After that , Kairos went back to his home and started spending time leisurely at peace , while at night moaning sound could be heared from the house .
Just like this 2 days went by and then Kairos starting preparing food and other material in capsules as a storage bag, for his training in Hyperbolic Time chamber.
As the sun set over the Lookout, casting a golden glow over the vast horizon, Kairos appeared in a flash of light, using Instant Transmission .
In the open field , Krillin and Tien Shinhan were pushing their limits under immense pressure, each wearing weighted clothing that doubled their already immense struggle. Their faces were drenched in sweat, muscles straining with every movement, but their determination never wavered. Tien's three eyes were narrowed in concentration as he practiced precise strikes, while Krillin darted around him, their sparring a furious blur of fists and energy blasts. The weight on their bodies made their every action slower, but stronger, sharper, more focused.
Piccolo stood a few feet away, arms crossed, observing with a calm intensity. His eyes shifted between the fighters, analyzing every move, every subtle shift in ki, ensuring that neither was pushing beyond their limits.
As Kairos approached, Piccolo's keen senses picked up his arrival immediately. The Namekian glanced at Kairos , his expression unchanged, but there was a subtle nod of acknowledgment.
"Kairos," Piccolo greeted him with a low, measured tone, his deep voice cutting through the sounds of Krillin and Tien's sparring.
Kairos, with his characteristic calm and composed demeanor, gave a small smile and gestured toward the two warriors. "Looks like things are progressing well here."
Piccolo's gaze followed, watching as Krillin unleashed a flurry of energy blasts toward Tien, who expertly dodged and deflected them. "Their progress has been steady," Piccolo replied, "but the real test lies ahead." His tone was heavy with the weight of anticipation, knowing the androids would be arriving soon.
Kairos, his sharp eyes scanning the scene, then turned his attention back to Piccolo. "How about your own training, Piccolo? "
Piccolo uncrossed his arms and exhaled slowly, his usual stoic expression softening ever so slightly. "After 4 month in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, my basic combat power increased more than I expected. I pushed my body to its limits, found new strengths... but then, my combat power didn't increase much ." He paused for a moment, a flicker of frustration crossing his face. " I realised that I didn't have any means to multiply my power . So, I turned to spirit meditation—focused on strengthening my mind, my spirit."
Kairos used his Divine Ability —
[Combat Power :
Piccolo - 3.8 B]
Kairos nodded thoughtfully . "That's a wise path. Power isn't just about force, after all. It's the control, the balance between mind and body that defines a true warrior".
Piccolo's eyes flickered with agreement, though his face remained impassive. "It's made a difference. My power may not have skyrocketed, but I feel more focused, more in tune with my energy. And Gohan…" Piccolo paused, his expression softening slightly when mentioning his pupil. "Gohan has grown exponentially. His basic combat power is far beyond what it was before, and he's finally mastered the Super Saiyan transformation."
Kairos smiled, not surprised by Gohan's growth. The boy had always had immense potential, and under Piccolo's watchful eye, that potential had blossomed into something truly formidable.
"That's good to hear," Kairos said, his voice carrying both approval and expectation.
"But why don't you search for record in your Namekian history , you could find something helpful."Kairos said with a bit of mystery to let know Piccolo know that they can also transform.
Hearing this Piccolo hums to Kaiors words as it is line with Piccolo thinking.
"The androids will be a challenge to all of you . But with the progress everyone has made, we might suprise them."
As the conversation quieted, Kairos turned toward the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, mentally preparing himself for the grueling training that lay ahead. He knew that the chamber with the time difference in it , may help him push to a greater height.
Kairos then asks with curiousity " So who is insides the Hyperbolic Time chamber now ".
" Goku along with Vegeta went inside , they should be coming out in 4 hours " Piccolo replies with annoyed expression probably because of Vegeta.
Hearing this Kairos nods in understanding and waits ...
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, orange glow across the landscape as Kairos stood calmly, arms folded, gazing toward the entrance of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A faint hum of power resonated in the air, and the Earth warriors around him grew restless. The four-hour wait was almost over.
