Grand Priest's previous actions had truly scared Beerus. He never knew when the Grand Priest might change his mind again! Therefore, it was essential to improve the strength of all participants immediately.
"Goten, our 7th Universe participants should be enough now, right?" Beerus asked.
When they had contested against the Sixth Universe before, they had gathered five participants. With Goku and the others now resurrected, it made for five more people, rounding out to ten participants. This was thanks to Goten's foresight; otherwise, it would have been too late to find the other five participants now. Even if Goku and the others were resurrected at this late stage, their strength wouldn't match the required level.
"Yes, it's just right now," Goten confirmed. "I just hope they don't change their mind halfway through!" The change of mind he referred to was not from the participants of the Seventh Universe but from Zeno and the Grand Priest. If they didn't allow him to participate, the Seventh Universe would be one person short and significantly weakened.
"That's good," Beerus nodded. "We still have more than 40 hours left. If all the participants have been gathered, then everyone can continue to train. Although our Universe has a great chance of winning this time, we must not relax!"
Beerus's serious tone was rare. Losing the game this time meant the Seventh Universe would disappear on the spot. As its Hakaishin, he couldn't let that happen.
"That's right, then you guys should train with Whis first! I'm going to Earth; there are still some unresolved things that need to be taken care of," Goten said. With his current strength, even Jiren from the 11th Universe was just a minor character. However, the real dangers were Grand Priest and Zeno. They could kill him instantly.
This recent match with the Gods made Goten stand out, which wasn't necessarily good. Grand Priest's actions suggested he might be wary of Goten's strength. Goten needed to consider everything carefully and prepare for the worst situations to survive in this dangerous world.
"Fine! If that's the case, then go! Anyway, with your current strength, even if you don't train, it is estimated that mortals in other universes cannot be your opponent!" Beerus said confidently. Goten could easily defeat five Hakaishin, and there were no mortals in other universes who could match that level of power.
A few minutes later, Whis took Beerus and the others to a mysterious place to start training. The harsh environment and extended time there would help them improve faster.
After everyone left to train, Goten used Kai Kai and arrived at a desolate planet on the edge of the Western Galaxy. He didn't join Whis and the others for training because he had his own plan: to use the Super Dragon Balls to make a wish. He had acquired the Super Dragon Balls earlier but never had the time to use them. Now, with the Tournament of Power using the Super Dragon Balls as the final prize, he needed to make his wish before Zeno and the Grand Priest took them back.
There were still two days before the competition, so he had to act quickly. Any cooldown period would be dealt with by Zeno and Grand Priest, given their immense power.
After arriving on the remote planet in the Western Galaxy, Goten sensed no signs of biological activity. The surrounding planets were also desolate with very few living creatures. Even if some uncontrollable events destroyed several planets, it wouldn't cause significant damage.
Having learned the language of the gods from Shin, Goten decided on the location. With a thought, seven Super Dragon Balls flew out from his storage space and formed a circle around the planet, fitting together perfectly. Seven huge Super Dragon Balls emitted a yellow light, ready for his wish.
"Ć̴̲o̸̢͋m̷̯̔e̸̱͐ ̷̟̊f̷͚̚ô̷̦r̶͙̅t̵̰̐h̵̲̎,̶̛̮ ̵̥̇D̵̡̊r̵̪̂á̷̰g̷͙̑o̶̼͒n̷͚̅ ̴̣̕õ̸̠f̴͓͊ ̸͔͌t̷̝͒h̵̼͆e̸͒͜ ̸͔͛Ḡ̶̱ȯ̷͜d̶͍͗s̶̝͠,̶̜̋ ̴͉̂ã̴̤n̵̺̋d̵͉̽ ̶̥͂g̴̪̎ṛ̶͑a̴͖͘n̵̟͗t̵̖̍ ̶̨̀m̷̈́͜y̷̟͝ ̶̯͂ẇ̶̰i̵̮͝s̷̖̕ĥ̸͔ ̷̫̅p̵͉̕r̵̝̈́e̶͈͠t̷̼͝ť̵̮ȳ̷͈ ̵̼̇p̸͍͝e̵͍̋ȁ̵̡s̷̞͗!"
Goten invoked the summoning spell in the language of the Gods, as Whis had done before to summon Super Shenron.
Instantly, the seven brilliant yellow Super Dragon Balls burst into dazzling golden light, enveloping the entire Western Galaxy in a golden glow. A few seconds later, a golden light shot into the sky, transforming into a massive dragon. Super Shenron's entire body radiated a golden light, illuminating the vast universe that had undergone earth-shaking changes from its previous state.
Standing before the core of Super Shenron, Goten knew he was within the body of this mighty dragon. The dragon's incomparably thick voice rang out, "The person who summoned me, please tell me your wish. I can help you realize any wish."
"Super Shenron, please grant me Zeno's erasing power," Goten requested without hesitation. If he could gain Zeno's ability to erase, he wouldn't have to fear Zeno and the Grand Priest anymore.
"Ah... Sorry, but Dragon God Zalama-sama, who created me, doesn't have that ability. I can't make this wish come true. Please change it to another wish," Super Shenron responded with embarrassment.
If the original Dragon God Zalama had that kind of power, he wouldn't have been easily sealed by Zeno. So, a wish beyond the scope of the Super Shenron maker's strength was naturally impossible to realize.
"So... can I gain the ability to resist Zeno's erasure?" Goten asked, knowing that such a wish was unlikely to come true. He wasn't surprised.
This was the next best thing and immediately spoke again. It would be nice to gain the ability to block Zeno's power. At least in the future, there would be no risk of being wiped out anytime, anywhere.
"Ah... Sorry, I can't do this kind of thing," Super Shenron said awkwardly, shaking his head again. He didn't expect the wishes made by the mortal in front of him to be so perverse! Even Zalama, the creator of the Super Shenron, never had such power. Naturally, he couldn't grant it either.
