"Planetary energy........"

After listening to Shin's words, Tohru's expression turned serious.

Although she knew her master was incredibly powerful, what he had just revealed still exceeded her expectations.

To completely devour the energy of an entire planet, leaving behind only a small portion? Tohru could sense just how terrifying the power contained within that remnant of planetary energy was.

Even the gods from her original world wouldn't be capable of such a feat.

"Want to try absorbing this planetary energy? It should significantly boost your strength."

Shin smiled as he extended the glowing orb in his hand toward Tohru. Absorbing planetary energy was surprisingly simple—just eat it.

After all, the energy had already been stabilized by Shin's magic. Once inside the body, it would automatically release and integrate without any complicated additional steps.

"If you absorb this energy, you might even become strong enough to take revenge on that 'god.'"

The reason Tohru had come to this world in the first place was because she had been impaled by the "Sword of God" in her original world. Clearly, she held a grudge against that deity.

Though the exact strength of that "god" was unclear, based on Tohru's memories, they shouldn't be overwhelmingly stronger than her—likely not capable of planet-destroying feats.

Just a small amount of planetary energy could elevate Tohru's power beyond planetary destruction, making revenge a trivial matter.

"I don't really have any desire for revenge anymore. That guy sealed me away and forced me into this world, but in doing so, I met you, Shin. It was a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Tohru's lips curled into a faint smile as she spoke in a cheerful tone.

"So now, I just want to focus on being your maid properly. Going back to my original world? I haven't even thought about it in a long time."

In fact, after Kanna arrived at Shin's home, she had once asked Tohru if she wanted to return to their original world.

But Tohru refused outright. Right now, she only wanted to stay by Shin's side—she couldn't think of any benefit to going back.

"Ah, but if Shin wants me to absorb this energy, I'll do it."

Though she had voiced her thoughts, Tohru didn't reject the planetary energy in Shin's hand.

"Getting stronger would help me do a better job as a maid, right?"

"I don't think becoming stronger would make much of a difference in your maid duties."

Shin chuckled helplessly. Tohru was already plenty strong—even if she grew more powerful, it wasn't like she needed that kind of strength for household chores.

"But wait a second—don't swallow it yet. I need to set up some protective measures first."

Though Tohru was no weakling, recalling what happened in Dragon Ball Super when Moro distributed energy to others, Shin decided some precautions were necessary.

In the Moro arc, a prisoner named Saganbo, who was already quite strong, received energy from Moro and grew even stronger—only to eventually die from his body being unable to handle it.

Shin didn't want Tohru to suffer the same fate.

Summoning Black Bird Requiem, he activated Yotsuya Miko's Stand ability and bestowed Avalon's power upon Tohru.

After all, Shin's synchronization rate with the Dragon Ball world had now reached 100%. His own immortality was perfectly replicated, making Avalon somewhat redundant.

Since Tohru needed protection, he simply transferred Avalon into her body to provide constant regeneration and defense.

"Alright, now you can eat it."

Confirming that Avalon had fully integrated into Tohru's body, Shin nodded and extended his finger, the planetary energy floating above it.

Tohru didn't hesitate—she immediately took Shin's finger into her mouth, swallowing both it and the planetary energy.

Though, judging by her actions, it seemed like sucking on his finger was her main goal, with the energy being an afterthought.

Still, once the energy was inside her, Shin began monitoring the changes in Tohru's ki.

Sure enough, he soon sensed Tohru's ki skyrocketing as the planetary energy rapidly spread throughout her body.

However, what Shin didn't expect was that as Tohru's ki surged, her expression began to shift strangely.

"Shin... I feel a little unwell..."

Tohru suddenly grabbed Shin's arm, her voice trembling as if she was holding something back.

"That energy is too strong... My body can't handle it. I need to release it quickly..."

Shin was stunned.

While Avalon could indeed repair Tohru's body and prevent her from exploding, it couldn't allow the energy to remain inside her indefinitely.

It seemed he had underestimated just how much of a boost planetary energy could provide.

For Shin, this amount of energy only resulted in a minor increase—but for Tohru, it was an overwhelming surge.

Unlike Moro, who frequently distributed energy and knew exactly how much to give, Shin had no experience in this area. He had accidentally overfed her.

But Tohru couldn't release her energy here—if she did, not just Japan, but the entire Asian continent would suffer.

"Then let's find another place to release it."

With that thought, Shin grabbed Tohru's hand and teleported them upward.

In the next moment, the two appeared in the vacuum of space, far above Earth.

Here, Tohru could unleash her energy without worrying about collateral damage—even if she blew up a few asteroids, it wouldn't matter.

But just as Shin was about to tell Tohru to let it all out, she suddenly clung to him, her face flushed.

She licked her lips, her expression making her intentions unmistakable.

"...So when you said 'release,' you meant it like this?"

Shin finally understood what Tohru meant by "releasing" her energy and couldn't help but laugh.

He had gone out of his way to bring her to outer space for this...

Was doing this kind of thing in the cosmos a bit too ahead of its time?
