20 Intense training and King Kai's request(Edited)

I turned the gravity up to one thousand while I increased the field around me to five, five thousand times normal gravity crushed me directly to the floor of the ship so that I couldn't even get up even if I wanted to, I laid on the floor like a pancake as the gravity pushed me down, my healing factor was working overtime as my bones were breaking and healing continuously I tried to get up but I just physically couldn't, so I just laid there while I did some mental training.

After a few what I felt like were hours but were actually not, I could finally get up from the floor, my power level increased to five million and five hundred thousand, while my body became way stronger than before, but it still wasn't strong enough to take on Cooler without the Kaioken.

I stopped the gravity and looked at the watch that would keep up the time of my training, and four months had passed. I blinked my eyes, time around me felt slower than usual under this intense gravity and I only thought that only a few hours had passed. It seemed after the gravity reached a thousand and above your sense of time will be distorted.

I checked the communicator but no new messages appeared, It seemed I was alone for the time being, I didn't truly want to continue my training so I decided to cook something, I decided that I would make some bacon pancakes and a super sandwich, which would consist of beef sausages bacon and fried eggs, some fries on the sides and tomatoes, pickles and pickled lettuce.

After I cooked and ate everything, a voice appeared in my mind, it was King Kai and he sounded pretty urgent at the moment as he said:

"Krillin, there's an emergency in hell, because of the influx of negative energy due to the death of quite a high amount of villains these days an abnormally strong demon was created, even though he is weaker than Dabura, no one has the time to deal with it now."

A change of pace from training was good for me, I needed to fight more people, I was still too inexperienced, Cooler's spaceship took me by surprise, I didn't fully realize the speed of spaceships that the Kold Empire got their hands on. It was pretty impressive and just a little below mine, which was wished from an almighty magic dragon.

I thought their's would be way slower but it seemed not, fortunately, Cooler didn't kill me that day, as long as I wasn't strong enough I wouldn't start fighting randomly anywhere anymore, I already did a lot of heroic acts when I wasn't a hero, that was enough for now, helping a kai was another thing, I felt bad for King Kai as I took his technique and never gave him anything in return, I even was quite cold to him back then and even made him embarrassed.

I teleported using my Instant transmission towards his planet, he was expecting me and he started to explain the situation better:

"This demon call's himself Aatrox the world ender, he was created due the influx of negative thoughts and sin created by the death's of quite a bit of evildoers, hell is a special place that takes the sin of evildoers and tries to purify it overtime by torturing their residents, this time too many evildoers died and it made the system overwork itself letting the sin transform into a new demon."

I nodded my head I was embarrassed it seemed my killing of all those villains created this Aatrox guy, and he was almost as strong as a Super Saiyan two if he was just below Dabura.

King Kai continued:

"I don't know anyone else as strong as you that could take on this job in our galaxy so I need you to slay or seal this Aatrox, make sure he can't get out of hell into the mortal world as he would create much chaos."

I nodded my head towards King Kai and said:

"Don't sweat it, King Kai, I will do my best to beat him and stop his rampage in hell."

King Kai looked visibly better after hearing my answer and said with a straight and serious face:

"Now for you to get to hell you just have to... jump down."

I knew where hell was so I just did what I was told to, and I jumped down trough the yellow clouds that resembled the flying nimbus.

I immediately plummeted to hell, and it was just like I expected it, lava was flowing everywhere, demons were at large, while some were bathing in lava and others wore warden uniforms and put the sinners in their place, hitting them with police batons or punching them. It was just like a jail.

I could feel immense and evil ki coming from the north, the warden demons ignored me as they got the message from King Kai that I was their backup. They couldn't do anything to Aatrox so they needed me.

I flew quickly towards the north my golden aura encasing me as I met with Aatrox the world ender, he was a giant monstrosity with red skin and dark horns that extended into the red sky of hell, he had a giant greatsword in his arms as he waved it around and swatted the warden demons that tried to fight and capture him. He decapitated them, cut them in two and did all of his best to made sure his victims were in true pain before they died as he laughed maniacally.

He looked towards me and shouted:

"Come mortal as I shall sever your shoulders from your spine, LETS FIGHT!"

There was no talking needed for this guy, I immediately activated my super mode and started to fight with him, to counter his greatsword I made my ki sword and started to slash at him, he dodged easily and slashed at me at a tricky angle, he was a swordmaster!

His slash hit me head-on and my arm flew away, but another one grew right after, Aatrox narrowed his red pupilless eyes and said while laughing:

"Ahahaha, you can regenerate? this is great mortal, we can fight at our heart's content then! after I will kill you I will drown the outside world in blood and carnage!"

I didn't say anything there was no reason to, he had the skill advantage and he couldn't kill me directly due to my healing factor, he was a good fighting opponent as I could train my sword techniques on him.

