Leisurely Time After the Battle

Everything fell silent!

In the sky, clouds drifted leisurely, a gentle breeze stirred, and warm sunlight cascaded down.

Everything had returned to its most beautiful state.

Son Gohan turned back to look at Trunks, Dende, and Mr. Popo, a wide smile spreading across his face.

Trunks and the others also recovered from their shock.

Son Gohan's figure flickered, and in the next instant, he was standing on the plaza of Kami's Lookout.

None of the three could even perceive how he had arrived.

His speed had reached a truly outrageous level.

Trunks trotted over, circling Son Gohan with excitement, and exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Big Brother Gohan, what an incredibly powerful ki! That was amazing—what is this transformation?"

Son Gohan replied, "This is a transformation that transcends the limits of a Super Saiyan. Let's call it Super Saiyan 2."

"So cool." Trunks' eyes sparkled; he wished more than anything that he could become that strong, too.

Big Brother Gohan had always been his idol, the very figure he had been chasing all this time.

"Hoo~" Son Gohan exhaled heavily, and the golden aura and lightning surrounding him vanished simultaneously.

Although he remained in the Super Saiyan 2 state, this form allowed him to minimize the consumption of his stamina and ki.

This was also the first time Son Gohan had transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.

Therefore, he wanted to maintain it for a while longer to carefully experience the changes within, so he could better guide Trunks toward the transformation in the future.

Just then, the voice of North King Kai echoed above Kami's Lookout.

"Incredible, truly incredible, Son Gohan."

"I never expected that even Bojack would be no match for you. You are truly a remarkable warrior."

"Perhaps you have already surpassed Goku by now."

"Son Gohan, I thank you on behalf of the other Kais. You have been a tremendous help; you have performed a deed of immeasurable merit..."

"The Four Galaxies will all be grateful to you."

Son Gohan laughed. "Lord King Kai, after saying all that, it would actually be better to offer some tangible rewards."

"I do not encourage this kind of behavior from you."

"Uh, fair enough. Then what is it that you want?" North King Kai asked.

Son Gohan looked at Trunks and said, "Trunks, is there anything you want?"

"Me? I want a sword," Trunks said.

He thought the way Gokua carried that long sword looked incredibly cool.

Even though it had been smashed to pieces later, it couldn't dampen his inner longing to be a swordsman.

"Alright," Son Gohan said. "Lord King Kai, you heard that, right? Trunks wants a sword."

North King Kai replied, "A sword? No problem. Although I don't have one here, I know where to find one. I can go to Grand Kai's place and get a fine sword for you two."

"Fine, then thank you," Son Gohan said.

"As for me, I want to ask what kind of good things you have to offer first, Lord King Kai. I need to pick and choose..."

"Pick?"

"Hey, what? Ah, sorry, sorry, Son Gohan, let's leave it at that for now. I have things to attend to, goodbye for now." North King Kai sounded flustered and promptly cut the connection.

On the other side, North King Kai took out a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then drove his red sedan around King Kai's Planet, cruising leisurely in circles.

Busy? He wasn't busy at all.

Son Gohan didn't mind; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

However, there was still one problem: once North King Kai found the sword, how would he get it into his hands?

Regardless, the crisis involving Bojack had finally been resolved.

This incident of Bojack's invasion ended with Earth remaining almost completely unscathed.

On Kami's Lookout, Son Gohan maintained the Super Saiyan 2 form for half an hour before reverting to his normal state.

Afterward, he shared some of his feelings and insights regarding the Super Saiyan 2 transformation with Trunks.

Trunks benefited immensely from this.

Through this battle with Bojack, Son Gohan also gained a preliminary understanding of the benefits of his Immortal Body.

That was the super-benefit that came with the Immortal Body: super self-healing and super recovery abilities.

The only thing Son Gohan could think of that reached such an abnormal level was Majin Buu.

Although Namekians also possessed self-healing abilities, they still paled in comparison.

Thinking of the half-year remaining in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Son Gohan decided to simply dive back in to make full use of the time.

Six months was enough for him to consolidate and strengthen his Super Saiyan 2 form.

Not only that, but he had also conceived several ways to push his Immortal Body to the limit.

For instance, combining the Immortal Body with the Saiyan ability to recover from the brink of death—using both methods in tandem would be absolutely absurd, a defiance of nature upon a defiance of nature.

Trunks naturally didn't fall behind, entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber right along with Son Gohan.

The two of them learned from each other inside, training with unremitting perseverance.

Just like that, another six months passed within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

When the time was up, Son Gohan and Trunks exited the Hyperbolic Time Chamber right on the dot.

It is worth mentioning that Trunks's tail had grown back during these six months.

Wagging his brand-new tail, Trunks was incredibly happy, declaring that he would bring Dende lots of delicious food.

Son Gohan told him that Namekians don't need to eat; they can live just by drinking water and photosynthesizing.

Trunks was shocked for a long, long time after hearing this.

He couldn't fathom how any sentient being could dislike eating.

Eating was clearly the most joyful thing in the world.

Sigh, he couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out at all, and couldn't see through it either.

After coming out, the two discovered it was already the middle of the night.

Their clothes were tattered, and their hair had grown quite long, each of them having tied it back into a simple ponytail.

After greeting Dende and Mr. Popo, the two leaped off Kami's Lookout and flew directly toward West City.

When they arrived home, they found Bulma already asleep on the living room sofa.

Trunks found a blanket and covered Bulma with it.

Afterward, the two took hot showers, then returned to their bedrooms and collapsed into a deep sleep.

The next day, The brothers were awakened by the aroma of food.

They woke up sniffing the air frantically, only to discover that Bulma had already prepared a table full of delicacies in the living room, waiting for them.

"Wow!"

"Food! Meat!"

Stars appeared in their eyes as they swallowed their saliva wildly, rushed to wash up, and then sat down at the table.

They had spent over half a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, accompanied only by flour cakes, and hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.

So, seeing the food now, the gluttons in their stomachs were stirring, ready to do battle.

"Thanks, Mom," Trunks said, swallowing hard.

"Hehe, Aunt Bulma is the best," Son Gohan also laughed.

"You two, stop with the flattery and hurry up and eat," Bulma laughed.

Looking at Son Gohan and Trunks, and thinking back to the anomalies on Earth yesterday, Bulma guessed that something had happened.

Also, how had it only been a few days, and Trunks had already grown a furry tail?

Bulma kept guessing in her heart, while at the same time, many questions arose.

"Then, I'll dig in," Son Gohan said, pressing his palms together.

"Digging in, digging in," Trunks did the same, pressing his palms together to thank nature for its bounty.

The two gorged themselves, sweeping the food off the table like a whirlwind.

Bulma only ate a little; the rest of the food all went into the stomachs of Son Gohan and Trunks.

One could only say that as expected of Saiyans, they both had black holes in their stomachs.

After the meal, Son Gohan took the initiative to talk about Bojack.

Bulma listened as if she were there herself, her heart pounding with fear, breaking into a cold sweat for Son Gohan and Trunks.
