"What are you thinking about right now?", asked Whis with a glance over his shoulder.
Darc came out of his inner thoughts and looked at the angel. They were currently on route to the first Dragonball.
"Mostly how to fool Champa if he finds out about our little plan. I heard he likes to eat?" He paused for a short moment and shook his head. "No, that won't work. My knowledge about tasty things in the galaxy is limited. Sadly the earth is gone now as well. It had great stuff that I could have traded with."
"I see, but why do you assume that Lord Champa is still the active GoD?"
"Wait. He is not?"
Whis just chuckled and looked back in front of himself. "He is. But that still does not mean he will have the same personality the way you seem to remember. At least not since his brother's death..."

"Great...And now that I am the new candidate he may even hate me immediately."
"Correct. By the way. How does it feel?"
"What exactly? Being a higher being? The energy? Weird. Never would have thought I would say this but I hate how weak in comparison I am without it. Not earning it myself feels just wrong..."
Whis did frown a little from his answer but sighed shortly after. "There is no shame in that. Reaching the status of GoD with just mortal power is a very hard thing to do. Some may even think it is impossible."
"Is that so? No wonder I didn't make any progress in my own god form. Knowing how a real transformation feels like. It really is two different worlds entirely. But then again. I think I got some hints and ideas on how to improve my own form. Generally speaking, the way the energy flows seems to be very important. I guess I also figured out why I never improved my super state as well."
"Oh, you actually got some ideas? Now I am very curious. Should I tell if they are feasible or not?"
"...I feel like you tease me for some reason."
"Am I now?"
"Well, I think every power has a certain point where it becomes stable and usable without clear disadvantages. Making them so-called transformations. My super form, for example, is very stable after I reach the point where my energy is reaching about 50x times my base."
Darc contemplated again since this was also one of the things he was thinking about earlier.
"The theory at the moment that I have is that the next stage should be around 100 times. Double the first stage. And after that 3 times the second stage and so on. So generally one could go on infinitely as long there exist a technique that could help improve ones bursting potential to reach said stable stages..."
He sighed and shook his head again.
"The thing is my view about energy changes dramatically every time that I wonder if I am right at all. I feel like my understanding is getting smaller by the minute. Just feeling this destruction energy made me realize how much so."
Whis only smiled. "So you are saying the first stage is 50, the second 100, the third 300 and the fourth 1200? You are not wrong actually. Your thinking goes very much the path of divination. I am actually surprised someone could think of it themselves."
"But then why is this destruction mode making me so much stronger out of nothing?"
"It is not out of nothing. You clearly learned and trained yourself in destruction energy. That destruction mode actually is just that technique you wonder about. A bursting ability that unleashes every ounce of burst potential in the body. With it you just reach a higher stable stage. In your case, I would say Stage 5?"
Darc became really curious now. "What stage would Beerus be at? And what about you?"
"Hmm, he would be around Stage 4 and me Stage 7. That is if we go along with your thinking. But that is irrelevant in comparison since you don't even have the base power that we have and we also already absorbed those stages into our base while you are still fiddling around with transformations and waste most of your bursting potential into those."
"See, that is what still confuses me! Why can't I reach the second stage on my own if I can clearly increase my power a 100 fold."
"I think you are confusing yourself. If you think like that then it would be 150 fold and not 100 fold. You need to consider that the bursting energy you use to reach the next stage will be used up to keep that stage. Only after accumulating 100 fold of energy after reaching the first stage can you go to the second, no?"
At that moment it made sense for Darc. It was as if a switch was activated in his mind. Just at that moment, they left the warping technique that Whis used.
"We are here. That planet there seems to be the Super Dragonball." He pointed with his staff on a planet.
"I want to try something first..."
"Already figured something out?"
Darc only distanced himself a little and breathed in and out. If what he is going to do really was the answer he would really feel dumb.
Then suddenly he raised his energy level. His aura was so viscous white that it looked like water dispersing everywhere into the universe. He held nothing back and soon the white became a golden color. He already entered his superstate.
Soon after he intensified his outtake and the tattoo from the True Kaioken on his still exposed upper body started glowing in crimson red. It was actually a very similar scene like the destruction mode. But it was a lot calmer and his body was not bulging as madly.
After reaching a certain point Darc also started to shout. A clear vain on his forehead told everyone looking that he really went all out.
"KAIOKEN TIMES 100!!!" And right at that moment his energy burst like a candle meeting gasoline. His body vibrated violently but stabilized immediately right after as if breaking through something. His aura changed drastically. Redish arcs of electricity were danced around his orange-colored corona. His eyes were still a clear golden but now a deep black outer ring framed his iris. It made his stare intimidating.
"I really did it...Damn. Even my son figured that out before me. But I did focus on my god form more. Now I feel embarrassed...and a little bit proud at the same time. Looks like Trunks has an innate burst potential on his own. That I had to rely on Kaioken for this...Maybe it is harder when one has too much power? But now I got a feel to it."
That fact actually irked him madly. He even scratched his head furiously in frustration for a little time.
"Congratulations, Darc. You reached Stage 2"
