Time flashed by and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
It has been half a year but Champa and Vados were still looking for the remaining Super Dragon Balls in Universe 7. The days were just as usual, and Frieza seems to have disappeared after being resurrected, neither stirring up any trouble nor reappearing.
“Frieza has been resurrected?” Xiaya was surprised.
After returning from Universe 6, he learned about Frieza’s resurrection from Goku, but he just laughed it off and didn’t take it seriously.
“Put aside Frieza’s matter for now, no matter how much he jumps around, he won’t be able to raise any waves.”
Xiaya knew that during the time when Frieza had disappeared, he must be hiding on an unknown planet to train. However, no matter how Frieza trains, it is basically impossible for him to break through to the third level of Divine Realm. Restricted by the laws and lacking the guidance of the gods, it was destined for mortals to only reach the second level of Divine Realm.
Of course, it is possible that some people’s second-level Divine Realm is stronger than others’ third-level Divine Realm, but if the target of comparison is someone at fourth-level Divine Realm, then there is no comparison at all. The disparity between them is too big, and it already involves some universal laws. Without encountering a big opportunity, it cannot be made up by hard work alone.
In other words, no matter how hard Frieza trains, compared to Xiaya, there is still a world of difference and he is destined to be unable to catch up. Xiaya just paid a little attention to it and didn’t take it seriously.
Being at the fourth level of Divine Realm, he is qualified to look down on the world from high above.
After picking up Xiang and the others from Universe 6, he made some arrangements for their training and then he also began to meditate to comprehend the mysteries of the fourth level of Divine Realm. Xiling and others also didn’t waste their time and simply moved over to Planet Yedola, which was not far from Planet Hongshan to comprehend Realm.
For people like Xiling and others who have advanced to Divine Realm entirely by comprehending Realm, the best way to improve their strength is to continue to comprehend higher realms, which is different from Goku.
Goku’s state is said to be Divine Realm, but it’s not quite accurate.
Goku took a shortcut when he broke through to Super Saiyan God, relying on merging the powers of six Super Saiyans to forcibly comprehend Divine Realm. Although he temporarily transformed into Super Saiyan God, it was not complete.
Later, through Whis’ guidance, although he mastered the transformation of Super Saiyan God, its essence was not very pure. Therefore, when he made a breakthrough to Super Saiyan Blue, he gave up a portion of the power which comes from Realm and used brute-force method to breakthrough, somewhat returning to Super Saiyan state.
During his breakthrough to “Super Saiyan Blue” where his hair is blue, Super Saiyan God acted more like an external assistance, which strengthened his physical strength and upgraded his life level because of which he was able to withstand the burden of Super Saiyan Blue transformation.
Of course, as a result of this training, Goku still entered the “Divine Realm”, where his strength can be said to be at the Divine Realm, but the proportion of Realm component is extremely low. Only when he absorbs the power and completely masters the Super Saiyan Blue transformation can he comprehend the power of Realm and truly enter the “Second Level of Divine Realm”.
……
The highest dimension of the universe, God of Destruction’s Planet.
The planet inhabited by God of Destruction Beerus.
The rhombus-shaped planet was floating in the center of this world as thick clouds floated everywhere around it and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside them. In a place which was open and had nothing, only a few broken meteorites were drifting irregularly.
Bang, several meteorites collided and cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorites, and then the cracks slowly spread out before they broke into smaller pieces.
In this chaotic area, a figure was floating in the void with a hazy aura surrounding him.
“Boom!” The aura soared, burning like a flame.
Chi chi chi, the golden aura’s colour gradually changed and a dark red flame appeared at the top before burning more and more fiercely. In an instant, the dark red radiance had overshadowed the golden light, and it burst into a dazzling brilliance like fireworks.
“Ahhhhh!!”
The man spread out his arms and roared proudly, the surging power was like a tumultuous wave, gradually rising in the chaotic void…
When the strength reached its peak, the golden hair slowly turned back to pitch-black, but if you look closely, you can see that between the pitch-black hair, strands of dark red light flickered, which was as clear as a dark red colored glass.
Vegeta opened his eyes and a crimson light flickered in his eyes, a haughty smile gradually appearing on his face.
Using the “Vacuum Technique” taught by Xiaya, Vegeta has been training in the outer space of God of Destruction’s Planet for more than a year, and now he has finally made a breakthrough.
Feeling the surging energy in his body, Vegeta smiled in content. There’s nothing wrong with his choice, and even if he has taken a different path than Goku, he can reach the top.
“Kakarrot, my strength is not worse than yours now. No, I have become stronger than you.”
At this time, the dark red-haired Vegeta has undoubtedly reached the Divine Realm, and it is different from the Divine Realm achieved by Goku.
Vegeta had also not went through pure realm breakthrough, so his hair color was different from the red-haired and red-eyed appearance of Super Saiyan God. Vegeta’s hair was dark red, inclining towards the black of Normal State and with a faint blood-red luster present among them. But his eyes were the same red as Super Saiyan God.
With half realm and half strength, he has reached “Divine Realm”, which is different from the conventional Divine Realm.
In the Multiverse, it is impossible to reach the real Divine Realm no matter what if it doesn’t slightly adhere to Realm.
“Kakarrot, now we’re at the same heights again, let me see if it’s your Super Saiyan Blue or my Super Saiyan Red which is more powerful!”
Sensing his strength with satisfaction, Vegeta had an urge to find someone to test his strength immediately, and Goku, who is also on God of Destruction’s Planet, was the best test subject.
He turned around and his body became blurry, passing through the layers of energy mist and flew towards God of Destruction’s Planet at the center.
Above the rhombus-shaped star, the blue waves rippled and a breeze was blowing.
Goku was in Super Saiyan Blue form as he fought against Whis. With his hands behind his back, Whis was flying casually and no matter how Goku attacked, his fists did not land on Whis. After a while, Whis chuckled, rotated his wrist and the scepter in his hand made a few circles in the air.
Bang! The crystal ball struck Goku and sent him flying.
Whis fell to the ground with a faint smile on his face.
“Goku, don’t hold back your strength when fighting. This behavior of sounding out your opponent may be useful in martial art tournaments, but in actual battles, especially when facing enemies of similar strength, it will only ruin your chances of victory.”
“If you can defeat them, you don’t need to sound out your opponent. You should use your full-strength and defeat them; if you can’t defeat them, no matter how much you sound them out, it’s useless, instead it will clue in your enemy which will ruin the little hope of victory that you originally had for no reason.”
Towards Goku, whose fighting style is such where he always holds back, Whis could only wake him up by beating him with brute-force.
Whis’s words were of course reasonable, but maybe it’s a habit formed since childhood. When Goku fights, he always unconsciously regards the battle as a martial art tournament, and when facing enemies, he is not ruthless, which is a disadvantage.
Goku scratched his head, also aware of his own shortcomings.
But since he can’t change it, he can only improve his strength to the peak and crush the enemy with absolute strength. The so-called one-force breaking through everything is simple, straightforward, and does not require too much brains.
“Whis, let’s keep fighting, I still have a lot to learn,” said Goku while laughing out loud.
Nodding lightly, Whis glanced at Goku, and was about to give him pointers when he suddenly felt a force approaching. With narrowed eyes, Whis put away the scepter and watched calmly.
After a while, a figure descended from the sky, standing proudly opposite Goku.
“Kakarrot, I’ll let you experience my strength.”
With an unruly smile on his face, Vegeta pointed his finger at Goku with confidence.
