The two children's life signs had finally stabilized.
They were no longer as fragile as newborns.
Krillin decided it was time to take them to New Namek and have Grand Elder Guru unlock their potential.
Ransa and Bura were still far too young.
Krillin worried that Instant Transmission's spatial distortion might be too much for their developing bodies.
So, for once, he chose the safer option.
A Capsule Corporation spacecraft traveled through the stars toward New Namek.
Soon, the vessel bearing the Capsule Corporation logo slowly descended onto the familiar green plains of the restored planet.
The hatch opened.
Krillin stepped out with his entire family.
"So this is the rebuilt Namek?"
Bulma held Ransa in her arms and took a deep breath.
"The air is amazing!"
Grand Elder Guru was already waiting.
Standing beside him were Moori and several Namekian elders.
The moment Aki appeared, Guru struggled to his feet despite his age and attempted to bow respectfully.
"Holy Maiden... you have finally returned with the bloodline of the Sacred Tree."
Aki quickly stepped forward and supported him.
A gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Grand Elder, I'm simply Krillin's wife now."
"And Bura's mother."
After exchanging greetings, they moved to the main purpose of their visit.
"I'll unlock Ransa's potential first."
Guru raised his enormous hand and placed it on the infant's head.
Boom!
Several seconds passed in silence.
Then a brilliant aura erupted from Ransa's tiny body.
Gold and blue energy intertwined.
The golden aura on the left side burned like raging fire.
The blue aura on the right flowed like tranquil water.
The two completely opposite powers clashed violently within him.
Yet under the guidance of an unseen force, they eventually reached perfect balance.
"What an extraordinary child."
Guru withdrew his hand and nodded in admiration.
"His spiritual power is exceptionally strong."
"With proper guidance, those heterochromatic eyes will become his greatest weapon."
Nearby, Launch held her son proudly.
Suddenly, her nose twitched.
"Ah... choo!"
Everyone immediately jumped backward.
Years of experience had taught them caution.
No one wanted Blonde Launch suddenly pulling out a machine gun.
Yet after sneezing, nothing happened.
Her hair remained blue.
"Huh?"
Launch blinked in confusion.
"I... didn't transform?"
She closed her eyes.
Concentrating, she silently willed herself to change.
Flash!
Her hair instantly turned golden.
Her expression sharpened.
A submachine gun appeared in her hands.
"What are you all staring at?!"
"Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman transform before?!"
Then she relaxed.
Her hair returned to blue.
"S-Sorry everyone."
"I didn't scare you, did I?"
The crowd stared in disbelief.
At that moment, Guru explained.
"While I was unlocking Ransa's potential, Launch remained in direct contact with him."
"As a result, some of the potential release affected her as well."
"She can now freely control the transition between her two personalities."
Krillin: ...
He smacked his lips thoughtfully.
A hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
"Tsk."
"It's definitely more convenient."
"But now the mystery loot-box excitement is gone."
Still, he nodded.
"On the bright side, it probably stabilizes Ransa's genetic inheritance too."
"Next..."
Krillin stepped forward carrying Bura.
Guru's expression immediately changed.
For the first time, fear and reverence appeared in his aged eyes.
Instead of reaching out, he lowered his head respectfully.
"Lord Krillin."
"Holy Maiden."
"I cannot unlock this child's potential."
Krillin frowned.
"Why not?"
Guru's voice trembled slightly.
"Because her existence stands above my level."
"She is favored by the Sacred Tree."
"The source of her power comes from this planet itself."
"Perhaps even from dimensions beyond."
"If I force the process..."
"The divine power would likely destroy me."
Aki nodded calmly.
As if she had expected this answer all along.
"It seems there's only one place left."
...
On the far side of Namek.
The Hidden Sanctuary.
The enormous Hydrangea Sacred Tree still towered over the world.
Its endless branches stretched across the sky, radiating eternal violet light.
This was Aki's homeland.
The most mysterious forbidden land on Namek.
Even Frieza had never discovered it.
Krillin, Bulma, Launch, and the others remained outside the sacred boundary.
Only Aki proceeded forward.
Barefoot.
Carrying Bura in her arms.
Step by step, she approached the colossal tree.
"Ancient covenant."
"Source of all life."
"By the blood of the Holy Maiden..."
"I awaken the sleeping divinity."
Her voice echoed through the silent sanctuary.
Ancient words filled the air.
Words so old that none present could understand them.
Carefully, she placed Bura upon the vast roots of the Sacred Tree.
