After charging his Ki, Goku lunged at Aeos. His fist rushed towards her.
The Goddess casually raised her hand and caught his fist. There was a smile on her lips as she was impressed by the force behind his punch.
"Curious way of using magic," the blue-haired girl commented as she sensed how he amplified his punches.
"Such a method increases your fighting force by around 20%. If you could focus on this to a higher level, it would be another multiplier to your already absurd Super Saiyan transformation."
She casually explained what he was doing while parrying and blocking all of his moves with a single hand.
Goku jumped back as he realised that the gap between them was enormous.
As he is right, he is barely stronger than what Nappa should be at this point, while Aios is like Frieza in his last form.
There is no competition!
'In that case…'
The Kai lowered her hand as she sensed something strange from Goku.
"...What are you—"
Her eyes widened to a huge degree as his power levels just went through the roof!
Goku's hair turned black as it got longer, while his cyan eyes turned yellow. A red aura surrounded him.
Aeos took a step back as she knew what this was!
'Super Saiyan 4!?'
Out of nowhere, Adult Goku rushed at her with absurd power and delivered a powerful punch to her gut.
"Ooof!!!" The blue-haired Kai coughed blood as she sensed all of her organs rattle, sending her flying into a tree.
The Super Saiyan 4 Goku made a hand motion as if he was preparing to launch something.
"ENOUGH!!!"
A powerful shockwave rushed at Goku, who ended up losing his transformation and passing out on the spot.
"..."
Aeos walked out from the tree and over to his side. She looked perplexed by what had just happened.
"...you are far too crazy to see that I was just trying to test you. There was no need to just try to kill yourself to win." She sighed before slightly blushing as she realised that if he didn't get her, he would die instead.
Is this Saiyan serious?
She sighed before looking at something interesting.
"So even now, he is still Super Saiyan." The girl mumbled at this interesting development.
"Just how much he trained to achieve that?"
After pondering for a bit, she used her Ki to envelope Goku in it before she flew with him back to the capsule house.
Once there, she laid him in bed and then used the new magic method to heal him.
"...What a hardheaded idiot. All of your muscles and bones broke from that transformation." She mumbled to herself as she finished healing before walking to the couch and sitting down there, closing her eyes and waiting for him to wake up.
A couple hours later, Goku's eyes snapped open as he sat down.
"Ahh, man, I lost."
"You won." Aeos countered before opening her eyes and looking at him.
"I never imagined that you could reach that transformation at such a time." She was very surprised to see him achieve THAT form!
"It was my trump card." He sighed as he inspected himself.
"I should have removed my weighted clothes as well."
The Supreme Kai of Time sighed when she heard that.
"No need. As I mentioned before, you have won. I wasn't serious when I said that you needed to win. No, what I wanted is to see how serious you were." She stood up from her seat and walked over to his side.
"And I saw enough. You were willing to die, which is crazy enough to understand how serious you are, even if, as you said, it was a 'straight thought'." She smirked when she reminded him what he had said to her hours ago.
"Well, I throw myself into things I decide to do. That battle was just like that. Since you wanted to test me and I needed to win, I used everything." Goku explained himself in a nervous voice as he watched her cold blue eyes analyse him.
"Fufufu, I see. It does make sense." She placed her right finger on her lips. The girl looked like she found something fascinating.
Then, out of nowhere, she ended up joining him in the bed, slightly snuggling him and starting to inspect his muscles.
"Your method of training is quite devious~ you would break your body then heal yourself, repeatedly. You were abusing your Saiyan physiology." She discovered one of his training secrets effortlessly.
"..."
"Cat got your tongue?" The Goddess teased him before wrapping her hands around him.
Honestly, the longer this was happening, the more he realised that he was getting into very deep shit…
But… his Saiyan blood is all but singing… all those fights with demons and weird time shenanigans…
Though Goku hasn't realised yet, Aeos is already plotting to manipulate future events in Goku's and her favour.
Since she is getting married and about to start living within this specific timeline, she is thinking about how to profit from it the best way possible.
"Fufufu~"
The Goddess poked his cheek as she saw him blush.
"Cute~"
His blushing cheeks got even redder as she was enjoying teasing him.
But then he had had enough! He turned towards her, wrapped his hands around her, and then pushed her to lie in bed.
"Oh? Bold." She commented with a small smile.