"This... you call this being able to grant any wish? Looks like I expected too much from you, Super Shenron," Goten said, a little speechlessly. If these wishes couldn't be fulfilled, then the role of Super Shenron seemed a bit small!
He was also very curious why in Dragon Ball Super, Super Shenron was able to revive all the eight universes that Zeno wiped out after the Power Tournament. Why can't he give me the ability to resist Zeno's erasure now? Could it be that after the Tournament of Power, the wish to restore all the erased universes was not fulfilled by Super Shenron, but by Zeno and the Grand Priest themselves?
Although this kind of speculation made Goten feel a little dubious, it was not impossible. Although the Dragon God Zalama was very strong, he definitely had no ability to compete with Zeno! There was also absolutely no ability to restore what Zeno had erased. Then, as the super Dragon Balls were created by the Dragon God Zalama, they naturally didn't have such ability.
"You should make another wish," Super Shenron's voice sounded again. His words were heavy, obviously filled with some embarrassment. Since its birth, no one had ever made such a strange wish. Whether it was the Hakaishin or other Gods, they never thought of rebelling against Zeno. Mortals today seemed to have great ambitions, to make a wish to obtain Zeno's power!
"Well, if this is the case, then help me develop the potential of my body to the maximum. Completely unlock the restriction of the bloodline in my body, allowing me to become stronger without limit," Goten said, changing his wish. In fact, he initially wanted to wish for the Angel's bloodline or the abilities that Angels possessed. But he realized that such a wish was a bit too small. His strength would surpass the level of Angels sooner or later, and that day was definitely not far away!
If he made this wish, it would have no effect after his strength surpassed that of an Angel. And an Angel's upper limit was not very high, at least not higher than Zeno and the Grand Priest! Therefore, he decided to wish to develop all the potential in his body and let his bloodline grow without limit. In this way, he could definitely surpass Angels in a short time! He might even become a true top God who could surpass Zeno and the Grand Priest someday.
"Okay, I can help you realize your wish," Super Shenron immediately agreed. There was an obvious sigh of relief in his voice. This guy finally chose a more normal wish. Then, a scarlet light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I have helped you realize your wish. All your potential has been released, and the upper limit of your bloodline has also been raised to the extreme. Farewell, until next time," Super Shenron said. After his voice fell, his body instantly turned into seven golden rays of light and then disappeared, as if fleeing in a hurry.
After Super Shenron developed his potential, Goten felt subtle changes in his body. It was as if there was an extra spring in his body. Power was like spring water, constantly emerging from his body. Every minute and every second, the power was constantly getting stronger. This speed was obviously much faster than before!
"Is this the super bloodline after the potential was developed by Super Shenron? It seems that this wish was not bad at all. Probably even better than gaining the ability to prevent Zeno's erasure!" Goten said to himself happily, feeling the changes in his body and the continuous growth of his strength.
Not only had he fully developed all the potential in his body, but the upper limit of his bloodline had also been raised to the extreme. In other words, his future achievements would definitely be very high. Saiyans had always been without limits. And as the legendary Super Saiyan, there would be no limit.
After a while, the surroundings had fully returned to normal. The seven Super Dragon Balls also disappeared without a trace.
"Looks like it's time to go home!" Goten muttered to himself, looking at the vast universe around him.
Then, in an instant, his body flashed and disappeared from the West Galaxy. When he reappeared, he was already at Earth's Mount Paozu. After knocking on the door, he saw Chichi and Videl cooking.
"Goten is back!" Chichi exclaimed happily. "It's just in time for dinner, so hurry up and join us!"
Videl thoughtfully moved a chair for him. "Well, thanks!" Goten nodded quickly. Watching the two busy in the kitchen, he felt a rare sense of peace. Perhaps only at home could he forget about training, forget about powerful opponents, and enjoy this sense of security.
"Mom! I have good news for you," Goten said with a smile, looking at the busy Chichi. Goku and Gohan had been resurrected, and it was time to let Chichi know the good news. After all, she missed Goku and Gohan more than anyone.
"Ah! What good news?" Chichi asked casually. "You won't tell me that you brought me another daughter-in-law from another place again! Let me tell you, I've already accepted Videl, and I won't accept others."
These days, if it wasn't for Videl who was always by her side, life would be rather boring. She had long regarded Videl as her daughter-in-law. Hearing this, Videl blushed instantly.
Goten glanced at Videl.
Videl had been waiting for so long. It seemed that after the Tournament of Power, it was time to give Videl a definite answer. It wasn't fair to keep her waiting indefinitely.
"Of course not!" Goten shook his head. "Father and Gohan have been revived by Beerus! Now they are training on Beerus planet, and then they will participate in the Tournament of Power held by the powerhouses all over the multiverse. After the Tournament of Power is over, we'll come home together."
Although calling him 'Father' felt a little uncomfortable, Goten knew he had to say it in front of Chichi.
Bang Dang
Chichi's body froze suddenly, and the plate she was washing fell to the ground. She turned her head and asked excitedly, "Really? Is this true, Goten? Are your father and Gohan really resurrected?"
For the past eight years, she had dreamed about the resurrection of Goku and Gohan. But they had always refused, so she didn't think about using the Dragon Balls to make a wish to revive them! She didn't expect them to be revived now. Their family could finally reunite properly.
"Yes, it's true! Father and Gohan have indeed been revived!" Goten said. "In two and a half days, I'll bring them back home."
Seeing Chichi's happy appearance, Goten was also very happy. Perhaps seeing Chichi happy was the thing that made him happiest.
"Well, good... very good!" Chichi's excited eyes filled with tears. After eight long years, their family could finally be reunited.
It's comming!
