Just then, two figures suddenly appeared.
They were Gohan and Aracki.
Basil immediately looked at them warily.
"Who are you?"
"Good people," Gohan replied calmly.
"Good people?"
Gohan turned to Aracki.
"Aracki, you have a way to control this guy, right?"
"Of course," Aracki nodded.
"Control me?" Basil's eyes filled with caution. "What are you trying to do?"
Aracki let out a sinister laugh and rushed forward.
Basil raised his guard and charged as well.
Whoosh…
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The two clashed instantly.
Basil's strength lay in his leg techniques, and his kicks lashed out like whips.
Whoosh…
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
After exchanging blows for a while, Aracki suddenly retreated and condensed dark energy waves in his palms, firing them at Basil.
Basil moved swiftly and dodged.
Suddenly, Aracki began chanting a spell. A massive black phantom appeared and swallowed Basil whole.
Moments later, Aracki had taken control of Basil's body.
Gohan immediately used Instant Transmission and brought Aracki back to Universe 7.
Earth, Mount Paozu.
Goten and the others were training when two figures appeared before them.
"Gohan!"
Gohan nodded.
"Brother, who is he?" Goten asked.
"His name is Basil. He's the new body Aracki is controlling."
"The new body?"
"That's right. He's not exactly a good person, so I had Aracki control him to serve as your sparring partner."
Originally, Gohan had considered having Aracki control Frost, but Frost was too weak. It would not help Aracki grow stronger and might even reduce his power. Basil, on the other hand, was far stronger.
"Brother, isn't this a bit wrong?" Goten asked hesitantly.
"It's fine. After the battle, I'll give him a Senzu Bean."
Goten nodded.
Soon, Basil fought against Goten and the others.
Although Aracki controlled the body and could feel pain, the true suffering still belonged to Basil.
Before long, Basil was battered and covered in wounds.
After the fight, Gohan sent Basil back.
When Basil regained consciousness, pain surged through his entire body.
"W-what did you do to me?"
"Nothing much," Gohan said lightly.
He then used Instant Transmission to bring Aracki back.
"Damn it! Don't let me see you again!" Basil shouted angrily.
Two days later.
Gohan was training as usual when the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Ding! System upgrade successful. The host's cultivation battle power has doubled."
"Doubled?"
"Yes, host."
Gohan calculated silently. Previously, he could increase about 0.6 trillion in base power per year. Now, it would be 1.2 trillion per year.
With Beerus set to awaken in two years, his base power could only reach around 7 trillion at most.
"System, can you increase the Gravity Chamber to two thousand times gravity?"
"No, host. Even the Super Dragon Balls can only increase it to one thousand five hundred times."
"Only fifteen hundred times?"
"That is the universal limit. It is the maximum gravity that the materials in this cosmos can withstand."
"The universal limit?"
"Yes. The Gravity Chamber depends on technology and materials. The materials in this space-time cannot endure more than fifteen hundred times gravity."
"I understand. Then increase it to fifteen hundred times."
"Understood. Using the power of the Super Dragon Balls now."
"Do it."
"Wish granted. Please continue training diligently."
The Gravity Chamber instantly looked brand new.
Gohan adjusted the settings and began training under one thousand one hundred times gravity.
That afternoon, Lagss and the others noticed the chamber.
"Brother, why does it look brand new?"
"I had it renovated."
"Renovated?"
"Yes. A mysterious scientist who wishes to remain anonymous."
"A mysterious scientist?"
"He also increased the maximum gravity to fifteen hundred times."
"Fifteen hundred times?" Lagss gasped.
Gohan nodded.
"Brother, that mysterious scientist isn't you, is it?"
Gohan stroked his chin dramatically.
"I didn't expect you to uncover the truth after all these years."
Lagss and Videl rolled their eyes.
The next day, Gohan summoned the Z Fighters to his house.
"Gohan, what's going on?" Krillin asked.
"It's nothing major. I just need to inform everyone of something important."
"What is it?" Piccolo asked.
"Beerus, the God of Destruction, will awaken in two years."
"The God of Destruction?" Krillin frowned. "Who is that?"
Vegeta suddenly began trembling slightly.
When he was young, he had once met Beerus. At that time, King Vegeta had angered Beerus and was pinned under his foot effortlessly.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Trunks asked.
"Nothing," Vegeta replied stiffly.
"Gohan, how strong is this Beerus?" Krillin asked.
"The God of Destruction is a deity responsible for destroying planets."
Everyone fell silent in shock.
