"It wasn't made to prove your strength or to show off how well you could knock out your opponents. It was made as a way for a person without power to defend themselves and others against overwhelming threats. It didn't always work, but those who were powerless decided to do something instead of nothing. I learned from my master, who learned from his master, who learned from his master, and so on. I think you get where I am going with this. Your own thoughts of what you can do are outweighing the thought of what you could do," Goku started. Karen had forgotten her frustration and just listened. The way Goku talked made her want to listen; he wasn't condescending, and he was definitely more patient than her.
"You have incredible strength, right? You can push planets, lift entire cities with ease, and all without Ki. Most would call you a god, and they'd be right. But do you know I have human friends who may not be on my level, but they are definitely the strongest humans alive, capable of destroying planets, stars, and who knows, maybe even a whole galaxy if they really tried to blow everything to pieces."
"What I am trying to say is, aren't you curious about what you can do once you master your Ki? If you can do all those amazing things by yourself, I think you have the potential to become very strong very fast," Goku summarized. Karen had never thought of that before.
'My strength amplified by my Ki?' she wondered. Even her Kryptonian mind couldn't imagine how much stronger she'd get.
"I mean, imagine what would happen if you got God Ki as well," Goku opened his eyes, placing his hand on his chin, a sparkle appearing in his eyes. "Now I'm excited! You'll be an awesome sparring partner!" Goku proclaimed. Karen was dumbfounded for a few seconds before she suppressed her rising laughter, stifling it as much as she felt reinvigorated at Goku's excitement about her progress.
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath through her nose, "I think I have an idea," Goku suddenly spoke, surprising her.
"We could be missing something. After all, you aren't human and you aren't Saiyan, so when you breathe, pull in enough for your body to become relaxed," Goku explained, rubbing his head. "You are the first Krypnonian I've trained," he explained as Karen couldn't hold it back and just started laughing. This Goku guy was weird, but he wasn't bad to have as a teacher.
Taking his advice, Karen took in a decent amount of air through her nose, surprising Goku. 'Did the air just get thinner?' he questioned as she let out the air gently.
Goku didn't know how he felt about recycled air, but it should be okay, right?
Gohan and the team finally arrived in the 7th Universe, landing on Beerus's planet.
"You're sure we aren't still on your planet?" Zatanna asked curiously. This place looked exactly like Gohan's planet.
"Yes, every Destroyer God has a world that looks exactly like this," Gohan explained as they approached Beerus and Whis.
"You've arrived," Beerus commented, noticing their arrival. He was already talking to Broly.
Gohan noticed the large Saiyan behind Beerus and Whis. Broly awkwardly bowed slightly at Gohan. Though the kid looked younger than him, he had the same attire as Beerus.
"This is Broly, the one your father told you about," Beerus explained. Gohan eyed him up and down curiously; this Saiyan didn't feel very powerful.
"I know what you're thinking, but even I can vouch for Broly's strength. He has real potential, but he can't control his full strength very well," Beerus explained as Broly looked disappointed.
'Wait, this guy is Kakarot's son?' Broly mused silently before he noticed Gohan approach him, he certainly bore a resemblance to Son Goku.
"Well, if Beerus says you're strong, I look forward to training with you," Gohan said with a smile, holding out his hand. Broly hadn't expected a Destroyer God to be this friendly, but it beat the terrifying presence Beerus constantly gave off.
Cheelai and Lemo approached from the tree castle in the distance, wearing aprons, and bowed before Gohan as well.
"You must be the fearsome Destroyer God Lord Beerus mentioned earlier. It is a pleasure to meet you, my lord!" Lemo said. Gohan chuckled slightly. He was getting used to it, but seeing everyone immediately bow was still a strange feeling. However, he had to get over it; he was a Destroyer God after all.
Gohan nodded at them. "I am Lord Gohan, God of Destruction of the 21st universe," he explained. Cheelai gulped lightly. 'I must be crazy! Why would I willingly be around gods is a mystery to me,' she mused to herself slightly before glancing at Broly with a slight smile. 'Maybe I am not that crazy...'
"These are inhabitants from my universe: Batgirl, Diana Prince, Zatanna, and my attendant, Vermont," Gohan introduced. The mortals exchanged pleasantries as Beerus slowly approached Gohan without anyone noticing before commenting with a smirk.
"Remember our little wager?" Beerus asked with a grin. Gohan remembered. 'Shoot! Strix has her emotions back and nothing has happened between her and Raditz,' Gohan purposefully scratched his chin.
"Really? What wager?" Gohan asked innocently, making Beerus's grin disappear and replaced by a glare.
"Oi! You aren't planning on pretending like it never happened, are you?" Beerus asked, looming over Gohan with an ominous glint in his eyes.
Gohan sweat-dropped, raising his hands and backing up slightly. "I-I am kidding, of course!" he said, dropping his head down in defeat.
Beerus smirked, puffing his chest out triumphantly. "HAHA! I'll be touring your universe in the future!" he grinned.
"It was just one galaxy!" Gohan reminded him as Beerus waved it off.
"Yeah, yeah, just be ready for the inevitable transfer," Beerus said. Gohan sighed but nodded.
"Wait, do you know what they're talking about?" Zatanna asked. Barbara shrugged.
"No clue, probably god stuff," she answered nonchalantly. Zatanna eyed Batgirl for a few seconds before Diana explained.
"Not too long ago, they wagered a galaxy from their universes and Gohan lost it. Lord Beerus was just reminding him of his loss," Diana clarified. Zatanna's mouth formed an 'O' before realization dawned on her and Barbara.
"Wait, they bet an entire galaxy?" Zatanna asked, surprised. "Why am I even surprised at this point?" she muttered to herself as Barbara just nodded.
