After returning to his residence, Roy stayed there for three days.
Then, under Roy's expectant gaze, three golden clusters of light appeared before him.
Dragon Ball has concluded. Based on the popularity of the work during serialization and the public reaction after its ending, three random items will be issued.
The fifth ability: World's Conclusion.
Once a manga Roy created reached its ending, he would receive three random things from that manga world, based on the work's popularity during serialization and the public reaction after its conclusion.
And now, after two full years, Dragon Ball had finally ended.
Roy was about to receive his final harvest.
Considering Dragon Ball's influence across the world, the media's frantic reports after its conclusion, the fans wailing as if the sky had fallen, and the critics writing all sorts of nostalgic retrospectives, Roy had every reason to believe that this harvest would be enormous.
On top of that, Roy had previously sacrificed the three chapters of Fist of the North Star.
With all those factors added together, Roy had every reason to believe that this reward would be extremely great.
After the three golden lights appeared, they all swiftly entered Roy's body, wrapping his entire figure in a layer of golden radiance.
A long while later, the light faded.
Roy was still digesting what he had just obtained.
Finally, after another stretch of time passed, Roy let out a long breath and opened his slightly profound eyes.
"To think I actually got these three excellent things!"
A joyful look appeared on Roy's face.
Everything he had gained this time was extremely powerful.
The first was naturally the ability Roy had been longing for ever since the third round of the Hunter Exam began: Guldo's Time Stop.
Guldo's Time Stop: a time-stopping ability that allows the user to stop time for as long as they can hold their breath.
A time-stopping ability.
In battles between experts, a single second could decide life and death. Time stop was practically a cheat-level power.
Especially in battles between powerhouses at Roy's level, a difference of even 0.01 seconds could lead to two completely different outcomes.
In the later parts of Dragon Ball Super, Universe 6's Hit relied solely on a Time-Skip technique that could pause time for 0.1 seconds, and with that alone, he easily defeated Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. He became the strongest being in Universe 6 aside from its God of Destruction and Angel.
Just 0.1 seconds was already that powerful.
Guldo's Time Stop, meanwhile, was directly proportional to stamina and ability.
The stronger one's stamina, the longer one could sustain the time stop.
Roy briefly held his breath and used Time Stop three full times.
The result was the same as when Guldo used the ability. Once Roy held his breath, the entire world seemed to freeze.
The wind stopped moving.
The birds stopped flying.
Roy could also clearly feel his stamina draining from within his body.
When Roy released his breath, everything resumed once more.
Aside from the powerful Time Stop ability, Roy had also learned the three techniques he most wanted to learn.
Kaio-ken!
Kaio-ken was created by King Kai. When used, the user's ki turned red, and their physical strength, speed, and defensive power increased severalfold. Its principle was similar to the Super Saiyan transformation.
However, it placed an enormous burden on the body. If the multiplier used exceeded the body's endurance, the body would collapse.
After Son Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, he rarely used Kaio-ken again precisely because his body could not withstand the double burden of Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan.
Majin Buu's Immortal Body!
This was Roy's third harvest.
Of course, Roy had not turned his body pink like Buu's, nor had he grown a little tail. Rather, his body now possessed the same abilities as Majin Buu's.
Majin Buu's Immortal Body granted body parts that could extend or contract at will. The arms and limbs could stretch like the Gum-Gum Fruit, or even surpass the Gum-Gum Fruit's ability, extending and retracting without limit. They could be used for binding, impacts, destruction, and all kinds of varied combat techniques. The length of the entire body could be changed freely.
For long-range attacks, the user could use their extendable limbs to create all sorts of destructive methods, continuously stretching their arms to attack, tightly wrapping around the enemy's body after extending, then throwing them away. They could whip enemies with long arms, coil around the opponent's whole body, or fling the enemy around violently while letting them be battered at will. The entire body could twist into all kinds of bizarre shapes to attack the enemy.
A body that could freely lengthen and shorten, with astonishing flexibility and stretching power, could practically be called the highest-level version of the Gum-Gum Fruit.
It could also separate portions of the body like clay or mochi and use them as offensive methods. In that sense, it could also be called the highest-level version of Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit.
This Immortal Body's powerful abilities could also be used to launch attacks freely according to the surrounding environment and terrain. No matter what planet he was on, Roy could use tactics suited to the situation. His body was strong, his power tremendous, and his combat strength extremely formidable.
Its life force was also extraordinarily powerful. He could live forever without eating or drinking. He also possessed the infinite vitality and stamina of Buu's original form, requiring no sleep and never falling ill.
At the same time, he could still eat to greatly strengthen himself, and he could use absorption to enhance his own strength by absorbing powerful individuals.
He could also survive without oxygen, withstand immense pressure, fly without limit, and fear no vacuum pressure whatsoever.
Most importantly, this immortal body possessed infinite regeneration. As long as even one cell remained undestroyed, he could regenerate.
In other words, it could basically withstand endless overloading.
In the future, even if Roy used the highest multiplier of Kaio-ken while in his mimicry state, his current physical ability would be able to endure it completely.
The power he unleashed then would absolutely be unprecedented.
And once Roy awakened and transformed into a Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan 1, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan Blue, and Super Saiyan God, and then paired those forms with the highest-multiplier Kaio-ken…
Just imagining that scene was enough.
It could be said that Roy had absolutely made a killing with this harvest.
Sacrificing those three manga chapters had not been in vain.
Speaking of those three manga chapters, it was also time to decide which manga would be serialized next.
The concept for Roy's eighth Nen ability was faintly taking shape in his mind.
All he lacked now was an opportunity.
Thinking this, Roy directly picked up the phone and called old Luke.
"Hello, Luke-sensei. I already have a newly drawn manga here. Would you like to take a look?"
At that moment, Roy's eyes flickered with an indescribable, feverish light.
