Another five years passed in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"What did you say? You're going to the Dark Demon Realm?"
Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Cooler stared at Son Gohan in surprise.
Son Gohan nodded. "That's right. I also want you to come with me. What do you think? Want to take a look?"
Son Gohan had expected Cooler to refuse, but instead, he agreed outright. "Sure. Hunting down Gods of Destruction sounds thrilling."
"It does, but it's also dangerous," Son Gohan said with a smile.
"With your current strength, you should have no problem taking on an average God of Destruction."
"So you're putting my current strength at the level of an average God of Destruction? How do I compare to Beerus, then?"
"Lord Beerus is much stronger than you, of course. He's among the strongest Gods of Destruction."
"What about you? Can you beat him?" Cooler's face was full of anticipation.
Son Gohan smiled. "As I am now? Yes!"
Son Gohan felt that, since he had asked Cooler to accompany him to the Dark Demon Realm and Cooler had agreed, he could no longer hold anything back. He needed to give him enough confidence.
Cooler wasn't surprised by Son Gohan's answer. On the contrary, he felt that was only natural.
Deep down, he had always believed Son Gohan ought to be stronger than Beerus.
Cooler narrowed his eyes. "You never used your full strength when you fought me before, did you? Let me see you at full power."
"All right, but I'm afraid your Hyperbolic Time Chamber won't be able to withstand all my power."
"Heh, it's just a little Hyperbolic Time Chamber. If it breaks, it breaks. I'll just make another one."
Son Gohan grinned. "Hey, you said it. I'm not paying for it."
"Hmph!"
"Enough talk.
