Chapter 816: Chapter 816 Sometimes Being Too Famous Isn't a Good Thing
As time passed, Asahi continued to observe the changes in this world, curious about whether the inertia of the original plot would reappear. He wasn't disappointed by the results, as Baby had indeed begun to show up.
In the original work, Goku and the others had proactively provoked Baby because of the Dragon Balls, which led Baby to Earth. This time, however, Baby was more direct, seizing an opportunity to break free from the control of the scientist who created him.
Baby began parasitizing various life forms, gradually growing stronger. Was Baby strong? Not really, he could even be considered weak. But his greatest asset was his parasitic ability.
Once he parasitized someone, he would take over their body, and the original host would be directly controlled. The host's strength would then belong to Baby, who would use it to fight stronger beings and gradually take over their bodies.
This ability was far superior to that of Captain Ginyu, whose body-swapping ability couldn't capture beings with combat power much higher than his own. Otherwise, Ginyu would have taken Frieza's body long ago and wouldn't have remained his subordinate.
Baby continuously used his parasitic ability to take over stronger bodies. Once, he took over a strong body, he learned about Frost Demon Family.
Although Goku and the others didn't wander the universe aimlessly, news of the Saiyans had spread throughout the cosmos. Baby began parasitizing individuals to gather the information he needed, eventually taking over a member of Frost Demon Family's remnants and discovering the location where Frieza and his family had perished.
With this information, Baby set off for Earth, spending several months to reach it. Observing these developments, Asahi couldn't help but shake his head.
The inertia of the plot indeed existed and was reasonable. To become stronger, Baby had to come to Earth to trouble the Saiyans. The Saiyans, unaware of this, would be in danger once Baby parasitized any one of them, revealing the Dragon Ball problem. Although the evil Dragon Balls were gone, the ordinary Dragon Balls remained.
If this were true, Asahi was curious if the Shadow Dragons would be born because of Baby?
Baby was an ambitious individual with a strong drive, so after arriving on Earth, he began searching for the Saiyans. While ordinary people on Earth were unaware of the Saiyans, one person knew a lot and was very famous, which is Mr. Satan.
Baby directly parasitized Mr. Satan, then learned that his son-in-law, Gohan, was a Saiyan. However, with his current power, directly parasitizing a powerful Saiyan like Gohan was impractical, as he didn't want to die.
Instead, Baby targeted Goten, Pan, and Bulla. From his perspective, the two were female and Goten had weaker potential, making them easier targets. He first aimed for Goten.
Though Goten had been simple-minded as a child and bore a resemblance to Goku, he had become quite a playboy as he grew up, frequently encountering foolish girls.
In terms of maturity, he couldn't compare to Trunks, who understood responsibility and discipline. Goten, on the other hand, seemed like a good-natured second-generation rich kid who didn't measure up to the first generation.
The offspring of Earthlings and Saiyans weren't inherently weak; Gohan was a prime example. If not for his dream to become a scholar, Gohan's combat power could have surpassed both Vegeta and Goku.
Even in the later stages of the story, Trunks, in the future of the Super Universe, had just broken through to become a Super Saiyan 2, with combat power comparable to Super Saiyan Blue. This demonstrated the terrifying changes that occurred when Saiyans and Earthlings combined.
Their potential became extraordinarily high, coupled with a unique burst ability. However, each successive generation seemed weaker, with Goku and others often resolving crises.
The later generations didn't perceive any real threats. While Vegeta trained Trunks diligently, Goku didn't prioritize training as much, nor did he understand how to earn money to improve their lives. Chi-Chi, not wanting Gohan to end up the same way, insisted he continue his education.
Though Chi-Chi's actions might seem problematic, they were simply a normal mother's response. With Goku being unreliable as a father, Chi-Chi could only rely on her son. She knew she was still able to help now, but what about in the future?
Chi-Chi, being an Earthling, couldn't maintain peak condition until death like Saiyans. So she needed someone to take care of her.
While she could share the burden now, she wouldn't be able to in the future. Goku was unreliable, so her only hope was her son. And what if Goku turned into a completely irresponsible version of himself in the future? How would life be managed then?
Is life the same as Monkey King? Qiqi doesn't think Sun Wufan can find someone like herself.
Chi-Chi doubted Gohan could find someone like her. While Videl was indeed excellent, and Mr. Satan was wealthy, Chi-Chi didn't want her son to rely on others. Hence, Gohan had to study.
However, they had all taken the wrong path. How could someone as strong as they be troubled by money, especially when they were cosmic-level warriors?
After focusing on Goten, Baby went directly to trouble him. Goten, naturally, fought back without hesitation. However, it turned out that Goten's combat power was too weak. Despite appearing strong, he was actually the worst among the Saiyan fighters.
It seems very powerful, but in comparison, he is the best one among this group of fighting Saiyans.
After a fierce battle, Goten was eventually parasitized. Once Baby took over Goten's body, he accessed a vast amount of incredible memories, not only about the current state of the Saiyans, but also information about the Dragon Balls.
Of course, what shocked Baby the most wasn't these fragments of information but the crucial details about Asahi. In his view, Asahi was the truly terrifying existence. If possible, he even wanted to parasitize Asahi.
