Chapter 910: The calm before the storm
“Huh? Even Goten has a girlfriend already?” Upon hearing that Goten’s girlfriend would be visiting in two days, Krillin was taken aback and couldn’t help but sigh at how time flies. In the blink of an eye, they were already in their fifties.
Goku laughed heartily and gulped a mouthful of water. “It’s a pity that Goten isn’t like Gohan and the others who enjoy training. His mind is always distracted, and he can’t calm down at all.”
“You can’t force him, either. Goten’s strength is already pretty good on Earth, but it’s a shame he found a girlfriend so early. Otherwise, when Marron had grown up a bit more, we might have even become in-laws,” Krillin chuckled. His daughter Marron was two years younger than Goten and will soon become an adult.
“That’s too bad. How about Trunks, he is now already helping Tights with company paperwork,” Goku said as he leaned over and whispered to Krillin.
“Forget it, I can’t stand that grumpy Vegeta,” Krillin shook his head. Among the younger generation, Marron’s martial arts skills were not that great, so if she were to marry in the future, she might only find an ordinary martial artist. Saiyan families were just too much to handle.
“By the way, you know Android 17, right? I heard he has moved to Planet Hongshan.”
“Why?” Krillin was surprised. Android 17 and 16 had been managing a ranch just fine, so why did he suddenly move to Planet Hongshan?
“It seems to be because of Android 21. They both seem to have gotten married. I’m not sure of the details though,” Goku laughed. He often travels between Earth and Planet Hongshan, and once saw Android 17 and the brown-haired female scientist shopping together on Planet Hongshan.
“Oh,” Krillin nodded in surprise but didn’t ask any more questions.
To be honest, they weren’t that close with Android 17 and the others, and were just casually gossiping.
After resting for a few minutes, Goku tossed the damp towel on the ground and said to Krillin, “Come on, we haven’t sparred in a while. Want to practice with me?”
Hearing that, Krillin shook his head repeatedly, “No, no, I am not fighting you. The disparity between us is too big, it wouldn’t be fun to fight. You should go look for Vegeta instead.”
“Okay then,” With his strength constantly improving, his former fellow apprentices couldn’t keep up with him anymore. On Earth, only a few people like Vegeta and Gohan could still fight him.
Goku shook his head regretfully and started to practice alone in the field. Suddenly, his eyes twitched as he sensed a powerful aura approaching them. He looked up in a certain direction and saw a golden beam of light flying towards them along a straight path like an arrow piercing through the sky. A black figure descended from the sky and appeared in front of him in the next second.
“Hey, Vegeta, what brings you here?” Goku raised his hand to greet Vegeta.
The figure who arrived at Mount Paozu turned out to be Vegeta. Normally, Vegeta rarely visited Mount Paozu. At this moment, he was wearing a gray-black training suit and holding a basket filled with candies which was tied with red ribbon, looking very festive.
“What is this?” Goku pointed to the basket in Vegeta’s hand.
“Candies. Tights asked me to deliver them to you guys. Krillin also received it, which has been delivered to his home,” Vegeta said, feeling awkward. As a former Saiyan prince, it was quite beneath him to be delivering candy.
“Oh, has anything good happened in your family?”
“Well, Tights is pregnant. Trunks will soon have a little brother or sister,” Vegeta said, his face showing a hint of joy.
Don’t be fooled by Vegeta and Tights’ age, as their physical age is still very young, thanks to the effects of the Tree of Might’s fruit they consumed in the past, as well as the miraculous abilities of the Dragon b.a.l.l.s. This story dates back several years ago when Tights accidently discovered a wrinkle in the corner of her eye while looking in the mirror. Being a beauty-conscious person, she immediately asked Vegeta to climb up to Lookout and make a wish using the Dragon b.a.l.l.s kept there.
Ever since then, Tights and her sister Bulma have remained quite young.
“Tights is pregnant?!” Goku was surprised. He didn’t expect Vegeta and Tights to have a child at their age. Taking the basket of candy from Vegeta, Goku said, “You came at the right time. I’ve had some new insights recently. Let’s spar.”
