[Ding!
System scanning…] This time, the System’s immense power pierced through the barrier of the universe, ascending to a higher dimension before locking onto the Grand Priest within Zeno’s Palace.
The analysis took noticeably longer this time.
About a minute later, the System finally returned the results.
[Ding!
According to the System’s analysis, if the Host wishes to surpass the Grand Priest, your potential must be developed to at least 71%.] “It actually works?” Shin’s jaw dropped.
Originally, he had assumed that even unlocking 100% of his potential might not be enough to surpass Beerus.
Yet now the System was telling him that only 71% was enough to surpass the Grand Priest.
“System… are you sure you’re not joking?” Shin asked cautiously, his heart pounding with excitement.
[Ding!
Based solely on statistical analysis, the System’s conclusion is correct.
However, statistics are only one aspect of combat.
Whether the Host can truly defeat an opponent also depends on combat mechanics.] The System’s words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling Shin’s excitement.
“So mechanics matter too…” Shin had expected things wouldn’t be that simple.
The moment the System mentioned mechanics, however, one person immediately came to mind.
Someone who simply couldn’t be ignored in the Dragon Ball universe.
Zeno.
Setting aside Zeno’s raw power, his abilities alone allowed him to dominate the entire universe.
If the Dragon Ball world were a drawing on paper, then Zeno’s ability was the eraser.
Whoever displeased him… He simply erased them.
A truly unbeatable ability.
“System… then how much of my potential would I need for my raw power to surpass Zeno?” Shin asked carefully.
After all, everyone knew what kind of existence Zeno was.
Even with the System capable of scanning across dimensions, Shin wasn’t completely confident.
[Ding!
System scanning…] The System’s immense power once again ascended into the higher dimension, arriving at Zeno’s Palace and locking onto Zeno, who was currently playing with planets as though they were marbles.
[Ding!
According to the System’s analysis, if the Host wishes to surpass Zeno in raw power, your potential must be developed to at least 91%.] “Ninety-one percent?” Shin blinked in surprise.
“Are that little guy’s stats really that high?
I always thought he relied entirely on his abilities.” Zeno truly stood at the absolute peak of the Dragon Ball world.
Yet the strongest impression he left on people wasn’t his physical strength.
It was his completely unreasonable ability.
As for his raw power… It hardly seemed to match his tiny appearance.
“The strongest really is the strongest.” “Whether it’s raw power or abilities, he’s completely invincible.” Shin sighed.
But then another thought suddenly crossed his mind.
The System had silently scanned and analyzed even Zeno.
Didn’t that make the System even more incredible than Zeno himself?
Gulp… Shin suddenly felt nervous.
What right did he have?
Before transmigrating, he had been nothing more than an ordinary office worker.
Why had such an overwhelmingly powerful System chosen him?
“No…” “I can’t keep thinking about this.” “The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.” Shin shook his head, forcing those thoughts aside.
It didn’t matter why the System had chosen him.
What mattered was that, before the System, he wasn’t even worth mentioning.
There was no point dwelling on it.
Thinking about it wouldn’t change anything.
“Right!” “System, I haven’t signed in today, have I?” Shin suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked.
[Correct.] Shin immediately became anxious.
“Then what are you waiting for?” “Sign me in and increase my potential!” [Ding!
Sign-in complete.
You have obtained 1 Origin Point.] [Ding!
1 Origin Point consumed.
Your potential has been developed.
Current progress: 0.03%.] As his potential increased once more… Shin experienced another complete transformation.
Power surged through every part of his body.
An overwhelming strength hidden within his seemingly slender frame awakened again, filling him with excitement.
After calming down, Shin asked, “System, can you switch the sign-in process to automatic?” “I’m worried that once I start cultivating seriously, I’ll lose track of time and forget to sign in.” [Yes.] [Ding!
Would you like to change Manual Sign-in Mode to Automatic Sign-in Mode?] [Yes / No] Looking at the two options, Shin chose [Yes] without hesitation.
[Ding!
Modification complete.
Manual Sign-in Mode has been changed to Automatic Sign-in Mode.
The System will automatically sign in every day at midnight.
Would you like to enable the Sign-in Reminder function?] [Yes / No] “Sign-in Reminder?” “Does that mean it’ll notify me after each automatic sign-in?” Shin asked.
[Yes.] “If I don’t enable it, will it affect the automatic sign-ins?” [No.] “Then leave it disabled.” [Understood.
The Sign-in Reminder function has been disabled.
The System will continue signing in automatically, but no notifications will be sent.
Please check your Origin Point balance yourself.] “Got it.” Shin closed the System interface and continued adapting to his newly increased strength.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind reached his ears.
Looking up, Shin saw a tall man with white hair and pink skin flying toward him.
“Kibito…” The attendant of the East Supreme Kai.
A character whose presence in the anime was arguably even weaker than the Supreme Kai’s.
Kibito landed before Shin and respectfully bowed.
“Lord Supreme Kai.” “Mhm.” Shin nodded, clasping his hands behind his back as he deliberately maintained a calm, aloof demeanor.
“What is it?” “Lord Supreme Kai, the Galactic King has sent a request for assistance.
The region under his jurisdiction is currently being invaded by the Frieza Force.
Should this subordinate go and assist him?” “The Galactic King?” Shin searched through the memories of his predecessor.
He wasn’t particularly familiar with the Galactic King, but he quickly found the relevant information.
To his surprise… The Galactic King was actually subordinate to the East Supreme Kai.
“The Frieza Force…” Just hearing Frieza’s name gave Shin another headache.
According to the original Dragon Ball storyline, Frieza was someone the Supreme Kai could eliminate with a casual wave of his hand.
Yet after remaining dead for over ten years… Frieza suddenly skyrocketed in power.
Without the slightest warning.
Only four months.
In just four months, Frieza’s strength exploded as though he had activated some outrageous cheat.
He leaped across countless realms of power, going from an insignificant weakling to one of the strongest beings in existence.
By then, all it would take was a single finger for him to crush the once-mighty Supreme Kai.
Seriously… By the later stages of the story, it felt as though anyone—or even any ghost—could step on the Supreme Kai.
Did being a Supreme Kai count for nothing anymore?
And then there was Goku and the others.
They had endured endless life-and-death battles, harsh training, and countless hardships to reach their later strength.
Yet compared to Frieza… All of their effort suddenly seemed almost laughable.
Shin felt that even with his own cheat, he couldn’t replicate Frieza’s absurd rate of growth.
So what kind of cheat had Frieza awakened back then?
It was so outrageous that even the System’s abilities couldn’t compare.
“Yes, Lord Supreme Kai.” “The Frieza Force is a rapidly rising power within the universe.
Their momentum is tremendous, and they appear intent on unifying the North Galaxy.” “Should this subordinate go and stop them?” (End of Chapter 3)
