Chapter 234: From Python to Dragon
— — — — — —
Eevee's eyes lit up with excitement. "Wait, you're finally transforming into a dragon? Does that mean I might be able to tap into dragon genes too and get a Dragon Evolution form?"
Because its human form looked too young, Eevee usually stayed in Pokémon form—especially around others. Only when alone with Cynthia would it switch to human form.
According to Eevee, he was trying to help Cynthia gradually adjust and build a deeper bond.
"We'll know once we try it out," Hermione said, glancing over. "Speaking of which, have you finished researching the dragon-type genes from your own world?"
"I've got it all figured out!" Eevee replied smugly. "Dragonite, Garchomp, Hydreigon—I've studied them all. I already have a solid plan."
"Honestly, even without this dragon bloodline, I'm confident I could evolve into a dragon-type form within six months!"
Some principles are universal. What Eevee lacked wasn't knowledge—it was the primal essence of the Dragon element.
"Well, I'll wish you good luck in advance then," Hermione nodded.
"Dragon bloodline, huh?" Ottoman rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Unifying the world just got easier than a kid's game!"
Uchiha Renzo shot him a sidelong glance. "You're not from a normal world, are you? I saw in the memories you shared—your world had some special energy too?"
Ottoman's eyes gleamed. "YEAH! At first, I was just thinking of the basics—unify the world, lay down strict laws that everyone has to follow... except me, of course. Not that I'll make that obvious."
"Then I can just sit back and enjoy what people build—entertainment, technology, all the good stuff."
"And once I get bored with the normal world? Maybe it'll evolve on its own. Maybe a supernatural era will kick in! I'll just look for a way to amplify this trace of energy. I'll never run out of things to do—wahaha!"
"Ahem, brother... I've got a few fun ideas for you to try," Hentai Renzo chimed in with a pervy grin.
"Why is he in this damn group?" Hermione groaned, arms crossed in frustration. "I wish all the other Renzos that will appear in the future to be girls. Now that would be an improvement."
She was clearly tired of being the only one isekai'd as a girl.
"If some powerful female Renzo shows up," she added smugly, "maybe she's the original, and the rest of you are just her genderbent versions."
"In that case," she added smugly, "you were always meant to be girls. Everyone else just got the wrong gender."
"Wait, WHAT?" Pirate Renzo and the others were stunned.
"No way," Hentai Renzo muttered, rubbing his chin. "We're way too pervy for that. No way we were originally girls!"
Hermione shot him a massive eye-roll. "Speak for yourself. I'm not like you."
"Yeah, yeah," Hentai Renzo nodded repeatedly. "Still, I gotta ask—who was it again who wanted to start an all-female harem?"
"I feel bad for the future Hogwarts boys. All the pretty girls will be taken by you. The rest'll be stuck picking from leftovers—or going full yaoi!"
Hermione: "Mind your own damn business! I do what I want! Hmph!"
As the conversation spiraled into chaos, Aizen finally stepped in to shut it down. "Ahem! That's enough nonsense. Let's change the subject."
"As for who we really are… we can talk about that once all 36 of us are gathered. Even then, we might not have a clear answer."
The future was unpredictable, after all.
"Speaking of dragons," Hermione said, switching gears, "Kaido from the One Piece world fits the bill, doesn't he? Sure, he got his powers from a Devil Fruit, but if we can extract its core essence, we might be able to decode a dragon genome from it."
She'd always suspected those Mythical Zoan fruits weren't entirely fictional—the beasts they were based on might've actually existed in the One Piece world.
"Oh yeah!" Ottoman's eyes lit up again. He turned to Pirate Renzo. "Bro! Can you figure out a way to take Kaido down? Let's do it!"
"Kaido, huh?" Pirate Renzo nodded. "I'll give it a shot."
Ottoman grinned wide. "You're the best, man!"
"By the way," Uchiha Renzo said, turning to Dragorr, the Dragon Ball Renzo, "don't forget to swing by Korin Tower soon. Pick up some Senzu Beans and the Ultra Divine Water. Study them well—especially that water."
Those were top-tier treasures.
"I was already planning to," Dragorr replied. "But I mean, with how powerful our healing techniques are now, are those really still necessary?"
