Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

The news of Saitama's promotion to Class A was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake; it caused only a minor ripple among the people before subsiding.

On Earth, the activities of strange individuals have decreased, and mysterious organizations no longer cause trouble with impunity.

For a moment, the Earth was unusually calm.

The strange incidents that began to emerge during Saitama's high school years have intensified over the past few years, from one case a month a few years ago to dozens of cases a day, and now to a brief period of calm, like the calm before the storm.

The insightful members of the association had already sensed the unease and hurriedly sought guidance from the prophecy of Granny Shibabawa.

In the universe, two terrifying forces have also set their sights on Earth.

On a distant planet, Lucifer, an alien who looks like a Predator, is listening to a report from his spy subordinates planted in Boros's spaceship.

“Interesting. Boros purchased a large amount of hydrogen fusion energy from me just to deal with one Earthling.”

Lucifer's eyes flickered: "Could such a remote and impoverished place in the universe also give birth to so-called strong individuals?"

The alien spy, who looked like a slug, said, "Lord Lucifer, this is absolutely true. There are indeed powerful beings on Earth with terrifying energy. Goryuganshoop even detected that their energy intensity exceeded that of ten thousand stars."

Lucifer was shocked: "What? A powerful being with the energy of ten thousand stars?"

Lucifer looked somewhat distraught; he was shocked to hear that there were life forms in the universe that could reach the energy intensity of ten thousand stars.

After Lucifer revealed his trump card, he was slightly stronger than Boros, but in his normal state, without the fusion of hydrogen energy, he was not as powerful as Boros.

Therefore, Boros is the ruler of the universe, while Lucifer is not.

But in this vast universe, those with strength comparable to theirs are extremely rare.

Both he and Boros were born on extremely harsh environments, and only in such places could such powerful species as themselves be born.

It can be said that the strongest creatures that nature can produce are these two races.

To this day, Lucifer has never seen a creature beyond their race.

But now, in this remote galaxy like the Milky Way, on a planet I've never even heard of, there exists a powerful being with the energy of ten thousand stars.

This is outrageous.

Lucifer felt a strong curiosity and wanted to see this powerful figure for himself.

They wanted to know what a planet that could give birth to such powerful beings looked like, and they wanted to know the secrets of its strength.

After providing Boros with enough hydrogen fusion energy, he also ordered his men to launch the spaceships to jump towards Earth.

Lucifer can refine stellar energy to extract hydrogen fusion energy, and his science and technology are far superior to Boros'.

It would take Boros twenty years to reach Earth, but Lucifer, with his advanced science, only ten days would suffice.

If things go well, Lucifer might be able to reach Earth when Boros emerges from seclusion and fight alongside him... no, fight against Earth's powerful figures.

Five days have passed.

A major event has occurred within the association.

The famous prophet of Earth, Grandma Shibabawa, left a final prophecy for the association before she choked to death on a throat lozenge—Earth is doomed!

Grandma Shibabawa's prophecies are 100% accurate; all the earthquakes, floods, and strange crises she predicted have come true.

The association learned of the old woman's final prophecy and took it very seriously. They immediately convened a meeting at headquarters with all the S-class heroes and also invited Saitama, the number one A-class hero.

Upon receiving the notification, Luo Yan gladly went to headquarters.

Although Luo Yan was somewhat confused that the Deep Sea King storyline hadn't even happened before jumping to the Boros arc, he was relieved when he thought about how the commotion he and Saitama had caused had greatly reduced the occurrence rate of monster disasters.

Deep Sea King, that clown, must have been scared and doesn't dare to come out and cause trouble.

Deep Sea King is, after all, the leader of the ancient deep-sea creatures, not one of those randomly mutated monsters.

They would certainly do their homework before launching an invasion against the land.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of human heroes, it is perfectly normal for them to choose to lie low.

Just follow your heart, nothing to be ashamed of!

