Failed Product of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

Inside Bulma Manor

In a circular Gravity Chamber, Sun Wukong concentrated his mind!

"Kame...hame...ha!"

A thick blue beam of light shot from his hands, circling the pillar controlling gravity in the center of the chamber before attacking himself!

He crouched slightly, arms crossed, his entire body tensed!

BOOM!!!!

After the light faded, Sun Wukong collapsed weakly on the ground!

"So good, so good," Sun Wukong felt a sense of satisfaction despite his weakened body!

He could clearly sense the changes in his body over the past nine days.

His combat power had increased several times over!

If a scouter were to measure his combat power now, it would show his normal state combat power reaching around 100,000!

Since he hadn't brought any Senzu Beans from Korin Tower this time, he had to rely on his body's self-healing after each training injury, which wasted a lot of time!

Otherwise, he would probably be even stronger!

And there was another benefit to self-healing: he could clearly perceive which aspects of his body were lacking!

Sun Wukong also trained to address these deficiencies!

For example, his lower body. After his tail was cut off, his balance had a slight flaw, making his lower body unstable!

This time, he also trained to fix this deficiency!

Although it wasn't as good as when he had his tail, it was much better than when he started, and his lower body was exceptionally stable!

Son Gohan's side! Nine days ago!!

After Piccolo left Kami's Lookout, he didn't leave but turned to look at Mr. Popo!

"Mr. Popo, my combat power has increased too quickly, leading to insufficient combat experience. My dad and the others are too far behind me, so could I ask you to be my sparring partner?" Son Gohan looked at Mr. Popo nervously.

From what Mr. Popo had said to Piccolo earlier, even when he spoke the name "Dragon God Zalama," there was no hint of reverence!

It was as if he were talking about an insignificant being!

Kami and Piccolo couldn't tell because they didn't understand Zalama's power, but Son Gohan knew very well what kind of existence Dragon God Zalama was – someone who could stand on equal footing with Zeno!

He couldn't detect any reverence from Mr. Popo's words, which showed how terrifying Mr. Popo was!

As soon as he transmigrated, he carefully recalled the history of Dragon Ball!

The more he remembered, the more he realized Mr. Popo was not simple!

Mr. Popo had existed since the previous Kami, and the current Kami had been in office for hundreds of years.

The Namekian Great Disaster occurred around Age 260, and it was now Age 760, a full 500 years later!!

Kami was still old and had little lifespan left!

But Mr. Popo hadn't changed at all!

Moreover, in the original story during the Majin Buu saga, Mr. Popo could actually fight against two Super Saiyans, Son Goten and Trunks!

Although their Super Saiyan combat power wasn't strong, they were still Super Saiyans!

A lifespan with no discernible limit, a perpetually expressionless face, and an unfathomable combat power!!

And the ability to create clay puppets. When Sun Wukong was a child, he was tormented by a puppet made by Mr. Popo!

Coupled with Dragon Ball Super, Whis once said that Sun Wukong had a trace of Ultra Instinct's essence!

Ultra Instinct was a skill that even Gods of Destruction found difficult to learn!

Why would Sun Wukong have a trace of Ultra Instinct's essence!

Son Gohan traced back his memories and found that when Sun Wukong was training at Kami's Lookout as a child, Mr. Popo had personally created a puppet identical to him!

Recalling the battle details, he found that the puppet had a trace of autonomous body reaction!

Autonomous body reaction, dodging attacks!!! Wasn't this the precursor to Ultra Instinct!

Mr. Popo could casually create such a terrifying puppet...

Son Gohan dared not think further; the more he thought, the more he felt Mr. Popo was unfathomable!

Beneath that indifferent and emotionless face, what kind of terrifying existence was hidden!

"Mr. Popo, for my sake, please help him. My lifespan is running out, and the future of Earth depends on them!" Kami slowly stepped forward, pleading for Son Gohan.

"Alright! Kami!" Mr. Popo nodded.

For Kami, with whom he had spent hundreds of years, a hint of tenderness flashed in Mr. Popo's usually placid eyes!

Yes, tenderness!!!

Son Gohan suspected even more that he had misread it!!!

It was bizarre, truly bizarre!

"Gohan, thank Mr. Popo!" Kami reminded him.

"Thank you, Mr. Popo!!" Son Gohan expressed his gratitude.

"Follow me!!" Mr. Popo led the way towards a Mysterious Room.

Son Gohan followed closely behind!

Creak!!

It was as if the door to this room hadn't been opened in a long time!! Mr. Popo opened the door and walked straight in!

Son Gohan also walked in!

As soon as he entered, Son Gohan was stunned!!

"This is?? The Hyperbolic Time Chamber?? No, it doesn't have that oppressive feeling, and the oxygen is also very abundant!!"

What met his eyes was a vast, boundless white space!

"This is a Failed Product, an Experiment for the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Although it failed, I still kept it. The time flow and air in this room are the same as the outside, only the space is a bit larger! There's no day or night; it's always like this!" Mr. Popo said calmly.

"Excuse my presumption!! Did you create the Hyperbolic Time Chamber??" Son Gohan couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"You know it's presumptuous yet you still ask. Never mind, it's not important. I'll tell you. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber was created by the Kami before the Kami before the Kami before the Kami... I guided him. Although I didn't do it myself, it's pretty much the same!" Mr. Popo mechanically strung together "before" for a long time, and Son Gohan couldn't count how many "befores" there were.

"Mr. Popo?? Earth's civilization doesn't even have a history that long, does it?" Son Gohan's eyes widened, unable to believe what Mr. Popo said.

After all, even Kami had been in office for 500 years. According to Mr. Popo, the history of Earth Intelligent Life might be millions of years old!

"Civilizations will be destroyed and reborn. I can't even count how many civilizations this current one is on Earth." "Alright, enough nonsense. Are you going to train or not!" Mr. Popo said more words today than in a year! He was a little annoyed!

"Train, train, I won't say anything else. Can I start then?? Mr. Popo?" Son Gohan assumed a fighting stance.

"Hmm, attack me with all your might! Let me see your foundation. I'm too lazy to be your sparring partner. I'll make you a Puppet later, and you can fight against it. Come on, show me your full power!"

Mr. Popo had one hand behind his back and raised the other, gesturing for Son Gohan to attack.

"Okay, then I won't hold back!! Hya!!!!"

Son Gohan unleashed all his energy and transformed into a Super Saiyan!

"A Super Saiyan? It's been over a thousand years since I've seen one!" Mr. Popo muttered to himself.

Son Gohan didn't hear Mr. Popo's muttering!

"Here I come, Mr. Popo!!"

After transforming, Son Gohan charged directly at Mr. Popo!!

Boom, clang!!!

He lifted his leg, floated, and slid forward at extreme speed, thrusting his right elbow forward, supporting his right hand with his left and adding force, launching a full-power strike towards Mr. Popo's chest!

But Mr. Popo seemed to have seen through his movements and raised his hand in advance, blocking in front of his chest!

This strike seemed to be aimed directly at Mr. Popo's blocking palm, as if Son Gohan had locked onto it!

The moment they made contact, Son Gohan felt like he had hit a piece of indestructible Thunder Steel!!

The powerful recoil made his entire arm go numb!

Son Gohan became even more certain that Mr. Popo knew the Instant Transmission technique!!

Dada dada dada!!!

Son Gohan attacked rapidly, but every strike failed to have any effect on Mr. Popo. Mr. Popo's feet hadn't even moved an inch!

Each time, his attack was either blocked in advance or its flaws were seen, and Mr. Popo attacked preemptively to counter it!