"Indeed! I am still sore from trying to blow myself up! So we will rest!"
The Goddess snorted, hearing how casually he mentioned trying to kill himself.
"That is fine with me. But, as your future wife, I expect you to try not to kill yourself. You don't want me to be a widow, hmm?"
"Quite manipulative, aren't you?" he asked with a twitchy smile, as expected of a Kai…
"I will do what is necessary for you to survive. That much should be obvious, even if it means guilt-tripping you into doing so." Her hand went to his hair, and she slightly changed her position into a proper hug before closing her eyes and proceeding to train. She sensed that Goku ended up falling asleep midway through listening to her words.
'Well, I will make sure he doesn't randomly die like his counterparts did before.'
The Blue-Haired Goddess recalled all the times he died.
~~~
Aeos looked at Goku, who was starting to climb the tower. She noticed that his clothes became extremely heavy, even for his Super Saiyan form.
'Smart way to use magic like this.'
As he was going up, she proceeded to fly and keep up with him.
Her gaze went up as she made sure Korin noticed her. Zeno forbid he would try to thunder strike her, and she would turn that cat into a coat!
Thankfully, nothing happened, as the cat was smart enough to understand who she was.
A couple of hours later, Goku was breathing heavily, and he didn't even reach halfway point.
Eventually, his hand slipped from sweat, and he was about to fall, but he used his tail to catch himself.
"There is no need for you to continue anymore today." Aeos floated over to him.
"No, I am fine." As he said that, he immediately recovered.
She immediately understood what he did! He used his magic to recover.
"...If you do that, then you will reach the tower by tonight." She almost pouted as she remembered that he had said that he wouldn't be reaching the peak of the tower in a single day!
"That was then. But a lot has changed. Since you are travelling with me, I don't need to fall just to speak with you."
"..."
The Supreme Kai of Time closed her eyes and sighed. There was a small blush on her cheeks.
"...I don't know how I should respond to this."
'And you are calling me devious and manipulative.'
"Very well. Then continue."
She flew back several metres and continued with her seal removal.
Goku nodded with a smirk before rising. As his body adjusted to the weight, the magic in his clothes increased once more, nearly causing him to slip several times.
Because he was a literal Super Saiyan, not just a transformation, his adaptability was even greater than that of a regular Saiyan. That means that he was improving just by climbing.
His climbing is no one the best sport, as it trains body coordination and balance on top of improving back muscles.
Around midnight, Goku flipped into the Korin's place.
The cat was waiting for them—of course it would. The all-seeing cat knew that the one who was travelling with the boy was a literal Deity! Not just any Deity, but Supreme Kai of Time.
"Welcome to my tower—"
"Not a word about who I am! There is a time and place for such a thing! Do you hear me?" Aeos used telepathy and spoke directly into the cat's mind.
"-Travellers…" Korin nearly called Aeos by her title, but he changed it at the last second when he heard her speak in his mind.
"Hello, Master Korin! I am Goku, and this is Aeos." Goku introduced himself and the girl next to him. When the hermit cat heard her name, it started to sweat profusely.
He was right not to strike her down with thunder, and he was right in his hunch. What is before him is a literal Deity from the highest echelons of Cosmos!
"Master Roshi sent me here after I was done with his training. He said that you could help me improve further." Goku ignored the cat's sweating and continued doing what he was there for anyway.
"Master Roshi? Is that kid still alive? I see… he did manage to climb the tower, and I did train him." The cat decided to ignore the Kai as much as possible, as it appears she is here because of Goku.
"Very well. However, if you want me to train you, then you need to capture me first. That is how I accept students."
"Alright." Goku took a couple of steps further as he was about to start.
"Do increase the weight of your clothes, Goku. The way you are right now, it will be easy for you to capture the cat." Aeos proceeded to float and cross legs in the air. The Kai flew back a little bit and gave them some space.
"You are right about that." The Saiyan placed his hand on his chest, and the blue parts of his clothing and shoes glowed.
"Good idea, Goku. Now come, try to capture me." Korin realised what was going on. The boy used his magic to make himself heavier and slower.
It makes sense, considering the boy is tens of times stronger than the cat hermit…
"Here I come!" The boy rushed towards the cat, who jumped away from its path. Goku swiftly changed direction as he followed after him.