We fought for ten days and night's we both had pretty much inexhaustible stamina, me from my healing factor and him because he was on his home ground hell. at first, he dismembered me easily he parried all my hits and dodged with ease. But the more I fought him the better I got at swordsmanship, I started to parry his shots and dodge myself, sometimes I would slash and even cut an arm or leg down, he could regenerate himself just like me, he had a source of boundless sin in hell which he could himself with.

After a while I disarmed him of his greatsword, he wasn't as strong as Dabura he was way below super Saiyan two-level, King Kai made a mistake, everything there was to him was his limitless regeneration stamina and his great sword skills, even though he was a bit stronger than the average super Saiyan. But King Kai did say there was no one else could beat him in the north galaxy, it was true as Frieza wouldn't want to do this, he might even kill King Kai if asked, Goku didn't mature yet so there wasn't any true hero of the universe yet.

I activated my Benevolent Buddha stand and sent a strand of pure Buddha ki towards Aatrox it started to burn him as he shouted:

"Mortallllll I will kill you and all your loved ones." He motioned for his sword as it flew in his hand and he was ready to attack me again, but I stopped him as one giant palm from my Buddha stand grabbed him as I started saying a Buddhist chant:

"Amitabh, go and be reborn Aatrox, be better in your next life." my ki from the Buddha stand fully enveloped him and he burnt into cinders transforming into ash and drifting down, his sword was destroyed with him nothing remained of him, only ash.

The wardens of hell who were watching from a distance approached me and bowed, there were all types of demons in hell, but the wardens were mostly horned demons the higher level of demons. They were the most humanoid of the bunch of demons as well.

The captain of the wardens got up and said:

"Send our regards to King Yemma when you get out."

I nodded my head towards him as one warden showed me the exit of hell, It was a crevice that was going up as a multitude of stairs were inside of it.

As I got up the stairs I saw that the final exit was blocked and I pushed the thing that was blocking it, as I got outside I was surprised to see a giant red man with a beard and horns who wore a purple suit, on his head he wore a helmet that had the Kanji for Yamma.

He opened his book at a certain page and said:

"Krillin, human born on Earth, extremely powerful,

Status: alive,

Great good karma,

Chance of getting into heaven: guaranteed."

I bowed towards King Yemma and said:

"The captain of the wardens down below sends his regards King Yemma."

Yemma nodded towards my words and he muttered something about his mahogany table, and how he wanted to see his children and that Karen was a ruthless bitch.

I sweatdropped the image of the great King Yemma who judged if souls go to hell or heaven dropped a bit in my mind.

I took my leave and decided to report to King Kai as well before I took my leave back to the mortal realm.

I teleported towards King Kai's planet and told him what happened he nodded his head happily and his whiskers moved in a certain pattern, he called out loud:

"Gregory, Bubbles, Krillin did it, it's time for celebration!"

Out of his house came a monkey and a big bug, They all started dancing in a happy mood and invited me to share lunch with them.

I accepted after fighting ten days with a world annihilator demon I was a bit hungry after I ate I bid my goodbyes towards the trio and teleported back towards my ship. I made sure to hide it on an abandoned asteroid to make sure no one got their hands on it.

There were still three more years before I would go back to earth so I just continued to train, six more months gone by and my power level increased to almost seven million, I was sure that by now I could handle Cooler, but it wasn't the time yet.

I needed to thoroughly annihilate him and his family, while Frieza would be a piece of cake now, I didn't know how strong King Cold was, in the anime he was killed by Trunks while he was in his second form only. But this universe that I was in was quite a bit different than what I truly remembered. Goku was stronger in this universe than in the original when he started his journey.

I realized this wasn't the original Dragon ball universe, I was wrong... I didn't question how strong Cooler was as I didn't truly know who Cooler is, From what I observed of him he should be Frieza's sibling, Frieza talked a bit about his family when he fought on Namek but didn't mention a brother.

I thought that he only had a father, but it seems I was wrong. As everything was different than the original, I wasn't sure if the events would play normally either, up until now it was the same but what if?

I shook my head what would come would come I just needed to be prepared for it, and the best preparation was higher strength!

I still had two and a half years left before it was time to come back to Earth, I promised them that I would come back, and I couldn't truly break my promise to my closest family and friends.

I continued to train under high gravity while simulating the fight with Cooler again, seeing what I could have done better and what I have done wrong. and I could say, I did everything wrong, I wasn't prepared for Cooler to appear and he did quite the big number on me, I would have died a nameless grave on that planet if it wasn't for my healing factor and Cooler underestimating me.

I realized that I was still too immature, knowledge and mental strength didn't mean wisdom, I was still acting dumbly, maybe I shouldn't have had sex with Jeice's sister either? even though she was in heat it was wrong for me to take advantage of her. She wasn't thinking straight I gave her hope and took it from her when I left leaving her on a planet that feared her whole being. Maybe I wasn't such a good person I thought I was.

Having sex with that princess was a different thing, it was more of a political thing, her father insisted on it as well, and their culture was different from Earth's. Space Australia was Australia but in space.