Suddenly, the doors slid open, and a wave of immense, raw energy burst forth, washing over the Lookout like a tidal wave. Goku and Vegeta stepped out, both exuding a towering qi that left no doubt about the intense training they had endured inside. The Earth warriors instinctively shielded their eyes for a moment, as if their very presence made the air heavier, harder to breathe.
Vegeta, however, had a particular gleam in his eye. His gaze immediately locked onto Kairos, standing a short distance away, calm as ever. Without hesitation, Vegeta strode over, his qi pulsing with confidence, determinatioln—and an undeniable hunger to prove himself.
"Kairos!" Vegeta called, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance, but mostly the raw drive of a warrior on the edge of his limits. "I want to challenge you. Now. I've trained for an entire year, and I'm more powerful than you can imagine."
In the middle of the tension Goku interfered "No , I want to fight senior brother ".
"Kakarot don't interfere with my fight , you have already fought last year , this time it's mine " Vegeta tells in serious expression , hearing this Goku replies back " But now I am also more powerful, I also want to fight"
Vegeta ignores Kakarot and look at Kairos.
Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Tien Shinhan—each of them glanced at one another, sharing the same thought. Vegeta had pushed himself far, and they could feel it in his qi, but could he really be stronger than Kairos? Before today, Kairos had been the strongest among them, an unstoppable force. Yet now, Vegeta, freshly emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, with a year more training .
To everyone's surprise, Kairos smiled, not the least bit unnerved by Vegeta's newfound strength. His calm demeanor betrayed no hint of concern, only a quiet understanding of what was to come. "A challenge, huh?" he mused aloud, stretching his arms casually as if loosening stiff muscles. "It's been a while since I've had a decent fight. I could use a little warm-up."
The Earth warriors nervous anticipation flooding through them. They had all trained so hard to keep up, but it seemed like they were about to witness a battle on a whole new level. The idea of Kairos going up against Vegeta—a Vegeta who had spent an entire year in the chamber—was both exhilarating and terrifying.
Kairos, without waiting for further words, simply nodded. "Alright, I accept your challenge. Let's not waste time here. We'll fight somewhere far away. No point in wrecking the Lookout."
With that, he launched into the air, a streak of light disappearing into the distance. Vegeta, his pride aflame and competitive spirit in full force, followed instantly. Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, and the others quickly took to the sky behind them, eager to witness the fight. The air crackled with energy as they sped over the horizon, Kairos leading them toward a remote mountain range, far from any civilization.
They arrived in a desolate, rocky region, the mountains towering high and jagged, casting long shadows over the land. The sky seemed to darken, as if it, too, anticipated the impending battle. Kairos touched down lightly on the ground, standing at the edge of a vast cliff, with the mountains stretching endlessly behind him. Vegeta landed opposite, his body still radiating power from the year-long training.
The Earth warriors hovered in the air a safe distance away, watching in tense silence. They could feel the oppressive energy rising from both fighters, a brewing storm of power that made their skin tingle. The wind picked up, carrying dust and debris through the valley, as if nature itself was bracing for the impact.
Vegeta clenched his fists, his eyes burning with intensity. "This time, Kairos, I'm not holding back. I've reached a level beyond anything you've ever seen."
Kairos, standing with one hand resting casually at his side, simply smirked. "Then show me, Vegeta. Show me what you've got."
Kairos uses his DIVINE ABILITY —
[Combat Power —
Vegeta (basic)- 80M
Super Saiyan 1 - 4B ]
The battle between Kairos and Vegeta began with an intense clash of pure combat power, both fighters testing each other's strength. Initially, they fought using only their base forms, exchanging swift punches and kicks that cracked the ground beneath them. Kairos, having the edge in raw power, held his ground with ease, not even shifting his stance as he deflected Vegeta's attacks.
However, Vegeta, never one to be outdone, snarled and with a surge of golden energy, transformed into a Super Saiyan. His aura flared violently, his golden hair standing tall as the transformation boosted his power exponentially. The sheer intensity of Vegeta's transformation forced Kairos to take a step back, a rare sight that sent a wave of surprise through the Earth warriors who were watching from a safe distance.
