Chapter 553 - 553: Bulma's amazing technology

"Well, this isn't actually that difficult."

Bulma nodded. For her, this really wasn't a big deal. All she had to do was increase Athena's psychic power to three times its current level in one go. If she had more time, she could make something even better.

She simply felt that this would be like letting someone reap the rewards without putting in any effort, so she had never considered doing something like this before.

More precisely, she didn't really like any technological inventions that could be used directly for combat.

It was only after coming to this world that Bulma had no choice but to consider such things.

"I see…"

Although Athena still didn't quite believe her, Bulma looked so confident that Athena didn't know what else to say. However, Bulma had already seen through her thoughts, so she spoke with a cheerful smile.

"And I can make some nice clothes and outfits for you! You'd be able to change clothes in an instant!"

"Huh? Change clothes in an instant?"

Athena didn't quite understand what changing clothes instantly meant.

"Yeah, I'll just make use of some of my spatial technology. Wait a moment…"

After saying this, Bulma quickly opened one of her compression capsules, took out a device, and began making a simple bracelet.

The entire process took less than five minutes. Athena practically watched the device take shape before Bulma handed it to her.

"Here! Just put it on and press the button, and you can change your clothes instantly!"

Bulma happily handed the bracelet to Athena. The moment Athena took it, she curiously pressed the button.

In the next instant, Athena felt a sudden lightness. Her original sailor uniform disappeared instantly, leaving her pure white body completely exposed to the air.

At first, Athena didn't react. But when she instinctively looked down at herself, she saw that her snow-white skin was completely exposed to the air.

"Ahhh!!"

Athena let out a scream, covered her already well-developed breasts, and quickly crouched down on the ground. Her cheeks rapidly turned bright red, and she ouldn't help but glare angrily at Bulma.

"Bulma! What kind of equipment is this?!"

Bulma awkwardly scratched her head and smiled, but she still gave a serious explanation.

"Haha, sorry! I forgot to put a new set of clothes inside. But as long as you put the clothes in properly, you can change outfits the moment you press the button."

This was something she had prepared for her equipment and combat armor. If things really came to the point where she had to go onto the battlefield, she wanted to be able to enter combat mode instantly and unleash firepower against her enemies.

As she spoke, she helped Athena press the button on her bracelet, and the next moment, the classic sailor uniform once again covered Athena's fair body.

"Honestly…"

Athena looked at the clothes on her body, couldn't help giving Bulma a resentful glance, then crossed her arms and complained.

"I can do something like that myself! I can use spatial teleportation to change clothes!"

After saying this, she snapped her fingers. The next moment, her psychic powers activated, and her clothes quickly changed into another casual outfit, leaving Bulma momentarily stunned.

That was because Athena's method was similar to hers, but it was much more convenient.

Her bracelet needed to scan a person's physical data in advance to make changing clothes so convenient. But in Athena's case, she only needed to think about it.

"Psychic powers really are wonderful."

Bulma couldn't help sighing in admiration, but Athena shook her head.

"Actually, this move consumes a lot of stamina. For me, teleporting a set of clothes is practically no different from teleporting my entire body, so I usually don't do it. Besides, your invention is still very practical for other people, Bulma."

Athena pointed at the clothes she was wearing. She wasn't very proficient at using her psychic powers yet, so operations like this were extremely difficult for her. With this bracelet, however, she wouldn't need to use her psychic powers at all.

Nevertheless, Athena still took off the bracelet on her wrist and returned it to Bulma, because she really didn't need it. Bulma couldn't help but scratch her head.

"Well, actually, this thing won't work once it leaves this world. The spatial parameters of your world are really strange. It took me a long time to measure them and find a way to make it work… You know, theoretically speaking, according to the science of our world, people in your world shouldn't even be able to exist in human form. But after conducting some actual research, I discovered quite a few flaws in the science of my own world…"

Bulma couldn't help but complain about it. From her perspective, the spatial parameters and various numerical values of this world should have made it impossible for it to exist. However, after studying this world's physical constants, she discovered that everything in this world was perfectly reasonable. Although the physical constants were subtly different, they had somehow combined in equally subtle ways to produce exactly what she saw before her.

The world had even managed to ensure that people from her world would experience only a slight degree of discomfort after arriving here, without suffering any life-threatening consequences. At most, they would probably find themselves unable to use certain special abilities.

"If I weren't trying to get home, I would definitely want to thoroughly study the differences between the two worlds, because this is simply too important. Oh, right, Athena, would you like me to make you some battle suits? The kind that can work together with your psychic powers."

As she spoke, Bulma continued making various things at the workbench. Meanwhile, Athena's expression grew increasingly strange as she watched what Bulma was making.

That was because the things Bulma was making were simply a little too terrifying.

"Um, isn't that a bit too much?"

Looking at the things Bulma had drawn on the blueprint, Athena asked cautiously. But Bulma looked at her with a puzzled expression. From Bulma's perspective, after what they had experienced previously, there was no such thing as being too cautious, was there?

So, Bulma just chuckled and then explained the limitations of her invention.

"Otherwise, what if we encounter something like last time again? Don't worry, the things I make won't kill anyone…"

Hearing Bulma's words, Athena hesitated for a moment. She still hadn't forgotten what had happened last time and still couldn't bring herself to forget it, so she nodded as well.

"Y-yes, all right… That does make sense…"

"Exactly. As long as you don't use it during competitions or in your everyday life, it'll be fine. Come on, repeat after me: Transform!"

"Tr-Transform!"

And so, Athena began receiving help from Bulma's incredible technology.