The roots resembled a massive natural altar.
Suddenly, the Hydrangea Sacred Tree came alive.
Countless glowing violet vines descended gently.
They caressed Bura's cheeks affectionately.
Millions of petals filled the sky.
They merged into a river of purple light that spiraled around the little girl.
Then everything changed.
ROOOOAR!
A majestic dragon's cry thundered across the heavens.
No Dragon Balls had been gathered.
No summoning words had been spoken.
Yet space itself suddenly split apart.
The sleeping dragon, Porunga, appeared on his own.
His massive emerald body stretched across the sky.
Divine majesty radiated from every scale.
But unlike before, Porunga's expression wasn't fierce.
Instead, he lowered his proud head.
His gaze softened as he looked toward the child beneath the Sacred Tree.
"W-What is happening?!"
Bulma covered her mouth in shock.
"The Eternal Dragon came out by himself?!"
"Not just the dragon."
Krillin activated his Martial True God Form.
Golden pupils narrowed as system data flooded his vision.
"The planet itself is responding."
Boom!
A pillar of violet light erupted from the Sacred Tree.
Pure life essence surged skyward.
Porunga opened his mouth.
A dazzling sphere of dragon essence emerged.
It transformed into a green miracle-light.
Deep beneath the planet's surface, a third force awakened.
Pure white energy.
The will of Namek itself.
Purple.
Green.
White.
Three immense powers capable of shaking entire star systems intertwined in the sky.
They merged into a gigantic tri-colored cocoon.
Then wrapped themselves around tiny Bura.
At that instant, the Hidden Sanctuary's concealment barrier completely collapsed.
An overwhelming pressure swept across all of Namek.
Every Namekian on the planet froze.
No matter what they had been doing, they instinctively dropped to their knees facing the sanctuary.
It was submission.
A primal response to a higher life-form.
Inside the cocoon, Bura's Divine Core began spinning at incredible speed.
She felt no pain.
Instead, she appeared more comfortable than ever.
Like a child resting safely within her mother's womb.
Greedily, she absorbed the three energies.
Her tiny body began undergoing a miraculous transformation.
Meanwhile, Krillin's system panel exploded with notifications.
[Warning! Ultra-high energy reaction detected!]
[Target: Bura]
[Integrating:]
[Sacred Tree Origin (MAX Life Force)]
[Dragon Blessing (Power of Miracles)]
[Planetary Will (Supreme Natural Affinity)]
[Divine Core Awakening: 1%... 20%... 50%... 99%!]
[Power Level: Unmeasurable]
[Divinity fully manifested. Rule-level life-form currently being created.]
Nobody knew how much time passed.
Eventually, the light vanished.
Every trace of energy had been absorbed.
Bura floated quietly in midair.
But she was no longer the same.
She had grown.
Gone was the swaddled infant.
In her place floated a little girl who looked three or four years old.
Her hair had become translucent lavender.
Tiny starlike lights shimmered at the tips.
Within her emerald eyes seemed to rest the mysteries of the entire universe.
Ancient.
Calm.
Boundless.
At the center of her forehead appeared a golden divine sigil.
The mark of a fully awakened Divine Core.
A white robe woven from pure energy draped around her body.
Her bare feet stepped upon empty space.
Each step created a blooming violet lotus beneath her.
Holy.
Even more sacred than Aki herself.
A hundred times more.
"Daddy."
Bura spoke.
Her voice was sweet and clear.
Yet it carried a resonance that seemed to reach directly into the soul.
She floated toward Krillin and smiled brightly.
At that moment, Krillin felt his own Martial God Core tremble.
It was joy.
The joy of encountering another being like itself.
Yet beneath that joy lurked something else.
A primal instinct acknowledging a superior existence.
"This child..."
Krillin swallowed hard.
"She's not just a goddess."
"She's a true goddess."
At the same time.
Far away.
In the Sacred World of the Kais.
Shin, the Supreme Kai of the East, was quietly drinking tea.
Suddenly, his hand shook.
Crash!
The delicate teacup fell and shattered on the floor.
Kibito jumped in alarm.
"Supreme Kai!"
"What happened?!"
Shin shot to his feet.
His gaze pierced countless light-years.
Locking onto Namek.
Shock.
Confusion.
And deep fear filled his eyes.
"Something extraordinary has been born."
"That aura..."
"It is even purer than Lord Grand Supreme Kai's."
His voice grew solemn.
"Who could it be?"
"Has the balance of the universe..."
"...changed once again?"