"Now we're getting serious!" Vegeta roared, his voice filled with the fury and pride that fueled him. Without hesitation, Vegeta charged at Kairos, his speed now blindingly fast, and before Kairos could fully react, Vegeta's fists were already hammering into him. The barrage of attacks came so quickly that Kairos barely had time to defend. Each punch from Vegeta sent shockwaves through the air, and for the first time in the fight, Kairos found himself on the defensive, gritting his teeth as he tried to keep up.
Blow after blow landed, and Vegeta's relentless onslaught battered Kairos, who struggled to maintain his footing under the pressure. Blood dripped from Kairos' lip, but his eyes remained sharp, calculating.
Realizing he needed more power to keep up, Kairos grunted, "Kaio-Ken, times ten!" His aura flared red as the Kaio-Ken technique boosted his combat power. His muscles bulged slightly, and the strain on his body increased, but now he could match Vegeta blow for blow. The two warriors collided once more, exchanging strikes at such high speed that even the most experienced fighters watching could barely follow the movement.
The Earth warriors, watching from afar, stood in awe. Krillin and Tien Shinhan could hardly believe their eyes. "They're evenly matched!" Krillin exclaimed. "I can't even tell who's winning!"
But Goku and Piccolo exchanged knowing looks. They could sense it. Kairos, despite the intense battle, was still holding back. Vegeta, however, was pushing himself to his limit, something that only made him more furious as he realized it.
Vegeta, seething with anger, ground his teeth, his pride taking a hit as he realized Kairos wasn't using his full strength. "You dare hold back against me?" Vegeta roared, his aura exploding even more violently. His muscles began to swell, his body becoming more massive as arcs of lightning crackled around him. The air thickened with his energy, and the Earth warriors gasped in shock.
"He's transforming again!" Tien shouted in disbelief.
Vegeta had entered the ascended form, Super Saiyan 1 (Second Grade), his muscles now denser, more powerful, but at the cost of some speed. His veins bulged, his face a mask of fury. This transformation, while not as refined as Super Saiyan 2, gave Vegeta an immense boost in raw strength.
With a snarl, Vegeta charged at Kairos, his power overwhelming. The ground shook with each step he took, and the sheer force of his presence caused the Earth to tremble. Vegeta launched himself at Kairos, throwing a devastating punch that ripped through the air.
Kairos again uses his DIVINE ABILITY -
[Combat Power—
Vegeta Super Saiyan (second stage)- 5B]
Kairos, recognizing the change in Vegeta's form, knew he had to respond. "Time to get serious," he muttered, his calm demeanor giving way to focus. With a deep breath, his aura flared red once more. "Kaio-Ken, times twenty!"
The explosion of energy around Kairos was immense. His body surged with power as the Kaio-Ken multiplied his combat strength even further, his muscles tense and his aura blazing. The two clashed again, this time with even greater force. The shockwaves from their strikes cracked the mountains around them, sending boulders tumbling and creating massive craters in the ground.
Vegeta, despite his enhanced strength, found himself struggling. Kairos, with the power of Kaio-Ken times twenty, moved faster and hit harder. Each time Vegeta attacked, Kairos countered, his movements sharp and precise. The battle raged on, but the gap in power was clear.
Kairos delivered a series of rapid blows, each one landing with crushing force, and with one final punch, he sent Vegeta flying backward. Vegeta crashed into the side of a mountain, the rock shattering upon impact, and the Earth warriors gasped in disbelief.
Vegeta tried to push himself to his feet, his pride refusing to let him stay down, but his body wouldn't obey. Blood dripped from his mouth, and his Super Saiyan aura flickered, weakening. He glared at Kairos with defiant eyes, but the realization had set in—he was defeated.
Kairos, standing tall, lowered his fists, his aura calming as he walked toward Vegeta. "You've gotten stronger, Vegeta. But pushing your body to its limit like that… it's not enough."
Vegeta, panting heavily, could only clench his fists in frustration, the weight of his defeat crushing him. The Earth warriors looked on, some in awe, others in shock. Kairos had not only matched Vegeta's newfound power but surpassed it, and after going inside Hyperbolic Time chamber he will become stronger ,solidifying his position as the strongest among them once again.
