clone there to continue helping his family evolve, but the problem with that was that Hila, Eva and Lena were unhappy.
Ringo wouldn't touch them with the clone's body and his main body spent most of its time training, leaving the women feeling out of place.
Lena and Hila said nothing, Lena because she was the more understanding of the two, Hila because she was too proud for that, but Eva...
She practically glared at him angrily whenever she saw his clone, her frustration was becoming increasingly evident.
This left Ringo unsure what to do for a moment, he knew he would need all the power he could acquire now for the future, he didn't have time to stand still, so he made a decision.
Approaching Ames after practice, with a slightly embarrassed look, Ringo sighed and explained his situation.
Ames found it all funny, she rolled her eyes, but agreed to Ringo's request.
So, Ringo brought the group of women to the Floating Dragon, they all had their responsibilities, but they all threw everything to the wind as soon as he offered them the chance to go into space.
Eva practically had her bags packed half an hour after being informed. Lena agreed, smiling happily, she had wanted to be immersed in this high-tech galactic environment for a long time.
Even though Ringo sent her all sorts of class knowledge that he acquired, she still wanted to see for herself and learn from the source.
Hila acted as if Ringo had given an order instead of asking, she simply nodded and packed her bags, and... Aurora, of course Hila wouldn't leave Aurora behind.
Regarding safety, Ringo had long ago explained the strength of his Dragon Mommy, the ability to explode planets with a wave of her hand made her think it was even safer on Ames than on Aquamarine.
Of course, that was only after Ringo made it clear what kind of personality Ames had. Even after discovering Ringo's power, she didn't act against him, she probably wouldn't act against Aurora, right?
In any case, Aurora was taken along, much to the little girl's delight and with her came her two bodyguards, Will and Jack, the two still acting as a cheap comedy duo, following the little girl around, to the point that Ringo got rid of Aurora's security a long time ago.
Melissa and Li stayed behind. Melissa had to take care of Hell, even though Ringo no longer valued that base on Aquamarine. Melissa still had an attachment to that planet, even though she was no longer a commander of Hesla, she could still feel attached to Hell.
Li stayed with her, of course, although Ringo knew he was very interested in galactic battles. Ringo had already explained the concept of "Ten" to Li, as well as other ideas he had for Chi, which fascinated the man and got him ready to focus on even more rigorous training.
Ringo considered bringing Price for a moment, but thinking that the young man was still too inexperienced, he decided against it, it would have to wait for the future.
In the end, Hila, Aurora, Eva, Lena and the canine duo Will and Jack arrived in space through a teleportation gate.
The first thing they saw was Ringo in his new look while Ames floated lightly in the air, looking at everyone curiously.
