Mount Paozu
Trunks was training when a figure suddenly appeared in the sky and descended.
It was Gohan.
"Gohan, you're back!"
Gohan nodded.
"So, roughly how long will it take for the Gravity Chamber to be upgraded to eight hundred times?"
"I don't know. Aunt Bulma said she'll call me once it's finished."
"I see."
Gohan thought for a moment.
"Trunks, how about I take you to train at my dad's place?"
"Uncle Goku's?"
Gohan nodded, placed a hand on Trunks' shoulder, and used Instant Transmission.
King Kai's Planet
The two instantly appeared.
"Gohan! Trunks!"
Goku immediately stopped training when he saw them.
Gohan nodded.
At that moment, King Kai and Bubbles walked over.
"Are you King Kai?" Gohan asked.
This was his first time visiting King Kai's planet.
"That's right! I am the Kai—uh—the Kai!"
King Kai spoke while scratching himself oddly.
Gohan and Trunks stared, confused.
"…?"
"Cough, cough!"
King Kai quickly regained his composure.
"So, why did you two suddenly come here?"
Trunks hesitated.
Before he could answer, Gohan spoke calmly.
"King Kai, we came here to train."
"Train?!" King Kai was shocked.
Gohan could probably defeat him with a single finger, yet he still wanted to train.
"Yes, King Kai." Gohan smiled.
"Weren't you training on Earth?" Goku asked. "Why bring Trunks here?"
King Kai was thinking the same thing.
"I sent the Gravity Chamber to Aunt Bulma to be upgraded."
"You upgraded it again?!"
"Mhm."
Goku looked at King Kai.
"King Kai, can you let them train here for a while?"
"This…" King Kai hesitated.
One Saiyan had nearly destroyed his planet multiple times.
If Gohan and Trunks trained here too…
Seeing his hesitation, Goku smiled.
"Just for a short time. Once the upgrade is done, they'll leave."
"…Alright!" King Kai finally agreed.
"Thank you, King Kai!" Trunks bowed politely.
King Kai nodded, silently praying they wouldn't tear his planet apart.
Two Weeks Later
Bulma finally completed the upgrade.
West City — Bulma's House
Gohan stood in the backyard.
"Alright, Gohan. I've upgraded the Gravity Chamber to eight hundred times."
"Thank you, Aunt Bulma!"
"It's nothing."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back."
"Go on."
Bulma waved him off.
Mount Paozu
Gohan reappeared instantly.
"Gohan, you're back!" Trunks was visibly happy.
Gohan nodded, pressed the capsule switch, and threw it forward.
BOOM!
The Gravity Chamber expanded onto the ground.
"Let's go in."
"Okay!"
Inside, everything looked newly refurbished.
"Aunt Bulma even renovated it."
"Yeah."
"Should we start at five hundred times gravity?"
"…Alright."
Trunks nodded.
Gohan adjusted the controls.
500× gravity.
The pressure slammed down.
Trunks immediately felt short of breath.
"Are you okay?"
"I—I'm fine!"
Trunks clenched his fists and transformed into a Super Saiyan.
The pressure eased slightly.
At that moment—
Gohan clenched his fists.
An overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
The entire Gravity Chamber began shaking violently.
Trunks' eyes widened.
Gohan's hair turned purple, standing upright.
His eyebrows vanished, brow ridges pressing forward.
His pupils also turned purple.
This was Elementary Ultra Ego.
Unlike Beerus' true Ultra Ego, this form did not require God Ki.
Mortals could use it.
While its power couldn't compare to a God of Destruction's Ultra Ego, it was still terrifying.
It even carried traces of Destruction energy, capable of erasing matter itself.
The only drawback—
It consumed massive physical strength.
"W-What is this…?" Trunks stared in shock.
"This is called Ultra Ego."
"Ultra… Ego?"
"Mhm."
"Can I use this too?"
Gohan chuckled.
"You can—but only after mastering Super Saiyan 3."
"…Super Saiyan 3?" Trunks immediately gave up.
He hadn't even mastered Super Saiyan Two yet.
"Then which is stronger—Ultra Ego or Super Saiyan 3?"
"Ultra Ego isn't a transformation," Gohan explained. "It's a Godly Technique."
"A Godly Technique?"
"It can be stacked on top of Super Saiyan 3—but there's no need.
Super Saiyan 3 consumes too much stamina. If you stack Ultra Ego on top of it, you'll burn out almost immediately."
"I see. Then if they aren't stacked… which one is stronger?"
"Ultra Ego." Gohan answered calmly.
"In the Ultra Ego state, it draws out all the power within your body."
Trunks sighed.
"Too bad I'm still too weak. I'd really like to see how strong it is at full power."
Gohan smiled and said nothing.
