Terrifying Power
In the World of the Kais, on a lush, green open space, the Old Supreme Kai, who had just finished performing a shamanic dance, sat opposite Vegapunk, stretching out his hands as if to impart his power. However, no matter how he looked at it, the young East Supreme Kai couldn't see any effect.
Sitting next to the East Supreme Kai, Kibito, whose eye was swollen and bruised, whispered to the East Supreme Kai:
"Does this really work? Supreme Kai, why do I feel like this Old Supreme Kai is just dozing off?"
The actions of the Old Supreme Kai are a bit too simple and unadorned. There are no special effects or crisp movements, and they are instead somewhat comical.
Most importantly, there was no sign of a sudden surge in Vegapunk's aura as he sat in the center. In the perception of the East Supreme Kai and Kibito, his aura remained as calm and stable as ever.
"Don't talk nonsense. That's Supreme Kai from 15 generations ago. How could he possibly be sleeping... sleeping... uh..."
Just as the East Supreme Kai was refuting Kibito, a faint snoring sound came from the room. Although the Old Supreme Kai's hands were still outstretched forward, his head was lowered, and he not only started snoring but also produced a huge snot bubble.
So she really is sleeping!
The East Supreme Kai stared in disbelief at his old senior, then shrank back and looked at Vegapunk, fearing that the guy might chop off the Old Supreme Kai's head in a fit of rage.
However, Vegapunk did not take any action. He knew very well that the Old Supreme Kai's potential development ritual was actually like this. The person whose potential was developed did not feel a significant increase in power. It could be said that combat power and control were improved simultaneously.
Similarly, as long as the Old Supreme Kai maintains the correct posture, whether he's snoring and sleeping or reading adult magazines, it won't interfere with the development of his power.
Several hours passed quickly. Under the anxious gazes of East Supreme Kai and Kibito, Old Supreme Kai finally yawned, stretched, and woke up.
"Has the potential been fully realized?"
Vegapunk remained calm as he looked at the Old Supreme Kai and spoke. A glint of light flashed in the Old Supreme Kai's dim old eyes, and he nodded.
"I really didn't expect young people these days to be so patient. I thought you'd get angry halfway through development!"
Vegapunk smiled:
"Why should I be angry? Anyway, no one here can beat me. If you dare to fool me, guess who will be the one who suffers in the end?"
"What an unlovable young man, he even bullies an old senior like me."
Old Supreme Kai pursed his lips, seemingly still quite upset that his prank had failed.
Although this Old Supreme Kai behaves quite comically and even enjoys reading women's magazines in the original work, he is clearly reliable when it comes to important matters. The reason he fell asleep during the potential-developing ceremony was simply due to his personal quirky taste.
"Huh!? Is it already over? Um... Mr. Vegapunk, your potential has been unlocked?"
The East Supreme Kai stared wide-eyed, looking completely bewildered. Vegapunk nodded slightly and clenched his fist.
Although he didn't experience the overwhelming feeling of being able to shatter the heavens and earth with a single punch, as he usually does after a sudden surge in strength, Vegapunk's Quantum Chip in his brain still calculated the increase in the energy within his body.
The combat power units that should have been measured in hundreds of millions within his body have now expanded to be measured in trillions!
Three trillion, or three trillion seven hundred billion power, is the strongest Vegapunk power in the Dragon Ball series, second only to Vegito, the fusion of Son Goku and Vegeta.
Of course, after Dragon Ball Super came out, this level of fighting power was no longer the strongest. Golden Frieza, Ultra Instinct, Lord Beerus —there were quite a few abnormally strong individuals in Seventh Universe alone.
However, considering the current timeline of Dragon Ball, which is even before Frieza's appearance, Vegapunk is currently far ahead of the competition. Apart from the God of Destruction, there are almost no other strongmen who can compare with him.
"Um... can I see how strong you are now?"
The East Supreme Kai looked at Vegapunk and said something somewhat apologetically.
Vegapunk tilted his head, looking at the East Supreme Kai with a strange expression:
"Are you planning to let me demonstrate my fighting prowess here?"
