"Grand Kai-sama, sh-should this tournament continue?" The West King Kai leaned in and whispered to the Grand Kai.
The true purpose of hosting this tournament was naturally known to the four King Kais as well.
Now that Cell was dead, it seemed there was no need to continue.
"Hmm..." The Grand Kai stroked the beard on his chin, momentarily in a dilemma.
"Sublime! As expected of Lott!"
At that moment, Goku's excited shout drew the attention of everyone, including the Grand Kai.
Goku, standing beside the North King Kai, was impatiently hopping up and down on the lawn.
While hopping, he said cheerfully:
"I can't wait to get on stage already. Am I next? I'd really like to fight Lott towards the end."
For a moment, everyone in the universe looked at Goku as if he were an idiot.
'No, no, did he not grasp the situation?'
'You don't actually think you can still win, do you?'
The Grand Kai's lips curled up slightly. "Since the atmosphere here is so lively, let's contin-"
[Ding! Group video updated - "Burn! Hot Battle! Fierce Battle! Super Fierce Battle! The Legendary Super Saiyan"]
Just as the Grand Kai was about to announce the tournament's continuation, the system notification from the chat group once again drew the attention of all universal members.
'A system-official group video release?'
It had been a long time since the last one.
And seeing this title, everyone's breathing unconsciously quickened.
The Legendary Super Saiyan... Although they didn't quite understand what it meant, it sounded incredibly powerful, didn't it?
"Grand Kai-sama, this..." The West King Kai sought instructions again.
"Hmm~~ Let's watch this before proceeding to the next match," The Grand Kai decided.
This title was quite eye-catching, so he wanted to see it too.
'The Legendary Super Saiyan?'
'What exactly was it?'
…
Planet Magic.
Lott, having reverted from his green-haired form, landed slowly.
Under the fearful gazes of the surrounding Fairy Tail Guild's members, Lott suddenly patted his well-defined, muscular abdomen and said offhandedly:
"Got a bit of exercise, I'm hungry again."
Seeing Lott raise his hand, placing his index and middle fingers on his forehead, Lucy, Makarov, Gray, and most guild members' expressions lit up with joy.
They had seen that gesture many times before.
It was Instant Transmission!
It meant Lott intended to leave.
Lucy patted her impressive chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
'Thank goodness.'
However, at that moment, a graceful figure approached Lott and said with a smile:
"Ara ara~ Lott-san, are you hungry? Would you like to try some of the delicacies of our Fiore Kingdom? My cooking skills aren't bad either. If you don't mind, would you like to give it a try?"
The entire Fairy Tail Guild was so shocked their jaws nearly hit the floor.
Lott also turned to look.
The person who had approached was the Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mage and receptionist, Mirajane Strauss.
Although she was trying hard to maintain a friendly and amiable smile, her trembling legs beneath her long dress betrayed her true feelings.
"...Ah, sure." Although he didn't know what this little lady was thinking, Lott didn't refuse.
"Then please wait a moment, I'll prepare it for you right away." Mirajane gave a slight bow and hurried towards the neighboring restaurant to borrow the kitchen.
The other guild members, and even the entire population of the Planet Mage, were completely dumbfounded.
'Damn it, Mirajane, what madness has possessed you!?'
'The monster was about to leave on his own, why are you keeping him here!?'
Erza quietly followed her, grabbing her friend's arm and whispering:
"Mira, what are you thinking!?"
Mirajane, putting on an apron and starting to chop vegetables, had calmed down considerably. She replied:
"Erza, you know Zeref's empire is preparing to go to war with us, right?"
Erza was taken aback.
The Alvarez Empire, a militaristic magic nation across the sea from the Ishgar Continent, was an empire founded by the Black Wizard Zeref.
Erza had heard about this from their Guild Master, Makarov.
And Makarov had also said that Zeref originally intended to lead his army to attack their Ishgar Continent.
It was just that the Grand Kai suddenly organizing the Universe's Number One Martial Arts Tournament caused the matter to be temporarily postponed.
"But, but what does that have to do with you detaining that man?" Erza asked, puzzled.
"Do you think we can defeat the empire led by Zeref?" Mirajane countered.