Sure enough, the game of cat and mouse proceeded, making the Supreme Kai of Time sigh as she closed her eyes and returned to her training. She is close to that 2%...
~~~~~~Day Later~~~~~~
"Got you!" Bruised Goku was holding the cat hermit in his hands. There was a grin on his face.
"Not bad. Only a day. It took your old Master 3 years to catch me." The white cat explained to the Saiyan as the boy let the cat go.
"My training is quite specific. Unlike normal martial artists, I teach about self-awareness and observation, as well as Ki training and its mastery.
But it appears that you are quite good at all of it." The cat hermit sighed as he realised that Goku was even better at Ki, sensing that he was.
"There is one thing that I could teach you, and that is the far-seeing arts if you wish to learn them."
When Aeos heard that, she opened her eyes and looked at the cat.
What he just said is a higher form of telepathy used by higher realm beings to observe mortals. It's a borderline divine art.
The only reason the cat is suggesting such a thing is that Aeos is here, and the cat thinks that Kai is raising him for something.
That sounds like an awesome technique!" Goku has no idea why Korin wants to teach that, but his guess is that it's because Aeos is here, and the white cat is afraid of her wrath.
"Yes, well, before you learn it, I want you to drink this." The cat jumped to the centre of the tower platform.
Over there was a special bottle with liquid in it.
"This is Ultra Sacred Water. It's a magic liquid that releases your potential—that is, if you survive it, as it's also toxic."
When Goku heard that, he was about to take it, but he looked at his Fiance.
Aeos opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Drink it." She allowed him to drink. Considering he sort of promised that he wouldn't kill himself for the smallest of things…
The Saiyan nodded, took the bottle, and removed the cork before starting to drink.
After a couple of sips, he gave the bottle back to the cat and then… collapsed on the ground and started to trash around from pain.
Seeing Goku scream in pain, the Goddess looked at the cat.
"If he dies, you will join him, but unlike him, you won't be coming back from the dead."
The Blue-Haired Goddess coldly commented to the cat. She might know that Goku's success ratio is 100%, but it doesn't help that she needs to see him in pain.
"I-I am sure he will be fine. Since he is your student too…"
"Student? He is my future husband, you furball." Aeos clarified with an annoyed frown.
**GULP**
The cat realised that he was very close to dying!
"I-I-I see. In that case, he will be successful. I doubt anyone you have chosen is a weak individual." The cat tried to smooth his way into her good graces.
Snort
The Deity snorted as she closed her eyes and returned to her meditation.
A few minutes later, Goku calmed down and opened his eyes. He swiftly jumped back on his feet.
"Phew! It was painful, but it did help!" He said, and his hair started to glow as he ignited his Ki.
Korin needed to take several steps back as he sensed the Ki the boy was emitting.
"Not bad, Goku, your strength has doubled."
The Saiyan nodded at Aeos' comment. He should be around 10 to 11 thousand in fighting strength.
It's not bad, considering he still has quite a bit of time until the big fish start to appear.
After his power inspection, he looked at Korin.
"I am ready. We can start with the techniques."
"Alright. We can start with telepathy and then move on to the harder one." The Cat Hermit nodded and then proceeded to tell what he had planned for the freak boy.
"Okay."
~~~~~~Close to Two Months Later~~~~~~
Aeos looked at the clouds in front of her. Instead of looking at them, she was gazing far, far away. She realised that she was in the year 750. The 21st tournament should start in May, and Goku should fight there and win second place.
But none of that will happen in this timeline, as Korin told him about Kami, and he is thinking of entering the Lookout.
'However, this is not good.'
The blue-haired girl pondered this before turning around and looking at Goku.
"Goku, we need to speak."
"Hmm, What is it, Aeos?" The boy opened his eyes and looked at her.
"I did agree to be your wife. But to do my duties, I need a house, and my future husband has to have some sort of wealth to raise our future children," she explained to him.
"...I see. That is true." He stood up and looked at the clouds as well. He gazed far away and inspected a couple of things.
"I see. So you want me to enter the tournament."
The Goddess slightly pouted at him. He already saw through her idea.
"I do have a couple of ideas." He walked close to the hand railings and crossed his arms.
"If I win… for example, the next three tournaments, then I will be remembered as a legend—a legend everyone wants to learn from.
