Chapter 153: Dragon Ball Purification and New Target
Supreme Kai Realm.
Turles's group rapidly devoured the food before them.
These provisions all came from Capsules Turles carried with him. Since they were worthy of being Turles's personal supplies, the food's quality was naturally exceptional.
"Mmm, delicious! So good!"
Even with her mouth stuffed full, Caulifla didn't forget to praise the meal. She also seized the opportunity to snatch a piece of fried chicken from Cabba's hand.
In this respect, Caulifla's personality really resembled Goku's.
Only after depleting most of Turles's stockpile and covering the table with empty plates did everyone finally feel satisfied.
While rubbing his perfectly round belly, Turles grabbed an energy drink. After taking a long swig, he released a contented belch.
"Ahh, that hits the spot!"
Caulifla and the other four mirrored Turles's actions, sprawling in their chairs and savoring this rare moment of peace.
Though the battle with Three-Star Dragon hadn't caused any casualties, facing its sense-dulling darkness abilities had still left everyone exhausted.
Of course, Turles didn't feel this way. So after resting briefly, he pulled out the Three-Star Dragon Ball and began examining it.
Compared to a normal Dragon Ball's transparent, brilliant luster, the current Three-Star Ball was covered in grime. The entire glass sphere looked dull and gray. Most critically, the stars inside remained pitch black.
"Turles, is this the corrupted Dragon Ball?"
At some point, Supreme Kai Fuwa had approached. Looking at the Dragon Ball in Turles's hand, he asked gravely.
Turles glanced at Fuwa's serious expression, simply nodding without speaking.
Fuwa didn't mind. He stared fixedly at the corrupted Dragon Ball, uncertain light flickering in his eyes.
During Turles's group's battle with Three-Star Dragon, Fuwa had naturally watched the entire fight.
Though Three-Star Dragon had been eliminated by Caulifla, Fuwa knew the threat hadn't been completely removed.
Because as long as the Three-Star Dragon Ball wasn't thoroughly purified and restored, Three-Star Dragon could potentially reappear.
Sensing the evil aura emanating from the Dragon Ball, Fuwa knew he had no way to resolve this himself.
The conversation drew the resting group over. Looking at the Dragon Ball in Turles's hand, they realized the same possibility. Their recently acquired comfort quickly vanished as they all focused intently on Turles.
The air grew quiet.
"Heh! What's with these expressions?"
Turles looked at their faces and chuckled lightly.
"Didn't Vados-san already say there's a method to purify the Dragon Balls? And haven't we already tested it successfully?"
At Turles's reminder, the five immediately recalled their earlier practice session. The gravity on their faces instantly evaporated. Caulifla sidled up to Turles, batting her wide, watery eyes and speaking in a wheedling tone:
"Boss Turles, shouldn't it be my turn this time?"
"Eww! x5"
Everyone recoiled in shock at Caulifla's sudden coquettish behavior. Turles shivered violently, goosebumps rising across his skin as he stared at Caulifla with a peculiar expression.
Their reactions left Caulifla very dissatisfied. She immediately flared her aura and shouted loudly: "What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Phew!"
Hearing Caulifla's rough, booming voice, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief, expressions showing unanimous gratitude.
"Alright, we'll let Caulifla handle it this time!"
Seeing Caulifla on the verge of exploding, Turles didn't dare say more. He quickly changed the subject while giving the others a meaningful look.
"Right, right!"
"Caulifla should do it this time!"
The others didn't dare delay, nodding in agreement repeatedly.
"Hmph!"
Though she'd achieved her goal, Caulifla still snorted coldly, expressing her displeasure.
Since they'd reached this point, Turles didn't want to delay further. Rising from his seat, he led the group to the palace courtyard.
Soon, the six had assumed their familiar positions—but this time Caulifla stood at the front instead of Turles, who took Caulifla's previous spot.
Everyone's expressions had turned serious. Rather than maintaining Super Saiyan God form, Turles exited it and switched to regular Super Saiyan instead.
"Ready, Caulifla?"
Turles placed his hand on Caulifla's back. Feeling her body trembling slightly beneath his palm, he had to remind her seriously.
"Hah!"
Caulifla glanced back, exhaling a long breath to ease the slight tension in her heart.
Previously, they'd assisted others with Super Saiyan God transformation, but always targeting Carrit.
For talented youngsters like Caulifla and Cabba, after Turles explained the minor drawback of assisted transformation, everyone agreed to delay their turns.
They'd even hoped to wait until both improved significantly—like Turles initially had—before transforming. Perhaps that way, they could also find the knack for independent transformation from a single experience.
However, since Caulifla's strength had broken through to Super Saiyan 2 level and she'd already reached a certain foundation—plus she'd resorted to acting cute—everyone finally agreed to her request.
After sensing Caulifla had completely calmed down, the five behind her exchanged glances, then began adjusting their auras.
Soon, all five reached the same energy level. Next, they tacitly mobilized the power of their hearts.
As heart power activated, golden auras appeared around the five. Golden energy continuously emerged from their bodies, swirling like mist around them.
After the golden aura reached sufficient density, all five looked toward Caulifla. Their golden energy began flowing into her body.
"Mmm!"
The gathering golden aura made Caulifla moan involuntarily from pleasure. Fortunately, she quickly realized something was wrong and clamped her mouth shut, forcibly enduring the continuous waves of ecstasy.
Super Saiyan God advancement essentially represented life-level evolution. And because others assisted, the instant pleasure of advancement—Turles and Carrit, having experienced it once, understood deeply.
