Drift Of The Multiverse: [Marvel] [Resident Evil] [DC] [Bleach] [DB]

Chapter 953: Chapter 954: You Are Also a Dragon

Transformation-type skills were not difficult to work out. What really gave Ethan a headache was how to choose.

"How about you just use the Black Cat Battle Maiden too!"

"...I have no interest in turning into a black cat."

"A white cat?"

"Is there a difference?"

"The color difference is quite significant..."

After casually telling Piccolo that he was actually a Namekian, Ethan returned to his peaceful days.

Because Goku and Ethan had successively displayed great strength, Raditz also behaved quite honestly, and surrounded by a group of powerful individuals, he had no opportunity to cause any trouble.

As for his overly abundant energy, even Chiaotzu could help him properly burn off that excess energy, not to mention that Raditz himself was eager to try this so-called training to see whether it was really as amazing as Kakarot claimed.

As a Saiyan, who would not want to become stronger? Raditz wanted that too.

Everyone was training hard. Goku, however, did not continue challenging higher gravity environments, but instead began adding extreme temperature conditions while continuing to train under one hundred times gravity.

Ethan also was not in a hurry to increase the multiplier. The one hundred times gravity environment could still allow his strength to grow rapidly. In this situation, there was no need to rush into challenging even higher gravity levels.

Taking advantage of this relatively stable period, he began to think over suitable transformation techniques.

Skills like the Kaio-ken and the Eight Inner Gates were all burst-type techniques, with less duration than transformation abilities, but he could also research them on the side.

"In the name of the moon, I shall punish you? Gu Nara, God of Darkness? Seal Release? Dream Summon?"

Because it was hard to decide for the moment, Ethan’s thoughts began to drift uncontrollably, and various images corresponding to transformation techniques kept flashing through his mind... Due to some unknown factor, the images that came to mind were all very inappropriate.

Ethan did not want to become a "big shot," so he naturally would not choose the transformations from those images. After thinking for a while, he felt the most suitable approach was to draw out part of the potential within himself...

In the enhancement potions he had used back then, there had been all kinds of elements, including dragon. With repeated purification, that part had not been removed, but had instead become a complete part of Ethan.

"Draw out the power of the dragon, enhance the body’s strength, and then withstand stronger bursts of energy?"

This seemed like a feasible method, and dragons were imposing enough that it would not give people the impression of some kind of cute creature.

At the same time, he had also figured out the burst skill. He just needed to modify the Dragon of the Darkness Flame. In particular, the ultimate move, the Black Dragon Wave, had considerable power. Devouring the Black Dragon Wave could also achieve an effect similar to the Kaio-ken. As long as the side effects were resolved, it could be used.

"Figured it out?"

"Mm!"

Seeing Ethan stand up, Yoruichi, who was licking an ice cream, knew he had an idea. She straightened her back slightly, sat cross-legged, and widened her eyes, wanting to see what move Ethan was going to use, or rather, what kind of transformation technique he would develop.

The two of them were not in the gravity chamber. The garden space where they lived was spacious enough, with large grassy areas where they could even set up two goals and use it as a football field.

This grassy area was also the central area for Bulma’s, Ethan’s, and Goku’s families. Not far away, there was also a forest and an artificial lake. Gatherings usually took place here.

Ethan had come here to think mainly because it was quiet and spacious.

As Ethan stood on a patch of bare ground, frowning and concentrating for a long time, his right arm began releasing powerful energy, which gradually took on a black, flame-like appearance.

"Dragon of the Darkness Flame?"

Ethan had used this set of techniques when he was in Soul Society. Yoruichi had specifically studied it for a while back then as well. She knew this black flame possessed terrifying destructive power, but in this world, converting energy into flame consumed too much energy and was less practical than directly using an energy blast, so she had not used the Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

"Isn’t the consumption high?"

"If you find the right method, the consumption isn’t that high."

Ethan’s understanding and control of energy were not something Yoruichi could compare to. He had made some targeted adjustments. Rather than saying Ethan converted his own energy into Dragon of the Darkness Flame, it would be more accurate to say he used an energy that was similar to Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

The appearance was similar, but there was a big difference internally.

This black energy possessed destructive power similar to Dragon of the Darkness Flame. It was a killing move Ethan had specifically modified to deal with certain enemies.

Whether it was Cell or Buu, both possessed terrifying regenerative abilities. If there was not a killing move that could completely destroy them, then the battle would become an endless war of attrition. Cell aside, Buu’s energy seemed limitless, and it was unknown whether that monster could even be exhausted to death.

