Chapter 777: Chapter 777 A Big Leap In The Plot
Bardock and Goku quickly became King Kai's enforcers. They needed strong opponents and appreciated the conveniences provided by King Kai, so they were quite happy with the arrangement.
The subsequent storyline changed dramatically. Originally, Goku and the others were supposed to go to Namek, but that trip never happened. With Cooler dead and Frieza too scared to retaliate, Frieza's father did come to Earth, but he met a tragic end.
As for Frieza, although he hid for a while, it was still useless. He was quickly found by Goku and the others and then was killed. Thus, the Frost Demons Clan was eradicated, and Earth was safe from their tyranny.
There was no blood from the Frost Demon Clan, and Dr. Gero ceased to exist already, as he was already dealt with by Raditz. Raditz also did not leave a loose end when doing things, so when dealing with the Red Ribbon Army, he completely eradicated them to their root.
Because of that, Androids like Seventeen and Eighteen did not appear.
However, Asahi still saw them later.
Whether it was Seventeen and Eighteen, they are both ended up working at Bulma's company, which was quite nice as they avoided being further modified.
Goku is also married and has children, and many years passed without much trouble.
For Asahi now, time had lost its meaning, and the plot had been completely disrupted by him. His only focus was on accelerating his fusion process. Despite many years have passed, and now it is Majin Buu Saga, his fusion rate had only reached 10%, which was frustrating.
"Brother Asahi, Mr. Satan and Videl are looking for you again. It seems to be about the upcoming World Martial Arts Tournament!"
One day, Bulma approached Asahi and explained the situation. In the original work, Mr. Satan was known for taking credit for others' achievements, which made him quite disliked. However, at the end of the Majin Buu Saga, this guy also played a significant role.
He also eventually earned the recognition of Goku and his friends. Then, Goku and the others gave him the glory he deserved while choosing to remain in the background themselves. This was the original story of Dragon Ball, but Asahi had now changed these events.
Asahi didn't just sit back and let things play out. Seeing potential in Mr. Satan, despite his flaws, Asahi trained him to become a true martial arts master. Mr. Satan isn't inherently bad. He just loves taking shortcuts, which is why he ends up claiming others' achievements. He has guts, though, daring to claim any credit that comes his way. Instead of letting him remain a mere credit-stealer, Asahi decided to transform him into a true fighter. Thus, in this altered timeline, Mr. Satan was no longer the cowardly glory-seeker he once was. Instead, he became a respected and powerful fighter.
However, Earth's limitations are absolute in this world. Although there are Gods of Destruction and the like, it's not the Super Universe. The Super Universe is too much nonsense. The idea that Ginyu, after swapping bodies, could thrash Piccolo and Gohan at that time is laughable,
Reflecting on the past, it seems absurd that Frieza's minions could rival the Super Saiyans, who at least should be as strong as Frieza.
Some discrepancies can be rationalized, like Goku using Super Saiyan Blue against Krillin to show respect, but certain issues, such as Ginyu, can't be explained away. Then there's the Tournament of Power with characters like Master Roshi.
The Mafuba Technique? That's ancient! Bringing it back makes no sense at all.
The power scaling in the original Dragon Ball Z Series had some inconsistencies, but nothing compared to the absurdity of the Super Universe.
The Android Saga was the most inconsistent in Dragon Ball Z. While Cell's power could be justified by incorporating Saiyan and Frieza's blood, what about Androids 16, 17, 18, and later 19 and 20? They weren't mechanical, they were modified humans, but they could easily overpower Frieza. That's completely illogical. However, while inconsistencies existed in Dragon Ball Z, the inconsistencies in the Super Universe was over the top.
Ginyu's situation is beyond explanation. It's understandable that power level declines without training, but a Super Saiyan unable to transform again without training and then getting beaten down is absurd.
Due to these limitations, Mr. Satan's battle power has reached the human maximum of several hundred thousand and can't go any higher unless Asahi decides to make him a God. But why waste time turning Mr. Satan into a God? Right now, besides his daughter, he's the strongest human on Earth, so there's no need to push him further.
As for Videl, she's grown up under Asahi's watchful eye, much like Bulma did back in the day.
That's why Asahi invested more effort in her training than in Mr. Satan's. The difference between training a rough-and-tumble guy and a beautiful girl is pretty obvious, so there's no need to explain more.
Under Asahi's guidance, Android 18, Bulma, and Videl have all followed the path to becoming Gods.
Although this path doesn't boost combat power as much as pure combat training, it has a crucial advantage: it eliminates worries about being poisoned or falling ill.
Goku and the other Saiyans are indeed powerful, and Goku had even reached Super Saiyan 3, but they are still mortal. Asahi could poison them to death if he wanted to. No matter how strong they are, a powerful poison would still be their downfall.
This is the downside of not training in higher realms, as no matter how impressive one's power level is, poison can end it all.
Therefore, Bulma and the others are all on the path of becoming Gods, and now their realm is equivalent to a Kai, and their life span is basically endless.
The strongest is Bulma, who is already only one step away from the realm of the Grand Kai. As long as she stepped into that realm, she can be promoted to the Grand Kai level, and her combat power will skyrocket.
As for Videl, since she was the last to train with Asahi, she is only at the level of an ordinary Kai, but her combat power is slightly above her father's.
"So, are you inviting me to oversee the World Martial Arts Tournament?"
Asahi asked speechlessly, thinking it wasn't really necessary.
"No, no, teacher, I came to see you this time because I found two strange individuals. They have a much stronger ki than normal humans, and it feels very evil and unsettling."
"I suspect these two might be trouble, so I came to ask what you plan to do. I've got their photos here. The tournament is currently underway, and both of them have made it to the finals!"
Satan handed a tablet to Asahi. Looking at it, Asahi recognized them as Babidi's henchmen, Spopovich and Yamu. In fact, in the photo, Asahi also saw Supreme Kai and his attendant, Kibito, but Satan couldn't sense their presence due to his low realm.
