"Can this thing really fly into space?"
Inside the cube spaceship, Garou reached out to touch the spaceship wall that was as transparent as glass, couldn't help but ask with some worry.
When Zuke said he would take him to places outside Planet Saiya, he was still quite excited—but after seeing the cube spaceship, he became somewhat concerned.
Although Garou wasn't some high-tech talent, he wasn't an idiot either. He knew that the pressure of going to space shouldn't be something a glass box like this could withstand.
The current Garou hadn't completely monsterized like in the original work, nor had he accepted "God's" power to become Cosmic Fear Mode Garou.
If he was directly exposed to outer space now, the result would definitely be quite miserable. Like the Saiyans, he'd probably die instantly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Sit down properly."
While operating the cube spaceship's control panel, Zuke spoke to Garou somewhat impatiently.
That guy had been touching things here and there since entering the cube spaceship, acting like he had no confidence in the cube spaceship, which Zuke found quite annoying to watch.
"..."
Hearing this, Garou obediently sat down—of course, sitting on the floor, since there were no normal chairs to sit on inside the cube spaceship.
Because the cube spaceship's interior was also Zuke's gravity training room, if chairs were placed inside, they'd immediately be smashed to pieces. Zuke was too lazy to put chairs.
Anyway, after finishing training here, Zuke basically just lay down directly on the floor to rest. He didn't need chairs.
Soon, Zuke set the destination on the control panel—the Galactic Patrol Headquarters.
He hadn't seen Merus for a while, so he could go to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters to check on Merus and also learn about any major events in Universe 7.
After setting the target location, the cube spaceship immediately started up—in an instant, the massive cube spaceship shot out from Planet Saiya's landing pad.
In the blink of an eye, the space around the cube spaceship changed from Planet Saiya to the brilliant starry sky.
After the cube spaceship rushed out of Planet Saiya and arrived in space, Zuke immediately turned his head to look at Garou, wanting to see if Garou had any abnormal reactions.
Then he saw Garou's eyes widen, his face taking on an unnatural flush, his mouth opening to let out an inarticulate moan.
Seeing this, Zuke's heart sank, his brows furrowing—Garou's reaction wasn't normal. Had his sensing been wrong? Could "King's Army" still not bring people to areas outside its sphere of influence?
But just as Zuke was about to step forward to check what was wrong with Garou, Garou suddenly opened his mouth wide and shouted:
"So powerful! This spaceship really flew into space!"
Zuke paused, then saw Garou excitedly running around inside the cube spaceship, constantly shouting at the celestial bodies outside the cube spaceship.
Seeing this scene, Zuke couldn't help but hold his forehead—so Garou's earlier behavior wasn't because his body had an abnormal reaction, purely because this guy got playful and was amazed by the brilliant space.
In the original work, Garou often acted quite childish. Him showing this kind of reaction didn't seem to be a problem.
It's just that earlier it made Zuke think that "King's Army" had a problem, which made him somewhat displeased. He almost couldn't resist giving Garou's forehead a punch to make him calm down.
However, before he could take action, his body paused as if sensing something, and he called out lightly to Garou:
"Alright, Garou, quiet down! Someone's coming!"
"What?"
Garou, who had been excitedly watching the starry sky outside the cube spaceship rapidly retreating, immediately froze.
Someone's coming? This was inside a spaceship flying at high speed through space.
And this glass-box cube didn't have any other rooms to hide people. Who could come into the spaceship at this time?
But soon, Garou saw it. Inside the cube spaceship, a figure suddenly appeared with a "whoosh" in the center of the spaceship's internal space.
It was a figure who was quite short compared to Garou, with thin limbs, looking not particularly impressive.
However, being able to suddenly appear in a cube spaceship flying at high speed, this alone was enough to make Garou wary.
He was scared and stepped back, then stared fixedly at that somewhat short figure, not daring to speak carelessly for the moment.
After all, he had just felt it—when Zuke mentioned this person, his tone seemed somewhat serious too. Anyone Zuke took seriously was definitely not someone he could casually provoke.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zuke."
The newcomer was indeed Merus. His face bore the same gentle smile as always, though Zuke could faintly see a trace of helplessness in his expression.
"It has been a while, Merus."
Zuke nodded, speaking to the uninvited Merus.
"I was just planning to go to the Galactic Patrol Headquarters to find you guys... How come you suddenly came over?"
"Actually, there's something I need your help with... but I couldn't contact you this whole time."
Merus looked at Zuke, his gaze carrying both curiosity and seriousness as he asked.
"I tried to go to Planet Saiya to find you, but I discovered I actually couldn't enter Planet Saiya... Has something happened to Planet Saiya?"
Hearing this, Zuke's heart jumped, immediately realizing why Merus couldn't enter Planet Saiya.
It was "King's Army"! Planet Saiya had become part of "King's Army's" sphere of influence, so without Zuke's permission, others simply couldn't enter.
Looking at it this way, Zuke might have somewhat underestimated the effect of "King's Army." Even angels couldn't enter "King's Army's" territory. This ability's effect was probably more exaggerated than he had anticipated.
Clearly, this was no longer as simple as the Reality Marble from the Type-Moon world. Under "Black Bird's" devouring, it had transformed into an entirely new ability.
"The ability of 'Black Bird' might be even more complex than I imagined."
Zuke thought to himself—not just "King's Army," even the magical energy from the Type-Moon world, after being devoured by him, had become Dragon Ball world's magical energy.
The principle behind this mutation, Zuke still wasn't clear about. However, judging by current results, it was all good things, so he didn't pay too much attention.
"I was experimenting with a new ability on Planet Saiya. You can think of it as some kind of defensive barrier to protect against external enemies."
However, Zuke also couldn't very well explain the specific situation of "King's Army" to Merus, so he could only temporarily use the "defending against external enemies" reason to deflect.
Fortunately, Merus didn't seem to care much about this point either. Hearing Zuke give an explanation, he nodded and believed it.
