"This feeling... is like you've already gotten used to this kind of devouring behavior elsewhere."

Indeed, the reason Qin Chuan was able to become familiar with this behavior of devouring life energy so quickly was because he had already used the "Black Bird" to devour the power of many people.

Although the two processes of "devouring" are different, magic is a power that is rather idealistic, and Qin Chuan's past experience in "devouring" was of great help.

In fact, Qin Chuan had that idea precisely because he realized that he seemed to be getting quite proficient at using magic to devour things.

That means it can devour Moro!

Ultimately, his pursuit of magic was essentially about learning the technique of "devouring planetary energy" to significantly enhance his combat power.

Now that he has learned to "absorb energy," all he lacks is the "physical ability" to contain the planet's energy.

Currently, the only one who can provide this ability is Moro.

Just as Moro was about to have Qin Chuan continue practicing magic, the prison door was suddenly opened.

Moro looked up in confusion, only to see a short Galactic Patrolman standing at the door.

Qin Chuan also looked over, and was surprised to find that he actually recognized the person who came—this guy was none other than Jaco, the protagonist of the spin-off, who also appeared in Dragon Ball Super.

Jak was rather timid, and when facing Moro, the most powerful prisoner in legend, his legs were visibly trembling.

However, he was also somewhat concerned about his image, so although the trembling of his legs was clearly visible, he still pretended to be nonchalant and said to Moro:

"Moro, come out with us for a bit, consider it a chance to keep watch."

"……oh?"

Moro narrowed his eyes, and a pressure emanated from him, making even Jak's feigned calm expression falter.

For ten million years, the Galactic Patrol never attempted to release Moro from prison. While other prisoners were allowed to roam the prison grounds during their breaks, he was the only one who couldn't.

Over ten million years have passed, how could the Galactic Patrol suddenly change its nature?

Although Moro had some doubts, he still followed Jak out—he didn't know what the Galactic Patrol was up to, but this was indeed a rare opportunity for him to get out of prison.

Maybe if he walks around, he can find something useful nearby to help him escape from prison?

Soon, Moro followed Jak to the training ground outside the Galactic Patrol headquarters—the area had been cleared out in advance, and all the Galactic Patrol officers who had been patrolling nearby had been evacuated.

The entire empty field was occupied only by Gak, Moro, and Qin Chuan who followed behind them.

"..."

Moro wasn't stupid; he had already noticed something was amiss.

His brow furrowed, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Chapter 257 The End of Moro

Gak isn't very strong. Although he always tries to appear confident in front of others, if his life is truly in danger, he'll run away faster than anyone else.

So after bringing Moro to the empty training ground, Jaco immediately ran away—even though Moro's magic was sealed, his physical strength alone was enough to kill him.

Moro ignored the fleeing Jak, turned around, and looked at Qin Chuan with a grim expression:

"It seems everything you said before was a lie—you never intended to let me leave the Galactic Prison alive?"

"I wouldn't say I'm lying to you. Didn't I take you away from the Galactic Prison? This is the training ground of the Galactic Patrol Headquarters, which is no longer within the prison area in a strict sense."

Qin Chuan then spoke to Moro with an air of seriousness, though every word seemed to touch a nerve in Moro, deepening his anger.

"Besides, I didn't lie to you about the Dragon Balls. They really exist. I made a wish with one and gained immortality—why don't you give it a try?"

"Are you... just saying this on purpose to annoy me?"

Moro was so angered by Qin Chuan that he laughed. His smile became even more ferocious, and when combined with his ram's head, which represented the devil, he looked even more terrifying, enough to terrify the other Galactic Patrolmen.

"Killing me won't do you any good, will it? With your strength, do you need to curry favor with those Galactic Patrolmen? Even if you blow this place up, no one can stop you."

Moro clearly still held a sliver of hope. Although he hadn't managed to completely corrupt Qin Chuan's mind, he was still trying to use Qin Chuan's fighting prowess to persuade him to let him go.

Qin Chuan's combat power was already very high. Although it was still far from Moro's peak, Moro knew very well that the Galactic Patrol would not be able to stop Qin Chuan even once.

If Qin Chuan lets him go, he will still have a chance to escape—at least in Moro's view, his death will not help Qin Chuan in any way, so he still has a glimmer of hope.

Hearing Moro's words, Qin Chuan also smiled—he knew that Moro's words meant that he had not yet realized two facts.

