Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Path to Namek
12 Years Later
The vast universe stretched infinitely before Kaidan as his ship hummed softly in the void. For 12 years, Kaidan had sharpened his abilities across countless worlds, pushing his Legendary Saiyan genes to their absolute limits. His combat power had soared, and his arsenal of techniques had expanded exponentially, turning him into a force few could rival.
Sitting cross-legged in the ship's meditation chamber, Kaidan focused on his ki, letting it swirl like a raging inferno. Genesis interrupted his concentration with a familiar chime.
Genesis:
Combat Power Update: 30,000,000.
Congratulations, User! Your Legendary Saiyan genes have reached their next evolutionary phase. Potential growth has increased exponentially during combat.
A small smirk played on Kaidan's lips. He had grown into a true warrior, but the hunger for power never waned.
New Destination
As Kaidan exited the chamber, the ship's AI alerted him to a nearby planetary system.
Genesis:
Notification: Significant power readings detected on Planet Namek.
Kaidan raised a brow. "Namek? What's so special about it?"
Genesis:
Planet Namek houses a unique resource known as Dragon Balls. These artifacts grant the ability to summon a wish-granting dragon capable of fulfilling nearly any desire.
Kaidan crossed his arms, intrigued. "A wish-granting dragon... Sounds like something worth investigating. Set course for Namek."
Genesis:
Course set. Estimated arrival: 7 days.
As the stars blurred past, Kaidan began strategizing. "If these Dragon Balls are as powerful as you say, there's no doubt others will come after them. I need to be ready."
Training Intensifies
For the next seven days, Kaidan pushed his body and mind to their limits. With Genesis simulating high-stakes combat scenarios, he perfected his techniques and explored new forms of power.
Starburst Barrage: Now capable of firing hundreds of energy spheres in rapid succession, creating an impenetrable field of destruction.
Gravity Shift: Kaidan mastered creating localized gravitational anomalies to manipulate the battlefield entirely in his favor.
Limit Breaker Pulse: The pulse's destructive range now spanned several miles, capable of obliterating entire armies in a single strike.
Kaidan's ship finally entered Namek's atmosphere, its green skies and serene oceans stretching endlessly. But peace was an illusion. He could feel it powerful energy signatures scattered across the planet, each one vying for dominance.
"Namek," Kaidan muttered, stepping out of his ship. "Let's see what secrets you're hiding."
