Sword Breaks, Potential Ignited

But this made sense.

Otherwise, after so many years, it was impossible for so many Supreme Kais to all be fools.

"Let's leave this place first," Son Gohan said, floating into the air.

"Yes, alright," the Supreme Kai replied, also taking flight.

Kibito followed closely behind.

The three of them flew high into the sky.

Driven by curiosity, Son Gohan condensed an energy blast and hurled it down toward the sealed site.

Before the Supreme Kai and Kibito could even react, the energy blast was deflected back with a flash, appearing incredibly bizarre.

"Ho, that's interesting," Son Gohan laughed, swatting the energy ball away.

The energy ball whistled off and exploded in the distance with a boom, sending a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

Supreme Kai: ...

Kibito: ...

The two of them thought in unison that Saiyans were truly terrifying agents of destruction.

It hadn't even been that long, and he was already looking to renovate the Sacred World of the Kai.

"Mr. Gohan, please try to take it easy; the Sacred Land can't handle such destruction," the Supreme Kai said, his heart aching.

"Haha, understood."

After the three of them flew to an open area, the Supreme Kai and Kibito were dying to know just how awesome the sword, touted as the strongest in the universe, really was.

At that moment, Son Gohan was swinging the long sword with such force that it whistled through the air, leaving the Supreme Kai and Kibito trembling with shock.

Because they had just witnessed the heaven-defying weight of the Z Sword.

Seeing Son Gohan wield the sword so effortlessly now, they couldn't help but exclaim internally that Saiyans were simply too monstrous.

After playing with the long sword for a while, Son Gohan suddenly felt bored.

With a boom, he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Then, he gripped the hilt with one hand and the blade with the other, twisting with all his might.

Watching him grit his teeth, the Supreme Kai asked curiously, "Mr. Gohan, what are you doing?"

Son Gohan stopped his movements and looked back, saying, "I want to see if I can snap it."

"Uh..."

Hearing his words, the Supreme Kai and Kibito were left stunned in the wind.

Indeed, their earlier assessment had been correct.

Saiyans were terrifying agents of destruction.

He had barely gotten his hands on the strongest sword in the universe, and he was already thinking about how to break it.

What a disaster.

"I don't believe this," Son Gohan muttered, clenching his fists as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.

Instantly, his aura soared into the sky, his golden hair stood on end with a single bang hanging over his forehead, and lightning crackled around his body with a sizzling sound.

His entire demeanor became instantly colder and more domineering, and his energy underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

The Supreme Kai and Kibito had intended to speak, but upon seeing Son Gohan's transformation, they gulped and swallowed their words back down.

Son Gohan picked up the Z Sword again, veins bulging on his hands, and twisted with all his strength.

With a loud "clang," the Supreme Kai and Kibito nearly jumped out of their skins.

"It broke, it actually broke?"

"Is he crazy?"

"How could the strongest Z Sword in the universe just break like this?"

"This, how is this possible? Isn't this the most powerful sword in the Sacred Realm?"

"Oh, heavens~"

The Supreme Kai and Kibito stared dumbfounded at the two broken pieces of the sword in Son Gohan's hands, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an entire egg.

"Oh, perfect," Son Gohan said happily, tossing the two broken pieces onto the ground.

"Lord Supreme Kai, the quality of this Z Sword really isn't that great; you were bragging that it was the strongest sword in the universe."

"No, I wasn't," the Supreme Kai stammered, his mind filled with the image of the broken sword.

Was it just the sword that broke? No, it was his faith.

At that moment, Son Gohan had already caught a glimpse of the Old Kai appearing behind the Supreme Kai and Kibito.

Son Gohan couldn't help but let a smirk tug at the corner of his mouth.

It has arrived; the legendary opportunity and cheat code have finally appeared right on schedule.

Old Kai spoke languidly, "That's not how it works~"

The voice was light and airy, as if a ghost were whispering.

Hearing a voice suddenly ring out behind them, Supreme Kai and Kibito felt a chill run down their spines; they let out a startled yelp and froze in place.

Supreme Kai and Kibito turned around and saw Old Kai, who looked like a skeleton.

Staring at the standard Supreme Kai attire worn by Old Kai, Supreme Kai and Kibito were filled with suspicion and unease.

Supreme Kai asked tentatively, "Old sir, who are you?"

Old Kai clapped his hands, stretched his body, and then wheezed, "Me? I am the Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago."

"Fif, fifteen generations ago?" Supreme Kai and Kibito were dumbfounded.

If one were to trace the time back to a Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago, it would be seventy or eighty million years.

What an incredibly distant history that was.

They had absolutely no knowledge of such things.

Moreover, where exactly this old man claiming to be a Supreme Kai from fifteen generations ago came from remained a mystery.

Old Kai continued:

"A long, long time ago, there was a very evil and powerful guy. He feared my abilities, so he sealed me inside that Z Sword..."

Supreme Kai asked, "An, Ancestor, was it Majin Buu?"

Old Kai recalled the past and continued, "It wasn't Majin Buu. It was an evil guy countless times more terrifying than Majin Buu..."

"There's actually a villain even more terrifying than Majin Buu? Then, then what happened after that, Ancestor?" Supreme Kai asked in astonishment.

Old Kai coughed and said, "After that, he sealed me in the sword, and I don't know what happened after that..."

After listening to the conversation between the two Supreme Kais, Kibito became excited:

"So that means the Ancestor is a very powerful Supreme Kai, and the villain feared you, which is why he sealed you away. Doesn't that mean the Ancestor is much stronger than Majin Buu?"

Old Kai put his hands behind his back, looking quite smug: "He wasn't afraid of my strength; he was afraid of my ability. I possess a truly terrifying ability."

"What is it? What is this terrifying ability?" Supreme Kai and Kibito's eyes sparkled; if their ancestor was powerful, they would share in the glory.

Old Kai snorted and looked at them with some annoyance: "Hmph, I won't tell you. You two really disappointed me; you couldn't save me even after I was sealed in that sword for over seventy million years."

"In the end, it was actually a human who let me out. It's simply outrageous."

Supreme Kai and Kibito stood at attention like well-behaved children, hanging their heads in shame.

The Ancestor was right; they were too useless to save him.

Old Kai tilted his head, looked at Son Gohan, who was watching the spectacle, and beckoned, "You're the one who let me out, right? Come here."

Son Gohan walked over with a smile and said, "It was me. I accidentally broke the sword..."

Was that really an accident?

Supreme Kai and Kibito glanced at him, then hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw Old Kai looking over.

Old Kai looked at Son Gohan and sighed: "Truly impressive. To think that after tens of millions of years, humans have actually become this strong. Not bad, really not bad."

Son Gohan asked, feigning ignorance: "Old sir, what was that terrifying ability you mentioned earlier?"

Old Kai said, "If those two unfilial descendants of mine asked, I wouldn't tell them, but since you are my savior, it wouldn't hurt to tell you."

"This terrifying ability of mine is that no matter how strong a person is, I can draw out their potential, allowing them to surpass their limits and become the most powerful warrior in the universe."

Son Gohan said, "Wow, can you help me draw out my potential? It sounds amazing, though I wonder if it's true."

Old Kai looked Son Gohan up and down, then said, "How could it be fake? You're actually doubting my ability? Hmph, fine. Since you saved me, I'll reluctantly help you out."

"Alright, stand right there and don't move."

"You two, get out of here immediately," he said, scolding Supreme Kai and Kibito.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Supreme Kai and Kibito slunk off to the side, whispering to each other.

Old Kai began to circle Son Gohan, performing a strange and bizarre ritual.