Chapter 241 S-Class Hero Tournament

—Dragon Ball: Simultaneously Traveling Through Multiple Worlds, Chapter 241: S-Class Hero Tournament

The Hero Association has summoned all S-class heroes.

Heroes from various cities rushed over, and even Police Dog Hero, who never left Q City, came to headquarters.

Luo Yan, Bang Gu, and Shui Long walked together into the office on the top floor of the association.

The reason Luo Yan entered the headquarters with Bang was because Bang's grandfather couldn't resist the temptation of internal energy these past few days and personally paid him a visit.

When Luo Yan was at the association branch in Z city last time, he casually mentioned that he wanted to visit Bang's dojo, but he forgot about the promise later because of the side effects of the experimental skill.

Banggu hadn't forgotten that after waiting and waiting for Luo Yan to appear, he went directly to his door.

Then, Bangu, eager to explore martial arts internal skills, stayed at Luo Yan's house for four days.

During these four days, Luo Yan did his best to teach Bang Gu various advanced martial arts techniques.

Bang Gu truly lived up to his reputation as a martial arts prodigy. He absorbed all the new knowledge, used flowing water as a metaphor for internal energy, and created the Heavenly River Internal Energy. He developed a sense of Qi within one day, entered the Acquired Realm within two days, achieved the Innate Realm within three days, and reached the Grandmaster Realm within four days.

Banggu, who had been accumulating knowledge and experience, opened up his eight extraordinary meridians and connected the two bridges of heaven and earth in just four days, his internal energy flowing endlessly like the surging Milky Way.

Bang's strength has increased by an unknown amount, but his age has changed dramatically. With internal energy nourishing his body, the wrinkles on his old face have been smoothed out, and a few strands of black have appeared in his gray hair.

So much so that when Atomic Samurai saw Bang again, he directly teased Bang about whether he was still young and attractive, making Bang extremely embarrassed.

Despite Bang's serious and unsmiling appearance, he was actually a playboy in his youth, frequenting bars and karaoke rooms. He even earned the nickname "Blood Wind" thanks to his formidable strength. When he met his brother Bomb, he brought three young ladies to keep him company, having a much more fun time than young people like Garou and Suiryu.

"It's just that I've made some breakthroughs in my martial arts training recently, there's no such thing as 'golden years' here," Bang chuckled.

"Oh, your fist technique has already reached the Grandmaster level, and you can still break through?" Atomic Samurai asked in surprise.

“Cultivation is endless. Becoming a grandmaster is just a new beginning. Breakthroughs are not unusual,” Bang said, practicing Tai Chi.

“That’s true. The more I practice swordsmanship, the more I feel that the road ahead is long and I can’t see the end. There are very few things in this world that I can cut off, and there are still too many things that I can’t cut off.” After sighing, Atomic Samurai greeted Luo Yan and said, “King, it’s been a long time.”

The culprits who made Atomic realize that there are too many things in the world that cannot be severed are Luo Yan and Saitama. After witnessing their battle, Atomic Samurai began to question the sword in his hand.

Can he cut King? Can he cut Saitama?

Even just watching the video, he knew he was far behind these two in terms of strength and skill.

His sword is not invincible; there are always things in this world that he cannot cut.

Originally arrogant and disdainful of shaking hands with the weak, Atomic Samurai's confidence was completely shattered by the two. He secluded himself for a long time before he could readjust his mindset, rediscover himself, and let go of his past arrogance.

Luo Yan had no connection with Atomic Samurai, and simply nodded slightly in response to Atomic Samurai's greeting.

After avoiding Atomic Samurai's body at the door, Luo Yan and the other two stepped into the office conference room.

In an instant, the gazes of all the S-class heroes in the room converged on Luo Yan.

Child Emperor, Vest Venerable, and Super Alloy Black Glow Eyes show worship.

Tornado, metal bat, and flashing lights—Flash's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, eager to challenge him.

The zombie man and the drive knight both had inquisitive looks in their eyes.

