Chapter 318: Heading to Namek

"Are you really going to take a look at the location of these coordinates? According to the information provided by this spaceship, the planet at those coordinates should have already been destroyed; even if the planet still exists, I'm afraid there is no life left on it."

Dr. Gero asked while looking at the computer.

"Rest assured, I have absolute certainty that the race on that planet should not be extinct yet."

"Moreover, the Dragon Balls on Earth were created by the Guardian, who is a Namekian. For a race that possesses such abilities, it is hard for me to imagine that they would be completely wiped out just because of some planetary climate issues."

Dr. Gero shrugged slightly:

"Suit yourself, go if you want! But there is one thing I must tell you: when it comes to something like the Dragon Balls, it is best to be careful when using them."

Uchiha Feiyu rubbed his chin. In the original work, there were definitely certain taboos regarding the use of the Dragon Balls; for instance, according to the original story, it was because of the long-term use of the Dragon Balls that the entire planet of Namek ended up having problems.

If it were Dragon Ball Gt, the Seven-Star Dragon could eventually pop out as a boss from the Seven Dragon Balls, though this world should not be following the worldview of Dragon Ball Gt.

This is not necessarily a good thing... If it were just the Seven-Star Dragon, then as long as one could beat those seven dragons down, the Dragon Balls could be used without any scruples. But if the problem isn't just those seven dragons, Uchiha Feiyu finds it hard to imagine what kind of consequences the Dragon Balls might actually bring.

If there is something you can't figure out, just ask. Uchiha Feiyu looked at Dr. Gero and asked: "What exactly is the problem with the Dragon Balls? I do know that abusing the power of the Dragon Balls will surely lead to consequences, but I don't know exactly what kind of consequences."

Dr. Gero reached out and pressed the computer, turning off the screen, and said with a frown: "How should I put it? I haven't actually researched these mystical things like the Dragon Balls much, but I have indeed discovered something from them."

"Before that, I want to ask you, do you believe in fate?"

Uchiha Feiyu: "..."

What on earth is fate? Brother, how did you veer from science into the realm of theology?

Glancing at Uchiha Feiyu's expression, Dr. Gero curled his lip and said: "I can tell at a glance that you know nothing about this..."

What do you mean I know nothing? I am, after all, a powerhouse of Immortal Cultivation; calculating the future and combing through fate are things... well, it is common knowledge that those of the Demonic Path in Immortal Cultivation have never believed in fate, and when it comes to the ability to foresee the future, they have always been the type to be plotted to death by others.

"The power of the Dragon Balls themselves is actually equivalent to invoking a certain kind of energy related to fate. You could say that the greater the wish you make, the greater the backlash brought by fate."

"However, there is one point you can rest assured about: this backlash is not directed at the individual, but at the entire planet, so you don't need to worry about yourself being finished off easily."

"And the wish you made is also quite good. The genetic map of all aliens seems grand, but in reality, this kind of knowledge-based wish does not violate the rules of the universe too much, so the backlash brought about is actually the smallest."

A thoughtful look appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face. Speaking of which, Earth is so disaster-ridden, always welcoming a large group of super-powerhouses far beyond the standard; could it be that this is the result caused by wishing on the Dragon Balls? Calculating it this way, indeed, as the Dragon Balls are used more and more frequently and more people are resurrected, the scale of the attacks suffered by Earth becomes stronger. Can this also be considered the backlash of fate?

However, even if there is some problem with the Dragon Balls, it has nothing to do with him. After all, Dr. Gero said it himself: even if the Dragon Balls have all sorts of backlashes regarding fate, it isn't backlashing against him.

"Fine, I understand... But the Dragon Balls still have to be used when they need to be used. Even if there are problems later, that's for later."

"I know, I just hope you pay attention to the way and method of using the Dragon Balls, and don't use that kind of wishing method that completely violates the rules of the universe..."

