Chapter 27 - Chapter 27:When Gods test bloodlines

EARTH-3

SKY ABOVE THE ATLANTIC

The clouds split apart.

A red comet descends, trailing green fire, Ultraman, his cape snapping in the solar wind, his eyes burning with overcharged radiation. He has already consumed the last of his Kryptonite reserves, forcing his physiology into a brutal amplification state.

His aura radiates jagged green lightning, crackling like a dying star.

ULTRAMAN

CURRENT BATTLE POWER EQUIVALENT

(Base Kryptonian under yellow sun, hypercharged)

Estimated combat index: ~2.6 billion

Unstable. Aggressive. Overclocked.

Miru hovers opposite him, breathing steady but coiled, his body humming with controlled power.

Suppressed baseline: 1.2 billion

Combat surge threshold: 2.2+ billion

Ultraman smirks, his lips curling with cold amusement.

"You've been impressive, kid. But impressive isn't enough."

He vanishes.

The shockwave alone flattens several miles of ocean surface.

Miru blocks the opening punch, but the force drives him through three cloud layers and into the upper atmosphere.

Ultraman follows instantly, grabbing Miru by the throat.

"You're holding back."

Miru's aura flickers, golden embers dancing in the void.

"I don't need to go all out."

That was the wrong answer.

Ultraman slams him downward

But before impact

Something else responds.

Far beyond conventional space, something observes.

Not a god.

Not a cosmic far tyrant.

Something older.

Miru's compressed energy spike echoes through dimensional membranes.

A verdict is made.

Two constructs are forged.

They descend like falling stars.

COSMIC AVATARS ARRIVE

They emerge between Earth and Mars, gigantic humanoid silhouettes wreathed in:

• Cosmic Fire

• Stellar Lightning

Each radiates energy equivalent to multiple star systems collapsing simultaneously.

AVATAR ALPHA

Estimated Output: Multi-Solar System Level

Cosmic plasma manipulation.

AVATAR BETA

Estimated Output: Multi-Solar System Level

Gravitational lightning distortion.

They do not speak.

They observe.

And then,

They declare judgment through action.

Dura freezes mid-step.

His instincts scream.

This isn't Saiyan. Not Kryptonian. Not multiversal tech.

Something primordial.

His base power humms at a level he can feel in his bones.

DURA

CURRENT BASE

23,000,000,000

Growing daily.

He has mastered:

• Legendary Super Saiyan, Stage One

Multiplier: x350

Stable. Controlled. Integrated into bloodline.

• Legendary Stage Two (Unstable)

Emotion-based fluctuation: x500 → x1250

He calculates instantly before launch.

TRANSFORMATION CALCULATIONS

• Base: 23,000,000,000

• Stage One (x350): 23,000,000,000 × 350 = 8,050,000,000,000 (8.05 Trillion)

• Stage Two (x500 minimum): 23,000,000,000 × 500 = 11,500,000,000,000 (11.5 Trillion)

• Stage Two (x1250 emotional peak): 23,000,000,000 × 1250 = 28,750,000,000,000 (28.75 Trillion)

He does not transform.

Not yet.

He launches.

Space bends around him as he accelerates.

NEAR MARS

Miru and Ultraman both pause mid-battle as the two Avatars arrive..

Ultraman snarls.

"What the hell are those?"

The first Avatar moves.

It does not fly.

It phases.

Cosmic fire lashes across space, forcing both combatants apart.

Miru senses it immediately.

This is not personal.

This is a test.

DURA ARRIVES

He enters orbit near Mars, coating himself in thick, viscous ki, dense enough to simulate atmosphere and insulation. His aura compresses tightly against his body.

Base power flaring fully:

23,000,000,000

No transformation yet..

He studies them.

He cannot feel their full depth.

That's worse.

Elementals.

He remembers ancient training, how to fight beings made of force rather than flesh.

Do not strike surface. Attack core flow. Disrupt equilibrium.

Avatar Alpha raises its hand.

A ribbon of cosmic flame lashes toward him.

Dura sidestep, not backward, but forward.

He punches directly into the flame.

His ki coating vaporizes instantly.

