John continued, "The God of Destruction actually has a master, and his master is the strongest being in the universe. The God of Destruction calls them Angels."
"Master, Angels?" Goku muttered, his expression a bit dazed.
Seeing Goku's expression, John hesitated to continue, but just as he was about to make a decision, Goku's expression suddenly cleared up.
"It looks like I'll have to train even harder from now on," Goku said loudly. "If I get the chance, I'll definitely fight the God of Destruction and the Angels!"
John looked at Goku, who had recovered from the blow and was once again full of energy. He suddenly felt that his previous worries were unnecessary; Goku's simple-mindedness meant that nothing could truly discourage him.
Since Goku had recovered, John decided to share some more knowledge with him.
John continued, "Goku, the Angels aren't the strongest either."
Hearing John's words, Goku, who was psyching himself up, suddenly collapsed onto the ground. He complained, "John, can't you just tell me everything at once? Who is stronger than the Angels?"
John smiled and said, "The Angels are the strongest in our universe, but there are many other universes out there. Each universe has its own God of Destruction and Angels."
"Above the Angels, there are the Grand Priest and the Omni-King!" John emphasized the last part.
Goku immediately noticed the emphasis in John's tone and asked, "Is the Omni-King the strongest in the universe?"
John nodded and said, "Yes, the Omni-King is the strongest. He created all the universes, and he doesn't understand martial arts or use any kind of energy.
"But with just a thought, he can wipe out all the universes and every living being in them."
"Remember, it's just a thought. It's not a technique or a secret skill. If you had to describe it, it's more like a rule."
"A rule?" Goku was confused again. He hadn't even mastered the Super Saiyan transformation yet, and rules were even more difficult for him to comprehend.
John smiled and said, "You don't need to understand it. Just remember not to anger the Omni-King, or else not only you but the entire world and universe will suffer."
Goku nodded blankly, but soon he regained his composure and said, "John, those Gods of Destruction, Angels, and the Omni-King are too far away for us. Let's start by training to become Super Saiyans."
Goku extended his hand to John.
John nodded, and what he admired most about Goku was his optimism and confidence. No matter how powerful the opponent, Goku always believed he could overcome them. That was probably why Goku was so well-liked.
"Alright, let's give it our all and start with becoming Super Saiyans," John said, reaching out and shaking Goku's hand firmly.
In the Room of Spirit and Time, the two of them trained with all their might, but they couldn't find the extreme anger and clarity required to transform into Super Saiyans.
Even after using up all the Senzu beans and spending all the time in the Room of Spirit and Time, they still couldn't transform.
Looking at the now grown-up Goku in front of him, John said, "Goku, it seems like transforming into a Super Saiyan requires a trigger. It's not easy to achieve. We've already been training in the Room of Spirit and Time for two years."
"Although the Senzu beans have helped us recover physically, we've been under a lot of mental pressure, which might be why we can't transform into Super Saiyans."
"Since the time is up, let's go outside and relax with our friends. Maybe during that time, we'll have a chance to break through and become Super Saiyans." John smiled as he finished speaking.
John and Goku knew that this was unlikely, as the condition for breaking through to Super Saiyan was extreme calm anger. How could they possibly achieve it while being happy and relaxed?
The two of them walked out of the Room of Spirit and Time, one after the other. Kami and Mr. Popo, who had been waiting outside, looked at them.
Although they had only been apart for two days, John and Goku had experienced two years inside the Room of Spirit and Time. John had matured even more and was now in the prime age for a Saiyan.
Goku had also grown from a teenager into a young adult, although his face still had a hint of youthfulness.
Kami and Mr. Popo wanted to sense their power and see how strong they had become, but they couldn't feel anything. It was as if they were just ordinary people.
But when they tried to sense their energy more carefully, they realized that their energy was like an endless sea or sky, unfathomably deep.
John smiled and asked Mr. Popo, "Mr. Popo, can you prepare a feast for us? Neither of us knows how to cook, so we've been eating poorly these past two years."
Mr. Popo was surprised by John's request but quickly agreed, "No problem. Please wait, I'll prepare a feast right away."
John hurriedly added, "Mr. Popo, prepare more, the more the better. Our appetites are huge."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of food in the temple, all freshly procured by me," Mr. Popo replied loudly before disappearing through the temple door.
Kami looked at the tattered clothes on the two of them, especially Goku, whose clothes no longer fit due to his growth spurt, only covering the necessary areas.
Kami kindly asked, "Do you want me to get you new clothes? Your clothes are so torn that they're unwearable."
Goku immediately responded with joy, "Really?"
"Of course, no problem. Do you want the same style as before?" Kami walked up to Goku and raised his right hand above Goku's head.
"Of course."
Then Kami used his magic, and with a "swish" sound, Goku was wearing a new martial arts uniform, but the turtle symbol on it had changed to a god symbol.
Kami then walked over to John and helped him change into a new set of clothes as well.
After changing clothes, Kami looked at John and Goku with anticipation and asked, "How did your training go? Why can't I sense your energy?"
John smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Kami. Our strength is more than enough to deal with Piccolo. As for why you can't sense our energy, it's because we've learned to control it completely.
"All the energy that would have leaked out is now contained within our bodies, so you can't sense it."
