A day later, Gogito and his group emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, each of them having achieved significant improvements.

First was Kid Gohan, whose combat power reached thirty thousand. Furthermore, his foundation was solid, and he no longer acted timid or afraid to fight as he once did.

However, Gohan's inner mindset had yet to shift. Perhaps due to Chi-Chi's upbringing or his own nature, Gohan was still too kind-hearted—not a good habit for combat. Only after suffering setbacks would he be able to make a change.

It is worth mentioning that Kid Gohan's tail grew back during their training.

Future Gohan did not have this problem; after all, having fought the Androids for so many years, he had long since forged a firm resolve.

Future Gohan's combat power had already reached the late stage of Super Saiyan 2, nearly touching the peak.

In comparison, Trunks was slightly behind, having only just mastered the Super Saiyan 2 transformation. Even so, this was already quite impressive; not everyone could compare to Gohan, whose potential was immense—only Broly could rival him.

As they were about to leave, Vegeta successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, barely managing to keep pace with Son Goku.

As for Son Goku, he had reached Super Saiyan 3 Full Power, overcoming the form's tendency to leak energy and its massive stamina consumption. One has to admit, Son Goku is truly a genius; he always finds a way.

Gogito had perfectly mastered Super Saiyan 4, reaching Super Saiyan 4 Full Power—the state achieved in the anime when Son Goku absorbed the Saiyan energy of Son Gohan, Goten, and the others.

Upon exiting, Mr. Popo had already prepared a sumptuous feast. After the group enjoyed a wonderful meal, they returned to West City.

West City was still in ruins, but construction was already underway, and it was believed that it would soon return to its former prosperity.

Bulma was still researching the Time Machine, and Tights had not yet returned from her trip; only Master Roshi and the others were present.

Once Gogito and the others returned, they began discussing future plans. Master Roshi spoke first.

"Given the current situation, we have decided to promote martial arts on Earth. We want the people of Earth to know about martial arts, practice it, and pass it down. This way, we will have hope when facing enemies in the future, rather than relying solely on Son Gohan and Trunks while everyone else just struggles to survive, seeing no hope at all."

"But how are we going to develop this?" Future Gohan asked the crucial question.

"By leveraging the power of the King and the World Martial Arts Tournament. Several of us have won first place, and there is also the fact that Son Goku defeated King Piccolo to save the world. Combined with the reputation of Bulma's Capsule Corp, we can use these to build our name, open martial arts schools, and find people with good character and talent to teach them," Krillin explained the general strategy.

Teaching was a task best left to Master Roshi and his peers; the Saiyans only knew how to fight, and if they were left to teach newcomers, they would likely cause an explosion on the spot.

At this moment, Gogito walked over to Chi-Chi and said, "When we go back, you could have Son Goku open a martial arts school or something similar. People in that era still recognize Son Goku. He can train while earning money; I believe Son Goku won't refuse. And wouldn't it be better for Son Gohan's studies if you had more money?"

Chi-Chi thought about it, felt it made sense, and nodded.

A few days later, the news that the Androids had been defeated was known globally. The world had entered a reconstruction phase, and it was believed that within a month or two, it would return to its pre-Android state. The only issue was the low population, which could only be restored over time.

Tights had also returned. She had learned most of the history of this world and was currently organizing her notes in preparation for her future writing.

However, as soon as she returned, Gogito stuck to her like glue. Counting the time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he hadn't seen his girlfriend for a year, and now he wanted to spend every second with her.

Tights had no choice but to set aside her work to keep Gogito company.

Gogito's life these past few days had been quite comfortable; he had Tights by his side day and night—hehe.

One day, by the swimming pool, Gogito was lying on Tights' lap, mouth open, waiting for her to feed him fruit.

Suddenly, Gogito sensed a massive, evil ki appearing somewhere on Earth. The others felt it too and stood up one after another.

"Such an evil aura!! And it's terrifying!!"

"A new enemy?"

"It hasn't been long since the Androids!"

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's faces.

"The Androids don't even compare; they aren't on the same level," King Piccolo explained.

"Let's go and see what it is," Gogito said, rising to his feet.

Although that ki was strong—much stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku—he could handle it with one hand.

The group flew majestically in the direction of the ki.

Elsewhere, in a certain part of Earth, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared. A person crawled out from within: pink skin, a tentacle-like appendage on his head reaching down to his waist, and wearing a vest similar to the one Son Goku wore.

As soon as he emerged, he looked around, finding the area riddled with craters and devastated beyond recognition.

"Could this world have been destroyed like this by me?"

"That can't be right. If I had destroyed it, there wouldn't be so many people still alive on Earth."

In Majin Buu's perception, there were still many humans on Earth, and the ki of the Earth fighters was still present. The ki of Son Goku and Vegeta was similar to those in his world, though Son Gohan was not as strong as the Gohan of his world.

However, Majin Buu did not intend to look for them. He planned to first find the egg that sealed Majin Buu in this world and absorb it; perhaps that would make him even stronger.

"He's starting to move!!"

"This speed... it's so fast!!"

"Where is he trying to go?"

Several people erupted with energy, giving chase.

The group followed him to the edge of a mountain range, where Majin Buu's energy had come to a halt.

Before Majin Buu lay an egg—the very egg that sealed the Majin Buu of this world.

Majin Buu reached out, pouring his energy into the egg.

At this moment, Gogito and his party arrived. Gogito recognized Majin Buu at a glance; he had originally assumed it was Janemba, but he never expected it to be Majin Buu. The egg beside this Buu clearly belonged to the Majin Buu of this world, meaning this Buu had come from another dimension.

Seeing Gogito and the others arrive, Majin Buu ceased his energy transfer, turned to face them, and laughed.

"You arrived quite quickly."

Majin Buu's gaze swept over them, but when he saw Gogito, his pupils constricted. This man gave him a very ominous feeling.

In Majin Buu's world, Goku and Vegeta had never fused into Vegito. Goku had been absorbed by Buu before Vegeta could arrive, and upon his arrival, Vegeta had also met a tragic end and been absorbed. Thus, Majin Buu did not recognize Gogito, who looked identical to Vegito, yet Gogito gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