So hearing Caulifla's moan, the two exchanged glances, both seeing amusement in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, the ceremony proceeded quickly. As heart power gathered, the Supreme Kai Realm's sky changed color. Golden clouds appeared overhead, bathing the entire realm in golden light.
At this very moment, a sacred feeling emerged from Caulifla.
"This is—?"
The instant this sacred aura appeared on Caulifla, Fuwa's expression changed dramatically. He lunged forward, craning his neck to stare at her.
Eyes flashing with incredulity, Fuwa muttered tremulously:
"God... god realm! It really is god realm!"
Even having witnessed it with Turles, when this scene truly appeared before Fuwa's eyes, he couldn't help feeling shocked.
As a veteran Supreme Kai, Fuwa knew all too well how rare god realm was. Precisely because of this, seeing Caulifla actually step from mortality into divinity with five people's help made Fuwa clearly understand what this represented.
Thinking that such experts could be replicated—even with Fuwa's composure, his heart couldn't help trembling.
While Fuwa fantasized about how many god realm fighters might appear in Universe 6's future, the ceremony concluded.
Turles and Carrit removed their hands from Caulifla's back, exchanged glances, then quietly waited for her awakening.
After another moment, Caulifla slowly opened her tightly shut eyes, revealing clean crimson irises matching Turles's color. Her hair had changed from black to red, occasionally flashing with golden-red streams of light.
Blinking, experiencing the wonder different from Super Saiyan, Caulifla involuntarily smiled.
But Caulifla's next action left everyone both laughing and crying.
Because just now, exceeding everyone's expectations, Caulifla had lowered her head. Completely unconsciously, she bounced her chest, then—seeing she could no longer see her toes—broke into a wide grin.
Previously, perhaps because she hadn't fully matured, Caulifla's figure had always seemed rather ordinary. Turles's group had always treated Caulifla like a tomboy, so no one paid much attention to her physique.
But from Caulifla's actions just now, this girl clearly possessed the vanity appropriate for her age.
However, Turles hadn't expected Super Saiyan God transformation to include body-shaping effects. Because her previously ordinary figure—under Super Saiyan God divine power's transformation—had become explosively voluptuous. Those curves, front and back, made even Cabba beside Turles unconsciously swallow.
After giving Cabba a meaningful look, Turles walked before Caulifla. Under her confused gaze, he held out the Three-Star Dragon Ball.
"Oh right, I almost forgot!"
Only when Turles thrust the Dragon Ball before her did Caulifla snap out of her vanity, fumbling to accept it from his hands.
The next second, something miraculous happened!
The moment the Three-Star Dragon Ball touched Caulifla's hand, the gray coating began slowly fading. Within minutes, this corrupted Dragon Ball regained its orange-red glow.
"It really works!"
Cradling the Dragon Ball, Caulifla stared at the newly radiant sphere with delight and cried out.
"Really? Let me see!"
"It actually worked?"
Hearing Caulifla's exclamation, the others immediately crowded over to examine the Dragon Ball's condition.
Only Cabba shuffled forward step by step. He first nervously glanced at Caulifla before shifting his gaze to the Dragon Ball.
Cabba's small movements didn't escape Turles and Fuwa's notice. Fuwa immediately raised his eyebrows at Turles meaningfully.
Seeing this, Turles rolled his eyes in response.
While Turles and Fuwa exchanged looks, they didn't notice Cabba's ears had turned bright red.
After quite some time, when Caulifla returned the Dragon Ball to Turles's hands, the Three-Star Ball had completely restored its original appearance. Even the black stars inside had regained their red color.
Looking at the softly glowing orange crystal sphere in his hand, Turles took a deep breath.
Vados's method really worked. Through righteous heart purification, the Evil Dragon Ball could be restored. They could finally breathe easy.
Since the Dragon Ball could be fully restored, Carrit's group regained their motivation. After watching Fuwa secure the Dragon Ball safely, they couldn't wait to tackle the remaining six.
But before that, they needed to investigate the next Evil Dragon's information.
Turles placed his hand on Fuwa's shoulder again as they began searching for their next target.
Soon, an unfamiliar planet appeared in Turles's vision.
But when a silver-gray dragon-shaped creature emerged in his sight, neither Turles nor Fuwa could immediately determine this Evil Dragon's abilities.
However, they did clearly see which Dragon Ball this target possessed.
"Looks like Six-Star Dragon!"
After withdrawing his universe observation ability, Fuwa's expression turned grave.
"Yeah, and it seems to have unique abilities too. Otherwise it couldn't have detected our observation so easily. I just don't know what Six-Star Dragon's power actually is?"
Turles echoed Fuwa's words, his face equally serious.
Just moments ago, they'd barely located Six-Star Dragon when it immediately sensed their observation—even faster than Three-Star Dragon.
Moreover, Turles had a feeling that Six-Star Dragon's abilities might be exceptionally troublesome—even vaguely seeming to counter him.
Unease began creeping through Turles's heart.
He didn't know why he felt this way, but the anxiety deep inside was powerful.
Thinking this, Turles's expression turned ugly.
Seeing their faces, Carrit's group exchanged bewildered glances, shock evident in their eyes.
This was the first time they'd seen Turles like this. Even facing Three-Star Dragon's troublesome abilities, Turles had appeared completely confident.
"Turles, what's Six-Star Dragon like?"
After a long silence, Caulifla asked Turles. Having just received the Super Saiyan God transformation boost, she felt confident about their next opponent. She believed if she faced Three-Star Dragon again now, she could defeat it even faster.