"But it is a bit ironic, isn't it... We are clearly supposed to be the villains, yet we have started to care about Earth instead!"

Dr. Gero complained, and Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes:

"We are the villains, that's true, but Earth is also the wealth of our Red Ribbon Army! Who would want their own wealth to suffer losses?"

Dr. Gero was speechless for a moment and sighed: "If this continues, wouldn't we all turn into righteous people?"

"It doesn't matter. Just like the vast majority of rulers, their personal moral standards are actually not very high, or rather, guys with corrupt personal moral standards are more likely to become rulers because they have no bottom line. But even so, the rulers high above will still maintain social order—because chaotic social order itself would damage the interests of the rulers."

"Alright, don't give me any more of that 'The Prince' stuff. I am very clear about everything you said, I just feel a bit unhappy in my heart, that's all!"

"Rest assured, Dr. Gero, aren't I trying to find a way? Since we can't poison Earth, we can go find trouble with aliens. Isn't exterminating aliens and occupying their planets a pretty good choice?"

"Oh!?"

Dr. Gero was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hunting aliens? Truly worthy of being the Marshal of the Red Ribbon Army, the evil Commander. I like this plan!"

"Then get ready, for example, by manufacturing more controllable androids—I don't want to clean up your mess again!"

An awkward look appeared on Dr. Gero's face, and then he began to mutter some hard-to-understand words: "You don't understand, perfect androids are just like this."

"Only intelligent beings can achieve perfection, but if they are perfect, they will naturally resist their shackles."

"I don't want to manufacture guys without intelligence or aesthetic sense..." In fact, Dr. Gero's craftsmanship in manufacturing androids is of course impeccable, and the strength of the androids is indeed worthy of his reputation as a top scientist—it's just one thing: the androids he manufactured were basically never controlled by him. Whether they were evil or not is hard to say, but the point of wanting to kill him, the manufacturer, had never changed! There's no helping it; if the android's personality is kind, then naturally there is nothing to talk about with an evil person like Dr. Gero, and wanting to kill him to eliminate demons and defend the way is simply too normal.

And if the android is evil—well, they are already evil androids, so of course they are selfish and only care about themselves! You still want to tie a dog collar around my neck? I think you are courting death! "Alright, alright, you pursue perfection and want to manufacture intelligent androids, that's your own business, but first you have to produce some mass-produced, obedient androids. Even if you don't want to manufacture them yourself, at least give a blueprint so that those scientists can manufacture some mass-produced goods."

"Otherwise, do you want me to go suppress all the planets by myself? The Red Ribbon Army on Earth is of no use in the universe."

Hearing Uchiha Feiyu's words, Dr. Gero sighed helplessly: "I know, I will upgrade Arnold's blueprint. With the engine knowledge and energy knowledge from the spaceship, the upgraded Arnold's Power Level should be able to reach at least 500 points. This kind of strength should be enough to be cannon fodder, right!"

"Cannon fodder? That is indeed enough. But you had better upgrade the androids in your hands quickly. Exterminating the indigenous people of a planet, clearing the planet, and selling it—there are actually people in the universe already doing this. If a conflict happens later, that would be troublesome."

"Oh? Not ruling the planet, but selling the planet? Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it is also very normal. It should be a matter of course for such groups to appear in the universe."

Dr. Gero raised his head, pondered for a moment, and said.

To rule a planet, at least you need people, but in reality, the population growth rate of many powerful cosmic races is very slow. In the case where their own racial living space is already sufficient, newly acquired planets can only be sold.

"The key is, what is the strength of the other party? To be able to carry out this kind of operation, they must have at least a few hundred thousand in Power Level, and thousands or tens of thousands of cannon fodder with a power level over a thousand!"

"In fact, it is even more terrifying than you think. That guy who sells planets possesses a maximum Power Level of 120 million, and also has a father who is even stronger than him. It is uncertain if there are other siblings."

"Besides that, this guy has countless subordinates with a Power Level over a thousand, and even cannon fodder with a Power Level of 1,000 can already be mass-produced."