Maybe I just took her sex for granted? In my last life, I didn't have many sexual encounters and most were paid for, not one of them were emotionally involved.

Maybe Jeica lied to me? I wasn't sure of it, maybe she was just lonely and wanted someone to live with her, maybe that was her way of expressing her wish of me staying with her on a planet that rejected her.

I bumped my head into the ships hard metal walls, women were troublesome, I couldn't get them at all, and I just realized I might not get with eighteen either, this universe was too different, I wasn't sure what her personality would be, Guru and Popo weren't the same, new people I didn't know off popped everywhere.

This was kind of frustrating everything was going on all nice up till now, I guess I should think twice when a hot alien lady throws herself in my arms and says fuck me.

Whatever I promised Jeica I would get Jeice to come back to space Australia and I will do it, there was still a lot of time till the Namek Saga so I could train enough.

I was still human in the end, I wasn't sure of many things and I could make mistakes so I got up from my sulky mood and continued my training.

I would make it up for Jeica in the future, eighteen was still an unknown factor, I will try to live a little more till I meet her.

I continued my training and six more months gone by, two more years till Raditz came, my power level was nearing nine million and I couldn't improve my sword skill's anymore as I had no sparring partners.

I could now fully fuse my super mode with Godspeed and the full power technique without much strain, I still couldn't use it with Kaioken consistently though.

I drifted in space as my spaceship was going around in random patterns, the spaceship speed was unrivaled and it could get from galaxy to galaxy in months I was currently in the west galaxy.

I was just touring the galaxy nothing big was happening currently everything was peaceful, even though the Kold Empire monopolized most of the universe they didn't truly rule all of it.

I made my way around different planets and fought different martial arts masters lowering my power level to match theirs to sharpen my skills, I fought different kind of races that used different type of martial arts that matched their body types, some had liquid bodies, some gaseous bodies, some had four arms and focused on strength, some focused on defense while other could redirect your attack with their body's force alone.

Some martial arts weren't learnable due to the different physiques but I could get some insights that would refine my skill from them.

As I wandered the universe and beat a bit of the baddie here and there nothing else major happened, my power level didn't increase by a lot as I focused on refining my skills and I reached the power level of ten million.

There was only half a year left before Raditz was supposed to arrive on Earth, and somehow I found myself in the north galaxy. I didn't control the direction the spaceship flew in so I randomly found myself in different galaxies every time I finished one of my training sessions.

I took some fruit yogurt out of the spaceships fridge and ate it after a long training session cold yogurt was especially delicious.

There wasn't much to do anymore till Raditz came so I decided to wander the north galaxy basically on foot.

I put the spaceship in its capsule form pocketed it and started to fly around in space, I didn't fly randomly but more near star clusters that had ki signatures. Even though I journeyed trough a bunch of galaxies I didn't visit every planet.

I visited planets ranging from bug people to elves that had magical civilization and even monsters who were in the stone ages, seeing such different communities and how other races lived their lives brought a qualitative change towards my mind and soul. It was also made me realize that I wasn't the most sociable guy ever and that I didn't show as much emotion as I was supposed to. I didn't know what to think about that realization.

I was just different, as I wandered the north galaxy in the continuity of my spiritual journey I found a habituated desert planet. This planet was special as its inhabitants believed in Buddhism. There were Buddha statues everywhere and everyone wore monk robes as they meditated, there were temples everywhere on the planet.

I sat down under a buddha statue and started to think... was Buddha an actual god in the dragon ball universe as well? He never appeared in the anime, even in super where gods were appearing everywhere.

There was a plaque under the buddha statue that read in common language:

"Buddha exists in one heart, it's hard to cut off all ties to earthly needs to ascend to nirvana if you can't do it that's not the only way, Buddha is benevolent and gives many ways, find your way inside your heart, don't follow the words of other's as they would murk your mind and way, follow yourself and you will be enlightened."

I contemplated the words but this mantra was so profound that even my soul couldn't understand it thoroughly, it was a different type of technique that I couldn't understand yet. It took me two months to wander around the galaxy and two more months I just stood here to understand the mantra.

There were only two months left before Raditz came to Earth. I wasn't in a hurry Goku would be able to beat him in a jiffy, I decided to continue my wandering around the universe, I made sure to stir off the Kold family planets, I didn't need to meet Frieza yet, I didn't know those men were Cooler's and who Cooler truly was till it was too late. Now thing's could be avoidable. I wasn't sure if Frieza was stronger than the original so I didn't want to meet him yet.

Wandering around the universe to see it's wonders was beautiful, this was my holiday before the android saga would come.

Two more months went by and it was time to go back to Earth, wandering universe seven was interesting, it helped me calm myself both spiritually and physically. After I realized how much of a jerk I was.

I put two fingers on my forehead and concentrated, it was time to go back home, I found Kami's energy and teleported.

I was back on the lookout.
