For Perilla, fighting powerful warriors was the reward.
But she had a question. "Why collect the Dark Dragon Balls instead of destroying them?"
"They're forged with Mechikabura's dark power. Even a God of Destruction's Hakai can't destroy them. And if you break one, the dark energy leaks out. Causes irreversible damage to that world. Sealing them after collection is the only solution."
Even Hakai can't destroy them?
Then again, Kain's Tokitoki could blow away Beerus's Hakai. Made sense.
"One more thing. I remember a parallel Dragon Ball world where the Dragon Balls turned evil. Why doesn't that happen in other worlds?"
"Those Dragon Balls were exposed to Dark Dragon Balls. Got corrupted. Spawned Evil Dragons."
So Earth's Dragon Balls are safe as long as they avoid Dark Dragon Balls. Good to know.
"Can I leave now? I'm ready!"
Every cell in Perilla's body buzzed with excitement.
BONK.
Kain flicked her forehead. "Slow down. You haven't learned anything yet. And Dark Dragon Ball auras aren't easy to find. Stay here. Train with me first."
Perilla rubbed her forehead. That hurt. She's stronger than me.
Made sense. Otherwise, Mechikabura would've killed her ages ago.
Future Timeline. North Kai's Planet.

North Kai lounged in his chair. Then—
A voice echoed in his mind.
He tumbled out of the chair. Scrambled to his feet. Wiped sweat from his forehead. "S-Supreme Kai of Time! What can I do for you?"
Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta stopped sparring. North Kai's panicking?
"Perilla's my student now. Apprentice Supreme Kai of Time. Find a new Apprentice Kai. She'll train here for six months before returning."
"What?! She's your—understood."
The connection cut.
North Kai's antennae drooped. Finally found a worker. And my boss poached her. Now she's MY boss.
Gohan approached. "Kai, what happened? Something about Perilla? Who's the Supreme Kai of Time? You seemed scared."
"Of course I'm scared! She's the most mysterious and powerful Kai!"
"There are gods above you?"
"Yes! Kais rarely show themselves. I never thought she'd contact me."
Vegeta scoffed. "You gods know weird tricks, but your raw power's nothing special. This Supreme Kai of Time is probably weak too."
"Don't say that! She guards multiversal timelines! Her strength is beyond you. Even Perilla—the strongest Saiyan—barely qualified as her student."
Vegeta's eyes widened. He clenched his fists. "You're saying Perilla's getting stronger?"
"Obviously. The Supreme Kai of Time's training methods far surpass mine."
"Damn it! Kai, use every training method you have! I'm the Saiyan Prince! I won't stay beneath a woman forever!"
He's spiraling.
Gohan blinked. Uncle Vegeta's treating Perilla like Dad now?
"Calm down! Divine Ki isn't easy to master. Take your time."
Time Nest.
Perilla trained. Or rather—got beaten.
Even in Pseudo God Form, she couldn't touch Kain's sleeve.
Kain's divine power was immense. But more importantly, she controlled time. Time Stop. Time Acceleration. Time Reversal. Time Skip. Effortless.
And this was her sealed state. Fully unleashed? Incomparable.
But six months of beatings paid off. Perilla's Pseudo God Form evolved—her hair tips turned red. Once the roots turned red, she'd fully unlock Super Saiyan God.
Her divine techniques improved too. She could now create a Hyperbolic Time Chamber anywhere. No need to visit Kami's Lookout.
After months of searching, Kain detected a Dark Dragon Ball in another multiverse.
"To find the real Dark Dragon Ball, collect its fakes first. I've taught you how to trace the real one through the fakes. This is your first mission. Don't disappoint me."
"Don't worry, Master! I won't let you down! Send me there—I can't wait!"
"Very well."
Kain raised her hand. Divine energy swirled. A time-space portal opened.
Perilla waved goodbye. Jumped through.
