Chapter 167: Complete Six-Star Dragon
"Turles, we meet again!"
Watching Six-Star Dragon hovering in midair, light flickered in Turles's eyes before returning to calm.
"Yes, we meet again!"
After answering, Turles's body slowly rose to Six-Star Dragon's same height.
However, wary of Six-Star Dragon's mind-reading ability, Turles's gaze remained somewhat evasive, carefully avoiding direct eye contact.
Not only Turles—the moment Six-Star Dragon had revived and appeared, Supreme Kai Fuwa had quietly departed via Instant Transmission at Turles's reminder.
After all, no matter what, Fuwa's life was the most important among those present.
However, when his gaze swept across Six-Star Dragon's chest, even though mentally prepared, his pupils still contracted sharply. His hands involuntarily clenched.
Because there lay all seven Dragon Balls—now returned to their gray, grimy appearance.
This meant current Six-Star Dragon had truly achieved complete form. This stirred unease in Turles's heart.
But after carefully sensing Six-Star Dragon's aura, the unease in his heart dissipated considerably.
Because in his perception, though Six-Star Dragon had raised its aura considerably through the seven Dragon Balls' power, it wasn't excessively outrageous.
However, Turles felt somewhat curious how Six-Star Dragon had revived.
Eyes lowered, Turles asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me how you revived?"
Turles's voice came out light—seemingly just casually raising a topic.
But how could Six-Star Dragon not know of Turles's wariness? Just as it also feared Turles's terrifying strength—especially after Turles gained a new transformation.
However, having now gathered all seven Dragon Balls, it felt confident that even if it wasn't Turles's match, Turles couldn't do anything to it.
Moreover, it wanted to see what expression Turles would wear after learning the truth.
Thinking of what came next, Six-Star Dragon's heart grew excited. It couldn't suppress the curve of its mouth.
Filled with satisfaction, Six-Star Dragon involuntarily tilted its head back slightly, facing Turles with its nostrils. It spoke arrogantly: "Fine, I'll be magnanimous and tell you!"
As Six-Star Dragon's words fell, Caulifla and Cabba rose into the air under Carrit's shocked gaze, flying straight toward Six-Star Dragon.
"Caulifla! Cabba!"
Only after Caulifla and Cabba stood expressionlessly behind Six-Star Dragon did Carrit's group snap back to awareness. After shouting anxiously, they prepared to take flight.
"Don't come closer! Don't look into Six-Star Dragon's eyes!"
But Turles shouted loudly in time, stopping the three's actions.
Looking at Caulifla and Cabba with vacant eyes like puppets, Turles's expression grew dark enough to drip water.
He now understood perfectly—these two had been completely controlled by Six-Star Dragon.
At this moment, Turles also realized why he'd felt wrongness about Caulifla and Cabba's auras after eliminating Six-Star Dragon. Turned out Six-Star Dragon had already acted then—meaning Six-Star Dragon had never truly died.
Worthy of being an Evil Dragon with mental abilities!
Seeing the look of realization on Turles's face, Six-Star Dragon knew Turles had guessed. But this excited it even more: "How about it? Do you regret it? Never imagined I could hide in this little girl's mind, did you?"
"But who told you to be so careless, thinking simply destroying my physical body would solve everything?"
"Speaking of which, I must thank you. If you hadn't painstakingly collected the other Dragon Balls, I couldn't have gathered all seven so easily!"
"Turles, I really must thank you properly!"
"Hahaha!"
Six-Star Dragon assumed a victor's posture, continuously mocking Turles.
This was understandable. Everything had been accomplished through its careful scheming. Now with the goal achieved, it naturally felt quite pleased.
Hearing Six-Star Dragon's mockery, Turles clenched his fists tighter and tighter. His nails dug into his flesh. Drops of blood dripped from his palms.
He understood—understood everything.
Though he didn't know exactly how Six-Star Dragon had done it, the root of everything stemmed from his carelessness.
