Super Saiyan 2 Son Gohan

"Supreme Kai? I once heard Lord Kai mention him. The Supreme Kai is the greatest deity in the universe. Are you that deity?" Son Goku asked, pointing at Shin.

Veins bulged on Piccolo's forehead as he slapped away Son Goku's disrespectful hand and rebuked him, "Goku! Watch your attitude!"

Son Goku rubbed his aching hand and muttered, "Seriously, Piccolo, you're too serious..."

Piccolo gritted his teeth. "You're the one who's too dense! Do you not understand the weight carried by the greatest deity in the universe? Don't be disrespectful to Lord Supreme Kai!"

Videl, who had been "Silenced," listened to Son Goku and the others with a completely bewildered expression.

What Supreme Kai?

What greatest deity in the universe?

Videl was getting dizzy from listening. Naturally, she did not believe them. They had to be lying!

If Videl could speak right now, her strong sense of justice would have compelled her to expose the tricks of the people before her!

"Mmgh, mmgh, mmgh~"

Videl whimpered and waved her arms and legs nonstop.

No one could understand what Videl was trying to say, except Piccolo and Shin. Both of them could read minds, and they clearly heard Videl's thoughts!

Liar! This guy is a liar! Don't believe him, everyone!

"Supreme... Kai?"

Vegeta was also deeply shocked at this moment. He had heard that title before!

"The Supreme Kai... a deity said to stand alongside the God of Destruction... is that him?"

When Vegeta was very young, he had met Beerus, the God of Destruction. At the time, Beerus's image had left a deep shadow on the young Vegeta!

Besides that, he had also heard that there was another deity in the universe who stood alongside the God of Destruction—the Supreme Kai!

Not only that, but Vegeta had heard the Supreme Kai's name many times while serving in the Frieza Force.

After all, the Supreme Kai was far from unknown in the universe. The Galactic Patrol, famous throughout the entire galaxy, was a force protected by the Supreme Kai. Legend had it that the Galactic King could even communicate directly with the Supreme Kai, though no one knew whether that was true or not.

The Supreme Kai? If he can stand alongside the God of Destruction, he must be just as terrifying, Vegeta thought.

While everyone was talking, Kibito and Son Gohan were also speaking on the tournament stage.

"What did you say? You want to see me transform into a Super Saiyan?" Son Gohan asked in surprise.

Shin, standing backstage, turned to Piccolo and said, "Mr. Piccolo, please have Mr. Gohan cooperate with Kibito."

Upon hearing that,

everyone was stunned. Cooperate with what?

Because they were too far away, no one had heard Kibito and Son Gohan's conversation on the stage clearly.

But Piccolo had heard it clearly, because Namekians had extremely sharp hearing.

Though Piccolo was puzzled, that did not stop him from following the Supreme Kai's instructions.

"Gohan!" Piccolo called out through telepathy.

Son Gohan froze, then turned toward the backstage area and saw Uncle Piccolo nod at him.

Son Gohan was thoroughly confused, but since Uncle Piccolo had agreed to let him transform into a Super Saiyan, even though he did not want to expose his identity, his respect for Uncle Piccolo made him prepare to obey.

Son Gohan took off his sunglasses and stared solemnly at Kibito across from him. "Fine. I'll do as you wish and transform into a Super Saiyan!"

"Although I don't know your purpose, I'll let you witness power that surpasses the limits of a Super Saiyan!"

"Oh? Power that surpasses a Super Saiyan?" Kibito was somewhat surprised.

The next second,

Son Gohan clenched his fists, and his aura steadily rose. As his energy level increased, even the tournament stage began to tremble...

"Yaaahhh!!"

Son Gohan roared, and his aura expanded wildly at a visible rate. The hair wrapped beneath his headscarf shot upward and fluttered in the wind...

"Yaaahhh!!"

With one final roar, Son Gohan completed his transformation. Golden light flashed all around his body, while blue electrical arcs rose and fell around him like a god descending into the world!

Backstage at the arena,

everyone was astonished to see Son Gohan transform into a Super Saiyan!

Krillin hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey! Why did that kid Gohan transform into a Super Saiyan? Won't that expose his identity?"

Scratching his head, Son Goku asked Shin, "Lord Supreme Kai, when you asked Piccolo to have Gohan cooperate just now, did you want Gohan to transform into a Super Saiyan?"

Shin smiled and nodded. "Yes."

Videl stared at Gohan on the stage, his whole body shining with golden light, her expression filled with shock!

She had countless things she wanted to say, but because Piccolo had Silenced her, she could only think, Gohan... transformed?! Could he be that mysterious golden warrior?!

In a corner of the venue,

Spopovich and his companion stared at the device in their hands. Its needle spun wildly as if it had gone crazy!

Spopovich's companion, Yamu, looked at the frenzied energy detector and exclaimed, "What astonishing energy! It's him! The person we're looking for!"

On the stage,

after transforming into a Super Saiyan, Son Gohan's confidence swelled. He looked teasingly at Kibito across from him and said, "I've transformed into a Super Saiyan as you wished. What now? Are you going to fight me like this?"

Kibito looked at Son Gohan, whose entire body gleamed with golden light and electrical arcs, and a bead of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

What astonishing energy! Is he really just a mortal?! Kibito thought.

Backstage,

Vegeta watched Son Gohan, who looked like a god descended into the world, and commented disdainfully, "Hmph! When he defeated Cell, that guy was much stronger than he is now. What a disgrace!"

Upon hearing that,

Videl glared at Vegeta in dissatisfaction. Who are you? What right do you have to judge Gohan like that?!

In the audience stands,

the spectators looked at Son Gohan, who was shining with golden light on the stage. Someone said in surprise, "That appearance... isn't he the person who appeared when Mr. Satan fought Cell?"

The spectators cried out in alarm.

Even Son Gohan's classmates quickly recognized him. "Th-that person... is Gohan?"

"No way... What? It really is him!"

"Gohan is the golden warrior!"

In a corner of the venue,

Yamu held a container resembling a kettle. It was an energy extraction device. He said excitedly, "Spopovich, go up there and restrain that kid. I'll take the chance to extract his energy!"

Spopovich grinned excitedly. "All right!"

As soon as he spoke,

the two of them charged toward the tournament stage!

This scene left the Z Fighters, who had been watching backstage, utterly astonished!

Son Gohan sensed two auras rapidly approaching from behind. He abruptly turned around and saw Spopovich and Yamu charging at him with fierce expressions and obvious hostile intent!

"What do you want?!" Son Gohan demanded angrily.

But Spopovich and Yamu had no intention of answering. They lunged at Son Gohan with ferocious momentum!
