"Even without that, it wasn't like you were wasting time, right?"
Eevee laughed cheerfully, "Come on, your shadow clones haven't exactly been slacking off these past few years!"
"Senju Jerry and Uchiha Tom! Seriously, your clones really know how to mess around!"
"Plus, you've already cracked and created so many Kekkei Genkai abilities? Oh man, now that's exciting! I might actually be able to boost my elemental forms even further! Jackpot!"
"And more importantly, I can even inject some of these genetic traits into mine and Cynthia's Pokémon to make them stronger!"
This was some seriously good stuff.
For example, he could give Leafeon Wood Release and Sage Body genetics. Pikachu? Sharingan and Sage Body.
Cynthia's Glaceon could inherit Ice Release…
The possibilities were endless!
On top of that, a bunch of biotech—like cloning organs and such—had been fully developed by Uchiha Renzo's shadow clones over the years. Now those could easily be added to Eevee's Company product catalog too.
"No doubt, this stuff is gold," OPM Renzo agreed. "With a little modification, it could totally work as a type of psychic power enhancer!"
"I might even do some research into developing that kind of psychic drug myself."
As for introducing chakra into his own world, the One Punch Man?
Yeah… hard pass. Psychic powers were way more practical over there.
Dragorr chuckled, "Psychic enhancement potions, huh? Count me in! Let's make it a group project."
"Honestly, just the Sage Body serum alone would be a massive boost for martial arts training. Huge bump in stamina and recovery! First thing I'm doing when I get back is give Bulma and the others a dose!"
In the Dragon Ball world, crisis was basically a daily routine. A few years back, King Piccolo had already made his move… and then got wrecked by Goku.
Of course, the next generation emerged too—Piccolo Jr., aka the better version. That outcome had been tacitly approved by Renzo.
After all, Kami and Piccolo were two halves of the same coin. If Piccolo died, Kami would too.
And Renzo wasn't ready to give up Kami just yet—he still needed him to keep the Dragon Balls functional. Not to mention Earth needed someone to manage the supernatural chaos.
As of now, over nine years had passed in the Dragon Ball timeline.
Renzo had even taken Goku and the gang to train with King Kai and learned the Kaio-ken technique.
Judging by the original storyline, this was the year Raditz would show up on Earth, kicking off the start of Dragon Ball Z.
Of course, Dragorr hadn't been idle all this time. He'd been quietly laying the groundwork for years.
And in terms of power, he was now on a terrifying level.
He could already transform into Super Saiyan 1.
Part of that came from having a top-tier bloodline. The rest? Pure Renzo cheat codes.
"If you guys manage to develop those Kekkei Genkai-based superpower serums, make sure you let me know," Uchiha Renzo said with a grin. "I'm super interested in that kind of thing."
OPM Renzo gave him a thumbs-up. "No problem!"
"By the way… has anyone seen Swordsman or Hero Renzo recently?" Uchiha Renzo asked suddenly.
From what he gathered through everyone's shared memories, the last time these two showed up was over a year ago.
Clearly, once the time-flow acceleration kicked in, they just stopped appearing.
"Yeah, they have been totally missing," Hermione sighed. "Swordsman said something about breaking through the void and then just vanished! Who knows if he's gone into secluded training or something went wrong."
"Or maybe he is still training. I remember him saying his world's martial arts had hit a dead end, and he wanted to find a new path."
"Fair enough," Uchiha Renzo nodded. "Hitting a ceiling in your world's power system is a real thing. And trying to carve a brand-new path? That's even harder."
In the two years since the time-speed changes in the consciousness space, everyone had made solid progress.
Chef Renzo had already become a Special-Class Chef over a year ago and was currently gathering legendary cooking tools.
Time had passed quickly over there too.
Meanwhile, Gundam Renzo had used spaceship tech from Dragon Ball Renzo to push Earth's civilization into space exploration.
They had already discovered over a dozen habitable planets and begun colonization and development.
Even Apocalypse Renzo had taken humanity from survival mode to cosmic expansion.
No apocalypse anymore.
In his world, the all Earth was now ruled by one new force.
Of course, Apocalypse Renzo was now the top-level authority in that new force—and also the richest man in the world.
As for Outcast Renzo? He'd already collected several of the Eight Miracle Techniques, and even managed to woo Baobao.
As for Ottoman, he's already taken control of Africa, the Middle East, and is starting to make moves into parts of Europe.
The unification process is still ongoing, but it's progressing slowly—and that's because Ottoman wants to unite the world without shedding a single drop of blood, at least not by his own hand.
Of course, corrupt individuals and evil forces are dealt with quietly, but there are no wars, no sending young people off to die for the sake of the greedy.
He's not in a rush to steamroll everything at once. Instead, he's taking it step by step—every time he conquers a new region peacefully, he enacts reforms and genuinely tries to improve the lives of the people.
Another reason for his careful pace is that he's been studying the strange new traces of power appearing in the world.
He's now convinced that either his world is going to merge with a supernatural one, or it's on the verge of becoming supernatural itself.
Maybe he was even born into one of those modern anime or novel worlds he used to read about—just in the past. Who knows?
In the One Piece world, Pirate Renzo himself is already sailing the Grand Line alongside Zoro and Kuina. Time-wise, it's only been about three years.
But one of his shadow clones? Yeah, that one's been stirring up a storm in the New World under the name "Uchiha Madara." It's causing chaos.
Everyone else has been developing nicely too.

Stepping out of the consciousness space, Eevee stretched and gave a cheerful grin. "Man, I've got some good stuff to share with Cynthia!"
In the Pokémon world—
Without missing a beat, Eevee tapped at his communication wristband and called her up. "Hey babe, where are you right now?"
Cynthia's voice came through, smiling as always: "I'm out shopping with Sabrina in Jubilife City. Why, miss me already?"
To clarify, it wasn't just Eevee and Cynthia anymore. It was Eevee, Cynthia, and Sabrina—the three of them had made their relationship official over two years ago.
Gotta admit, Eevee pulled off quite the miracle, getting both of them to agree to this. Then again, Cynthia and Sabrina had been close since they were kids. That probably helped.
"Huh? When did Sabrina get there?" Eevee blinked, surprised. "I don't remember hearing about this!"
Sabrina giggled and leaned into the frame. "That's because I wanted to surprise you! Don't tell me you forgot—your birthday's tomorrow! Got anything you want?"
Over the years, Sabrina's personality had opened up a lot—at least around Eevee and Cynthia. With strangers, she still had her signature aloof vibe.
Well, she was the famous Psychic Queen of Kanto. A little chilliness was expected.
"Wait—my birthday?" Eevee paused, then suddenly laughed. "Oh! Right, that is coming up."
Of course, the date wasn't based on his actual birth—he didn't even know when that was. It was the day he'd first transformed into a human.
"Doesn't matter what the gift is—if it's from you two, I'll love it."
"Oh, and I've got good news too. I've made some serious breakthroughs. They can boost your Pokémon's strength and potential—and even enhance your own abilities!"
Eevee grinned like a kid with a secret.
Once he injected them with the Kekkei Genkai serums and taught them the decoded ninjutsu, plus planted chakra seeds in them… well, let's just say Cynthia and Sabrina would practically become human Pokémon themselves.
"No way, seriously?"
Both Cynthia and Sabrina were stunned.
"You never said anything about this before!" Cynthia rolled her eyes. "How many secrets are you keeping from us, huh?"
Typical Eevee—he loved dropping bombshells out of nowhere.