Then, I could open a dojo and eventually create a Martial Arts Sect.
With such a thing in place, I would never need to work or think of a way to find money."
"Fufufu. That was quite a scheme you came up with on the fly." The Goddess leaned on him and proceeded to snuggle. She was like a cat, while the real cat in person was quite a distance away. He was waiting for these two monsters to leave.
"Indeed, let's go. I haven't seen my fellow Turtle School students for a couple of months."
The blue-haired girl nodded as Goku collected his bag and then bit the cat hermit goodbye after taking a whole sack of senzu beans and Ultra Sacred Water.
'I am not a storage house for you to just take whatever you want, Goku! ' the cat complained to himself as the pair flew away toward Master Roshi's place.
Once they left, the Cat sighed in relief as his life finally returned to normal.
"Thank Kami, they left." The Hermit poured some green tea into a porcelain mug and sipped it before pondering the blonde kid and his learning curve.
"To think he would learn a divine art so easily."
What he taught Goku isn't an easy art. One needs to use Ki to tap deep to a spiritual level before using Ki to spread consciousness.
It's not magic; in fact, it's deeper than magic. It is an art meant for beings who are strong at a spiritual level. Such art is meant for a Guardian of a World, King Kai level being and, of course, Supreme Kai.
Aeos knows such art, but she allowed Korin to teach her future husband…
"I have no idea what is going on in that Kai's head. But is she ditching her work to be a regular wife?" The hermit cat is confused, that's for sure…
~~~
Goku grinned as he used his Farsight to gaze at what was on the other side of the planet or even further if he wanted! He could gaze far into space if he wanted!
Of course, he can't see very far with it yet. But he is certain that in the future, he will be able to gaze through the whole universe!
"Are you having fun, Goku?" Aeos knew what he was doing as they flew towards Roshi's island.
"I am. I already found where the tournament is going to happen and where my Master is," the Super Saiyan said to his Fiancée.
"Good."
She smiled at him as Goku's positiveness and constant giddiness started to rub on her.
Less than an hour later, they arrived at the training island where Krillin and Yamcha were preparing for their departure.
"Yo! Guys!"
Goku's voice brought the pair to stop whatever they were doing and gaze up.
"Goku—"
The pair were about to exclaim before stopping and looking at the person behind Goku…They paled… Even if Aeos is concealing 99.99% of her power, she is still far-far more powerful than anyone in this world…
"G-Goku, who is the girl?" Krillin asked while pointing his shaky finger.
"Oh! I did want to introduce her! This is my Fiance, Aios." Goku grinned as he introduced the blue-haired Goddess.
As the pair landed, the beauty slightly bowed as she introduced herself. Even if she is super powerful by this point, she is still courteous and will never embarrass her future husband in any sort of situation. Since she accepted all of it, she will play her part in all of it. It's one of the reasons she has not revealed who she is and will only reveal when the time is right, and Goku is strong enough.
"F-Fiance!!?"
Both Krillin and Yamcha's brains stopped for a second!
"I-I thought you went to train!!!" The bald monk complained. He looked both jealous and terrified as he sensed the girl's aura.
"I did. Maybe if you take this seriously, you will find your wife in your journeys." Goku smiled while saying that.
"I do take this seriously! Check this out!" Krillin clenched his fists as he called forth his aura.
A thin white aura surrounded the bald guy.
"Not bad." Goku nodded, sensing that Krillin had battle power of around 30 to 40.
'Not bad. He even affected his closest friends by making them work harder.'
Aeos, behind Goku, realised that he was already impacting the timeline by making his friends stronger than they should normally be.
'If we continue this way, then Tournament of Power won't be a close call. I doubt we can make the mortal index reach 7, but having a single strong planet before the tournament is a very high possibility.' The Supreme Kai of Time pondered as she looked at their power levels, which were higher than they should have been at this point in time.
"Hey, I am around that level as well!" Yamcha pointed a finger at himself as he powered up.
"Not bad. Let me increase the weight of your clothes." Goku walked towards the pair, who swiftly lost their arrogant looks and instead looked panicky.
"H-Hold it! Our clothes are already heavy, and it's done automatically!" Yamcha panicked as he took a step back.
"I know, but you should make your muscles burn." Goku smiled brightly while saying that.
