Chapter 122 Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Through Turles's reminder, Goku finally remembered his childhood experience.
"Boss, you mean that room!"
Goku clapped his hands together, shouting somewhat excitedly.
He remembered—as a child, he'd indeed entered a special room. However, back then he was still young. His mind couldn't settle down at all. After staying inside just one month, he couldn't endure it anymore.
Thinking this, Goku disregarded everything else. He immediately jogged off to find Popo.
Vegeta—hearing Goku's words—had his eyes flash with brilliance.
He seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.
Seeing Vegeta's thoughtful appearance, Turles already guessed what he was thinking.
Regarding this, Turles had no intention of stopping him.
Regardless of what Vegeta had done previously—since he'd already died once, and currently still served as a whetstone tempering Red Stone Saiyans—naturally, the higher his strength, the better.
Anyway, regardless—his own strength already led Goku, Vegeta, and these people by a large margin. As long as he wasn't brain-dead like the original's Gohan—wasting his own talent—he couldn't possibly be caught up to by these two.
On this point, Turles still had confidence!
However, since Goku already wanted using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to improve his strength—could Red Stone's other people also try it?
Turles rubbed his chin, pondering this possibility inwardly.
The more he thought, the more Turles felt this idea was good.
Because of Old Kai's concerns, the Supreme Kai position was temporarily not worth considering.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happened—Shin, this Supreme Kai, wouldn't be replaced in short time either.
Though Turles thought about—when Universe 10's Zamasu began acting, murdering his teacher Gowasu—he could then serve as Universe 10's Supreme Kai.
But since the plan encountered unexpected changes, he could only place his target on the God of Destruction candidate position now.
However, God of Destruction Beerus—like Shin—currently had no retirement plans. So he could only rely on himself.
This way, raising Red Stone Saiyans' battle power should also be placed on the agenda.
"Five righteous-hearted Super Saiyans, injecting heart power into another Saiyan."
Thinking of Super Saiyan God transformation conditions, Turles felt somewhat troubled.
Currently on Red Stone, besides Turles himself, only Broly could transform Super Saiyan. So he still needed four more people achieving transformation to meet conditions.
Among the remaining four, Goku's righteous heart qualified. But currently his battle power still lacked somewhat. Wanting to transform Super Saiyan could only depend on this Hyperbolic Time Chamber training.
Vegeta needn't even be mentioned. Though his talent ranked among Saiyans' top tier, battle power improvement also quite rapid—currently, he simply shouldn't think about any righteous heart.
Even among current Red Stone Saiyans possessing righteous hearts, Turles couldn't guarantee—though they were now called "righteous warriors."
Like Nappa—even though his normal-state battle power already reached 2.5 million, very close to the three million Super Saiyan transformation requirement—Turles also didn't dare confirming whether Nappa truly possessed a righteous heart.
Others like Raditz, Bela, Clark—were even further behind. So wanting to transform Super Saiyan God, Turles had a long wait ahead.
Just as Turles worried, Vegeta—continuously focusing on Goku—became somewhat restless.
"Hyperbolic Time Chamber? Outside world one day equals one year inside. So that's how it is!"
Hearing Hyperbolic Time Chamber information from Goku and Popo's conversation, Vegeta immediately understood.
So Nappa's tremendous strength improvement in just two days was because he'd already spent two years' time.
Vegeta's eyes flashed brilliantly. He couldn't help clenching his fists. If not for previously breaking through Turles's mental seal—greatly increasing his mental power—he'd probably already lost control of his aura from excitement.
"Kakarot!"
Vegeta took a deep breath, finally calming himself. He walked to Goku's side, calling out.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Vegeta's voice, Goku turned around, looking at Vegeta puzzled.
Vegeta tried making his voice stay calm: "That Hyperbolic Time Chamber you mentioned—two people can enter simultaneously, right?"
Though Popo had just told him the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's restrictions, Goku was only focused on excitement. So he truly didn't know whether two people could enter together.
So he again turned toward Popo, transmitting a questioning look to Popo.
"Yes!"
Popo felt somewhat helpless. However, fortunately, he knew Goku's nature. So he patiently explained the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's restrictions again.
