Kaioshin Realm.
Gohan, the Kaioshin, and Kibito flew side by side towards the sealed location of the Z-Sword.
Kibito flew in the middle with his hands clasped behind his back, a hint of arrogance in his expression as he said,
"The Kaioshin Realm is a sacred place in the divine realm. Even the various Kai and Grand Kai have never been here, let alone humans. Mr. Gohan is the first human to ever visit this place."
Gohan smiled but said nothing, letting Kibito finish his boast, otherwise, he would be quite uncomfortable.
Besides, wouldn't that just highlight how impressive he was?
The Kaioshin, flying to Kibito's right, said, "Kibito is right, but Gohan is no ordinary human."
Gohan, flying to Kibito's left, chuckled and said, "Hehe, the Kaioshin Realm truly lives up to its name as a sacred divine land. The scenery is beautiful, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the area is vast and boundless. It's just a bit of a shame."
A shame?
What a shame?
Kibito and the Kaioshin were puzzled.
The Kaioshin voiced his question: "What's a shame?"
Gohan laughed and said, "Such a vast place, with such abundant spiritual energy, yet it's all barren land. How wonderful it would be if we could cultivate it. With such rich spiritual energy, the food grown here would surely be exceptionally delicious. Even raising animals, their meat would be sweeter. I'm practically drooling just thinking about it."
"Lord Kaioshin, why not consider it?"
Kaioshin: ...Kibito: ???
From Gohan's words, was he trying to convince them both to switch careers and become farmers and animal breeders?
Please, they were the esteemed Kaioshin and his attendant.
The noblest and greatest deities in this universe.
Asking them to farm? That joke wasn't funny at all.
The Kaioshin awkwardly replied, "Let's, let's not."
"Sigh, I knew it. That's why I said it was a shame, wasting such a good place."
"Mr. Gohan, farming in a sacred place is a form of blasphemy against the gods, isn't it?" Kibito said.
"No, no, no, this is called developing new business, perfect utilization of resources."
The three flew for a moment, and ahead appeared a massive lake.
In the middle of the lake stood a mountain peak, its summit rising dozens of meters above the water.
The three descended from the sky, landing on the mountaintop.
The mountaintop wasn't wide, only about five or six square meters, but it was flat and covered in lush grass.
Looking up, Gohan spotted the sealed Z-Sword in the center of the mountaintop.
Though called the Z-Sword, only its hilt was exposed.
The blade was entirely buried in the earth, not a single inch visible.
The group walked across the soft grass to the Z-Sword.
The Kaioshin pointed at the hilt and stated the obvious: "Mr. Gohan, this is the Z-Sword."
Gohan crouched down, parting the grass to examine it closely.
The Kaioshin continued, "This sword has been sealed here for over 75 million years. As far as I know, no one has ever been able to pull this sword out. Since Mr. Gohan wants this sword, why don't you try to see if you can pull it out?"
"There's a rumor that whoever pulls out the Z-Sword will gain incredibly powerful strength and become the strongest warrior in the universe."
"If Mr. Gohan can't pull it out, then you must honor the agreement..."
Gohan made an 'okay' gesture, staring at the Z-Sword and marveling, "75 million years, and the hilt still looks brand new. It seems the Old Kaioshin was a clean person after all."
"What?" The Kaioshin indicated he didn't understand what that meant.
"Alright, please stand aside, both of you. I'll give it a try," Gohan said, standing up.
"Mm, alright." The Kaioshin and Kibito wisely stepped aside, looking as if they were watching a show.
Gohan knew that in his base form, he likely couldn't pull out the sword, so without further ado, he immediately transformed into a Super Saiyan.
With a "boom," in an instant, golden hair and blue eyes, surging aura, and a whirlwind erupted from the ground.
"Is this Super Saiyan?"
"Such powerful energy."
"Though not as strong as his Great Ape form last night, it's still very powerful."
The two onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This was their first time seeing a Super Saiyan.
They found it incredibly novel.
Gohan grinned, steadying himself in front of the hilt.
He casually stretched his muscles, then bent down, firmly grasping the hilt, and exerted force with both arms.
"Haaah~"
In just a second or two, the ground cracked, and the Z-Sword was pulled up by more than 20 centimeters.
"This..." The Kaioshin was shocked.
"How is this possible?" Kibito exclaimed, dumbfounded.
The Z-Sword, which no one had moved for tens of millions of years, was pulled out so easily?
Damn it, didn't they care about their reputation?
The Kaioshin and Kibito felt like they were dreaming; it was too unreal.
Gohan, with a burst of effort, pulled upwards with both arms, and the entire Z-Sword was yanked out.
It was much easier than he had imagined.
However, he had to admit that this sword was incredibly heavy.
If the sword the Kaioshin gave to Trunks weighed 1, then this Z-Sword's weight was probably over 10,000.
Even with Gohan's astonishing arm strength, wielding it wasn't entirely smooth.
"It, it was actually pulled out. Incredible," the Kaioshin stammered, beginning to doubt his life.
Kibito quickly asked, "Mr. Gohan, how is it? Do you feel that immense power?"
"No, but I want to say this sword is really heavy," Gohan said honestly.
"How heavy can a sword be?" Kibito questioned.
"Don't believe me? Why don't you try?" Gohan said, holding the blade with one hand and offering it to Kibito, a playful smile on his face.
"Alright, I'll try." Kibito didn't mind, reaching out and grasping the hilt of the Z-Sword.
Seeing him grip the hilt, Gohan released his hand.
The immense weight of the Z-Sword instantly fell into Kibito's hand.
Kibito let out a cry of "Ah!" as the Z-Sword crashed to the ground, creating a deep depression. The entire mountain peak trembled, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.
Kibito's face turned pale because his arm was directly dislocated.
The Kaioshin was completely bewildered.
What kind of insane weight was this? It was too ridiculous.
Kibito quickly cast a healing spell on himself, setting his arm and restoring it to normal.
Looking at the Z-Sword embedded in the ground, Kibito's face was filled with lingering fear, not daring to try lifting the sword again.
Was this just a 'bit heavy' problem? His eyes were watering.
Gohan chuckled, "I told you it was a bit heavy, but you didn't believe me."
He bent down and picked up the sword, otherwise, the mountain would soon collapse under its weight.
"Would Lord Kaioshin like to try as well?" Gohan asked, looking at the Kaioshin.
The Kaioshin shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, I won't try."
What a joke, his strength was only comparable to Kibito's.
He had seen Kibito's miserable state; he didn't want to be the next clown.
"Hahaha, alright." Gohan laughed heartily, resting the sword on his shoulder, then continued:
"Lord Kaioshin, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
Gohan pointed at the mountain peak beneath their feet and said, "You couldn't pull out the sword, so why didn't you try blowing up this mountain? If you blew up the mountain, wouldn't the sword come out?"
The Kaioshin shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Gohan,
A predecessor already thought of this method, but this lake has been enchanted with a magic array, guarding this Z-Sword.
If anyone attempts to violently destroy this mountain, the lake will retaliate."
"Uh, I see." Gohan said, astonished.
He looked in surprise at the massive lake beneath his feet, never expecting such a secret to be hidden within it.