"Goku, maybe you should let them rest. They still need to win second and third places for your school." Aeos interrupted and, by extension, saved Krillin and Yamcha from suffering.
"Second and Third?" The pair looked confused.
"Indeed. Since Goku will win the first spot, the other two are open for you two." The blue-haired Goddess said with extreme confidence, making the pair wonder.
"I guess… I mean, Goku… how strong are you now?" Krillin realised that what she said was true, and since Goku was back, he should be even stronger by this point.
"Well, if we compare to me before I left, then I am around three times stronger now."
**GULP**
"Don't look that surprised." The Super Saiyan rolled his eyes at the pair.
"You two are around three times stronger since you started as well."
His words did make sense. They wanted to compare themselves to the blonde, but they forgot how far they had gone as well!
"... I guess…"
"Regardless, I have something for you two."
Goku swiftly pulled out his backpack and started to skim through the content.
"Dragon balls, capsules, senzu beans… where did I put it…" the boy mumbled to himself as he eventually pulled out his plastic 2-litre bottle of water.
"This is Ultra Divine Water. It pulls out your inner potential, though it's slightly painful, and it could potentially kill you."
The Super Saiyan explained with a casual voice how they could die from this…
"...Ummm…"
"Is he serious?" Yamcha asked.
"He is… and his power doubled after taking it," Aeos said with crossed arms as she looked at her Fiance.
"You do know that it is dangerous."
She reminded him that it was a dangerous method to tap into inner potential.
"Yes, that is why you and I are here. We can use magic in case it goes wrong." Goku reminded her that they could heal in case something went wrong.
"...Well, you are not wrong." She nodded after thinking what he said.
"Bring two cups, and let's get started." The blue-haired Deity instructed the bald ex-monk, who listened to her without question.
Only after entering the house did he realise that the mysterious girl who arrived with Goku was not a stranger when it came to giving orders.
'UGH! Did Goku find himself a Princess for a wife!? Damn him!'
Krillin, at that moment, decided that he would travel to Korin's Tower! Climb it and learn from the Cat Hermit as well! And he might find himself a gorgeous babe, too!
The bald kid took a couple of cups and left the house as well.
"Here."
He gave the cups to Goku, who started to pour some Ultra Divine Water.
'It doesn't look that different from regular water.'
For a second, he wondered if Goku was messing with him! It doesn't look that different.
Master Roshi smiled as he got everything ready to compete in the tournament. A special wig has been prepared for him.
As he returned to the house, he looked confused. He saw Yamcha and Krillin rolling on the ground and screaming in pain.
But then he noticed Goku was there. Beside him was some sort of girl of similar size to the Saiyan.
Sweat rolled down his forehead as he sensed raw pressure radiating from this girl. She was not normal at all!
'This girl… what is she?'
"Goku, why are they on the ground?" Roshi walked over to his graduated student.
"Ultra Sacred Water."
Roshi's eyes widened when he heard that. He then looked at his two pupils.
The first one to recover was Krillin, who slowly stopped trashing as he slowly sat down and breath out heavily.
"...Phew… I felt like all of my organs would erupt." The ex-monk stood up and stretched out, but then he felt the boost in his power!
"W-Whoa!"
White aura erupted, similar to the flaming one of a Super Saiyan.
"Not bad, Krillin." Goku pulled out his scouter and did a scan on him.
"...97." The Super Saiyan whistled.
"That's me right before I became a Super Saiyan. Not bad you skipped years of training with this."
Goku felt slightly jealous as Krillin skipped years of torture he had endured. But it was fine since friends should enjoy the benefits of their friends as well.
"Hahaha, yeah, but it's thanks to the water." Krillin rubbed the back of his head as he joked.
"Yes, but your potential was drawn out. By all means, your training speed should pick up now." Goku explained before looking at Yamcha, who slowly stood up as well.
"What about me, Goku?"
"Let me check."
Once again, the Super Saiyan checked Yamcha with his scouter.
"Not bad as well, you are at 94." Goku removed his scouter and placed it back into his backpack.
"Nice! I will catch up to your power, Krillin! Just you wait!" Yamcha clenched his fist as he was ready to whoop ass in the tournament.
"Hehehe, you can try." The bald ex-monk showed a cocky smile.
"Well, since this worked." Roshi got everyone's attention as he looked at Goku.
