Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Culinary Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 70 The Birth of Superstition

Chapter 70 The Birth of Superstition

"There's no problem with the water inlet."

Of course there's no problem; this has directly created a lake in the mountains.

Even if the underground water veins are at a low altitude, they wouldn't be as low as the foot of a mountain.

"So, the spring has been successfully opened?"

Broly asked.

"It opened successfully."

Batu Nan nodded. He felt like he was in a dream. He had persisted in restoring the riverbed for ten years, and after encountering Broly, the first exploration site yielded a huge reward.

However, to be more accurate, the lottery machine was smashed by the boy in front of him, and then the boy manually selected a winning image from the lottery machine.

"So, will the river have water soon?"

Broly asked again.

"It won't be that fast. At the rate the water is spreading, it will take at least ten days to half a month. The Katishi River has been dry for a long time, and the riverbed is very thick. For it to appear as if water is flowing on the surface, the bottom must be completely filled with water."

"Can you speed it up?"

"It would be difficult to do with normal methods, but if you could dig out similar springs (lakes in the mountains) in other high-altitude watercourses and connect these springs and lakes with the riverbed, you should be able to speed up the process."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go dig! You point out a spot, I'll send out a wave, and we'll join forces to expand and strengthen this area, creating many more springs here."

"Brother Broly, the food is ready. Aren't you going to eat first?"

Broly had intended to carry Batunan away, but after hearing Tsukushi's words, he sat back down.

The world is vast, but nothing beats eating.

The matter of digging for a spring can wait until we've had a full meal; there's no need to rush it.

During meals, the children routinely handed Broly food.

The well diggers nearby saw this, whispered among themselves, and then someone came over to give Broly food.

"Oh, are these for me?"

Broly was somewhat surprised to be fed by the well digger.

"Yes, this is on behalf of everyone over there, and I present it to you."

The well digger who brought the food was very humble, carefully placing the various foods in his hands in front of Broly.

"Thank you, you are all such kind people."

Broly still gave him a "good guy" card. Although the food from the well digger didn't look as refined as the food made by Tsukushi, it was still food. As long as it was food and not bitter, Broly would accept it without hesitation and feel grateful to those who gave him food.

Upon hearing the words of thanks, the well digger who had brought the food was so moved that he knelt down and kowtowed several times to Broly before excitedly returning to his group of well diggers.

"I am blessed, I am blessed..."

In the crowd, the person was speaking in a way that was difficult to understand.

"What happened?"

Broly was a little confused, so he picked up a cornbread and started eating it.

The steamed buns had some pickled melon bits mixed in, and the taste was surprisingly good.

"They treat you like a god. People who dig wells in Kathisi, even if they don't really believe in the Oasis religion, still have some things they believe in, like the idea that the land has a spirit."

Batunan explained, and placed the dry rations in front of Broly.

What are you doing?

Broly asked him curiously.

"I used to be an atheist, but after seeing your scene of opening the spring and flying to the sky today, I think I should believe in theology again."

As Batunan spoke, he bowed to Broly and uttered a devout prayer: "Broly above, Saiyans protect you."

Broly: ()?

"Big brother, you've become a god?"

"no."

"I encountered the Oasis Church recruiting when I was buying food in town. I was taken to visit the denomination, and the members seemed to donate money and food to their god."

Tsukushi recounted an incident that occurred the day before yesterday when she was shopping for groceries.

"May the Saiyans bless me, I think I can try to become this god."

Broly put on a stern face and immediately said...

"Then I will be your most loyal follower, brother!"

Bonnie said happily.

"No, no, no, I should be the most loyal believer!"

The children started arguing.

"You guys don't really intend to start a sect here for fun, do you?"

Melard sensed something was wrong and quickly asked what was going on.

Why not?

Nahash countered, saying he was a staunch supporter of Broly.

If a cult (support group) is created, more people will come to support the leader.

So why don't they do that?

"At that time, Akame can become a saintess of the church."

Tsukushi took a bite of the stewed radish and said just that.

"What is a saintess?"

Akame asked, "Is there a potato in my mouth?"

"It refers to a woman who dedicates everything to God."

Green, being quite learned, provided an explanation.

"Why should we give everything to God?"

Akame immediately offered a vague rebuttal.

"But this god is Broly's older brother."

"Oh, that's alright then, but I can't give my sister to him."

"But Black Eyes is also a saint."

"Then my sister can't give it to him either."

"Aren't you all wings?"

Mine asked curiously, still remembering the shock she felt when she saw the three people forming a picture of a roc spreading its wings in the room.

"We are wings, that's true, but this is my older sister (younger sister), and I will never let him be his older sister (younger sister)."

"Red Eyes and Black Eyes said in unison."

"Saintess, that sounds like a good title, but I prefer fighting and hunting, so how about I call myself the Fighting Saintess or the Hunting Saintess?"

Esdeath stroked her chin, as if she had already come up with a prefix for herself.

Melard: "..."

This group seems to be serious; they appear to genuinely intend to establish a sect.

"So, should I be called the Assassin Saintess?"

Merad also started to think about it; she felt that she also needed a catchy prefix.

"I'm sorry, Melard, you shouldn't be considered a saint or anything like that."

However, Mine interrupted her thoughts.

Why?

"Because the only saintess now recognized by Brother Broly should be just a few of us."

Mine pointed earnestly at Akame, Kurome, Esdeath, and herself.

"I am also willing to give everything."

Melard quickly replied.

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't accept your offer."

Kurohime crossed her arms, making a gesture of refusal.

"It's alright, Sister Melard, you can be a regular believer."

Akame offered a word of comfort.

Melard: "..."

[Godf***ing ordinary believers! These wretched little girls have actually formed a defensive alliance! Once I take down Broly, I'll definitely teach them a lesson!]

Merad chewed on the stewed meat while thinking fiercely, but as she thought about it, the assassin girl's face flushed slightly, and she chuckled foolishly at Akame and the others.

"Miss, watch your facial expressions. You look like a middle-aged pervert right now."

Casandora was a little embarrassed to look, so she used her third hand to hold a tissue and wipe the drool from the corner of Merad's mouth.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the Saiyan God religion was formally established through the children's discussion because of the spontaneous worship performed by the well diggers.

After finishing his meal, Broly moved a large rock to the junction of the spring and the riverbed, intending to leave his name next to the spring (Yamachu Lake).

"Uncle Batu Nan, would you like to leave your real name?"

Just as Broly was about to type on the stone, he suddenly asked Batunan, who was standing next to him.

After all, the other party had said that his name should be listed first.

"No, no, no, just leave your name."

Batu Nan quickly refused, saying that opening the spring was the other party's skill, and he had no face to put his name on it.
