>>5961924Of course, it was an earthling trait as a whole rather than simply human-type earthlings, but they were the strongest who embodied those innate qualities. Hysterical strength was truly frightening. What you say was another venue of that, but it was far different from the High-Tension technique that Paopao and Mark showed. Granted Paopao's was magic-based, while Mark's was ki-based, but there are linking elements between the facsimiles. What you saw was different, what you saw was the birth of a brand-new natural state, a strong foundation for Bulma to now work off on. That was the real reason why you were having such trouble believing what you saw.
Then again, it wasn't solely through her efforts that she managed to pull off this miraculous turn of events. As far as you were concerned, Bulma owed everything to Chi-Chi considering she would've been fully brainwashed by that dark energy. After all, it was Chi-Chi who underwent the demonic transformation, twice even according to Pilaf. You didn't want to imagine what sort of hellish ordeal the princess was undergoing. You were completely fortunate with your aura hermetically sealed off, so you weren't at any risk of infection. Chi-Chi was already infected so, she was out of the running as far as you can tell. Both Mai and Piliaf are naturally immune as Maozoku members. So, why is Bulma currently okay?
Again, the first dosage resulted in Chi-Chi taking the hit to keep her from transforming. So the second exposure should've got her in, but it didn't. So by that logic, she must have lucked out and made some sort of mystic antibodies to counteract the blackened Aqua Mist. Allowing her to avoid regressing into a mindless, rampaging demoness but mutating her nonetheless. Her ki still felt like that of an earthling, you were sure of that, but even so, it was heterogeneous in comparison to before. An aberration is born from this epigenetic phenomenon, thus resulting in otherworldly genetic recombinations. It felt closer to that Mai woman than either Piliaf or Guruma, she felt more magical than either of them, to say the least. A majin or magical person.
Mulling it over for a moment, you turned to Chi-Chi was still intoxicated by the rush of power. Everything that Bulma has displayed, you can tell it's intensified even further with Chi-Chi. Makes sense considering she went through the demonic transformation and took the full brunt of the double dosage. It would be a miracle if she displayed any shred of her old self in this demonic virago. If Bulma was on the magic side, then Chi-Chi must have been a Majin or Demonic Person of the aptly named Mazoku. Even so, you couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps it's not too late for Chi-Chi. She wasn't radiating the stench of evil that Guruma or her minions carried. So maybe, you could reach out to her.
"Chi-Chi. You're still in there, aren't you? You're far too stubborn to let this beat you." You cried out to Chi-Chi.