First, there is a trainee angel hidden among the Galactic Patrol. In fact, even in the original work, which is a timeline several decades later, Moro only realized that Merus was not human at the very end.

Secondly, Moro's death is useful to Qin Chuan—his physique, which can contain planetary energy, is exactly what Qin Chuan needs, allowing him to further and rapidly increase his strength.

Even with Merus watching, Qin Chuan wouldn't dare to devour planets indiscriminately in the Dragon Ball world, but there are plenty of planets in other worlds that he can devour without any inhabitants.

Anyway, those planets are just a waste of their energy if left unattended, and swallowing them won't affect any life... so what's the harm in him swallowing them?

The universe in the Dragon Ball world has the Omni-King to judge its level, which is different from other mission worlds. Having fewer uninhabited planets won't have any negative impact, and he's been eager to utilize the energy of those planets for a long time.

"...It seems you really aren't going to let me go?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan's expression remained unchanged after he said those words, and that Qin Chuan was just looking at him calmly, Moro seemed to realize that the other party had made this decision from the very beginning.

He didn't understand why Qin Chuan had set his sights on his death from the very beginning, but it was clearly impossible for him to just surrender like that.

With a push of his feet, he shot off into the sky above the training ground without hesitation, attempting to escape the Galactic Patrol Headquarters directly and fly into the vacuum layer using his own physical strength.

During the few days that Moro was teaching Qin Chuan magic, he also carefully observed Qin Chuan's body—he might not know the Saiyan race, but he was certain that Qin Chuan was the kind of human who needed to live in an oxygen-rich environment.

In other words, if he could successfully escape into space, Qin Chuan, who needed oxygen to survive, would be unable to catch him, and he could take this opportunity to escape from prison.

He had already made up his mind: if he could escape prison, he would go find the Dragon Balls! The Dragon Balls Qin Chuan spoke of were probably real; if only he could get the Dragon Balls to grant him a wish to return him to his prime...

Snapped!

However, just as he jumped up, he felt something grab his leg—he turned around in surprise, only to see Qin Chuan still standing in the center of the training field, not chasing after him at all.

His leg was caught by something unseen!

"Trying to escape? Get down here!"

Qin Chuan sneered as his "Blackbird Requiem" grabbed Moro's leg—this guy's escape speed was no concern at all; Moro had lost all his power, only his physical strength remained.

He might not even be able to launch a ki blast.

Following Qin Chuan's instructions, "Blackbird Requiem" swung the hand that was gripping Moro's leg forcefully, slamming Moro hard into the center of the training ground floor. The terrifying force caused the floor to crack all over.

"々` Cough...!"

Moro coughed up a mouthful of blood in pain, and a frustrated expression appeared on his old ram's head.

If his magic hadn't been sealed away by that damned Supreme Kai, and his fighting ability hadn't been stripped away... how could he have been captured so easily!?

"You've been living in prison for over ten million years, it must be tough. Today, I'll free you."

Qin Chuan looked at Moro's pained expression and said calmly.

"Devour him, Blackbird!"

The next moment, the center of "Blackbird Requiem" transformed into a black hole-like state, and it grabbed the powerless Moro, shoving him into its body without any hesitation.

The moment Moro's arm was stuffed into the body of "Blackbird Requiem," it was torn to pieces by terrifying power and disappeared.

Upon witnessing this scene, Moro's expression changed drastically, and in an instant, he understood everything:

"So that's how it is! You have some kind of 'devouring' ability! That's why your progress in devouring energy is so rapid... and you came here to devour me from the very beginning!"

Qin Chuan didn't answer him, but instead made "Blackbird Requiem" speed up the devouring process—he knew that villains died from talking too much, and he wouldn't give Moro any time to react.

The "Blackbird Requiem" intensified its power, instantly engulfing half of Moro's body.

Moro watched helplessly as his lower body gradually disintegrated and disappeared into something he couldn't see, letting out a shrill roar of rage:

"Qin Chuan, you bastard...!!!"

With a fit of impotent rage, Moro's last remaining body parts were also devoured.

In the original work, this guy also devoured a android named Seppensley, so it's like the tables have turned.

Chapter 258 The Phantom Thieves, Kisskill & Lila

"Thank you very much for carrying out the death penalty on Moro, Mr. Qin Chuan."

After devouring Moro and returning to the Galactic Patrol headquarters, Mels smiled and said to Qin Chuan.

