Darc only sighed deeply and examined his own body.
The True Kaioken was already dimming down from his last power up to this stage. But something did change. His tat was visibly larger now. Would he end up completely red if he goes far enough?
"Guess I will have to invest some training time to further improve my Kaioken."
Refocusing his attention and disengaging the new form he looked at the planet in front. Darc flew straight to the surface and landed on it.
The gravity was only as strong as a normal moon's. Even the landscape was also pretty much the same without any oxygen.
Good thing his breathing technique was already so advanced that he would not die in space even after days without air. But he still should hurry up.
"Should transfer it to the Hakaishin planet?", asked Whis when he also landed near Darc.
"No, that would take too long...I got a better idea." Darc raised his fist and slammed it down on the crust that covered the Dragonball.
It erupted outwards into space and underneath it, a shiny orange surface appeared. It was the true form of the Dragonball. A perfect sphere to the last digit.
"Can you send me the coordinates of the Dragonballs per telepathy?", asked Darc to the angel.
"Hmm, sure. Here you go." With a wave of his scepter, the location of all the Super Dragonballs in Universe 7 was in Darc's head.
Thinking about it Darc summoned his own scepter and looked at where the next Dragonball was.
Whis actually made a surprised look seeing that staff in his hands. "Did you create that replica?"
"Yes...", answered Darc while locating the rest.
"Very interesting" Whis smiled greatly now as if finding something very precious. Very uncommon for him. "What are you planning this time?"
"Not much. Your warp technique is just a little bit too slow. Sure, you can fly from one Universe to the other but for this little task of collecting the Dragonballs, I think my instant transmission is more suitable." With that said he placed a hand on the Dragonball and also touched Whis with his scepter and transferred them to the next location in an instant.
Not waiting for his response he left a ki thread attached to him and the Dragonball and flew to the next Dragonball to tag it as well.
With that easy method, it didn't take very long and Darc collected all four of them in just minutes. If he had used Whis as a transport it would have probably taken much longer.
When he had them all he transferred them close by to the Hakaishin planet.
"So my help was not even needed." sulked Whis a little bit.
Dac knew he didn't really mean what he said. "I will rely on you when we are in Universe 6. I still can't teleport between realms with that difficulty. And even though it is a twin of our Universe I doubt the layout is the exact same."
"I would only need to give you the information via telepathy, no?"
"Are you trying to shift all the work to me? Did Beerus rub off on you to be this lazy?"
"Oh my. Those harsh words. You know there are a few planets that need to be destroyed, right?"
Darc sighed. "More work. Great."
Just at that moment, they arrived back at the Hakaishin planet.
Darc could see Gohan already doing some light exercises while Piccolo was meditating close to him.
"Already finished? That was extremely fast.", commented Piccolo. He was also the first to notice them.
"Instant Transmission." That was all Darc replied with.
"I see.", nodded the green guy and closed his eyes again.
Vegeta came over after having sat down on a stone while waiting. "Did something happen?", he asked.
Darc raised a brow. "No, why do you ask?"
"Your energy spike a few minutes ago could be felt miles away. Even on this remote planet."
"Oh that. Nah, don't worry. I just improved my super transformation. Anyway, why are you not training?", replied Darc.
"You wanted to teach us personally. Did you already forget that so quickly?"
"Right, that I did say. Problem is. I am somewhat in a hurry. Hmm...You will probably be pissed, but you will have to make do with my clone." When Darc was finished with his sentence he split into two.
"He will teach you while I am gone. This time around it will very likely take a while. Clone, please do also remember to take some time for your own training."
"I am you. As if I didn't already know that..."
"..."
"Well, I am going after the remaining Super Dragonballs then."
"Good luck, Original.", said the clone and turned around. "Alright, Vegeta. Let's start from the beginning. Show me all your forms and we will rebuild that foundation of yours."
Vegeta only harumphed with arrogance at the clone but still complied.
Darc only watched that for a short moment until he himself left with Whis to the sixth Universe.

Universe 6 Unknown location
"Hey, have you done what I told you to do!?", asked a female voice some other guy. It looked like it was a henchman.
"Yes, Boss! We made sure the other gangs won't set foot on our turf any longer."
"Very good. That is a good reason for us to celebrate! Let's make it a lavish party!", exclaimed the female after hearing the good news. The latest turf war was already getting somewhat annoying so she was in a good mood now.
"Is that such a good idea Onee-san? We are actually lacking in the food department.", asked another female and interrupted her.
"Don't worry. We will just steal it from someone that enters our turf."
Just at that moment, a man came running into the room with a face of despair.
"Boss! We have an intruder!! He is beating up all of our people!"
"What? Someone is cocky enough to challenge us on our hideout?" Then she started grinning. "I really hope for that person to be strong enough to take what is coming. Being brave is one thing. Being stupid another."
"Let's go." she waved at the other female and started walking outside to meet the intruder.
