During his stay on Planet Metamor, Raditz had several exchanges with the old master, which deepened his understanding of the entire combat system and made him feel he'd gained new insights.
At the time, the old man had noticed that Raditz was unusual, and the more they communicated, the more surprised he became. In the end, he lamented that such miraculous Saiyans existed in the universe. Both sides learned from each other, admired each other, and got along wonderfully.
After staying for more than a month, Raditz had firmly grasped the fundamentals, and more profound techniques could only be mastered through continuous practice—but that practice didn't necessarily have to be performed on Planet Metamor.
Therefore, Raditz bid farewell to the fighters and decided to leave.
After finding the spaceship resting on the small island, Raditz entered coordinates himself, then launched into space and headed straight into the universe.
The structure of the sixth universe was similar to that of the seventh universe, and there was also a Planet Namek. If Raditz wanted to return home, he could ask the Namekians for help. But Raditz's current trajectory deviated far from Namek's orbit, flying toward the other side of the universe.
At the same time, several bright spots flashed on his spaceship's star map—coordinates engraved in Raditz's mind when he'd made his wish to Shenron, the coordinates of the Super Dragon Balls!
The power of the Super Dragon Balls was undoubtedly the strongest, capable of granting even wishes that crossed universes and transcended divine levels. They were created by the dragon god Zalama and distributed across the sixth and seventh universes. It was said that their red star markings could be seen from any angle, like enormous planets.
In his own universe, Raditz had already collected one by accident and placed it near the North Kai's planet. He'd never had the chance to come to the sixth universe before. Now that he was here, he might as well try to find the Super Dragon Balls.
In addition to his gains from Planet Metamor, the Super Dragon Balls were also a great treasure he could encounter during this trip.
The boundless universe welcomed Raditz again, with stars big and small shining brilliantly. Countless rotating galaxies were psychedelic and alluring, dotted in the darkness like gems inlaid across the heavens.
The process of finding the Super Dragon Balls was lengthy, and Raditz couldn't use instant transmission to reach them based solely on star map locations—he could only fly to his targets at full speed in the spaceship.
It took almost a month before Raditz arrived at the location of the first Super Dragon Ball.
The spaceship hovered at a distance, and Raditz flew out of the cabin to see the giant orange-red planet. That was it—a Super Dragon Ball. The stars within had been refracted so that people from all angles could see them. Its crystal-clear appearance was round and gorgeous. Most shocking was its size, as huge as three Earths.
The closer he got, the more sacred it felt. Raditz was as small as a grain of sand when he approached the Super Dragon Ball.
"Last time I transported one, I nearly died from exhaustion. This time my strength has improved considerably—maybe it'll be better?" Raditz murmured to himself, pressing one hand against it and focusing his psychic power to cover the entire Dragon Ball.
The brilliant surface was translucent with hints of bright orange, smooth and flawless. As if responding to Raditz's spiritual power, the Super Dragon Ball shone even more brightly.
Energy enveloped the Super Dragon Ball like a shield. Last time he could only cover half of it. Now Raditz could encompass it completely. His spiritual power extended to every corner of the Super Dragon Ball, the vast energy causing fluctuations in the surrounding space.
Sweat broke out on Raditz's forehead as his physical strength rapidly depleted.
"Move!"
Instant transmission expanded! Raditz dragged the Super Dragon Ball and leaped to the vicinity of Planet Sadala! Such large-scale movement across vast space was unimaginable—even Kibito and Shin couldn't accomplish it!
But Raditz did it—the largest teleportation ever!
Raditz felt completely drained after placing the Super Dragon Ball. He was panting violently and desperately needed oxygen, so he returned to Planet Sadala to rest again.
The Super Dragon Ball shone above Planet Sadala. From the ground, it looked like an extra star. Only Raditz understood that the bright light was the greatest treasure.
After looking up for a while, Raditz calmed down and felt the cool breeze.
Collecting one Super Dragon Ball had left Raditz physically and mentally exhausted. There were still two more scattered in the sixth universe, and it would likely take considerable effort.
After resting briefly, Raditz found Renso alone and asked him for another spaceship. The two chatted for a while, discussing Cabba and Caulifla, who had successfully become Super Saiyans and were eager to compete with Raditz again.
When Raditz heard this, he thought to himself that he didn't want to get entangled with Caulifla right now. He hurriedly boarded the spaceship and flew away.
The second Super Dragon Ball was relatively close, and Raditz only took a few days to reach the target coordinates.
In the vast universe, the galaxy was brilliant.
There were several huge planets near the coordinates, and Raditz was overjoyed for a moment, quickly zooming in on the star map. Oddly, nothing appeared when he zoomed to the most precise position—there was nothing around the lone bright spot.
Impossible! This was the position Shenron had told him, and it would never be wrong.
The spaceship flew around the coordinate point for a long time, and Raditz checked all the surrounding planets, but found no second Super Dragon Ball. The orange glow and transparent red star should be very eye-catching, but this area seemed completely empty.
"Could it be covered by space dust, making it invisible from the surface?" Raditz thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, even if the surface were covered, the size couldn't be drastically different. Here..."
He looked through the porthole, and none of the planets he could see matched the Super Dragon Ball's size. The creations of the Dragon God were completely flawless—there would never be such a significant gap in size! There was only one possibility: the Super Dragon Ball was no longer there!
The star map location given to him by Porunga hadn't been updated in time. Maybe the Super Dragon Ball's orbit had changed in recent years, or it had been moved away.
But who could it be? Raditz was puzzled.
At the same time, Caulifla and Cabba were training hard in the wilderness. The strength of the two wasn't much different, and they fought with great intensity. Since becoming Super Saiyans, Cabba had become the official captain of the Sadala Defense Force, and Caulifla had also returned as a member.
The two led the Sadala Defense Force to even greater glory with their powerful presence, becoming role models that everyone envied.
After completing several missions and returning to Planet Sadala, the two would have a hearty battle every day, laughing as they liberated their Saiyan nature.
They kept training, partly to fight against Raditz when he visited again someday.
"This is great! We can't go all out with the others—it's always more fun fighting you!" Caulifla shouted, grinning wildly. The rush of battle had completely taken hold of her, and for the first time in a long while, she felt truly free.
"Don't hold back, Cabba! Hit me harder!"
Cabba, on the other hand, remained focused and disciplined. He couldn't afford to be careless—not against her. His stance was solid, his eyes locked onto Caulifla with unwavering concentration.
Just beyond the battlefield, hidden behind a jagged stone outcrop, Kale stood silently.
She pressed her lips together, her hands clenched at her sides. Her gaze was locked on Caulifla—intense, conflicted, and filled with emotions she couldn't quite name. Longing? Admiration? Jealousy?
Maybe all three.
She didn't blink as her senior sister charged forward again, laughing in the heat of combat. Kale remained in the shadows, unnoticed... but not unaffected.
