Chapter 171: Six-Star Dragon's Demise
"Mm!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing these words, alarm bells rang loudly in Turles's heart. He hadn't forgotten—just moments ago, even Six-Star Dragon's fragment consciousness had tried scheming against him.
If the fragment consciousness was like this, the main body naturally needed no further mention.
However, Turles wanted to hear exactly what Six-Star Dragon was plotting. Whether to agree remained his decision anyway.
Most critically—when eliminating Six-Star Dragon's fragment consciousness earlier, Turles had accidentally consumed most of his mental power. Even now, he felt somewhat weak.
However, this wasn't something Six-Star Dragon could know. So while secretly accelerating his body's recovery, Turles spoke casually: "What deal? Might as well speak it."
Six-Star Dragon naturally didn't know current Turles could be described as outwardly strong but inwardly weak—fundamentally unable to battle it. So after hesitating, it finally spoke: "Naturally Cabba and Carrit..."
Speaking of this, Six-Star Dragon stopped, leaving a blank space.
Six-Star Dragon wasn't foolish. Though it didn't know how Turles had removed Caulifla's mental control, at minimum, Turles possessed methods to counter it.
Moreover, it couldn't actively mention wanting to flee—otherwise, it might bungle things cleverly, losing more than gaining.
But thinking of Turles's methods plus the faint pain emanating from its head, Six-Star Dragon's killing intent toward Turles intensified several degrees.
Though Six-Star Dragon's words weren't finished, Turles understood its meaning. Precisely because of this, Turles felt somewhat surprised.
So after hearing Six-Star Dragon's deal, Turles remained silent for a time. Instead, he rubbed his chin, seemingly somewhat moved.
Seeing this, Six-Star Dragon's heart grew tremendously tense.
Not that Six-Star Dragon wanted this. If possible, how could it let Turles go? Only reality truly didn't allow it.
But Six-Star Dragon didn't know—its current situation had already been partially guessed by Turles.
Because even with eyes closed, unable to see Six-Star Dragon's expression, Turles keenly sensed Six-Star Dragon's emotional tension. This couldn't help making him contemplate.
Soon, an answer appeared in Turles's mind.
That was—the fragment consciousness's elimination had caused Six-Star Dragon mental damage more severe than he'd imagined. Already severe enough that Six-Star Dragon had no choice but this.
If it were other Evil Dragons, they might not do this. But Six-Star Dragon—its personality was abnormally cautious, moreover capable of bending and yielding.
Understanding these things, Turles knew what to do.
Naturally, strike while it's down—surely not wait until Six-Star Dragon recovered before attacking?
Of course, current Turles's situation matched Six-Star Dragon's—half a catty to eight ounces. Wanting to completely eliminate Six-Star Dragon required waiting until he recovered. This needed some time.
"What do you want?"
To stall for time, Turles had no choice but to play dumb.
"Eh?"
Turles's words left Six-Star Dragon somewhat confused. It didn't believe Turles wouldn't understand its meaning. Yet Turles still asked this—directly catching it off-guard.
However, Six-Star Dragon currently couldn't consider what Turles wanted to do. Because it must accelerate repairing mental injuries—otherwise, it couldn't suppress the other Dragon Balls' consciousnesses.
So Six-Star Dragon directly spoke: "I withdraw mental control over Cabba and Carrit. Let me leave Supreme Kai Realm—and don't seek me for one month!"
At these words, Turles's heart grew even more certain of his guess. His face immediately showed a trace of smile.
Watching Turles's mouth curve, its heart sank with a thud. It immediately realized it had made a grave error.
'Not good!'
This thought had just surfaced in Six-Star Dragon's mind when a fist continuously enlarged before its eyes.
BANG!
Before Six-Star Dragon could react, Turles's fist had already landed on its body. Completely unprepared, it was directly knocked backward by Turles's strike.
Turles pressed his advantage relentlessly. Forcibly enduring mental weakness, he forcibly squeezed barely recovered aura, sticking close to Six-Star Dragon's retreating form.
"TUR-LES!"
Turles's strike made Six-Star Dragon completely lose composure.
Enraged, no longer caring about internal turmoil, after steadying its form, Six-Star Dragon also charged toward Turles.
