Chapter 36: Jack Draws the Lottery – Ten Times Kaio-Ken with No Side Effects!

What a joke!

Just moments ago, the group leader, Mr. Jack, had exposed the dark history of another incredibly powerful figure. Even though everyone present had witnessed it, they all knew the unspoken rule—pretend you didn't see anything.

They had long learned from Lord Beerus that this so-called "King Jeon" was actually the Grand Zeno—the King of Everything.

To put it plainly, standing in front of the King of Everything was like standing before a cosmic god. Compared to him, they were no more than ants—no, even less than ants!

And yet, Jack had casually exposed the dark history of that being.

The sheer audacity and power it would take to do such a thing... it was unfathomable.

Everyone understood that pretending to be ignorant was their best and only option. If they didn't act dumb, they might not live to see the next day.

Even though Jack was their group leader, no one could guarantee he'd save them if they got in trouble for stepping out of line.

So, in such moments, the best choice was clear: play dumb!

Beerus and Piccolo understood this very well. They'd already zipped their lips.

Unfortunately, there's always one fool who doesn't get the memo.

Sun Wukong: "@Krillin, @Piccolo, didn't you all hear what Lord Jack just said earlier...?"

Vegeta: "Kakarot! Shut up! Do you have a death wish? Don't drag us down with you!"

Krillin: "Yeah, Goku. We didn't see anything, and neither did you. Understand?"

Beerus: "Goku, if you say one more word, I will erase you on the spot!"

Beerus was about to blow a gasket. He knew Goku could be simple-minded, but this was a whole new level of stupidity!

Everyone else had already caught on and was playing dumb. But Goku, in his classic cluelessness, just had to go and stir the pot.

Beerus had never seen anyone so foolish.

Despite his rage toward Goku, what truly shook Beerus was Jack.

He had long suspected that Jack wasn't an ordinary figure—anyone who could gather so many top-tier beings into a single group had to be immensely powerful.

But what he just saw had blown away all of Beerus' expectations.

He saw Jack, the group leader, casually refer to the King of Everything as "Little Zeno."

Little. Zeno.

Even more outrageous, Jack said he had once chased Zeno around trying to fight him.

Zeno tried to deny it—but everyone could tell that his refutation was weak and half-hearted.

Which meant... Jack was telling the truth.

Someone who could mock Zeno and fight him?

That was beyond Beerus' comprehension.

For someone like him—a God of Destruction—what did that make Jack? A being beyond comprehension. A being who dwarfed gods.

Jack: "Alright, alright. I finished the task this time just to experience the feeling of doing it myself."

Jack: "Next time, if there's another task, I'll leave it to one of you."

Beerus: "Thank you, Lord Jack!"

Whis: "Thank you, Mr. Jack, +1!"

Vegeta: "Thank you, Lord Jack, +2!"

Piccolo: "Thank you, Mr. Jack, +3!"

...

Jack: "Since I've completed the task, I should be able to draw from the lottery now. Let's see what kind of reward I get."

Beerus: "Lord Jack is bound to get something amazing!"

Zeno: "Jack, how about you give me this lottery chance? I want to try it for once too!"

Jack: "Give it to you? Forget it. I don't trust your luck."

Zeno: "Hey! Who said that? I have good luck!"

Jack: "If I let you draw, and you end up pulling something lame, how are you going to compensate me?"

Zeno: "Fine! If that happens, I'll give you my next lottery draw. Deal?"

Jack: "Then why not just draw your own next time instead?"

Jack: "Besides, letting someone else draw your reward shows you don't believe in your own luck."

Jack: "I believe in mine."

Zeno: "Hmph! Then let's see what you pull!"

"Ding! Congratulations to group leader Jack for winning: Ten Times Kaio-Ken with No Side Effects!"

Jack looked at the result and nodded in satisfaction.

Currently, the group mall had been unlocked, but due to the low level of the group overall, many high-end items remained unavailable.

Things like angelic power, Ultra Instinct, and advanced Saiyan bloodlines were all grayed out in the menu—unavailable for now.

However, anything won in the lottery still had to come from the available pool. So while the highest-tier powers were locked, there were still some exceptional items up for grabs.

And Jack had just drawn one of the best available: Ten Times Kaio-Ken without any side effects!

Even a regular Kaio-Ken with no side effects was a rare and valuable prize.

But ten times?

That was an absolute game-changer.

Jack opened the item interface and confirmed it: the current system limit allowed for ten times Kaio-Ken without side effects.

As any Dragon Ball warrior knew, Kaio-Ken came with serious risks. The more you multiplied your power, the more you strained your body.

A poorly timed Kaio-Ken could cause massive internal damage, shortening a battle—or a life—instantly.

Usually, using ten times Kaio-Ken required godlike stamina and endurance. Even Goku had once struggled to handle it.

And on top of that, Kaio-Ken amplified both strength and energy usage. If you used it carelessly, you might harm yourself before defeating the enemy.

But the No Side Effects version eliminated all that danger.

Jack could now push his body ten times beyond its normal limit without a scratch.

No strain on his muscles.

No blood-vessel-popping pressure.

No stamina drain.

It was pure power.

He could activate it instantly, maintain it indefinitely, and stack it with other abilities without worrying about backlash.

Jack grinned.

"I guess my luck really is something else."

He checked the group chat—everyone was still stunned by his draw.

Beerus: "As expected of Lord Jack!"

Whis: "Such divine luck... I must record this."

Vegeta: "Ten times Kaio-Ken with no side effects... just hearing about it makes my blood boil."

Piccolo: "How can we even catch up..."

Zeno: "Hmph! You were just lucky! Next time, I'll pull something even better!"

Jack chuckled to himself and casually stretched.

"Well," he muttered, "let's see what task comes next."

Author's Note:

Kaio-Ken (or World King Fist) is an advanced technique from the Dragon Ball universe. Normally, it multiplies a user's combat power at the cost of severe physical strain. For example, using it at three times the normal power risks broken bones and massive fatigue. Pushing it to ten times usually results in crippling damage unless the body has been trained specifically for it.

But Jack's draw eliminates those drawbacks entirely.

This is a major power-up in the story, setting him apart from other characters in both safety and strength.

Can anyone else compete?

Only time—and the next task—will tell.
