Flying higher and higher into the sky krillin was struggling. The air got thinner and his Ki wasn't large enough to fly him there, he was forced to eat a Senzu bean lest he fall out of the sky.
It took him an hour of slow and unexperienced flying until he finally saw the large floating island in the sky, the temple of God!
Landing on the platform Krillin began walking forward towards the large castles on the island when he saw a strange man who wore a jeweled scarf and red pants, had pitch black skin with big red lips, and large elvish ears! The strange man stood their and watched Krillin walk forward with creepy almost empty eyes.
'System show me popos powerlevel'
[Targets powerlevel exceeds 1000, impossible to tell exact powerlevel]
'Damn Mr. Popo is strong as hell!' getting closer to him, Krillin felt creeped out by the look of Mr Popo. The pointy eared man looked like a puppet, Krilli realized the mans chest didn't even raise, like he wasn't breathing!
"Do you have a reason to visit the Temple of God?" Mr. Bobo asked, Snapping Krillin out of his thoughts.
"Pardon the sudden intrusion Mr...."
"I'm Popo, the steward of the Earth's Temple of God, the actual God of earth resides within the Temple. But I must reiterate, why have you come to the Temple of God?" Popo spoke in a cheerful yet empty voice, adding further to his creepiness.
"My name is Krillin, my masters are Master Roshi, Master Korin, and Master Annin. I've come to the Temple of God to further my martial arts training and to grow stronger." Krillin figured name dropping Annin and Korin would help persuade them to train him.
"I see, If you want to practice here you'll have to ask Kami first. If the he agree that you can practice here, you can stay." Popo said in an almost song song voice.
"Popo so long as he agrees to one condition of mine, he can stay and practice." At this time, an old voice came from behind the door of the castle.
There was a few moments of silence when the door opened and an old green man wearing a white robe with the word "God" stepped out.
This was the legendary Nemekian who created Earths dragon balls and resided over humans for centuries!
"I assume you must be God? What conditions do I need to agree to in order to practice here?" Klin asked sincerely but immediately used his identify on Kami.
[Kami: Power levek is 235]
"When the earth is in danger in the future, you just need to use your abilities to help the earth survive the crisis." said the god.
"Is it that simple?" Krillin asked, figuring there'd be a whole process.
"It's that simple." said the god.
"The Earth is my home, everyone I love and cherish resides here. When the Earth is in crisis of course I'll die defending it. I agree to your condition!" Krillin answered firmly.
"Okay, I hope you can help when the earth is in crisis. Popo, please arrange your training." Then the god returned to the room.
"Come with me now, I need to test your true strength and see what kind of training to arrange for you." Bobo said.
"Okay." Krillin obediently followed Bobo to the back.
"Use everything at your disposal to land an attack on me, then I can get a better understanding of you and lay out a proper training manual for you"
'I was just planning on entering the Hyperbolic time chamber and only leaving when i have to. Too bad the Hyper Bolic Time Chamber has a two year limit before you get trapped their forever, i got to pick Dende up to remove this limiter.'
"If you want me to go all, then I'll start!" Tensing his body, a faint and small outline of energy exuded from his body as Krillin gathered his Ki and powered up.
The almost fire outline of Ki disappeared as Krillin rocketed forward, his right fist cocked back like he was gonna go for a punch but instead a shin kick came from below!
Popo, as if it was the most obvious thing, stepped back and easily dodged the attack. Krillin kept going at him, using double and triple feints trying to land atleast one punch once to no avail, the creepy man was able to dodge and outmaneuvers every one of his attacks.
Krillin was going for feints and trickery immediately after realizing Popo was at least five times stronger than him.
Krillin felt his stamina draining and recovering from his small healing factor but despite this, he realized he was getting nowhere landing a punch on Popo. He was beginning to plan out a scheme when an idea hit him.
"Popo do you want to make a bet I can land a punch on you in the next five seconds?" Krillin said, trying to get something more from this encounter.
"I refrain from making bets as it's unsightly from an assistant of God, but if you can land a punch on me... I'll reward you with three items from the Divine Treasury" Saying this, Popo took this challenge more seriously as he ready himself for anything Krillin through at him.
With a smile blooming on his face, Krillin suddenly disappeared from Popo's view!
Popo looked around in a hurry only to see Krillin fist just an inch away from his face, using his overwhelmingly superior speed Popo was able to crane his neck in time to just barely dodge Krillins fist and jump back!
"What a splendid technique Krillin, I have seen anything like it! But sadly you didn't touch me" Popo felt himself sweat, despite being much stronger than Krillin he nearly got hit!
Just as he prepared himself for another attack from Krillin, Popo suddenly felt something gently touch the side of his face! Looking with just his eyes, a hand began to materialize before him as suddenly Krillin appeared from his invisibility illusion!
"Looks like I won the bet!" Krillin said with a cheeky smile.
Popo looked back and forth between the two Krillins when the first one that almost hit him suddenly began to fade away and reveal itself to be an illusion, a look of understanding washed on Popos face.
Krillin had used his time freeze to get behind Popo and once unfrozen, instantly used his illusion magic on himself to turn invisible and conjure up another him to distract!
"I see, your master Annin must've taught you her illusions... But for a mortal, a kid no less, to be able to use her illusions to such a degree is...impressive." Popo knew that the Ki control needed to create such illusions was intensive.
Thinking back on it, it made sense to Popo that he learned Annins illusions solely because he was able to hide his Ki so well. For Krillin to suppress his Ki to absolute zero and fool Popo during his invisibility illusion, it meant Krillins Ki control was one of the best not just on the planet but in the universe!
"I guess you did land a punch in those five seconds..... follow me to the Treasury."
