#VEGITO POV#
"Something sealed inside the sword...?" I ask Shin despite already knowing of the situation
"A being to be precise and from what I can hear it screaming... it's saying that it has the answers to our current problem," Shin responds back
"You can talk to it?"
"No...exactly...the being inside is shouting it through a form of telepathy using magic that is quite honestly rather ancient by my knowledge. The being is basically using it to shout to me and much to my surprise, only Kibito and I can hear due to a special form of magic that it is using," He explains
"A special form of magic?" I ask him
"Don't worry about it. Going back to the sword, I have reason to believe that the being inside can be trusted,"
"Why can he be trusted?" I ask him
"That goes back to the form of magic that he is using, it is something that I only ever glimpsed by the previous Grand Supreme Kai," He answers me while letting out a sad sigh
"I myself am a mere novice using this kind of magic as I have had to learn for myself how to use it and improve upon it," He continues with a weird look on his face
"Do you...do you think a previous Grand Supreme Kai could be sealed inside in case he was ever needed?" I ask him sort of out of the blue as he lets out a gasp in shock before he starts to think about it seriously moments later
"That...could explain why he was...umm, I am not sure, but the prospect of a Grand Supreme Kai of the past still being around would be an immense boon, who knows what sort of wisdom such a Kai would be capable of providing," He says getting rather excited and although I know that there is one sealed inside, I have to manipulate the situation so that I don't expose myself
"Hold on, I just suggested, I might be wrong about it entirely we can't exactly go around unsealing a being inside of a weapon," I tell him trying to get him to calm down
"Oh, I apologize for my outburst but the thought that I might not be as alone as I thought I was, brought me an unexpected amount of joy," He says with a sheepish look
"So...if I am right, how would we unseal the being inside?" I ask while sighing
"Well...that is something that will prove incredibly difficult. As the complexity of the seal is beyond even me at the moment, perhaps if I had a few million years or so, I may be able to unseal it by myself," He says rubbing his chin while I am floored by that
What the fuck
What kind of bullshit form of magic is that?
Millions of years just to unseal Old Kai
Damn
A chill runs up my spine
I know Beerus was the one who put Old Kai in there....but he could also have told Whis to seal him inside
Either way, that is utterly horrifying to learn
Could magic rival Ki in Dragon Ball?
I think back to certain parts that I remember about magic and genuinely wonder about it as I think back on the uses of magic that were shown
Usually, it was far more mysterious as they never showed how one improves their use of magic
A thought enters my mind
If God Ki is a far more potent form of Ki, could magic have a godly equivalent to it as well?
Shin did say that only he and Kibito were able to hear the voice inside of the sword through a special form of magic
Could it be the godly equivalent of it?
I shake my head as Shin sits down to think about it
I better get things going
"Perhaps we are overthinking it, you said the sword is not really that special, maybe we can break the sword itself using physical means," I tell him as he blinks at the
"Maybe...the craftsmanship of the sword may look good but it definitely isn't. It's honestly more of a decorative piece than anything. Well...it couldn't here to try," he says after a few minutes
"Let me call over Gohan and Kibito," He says as he goes quiet and I sense Gohan and Kibito making their way over as I narrow my eyes as I notice something that I didn't notice before
I can sense Kibito and Shin but for some reason, their Ki feels...
Is that God Ki...
Am I able to sense God Ki
Since when...oh right, Sacred World of the Kais
It must be filled with God Ki all around
No...I don't think I can sense God Ki, but I can at least notice it
Both of their Ki's feel normal, yet I can tell that they have another form of it inside of their Kis
Almost like engravings surrounding their Ki
Wow...I never thought I would compare God Ki with engravings but that is as close as I can refer to it at the moment
I don't know much about God Ki but to be honest, I had my thoughts on it before
Goku and Vegeta trained to prevent their Ki from leaking
Could it be that God's Ki is the result of their Ki being sort of pressed down and condensed inside of them and it reached a point where their Ki underwent a qualitative increase all the way for it to become God Ki
If so...that seems completely impossible for me to do at the moment
I have been practicing that same thing ever since I got here and to be honest, I have almost given up on it
Preventing Ki from leaking is like trying to prevent myself from sweating
I probably don't have the necessary Ki control for such a thing and I don't have 5 Super Saiyans lying around that can perform the ritual on me so that I can get God Ki
"We are here," Gohan says while moving gently placing the Z-sword on the ground
"Thank you, Gohan...now, I am about to tell you my discovery about the Z-sword, Kibito is already aware of it, but it would help us all if you were to learn more about it,"
#GOKU POV#
"I wasn't strong enough Krillin and at this point, I am not sure how to get even stronger at the moment," I tell him as I look at the ground completely disappointed in myself
All these years training in Otherworld, I still lost
I trained with incredible martial artists that taught me a lot but it wasn't enough
This time...it wasn't enough
"I am not sure how to move forward from here either," Piccolo says to the side as he looks over in the distance to the checking station for the afterlife
"Hey what about that Great Ape form of yours, maybe you can use it like Vegito did, he was able to access a form of it while still staying small, maybe you can ask him if you can get it too," Krillin suggests as I blink at that
"I forgot about it," I say while thinking about that form
Even when Yenma offered me a body with my tail, I refused as I killed Grandpa Gohan...
