Capítulo 11: Chapter 11: Ultra Divine Water (2)

A week passed since Gohan decided to train in Korin's tower, but he still hadn't achieved his goal. It's not that he couldn't pull it off, but ever since Karin advised him to free his mind and reduce the number of his movements, he began to meditate.

Gohan sat on the ground totally focused on his meditation, without moving a single inch and the hermit looked at him curiously.

'He's been like this all week, I wonder what he's doing?' Korin had no answers and that made him more intrigued about the boy.

He had to admit that Gohan's level of concentration was pretty good for just a kid, in few humans he had noticed that ability.

"Oh" Master Korin whispered in surprise as Gohan suddenly started to slowly get up and do some warm-ups.

'Now I should be able to take the vase, my Ki control at this point is perfect...' Gohan asked smiling and turned to Korin. He had used these seven days to free his mind and manipulate his Ki more masterfully. In addition, he developed a strategy to catch that vase.

"I see you're ready, why don't you try again kid?" the master asked, holding out his staff along with the vase.

"Right now... I'm going to make it on the first try" said the boy with a big smile and got in position to finally catch that damn vase. If his plan didn't fail, he should be able to catch it.

Hermit Korin was taken aback by such a confident statement. His astonishment grew when the boy appeared in front of him, and when he wanted to avoid him, he saw that Gohan hadn't moved from where he was initially.

"What's wrong master? Surprised?" Gohan asked from the same spot as before and crossed his arms with a smirk.

'An illusion? It's not possible... I felt the Ki of him right in front of me, or did he just move at that incredible speed?' Korin wondered bewildered.

"Alright master, now I'm going to be serious" Gohan frowned and got ready to take the pitcher of water, "Kame...Hame...HAAA!" the boy yelled.

The energy blast was fired towards Master Korin, who jumped to avoid it. Otherwise, he might have gotten hurt. What Korin didn't know, is that the boy minimized the attack thanks to his amazing Ki control.

'Well, here's my chance,' Gohan mused, smiling victoriously and jumping in the same direction as the old master, "Zanzōken!"

Korin prepared to dodge again as Gohan jumped at him but was stunned to see several copies of the kid.

'Smart, but not enough' the master moved through the copies and positioned himself at the other end of the gazebo, "You missed ag... what?!"

The hermit was speechless when he saw Gohan landing on the ground with the vase in hand, at what point had he taken it from him?

"You were so focused on getting around me that he stopped paying attention to the vase, and that's where I took advantage" replied the minor smiling.

Korin smiled at that stroking his whiskers. It had been a pretty good strategy, better than he had expected.

"Congratulations boy, you did it, you can drink the holy water" the master commented but Gohan denied, "Wasn't it your wish to drink the water?"

"Yes, but not that water" Gohan smiled as Master Korin listened expectantly, "I want to drink the ultra divine water, the one that gives incredible powers"

"You know you probably won't survive, don't you? Quite a few people before you tried and died" warned the master.

"Dad managed to survive, so I have my options" replied the boy without too much concern, "So... will you give it to me?"

"Okay, follow me child" the master led him into the viewpoint to give him the water of the gods that would awaken his true power.

The minor admired the place with many doubts, who were the guardians of the earth before Kami was? That was very intriguing.

'It's not important anyway...although I'd like to know who created the hyperbolic time chamber' the boy shook his head, "So this is it?"

Hermit Korin held out a glass bottle with various inscriptions on it. Gohan took the container and felt a slight chill.

"Go ahead, it's all yours" Master Korin told him and the little boy nodded a little worried, remembering what his father suffered when he drank it.

'No fear,' Gohan said to himself, opening the cap of the bottle and without thinking twice he took a drink from it. And then came the worst, "AAAHH!"

Gohan screamed with pain all over his body and fell to the ground clutching his throat. He never thought he would hurt so much.

"I can't take it anymore!" yelled the boy with his hands on his head, he felt as if his body was burning in a sea of fire.

Various images of his life began to flash in his mind. Memories of his previous life and memories after his transmigration.

'Mom...' the boy could see the image of the woman he raised in his first life. But he also saw his current life parents Son Goku and Chi-Chi.

'No...I'm not Tristan Black anymore... I'm Son Gohan now!' exclaimed the little boy gathering all his willpower to be able to stand up.

"This child is…" murmured the hermit master surprised at the unbreakable will that the minor was showing, "Impressive"

Gohan got up panting heavily. He inhaled and exhaled at an inordinate rate while his face was dripping with sweat.

'I-I got it, one more second and I would have died' Gohan thought looking at his hands, 'I feel like my power has increased, I'm over 400 units'

But more specifically, his base power had increased to 450 units. And according to his calculations if he released his Ki to the maximum it would reach 852 units. And all that in just one week.

The burning sensation that subdued his body disappeared completely and suddenly all his muscles relaxed, he almost didn't tell.

"Incredible little one, you were able to withstand the power of the ultra divine water" Korin congratulated him smiling, "Now you can go train with Kami-sama"

"Thank you for everything teacher, I promise I'll do my best" Gohan asserted squeezing his fist with a smile full of determination.

"The enemies that approach are extremely powerful, you have to train a lot if you want to protect the Earth" the hermit Korin advised him.

"This will be master" Gohan nodded, he had already outlined a training plan that would be productive to increase his powers.

"Here are the last seeds I was able to collect, manage them well" Korin gave him three Senzu beans, "Take care... Son Gohan"

Gohan nodded and with a smile he said goodbye to the teacher. Once he got outside, he called the flying nimbus and climbed towards Kami-sama's watchtower.

'He has a great future ahead of him, but not everything will be easy for him,' thought Korin, seeing how the little boy ascended to continue training.

The ascent continued until he reached the palace and got off the flying nimbus. He would finally start training for real, he still had a year left.

'That Ki...' Gohan felt a familiar Ki but he didn't pay much attention. He walked until a silhouette appeared sitting before him, "Piccolo?!

The Namekian was meditating, but when he heard Gohan's voice he immediately opened his eyes, because he had been waiting for him.

"It's about time brat, don't think I'm here to train with Kami" Piccolo spoke to him crossing his arms, "I came to train you"

'Hey? This doesn't happen at any time in the original story, I changed the events again' asked the younger Son, smiling nervously. And besides, he knew that Piccolo hated Kami, so this didn't make much sense, what had happened for Piccolo to come?

Piccolo had heard that the minor would be trained in Kami's watchtower, but he had witnessed the enormous potential that the child displayed. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to train him in the face of the future Saiyan threat.

"Well, it wouldn't be bad to have a training partner" Gohan answered and Piccolo gave him an angry look with a vein on his head, "That is if Kami-sama accepts it, since after all it is his palace" added the boy looking at the guardian, who was off to the side with Mr Popo.

"You can train as much as you want little one, it was surprising to see Piccolo in this place" declared Kami looking at his counterpart in surprise.

"Don't mention it!" Piccolo snorted before turning to Gohan, "Fight me brat, I want to feel what your power is at its highest level!" yelled the namekian getting up to fight.

'My original plan was to train here for three months and then another six with Piccolo, but this changes everything' Gohan asked with an animated smile. If he trained here with Piccolo, the two of them would become quite strong. More than he had expected.

And he prepared to attack Piccolo. The Saiyans would come within a year and there was no time to waste. He had to increase his powers.
