There's Still a God of Destruction Behind Us

"R-really? Can you truly cross the vastness of space to travel between universes just like that?"

Ron's words had clearly left Son Goku completely stunned.

At the same time, Piccolo, Krillin, Son Gohan, and Bulma were equally shocked.

"If your strength is sufficient and you can sense the ki on both ends, then performing an Instant Transmission is naturally no problem. However, given your current level of power, even if you learned the technique, your ki-sensing range wouldn't cover the Earth. So, don't go thinking you can rely on it to commute back and forth right now," Ron said, squinting his eyes as he teased Son Goku.

In truth, even for him, using Instant Transmission to reach Earth was extremely difficult.

Unless, as was the case this time, Son Goku and Frieza erupted with enough ki to spread to a point where he could capture it.

Only then could he use that ki to track, lock onto the target, and perform the Instant Transmission.

"I see. So, for this Instant Transmission technique, you must have a target's ki to assist in the jump?"

"You're quite sharp. That's right! I've only cultivated this technique to this level so far; it still needs refinement in the future. Perhaps one day, I won't need to rely on ki to travel at all."

Son Goku was truly a genius when it came to cultivation.

Ron had only mentioned it briefly, yet Son Goku had already grasped the greatest flaw of Instant Transmission.

It wasn't something one could do at will; one had to perceive the target's ki to complete the jump.

"With your cultivation, I believe you'll achieve that one day. After all, you've even mastered the Super Saiyan form," Son Goku said, suddenly changing the subject.

This was another unexpected turn for Ron.

According to the early portrayals of Son Goku in the original work, especially during the Universe arc, while he was much more mature than in the first series, he shouldn't have been this composed or meticulous.

The meaning behind his words sounded like a compliment, but in reality, it was a probe.

Truth be told, Ron had finally witnessed the true mind of Son Goku.

This guy wasn't stupid at all; he was smarter than anyone, even if he appeared simple-minded on the surface.

"Then I'll take your word for it. If you want to learn, I can teach you. I can even teach you how to become a Super Saiyan," Ron said, the corner of his mouth curling up as he spoke in a seductive tone.

These words immediately caused Son Goku to show a look of pleasant surprise, a complete change from his previous demeanor.

Seeing this, the others felt their hearts jump into their throats.

Could there really be such a good deal in this world?

"You're really willing to teach me Instant Transmission? And you're willing to teach me how to turn into a Super Saiyan? Aren't you afraid that my strength will surpass yours?"

"Surpass me? If you can manage that, I would welcome it," Ron said, his eyes filled with a smile. "Of course, I won't teach you for nothing. In exchange for the methods of Instant Transmission and the Super Saiyan transformation, you must provide me with something worth teaching you. For instance, you can teach me the techniques you know; I'm quite interested in Earth's cultivation methods..."

As his voice trailed off, Son Goku was momentarily stunned.

"Mutual instruction?"

Clearly, he was the one getting the better end of the deal.

Earth's cultivation methods and the techniques he currently knew, even including the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb, were far less valuable than the methods for Instant Transmission and the Super Saiyan transformation.

"You can interpret it that way. Of course, you can also consider that I am grooming you, giving you enough qualifications to be my opponent in the future. That way, I can use the sense of urgency you bring to become even stronger. After all, the universe is vast, and being a Super Saiyan doesn't necessarily mean you're invincible... Besides, behind Frieza, there is still a God of Destruction," Ron continued, his tone becoming solemn toward the end.

These words were too blunt; he had laid out his future plans, leaving no room for doubt.

He had also taken the opportunity to bring up the God of Destruction, letting Son Goku and the others know that this was the true target they needed to pursue in the future.

"God of Destruction?!"

Upon hearing this, Son Goku froze.

It wasn't just him; Piccolo, Krillin, and Son Gohan were all dumbfounded.

"T-there is a god of destruction in this world?" Bulma exclaimed.

"That is why the world is full of wonders. Do you dare believe that the destruction of the Saiyan race was related to the God of Destruction? Frieza told me before that the extinction of the Saiyans was ordered by God of Destruction Beerus. That was when I realized that Frieza was nothing more than a dog under the God of Destruction," Ron couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He gave a brief explanation, letting them know the terror of the God of Destruction, which Frieza couldn't even compare to.

"Frieza... just a dog... of the God of Destruction???" Krillin gasped, his face turning deathly pale.

"Then, then how strong is this God of Destruction?" Son Gohan's face was also incredibly ugly, his eyes filled with fear.

Piccolo remained calm, but his eyes were unfocused; he was clearly terrified as well.

Frieza was already heaven-defying enough; he hadn't expected there to be a God of Destruction backing him.

Son Goku was stunned, not just by the impact of the news, but also by the information North Kai was transmitting to him at that moment.

If not for North Kai's warning, he could hardly imagine that such a god existed in this world.

Moreover, North Kai had also mentioned the Supreme Kai, who stood on par with the God of Destruction, making Son Goku realize even more clearly just how vast the world was.

"What? Kakarot, looking at you, don't tell me you're scared?" Ron continued in a playful tone.

Son Goku looked up and met Ron's gaze.

"To say I'm not scared would be a lie. After all, Frieza was already terrifying enough, and I never expected there to be an even more terrifying God of Destruction! However, rather than fear, I am more excited now. With my strength, given enough time, I believe I can surpass Frieza sooner or later. The existence of even stronger opponents in the future just means I can become even stronger!"

This statement from Son Goku completely revealed his combative spirit.

Ron admired him and nodded with a smile: "You didn't disappoint me. I hope that when the day comes to truly face the God of Destruction, you'll still have this mindset."

Although said in a joking tone, Ron was serious.

As a transmigrator, he knew all too well just how powerful God of Destruction Beerus was.

Given their current strength, let alone provoking him, the man could wipe them out with a single breath.

"So, your plan for the future is to find a place to keep training, waiting for the day you can face and defeat the God of Destruction?"

Son Goku asked again.

"Of course not, that's only one of my goals. I'm a human being, after all. Now that there are no enemies for the moment, besides training, I naturally want to do other things to satisfy my own desires..." As he spoke, Ron couldn't help but roll his eyes at Son Goku.

Could this guy even understand?
