"If Dragon Balls created in the Dragon Ball world can't interfere with other world's rules... then what about Dragon Balls I created in this world?"
Shin put away the genuine Planet Cyril Dragon Balls, then placed the two counterfeit Dragon Balls he'd "projected" on the ground.
Because he now had knowledge related to creating Dragon Balls in his mind, after bringing the Planet Cyril Dragon Balls to the real world, Shin had already formed this hypothesis.
—Planet Cyril Dragon Balls very likely couldn't be used in the real world.
So before coming here, Shin had already created two new Dragon Balls at home—within the "King's Army" sphere of influence—using "Unlimited Blade Works."
These two counterfeit Dragon Balls completely imitated the Planet Cyril Dragon Balls. Whether in quantity, size, function, or even Shenron's appearance, Shin directly copied everything.
The only two differences were probably that the counterfeit Dragon Balls' creation location was the real world, and their abilities were considerably weaker than the genuine Planet Cyril Dragon Balls.
There was no helping it—after all, Shin was creating fakes through "Projection." For things created this way, completely restoring the original's abilities was quite impossible.
Although in the original work, a certain protagonist once said "there's no rule that fakes must be inferior to the genuine article," that was purely the protagonist talking tough. Just listen and forget it.
So Shin's "Projection" target had always been more powerful Dragon Balls—if one day he could project Super Dragon Balls, even if the effects were weaker than the genuine version, that would still be quite impressive.
"Don't let me down."
Looking at the two counterfeit Dragon Balls on the ground, Shin narrowed his eyes slightly, then recited the Planet Cyril Dragon Ball summoning incantation toward them.
"Takara puto, Tete ron po, Pupiritto paro."
Because Shin had used "Projection" to replicate everything about the Planet Cyril Dragon Balls, naturally the incantation was the same too.
Of course, once Shin got used to "projecting" Dragon Balls later, he should be able to freely modify their appearance, size, Shenron's form, summoning incantation, and so on.
The next moment, accompanying the incantation's conclusion, the two counterfeit Dragon Balls erupted with astonishing light, even brighter than those two genuine Dragon Balls earlier.
Moreover, this light quickly spread into the air, twisting wildly before Shin and Tohru, finally coalescing into a massive dragon with a salamander-like head.
Just from appearance, this counterfeit Shenron summoned by Shin's created Dragon Balls indeed didn't differ much from Planet Cyril's Shenron.
However, if you observed carefully, it was still easy to discover that this counterfeit Shenron's body was a size smaller than Planet Cyril's Shenron.
Planet Cyril's Shenron was already the smallest of all Shenrons appearing in the original work so far, yet now this counterfeit Shenron was even smaller... truly quite shabby.
However, even being smaller than other Shenrons, this counterfeit Shenron was still several stories tall. If Shin summoned it in his home's courtyard, it would still be easily noticed by surrounding people.
"Creator, speak your wish."
Just as Shin was examining the counterfeit Shenron before him, the summoned counterfeit Shenron also spoke to Shin.
"Although my abilities are limited, I will do my best to grant you one wish."
Unlike Planet Cyril's Shenron, the counterfeit Shenron's form of address for Shin was "Creator"—clearly, it knew very well that it was created by Shin.
Although it was a copy-paste of Planet Cyril Dragon Balls, the counterfeit Shenron didn't possess Planet Cyril Shenron's memories. It knew this was its first time being formally used.
But to be honest... opening with "Although my abilities are limited" really lowered its status quite a bit.
After hearing Planet Cyril Shenron's opening statement before, Shin had already felt its "do my best to grant" phrasing gave an impression of not being very capable.
He didn't expect his own created counterfeit Shenron's opening to be even more embarrassing, making Shin want to cover his face.
"Oh wow... so this is what Akawa calls Shenron?"
Tohru also stood to the side, looking at the counterfeit Shenron in the sky, her face showing a trace of surprised expression.
"It looks a bit like Lucoa..."
Shin knew who the Lucoa Tohru mentioned was—a dragon named "Quetzalcoatl" from her original world, a dragon similar to the Feathered Serpent God.
Moreover, Lucoa's strength was the strongest among several dragons in the original work, always caring for Tohru and others like a big sister—just dressed somewhat like a pervert.
Compared to Tohru and other Western dragons, at least Lucoa was an elongated dragon, so it was normal for Tohru to think Shenron's form resembled the Feathered Serpent God.
In fact, if we're being honest, Super Shenron's design would be even closer to the Feathered Serpent God... It felt like many works liked to set the Feathered Serpent God's status quite high.
Shin didn't mind Tohru's impressions. He frowned looking at the counterfeit Shenron floating in the air, pondering what wish to make.
His main purpose was to test whether Dragon Balls could be used in other worlds—the moment the counterfeit Shenron was summoned, his purpose had actually already been achieved.
As for whether to use this counterfeit Shenron to fulfill his wish... It wasn't that he looked down on Shenron, but Planet Cyril Shenron's abilities really weren't very good.
And the counterfeit Shenron's abilities were even worse than Planet Cyril Shenron's. One could imagine it probably wouldn't help improve his strength much.
"Tohru, do you have any wishes? You can try making a wish to this guy."
After thinking for quite a while and feeling this counterfeit Shenron really wasn't very helpful to him, Shin looked toward Tohru and asked her.
Anyway, now that he'd confirmed he could "project" counterfeit Dragon Balls anytime, naturally there was no need to be stingy with this one wishing opportunity.
"Eh? Let me make the wish?"
Tohru hadn't expected Shin would suddenly give her the wishing opportunity and was momentarily stunned.
However, immediately after, Tohru felt delighted—not delighted about being able to fulfill a wish, but because Shin was willing to give her such an important opportunity.
Of course, Shin also saw Tohru's expression and guessed her thoughts.
Actually, Shin wanted to tell her "this isn't an important opportunity," but seeing how happy she looked, Shin didn't burst that bubble.
"Mm... However, that being said, I'm actually quite satisfied now."
Tohru looked at Shenron and pondered—she actually didn't have any particular wish she wanted to fulfill. Being able to stay by Shin's side already made her very satisfied.
If she had to say something, she wanted to wish for "Shin to stop seducing so many girls," but if she made that wish, Shin would definitely get angry.
So after hesitating for a while, Tohru made a very simple wish to Shenron.