Pain tears across his arm.

But he finds resistance.

A nucleus.

He strikes again.

Harder.

Mars trembles as shockwaves ripple across its surface.

Avatar Beta answers with gravitational lightning.

Space folds.

Dura vanishes and reappears behind it, delivering a Muay Thai elbow reinforced with compressed ki.

The impact detonates like a star ignition.

Still,

The Avatar does not stagger.

It turns slowly.

Adapting.

Dura grins through blood drifting in zero gravity.

"Good, I don't like weak enemies ."

He remains in base form deliberately.

Each exchange forces his bloodline to analyze cosmic elemental composition.

His muscles adjust. His ki recalibrates.

Avatar Alpha splits into solar flares.

Avatar Beta fractures into lightning arcs.

They attack from opposite vectors.

Dura blocks one,

The other detonates across his back.

His aura cracks.

For the first time since arriving on Earth-3,

He feels outmatched.

His power spikes instinctively toward Stage One,

But he suppresses it.

Not yet.

If he transforms too soon, he learns nothing.

The Avatars combine attacks.

Cosmic fire infused with gravity lightning.

A beam forms.

It hits him full-on.

Mars' atmosphere ignites briefly from the reflected blast.

When the light fades,

Dura still floats there.

Armor of ki shattered.

Skin burned.

Breathing heavy.

Smiling.

"Now we're getting somewhere."

He begins raising power again,

Still base.

Still adapting.

The Avatars begin merging.

Two silhouettes collapsing into one larger entity.

Energy reading rising exponentially.

Dura's eyes narrow.

If that fusion completes,

Even Stage Two might not be enough.

He finally lets a fraction of Legendary bloodline leak outward.

Green energy flickers.

Mars' orbit destabilizes slightly.

The fused Avatar opens what resembles eyes.

And the ancient presence watches closely.

The screen cuts,

Before impact.

DRAGON BALL TIMELINE

CELL GAMES

The timeline has shifted dramatically.

No Vegeta.

No Trunks here.

Only Goku.

Cell stands taller. More refined. Absorbed further experimental upgrades in this altered timeline.

POWER CALCULATIONS

• Goku – Post Hyperbolic Time Chamber

Base: 180,000,000

Mastered Super Saiyan (x50, fully optimized efficiency):

180,000,000 × 50 = 9,000,000,000

Near zero stamina drain. Perfect ki control.

• Perfect Cell (Enhanced Timeline Variant)

Base equivalent: 11,500,000,000

Cell smirks.

"You've improved, Goku."

Goku stands calm.

Serious.

Three years ago,

A flashback.

DURA & GOKU TRAINING

Dura's voice echoes in Goku's memory.

"Cell won't fight like Frieza. He'll bait you. Break your rhythm. Don't test him. Finish him."

Goku nods in the past.

Back to present,

Cell charges.

This time, Goku does not smile.

Does not test.

He attacks immediately at full Mastered Super Saiyan.

Their clash shatters mountains.

No arrogance.

No games.

Gohan, only six years old, watches from home beside Master Roshi.

He grips the couch.

Roshi whispers:

"Your father's different."

FUTURE TRUNKS' TIMELINE

Trunks stands inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

One year passes.

He emerges.

Calm. Focused. Eyes sharp.

He has ascended beyond.

Super Saiyan 2, Mastered

Base: 350,000,000

SSJ2 (x100 equivalent overall amplification):

350,000,000 × 100 = 35,000,000,000

Stronger than the Androids of his world.

He remembers Dura's warning:

"Never relax. You're alone in that universe so don't stagnate ."

The Androids feel fear for the first time.

BACK TO MARS

The fused Avatar finishes forming.

Its energy dwarfs its previous state.

Dura finally stops suppressing.

Green aura explodes outward.

Legendary Stage One begins to rise,

But we don't see the full transformation yet.

Space warps.

Mars fractures along its equator.

Ultraman and Miru watch from a distance.

The ancient presence tightens its grip on reality itself.

Dura clenches his fists.

Bloodline roaring.

And for the first time,

He wonders:

Is this a test?

Or an execution?