"Since you are here, are you planning to compete?" The Hermit asked the blonde boy.
"Yes, I do. I kind of have a Fiance and need to start saving Zeni and stuff." The boy rubbed the back of his head as he chuckled.
"...Fiance!???" The old man dropped on his ass as he looked at the girl next to Goku.
"S-She is your Fiance!?"
The Turtle Hermit thought that she was his new Master. Her aura and refinement are those of a seasoned martial artist—maybe even someone more… divine.
How in Kami's name did he get someone like her!?
"Do you have a problem with me being Goku's Fiancée?" Aeos commented after seeing how Roshi reacted, her icy blue eyes digging deep into him.
"N-N-No! Such a lovely young lady fits Goku's nicely!" The old man waved his hands in defeat at the blue-haired Goddess.
"Fufufu, I see it's good to have the approval of Goku's Master." Aeos giggled as she crossed her hands. She especially liked the part where he called her 'Young'...
"Is it just me, or is Master Roshi very afraid of this girl?" Krillin whispered to Yamcha.
"Y-Yeah and I feel enormous pressure radiating from her." The Ex-Desert Bandit whispered back.
"Yeah! And Goku can easily ignore it! Damn, just how strong is he now?" The bald teen frowned as he said that.
"No idea, buddy."
~~~
Goku looked through the window of the plane towards the island where the 21st tournament will be held.
Aeos followed his gaze as she recalled all the stuff which would happen here. This place is very important for Goku's development as a warrior.
Or at least in the timelines that she knows. Well, this one will be important in its own way.
"The whole island is meant for the tournament!? Damn…" Krillin heard how Roshi explained to them.
"Yes. Most of it is wilderness, which you can use for training as well," Roshi explained to them.
"Cool!"
'And one of the waterfalls on this island has been used by Cell-X to breed armies of his Juniors… it was quite a spectacle,' Aeos recalled that one time.
As they arrived at the island, Roshi went to get them a hotel while the trio went to sign up.
"You know, after taking the sacred water, I don't sense anyone who could be our opposition," Yamcha commented as he used his Ki to sense other people's power levels. He tried to ignore Aeos' presence, which was like the sun interfering with his senses quite a bit.
"I know, right? But we could get some surprises." Krillin said that he saw a couple of people, and that made his blood boil.
The ex-monk saw a couple of bullies from his old temple.
As Krillin looked at them, Goku saw a parody of Bruce Lee and a black kickboxer… He recalled a couple of hilarious moments from this tournament.
"Oh, great… Are they going to make jokes about our height?" the Super Saiyan mumbled under his breath.
"Relax, it's going to be part of your training," Aeos whispered to him.
"Holding in your anger and overcoming it is necessary as well." She calmly explained to him.
"Ha, I know. I achieved Super Saiyan without rage, you know?" He dropped a bombshell that raised Aeos's eyebrows.
"... You are something else… Goku…"
"Well, hearing compliments from my Fiance is something I don't mind hearing." He smiled at her, and the blue-haired Goddess smiled back as she proceeded to snuggle, annoying Yamcha and Krillin, who were looking away, trying to find something interesting to discuss, as they could hear how those two started flirting!
Honestly, Goku's power is one thing, but… what impressed Yamcha and Krillin the most is how he can ignore that abnormal pressure Aeos releases!
~~~
After the registrations were completed, the group went to the waiting halls. Somehow… Aeos passed all of the securities and was next to Goku either way! She was supposed to be a simple spectator in this whole thing!
But she was right there!
"...Buddy… That girl…"
"Yeah… how did she do it?"
Both Yamcha and Krillin ignored that for now and instead looked at how Goku got up into the small ring where he would start fighting his first opponent.
It was some boxer guy…
Before the boxer could even get close to Goku, he flew out of the ring!
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Did he use his Kiai alone to send him flying?" Yamcha looked with wide eyes as if he had just witnessed something absurd!
"No… for a Kiai, you would see an actual aura. What Goku did is different… I think he simply gazed at the guy! He focused his Ki into his eyes and then just gazed at him!" Krillin, who has above-average control over Ki, has tried to sense what just happened!
"....Gaze? Do you even hear what you are saying!"
"It was what the Krillin said." Aeos walked over as she heard the conversation.
