Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 257 Broly: I would like to call you the strongest!
Houlou is very special. As an Old God, his power is both strong and weak.

His strength is reflected in the concepts He possesses.

As the original god, Fanlou has two special concepts:
One is [suspicion], suspicion about everything.

The second is [exaggeration], which is the confirmation of suspected things.

Two concepts that are useless alone, but when combined, they give you the ability to modify reality.

Hanlou is strong because he can use the conceptual ability of [Suspicion] to make a unilateral choice on things.

Then use the conceptual ability of [exaggeration] to make a final confirmation of the things you have chosen.

And what is confirmed will be realized.

It sounds like a powerful ability to make your wishes come true, right? And it is true.

However, due to the concept of "suspicion", Fanlou has serious doubts, that is, he suffers from decision-making difficulties.

In the case where it is impossible to make a choice, the confirmation ability of [Boast] cannot be activated.

The fact that God cannot activate his conceptual abilities is the reason why He is weak.

. . . .

"By the way, is He more powerful than the God of War?"

After learning about the ability of the sail building concept, Rick made such a guess.

"Is it great?"

Kroni looked over there and saw the fifth dragon spirit head that had been taken out.

"The ability to create food out of thin air is really amazing!"

She nodded, having to agree with Rick.

"Sister Dora, is this all you see?"

"Isn't that what you mean?"

"Of course not. When I say that Lord Houlou is amazing, I mean His unreasonable conceptual ability."

In order to help his sister understand better, Rick gave a hypothetical example.

"Suppose that the God of War is still alive and has to face Him, then there is a possibility that the God of War will not even be able to see Him and will be eliminated by Him..."

It’s not that Riku thinks the opponent is weak because the God of War is dead, but that Houlou’s ability is so exaggerated in theory.

As long as He doubted the existence of the God of War, and used his own concept of [exaggeration], he confirmed the doubts brought about by this [suspicion].

Then, it is possible that the God of War will be directly penetrated by the power of modifying reality because his non-existence is confirmed.

Different from the God of War who relies on conceptual mechanisms to become a super numerical monster, Hanlou is a pure conceptual mechanism monster in this world. He can crush numerical monsters solely by relying on the mechanism abilities brought by his own concepts.

The only uncertainty is whether Hanlou's conceptual ability can work on other gods, but I think it should be possible.

After all, Houlou once doubted his own existence, and after accidentally confirming this doubt, he killed himself.

"If He can skillfully use His own conceptual abilities, then He is the God of Creation and the God of Destruction as well."

Born because of thoughts, die because of thoughts, everything in the world is just a thought.

"Lord Fanlou is strong and invincible~"

Hubie raised his hands and cheered for his creator, albeit an expressionless cheer.

"But the prerequisite is that the other party has enough decisiveness."

Rick added.

But this is exactly what Fanlou lacks.

Because of [suspicion], Fan Lou is skeptical about everything in the world. In a situation where he cannot easily trust anything, his ability of [exaggeration] is difficult to be effective.

The reason why they can copy the heads of dragon spirits crazily over there is because they borrowed Jibril's choice.

[Please Hope] This ability to fulfill the wishes of others is not so much Hanlou's third concept as it is an extension of the other party's concept of [Boasting].

That is, Fanlou can achieve the result of fulfilling other people's wishes by confirming that they strongly believe in the existence of something or expect a certain situation to happen.

"The almighty Wishing Princess..."

This is Rick's evaluation of Houlou, although it is not known how strong the desire must be for Houlou to help realize the wish.

But looking at the dragon spirit heads that were still being replicated over there, Rick felt that the standard should not be too high.

Even if we cannot realize the wish for world peace, we can still wish for more food and more safety for the settlements.

If they had met Fan Lou a long time ago, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties, so many tragedies of separation and death...

Rick's thoughts raced, and his expression became uncomfortable.

Hubie noticed it and called him, which brought him back to his senses.

Rick smiled bitterly. The idea of ​​meeting Fanlou in advance was a false proposition.

He just had hope that some regrettable things would change because he saw the power of Hanlou.

"Wait, since Houlou can copy the head of a dragon spirit, can he also repair the missing parts of your body, Riku?"

Chloro asked suddenly.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this? If He has enough will, can He resurrect the dead?"

Hearing this, Rick was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

When the ninth dragon spirit head was copied, Riku interrupted the copying process.

He knelt on all fours in front of Houlou in a similar posture as he had knelt in front of Broly before.

"Please, Lord Houlou, please fulfill our wish."

Not only Rick knelt down, but also Hubie and Clooney.

Hubie is a man who follows his wife's lead.

Rick and Clooney really want to make up for the regrets that happened to the human settlement in the past and resurrect some of their dead companions.

Horou did not refuse the requests of the three. Chronicle was the person who played chess with him recently, and Hubie was the Mecha-Machina who answered many of his questions. Horou was not opposed to fulfilling their wishes.

As for Rick? Well, he was just an insignificant addition, at least in Fanlou's opinion, and not very important.

"Well then, Lord Houlou, please restore the damaged parts of Riku's body first."

Hubie and Chloe made a wish to the sail tower. As the white light attached to Rick's body, Rick felt a tingling sensation at the part where his limbs were missing.

“Itchy~”

Rick tore off the bandage on his left arm and started scratching it, and a hand grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye, wrapped in white light, and at the same time, an eye also grew out in his left eye socket.

"I'm recovered, I'm recovered!"

Rick touched his new arm and rubbed his left eye, looking excited.

If even this kind of injury can be recovered, does it mean that it is possible to resurrect the dead?

"Please bring back the people I know..."

"Please revive the dead..."

