Whis's words made both Trunks shudder. This was completely different from their previous training. Hadn't they trained to increase their strength? Yet with Whis, strength was no longer the most important thing—one's realm was.
Gogeta had long formed his own understanding of such matters, so he was not surprised. Still, judging from Whis's words, his own realm was far from sufficient!
"Alright, let's begin the training."
Whis led the three of them to an open area. He conjured his staff and swept it toward the ground. Two iron blocks appeared before Older Trunks and Trunks. Each block had two holes that their hands could pass through, making them easier to lift.
"Then, gentlemen Trunks, please begin with strength and endurance training."
"Carry these and walk around the God of Destruction Realm once. If you walk too slowly, you might end up stepping into another dimension!"
Whis pointed at the path behind them, which was gradually disappearing. Frightened, the two hurriedly began their training.
"Why is this so heavy?"
The two struggled to hold up the iron blocks as they slowly moved forward.
"These weights were custom-made for the two of you."
Whis covered his mouth and chuckled.
As he watched the two figures gradually recede into the distance, Whis began guiding Gogeta's training.
"Mr. Gogeta, at your current level, you should be able to learn that move."
"Separate your body from your consciousness, allowing every part of your body to make judgments automatically. There will be no need to think through your brain before acting, allowing you to become faster and stronger..."
Whis roughly explained the abilities of Ultra Instinct.
Sure enough, Whis began teaching Gogeta Ultra Instinct.
"If you can truly master this move, you will gain divine power and enter the true realm of the gods."
"Then, let Mr. Gogeta experience it first."
Whis gestured for Gogeta to attack.
Gogeta rushed forward and launched an assault on Whis. Whis nimbly evaded him, like a butterfly dancing through a sea of flowers. Vegito did not touch Whis even once.
After their brief exchange, Whis called Gogeta to a stop.
"Mr. Gogeta, how does it feel?"
"It's incredible!!"
Gogeta felt that Whis was like a cloud. Before his fist could even strike, the wind from it would blow Whis away. No matter what he did, he could not touch him.
Gogeta voiced his feelings.
"But I'm still completely lost right now."
"It's alright. This move is difficult to learn to begin with. Even Lord Beerus spent many years before he could barely use it, and even Lord Beerus has yet to wield it flawlessly."
Whis encouraged Gogeta, telling him to relax.
And so, Gogeta and the two Trunks remained in the God of Destruction Realm to train.
Half a month later, in the God of Destruction Realm.
Gogeta was sparring with the two Trunks. He was attempting the Ultra Instinct Whis had taught him, while the two Trunks attacked Gogeta with all their strength. Gogeta dodged as Whis guided him from the side.
"Mr. Gogeta, calm your heart and let your body move on its own."
Gogeta furrowed his brow, still unable to understand Ultra Instinct's almost magical ability.
After training for a while, Gogeta still had no clue. Whis called the three of them to a stop.
"It's still too difficult, Whis," Gogeta said helplessly.
"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Gogeta. With your talent, I believe it won't be long before you learn it. You simply haven't found the trick yet."
After half a month of training, Whis had discovered that Gogeta possessed terrifying potential. He was the most talented person Whis had seen in all his years—even Lord Beerus could not compare.
"Alright, don't think so much. Let's go eat something first."
Whis's voice pulled Gogeta's thoughts back to reality. At the mention of food, Gogeta tossed every question to the back of his mind. Right now, food was the only thing in his heart.
Another month passed.
"Mr. Gogeta's movements are becoming more and more similar!"
Whis's voice came from the distance. The two Trunks, who were cutting grass, looked up and saw Gogeta attacking Whis. Gogeta still failed to touch Whis even once, but it was clear that Gogeta's movements had changed significantly, becoming far more fluid.
"That is all thanks to Whis's guidance."
Gogeta stopped attacking and spoke to Whis.
"Hmph, this brat still has a long way to go."
Beerus stood in the distance, wearing the same haughty expression as ever. Yet the slight upward curve of his lips revealed Beerus's approval of Gogeta.
After that, Gogeta's understanding of Ultra Instinct advanced by leaps and bounds. In less than half a year, Gogeta successfully crossed the threshold of Ultra Instinct and comprehended Ultra Instinct Sign.
"Mr. Gogeta's Ultra Instinct still couldn't be used to freely control his attacks. He could only passively evade attacks, and it lasted for an extremely short time. It was far from a perfect state."
"Still, Mr. Gogeta is already incredibly impressive. He comprehended Ultra Instinct in less than half a year. According to my estimate, it should have taken him at least a year."
"Lord Beerus took back then..."
Before Whis could finish, Beerus roared.
"Shut up, Whis!"
Seeing Beerus get angry, Whis stopped talking. If he continued, Beerus might start hitting people.
"Lord Beerus, Mr. Whis, we're preparing to return to Earth."
Gogeta and the other two had been in the God of Destruction Realm for nearly half a year. They had basically finished all the food they brought, and they planned to head back. After all, training required a balance between work and rest, so they intended to take a break.
"We're coming too, Whis."
Beerus missed Earth's food. He had not eaten any in over half a year, and Whis was craving it as well. Thus, the group hurried to Earth without delay.
After nearly half a year of training, Gogeta successfully mastered Ultra Instinct Sign and his Super Saiyan Blue transformation. Older Trunks successfully transformed into Super Saiyan God, while Trunks reached Super Saiyan 2.
After Beerus and Whis enjoyed a satisfying meal on Earth, they returned to the God of Destruction Realm. Gogeta also prepared to return to his own timeline. Having been away for so long, he somewhat missed Tights.
The original plan had been to return after teaching Trunks for a while. However, because of Older Trunks's arrival, Gogeta had unexpectedly met Beerus and Whis. Unwilling to give up such a good training opportunity, Gogeta decided to stay a while longer.
In half a year, Vegeta and Nappa had long since arrived on Earth. He just did not know how the battle had gone this time. Little Gohan's power level surpassed Vegeta's, and with Master Roshi's training as well, they should have made it through safely.
He just did not know whether Frieza would still learn about the Dragon Balls on Namek through the bug in Vegeta's scouter. This time, Piccolo had not died, so he had not revealed any information about Namek.
Then Gogeta thought of something else. He had not yet met the Son Goku of this world. Given Son Goku's personality, if he learned of Gogeta's existence, he would surely pester him for guidance. The thought alone gave Gogeta a headache.
Forget it. If it came down to it, he would use a clone to brush him off. He could not let Son Goku ruin his time cuddling with his wife.