"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a special room created by an ancient Kami long ago. Inside, the time flow rate differs from outside world's time flow rate."
"One year passes outside world, only one day passes inside."
Though already knowing this, Vegeta still patiently listened to Popo's introduction.
"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber can accommodate at most two people entering at once. One person can stay at most two years' time."
Hearing two people could truly enter together, both Goku and Vegeta became somewhat excited.
Goku was excited because—if just himself alone, he might not be able to stay long before giving up. But now with two people, he could stay longer.
Vegeta was excited because he could battle Goku inside. This way, his battle power improvement would be even faster.
As for whether one person couldn't stay—Vegeta didn't worry too much. You had to know—previously when Turles mentally sealed him, he also alone faced empty environments. This point no longer felt as terrifying as imagined.
"Kakarot, I have a proposal—"
"You want to enter together with me?"
Before Vegeta finished speaking, Goku already said it. After speaking, he looked at Vegeta with shining eyes.
"Uh!"
Vegeta's remaining words stuck in his throat. Seeing Goku's current appearance—seemingly not minding him joining—
Actually, this was Vegeta misunderstanding. Goku initially held no prejudice toward him whatsoever.
In his worldview, as long as someone could make him fight to his heart's content, he'd subconsciously ignore everything else.
Vegeta was like this. Though he'd also invaded Earth, even led Slug attacking Red Stone—since Vegeta already reformed, he wouldn't have opinions about Vegeta.
Since Vegeta wanted joining him, he could fight Vegeta to his heart's content. So after hearing Vegeta's words, he immediately guessed Vegeta's purpose.
"Yes, I'll enter together with you. I think you also want an opponent. Two people continuously battling is better than one person working behind closed doors."
Since Goku saw through his intent, Vegeta no longer hid it. Directly stating his purpose.
However, clearly also wanting to enter himself—yet Vegeta spoke as if considering Goku.
However, Goku didn't care about this. Hearing Vegeta's words, he became even more excited. Immediately wanting to drag Popo toward the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Seeing this, Popo said nothing. Just began leading the way, guiding both toward the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

How much improvement Goku and Vegeta would have in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber temporarily aside, Turles also awoke from contemplation.
Surveying the surroundings, Turles discovered no one remained. Goku and Vegeta's auras also couldn't be sensed. After briefly thinking, Turles understood.
"When Goku and Vegeta emerge again, they probably can transform Super Saiyan!"
Looking at the empty Heavenly Realm plaza, Turles thought secretly.
Regarding these two, Turles still had confidence. This wasn't just because of both's abnormal improvement speed in the original—also because he'd already witnessed both's talent.
However, Turles had no intention waiting here for both to emerge. Because he'd just thought of a good idea.
Universe 6!
Besides Universe 7, Saiyans also existed in Universe 6. Moreover, Universe 6's Saiyans' development trajectory differed from this universe's.
If wanting to quickly gather five righteous-hearted Super Saiyans, Universe 6 was an excellent choice.
"Just right—can test Old Kai's universe traversal method!"
Thinking this, Turles's figure vanished from Heavenly Realm. When reappearing, he'd already arrived at Bulma's home.
---
Still Bulma's laboratory. Turles looked expectantly at the contemplating Bulma.
Just now, immediately after returning, Turles pulled Bulma into the laboratory. Then he projected for Bulma the scenes of Old Kai traversing universes he'd seen at Supreme Kai Realm. That altar was especially emphasized.
After seeing that altar, Bulma began falling into contemplation.
Suddenly, Bulma moved. She walked before a computer. After opening it, she began calculating on it.
Tap tap tap!
Keyboard tapping sounds continuously rang. Bulma's eyes also grew increasingly bright.
Finally, Bulma stopped calculating. Looking at the screen's displayed results, she turned toward Turles, saying somewhat excitedly:
"It's truly possible!"
Hearing this, Turles also felt somewhat excited. He couldn't help giving Bulma a thumbs up.
"However, if wanting to achieve traversal, we still need some time."
"Though I—based on the spatial knowledge you previously obtained from Shenron, combined with this altar's coordinates—found methods breaking through universe barriers."