"Please bring Nonna's father back to life..."

However, Rick then made three consecutive wishes for resurrection with decreasing numbers of people to be resurrected, but none of them came true.

"Is our will not strong enough?"

Rick's face gradually lost its previous excitement, and he asked with a pale face. To this, Houlou shook his head first, and then nodded.

"What do you mean?"

Rick couldn't understand what He meant.

"Woo..."

Fanlou showed a look of distress, as if he didn't know how to explain.

He asked questions more often, but seldom answered others' questions.

"What He means is that your desire is strong enough, but the quantity is not enough."

Jibril, on the other hand, took over the explanation for Riku, who was in distress.

When her wish was granted just now, Jibril could sense that something was being taken away from her body.

I didn’t think about it carefully just now, but now that I think about it, it should be the power of soul and will.

Where does the soul and will reside? For humans, it is the body, but for other races, it can also be spiritual power.

Riku's desire to resurrect his deceased family and companions is strong enough, but as a human, the amount of soul power he has may not even be one millionth of that of the Flügel, let alone Broly's soul from the higher-dimensional world.

"In other words, your soul power is insufficient, which prevents you from triggering the power of the prayer tower to fulfill your wish."

"But my hands and my eyes have recovered, haven't they?"

Rick did not agree with Jibril's statement.

In response, Jibril looked at Hubie.

"I don't know whether the Ex-Machina had souls in the past, but now that she has self-awareness, she definitely has a soul, and she must have a strong desire to restore your broken body.

However, regarding your statement about resurrecting other people, I may not have such a strong desire, am I right?"

she asked Hubie.

Rick looked over and saw Hubie lowering his head in acquiescence.

"how come……"

Jibril's words were easy to understand. The one whose wish was actually fulfilled was Hubie, not him and Chronicle.

Hubie had strong feelings for him, but not for others, so the subsequent wish was not fulfilled.

"I'm sorry, Rick."

Hubie apologized, saying that it was her Mecha-Machina that diverted the trajectory of [Dragon's Roar] and blew up the village where Riku was, causing the death of Riku's family and tribesmen. Now, she couldn't have the strong will to revive those who were important to Riku, which made Hubie feel very sorry.

"..."

Rick was a little dazed and didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know whether he should comfort Hubie or ask Hubie to try harder. Maybe in the next moment, he would have a strong desire to resurrect the dead.

Of course, Rick also knew that this was impossible.

"But your desire to resurrect the dead is quite ridiculous."

Just when Rick was thinking about cutting his own neck and taking a gamble on whether Hubie could revive the other deceased people, and had this dangerous idea of ​​getting involved, he heard Jibril say this.

"What's wrong with wanting to revive your dead family members and companions?"

“This feeling is not wrong, but the behavior itself is wrong. In this world, except for the spirit species, all other creatures or lives are dead once they die.

Even though the power of Hanlou can resurrect the dead, I would rather call this kind of resurrection the creation of a brand new individual with the appearance of the deceased and even inheriting the memory of the deceased.

This is not a true resurrection at all..."

Broly was a little surprised by Jibril's words, which was somewhat different from the common sense he knew.

In the previous world, Master Aqua could resurrect others with ease.

Even the devil was resurrected.

However, this is of course.

The world is not the same, it is not the same.

This world is full of elves. When the body of a creature or life dies, the soul carried in the body will dissipate.

The elven power that houses consciousness will also be decomposed by the omnipresent elven species, so there is no such thing as reincarnation or the afterlife.

Except for the Gods, or those whose consciousness was immediately protected by powerful beings after death, and whose bodies were rebuilt and whose consciousness was stuffed back into them, all other resurrections were just false resurrections.

"So that's it..."

After learning the truth about the resurrection, Rick gave up the idea of ​​getting involved and accepted the fact that the dead could not come back to life.

"It's my turn now. I want to make another wish with you."

Houlou looked at Broly and tilted his head, wondering what else he would wish for.

“I hope the food in my dreams can appear in reality.”

With a pious heart, Broly made a wish to Houlou.

The almighty Wishing Lady was startled for a moment, and then she shone brightly.

Under the light, aromas began to emerge and all kinds of delicious food began to spread on the ground.

Broly didn't hesitate, he picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

A familiar taste, but a different feeling from the one in the dream.

This was a real thing, and it made the Saiyan boy's eyes moisten.

No need to pay or earn happiness points, just make a wish towards the sail building and the food will appear in your eyes.

"Holou, you are the wife among wives!"

Broly said sincerely.

"A wife among wives, what is that?"

Fanlou asked with some confusion.

"Still a wife, but the best wife ever!"

When it comes to giving food, Broly is willing to call Houlou the strongest wife.

Fanlou: “…”

He didn't know what to say, but He could feel Broly's happiness.

"Whatever wish you make, I will help you realize it."

"Then, let's have a few more wives like you."

Fanlou: “???”

It turns out that some wishes cannot be fulfilled.

The concept is unique and it is impossible to find a bug.

Therefore, Broly had to settle for the next best thing and fill up his remaining 70 cubic meters of personal space.

After completing these tasks, Avant Heim flew over the great forest where the elves lived.

The elves in the forest were on high alert. Although they were informed that there would be no fighting, they still felt nervous when facing the giant Sky City above their heads and a Dragon King and a group of Dragon followers following beside them.

Sinker Nilvalen was one of the few elves who could remain calm. Not only was she calm, but after seeing that the last Dragon King of the Dragon Race was accompanying Avant Heim, she became even more passionate.

Now that even the dragon spirits have bowed their heads, who can stop her from becoming the ruler of this world with the help of her cheap little husband?
