Over those seven years, Son Gohan spent a long time pondering and analyzing the various systems of the Dragon Ball world.
One aspect was the analysis of energy. Put simply, it was divided into the realms of mortals and gods.
In the original work, it had been pointed out during the God of Destruction arc that mortals could not sense a god's aura.
Naturally, Karin the Immortal and Earth's god had to be excluded here, because Son Gohan had roughly deduced that those gods were merely ordinary "divine office" gods.
In other words, they were gods who held a "divine position." They had duties of their own, but did not possess the strength of high-ranking gods such as Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction.
Of course, that strength was in comparison to people like Son Goku. Compared to ordinary people with a power level of 5, even Karin the Immortal could look down upon them.
This was what had made Son Gohan ponder for a very long time. Even though he had fought Marcarita before, he still could not understand the difference in the power of the god realm.
In fact, Son Gohan had noticed this starting with the Supreme Kai.
The Supreme Kai felt the same as gods like the God of Destruction and angels—he could not sense them through aura alone.
However, he could sense their existence with spiritual power. If they deliberately concealed themselves, though, that was another matter. After all, he had not tried it yet.
This proved that they had not transcended the restraints of the world like the so-called "gods" in many other works.
Yet the original work's descriptions were contradictory. At first, it was said that gods could completely conceal their aura and perfectly control their energy, making them impossible for mortals to