"...No way…"
"In Korin's tower, he learned to see into extreme distances and channel his spirit through Ki. What that boxer felt was a manifestation of his martial spirit. It was his will alone that sent him flying," the goddess explained to the pair.
"...Holy…"
**GULP**
Goku quickly got everyone's attention as he dominated the preliminaries. Same with other Turtle students.
"It appears the tournament will end in a single day." Aeos looked around as she realised that with everyone so weak in this tournament, the fights would be short and quick to the point, unlike the other two tournaments, where Goku was extremely important.
For example, in the other two tournaments, it is supposed to be important because Goku befriends Tien, and Piccolo starts changing his ways. Both of these combatants are important for the future of the world.
As the Goddess was pondering, the first fights started to happen, and Aeos frowned when she saw a woman who didn't mind undressing in front of people.
Her gaze went to Krillin and Yamcha, who looked at the woman with lewd gazes and giggles.
"...Ugh…"
Her hands trembled as she snapped her fingers and made them snap out. Her aura turned cold, and they started fearing for their life.
"Don't worry, that monk-like guy will defeat her." Goku didn't even look interested in the girl who was in lingerie…
Aeos looked at him, and his reaction was that She was curious…
"You are not interested in this… 'fighter'." Her voice was heavy with sarcasm when she called this girl 'Ranfan' a 'fighter'.
"Hmm? Why would I be interested in something as… basic…"
"...Basic?" She looked confused. Her gaze demands clarification.
"Sure, she might have 'looks,' but there are no substances in her." The Super Saiyan shrugged his hands. As he looked at how this Nam guy had sent her flying out of the ring, Roshi swiftly went over to 'check' her 'pulse'.
"...I see…" The Goddess hugged Goku's hand as she smiled. She realised one thing… Goku knows something about her. He might have the idea that she is a higher being, which means that he has some serious ambitions.
"Guys… First lesson: if you want to have a great girlfriend, you should not be affected by such cheap tricks." Goku looked at his friends, who were nearly trembling from Aeos's cold eyes.
"...We will keep this in mind."
After this fight, Krillin faced off against a dinosaur guy. He sent him flying. After that, Goku faced off against the monk guy who had sent the lingerie girl flying before.
As Goku walked into the arena, the monk had a serious look, sweat rolling down his forehead.
"...I can sense that you can sense my Ki."
The Super Saiyan Boy got into his martial arts stance.
"Since you removed that cheap excuse for martial Artists, I can only show my gratitude by taking this seriously."
"...By all means, youngster, show me what you can do."
After hearing that, Goku moved.
The guy fighting against Goku had a similar style of fighting, which reminded the Saiyan of a mix of Indian and Buddhist styles.
Whatever kicks came from Praying Mantis style were easily intercepted before Goku swirled his hands in a similar fashion to Taoist, and then into his pseudo-dragon mouth, a shockwave gently pushed the guy out of the arena.
The fight lasted less than 30 seconds, but it was enough to shock the whole audience into silence, as they had never seen Supernatural like this!
But this was only the beginning. The next fight was between Krillin and Yamcha, which was the audience's first time seeing afterimages and actual beam techniques.
"This is good, don't you think?" Aeos softly said to him.
"You are planning to reveal Ki to a larger audience, aren't you?" The Goddess started to wonder if her husband had some sort of foresight. In some weird way, her 'plots' always interweave with his.
"I do. My Sect will spread it to the whole world. It should give this world a better chance to survive when I am not here," he said with crossed arms.
"Fufufu, so you know that I will be taking you off-world in future?" She smiled slightly while saying that.
"The key point is whether it's you who takes me off-world OR me who takes you because I need a greater challenge."
The Goddess giggled louder as she realised that he was challenging her in some way. She is certain that he knows how absurdly strong she is, yet he is doing that…
With such confidence, no less.
"Indeed! You are just making me more interested in this whole thing~" She snuggled, ignoring the fighting in the ring.
Sure enough, Krillin won the match against Yamcha, leaving only Goku and the bald ex-monk.
'It appears Roshi skipped the whole tournament altogether as Jackie Chun…'
Goku casually remembered that Roshi was supposed to win the whole thing.
"Nice work, Krillin. Take a rest." Goku congratulated his friend, but Krillin's eyes rolled as he saw that his friend was snuggling with his Fiance while he was giving his all to beat Yamcha!
It's simply not fair!