"Idiot! If we let him unleash his full power here, the entire World of the Kais will suffer massive destruction!"
Old Supreme Kai smacked East Supreme Kai on the head and spoke.
"The World of the Kais is extremely solid. Even its soil is much harder than the steel of the lower realm. Destroying the World of the Kais should be impossible for ignorant people from the lower realm."
Kibito, head held high and chest puffed out, spoke with an arrogant air, but before he could finish, Old Supreme Kai had already punched him on the head:
"I am the Supreme Kai, do you think I don't know what the World of the Kais is like?"
"You're the one who's truly ignorant! To some monsters, destroying the World of the Kais is no different than smashing a few planks of wood!"
"If it weren't for the special status of the World of the Kais... that guy would have blown it to World of the Kais long ago!"
Old Supreme Kai had a grim expression on his face. As for the guy he was talking about, Vegapunk didn't need to guess to know that it was Beerus.
In the various universes where Dragon Ball exists, the God of Destruction, who controls destruction, and the Supreme Kai, who controls creation, almost never have a good relationship. Among them, the Supreme Kai harbors the most resentment towards the God of Destruction.
After all, the God of Destruction are a group of powerful individuals who like to cause trouble, so the Supreme Kai is naturally at a disadvantage when dealing with them.
Of course, ultimately, it was the result of the unequal strength between the two sides. Although the Supreme Kai possessed all sorts of amazing abilities, in terms of combat power, any God of Destruction could easily defeat them with one hand.
In a universe like the Dragon Clan, where combat power is highly valued, the God of Destruction certainly wouldn't take the Supreme Kai too seriously. If it weren't for the fact that their lives were intertwined, the God of God of Destruction would probably have already killed the Supreme Kai.
In Seventh Universe, the relationship between the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai is even worse. This is because there are five Supreme Kai in this world. In other words, unless all five Supreme Kai die, the God of Destruction will not be in any danger. Under these circumstances, Beerus, the God of Destruction, naturally takes the Supreme Kai even less seriously.
Ultimately, it's because the Grand Zeno, the creator of the universe, still has the mentality of a child and is not a good leader at all. This has led to the current situation where the Gods of God of Destruction are able to bully the Supreme Kai with impunity. If the Grand Zeno were even slightly more reliable, these willful God of Destruction would probably be in big trouble by now.
After hearing Old Supreme Kai's words, East Supreme Kai and Kibito exchanged a glance, their faces showing a hint of fear. Even a solid planet like the World of the Kais could hardly withstand it, so the two of them couldn't even imagine how powerful that force was.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Even if something happens to the World of the Kais, we can just go to the Dragon Ball to restore it."
Vegapunk waved his hand dismissively, saying that in reality, there were no intelligent life forms in the World of the Kais, and even if it were truly destroyed, it could be easily restored using Earth's Dragon Ball.
Even restoring a planet's distortion of rules is probably not as effective as resurrecting a few humans with distortions. After all, a planet is just an inanimate object. Even Supreme Kai's planet is only much larger in mass and density than an ordinary planet.
"Dragon Ball? That's a good idea..."
The East Supreme Kai's eyes darted around, but before he could finish speaking, the Old Supreme Kai waved his hand:
"No need for that trouble. The World of the Kais has its own special Training Ground! You can go there to train and see how strong you are!"
As he spoke, the Old Supreme Kai waved his hand, and a void gate quickly appeared around him. Once the gate opened, a vast white world was revealed inside.
"This space was created by the Supreme Kai specifically for cultivation, and it is occasionally used by the Kai and other Deity on various planets..."
"However, because the warriors in the lower realm are generally weaker, the space allocated to the Deity in the lower realm is only ten times the gravity."
"The training space in the World of the Kais has a gravity of 300 times and a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, making it an extremely effective training space!"
Vegapunk was taken aback. A training space? Could it be the legendary Time Chamber or Mental Chamber?
To be honest, if the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was created by the Supreme Kai, it does resolve a question that Vegapunk had in mind:
Those are the Kami on Earth. What virtue or ability do they possess to create such a heaven-defying thing?
