Son Goku was now invincible throughout Otherworld; the power of a Super Saiyan 3 was beyond compare. Pikkon could barely hold his own in a spar against Son Goku, and because Vegeta had committed such grave sins during his life, King Yemma had cast him into Hell, leaving Son Goku with no one to train with.

Upon hearing Gogito say there were people even stronger than him, Son Goku was instantly intrigued. If he was to be resurrected, so be it; he wanted to witness even greater power.

"Alright then, you've convinced me."

Gohan was instantly overcome with excitement.

"Yes!!"

Dende then muttered a string of Namekian, the eyes of Shenron glowed red, and he gave an "OK" gesture.

"Your wish has been granted."

"Please state your second wish."

On King Kai's Planet, the halo above Son Goku's head vanished. This wasn't his first time being resurrected, so he felt nothing out of the ordinary. He simply placed his fingers to his forehead and said to King Kai, "Goodbye, King Kai. Thank you for putting up with me all these years."

With that, he vanished.

King Kai looked at the spot where Son Goku had been and sighed, "That guy, Son Goku, he's been resurrected again. His enemies are in for a rough time!"

Having spent so many years with him, King Kai was well aware of Son Goku's strength. In his mind, aside from that Lord, no one could compare to him.

On Namekians' home world, Son Goku used Instant Transmission to arrive beside Gohan. Looking at Gohan before him, he felt a pang of heartache.

"Yo, Gohan."

"Dad!!"

Gohan threw himself into Son Goku's arms, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. In front of Son Goku, he could finally act like a child again and vent all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

"Gohan, you've had it tough all these years."

Son Goku patted Gohan on the back.

"Shenron is still here, hurry up and make your wish."

"Yes."

Gohan let go of Son Goku and said to Dende, "Please, Shenron, resurrect everyone killed by the Androids, excluding the villains."

Dende repeated the previous process, speaking a string of Namekian to Shenron.

"I can only resurrect those whose souls are still in Otherworld; those who have already been reincarnated cannot be brought back. Furthermore, this wish will consume two wishes."

Shenron spoke to the group.

"That's fine, as long as it can be done."

Gohan replied to Shenron.

Shenron's eyes glowed red, and he granted the wish once more.

In Heaven, Piccolo, Krillin, and the others were resurrected. In Hell, Vegeta's soul vanished, and on Earth, Vegeta rose from the ruins.

Many people on Earth were resurrected, but compared to the total number killed by the Androids, it was only a small fraction; most had already been reincarnated.

"Then, farewell."

After speaking, Shenron erupted in golden light, and the seven Dragon Balls shot into the sky, flying off in all directions like meteors streaking across the heavens. The sky was once again bathed in sunlight.

After the wishes were made, Gogito looked at Son Goku and said, "Kakarot, nice to meet you. I am Gogito."

"Gogito, I can tell you're very strong."

Son Goku's face was full of excitement; he couldn't wait to spar with Gogito.

Gogito saw through his intentions and cut him off.

"You go to Heaven first and bring Piccolo and the others back to Earth. I'll take Gohan back. Once we've dealt with the Androids, I'll spar with you."

Son Goku happily went off to find Piccolo and the others.

Left with Gohan, Gogito waited as Gohan entered the house to thank Grand Elder Guru.

"Thank you for your help, Grand Elder Guru."

"Think nothing of it. Son Goku is a benefactor to the Namekians. Now that you are in trouble, it is only right that we extend a helping hand."

Grand Elder Guru said with a chuckle.

"We have to go now, Grand Elder Guru, Dende."

Gohan said with a hint of reluctance; he had only just reunited with his childhood friend, and now they had to part ways again.

"Come back and visit whenever you can!"

Dende waved at Gohan. Though he was also reluctant to see him go, he knew Gohan had important matters to attend to and did not try to hold him back.

Gogito placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder.

"Once I've finished taking care of things, I'll bring Krillin along to come find you and hang out."

Gohan made a promise to Dende.

Gogito then used Instant Transmission to return to Earth.

Seeing the two of them return, Future Bulma hurried forward to ask, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Trunks also looked at Gohan with an expectant expression.

Gohan flashed a smile and said, "Dad has been resurrected, and everyone killed by the Androids has been brought back to life as well."

"Yay!"

Trunks shouted loudly, and Future Bulma also broke into a smile.

"Dad is currently heading to Heaven to bring Uncle Krillin and the others back."

"As for Uncle Vegeta, because his sins were too heavy, he was sent to Hell; he should be resurrected at the place where he originally died."

No sooner had Gohan finished speaking than Goku appeared, bringing everyone with him.

The small basement was packed with people: two Chi-Chis, two Gohans, two Bulmas, a group of Saiyans and Earthlings, plus Gogito and the others. The basement couldn't hold them all, so everyone had to head outside.

Future Chi-Chi felt heartbroken upon seeing Future Gohan, while Vegeta reunited with Trunks.

For a moment, the scene was incredibly moving.

"The top priority is to deal with the Androids first, otherwise those who were just resurrected might be killed again."

Gogito spoke up.

"Let me go and finish them off—a pile of scrap metal."

Vegeta remained as arrogant as ever, taking the job upon himself.

Although Vegeta had no physical body to train with after he died, he had already sensed the Super Saiyan 2 realm. Mere Androids would be easy pickings for him.

Future Bulma returned to the basement to retrieve a radio and received a news broadcast.

"For unknown reasons, the people previously killed by the Androids have been resurrected."

"The Androids are currently causing destruction in such-and-such region."

Upon hearing this, Vegeta stood up immediately and headed toward that region.

"Will Vegeta be okay going there alone?"

Future Bulma was somewhat worried, as Vegeta had already been killed by the Androids once before.

"No problem. Vegeta's power now far exceeds those two Androids."

Goku, having noticed that Vegeta had reached the Super Saiyan 2 realm, told Future Bulma not to worry.

Bulma watched Vegeta fly away, thinking to herself, Is that man really my future husband?

The current Bulma couldn't fathom how her future self had fallen for Vegeta; he was short and looked insufferably cocky. She walked over to Future Bulma and whispered, "Future me, how did you end up falling for that Vegeta?"

Hearing Bulma's question, Future Bulma covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "Because..."

Bulma's expression turned to one of shock.

On the other side, Gogito approached Chi-Chi and said, "You can agree to let Gohan train now, right, Chi-Chi?"

Both Chi-Chis nodded. Future Chi-Chi said that they both understood the importance of strength now and would no longer stop Gohan from training.

At this moment, Goku said to Gogito, "Can you let me see your power now, Gogito?"

Gogito shook his head and said, "Wait until tomorrow. We'll take both Gohans and Trunks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber inside Kami's Lookout. Their foundations are too poor, so it will take some time to teach them. I'll let you see it in there."