Both's battle resumed!
After releasing suppression on other Dragon Balls, Six-Star Dragon's aura intensity surged dramatically. In battle with Turles, it gradually gained advantage.
However, only Hit—watching from the sidelines the entire time—could see that trace of smile on Turles's face. That was a smile of successful scheming.
"Interesting!"
Having watched the show so long, Hit had roughly guessed how Turles would resolve Six-Star Dragon. Thinking his long-held obsession would soon be resolved—even with his current mentality—he couldn't help feeling somewhat stirred.
Results matched Hit's expectations. Turles used base battle power to maneuver with Six-Star Dragon—not seeking victory, only self-preservation—while secretly continuously recovering mentally.
Compared to Six-Star Dragon's mental trauma, obviously Turles's mental consumption didn't count as any major problem.
After just a while, Turles's mind recovered considerably. As his consciousness recovered, battle rhythm once again fell into Turles's hands.
BANG!
Seizing an opening, Turles's attack viciously landed on Six-Star Dragon's body.
Unlike before, this attack seemed to break some balance within Six-Star Dragon. Six-Star Dragon suddenly released a miserable scream. Then its body began changing.
Six-Star Dragon's body continuously began twisting. Its face also continuously changed.
Turles was startled by Six-Star Dragon's scream. His form flashed several times, pulling distance from Six-Star Dragon.
Carefully opening a slit, Turles wanted to see what exactly had happened to Six-Star Dragon.
But the moment his gaze fell on Six-Star Dragon, Turles's eyes widened.
Turned out—the instant Turles opened his eyes, he happened to see One-Star Dragon's face flash across Six-Star Dragon's visage.
"This is—?"
Just as Turles felt somewhat shocked, Hit's voice rang beside him.
"Probably backlash?"
Though speculation, from Hit's mouth, Turles heard definite meaning.
At this moment, Turles noticed the seven Dragon Balls on Six-Star Dragon's chest continuously emitting strange radiance—moreover continuously darting about, seemingly wanting to struggle free.
Seeing this, Turles immediately thought of something, speaking with realization: "It really is like this!"
Since that was the case, Turles wasn't anxious anymore. He simply stood in midair with Hit, watching Six-Star Dragon's body collapse.
"No! No! No!"
"I'm the boss—you must obey me!"
"You can't do this—only I can become the true dragon god!"
"No!"
Currently, Six-Star Dragon had already fallen into crisis. Each face change made it frantically shout. Its body also correspondingly collapsed one portion.
Soon, under Turles and Hit's observation, Six-Star Dragon only managed one unwilling miserable scream before its entire body completely collapsed.
With Six-Star Dragon's body collapsing, seven Dragon Balls appeared again in midair, arranging in a circle, slowly rotating.
Seeing this, Turles and Hit exchanged glances, then slowly flew toward the Dragon Balls.
Arriving before the Dragon Balls, only then did both discover—though Six-Star Dragon had collapsed, its corruption of the Dragon Balls still existed. The black five-pointed stars inside the seven Dragon Balls were proof.
Given Six-Star Dragon's precedent, Turles didn't extend his hand to receive the seven Dragon Balls. He just let them ultimately crash to the ground.
Though Hit didn't know Black Star Dragon Balls' strangeness, as a thousand-year assassin, what he least lacked was caution. So he wasn't anxious either—just stared at the ground's seven Dragon Balls with Turles.
For a time, things quieted down.
However, the Dragon Ball problem still needed resolving. So after long silence, Turles finally extended his hand, picking up one Dragon Ball.
Naturally, because Turles also didn't know if current Six-Star Dragon had truly been eliminated, he didn't choose the Six-Star Dragon Ball—instead picking up the One-Star Dragon Ball.
Examining the Dragon Ball in hand, Turles could sense evil energy on the Dragon Ball. But compared to before, it had weakened considerably.
"Seems previous purification wasn't completely without effect—or perhaps Six-Star Dragon's corruption wasn't enough?"
Turles mentally guessed these possibilities. His heart relaxed considerably.
"Turles!"
At this time, Carrit's voice transmitted over, pulling Turles's attention back.
