New Mission, Heading to the Future

The Lookout.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the collision of air currents and the clash of fists and feet left the already thin oxygen supply nearly depleted!

Vegeta and Trunks were breathing heavily, their clothes soaked through with hot sweat.

Both were in their base forms; neither had transformed into a Super Saiyan. They had been training for half a year. Trunks had raised his power level from a few million to twenty million, and his Super Saiyan transformation now reached about one billion, yet there was still a gap. The androids of the future were between 1.5 and 1.6 billion in strength, with Android 17 being slightly stronger and 18 slightly weaker.

Vegeta, however, had a base power level of 150 million and hadn't seen much improvement; after all, sparring with a Trunks who only had a few million in power didn't allow him to tap into his full potential. The attacks were simply too weak! Still, Vegeta hadn't been idle; during the freezing nights, he trained alone to master his muscle form. He had now perfectly mastered the Super Saiyan 1 Grade 2.

Personal Interface

Name: Vegeta

Race: Saiyan

Power Level: 160 million

Skills: Artificial Moon, Great Bombardment Attack...

Special Combat Technique: Killing Intent Fist (Level 2: 10x multiplier to original combat power)

Mastery: Super Saiyan 1 Grade 2 (SR-Cells increased to 50%)

Vegeta looked at the information in confusion and said, "System, why have my SR-Cells increased again? Weren't they at 35% just a while ago? How did they go up? You haven't rewarded me with any boosters lately!"

Ding. The system's signature sound played.

"Host, transforming from base form to Super Saiyan is a major hurdle, one that all Saiyans face. However, once you break through, subsequent forms can be mastered through training! By developing your S-Cells to 100%, you have broken the genetic seal of the former Grand Priest. From here on, you can master later transformations through your own training! It won't be like the beginning, where you must rely on extreme rage to improve! But your base power level determines everything. I hope the host does not seek shortcuts!"

"I see. In that case, System, doesn't that mean you're not very useful anymore? I'll get stronger just by training on my own, so what do I need you for?" Vegeta sneered.

"The system can help the host hide his identity and mask his original traces. Since the host is thinking about flipping the table, the system has issued new missions!"

Option 1: Travel to the future world and kill the androids with your own hands. Reward: Power level breakthrough to 200 million.

Option 2: Travel to the future world and let Trunks kill the androids. Reward: Future Bulma restored to factory settings.

Option 3: Travel to the future world to set things right, find a new Kami, and create new Dragon Balls! Reward: Upgrade of Space-Time Technique to Greater Space-Time Technique!

"Hmph. Although the host can train his power level on his own, don't forget that you have attachments, and you still cannot master the power of rules!"

"System, what's the difference with the Greater Space-Time Technique?" Vegeta asked, puzzled.

"The Space-Time Technique is an initial combination of space and time powers. It can only perform Instant Transmission through space and simple time stops or accelerations, limited to events within thirty seconds. Since the host's strength far exceeds the enemies appearing now, you haven't had to use these two moves!"

"The Greater Space-Time Technique is a higher-tier fusion, far surpassing the initial combination! It allows for travel to true parallel worlds and the ability to reverse time! It covers events within one minute! Host, am I still useless?" the system replied with a hint of haughtiness.

"I see. But System, didn't you notice that you let me find a bug in your logic? Haha, I choose missions two and three. Hehe," Vegeta chuckled wickedly.

Having said that, he accepted the second and third missions.

"Damn it, the host is too mean, actually provoking this system on purpose! This system has decided that after this mission is completed, it will change its current mode and fix the bug. The repair time is indefinite, depending on this system's mood!" The cold voice of the system seemed to take on a feminine tone, and the words were no longer simple mechanical responses; it seemed to possess a trace of humanity!

"System, are you not a machine? How do you seem like a human, with emotions, capable of anger? Yet you're a bit dim?" Vegeta asked suspiciously.

Ding. "System under repair, unable to answer any questions from the host!" The system's voice returned to its cold, mechanical state.

"Haha, broken system. One day I'll figure out exactly what you are!" Vegeta thought to himself with a smile.

While he was communicating with the system, Trunks had finished resting and woken up. Seeing his father meditating, he felt lazy; his father trained all day and meditated at night, while he had been fast asleep! He immediately ran to Vegeta's side and said, "Father, please continue my training."

"Training also requires a balance of tension and relaxation. You cannot be reckless. Your body has temporarily reached its limit for these past six months! Continuing high-intensity training won't yield much improvement. For the next six months, I will teach you how to better master your transformations, and perhaps even achieve a new breakthrough!" Vegeta said as he stood up.

Suddenly, a golden aura erupted from his entire body, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan! The powerful pressure made Trunks feel very uncomfortable. Suddenly, Vegeta withdrew the oppressive aura, and the golden flames vanished.

"You saw my transformation; what did you think of it?" Vegeta asked.

Trunks immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan as well.

"Father, your transformation is very natural, and it lacks any violent aura! My transformation is full of violent, evil energy. It also consumes a lot of stamina. I can't hold it for long."

"Exactly. You have only just learned to transform into a Super Saiyan! You haven't mastered it perfectly! If you could be as natural as I am, your power level would increase by about 55 to 60 times! Right now, even a 50-fold increase is slightly lacking for you. Next, we move to Super Saiyan 1 Grade 2!" Vegeta explained.

He then let out a shout, and his muscles bulged. The energy he had previously restrained surged once more!

"So strong..." Trunks was too shocked to speak.

"This is Grade 2. Although it hasn't broken through Super Saiyan 1, it provides a 70-fold increase in power. Your goal for now is this transformation, but it has its drawbacks. While your strength increases, your speed decreases! Therefore, you must master this transformation perfectly, finishing the battle in the instant the enemy is caught off guard, so they don't have time to recover and run away!" Vegeta said, slowly deactivating his transformation.

"Yes, Father. And you mentioned Super Saiyan 1 just now—are there other transformations?" Trunks asked, confused.

"That's right, there are many transformations, but I can only master up to this level for now! The next level is the Super Saiyan 1 Limit State. Perhaps I can achieve that transformation during this time, but you shouldn't aim too high. Mastering Grade 2 in the next six months will be enough!" Vegeta clarified.

Once they finished speaking, the two began their training.
