Chapter 140: Super Saiyan
"Me? I was just passing by. Thought I'd check if anyone was injured — if so, I could take them back for treatment."
Mikado Ryōko's tone was utterly detached, her expression one of idle amusement, as if she were simply watching a show. Her attitude made Franklin's head ache.
"Ryōko, don't mess around. You wouldn't have come here unless there was something special going on."
After a brief moment of thought, Franklin suddenly remembered Ryōko's connection to Tearju. His expression lit up in realization. "Ryōko, if I remember right, you're pretty close with Eve, right? Maybe you could calm her down first."
Ryōko waved her hand dismissively and handed Franklin a specially made syringe.
"This is her mission, her choice. Using my status as a doctor to stop her wouldn't be appropriate. And using my relationship with Tearju might only make things worse. So it's better if you handle it yourself. This is a Saiyan Blood Concentrate — it should enhance the purity of your Saiyan bloodline.
The ruler of Deviluke has already arrived. If I don't help you a little, you really won't be able to handle what's coming."
Franklin's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the syringe, which was filled with blood so dark red it shimmered faintly with a golden light.
"Wait — Ryōko, you can actually make something like this?! That's way beyond normal limits! And how did you evade divine sense detection? My family members all vanished too — was that your doing?"
Ryōko smiled faintly and turned back toward the house.
"Lin's sister is half my teacher, in a way. Her teachings were limited, but when you faced your heavenly tribulation and nearly died, she and the others endured immense backlash to conceal your fate. During that brief window, Lin's sister taught me a great deal.
So, little Franklin, don't underestimate your sister. I know quite a few things."
As Ryōko leisurely walked away, Franklin turned his gaze back to the sky, where Zastin's strength was beginning to wane. Channeling spiritual energy into his eyes, he analyzed the information within the syringe.

"Lin, are you really going to inject that into your body?"
Seeing Lala's worried expression, Franklin smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, it's a good thing — something that can strengthen me without side effects. I'll be fine."
Without another word, Franklin plunged the syringe directly into his heart. The Saiyan Blood Concentrate entered his bloodstream. At first, it was icy cold as it spread through his body — then came the heat. Intense, burning heat.
Sitting cross-legged, Franklin calmed his breathing and focused inward, seeking to understand what exactly these S-cells were.
Gradually, the burning sensation faded, and he could sense them clearly. The S-cells existed in small clusters, scattered throughout his body — only about five percent of his total cells. As they moved with his blood, they continuously converted spiritual energy into a higher form of power.
The faster the blood flowed, the faster this conversion happened. When that special power accumulated to a certain threshold — when its conversion rate greatly exceeded its consumption — the body could undergo a qualitative transformation.
Slowly, Franklin rose to his feet. He finally understood why Saiyans always shouted so loudly when transforming — it was to forcefully stimulate the S-cells, rapidly converting spiritual energy (ki) into higher energy.
But Franklin wasn't about to start screaming. With divine sense aiding his control, and his cultivation method in full operation, spiritual energy surged toward every S-cell in his body. In an instant, a faint golden aura surrounded him.
The sudden explosion of power drew the attention of both Eve and Zastin, who immediately broke apart and looked toward Franklin in surprise.
All across Blue Star, powerful individuals — Son Goku, Krillin, and Master Roshi — all sensed the shift.
Goku's face lit up with excitement. "As expected of Brother Franklin — he's still ahead of me! Looks like I need to catch up fast!"
Gid, who had been chatting with Mikan, suddenly stood as well. His curiosity sparked as he turned toward Franklin's location. Seeing Mikan's curious expression beside him, Gid expanded his domain. In the next moment, he brought Mikan, Momo, and Nana to a nearby rooftop overlooking the scene.
"Take a look — this marks the true beginning of Franklin's path to growth."
Franklin's cultivation technique whirled faster and faster, accelerating the transformation within his body. His form glowed with golden light. His black hair began to shift under the influence of that special energy — and at last, unable to suppress it any longer, Franklin let out a powerful shout.
The ground split beneath him. A storm of energy swept outward, and though most of the force was redirected skyward, it still blasted both Eve and Zastin backward.
"Whoa, Lin, you look amazing right now! What's that move? I've never seen you use it before! Though… the hair color feels a bit weird. I still think black suits you better."
Seeing Lala's eyes sparkle with excitement, Franklin chuckled. "It's nothing fancy — just a derivative ability of the Saiyan bloodline. As for the hair color, I can't really do anything about it for now."
When it looked like Lala was about to keep talking, Franklin gestured for her to look upward.
Locking eyes with Eve, Franklin grinned. He didn't attack immediately. Instead, he steadied his breath and opened the Dimensional Tome's main interface.