Following the sound, Carrit had already completely recovered consciousness. He and Beris—one supporting Caulifla, one supporting Cabba—were rushing over.
Arriving before Turles, Caulifla and Cabba had already awakened. However, one had considerable mental power extracted. The other had suffered Turles's heavy strike. So both appeared somewhat weak.
"Awake?"
However, Turles still inquired once.
Hearing Turles's greeting, red clouds flashed across both's pale faces.
However, Caulifla was angry. Cabba felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Boss, where's that Six-Star Dragon? I must properly teach him a lesson!"
Speaking, Caulifla wanted to wave her small fist, venting inner fury.
No wonder Caulifla was so angry. Really, this incident made this proud little gangster feel humiliated.
Since transforming into Super Saiyan—even experiencing Super Saiyan God transformation—besides Turles, Caulifla no longer placed others in her eyes.
Yet now, she'd been controlled by Six-Star Dragon. How could she accept this?
Cabba was simpler. He lacked Caulifla's strong competitive spirit. But thinking that after being controlled, he'd already transformed into Super Saiyan God yet couldn't withstand even one move from Turles—he felt somewhat embarrassed.
As for Carrit, his heart didn't carry such heavy burdens. He quite calmly accepted his failure.
Having interacted so long, how could Turles not understand what several people were thinking? But hearing Caulifla's words, Turles's face still darkened.
"You still want to teach Six-Star Dragon a lesson? Six-Star Dragon not teaching you a lesson would already be good!"
"Being mentally controlled this time—don't you have any thoughts? Just raging impotently here?!"
Turles rarely got angry. This made Caulifla's words catch directly in her throat.
Originally, Caulifla still felt somewhat defiant. But when she saw Turles's face, rebuttal words couldn't emerge no matter what. After muttering once, she lowered her head.
"What are you muttering? Say it loudly!"
This time, Turles had firmly decided to properly teach Caulifla a lesson. Otherwise, with her current behavior, who knew what trouble she'd cause?
Probably seeing Turles angry for the first time, Caulifla made no sound—head lowered, not uttering a word.
Turles also knew—relying only on this couldn't make Caulifla remember this lesson. But seeing her assuming an apologetic appearance, Turles also couldn't continue.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Carrit hurriedly eased things: "Turles, has that Six-Star Dragon been resolved?"
Turles also knew Carrit was changing the subject. But he also knew Caulifla was a proud person—couldn't be pressed too hard. So following his words, he said: "Could say it's resolved—could also say half-resolved!"
Speaking, he pointed at the ground's Dragon Balls for several people.
"Ah! How did this happen?"
Following Turles's hand's direction, several people finally saw—the seven Dragon Balls had once again returned to their unpurified appearance.
However, when Turles said these Dragon Balls' corruption wasn't severe—needing only one purification to complete—everyone finally relaxed.
However, this time several people all suffered varying degrees of injuries. So purifying Black Star Dragon Balls could only be postponed.
Several days later, everyone's injuries had completely healed. Turles and Caulifla's consumed mental power had also completely recovered.
"HA!"
This day, six people transformed into Super Saiyans again, preparing to channel righteous heart power, preparing to transform into SSG to thoroughly purify Black Star Dragon Balls.
However, this time to be safe, Turles decided he would purify the Dragon Balls.
With the other five's help, Turles easily completed Super Saiyan God transformation. Hit watching from the side showed eyes continuously flickering with inexplicable radiance.
However, Turles didn't notice these things. He walked before the seven Black Star Dragon Balls, casually grabbing one to begin purification.
Fortunately, matters didn't create further waves. As righteous power from Turles's body infected it, the Dragon Ball in hand continuously emitted black ominous aura. Soon, under everyone's observation, it restored to clear transparent appearance.
Turles carefully sensed the Dragon Ball in hand's condition. After confirming no other problems were discovered, he finally completely relaxed.
Afterward, Turles sequentially purified the remaining six Dragon Balls.
After all seven Dragon Balls completed purification, time had already passed half an hour—exactly when Turles's Super Saiyan God transformation time ended.
"Phew!"
Seeing matters perfectly resolved, Turles exhaled a long breath!
"Finally finished!"
