"Hmph!"
Bulma snorted.
"Anyway, I still can't get used to that green face!"
"Well, Aunt Bulma, I'm full. I'm going to take a nap."
"Alright. We'll clean up here."
Gohan nodded and headed back to the house connected to the gravity chamber.
When he arrived, he saw Piccolo still training.
"Uncle Piccolo, you're still at it?"
"Huff… huff…"
Piccolo nodded, breathing heavily.
"Uncle Piccolo, do you want to rest for a bit?"
"…Alright."
As Piccolo spoke, he reset the gravity chamber back to normal.
"Huff… huff…"
The moment the gravity returned to normal, Piccolo let out a long breath of relief.
After that, the two returned to their respective rooms and took a nap.
Afternoon
After waking up, they resumed training in the gravity chamber.
Three Days Later
To avoid holding Gohan back, Piccolo eventually decided to train outside.
Although Gohan felt a little reluctant, he still agreed.
After all, he could visit Piccolo whenever he wanted.
Once Piccolo left, Gohan immediately adjusted the gravity to one hundred times.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. One one-finger push-up completed. Battle Power +100!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Two one-finger push-ups completed. Battle Power +200!"
…
Four Days Later
Gohan's normal-state Battle Power reached ten million.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have reached ten million Battle Power."
"Reward unlocked: Sky-Penetrating Mirror, Mind Reading, Fusion."
An ancient-looking mirror appeared instantly in the system inventory.
"…Steal?"
"What steal? Host, did you mishear?"
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Gohan took out the Sky-Penetrating Mirror.
"So this is the Sky-Penetrating Mirror?"
"Yes, Host."
The image inside the mirror shifted, revealing King Kai's Planet, where Goku was currently training.
"System, how do I go to other universes?"
"As long as you desire another universe, its image will appear in the mirror. Simply touch it, and you'll enter that universe directly."
"I see."
"Then how does this mirror seal people?"
"That's simple. Shine the mirror on the target, and it will absorb them—provided their power is lower than yours."
"What if I use it by accident?"
"The mirror follows your will. If you don't intend to seal someone, it won't activate."
"…As I wish?"
"Cough, cough! Host, be serious."
"I am serious."
"Then why didn't you give me something like Kaio-ken?"
"If I gave you Kaio-ken now, what would I reward you with later?"
"Ultra Instinct. Or Zeno's erasure would work too."
"…"
"Let's talk about it when you're stronger."
"So that's a yes?"
"…Later."
"Yes or no?"
One Month Later
Time passed in a blink.
During this month, Bulma upgraded the gravity chamber. Its maximum gravity was increased to three hundred times.
Gohan checked his status panel.
Name: Gohan
Gender: Male
Bloodline: Saiyan Hybrid
Age: 5
Normal State Battle Power: 60,000,000
Potential: ??? (Not yet awakened)
IQ: 60
"…When did an IQ stat appear?"
"After the system upgrade."
"System, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
"Host, am I that kind of system?"
"If you're not, then who is?"
"…."
"Forget it. I'm magnanimous. I won't argue with a small system."
The IQ value instantly changed to 250.
"Damn it, System! If you've got guts, come out and I'll smash your dog head!"
"I won't come out. Let's see how you hit me."
"A small system really is small—too scared to leave my body!"
"Who are you calling small?!"
The system flared up.
"If you want to fight me, you don't have to leave!"
"…Don't have to leave?"
In the next instant, Gohan appeared in a space resembling the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
"Where is this?"
"This is the system's alternate dimension. You can go all out here without being detected."
"Oh? Then where are you?"
"Cough. Host, I am everywhere."
"Everywhere?"
"Yes. You're inside me, and I am inside you."
Gohan fell silent.
"…Then how am I supposed to fight you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Gohan, identical in appearance, materialized in front of him.
"This is my clone. If you want to fight me—defeat him first."
"…A clone? Then who's the host?"
The system chuckled.
"Didn't I just say it? I am in you, and you are in me."
"Forget it. I'll beat him first!"
Gohan clenched his fists and charged forward.
The clone mirrored his movement exactly.
Whoosh—
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Their fists collided violently.
Bang!
Both were struck in the face simultaneously and sent flying.
Whoosh—
Thud!
They slammed their feet into the ground and stopped.
"Ha!"
Gohan roared and charged again.
The clone rushed forward at the same time.
Their fists and legs blurred, clashing repeatedly.
Suddenly, Gohan dropped low and swept his leg.
The clone leapt into the air.
Gohan followed instantly.
Whoosh—
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The two figures twisted through the sky, trading blows at blinding speed.