Looking back now, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber created by the Kami on Earth was actually just a portal connecting the world of the World of the Kais. The ones who truly opened up this space were the Supreme Kai were skilled in creation.
Although the training space with 300 times gravity was meaningless to Vegapunk, and a day outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was equivalent to a year inside, Vegapunk didn't really need it—he wasn't someone who pursued self-training at all.
However, such high gravity also meant that the interior of the Hyperbolic Time Space should be very solid. Vegapunk walked in without hesitation. He saw that the entire space was gray and white, and the extremely high gravity made the environment here extremely harsh.
At the same time, East Supreme Kai and Kibito walked through the door opened by Old Supreme Kai with expressions of curiosity. East Supreme Kai even touched the door with great interest.
"I never imagined there was such a mysterious place in the World of the Kais. It's truly an eye-opener!"
Old Supreme Kai twitched, glancing at East Supreme Kai:
"Didn't your predecessors tell you the location of the Hyperbolic Time Space? By the way, how exactly did you become Supreme Kai?"
The East Supreme Kai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm so sorry, senior. I had only been promoted from Candidate Supreme Kai to full-fledged Supreme Kai for less than a year when the Majin Buu broke out. All the other Supreme Kai seniors were devoured by Majin Buu, leaving me as the only survivor..."
"No wonder... you look weak and stupid, like a complete noob."
Old Supreme Kai rolled his eyes and spoke directly. Upon hearing this, East Supreme Kai looked utterly devastated, his entire body turning ashen.
"Weak and stupid... I'm a noob..."
Boom! A terrifying aura erupted instantly, causing the entire gray-white space of time and spirit to shake violently.
The East Supreme Kai, who had been wallowing in self-pity, suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth wide:
"Wow, that's incredible! Absolutely unbelievable! What terrifying power! Even more terrifying than Majin Buu!"
The powerful energy transformed into dazzling golden light, bursting forth from Vegapunk's body and ultimately forming a towering pillar of light. The sky, which had been shimmering with a faint white light, began to spin like Uzumaki under the stimulation of this terrifying energy.
Click-clack-clack-clack~~~
Under the pressure of 300 times gravity, the ground of the Hyperbolic Time Space, whose strength far exceeded that of steel and was unimaginably hard, could not withstand Vegapunk's outburst and emitted a painful cry as cracks rapidly spread.
Before long, these cracks formed a spiderweb shape, spanning hundreds of meters. The entire ground sank in a large circle.
A moment later, Vegapunk, who was slightly excited, finally controlled his burst of energy. The earth-shattering phenomenon subsided, and the golden pillar of light completely disappeared, revealing Vegapunk's figure.
"It's a very nice place, the only problem is that the spacetime here is a bit weak."
Vegapunk spoke calmly, then extended a hand. The light in his hand quickly condensed into an energy ball, which he casually pushed, transforming into a beam of light that shot into the distance.
As a dazzling light flashed, the entire horizon was finally filled with light. The terrifying energy surge nearly knocked the three East Supreme Kai off their feet, followed by a deafening explosion.
Several minutes passed before the aftershocks of Vegapunk's energy ball bombardment slowly subsided. However, when the East Supreme Kai and the other two raised their eyes and looked into the distance, they were all utterly shocked, their mouths agape.
The other half of the entire Hyperbolic Time Space has been blasted into fragments, the earth has been completely evaporated, and the original horizon has been turned into a cliff.
Of course, this is not the most terrifying place. The most terrifying thing is that the entire space is filled with spatial cracks of varying lengths, thicknesses, and widths. Through those cracks, one can even see what the outer World of the Kais looks like.
"Space... has shattered!"
"Are you kidding me? This can't be real, right?! It actually shattered space!"
The East Supreme Kai and Kibito looked shocked, while the Old Supreme Kai, though also quite surprised, calmed down after taking a couple of breaths.
"Vegapunk... would you be willing to compete for the God of Destruction? I think with your current strength, you might actually have a good chance!"
