After eliminating Baby, Kibito used the Sacred Water to purify the people on Earth and Planet Tuffle, restoring everyone's sanity.

Bulma learned of the two men's origins from Tights, and Gogito took the opportunity to reintroduce himself to the group.

The group used Son Goku's Instant Transmission to return to the Lookout, where they chatted and laughed together.

"Gogito, I can tell—you're incredibly strong!"

Son Goku, who had reverted to his child form, said to Gogito.

Pan also had a question she wanted to ask Gogito.

"Just before Grandpa caught Baby's Revenge Death Ball, Uncle Gogito, you said Grandpa was going to win. How did you know?"

Gohan, Goten, and Trunks also wanted to know the answer.

"Well, that's because I can transform into a Super Saiyan 4 myself, so I understand the capabilities of the form."

"Super Saiyan 4 possesses the ability to absorb energy to enhance itself. Unless the power gap is too vast for the body to withstand, it remains superior. Plus, the Super Saiyan 4 body is exceptionally robust; the moment Baby unleashed his Revenge Death Ball, he had already lost."

"Aside from energy blasts, which consume a fair amount of stamina, Super Saiyan 4 has no other weaknesses."

Gogito delivered this shocking revelation.

The fact that Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku didn't revert to his base form even after being pummeled by Baby suggested that the energy required to maintain the form was minimal, or perhaps even negligible. Furthermore, the Super Saiyan 4 body could withstand high-voltage currents and temperatures of 6,000 degrees without sustaining any damage.

"It's that powerful?!"

The group was stunned by Gogito's description of Super Saiyan 4!

Even Son Goku hadn't realized Super Saiyan 4 was that formidable, but he was quite happy; he had another powerful guy in Gogito to challenge, hehe!

Just then, the entire Earth began to tremble, with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurring across the globe.

"The Black Star Dragon Balls are gone!"

Mr. Popo emerged from the Lookout, his face pale with terror.

"What?"

Hearing Mr. Popo's words, Son Goku, Trunks, and Pan were shocked. They had clearly collected the Black Star Dragon Balls from space and handed them to Mr. Popo personally—how could they have vanished?

Dende suddenly knelt on the ground, blaming himself.

"It was when we were controlled by Baby; we handed the Black Star Dragon Balls over to him. Planet Tuffle was created using the Black Star Dragon Balls!"

Pan counted the days on her fingers and realized there were only two weeks left.

"What do we do? There are only two weeks left; there's no time to collect the Dragon Balls again!"

Pan was terrified and anxious, not knowing what to do.

"Small problem. Why not just go to Namek and borrow their Dragon Balls? Porunga is definitely more powerful than those Black Star Dragon Balls! We can also use the chance to turn Son Goku back into an adult and grow Vegeta's tail back to make it easier for him to transform."

Seeing how anxious everyone was, Gogito slowly shared his idea.

"That's right! Porunga's power is immense; he can certainly negate the power of the Black Star Dragon Balls!"

Dende said excitedly; no one understood the Namekian Dragon Balls better than he did.

"No time to waste, let's head out immediately."

Son Goku took Dende and left directly for Namek to borrow the Dragon Balls.

Just as Gogito had said, Porunga of Namek easily erased the power of the Black Star Dragon Balls. Earth was saved, and the remaining two wishes were used to restore Son Goku to his adult form and regrow Vegeta's tail.

Vegeta couldn't wait to attempt the Super Saiyan 4 transformation; he felt he could finally catch up to Kakarot, or perhaps even surpass him.

Son Goku tried to stop Vegeta from transforming on the Lookout, but Vegeta snapped back at him.

"Kakarot, do you think I'll lose my mind like you did when turning into a Great Ape? I am the Prince of the Saiyans!"

Son Goku recalled that when Vegeta first came to Earth, he had transformed into a Great Ape, and at that time, Vegeta hadn't lost his sanity—he had beaten Son Goku to a pulp. That was likely the most severe beating Son Goku had ever endured.

Vegeta then transformed right there on the Lookout. Just as he had claimed, he didn't lose his sanity and successfully achieved the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

Peace returned to Earth once more.

The World Martial Arts Tournament was held again. In the past, Mr. Satan always had Buu to back him up, ensuring he remained the champion, but now that Buu was gone, Mr. Satan decided to retire.

Mr. Satan intended for Pan to inherit his position, but when Pan heard that the champion would have to take over Mr. Satan's role, she imagined herself wearing that outfit—yikes! No way, it was too ugly, so Pan decisively withdrew from the competition.

As luck would have it, Uub had also disguised himself to win the prize money to help his family, entering the tournament under the alias Pineapple Man. He fought his way to the end to face Mr. Satan, but ultimately, influenced by the lingering presence of Buu, he allowed Mr. Satan to knock him out of the ring.

Gogito was also watching from the sidelines. Why? Because the system had issued another mission: help Mr. Satan find Buu.

The mission reward was Buu's magic.

That was why Gogito had come to the World Martial Arts Tournament, watching the matches while waiting for Uub to appear.

After the World Martial Arts Tournament concluded, Gogito found Mr. Satan and Uub and proposed his idea: he wanted to separate Uub and Buu once again.

However, he still needed to ask for their opinions; if they didn't agree, he would let it go. He didn't really need the mission reward anyway.

Gogito simply wanted to help Mr. Satan and Buu; the bond between those two was so deep that even he envied it.

Uub agreed, and how could Mr. Satan refuse?

Gogito used Forced Spirit Fission to separate Buu from Uub.

Although Uub is the reincarnation of the evil Buu, once reincarnated, he is no longer Buu; he merely inherited the potential of the evil Buu. Uub possesses none of the other traits, and his body cannot shatter and regenerate like Buu's, which precisely proves that Uub is already a complete individual. Fusing with Buu simply served to make Uub's power stronger.

At the time, Uub fusing with Buu was a desperate measure with no other options, so now that they have been able to separate, Uub is also very happy.

Mr. Satan held Buu, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, while the puppy they raised hopped around happily by their side, appearing just as joyful.

"Thank you so much, Gogito."

Mr. Satan gripped Gogito's hand tightly, repeating his thanks over and over until Gogito felt quite embarrassed.

Gogito hurriedly used Instant Transmission to make his escape. Arriving at the Sacred World of the Kai, he had some questions he wanted to ask the Old Kai.

Gogito wanted to see if a God of Destruction existed in this world, though this timeline did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Omni-Universe. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be one, as it was beyond the scope of the Omni-Universe.