The gay prisoner's gaze was filled with aggression, making Luo Yan feel slightly uncomfortable.

Only Pig God was focused on the food in front of him, while Watchdog Man remained in a daze and didn't look at King's arrival.

Ignoring everyone's gazes, Luo Yan, seemingly unconcerned, pulled out the chair at the head of the table and sat down.

This seat should have been reserved for the S-class's first demolition expert, but Luo Yan sat down, while the person in charge of the meeting, Xiqi, didn't say a word.

Instead, Tornado, who was on good terms with Blast, spoke up: "King, your seat is down here. This is not a place for you to sit."

Luo Yan raised his eyelids and said, "Oh, Blast hasn't shown up for so many years, nor has he killed any more monsters. Judging by his merits, his ranking should have dropped to the bottom long ago, right, Mr. Sitch?"

The ranking of S-class heroes is not static; it is recalculated periodically based on merits. For example, Genos was initially at the bottom of the S-class, but through continuous monster kills, his ranking surpassed that of the gay prisoner and rose to 14th.

The reason Blast has always been ranked first is not because others respect him or dare not challenge his position, nor is it because the association is trying to curry favor with him and unwilling to lower his ranking. Rather, it's because Tornado is obstructing him; she holds second place and is preventing anyone from moving up to first.

Otherwise, that arrogant guy, Metal Bat, would have wanted to challenge for the title of number one long ago.

The relationship between Tornado and Explosion is unusual. Eighteen years ago, Tornado was sold to a research institute by her parents and became a "test subject" for research.

Later, when the chimeras wreaked havoc at the research facility and everyone disregarded Tatsumaki's life, Blast appeared like a hero, defeating the chimeras and protecting the young Tatsumaki, leaving an indelible impression on her.

It was also Blast's inspiration that made Tornado a hero. Despite her pride, she was willing to be ranked second, just to protect Blast's first place.

Therefore, when Tornado saw Luo Yan sitting in the blasting position, she immediately became dissatisfied and reprimanded him.

When questioned by Luo Yan, the person in charge, Xiqi, replied with a fawning expression, "Mr. King is right. According to the latest reform plan, if an S-class hero fails to perform the tasks assigned by the association for a long period of time, their ranking will be adjusted downward every month."

If the hero still fails to fulfill the association's duties after three adjustments, they will be expelled from the association and their corresponding benefits will be revoked.

In the original manga, if Saitama did not engage in hero activities within a week of becoming a C-class hero, he would be expelled from the association.

This system has actually existed for a long time, but S-class heroes have more power and have never followed this rule.

Now that Luo Yan is bringing up rules and regulations, no one can find fault with him.

"He handles matters of vital importance to the fate of all humanity and has been on missions all along. You cannot lower his ranking," Tornado said angrily.

"The mission that Blast carried out is not in the association's files. Who knows if he went to handle some personal matters? Of course, if Tornado can contact Blast and get him to show up, then the association can consider restoring his ranking."

At this point, Luo Yan's purpose finally became clear.

He instructed the association to improve its ranking, one of the purposes being to use Tornado to contact Blast and thus find the space where God resides.

The second objective is related to the content of the upcoming meeting.

Tornado was speechless upon hearing Luo Yan's request.

She couldn't possibly contact anyone about how to conduct the bombing.

Over the years, she has been searching for explosives, but this guy seems to have vanished into thin air; she has searched the entire world but has been unable to find any trace of him.

Seeing Tornado's expression, Luo Yan felt a little disappointed. Tornado couldn't contact Blast either, so it seemed that the only way to find Blast was to start with those black cubes.

However, those black cubes seemed to have the ability to block mental perception; when not activated, even Luo Yan's mental scan could not detect their existence.

Otherwise, if Luo Yan finds a black cube, he can force Blast to reveal himself.

Seeing that Tornado had stopped arguing with Luo Yan, Sitch quietly asked Luo Yan, "Mr. King, it's getting late, can the meeting begin?"