As the black energy on Ethan’s hand gradually became fiercer, Ethan suddenly pushed his right hand forward. The black energy on his arm transformed into a black long dragon, roaring as it flew out.

"Dragon of the Darkness Flame!"

This was not shouted by Ethan, but spoken by Yoruichi, who was still holding her ice cream. She had never truly mastered this move back then. Although she could release it, she could not do so as effortlessly as Ethan, and she also could not freely control the Black Dragon’s movements. Mainly because Ethan had too many strange moves, she had not spent too much time on this one.

The black long dragon twisted and coiled through the air, then finally, with a twist of its body, lunged straight back at Ethan.

"Huh?"

Yoruichi had never seen this move used like that before. After all, a normal person would not use a move they had just sent out to attack themselves.

But after the black long dragon slammed into Ethan, it did not kill him. Instead, it caused Ethan to erupt with an even more terrifying aura. This feeling was somewhat similar to when she used Shunko.

Looking at Ethan, whose whole body was wrapped in black energy that looked like wings, Yoruichi carefully sensed the power he was releasing.

"At least ten times stronger than when he launched the attack?"

Ethan did not speak. Instead, he clenched his fists and drove the black energy on his body into another burst. The black energy, which had originally had a faint special shape, completely lost that form with this burst, turning into pure flame-like energy. In this state, it looked more like the Kaio-ken, just with a different color of energy.

"All black... doesn’t look good!"

"..."

Ethan looked speechlessly at Yoruichi, who was sticking out her tongue at him. He was still continuing to adjust this move, such as the smoothness of using it, the circulation and release of power, and finding a balance between increasing output and the burden on the body.

At the same time, the black energy flames slowly returned to a wing-like form, wrapping around Ethan’s body.

Just as Ethan was making adjustments, everyone who had sensed his battle power erupt rushed over, and then they saw him releasing that black aura.

"What is Ethan doing?"

No one rashly disturbed him. Just from Yoruichi’s appearance, it was obvious that Ethan was probably researching some kind of move.

"It feels a bit like Kaio-ken."

Goku and Raditz arrived together. Lately, besides training himself, Goku had also been guiding his older brother. After Raditz discovered that his own strength really was increasing, he became more and more obedient. Whoever is stronger in this family is in charge. This was very Saiyan.

"Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Ethan is modifying this move."

It was a technique they had never heard of. Everyone guessed it was a move from where Ethan came from, but the name sounded... not very righteous.

While everyone was chatting, the black energy on Ethan’s body gradually stabilized. Yoruichi, who had been observing, could already confirm that Ethan’s power in this state had increased by nearly twenty times.

"Adjusting it to this state should be about right."

Ethan had been estimating it in his mind. The current operating state was the best one. After training and adapting for a while, he would be able to use this move at maximum output, unleashing twenty times his battle power.

However, this was only a burst skill, not a transformation. Ethan was just using this move as a foundation. After slowly dispersing the black energy on his body, he then began trying the true transformation.

Seeing Ethan disperse the black energy, everyone thought he had finished the move. Just as they were about to greet him, they suddenly felt Ethan’s aura continuously rising.

"Could it be that he wants to try using that move at full power?"

While everyone was guessing, Yoruichi was the first to realize that was not the case. The rising aura also carried a somewhat indescribable feeling. This feeling was somewhat similar to when she used the Black Cat Battle Maiden.

Ethan quickly released his full power, but he still did not stop. It was as if he were preparing to draw something out. Veins bulged on his forehead, neck, and even his arms.

"This is..."

Although it was very slow, Ethan’s power was still increasing. Raditz had already activated his scouter. The number on it had already surpassed the 181,000 seen last time and was slowly approaching 190,000.

"What is he preparing to do?"

Just as everyone was guessing, Ethan’s pupils suddenly turned red. His vest was torn to shreds with a ripping sound. A pair of black wings actually grew from his back, and a pair of curved horns slowly emerged from his head. His muscles also became more defined, and a chaotic, scorching, dark aura lingered around him.

"This..."

Everyone remembered the Black Cat transformation Yoruichi had used earlier. Krillin had even imagined Ethan using that kind of transformation. As a result, he had not expected to see Ethan’s transformation so soon. It was just completely different from what he had imagined. It was not cute at all, and looked very intimidating.

"Is this a black dragon?"

Ethan’s aura gradually stabilized. He lowered his head and looked over himself, finding that aside from his muscles becoming more solid and gaining wings and a pair of dragon horns, there were no other changes.

Looking at the color of the wings, the black with a hint of purple reminded him of the giant dragon he had first refined into a potion, Black Dragon Princess Onyxia.

"Does this count as a Black Dragon transformation?"
