Chapter 79: Origin Race's Progenitor?
Space froze. Time froze. After finally escaping that kaleidoscopic world and returning to the normal one, Franklin realized everything around him had gone still.
Lala's face showed a mix of curiosity and surprise as she stared at the peach-pink phantom behind her. She didn't move. Son Gohan was the same.
Franklin tried shaking them, but it was as if their entire bodies had been fused with the surrounding space—they couldn't budge at all.
Just as Franklin stood there, a little lost, something seemed to flicker at the edge of his vision. Looking closer, he saw a barely noticeable crack appear out of thin air not far away.
If the surrounding space-time hadn't been frozen, Franklin wasn't sure he would have even noticed that tiny fissure. The moment he tried to approach it, the crack rapidly spread.
In an instant, the single line of a crack turned into a web of fractures. The next second, the space shattered like glass. A pink-haired girl wearing a pink veil leisurely floated out of the broken space.
The moment she emerged, Franklin—one of the few still able to move—fell directly into her line of sight. She smiled slightly, and in a blink, she was standing before him.
"So, you're the one who stole my pill? And caused such a big commotion?"
Franklin's body wouldn't fully obey him. Although he didn't sense any hostility from the pink-haired girl, her appearance, identical to the peach-pink phantom, and the overwhelming feeling she gave off—told Franklin that, once again, his dimensional summoning had offended someone. And this time, it was someone unimaginably ancient and terrifyingly powerful.
"Your thoughts are really rude, you know. I'm only eighteen this year, not some ancient monster who's lived for who knows how long.
I'm not here to settle scores. That pill is useless to me. I came because I sensed a bloodline similar to mine.
Also, you should be grateful I was the first one to show up. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble. A bloodline aura this strong will definitely attract powerful hunters who specialize in preying on bloodlines.
And with that stolen Bloodline Fusion Pill of yours—tsk tsk—one hunter would be enough to erase this world entirely. Two would smash it to pieces.
But since you gave my junior a pill, I'll lend you a hand. Next time you act this recklessly, don't count on being this lucky."
As she spoke, the girl casually waved her hand. The peach-pink phantom immediately shrank and solidified, finally merging completely with Lala.
The golden phantom shrank and solidified as well, splitting into two before merging into Franklin and Son Gohan's bodies.
When everything was done, the girl looked at Franklin again with a smile.
"Your talent is quite impressive. I'm honestly looking forward to meeting you again in the future. Don't die too early, or it'll be boring.
I've already dispersed that bloodline aura into tiny fragments and hidden it across parallel timelines. This place is safe now. Goodbye."
In the blink of an eye, the pink-haired, veiled girl vanished. The shattered space restored itself, and the frozen time resumed its flow.
The more Franklin recalled the girl's face and voice, the more certain he felt—she looked exactly like the Origin Race bloodline projection from Lala.
"Eh, she's already gone? Oh well. I actually feel more energized now. Lin, when did you run so far away?"
Lala came running toward him excitedly. Franklin instinctively channeled spiritual energy into his eyes, activating the Eye of True Sight.

The removal of the Deviluke tail weakness was definitely a good thing, but Franklin couldn't shake a strange emptiness in his heart. Watching Lala run up to him, the constantly swaying tail caught all of his attention.
Just as he was about to reach out and test it, Goku and Krillin landed nearby. Goku carefully observed Gohan, then probed his energy, scratching his head in confusion.
"That power I felt just now… it was stronger than mine. How did it suddenly disappear? Brother Franklin, I remember you can check people's stats in detail, right? Can you help me see what changed in Gohan?"
Franklin smiled. "That's exactly what I'm curious about too."
As he spoke, Franklin activated the Eye of True Sight once more.

After reading Gohan's stats, Franklin also glanced at the basic data on the Dimensional Heavenly Tome. His combat power hadn't changed, but he could feel it—he was just one step away from breaking through to four digits.