"That's such a shallow way to look at it," Uchiha Renzo said, shaking his head. "Sure, we've got great healing powers now, but Senzu Beans are still worth researching. Not just for us—imagine giving them to people close to us. We can't be around to heal everyone all the time."
"The bigger deal is cracking the why behind them. If we can figure out the rules that make them work, maybe we can create skills or enhancements based on that. Worst case, we might still boost our own regeneration capabilities using what we learn."
You've gotta look past the surface and see the real mechanics.
"Oho?" Dragorr's eyes lit up. "Okay, not bad! You've got some serious insight there! I see now—Senzu Beans are way more valuable than I thought."
"Honestly, I'm even more interested in the Fruit of the Tree of Might," Aizen added with a sly grin. "Now that's a power boost worth chasing."
"Ugh…" Dragorr rubbed the back of his neck. "Now you're just piling it on me, huh? That one's gonna take time. Not only do I need to get stronger, I've also gotta figure out this spaceship situation first!"
"Honestly, I'm still not even sure where I stand in terms of power in the Dragon Ball universe. Their power scaling is just... wild. It's hard to compare anything."
So yeah, he didn't want to push too far without knowing where he stood. Plus, building and understanding interstellar ships wasn't exactly a weekend project.
Right now, the only spaceship he might get his hands on was Goku's damaged one.
"Yeah, I get that. It's kinda confusing," Aizen said with a shrug. "You should probably head to Master Roshi first and learn the basics of Ki. We still haven't really studied the essence of Ki at all—it's hard to measure or evaluate our progress without understanding it."
"It's happening soon!" Dragorr grinned. "Bulma and I are about to head out and start gathering Dragon Balls. I'll swing by Roshi's place along the way and pick up some martial arts while I'm at it."
"Don't forget to bring some 'special' anime and DVDs!" Hentai Renzo added with a creepy grin.
Everyone else: "...…"
Did he really need to say that out loud?
And why did he sound so hyped about it?
What a freak…
Everyone silently agreed that something was definitely wrong with that guy.
After that, they shared a few updates on their current progress and ended the meeting.

Beastverse
The World of Python Renzo – a chaotic fusion of Jurassic World, Godzilla, King Kong, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, Jurassic Park… and more.
...
Borneo
In a massive training ground buried beneath Borneo, Python coiled its massive body and, with a thought, conjured a large vial of Ice Dragon Bloodline Elixir using Hermione's memories. Without hesitation, it poured the potion into its mouth.
The effects kicked in almost instantly.
A moment later, Python felt every cell in its body ignite, like they were boiling and burning at the same time.
Waves of searing pain tore through its nerves, so intense that it let out a pained, guttural cry as it thrashed violently against reinforced steel and stone.
The entire facility began to quake.
"Warning: Abnormal status detected in the host! Initiating emergency defense protocol!"
Red Queen's projection appeared in midair. Seeing the ground shake violently, she quickly activated a containment field, wrapping the entire training ground in a shimmering energy dome.
"Host, do you require emergency medical intervention?" she asked, concerned.
"N-No... I can take it…!" Python responded telepathically, gritting through the agony as it continued to writhe.
Its transformation had begun.
First, its scales split apart and started falling off. Then, its body began to mutate dramatically. Bulges formed along its bottom, and from them burst forth four powerful limbs—dragon claws taking shape.
Its head and torso grew rapidly in size and structure, taking on the distinctive features of a dragon.
Two swells formed atop its skull—soon splitting open as sharp, glistening horns burst forth with a crack, glowing faintly with ancient runes etched into their surfaces.
"SSHHHRRRAAA!!"
The transformation didn't happen quickly—it lasted a full five days.
When the process finally ended, the enormous training arena looked completely different. The once-coiled serpent was gone. In its place stood a towering silver-white dragon, nearly eight meters tall and over ten meters long.
Golden eyes gleamed with raw, majestic authority. Its breath came in frosty plumes, and each exhale sent blasts of freezing mist across the arena.
The ambient temperature had dropped below zero.
"I did it," Python—now a dragon—murmured, its voice deep and reverberating with newfound power.
"Congratulations, Master," Red Queen said promptly, her voice laced with admiration.