Looking at Goku’s excited expression, Vegeta shook his head and declined. “Sorry, I still have things to do. I don’t have time to spar with you. If you want to fight, go find Gohan or go to the G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet and look for Whis and others. They are more suitable.”
With his second child due to be born in a few months, Vegeta needed to hurry back to take care of Tights and also choose an impressive name for his child. He didn’t have the time to spar with Goku.
Then, without saying another word, Vegeta shot up into the sky before turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
As Goku watched Vegeta disappear into the sky, he crossed his arms and muttered to himself, “That guy Vegeta used to have a different personality. Who would have thought he would actually refuse to spar with me on his own initiative.”
“That’s because he’s already defeated you. There’s no sense of accomplishment in challenging you now,” Krillin chuckled.
“How is that possible? I’ve also gotten stronger. Vegeta is definitely not my match now.”
Goku raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn’t just ignore what Krillin had said, even though he had indeed been defeated by Vegeta before, but that was many years ago. Now, he has comprehended Ultra Instinct and his strength has greatly improved. Surely, Vegeta was no longer his match.
Thinking about what Vegeta had mentioned earlier regarding the G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet, Goku suddenly became interested. He clenched his fists and tapped them together, really considering making a trip to the G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet.
“Yeah, I can go look for Beerus-sama and Champa. They’ll definitely give me a good fight. Hmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Bulla too. This is a good opportunity to go see her.”
As soon as this thought arose, it was like countless ants were crawling slowly in his heart.
“Krillin, go tell Bulma that I’m going to the G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet to look for Beerus-sama. I won’t be back for a few days.”
After saying that, Goku put his fingers on his forehead and directly used Instant Transmission to disappear from Earth.
“Hey, hey…”
Watching Goku leave so suddenly, Krillin yelled out a few times in anger, “Goku, you can’t just leave like that! How am I supposed to explain this to Bulma?!”
Bulma is normally gentle, but once she gets angry, she can be extremely terrifying.
…
Meanwhile, Universe 5.
G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet.
Since merging with the former Universe 6, the overall strength of Universe 5 had begun to increase, and the G.o.d of Destruction’s Planet was running smoothly under the management of the two Angels.
On this day, the breeze was cool and the suns.h.i.+ne was brilliant.
On the vast plains, two faint golden lights kept flas.h.i.+ng around.
Each time those two lights flashed, they were accompanied by a deafening rumble that caused the world to shake. Suddenly, an afterimage flashed, causing the ground beneath to collapse and thousands of sharp wind blades to blast in all directions, sending a golden figure flying.
In an instant, Bulla’s Ki surged, and her whole body was s.h.i.+ning with dazzling lightning.
Opposite her, a slightly young girl showed a fierce expression, her protruding teeths glistening. Suddenly, she disappeared and reappeared next to Bulla, and the two of them fiercely fought, refusing to give an inch.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bulla collided with the girl on the opposite side, and her golden ponytail swayed. The two of them fought from the sky to the ground, as if fireworks were exploding in the sky, leaving behind a series of intense sparks.
“Sister, those two little ones are getting more and more outstanding. Who do you think is suitable to become the future G.o.d of Destruction?”
Whis stood next to Vados, calmly watching the two people fighting in the sky.
Vados held a scepter with a calm expression on her face, and there was always a hint of a smile on her serene countenance.
“Bulla has made great progress, but lacks endurance. Angeline, on the other hand, has great endurance but she is p.r.o.ne to losing control. It’s premature to choose who will become the future G.o.d of Destruction.”
“You’re right. But more important than endurance is comprehension power and potential, which are sometimes hard to discern from outward appearances.”
Whis was very optimistic about both of them, and didn’t think there was much of a difference between them. It’s like Goku, whose talent wasn’t great, but he could create miracles time and time again, which was the effect of comprehension power.
“Let them keep honing their skills. I also don’t think Beerus-sama wants to retire so soon, don’t you think?”
Speaking this, Vados covered her mouth and chuckled.
In Vados’ eyes, whether it was Bulla or Angeline, they were both outstanding. But to become the G.o.d of Destruction, one needs to hone themselves through years long training.
