Krillin looked at the others with a sense of relief. "That's great! In that case, bring him back. As for what to do with him, we can all discuss it together."
Sengoku let out a heavy sigh, shaking his head. "It is a pity Dr. Gero chose the wrong path. With his genius, he could have led Earth's technology to soar to unimaginable heights."
"But since he already knows the tragedy that awaits in the future, will he truly turn over a new leaf?" Genos asked, his robotic eyes whirring as he analyzed the probability.
Yamcha snorted, remembering the sight of the fleeing scientist. "When I found him, he was running for his life. If he really wanted to change, he wouldn't have been trying to escape."
Piccolo's voice was firm, cutting through the debate. "Regardless of his intentions, bring him back first."
Watching these events unfold from behind the scenes, Akira felt a wave of emotion. Because of the videos he had released to the multiverse, the Androids would never appear. His spoilers had already fractured the timeline several times over. But wasn't this exactly what he wanted? If revealing the future didn't change it, then the act of spoiling it would be meaningless.
As for Dr. Gero's fate, Akira wasn't concerned. With the scientist now in the hands of the Z Fighters, his days of villainy were over. Knowing their moral compass, they likely wouldn't kill him, but a lifetime of imprisonment was almost certain.
In this revised Dragon Ball world, Androids 16, 17, and 18 would never be activated. Cell would never be born. Lapis and Lazuli still existed, of course, but they would remain ordinary humans, living the quiet lives they likely preferred over being turned into biological weapons.
Akira knew that as more videos went live, many legendary villains would vanish before they ever became a threat. And even if they did appear, it didn't matter. Once he attained invincible strength within this world, these villains would be nothing more than pawns in his hand.
In the distant Kaioshin Realm of Universe 7, Supreme Kai Shin paced nervously. "I wonder who this Akira is, to know so much about the future. Could he be like Trunks, a traveler from a different timeline?"
The ability to peer through time was something even a Supreme Kai struggled with. Shin gripped his robes, his mind racing. "If he knows the future so clearly, does he know the location of the wizard Babidi and Majin Buu?"
To Shin, threats like Frieza and Cell were nothing compared to the terror of the Majin. He doubted even the Super Saiyan 2 transformation could stand against such a monster. In his mind, even if Goku and the others increased their Ki a hundredfold, they would be crushed. His only hope was to eliminate Babidi before the seal was broken, but he lacked the location. He hoped Akira's next video would provide the answer.
Right on cue, a new title flickered across the multiversal screens:
"The Transformation That Cannot Be Sustained While Alive — Super Saiyan 3!"
The title sent shockwaves through the dimensions. While everyone understood it was a level beyond Super Saiyan 2, the "cannot be sustained while alive" part sparked immediate confusion. Did one have to be dead to use it?
Garp laughed heartily, though his eyes were sharp. "I knew it! A level beyond the second. But what's this about being dead? Does the power only last if you're a ghost? Hey, Sengoku, what do you think?"
Sengoku snapped back, "What do I think? I'm watching it with my own eyes just like you! We're all seeing this for the first time."
In his spaceship, Frieza's tail lashed out, shattering a nearby console. "No... these Saiyans aren't done yet? I endured the first one, I tolerated the second, and now there's a third? Just tell me the limit! Does it go up to ten? Super Saiyan 10?"
Frieza was losing his mind. The Saiyans had been his loyal lapdogs for decades without a single legendary warrior emerging. Now, they were popping up like weeds. He recalled the earlier video mentioning Namek. Did I really unlock their potential by pushed them to the brink? he wondered bitterly. Am I the reason they've reached these heights?
Lord Beerus, however, remained unimpressed by the numerical climb. "I only want to know if there is a 'Super Saiyan God' among these forms." He leaned forward, wondering if the "God" from his dream was simply another transformation Akira had yet to reveal.
Akira watched the questions pour in but remained silent. Answering them now would ruin the mystery. He wanted the multiverse on the edge of its seat.
The narration began, deep and resonant: "Super Saiyan 3, as the name suggests, is a state that far surpasses the limits of Super Saiyan 2. However, for a long period of time, this specific transformation became Vegeta's greatest pain."
Vegeta, who had been brooding in the gravity chamber, sat up straight. His eyes narrowed. My pain? he thought. Does that mean I was the first to achieve it, but the strain killed me because I was alive?
A smirk crossed the Prince's face. Despite the warning, the prospect of being the first to surpass Kakarot and Gohan filled him with a dark, competitive joy. Was it finally his turn to lead the way?
