Gogito vs. Son Goku

Early the next morning, Gogito and Goku brought the two Gohan and Trunks to Kami's Lookout.

"Yo, Kami, you've been resurrected too!"

Goku greeted him warmly, "And Mr. Popo as well."

Mr. Popo spoke in his simple, honest voice, "It is truly wonderful that Kami-sama has returned."

Because Piccolo had died in battle, Kami had perished along with him. Mr. Popo had guarded Kami's Lookout alone for over a decade, lonely to the point of despair; now that Kami was back, Mr. Popo was overjoyed.

"We've come this time to train inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Gohan and Trunks have poor foundations, so they must start from the very beginning."

Goku stated the purpose of their visit.

"No problem. I will take you there; the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is on the lowest level of the Lookout."

Mr. Popo agreed immediately and led the group toward the base of the temple.

Upon reaching the entrance, Goku suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to get Vegeta. He will definitely want to come too."

He then vanished using Instant Transmission.

There were six people entering this time. Gogito suddenly recalled that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber had a bug; during the Cell era, only two people could enter at once, but by the time of Majin Buu, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, and Majin Buu—four people in total—had entered without anything happening.

It was quite mysterious.

Therefore, Gogito intended for everyone to enter together this time. Even if the exit truly vanished, he could use his power to shatter space and break out directly.

Before long, Goku returned with Vegeta.

Vegeta wore his usual arrogant expression and sneered, "Damn you, Kakarot. If you knew of such a good place, why didn't you say so earlier? If we had trained here when the Androids appeared, we wouldn't have let those two piles of scrap metal kill so many people."

Goku scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "I died from a heart virus back then! There was nothing I could do to tell you. Besides, I didn't know the Androids were appearing at the time; I only went in once when I was a child and had forgotten about it since."

Vegeta let out a cold huff and said nothing more.

"Let's go. Everyone inside," Gogito commanded.

"Everyone?" Goku was a bit surprised, as he knew the rules of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

"Only two people can enter at a time, otherwise the exit will disappear," Mr. Popo explained from the side.

"No problem. I have a way. Trust me," Gogito said confidently.

"Then let's go in." Seeing the look of confidence on Gogito's face, Goku didn't press the issue and walked straight inside.

The others followed him in. Left alone with Mr. Popo, Gogito said, "If we haven't come out after a long time, please notify Bulma to gather the Dragon Balls and check on our situation."

"Don't worry, the probability of such a thing is very low, but just to be safe, I'm leaving a contingency plan. I'm counting on you, Mr. Popo."

"Very well," Mr. Popo agreed.

Gogito turned and entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as well.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, everyone looked curiously at the snow-white world before them. It was an endless expanse, and in this place, there was only one small building.

Kid Gohan walked outside and was immediately forced to one knee by the intense gravity.

"The gravity here is four times that of the outside world, the air is only one-fourth as dense, and the temperature fluctuates between fifty degrees Celsius and minus forty."

"Most importantly, one year passes in here while only one day passes outside."

"However, each person can only stay for two days, and only two people can enter at a time."

"But Gogito said he had a way, which is why we all came in together," Goku explained the situation to the group.

After resting briefly and eating, Goku couldn't sit still any longer.

"Gogito, can you let me see your power now?"

An expression of excitement appeared on Goku's face.

The others looked toward the two, eager to witness the power of Goku and Gogito.

"Come on then. I hope you won't be too discouraged."

Gogito said to Goku.

The group headed outside, where Goku and Gogito stood facing each other while the others took their places at a distance to watch.

Without transforming into a Super Saiyan, Goku rushed straight at Gogito and threw a right hook, which Gogito easily blocked with his hand.

Goku immediately followed up with a kick, but Gogito caught it with ease. Goku began a frantic assault.

"Da-da-da-da-da-da-da~~"

Gogito dodged every strike effortlessly.

"So amazing."

The onlookers exclaimed in awe, though Vegeta remained calm.

Gogito then countered with a backhand punch, striking Goku directly in the abdomen. Goku went flying, tumbled through the air a few times, and landed steadily on his feet.

"You're really something, Gogito."

Goku instantly powered up, transformed into a Super Saiyan, and charged at Gogito once more.

Goku flashed behind Gogito and brought his hand down in a chop, but Gogito turned and dodged, throwing a punch. Goku crossed his arms to block, but the force of the blow sent him skidding backward, carving two furrows into the ground.

Goku raised his hand to fire a ki blast, which Gogito easily swatted away. Goku then unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of ki blasts, sending a stream of energy toward Gogito.

Indeed, Goku was employing the classic Prince tactics.

For a moment, the area where Gogito stood was shrouded in thick smoke. Goku watched the front vigilantly; he was certain Gogito wouldn't be defeated so easily.

Suddenly, Goku sensed something. He turned his head to see Gogito hovering above and behind him, a massive energy sphere already coalescing in his hand.

Gogito launched the energy sphere at Goku, who had no time to dodge and was forced to take the attack head-on.

Goku spread his arms to block the sphere, but the power was so overwhelming that he was driven down into the ground.

Gogito fired another ki blast, detonating the massive energy sphere. The shockwave from the explosion forced the onlookers to struggle just to hold their ground.

"What terrifying energy!!!"

"Is Uncle Goku alright???"

Future Gohan and Trunks said with difficulty.

Kid Gohan was hiding behind Vegeta, completely stunned by what he was seeing.

"Kakarot won't be defeated that easily."

"Neither of them has used their full strength yet; this is just a warm-up."

Vegeta clenched his fists. With his level of insight, it wasn't hard to see that neither was going all out, yet because he had spent those years dead in the afterlife without a physical body, he had been unable to train, leaving him far behind Goku.

"Huh???"

Future Gohan and Trunks gaped in astonishment.

"This is still just a warm-up?"

To them, this power was already terrifying. If they possessed such strength, the Androids would have been wiped out long ago.

As the smoke cleared, Goku was covered in wounds and his clothes were tattered, but everyone could sense that his ki had not diminished.

Goku tore off his orange martial arts gi and said:

"Gogito, you're truly incredible. You're this strong even without turning into a Super Saiyan. But I won't give up. From here on out, I'm going to use my full power."
