Time passed like a fleeting white horse racing across a crack in the wall.
Before anyone realized it, the due dates had arrived.
On this day, the private hospital at Capsule Corporation was packed to capacity.
Doctors and nurses hurried back and forth, while the hallway outside the delivery rooms was crowded with anxious family and friends.
Krillin stood quietly outside, unable to hide his nervousness.
Beside him, Goku sat with a mountain of snacks, stuffing his face without pause.
Vegeta lounged in a corner with an expression of complete boredom.
Ever since achieving Super Saiyan himself, he had become obsessed with sparring against Goku.
As a result, wherever Goku went, Vegeta inevitably followed.
The sight was both ridiculous and strangely amusing.
"Waaaaah!"
A loud, piercing cry suddenly echoed through the hallway.
Several nearby windows shattered instantly.
"The baby's here! The baby's here!"
A nurse rushed out in a panic, cradling a swaddled infant.
Her face was pale.
"M-Mr. Krillin! It's a boy! But... but his eyes..."
Krillin vanished in a flash and appeared before her.
Taking the child gently into his arms, he immediately recognized him as Launch's son.
The baby had fair skin.
Unlike his father, he had inherited a thin head of blue hair.
But the truly astonishing part came when he opened his eyes.
His left eye shone like molten gold.
Deep within the amber iris burned a fierce, untamed flame carrying an instinctive aura of aggression.
His right eye was a deep ocean blue.
Calm.
Gentle.
Quiet as an ancient frozen sea.
Heterochromia.
[Ding! Direct descendant detected.]
[Name: Ransa]
[Race: Human (Genetic Variant)]
[Power Level: 5,000]
[Innate Talent: Dual-Personality Energy Core. The greater the emotional instability, the stronger the combat power.]
[Evaluation: This kid is practically destined for an internal argument every time he fights. Psychological counseling is strongly recommended.]
"Ransa..."
Krillin smiled warmly.
It was a name he had chosen long ago.
He gently poked the baby's cheek.
"Those eyes are the perfect reflection of Launch's two personalities."
"Great name. Great talent."
"Hmph. Only five thousand?"
Vegeta walked over and glanced at the child.
His voice was dismissive, but the surprise in his eyes was impossible to hide.
A human infant born with a power level of five thousand?
Kakarot had been born with a power level of only two.
Before anyone could fully celebrate Ransa's birth, however...
Rumble!
A tremendous surge of energy erupted from the neighboring delivery room.
This wasn't destructive ki.
It was something entirely different.
Holy.
Sacred.
Majestic.
The pressure was so profound that it made people instinctively want to bow in reverence.
The sky above West City instantly turned a brilliant shade of violet.
Clouds gathered on their own, forming the shapes of blooming flowers.
"What is that?!"
The snacks fell from Goku's hands.
"This energy is weird!"
"It feels like the energy from the Lookout... but also completely different!"
"King Kai! King Kai is contacting me!"
Goku suddenly grabbed his head.
Inside his mind, King Kai's frantic voice rang out.
"Goku! Krillin! What in the universe are you doing?!"
"That surge just shook the laws of the entire North Galaxy!"
"That aura... that's higher-dimensional divine energy!"
"Go see what kind of monster was just born!"
Krillin's expression changed immediately.
He handed Ransa to Bulma and instantly teleported to the neighboring delivery room.
Aki's delivery required no doctors.
Inside the room, every medical instrument had stopped functioning.
Streams of emerald life energy flowed through the air like liquid light.
Aki floated gently above the ground.
Despite having just given birth, she looked healthier than ever.
Her long violet hair drifted without wind.
In her arms rested a baby girl.
She wasn't crying.
She wasn't fussing.
She simply stared at the world with quiet curiosity.
She was beautiful.
Even as a newborn, her features were flawless, like a porcelain doll crafted by divine hands.
Soft lavender hair framed her tiny face.
Her skin seemed almost luminous.
As though it had been carved from sacred jade.
Slowly, she opened her eyes.
Large emerald-green eyes gazed outward.
There was no confusion in them.
No infant innocence.
Only a serenity and dignity that made even seasoned warriors tremble.
She looked directly at Krillin.
Then she smiled.
A sweet, gentle smile.
Hummmm.
At that exact moment, the Martial God Core inside Krillin began operating on its own.
A joyful resonance echoed through his body.
It was as though it had found a kindred existence.
[Ding! Extraordinary life-form detected!]
[Name: Bura]
[Race: Demigod (Martial True God / Sacred World Tree Hybrid)]
[Power Level: ??? (Divinity Sealed)]
[Innate Talent: Innate Divine Core.]
[Special Status: Child Favored by the Gods. Born with the ability to naturally manipulate spiritual energy. Possesses a seed comparable to the host's Martial God Core.]
[Evaluation: Host... your daughter is extraordinary. She is a born deity with limitless future potential.]
Krillin's hands trembled slightly as he accepted Bura from Aki.
The tiny girl reached out her chubby hand and grabbed one of his fingers.
Instantly, golden and emerald light intertwined around father and daughter.
The sight was sacred.
Beautiful.
Almost unreal.
"A Divine Core..."
Shock waves crashed through Krillin's heart.
He had spent countless years, relied on the system, and survived unimaginable adventures to forge his Martial God Core.
Yet this child...
She had been born with one.
Was this truly the power of a second-generation god?
"Bura..."
Krillin whispered softly.
To him, she wasn't merely his daughter.
She was a miracle.
"My little goddess."
Nearby, Vegeta stared at the baby.
He could clearly feel the faint pressure radiating from her tiny body.
His teeth clenched audibly.
His pride had suffered yet another devastating blow.
"Damn it..."
"Kakarot being stronger than me is bad enough."
"Now even Krillin's daughter is a freak of nature?!"
"That baby..."
"The way she's looking at us..."
Vegeta's eye twitched.
"It feels like she's the one judging us."