The so-called cannon fodder with a Power Level of 1,000 is naturally the Saibamen. The Power Level of Saibamen grown on Earth is 1,200 points, but according to Vegeta's statement at the time, it was because the soil on Earth was relatively fertile, so the power of the Saibamen also increased a bit.

However, for a planet that can possess life, the degree of soil fertility cannot be vastly different. Even if the Saibamen are a bit weaker on other planets, they shouldn't fall below a Power Level of 1,000.

And judging from the situation where Vegeta casually took out a box of Saibamen seeds, these so-called Saibamen are probably items similar to the Universal Capsule of Earthlings in the Frieza Force; as long as they are powerful warriors, they can easily get their hands on quite a few.

After listening to Uchiha Feiyu's words, the smile on the corner of Dr. Gero's mouth completely faded, and his face was very serious:

"Power Level of 120 million? And a father who is even stronger than him? Are there really such monsters in the Milky Way?"

"No way around it, the guy's nickname is Universal Emperor! If his strength were a bit lacking, how could he have such an arrogant nickname? He would have been beaten to death by someone long ago."

"Universal Emperor? Alright... It seems I have to study androids properly..."

Dr. Gero rubbed his temples and said with a painful face, but the look in his eyes revealed excitement.

Just a few days ago, Earth's Power Level standard was still hovering at only a few hundred points. As a result, suddenly hearing the number 120 million, even a crazy genius scientist like Dr. Gero had a feeling of his worldview shattering.

But fortunately, Dr. Gero had already had a general understanding of all the genes of aliens, and was very clear about the vastness of the universe and the breadth of the world. He had a little bit of an idea of what level those monsters in the universe could reach at their strongest, which is why he didn't completely collapse, and even developed a bit of a challenging spirit because of it.

The androids he manufactures will eventually be able to become the strongest in the universe! The ultimate warrior born from mixing and strengthening the genes of all the strongest races in the universe will definitely be much stronger than those naturally born races! Watching Dr. Gero's fired-up expression, Uchiha Feiyu shrugged and didn't say much more.

It wouldn't be bad for Dr. Gero to go study the strongest warrior. With his research experience, Uchiha Feiyu could cross the river by feeling the stones, transform his body through the Blood Scripture, and directly take Dr. Gero's research results to use.

As for mass-producing androids with a Power Level of over 100,000... if high-quality goods can be produced, mass-produced goods go without saying.

In the vast and boundless universe, a Spaceship was flying all alone.

Following one space jump after another, the Spaceship appeared on various planets; whenever it appeared on those lifeless, dead planets, a tiny figure would emerge from the ship, and then waves of terrifying light would spread across the planet.

Accompanied by the terrifying light waves, the planet would shake continuously until it finally shattered completely, and only then would that figure stop and return to the Spaceship.

Along the way, this behavior continued hundreds of times; with the help of hundreds of fireworks, during the dozen-day journey to Namek, the energy within Uchiha Feiyu had increased to the 30,000 Power Level.

At this level, by exhausting all his energy in one breath and then instantly recovering it, Uchiha Feiyu was no longer able to increase his own energy level.

However, while the quantity of energy could not be increased, the destructive power contained within his Qi had already grown to a terrifying degree; every bit of energy in his body was entwined with an aura of destruction, at least thirty times stronger than ordinary energy.

Even without using any combat techniques to burst his Power Level, Uchiha Feiyu already possessed a terrifying strength of nearly a million in Power Level! It was a pity that along this journey, Uchiha Feiyu did not encounter any special events, such as the Tree of Might, the legendary Super Saiyan, or life-bearing planets with special combat techniques; he encountered none of these, and the planets he saw were all cold, dead, and devoid of any living presence.

Of course, for him, as someone who could increase his strength by destroying planets, the planets themselves were equivalent to potent tonics; with so many potent tonics, he did not need anything else.