Erza was momentarily speechless.
Leaving aside the Black Wizard Zeref himself, rumors said the Alvarez Empire also had 12 ultra-powerful mages whose strength surpassed the Ten Wizard Saints, and a super magic army composed of 700 Mage Guilds.
No matter how confident Erza was in her own and her comrades' strength, she didn't think their chances were very high-
At this point, Mirajane pointed at Lott, who was sitting in the center of the ruined guild, legs crossed, waiting. She whispered:
"But for that man, it's just a matter of waving his hand."
Erza's mouth opened slightly as she instantly understood Mirajane's intention.
Meanwhile, ninety-nine percent of the people in the universe opened the new file just uploaded by the group system.
"Waaah... waaah... waaah..."
As the video began, the picture wasn't clear yet, but the sound of a baby crying, one cry after another, was the first thing to enter the ears of the universal audience.
What came into the group members' view next was a room filled with oval-shaped cribs.
Looking around, all these babies had long tails protruding from their behinds.
Kagura Chizuru instinctively looked at the daughter sleeping in her arms.
And... the furry tail sticking out from her backside.
"Saiyans!?"
The Nakano Quintuplets on the other side, and people across the universe, subconsciously shouted that word.
"Waaah- Waaah- Waaah-"
The crying from the beginning of the video grew louder.
The camera gradually zoomed in, finally focusing on two infants.
The baby on the left, with messy, unruly hair, was wailing incessantly. The baby on the right, with long, straight black hair, had an impatient look on his face.
[Bulma: Is that... Goku and Lott?]
The features of newborns aren't very distinct, but Bulma could vaguely recognize their identities from the babies' hairstyles.
Then, the female Saiyans with tails standing beside the cribs in the video chattered among themselves:
"Lott is so amazing. Just after birth, his power level has already reached 10,000 points."
"Mhm, compared to that, Bardock's son Kakarot next to him is far worse. His battle power is only 2, and he's been scared into crying."
Hearing the female Saiyans' conversation, the group members who had some understanding of 'power level' had an instant, drastic change in expression.
[Krillin: Wh-what did she just say? T-ten thousand? Newborn Lott's b-battle power is ten thousand?]
[Master Roshi: Krillin, what's your battle power again? Didn't Bulma give you one of those scouters before she went to Planet Terra?]
[Piccolo: Krillin is a little over 300, not even 400. Old man Turtle, you're around 200.]
[Yamcha: Wait, wait, wait! I remember back when Goku first challenged Frieza, his battle power was less than 3000, right? And Lott here is 10,000? This...]
It wasn't just the Z-Fighters on Earth.
The universal audience, the contestants on Grand Kai's Planet, and the King Kais were all stunned.
The beautiful eyes of women like Bai Yuekui and Tifa Lockhart were fixed on the infant Lott sleeping in the crib next to Goku's.
'Th-that little runt, that small... battle power 10,000!?'
'Ah, this... We know you're strong, but, but you can't be this outrageous, right?'
And on the Planet Magic.
Natsu, Gray, and the others, standing frozen, barely daring to breathe, felt their eyeballs were about to fall out.
They hadn't received scouters and didn't know their own battle power.
But from watching videos before, they had often heard characters state their battle power.
A relatively good reference point was when Goku first challenged Frieza and was already confirmed to have planet-busting power- his battle power was less than 3000.
Yet now, newborn Lott's battle power was 10,000.
'N-no... even cheating has to have some basic rules, right?'
'Isn't this going too far?!'
"No wonder Lott used to call Goku 'roommate' before."
Bulma recalled something then.
That was, when Lott first contacted Goku through the universe chat group, he addressed him as 'roommate'.
At the time, Bulma and the others found it strange.
Now, seeing this, they really were roommates.
Thud!
Just then, in the video, the door was thrown open violently.
A middle-aged man who looked extremely similar to Vegeta, but with a beard on his chin, led a large group of adult Saiyans into the nursery.
The female Saiyans responsible for caring for the infants were startled and exclaimed:
"King Vegeta, what is the meaning of this!?"
King Vegeta looked coldly at the sleeping infant Lott and said sternly:
"Kill Lott for me!"