When he'd completely annihilated Six-Star Dragon's body, Six-Star Dragon had somehow preserved its consciousness, then hidden within the Dragon Ball. With its mastery of mental power, this probably wasn't very difficult.
At the time, he hadn't carefully inspected the Six-Star Dragon Ball. So he hadn't known it differed from the Three-Star Dragon Ball he'd previously dealt with—that it still concealed Six-Star Dragon, this old schemer.
Caulifla had probably been controlled by Six-Star Dragon when purifying the Six-Star Dragon Ball.
As for why Six-Star Dragon hadn't tried controlling him then, Turles understood after a moment's thought.
Six-Star Dragon had definitely seen his mental power was too strong and lacked confidence. That's why it chose Caulifla instead.
As for how Cabba got controlled, Turles couldn't figure that out.
However, none of this mattered now. Currently, most crucial was figuring out how to rescue the two and completely eliminate Six-Star Dragon.
As if sensing Turles's killing intent, Six-Star Dragon snapped out of satisfaction. It warily glanced at Turles's darkening expression and immediately guessed he was about to attack. Not daring to be careless, it instantly flashed behind Caulifla and Cabba.
"What's this, Turles? Want to kill me? First think about handling these two!"
Hiding behind Caulifla and Cabba, Six-Star Dragon didn't forget to continue provoking Turles.
Seeing this, Turles's fists clenched tighter. The darkness on his face deepened several shades.
However, after glancing at the two with vacant eyes and expressionless faces, Turles still suppressed his inner fury, slowly exhaling. "Six-Star Dragon, since you've controlled Caulifla and Cabba, you should know—these two aren't my match."
"Besides, as an Evil Dragon, do you only know such underhanded tricks? Don't you even have the courage to battle me?"
"Or are you simply afraid?"
While Turles's mind raced at high speed, contemplating methods to eliminate Six-Star Dragon, he continuously provoked it.
No matter what, the key issue still lay with Six-Star Dragon. As long as he could completely eliminate it, Caulifla and Cabba's problem would cease being a problem. At worst, he could ultimately use Super Dragon Balls to resolve things.
Moreover, Turles could sense Six-Star Dragon's gaze constantly seeking opportunities to meet his eyes. Its mental power also remained externalized, probing around him.
Turles hadn't expected Six-Star Dragon's mental control ability to be this excellent—already capable of application to such degrees. He didn't know if this was because its mental power was particularly strong or if it possessed some special technique.
After all, even Turles himself couldn't externalize mental power.
However, Six-Star Dragon wasn't foolish either. Though internally itching to tear Turles apart, it maintained rationality.
Even with Turles continuously provoking it, it didn't take the bait. Instead, it revealed a cold smile.
"Is that so? Then what about this?"
As the words fell, Caulifla and Cabba simultaneously stepped forward. Dim purple light flashed through their vacant eyes. Then, under Turles's somewhat shocked gaze, changes began appearing on their bodies.
Both simultaneously assumed explosive aura poses. The next second, wisps of purple mist appeared around their bodies.
"This is—?"
Watching a scene extremely similar to Super Saiyan God transformation, Turles vaguely guessed.
On the ground, Carrit's three—stopped by Turles's shout—also noticed the abnormality on Caulifla and Cabba. This familiar scene...
"This... this is... Super Saiyan God transformation?"
Yaris's somewhat stuttering voice rang out, directly voicing the same guess in Carrit's and the others' minds.
Though somewhat different, that divine ki aura—as three who'd already experienced Super Saiyan God realm—they naturally recognized it.
Carrit's lips opened and closed several times. He wanted to refute but couldn't speak rebuttal words.
"Super Saiyan God? God?"
Carrit's three didn't know their words had reached Hit's ears—standing not far away with extremely low presence.
Hit watched the two groups confronting in the sky, recalling when he'd first met Turles—that faint sacred sensation he'd sensed from Turles. He looked somewhat thoughtful.
On Battle Star, Hit had been somewhat curious about Turles showing no aura whatsoever. If not for his assassin's extraordinary sensitivity to others' gazes, he wouldn't have sensed Turles's existence at all.