"I've already reported this to the Galactic King, and he's willing to award you a medal. I wonder if you'd like it?"

"That's great! I don't even have a medal yet. I heard that you can only get one if you make a significant contribution to the safety of the galaxy."

Gak, who had returned with Qin Chuan, chimed in from the side—but judging from his tone, he was genuinely envious. His strength was insufficient, so he had no chance of receiving such recognition.

"If you have a medal awarded by the Galactic King, you will get extra points in qualification exams on many planets in the future."

"...Never mind, there's no need for that."

Qin Chuan's lips twitched, but he still shook his head and politely declined the medal, which was of little use to him.

He remembered that the Galactic King looked like an octopus, and the original author had even made a rather wicked joke by designing one of his tentacles as his penis, which Sun Wukong would always touch every time he shook hands with him.

Qin Chuan didn't think he could tell the difference between the octopus's penis and its other tentacles. He didn't want to accidentally grab an alien's thing like Sun Wukong did; the thought alone was disgusting.

"Really? That's a real shame. Being awarded a medal by the Galactic King is a very high honor."

Mels still had a smile on his face. He had long since realized that Qin Chuan was not the type to be interested in those things. All he wanted was to have stronger fighting power and to eliminate Frieza.

This aligns with his impression of Saiyans—pure and simple—but Mers doesn't dislike Qin Chuan for having this personality trait.

"By the way, Mr. Qin Chuan, I must remind you... it's best not to attack planets with life, otherwise..."

Knowing that Qin Chuan was about to leave soon, Mels suddenly reminded Qin Chuan.

As he said this, Mels pointed upwards meaningfully—although there was a ceiling above them, Qin Chuan immediately understood what Mels meant.

—If too many inhabited planets are devoured, the universe's rating will drop, eventually attracting the attention of the Grand Priest and the Omni-King.

If the rating drops to a certain level, the Omni-King will take action and completely erase this universe.

To be honest, Qin Chuan still didn't quite understand the purpose behind the creation of Zeno, a character who looked and thought like a child but possessed the power to erase the universe.

Perhaps it was just a sudden whim of the original author to set a ceiling for combat power to limit the framework of the work, but for Qin Chuan, who is in the world of this work, it is actually a big obstacle.

Moreover... since Mers specifically mentioned this, it means that Mers must have already noticed that he possesses Moro's physique, which can contain the energy of a planet.

That's why he reminded Qin Chuan that if Qin Chuan was only absorbing energy from inanimate planets, he could pretend he didn't see it, but if it was from a planet with life...

He probably wouldn't even need to intervene; the entire universe would be buried along with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan simply smiled and nodded to Mels—appearing to agree to Mels's request.

In fact, he never intended to devour planets in the Dragon Ball world. He could have gone to mission worlds without Zeno to devour them. Surely those worlds wouldn't also have a Zeno judging the universe's rating, right?

I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to devour Zeno, since Zeno doesn't seem to have shown any fighting power other than his destructive power to destroy the universe.

However, we'll have to get past the High Priest first, right? It'll probably take quite some time.

……

After exiting the Dragon Ball world, Qin Chuan returned to the mission world selection screen.

【Dear Kobold, please select the mission world you wish to enter: 1. Dragon Ball (Time not adjusted); 2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Main quest generating); 3. TYPE-MOON (Main quest generating)】

【Dear Kobold, your special mission world is: 1. Yu-Gi-Oh! Katu Chronicle (Refresh attempts available today: 0)】

【Dear Kobold, you have 1 play attempts remaining for today】

He has one more chance to play, but he has already entered the Dragon Ball world, and he cannot enter the JoJo world or the Type-Moon world yet.

In other words, Qin Chuan can only try to enter the special mission world of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Kato Chronicle".

This is probably the first mission world that Qin Chuan has encountered where he has no idea about its internal development. After all, Yu-Gi-Oh! is just a card game, and the timeline of the card stories is entirely based on speculation by netizens.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan had played Yu-Gi-Oh! before his transmigration and had some understanding of the stories behind the cards, so he wasn't completely clueless.

"Enter the world of the Chronicles of the Katu Story."

Qin Chuan chose this special mission world.

……

The city at night is illuminated by neon lights, making the whole city appear colorful, like a dazzling rainbow in the darkness.

But amidst the neon-lit skyscrapers of the city, two figures are moving swiftly.

They are the twin phantom thieves—Kissgilller and Lila.