"But wanting to manufacture flight tools still requires some time to complete. Moreover, I still need multiple experiments. This way, it'll take at minimum one month."
Just as Turles felt happy, Bulma suddenly poured cold water on him.
"Uh!"
The excitement on Turles's face froze. However, he quickly felt relieved.
Right—no matter how talented Bulma was, she was still a mortal. She didn't possess the ability creating things from nothing.
However, as long as it could be built, that sufficed. Just one month's time—passed in the blink of an eye. Just right—during this month, he could collect Universe 7's Super Dragon Balls.
Then after reaching Universe 6, directly collect and transport the remaining Dragon Balls.
Thinking of it, doing it—Turles had Bulma begin manufacturing the universe-traversing spaceship. He produced the Super Dragon Ball radar Bulma previously made.
Pressing the Dragon Ball radar's button, four red light dots immediately displayed above. Meaning currently, four Super Dragon Balls were in Universe 7.
Pressing again, three light dots vanished. Only one remained—the Super Dragon Ball closest to him.
Turles looked at the Super Dragon Ball's location on the radar. Using apprentice Supreme Kai authority, he began comparing with the star map in his mind.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, Turles's mouth corners showed a smile. Saying softly, then his body vanished from place.
Swish!
Turles's figure appeared in an asteroid belt. Standing on a massive boulder, he could clearly see the bright, gigantic celestial body not far away.
In the dark, silent universe, the Super Dragon Ball was so conspicuous. Clearly not a star, yet emitting light brighter than stars.
"It's the Three-Star Ball!"
After carefully counting the five-pointed stars within the celestial body, Turles muttered to himself.
After staring for a while, Turles again activated Instant Transmission. Next second, he appeared on the Three-Star Dragon Ball's surface.
Super Dragon Balls' volume—even compared with some planets—appeared extremely massive. So when Turles stood on the Three-Star Dragon Ball's surface, he felt like standing on massive glass.
Turles looked down. Besides those bright red stars, his reflection was also clearly visible.
Looking at his reflection, Turles couldn't help again feeling shocked by Dragon God Zalama's great power. Only super existences like Dragon God Zalama could manufacture planet-sized Super Dragon Balls.
According to Whis's explanation, Dragon God Zalama's position already existed at the same level as Omni-King. In terms of status, even Grand Priest—after seeing him—would salute.
"Wonder when I can also possess such great power!"
Through the Super Dragon Ball, Turles fantasized about Dragon God Zalama's great power. Couldn't help sighing.
After sighing briefly, Turles squatted down. Extending his hand to touch the Three-Star Dragon Ball's surface, a smooth sensation transmitted from his hand.
"Could it truly be glass?"
Sensing the sensation in his hand, this thought flashed through Turles's mind.
Thinking this, Turles stood. His body slowly floated in midair. Then he directly activated Super Saiyan transformation.
Extending his hand, Turles began gathering energy in his palm. Shortly, a basketball-sized energy ball condensed in his hand.
"Go!"
Lightly pushing, the energy blast rapidly fell toward the ground.
Boom!
A loud crash. A mushroom cloud rose from the Three-Star Dragon Ball. Then terrifying shockwaves began spreading in all directions.
After dust settled, Turles descended. Looking at the Super Dragon Ball—his just-concluded attack only left a black mark on the surface—Turles fell into speechless silence.
"Still overthinking somewhat!"
After long moments, Turles self-deprecatingly smiled, abandoning his previous ridiculous idea.
After self-deprecation, Turles's expression turned serious. Powerful mental power erupted, beginning to envelop the entire celestial body.
The Super Dragon Ball's size still exceeded Turles's expectations. Fully spending one hour, Turles's mental power finally wrapped the entire celestial body.
Turles never felt like this before. He felt like—under high gravity while bearing a small mountain—that heavy sensation was something he'd never experienced.
"Rise!"
Turles gritted his teeth. After loudly shouting, he directly transformed Super Saiyan 2. Then seizing the eruption's instant, he activated Instant Transmission.
Swish!
Next second, both Turles and the Three-Star Dragon Ball vanished from this star region.
