The World on the Brink of Despair

"Woohoo~ Finally back!"

As soon as he stepped out of the time-space portal, Gogito tossed the egg onto the ground, stretched, and let out a howl, only to be punched in the head. Tights crossed her arms, "Stop yelling, you scared me."

"Sumimasen."

Gogito squatted on the ground, holding his head, apologizing at light speed.

"Alright, alright, let's go back quickly."

Tights patted Gogito's head.

Gogito stopped fussing and used Instant Transmission to take everyone back to West City.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

"Uncle, Aunt."

Tights and Bulma happily pulled Mrs. Brief into the house, recounting their adventures.

Gogito, meanwhile, introduced the egg that sealed Majin Buu to Dr. Brief.

"Doctor, I'd like to ask you to study this egg. Inside it is sealed an evil being, said to have been created by an evil sorcerer in the universe. His body structure is unique; he can regenerate even when smashed to pieces."

Gogito explained Majin Buu's general abilities to Dr. Brief.

"Ohoho~"

"So interesting."

Dr. Brief's interest was instantly piqued. After greeting Chi-Chi and Gohan, he took the egg into the laboratory.

At the dinner table, Gogito and Gohan were still stuffing their faces, while Chi-Chi sat beside them with a complex expression. Finally, she spoke, "I agree to Gohan training martial arts."

She didn't want the story of the future world to repeat itself in this world. Seeing Gohan's severed arm and the scars on his face made her heart ache.

"Don't be so sad. Gohan's potential is unparalleled. As long as he doesn't neglect his martial arts, no one in this world will be his match."

Of course, except for me, Gogito thought to himself, excluding himself.

"Besides, who says you can't be a scholar if you practice martial arts? Can't you have both?"

Gogito's words made Chi-Chi's eyes light up. She didn't want Gohan to become a battle maniac like Goku, which was why she wanted him to study. Wisdom could make one wise.

"Are you full, Gohan?"

"I'm full."

Gohan lay back in his chair, patting his belly contentedly.

"Good, then we're going to Mount Paozu now to pack. I'll find you a good teacher."

"Huh? Aren't you, Uncle Gogito, going to teach me?"

Kid Gohan asked in confusion.

"You're still young now and need to build a solid foundation. The adult training methods aren't suitable for you yet."

"Let's go."

Gohan hugged Chi-Chi, and together they returned to Mount Paozu with Gogito.

Chi-Chi efficiently packed their belongings. With everything ready, Gogito used Instant Transmission and arrived at Master Roshi's place.

"Haha~"

"It's Chi-Chi and Gohan!"

Master Roshi, who was leisurely sunbathing on the beach, greeted them happily upon seeing Chi-Chi and Gohan.

"And who is this?"

Master Roshi looked at Gogito and asked Chi-Chi.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gogito. Like Goku, I am also a Saiyan. I've come this time to ask for your help in training Gohan."

"I see!"

Master Roshi sighed slightly.

"Little Gohan is already stronger than me. I have nothing left to teach him."

As expected, Master Roshi refused. He hadn't taken on any disciples since he finished teaching Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu.

"Gohan is a good child in every way, except he's too kind. If he were an ordinary child, it would be fine. But he's Son Goku's son. Moreover, Gohan doesn't believe in his own strength enough, which is troublesome. Please, teach him the true heart of martial arts."

After hearing this, Master Roshi agreed to take Gohan as a student.

Why did Gogito entrust Gohan to Master Roshi? The reason is actually very simple. Master Roshi is a person with true great wisdom and great merit. He can cultivate Gohan into a martial artist even more outstanding than Goku.

At this point, you might say, what can that lecherous old man, Master Roshi, teach?

Master Roshi was a disciple of Mutaito, founded the Turtle School, and taught Goku, the strongest fighter in the universe, and Krillin, the strongest human on Earth. Why was Krillin able to marry Android 18? It was because he saved her life, but that's too naive. Is Android 18 the type of person who would marry someone just because they saved her? Definitely not. It was precisely because of the good character and upright attitude taught by Master Roshi that Krillin was able to attract Android 18 and get her to marry him. To put it bluntly, Krillin was simply outstanding enough.

He also guided Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, disciples of his rival Master Shen, towards the righteous path. When King Piccolo wreaked havoc, he faced King Piccolo alone, confronting his inner fears, which required immense courage.

If Master Roshi weren't a lecher, he wouldn't be Master Roshi; he would have already ascended to immortality and become the Immortal Turtle.

With Master Roshi having taken Kid Gohan under his wing, Gogito's mission was as good as settled.

"I shall take my leave now. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Uncle Gogito!"

Kid Gohan waved to bid Gogito farewell.

"Swish~"

Gogito departed using Instant Transmission.

"Ding~"

"Mission Triggered: Save the Desperate Timeline"

"Mission Details: After Cell killed Trunks, he took the Time Machine back to the past, and Earth returned to days of peace. However, the arrival of Babidi has once again plunged Earth into crisis. This time, there is no one left to save the planet!!"

"Mission Reward: God Ki"

The system, silent for so long, had come back online today. Gogito had assumed it was just notifying him that Kid Gohan's mission was complete.

This mission—well, how should he put it? It was a world of despair! There wasn't a single person left capable of fighting; it was truly hopeless. With only Bulma remaining, there wasn't a shred of hope to be found. Perhaps the moment Trunks died, Bulma had lost all desire to go on living. It was truly heartbreaking.

Gogito returned to West City and asked Tights if she wanted to come along, but she refused. Her novel wasn't finished yet, so she wouldn't be running around with Gogito. With no other choice, Gogito had to go alone.

On Earth in a certain timeline.

"Help me!!!"

"Someone, please save me!!!"

"I don't want to die!!!"

In this timeline, because Trunks did not exist, Babidi had successfully unleashed Majin Buu. Supreme Kai and Kibito were dead, the God of Destruction had perished along with them, and the angel Whis had entered standby mode.

In a certain location, a portal through space-time appeared, and Gogito stepped out from within.

"Truly a disaster-ridden place, this Earth and its people."

"Let me see how many are left."

Gogito searched carefully and discovered that almost everyone on Earth was dead. Babidi and Majin Buu were currently wreaking havoc in a large city.

"Ah, found her."

The Bulma of this world was not yet dead, but she had already resigned herself to it.

The Bulma of this world was still in that same basement, only this time, she took no action. Instead, she lay on her bed, quietly waiting for death.

There was nothing left in this world worth holding onto for Bulma. Everything she had known was destroyed, and she neither wanted to nor had the ability to save this desperate world.
