That evening, after Gohan returned, Bulma started chatting with Gohan, but Goku didn't join in.
However, when Bulma returned with a smile on her face, Goku knew the outcome.
The next morning, Goku arrived on God of Destruction's Planet very early; he was in a hurry!
Seeing Goku's anxious expression, Whis smiled and led Goku to the training area.
" Goku, since you're in such a hurry, I'll teach you the Divine Technique belonging to angels— Ultra Instinct!"
"In my opinion, you can learn it in just a few days."
Whis wasn't talking nonsense; with Goku's current foundation, all he lacks is an opportunity.
After Whis finished speaking, he waited for several seconds but didn't hear Goku's voice, so he turned to look at Goku.
He was met with Goku's eyes, which were filled with fervent enthusiasm, as if two flames were burning brightly within them.
As it turns out, Whis once again underestimated Goku's comprehension; sometimes the difference between people...
No, that's not right. Now it should be said that the gap between gods is truly despair-inducing!
The learning was done in the morning, and the understanding came in the afternoon.
At 7:00 AM Earth time, Goku began his studies. At 2:00 PM Earth time, Goku successfully mastered the Ultra Instinct Sign.
Goku emitted a silvery-white aura, his hair stood up slightly, and his whole body radiated a silvery-white light. He stood in the sky with his eyes closed.
"Oh ho ho, Goku, congratulations on taking the first step towards the state of Ultra Instinct. You are now the first person in the known universe, besides angels, to reach this level."
Whis said with a smile, he was in a very good mood, because apart from the angels, only Goku had mastered Ultra Instinct, and both of them were taught by him.
How can he not be arrogant? Have any of his siblings raised a decent person?
Even his father... cough cough, let's not talk about that.
(The idea that Beerus can also Ultra Instinct Sign is purely a fanfiction setting, right? In the manga, Beerus can use it to a certain extent, but he hasn't reached the level of Ultra Instinct Sign yet. In the original text, when Goku first achieved Ultra Instinct Sign, Beerus said that Goku had surpassed him, which is the best proof. If you can find evidence, please put it in the comments section below this paragraph, and I will revise it. Of course, it must be official evidence.)
"Hmm! Thank you, Whis." Goku slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm tone.
At this moment, his eyes shone with a lively light, and a silvery-white gleam flickered in them.
However, in the instant the words were spoken, the silvery-white light clearly dimmed slightly.
Whis had clearly noticed Goku's situation as well.
" Goku, you don't need to thank me. Your ability to grasp Ultra Instinct so quickly is also due to your own foundation and talent."
"However, your current Ultra Instinct is still in its early stages. It's obvious that once you start thinking for yourself, you won't be able to maintain the state of Ultra Instinct perfectly, which will cause problems when you attack."
"What you need to do now is to perfectly control your emotions. When you can do that, then you will have truly entered the realm of Ultra Instinct."
"After you've controlled your emotions, what you need to do is integrate those emotions into the Ultra Instinct. Only then can you truly achieve that state of Ultra Instinct!"
Whis pinpointed Goku's problem in a single sentence, and also told him the path he should take from here on out.
"Okay, I understand, Whis." Goku nodded.
He could sense the problem with himself and wanted to try to change the situation, but things take time, and Rome wasn't built in a day.
This is clearly not a problem that can be solved with just one transformation.
Perhaps the character in the original story had a cheat code? Or maybe it was just a temporary one.
After the Tournament of Power, the original version of himself was never able to reach that level again; even if he could, it was only under pressure and he would use a cheat code in a crisis.
It wasn't until the Moro Saga, after undergoing training with Merus, that he truly mastered the Ultra Instinct Sign form.
After the sacrifice of Merus, he mastered the Perfected Ultra Instinct form.
After all, Krillin is known as Little Merus!
Now that I'm using Ultra Instinct Sign, I don't need to worry about the time being too short like I did in the original story.
The Ultra Instinct is called the Divine Technique is because it requires God Ki.
Now, his normal state is God Ki, and coupled with his terrifying regenerative ability, maintaining the Ultra Instinct Sign is no problem for him.
He finally understood why Whis had to break through to the Divine Dimension himself before teaching him Ultra Instinct.
Before breaking through to the Divine Dimension, the conversion rate between ordinary qi and God Ki was frighteningly low, since God Ki had far more uses than ordinary qi.
While there might be slight differences in raw power between ordinary aura and God Ki of the same size, the controllability of God Ki is far superior to that of ordinary aura, which is often fatal in battle.
This is why, given equal combat skills and physical strength, possessing God Ki often results in overwhelming superiority.
Of course, if a mortal's mastery of qi and combat skills far surpass those of a god who uses God Ki, they can also achieve a level of being comparable to a god with a mortal body, or even to the point of killing a god.
In terms of the conversion rate between ordinary Qi and God Ki, even the amount he uses to maintain the Ultra Instinct Sign would probably be too much for him.
After all, the Ultra Instinct Sign is an imperfect one, and its consumption is even higher than that of Perfected Ultra Instinct.
"By the way, Goku, how much of a boost did you get after transforming into Ultra Instinct?" Whis suddenly asked curiously.
In general, even after reaching the Divine Dimension, the hidden power within the body cannot be fully unleashed, and Divine Technique serve this purpose.
Of course, the angels had long since unleashed all the hidden power within their bodies; perhaps it's fair to say that Ultra Instinct is their normal state.
This also prevents them from knowing how much the Divine Technique belonging to their angels can amplify the power of those whose strength has not been fully unleashed.
Lord Beerus's Divine Technique amplifies his strength by 600 times. Of course, it will increase even more later, but that's because he absorbed other energy after being beaten up and improved through external means.
Whis even taught Lord Beerus Ultra Instinct in order to find out the answer to this question, but it is clear that Lord Beerus did not grasp it.
Or rather, he grasped the concept, but not completely, and his foundation was even weaker than Goku's before. If Goku was half a step behind, then Lord Beerus was a full step behind.
But this one step has been delayed for a long time, mainly because Lord Beerus is too lazy! He doesn't take the initiative to train at all.
If Lord Beerus were to train willingly, he wouldn't believe that he couldn't even reach the Ultra Instinct Sign after so long.
"Let me think... um... 1.2 million times?" Goku glanced at his stats and did the calculation before answering.