Even after finding Turles, he'd only vaguely sensed a sacred life force from him—nothing else beyond that.
Having lived over a thousand years with strength stagnant for ages, Turles's appearance was like a guiding light on his path forward.
He knew Turles was strong—stronger than himself. This was why he'd agreed to come to Supreme Kai Realm.
But immediately, new confusion arose. Because he'd also encountered gods—more than one. Moreover, the earlier Supreme Kai was also a god, even the universe's greatest deity. Yet that lord's aura couldn't be considered very strong.
'Could the god they mention be a different type?'
This final thought flashed through Hit's mind. He continued focusing on Turles, murmuring quietly:
"I hope you can give me an answer, Turles!"
Turles naturally didn't know Hit's current thoughts. Watching Caulifla and Cabba complete their transformation, his face showed complete surprise.
"It actually succeeded!"
Currently, Caulifla and Cabba had undergone tremendous changes.
Their bodies were enveloped in purple mist. Though the color differed, the oppressive force emanating from that aura truly belonged to divine realm.
Both their appearances had also changed. Their hair color transformed from black to purple, adding mysterious flavor. Their eyes were also dyed purple—like two perfect purple gemstones.
As if extremely satisfied with its work, Six-Star Dragon rarely emerged from behind Caulifla and Cabba, speaking smugly:
"How about it, Turles? Does this count as so-called Super Saiyan God? Hmm?"
No wonder Six-Star Dragon felt smug. It knew Caulifla's group needed five righteous Super Saiyans to complete Super Saiyan God transformation. Yet it had directly enabled Caulifla and Cabba to autonomously complete Super Saiyan God transformation.
Though this was because Caulifla and Cabba had already transformed into Super Saiyan God—divine realm seeds already existed within their bodies, and it had merely catalyzed them—Turles didn't know that. Seeing the surprise on Turles's face, Six-Star Dragon felt tremendously satisfied.
Toward Turles, it held extreme hatred.
Though it had been defeated by that "brainless" Kale, it knew everything stemmed from Turles's scheming.
Now making Turles "suffer setbacks"—how could it not feel excited?
However, merely suffering setbacks wasn't enough. It still needed to completely defeat Turles, then control and humiliate him!
Thinking this, viciousness flashed through Six-Star Dragon's eyes. Its face darkened as it issued commands to the two: "Attack!"
With Six-Star Dragon's command, purple light flashed through Caulifla and Cabba's eyes. Then their bodies vanished.
BANG!
The next second, both figures appeared before Turles. Turles's two arms separately blocked both their attacks.
"Tsk!"
Sensing the numbness in both arms, Turles couldn't help grimacing.
He hadn't expected Six-Star Dragon to not only successfully transform them into Super Saiyan God, but their post-transformation strength wasn't weak either.
This reminded Turles of Zamasu's Super Saiyan Rosé.
'Could it be that the stranger the hair color, the stronger the power?'
Turles couldn't help muttering internally.
No wonder Turles thought this way. According to Dragon Ball fans from his previous life, the key to Saiyan strength lay in hair color.
Of course, this was just a bit of Turles's dark humor. Currently, he still needed to test how much these two had improved.
"HA!"
Thinking this, Turles pushed both arms outward, forcing them back. Then after a great shout, he directly activated Super Saiyan 4 form.
Powerful aura immediately erupted from Turles's body, directly disrupting Supreme Kai Realm's weather.
Eyes tightly closed, Turles actively initiated attacks against the two.
BOOM!
His body compressing air produced massive sonic boom. Turles's body appeared before Caulifla in the blink of an eye. Right hand clenched, he struck heavily toward Caulifla's abdomen.
"Pugh!"
Though her mind was controlled by Six-Star Dragon, bodily instinct wasn't under its control. This punch directly made Caulifla temporarily lose fighting ability.
Before Caulifla could react, Turles's body vanished again. When next appearing in others' vision, he'd already reached Cabba's back.
Palm vertical like a blade, he chopped down toward Cabba's nape!
