"The Two-Star Dragon Ball... The Super Dragon Ball is indeed astonishingly large."
After more than four hours of travel, Zuke finally arrived at the location of the nearest Super Dragon Ball.
This Super Dragon Ball was located near a still-primitive planet in Universe 7, hanging in the sky and emitting a dazzling light, almost like a second sun.
Of course, although the cube-shaped spaceship had traveled for four hours, for Zuke, who was inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber within the spaceship, it felt like more than half a month had passed.
This was the result of Zuke not maximizing the time ratio in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber—if he had, those four hours would have felt like two months to him.
After all, Zuke was still somewhat different from a true Saiyan. With a sparring partner, he could train well, but training alone, he really couldn't endure for such a long time.
Half a month was already his limit, and now he was eager to quickly claim this Two-Star Super Dragon Ball and leave the mission world.
As for how to claim the Super Dragon Ball...
Zuke opened the door of the cube-shaped spaceship and jumped out—the intense pressure of the cosmic environment immediately brought an uncomfortable experience to his Saiyan body.
Suffocation, pressure, radiation—all of these penetrated Zuke's body. If he were a normal Saiyan, he would have died by now.
But Zuke possessed immortality, so he was still alive—the cosmic environment of the Dragon Ball world wasn't much different from that of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, as he had experienced when fighting against AA-ZEUS and TY-PHON.
Looking at the massive cube-shaped spaceship beside him, Zuke reached out his hand, and a giant golden key appeared in his grasp.
This was an object called the "Key of the King's Law." Although it was a key, its structure was hollowed out in various geometric shapes—this was the key to the Gate of Babylon.
As Zuke swung the Key of the King's Law toward the cube-shaped spaceship, a golden ripple enveloped the spaceship, and in the next moment, it disappeared from Zuke's side.
That's right, Zuke could now use the "Gate of Babylon" to store the cube-shaped spaceship.
Previously, the cube-shaped spaceship was essentially still Whis's property, but now, with Whis's approval, the spaceship had completely become Zuke's possession.
Thus, the Gate of Babylon could finally store it, and Zuke could summon the cube-shaped spaceship in other worlds using the Gate of Babylon.
After storing the cube-shaped spaceship, Zuke naturally turned his attention to the massive Two-Star Super Dragon Ball.
Although the Dragon Ball was as large as a planet, the Gate of Babylon was a conceptual Noble Phantasm, capable of storing objects of any size.
Zuke aimed the Key of the King's Law at the Two-Star Super Dragon Ball and twisted it as if turning a doorknob—a golden ripple instantly enveloped the Super Dragon Ball and stored it within the Gate of Babylon.
Of course, Zuke could have done as the angels in the original story did, using "ki" or "divine power" to tie the Super Dragon Ball to his back or attach it to the cube-shaped spaceship and fly away with it.
But that would have been too conspicuous. Zuke was a low-key person, so storing it in the Gate of Babylon was the better option.
This massive Super Dragon Ball had been sitting in the cosmos, with no one claiming ownership. I thought no one wanted it, so isn't it reasonable for me to pick it up and store it in my treasury?
...
While Zuke's act of taking the Super Dragon Ball might have been insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, it was a different story for the planet near the Super Dragon Ball.
"...What's going on!? That huge 'planet' suddenly disappeared!?"
Babidi, who had been impatiently waiting for Dabura to return on the primitive planet, widened his eyes as he looked at the suddenly dimmed sky.
The sky of this planet had originally been exceptionally bright, much brighter than that of many other planets—the reason being the presence of a strange, golden-glowing planet nearby.
But now, that planet had vanished in the blink of an eye, causing the entire planet's light to dim significantly.
It wasn't as dark as night, but it was as if the lights in a room had been turned down by more than half.
Even some of the demon beasts around him became restless due to the sudden dimming of the environment—if not for the fact that they were under his control, these beasts might have started fighting each other.
"Something's wrong. That 'planet' couldn't have just disappeared out of nowhere. Someone must have done this!"
Babidi was getting uneasy. He was naturally a very timid person, and this sudden anomaly filled him with fear.
Dabura wasn't by his side right now, and if there was any danger, he couldn't rely on the demon beasts around him. He needed to find out who had done this!
Without hesitation, Babidi immediately used his magic to scan the area around the planet—as long as there was someone nearby, he could use this spell to determine their appearance.
Normally, a cowardly person like Babidi wouldn't dare to do something so intrusive. What if he accidentally offended some powerful being passing by? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
But Babidi was confident in this regard. In order to gather energy for Majin Buu, he had been traveling through the universe for a long time and had encountered many powerful individuals.
And he was certain that in the entire universe, very few people could use magic, and those with stronger magic than him could probably be counted on one hand!
Babidi had used his magic to scan many people before, but those who were far stronger than him hadn't noticed at all.
Magic wasn't something just anyone could practice. To use magic, one first needed to possess magical power, and the vast majority of people were born without any magical power, so they couldn't sense when Babidi scanned them with his magic.
Given his past experiences, Babidi naturally assumed that this time would be no different—the person he was scanning wouldn't be able to sense his magic.
Unfortunately for him, he had hit a brick wall this time.
...
"Huh?"
After storing the Two-Star Super Dragon Ball, Zuke was about to leave the mission world when he suddenly felt a force sweep over his body.
It wasn't "ki," nor was it the "divine power" he had seen from Merus and Whis. It was another force that Zuke was also familiar with.
It was magic!
Zuke was stunned. He hadn't expected to encounter someone using magic to scan his body here.
This feeling was like walking down the street and suddenly having a stranger run up and scrutinize you from head to toe—it was incredibly rude.
Zuke wasn't about to let it slide. He immediately used his "ki" to scan back.
And then he was shocked, because he discovered the person who had scanned him with magic on the planet below.
It was Babidi!
