Mysterious Planet

Sitting inside the spaceship, Son Gohan sank into deep thought.

Because things had already slipped completely out of his control!

The confidence he had always had from knowing the plot and from his own talent cracked at that moment.

The road to the future that had once seemed bright was now shrouded in shadow, leaving Son Gohan so dispirited that he could not even be bothered to pay attention to the ship's course.

Right now, what he had to resolve was the "inner demon" in his heart.

And so, Son Gohan sat quietly on the control room floor, his mind beginning to wander wildly.

After who knew how long, the unfocused look in Son Gohan's eyes suddenly regained its light.

He raised his right hand. The next moment, dense energy slowly began to gather, and then an energy ball like a miniature sun appeared above his fingertips.

Feeling the powerful energy contained within it, Son Gohan suddenly smiled.

At that moment, his heart understood.

All the fog from before dispersed completely. The shadows from before were utterly melted away by sunlight. All the confusion from before vanished like smoke in the wind.

Boom!

At that very moment, intense white flames of aura instantly ignited from his body. Astonishingly, in the next second, those flames began to change shape continuously, coiling around him.

Son Gohan could feel that his mental and spiritual cultivation had received a powerful boost in that instant of clarity.

Getting to his feet and arriving before the control panel, Son Gohan quickly tapped on the keyboard. Then he heard a mechanically synthesized voice say, "Would you like to activate the life detector?"

Son Gohan immediately said, "Activate it at once. Search for the nearest planet with life."

Very soon, a large amount of data appeared on the display screen, the computer constantly calculating the data returned by the detector.

Son Gohan waited quietly. About ten minutes later, the calculator suddenly popped up a notification.

"Three light-years from the spaceship, there is a planet with a strong life reaction currently on our ship's flight path. Would you like to lock onto the current course and land on this planet?"

"Approve the plan!" Son Gohan immediately ordered.

Right now, Son Gohan did not dare force the ship to change course, because that would place a tremendous load on the other thruster, and it would very easily break in the end.

If both thrusters broke, then it would be too late to cry.

As for the unknown future he was about to encounter, Son Gohan was no longer worried at all. After all, to put it jokingly, could he possibly run into someone even stronger than Frieza now?

Because they had deviated from their course and only had one thruster left, the current journey, according to the computer's calculations, had been extended again to around twenty-six days.

Son Gohan no longer cared about the time. He just had to enter his training state again.

And so, life once again returned to extremely disciplined training.

Thirteen days later.

Son Gohan could not help sighing. No wonder even Vegeta, the prince of the Saiyans, could only admit that Son Gohan's talent surpassed both Son Goku's and his own.

Because now, he had already adapted to sixty times gravity while activating one ton's worth of Magic Metal Rings.

If he did not activate the Magic Metal Rings, he could already train while enduring sixty-five times gravity.

As for his current combat power, Son Gohan had not used a detector to calculate it, because as long as he had not endured one hundred times gravity yet, his combat power probably would not exceed ninety thousand.

Half the time remained.

Son Gohan decided to first adapt to one hundred times gravity without using the Magic Metal Rings, then gradually adapt to gravity suppression under five tons.

The training plan had already been arranged. In truth, Son Gohan knew that if he was in a hurry, he could absolutely speed up the rate at which he increased the multiplier.

After all, Son Goku had been able to adapt quickly when the gravity suddenly surged from fifty times to one hundred times. In that case, Son Gohan was confident that his current self, at sixty times gravity, could do even better than Son Goku.

But he would not do that. This was the difference in their personalities.

Time passed quickly amid fixed training. When the time reached the twenty-fifth day.

At this moment, the gravity number displayed on the screen was eighty times.

But if one saw the ten Magic Metal Rings on Son Gohan's body, glowing with a faint shimmer as he trained, they would know this was eighty times gravity under a weight of five tons.

"545... 546..."

Struggling through one-finger push-ups, sweat on Son Gohan's forehead kept sliding down his cheeks, finally dripping onto the floor.

That spot had already been soaked over a large area by the dripping sweat.

After finishing one thousand one-finger push-ups, Son Gohan exerted strength through both arms and directly straightened his body.

Letting out a long breath, he picked up the towel beside him and wiped the sweat from his face. Son Gohan recited the spell and turned off the Magic Metal Rings on his body.

Then he walked over to the control panel and turned off the Gravity Generator as well.

After that, he entered the bathroom, took a shower, then lay on the bed and fell asleep, not even meditating.

Because tomorrow was the final day, Son Gohan had to keep his body and mind in the best possible state to face any situation that might appear at any time.

When the time given by the computer had less than ten minutes remaining, Son Gohan could already see that enormous, dazzling blue planet through the window.

According to the analysis data given by the computer, this planet was a full twenty times larger than Earth, and the strength of its life aura was who knew how many times greater than Earth's.

In other words, the lifeforms on it were many times stronger than Earthlings.

But before he could get any closer, Son Gohan felt his ship begin to shake violently.

Then the ship grew calm again. Yes, it had been locked in the void of space by some unknown force.

Immediately afterward, Son Gohan saw a vase appear on the computer, followed by chaotic streams of data sweeping across the screen.

Clearly, the ship's control center had been hacked.

Hiss~!

Amid the wild rush of escaping air, a flurry of footsteps charged in. Son Gohan's ears twitched slightly, and he knew there were seventeen humanoid lifeforms.

"&￥%...%#"

In a string of language he could not understand, Son Gohan found himself targeted by a full seventeen weapons resembling long guns.

These lifeforms all wore blue armor covered in fish-scale patterns, with streaks of light flashing across it from time to time.

Their builds were similar to Earthlings', all standing around one meter eighty to one meter ninety tall, though each of them looked very burly.

Even though he could not understand their language, Son Gohan could still tell their meaning was nothing more than telling him to give up resisting and surrender.

Frowning slightly, Son Gohan still raised both hands, signaling that he had no intention of attacking.

Right now, he did not know how powerful these aliens' weapons were. After all, he had not yet reached that overwhelmingly powerful level of Super Saiyan.

So it was best to be careful in everything. Once he figured out the situation, it would not be too late to show off... cough, cough, to make his move.

After the seventeen aliens confirmed he would not resist, two of them immediately split off and came behind him, using some unknown device to lock Son Gohan's hands and feet. Then they pushed him toward the exit.

Son Gohan did not resist either, looking perfectly obedient as these guys took him back.
