The next day, Gogito woke up and looked at the bloodstains on the sheets, sighing that after two lifetimes, he had finally shed the title of virgin.

In the days that followed, Gogito lived very comfortably until, half a year later, Tights became pregnant. Gogito devoted all his time to taking care of Tights, only finding time to train in between. As Tights' belly grew larger, Gogito began to feel anxious, wondering if he could truly be a good father. He fell into a state of confusion, but fortunately, with Tights by his side to guide him, Gogito began to feel confident that he could be a good father.

Three months into Tights' pregnancy, Bulma also became pregnant with Trunks—a double blessing!

Dr. Brief and Mrs. Brief were grinning from ear to ear, laughing happily all day long.

However, that guy Vegeta was still focused on training every day; what an idiot.

Ten months later, Tights gave birth to a girl. Gogito named her Aisu, and from that moment on, Gogito transformed into a doting father.

Every time Trunks made Aisu cry, Gogito would beat Vegeta up, claiming it was to train his ability to take a hit. Vegeta had no way to voice his grievances; he couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't run away.

Time passed in a flash.

Three years later, Aisu was over a year old and could walk and talk. Hearing little Aisu softly calling him "Daddy" made Gogito's heart melt. Whatever little Aisu wanted, Gogito gave it to her; even if Beerus came over, he would have to act as a pet cat for little Aisu—that was Gogito's word.

After Aisu was born, Gogito had profound inner realizations and mastered the perfect Ultra Instinct, successfully transforming into the silver-haired state and significantly increasing his power.

Son Goku and Vegeta were also much stronger than they were in the same period, both reaching the full power of Super Saiyan. Kid Gohan had successfully finished his training with Master Roshi and also mastered the Super Saiyan transformation, completing Gogito's task.

The others also showed significant progress.

One day, everyone suddenly sensed a massive amount of ki disappearing in the south, so the Earth's warriors set off to investigate. Gogito hadn't intended to go—they were just Androids, after all—but Bulma and Tights both wanted to see what the Androids looked like. Worried for his wife's safety, Gogito went along with them.

Son Goku and Vegeta arrived first, only to see a destroyed city. The others arrived shortly after, but despite searching together, they found no trace of the Androids.

Just then, Bulma arrived in her plane. Seeing the grim expressions on everyone's faces, she knew they hadn't caught the Androids. Tights was a bit disappointed; she turned and grabbed Gogito's clothes, acting spoiled.

"Gogito, do you have any ideas?"

Gogito held his daughter and said to Bulma, "Bulma, don't you know the general location of Dr. Gero's laboratory? We can just go there and wait for them to come to us."

"Soga!"

"No time to lose, let's go."

Bulma told everyone the location of Dr. Gero's laboratory, and they set off.

On Dr. Gero's side, he and Android 19 were taking a leisurely stroll, completely unaware of the impending crisis. By the time they returned to the entrance of the laboratory, Son Goku and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Dr. Gero was stunned to see so many people surrounding the place. He wondered how they had found it so quickly, so he ordered Android 19 to go up and stall for time while he went back to activate Android 17 and Android 18.

Kid Gohan stepped forward to face Android 19. Son Goku and Vegeta didn't move; they both wanted to see how strong the Androids were.

Kid Gohan didn't hesitate, transforming directly into a Super Saiyan and unleashing a barrage of attacks on Android 19. Android 19 seized the opportunity, grabbed Kid Gohan's arm, and began to absorb his energy. However, Kid Gohan, having been taught by Master Roshi and having witnessed a hellish future, had no intention of underestimating his opponent. At this moment, Kid Gohan's heart was just like Son Goku's when he had first finished his training as a child: he showed no mercy to evildoers and sought to wipe them out completely.

Back then, little Son Goku's opponents were the Red Ribbon Army, and now Kid Gohan's opponents were also the Red Ribbon Army; the similarity was truly startling.

Kid Gohan exerted force with both hands and tore off Android 19's arms. Sensing things were going wrong, Android 19 tried to flee but was finished off by a ki blast from Kid Gohan.

Dr. Gero also successfully activated Android 17 and Android 18. The laboratory doors slowly opened, and Dr. Gero laughed heartily. He didn't know that Son Goku and Vegeta had already become very strong, because the small robots he had sent out were destroyed by Gogito before they could even get close.

"Prepare to die! Hahahaha!!"

Before Dr. Gero could finish laughing, his chest was pierced by a hand—it was Android 17. Dr. Gero turned his head in disbelief, and just as he was about to say something, Android 17 kicked his head off.

"Annoying old man, who would listen to you!"

Android 17 clapped his hands and was about to turn back when he saw Son Goku in the crowd.

"Son Goku!!"

Hearing Android 17's voice, Android 18 also turned around.

"Huh? Do you know me?" Son Goku asked, puzzled.

At this point, Kid Gohan explained, "Dad, they are the Androids created by Dr. Gero. Their goal is to take revenge on Son Goku for destroying the Red Ribbon Army. Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Kid Gohan felt a bit helpless; his old man was truly a handful. No wonder his mother always wanted him to study hard—she was afraid he would turn into an idiot like this.

"He's not wrong. We are the Androids created to take revenge on you," Android 17 confirmed Kid Gohan's statement.

Clang~

The container holding Android 16 fell to the ground, drawing everyone's attention. Just now, when Android 18 wanted to call Android 17 over to take a look, she had accidentally triggered the activation, and Android 16's massive frame emerged from within.

Android 16 remained expressionless, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. Only when he saw Son Goku and Vegeta did he react.

"Android 16, were you also created to kill Son Goku?" Android 18 asked Android 16.

"That is correct," Android 16 replied emotionlessly.

"Son Goku is right here. Let's kill him!" Hearing Android 16's answer, Android 17 pointed at Son Goku and extended an invitation to Android 16.

"No, according to my sensors, Son Goku's energy far exceeds the sum of the three of us, and the same goes for Vegeta."

Android 16 stated the facts, but Android 17 refused to believe it; according to Dr. Gero's data, he himself was the strongest being in this world.

"Hmph! You scrap metal actually has a decent eye for things!"

Upon hearing Android 16's words, Vegeta offered a word of praise.

Android 17 could not believe he was not the strongest in the world and, desperate to prove himself, charged toward Vegeta.

"Hmph! Overestimating your own abilities."

Seeing Android 17 rushing toward him, Vegeta wore a look of utter disdain. He transformed into a Super Saiyan and, with just a single strike, sent Android 17 sprawling to the ground, unable to rise.

At this moment, one might wonder if Vegeta was thinking to himself, So this is how it felt when Gogito hit me; I was nothing but a clown back then.

Gogito: That's right, exactly as you're thinking.
