200% Tailed Beast Power

Kakarot watched as Gohan retracted the Tailed Beast Bomb behind him and reverted from his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki form; with that, the evil aura vanished once more.

Seeing him return to his original state, Kakarot was truly curious.

Looking around, he still couldn't understand where Kid Buu had gone.

"Gohan, why can't I see Kid Buu anymore? Did you destroy him? That's not right—that guy can regenerate endlessly."

"It shouldn't be that easy to destroy!"

Kakarot understood the terror of Kid Buu all too well; the most troublesome aspect of the creature was its ability to regenerate indefinitely.

As long as a single piece of flesh remained, the opponent could resurrect!

That was the source of Kid Buu's greatest strength.

Kid Buu, in particular, pushed that ability to the limit!

Therefore, Kakarot was deeply worried. Now that he couldn't detect Kid Buu's aura, he was even more confused about how Gohan had managed to deal with him.

Gohan waved a hand, his expression casual. "I drained and stripped away all of its abilities. Without any combat power or ki, it simply ceased to exist."

Kakarot froze, his face filled with astonishment as he stared in disbelief.

"Nani? How did you absorb all of Kid Buu's ki?"

"Wait, that posture from just a moment ago... right, that was Kid Buu's aura. Gohan, you have to be careful—don't let Kid Buu control you!"

Kakarot looked on with deep concern, terrified that Gohan might lose control. If Gohan were to go berserk, he feared even he wouldn't be able to stop him.

When he arrived, he had already sensed the terrifying nature of Gohan's aura.

After unlocking his potential and using the 100x Kaio-ken, Gohan was someone even he found difficult to keep up with!

He truly hadn't expected Gohan to surpass him.

Gohan wasn't worried about Kid Buu's aura controlling him; if anything, it was controlling the Ten-Tails. As it stood, the Ten-Tails had perfectly absorbed the energy.

It had reached 200% of its Tailed Beast power!

The earlier attack on Kakarot had merely been the Tailed Beast protecting its master.

He smiled and reverted from his Super Saiyan 3 state; his white hair vanished, and Gohan returned to his original form.

"It won't happen, Father. Don't worry. It's done; Kid Buu has been dealt with."

"Let's head back and see if we can find the Dragon Balls to resurrect everyone on Earth!"

At the mention of this, Kakarot's eyes lit up. He nodded, concerned for the safety of humanity, and accompanied Gohan back.

They still needed to find the Dragon Balls to bring everyone on Earth back to life!

After all, Vegeta had been killed as well and was currently in a spiritual state.

This time, the Dragon Balls were needed to resurrect Vegeta!

At the same time, Gohan wanted to use the Dragon Balls for something else, as the Earth's Dragon Balls had been upgraded by Dende and could now grant two wishes.

The first wish would be to resurrect all of humanity.

He intended to use the second wish for himself, as he wanted to see if he could further develop his Ultra Instinct.

Or perhaps have Shenron help him strengthen his minor abilities!

In truth, the power of the Shenron on Earth was limited and could not compare to the power of the Super Dragon Balls!

The Super Dragon Balls were as large as planets and could grant any wish.

The Earth's Dragon Balls, however, could only grant ordinary wishes. For instance, if one were to ask the Earth's Shenron for immortality, it would be effective against ordinary people, but one would still perish if attacked by a god!

Therefore, Gohan wasn't considering asking Shenron for extraordinary power; simply strengthening his own abilities would be more than enough.

Upon their return, Kakarot announced that Kid Buu had been defeated, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

The way they looked at Gohan had changed; after all, Gohan had defeated Kid Buu single-handedly.

Yamcha, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan were filled with admiration.

Even Piccolo was thrilled; he was naturally overjoyed that Gohan had become so powerful!

Soon, another matter was brought up.

"Right, we want to find the Dragon Balls now to resurrect everyone. Dende, can you pinpoint their locations?"

Dende nodded and provided the coordinates. Before Kakarot could move, Gohan spoke up first.

"Father, leave the search for the Dragon Balls to me. Since they can grant two wishes..."

"The first wish will be to resurrect the people of Earth, but I would like to use the second wish for something I need!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Kakarot hesitated, but Krillin and the others spoke up voluntarily.

"Haha, Gohan defeated Kid Buu this time, so he should be rewarded with a wish. After all, we owe it all to Gohan's help."

"That's right, Gohan fulfilling the wish is perfectly fine. This time, all of humanity on Earth should be thanking Gohan."

"If it weren't for Gohan, we all would have ended up in Hell!"

The group's words made Kakarot nod in agreement. Without saying anything further, he left the task of finding the Dragon Balls to Gohan.

Gohan took the Dragon Radar and stood up without a second thought.

Videl originally wanted to go with him, but he refused; for a task like finding the Dragon Balls, he could handle it alone.

He took off instantly, heading toward the first location.

At his current speed, half a day was more than enough to collect all seven Dragon Balls!

However, as he was rushing to one of the locations to collect a ball, someone followed him from behind.

It wasn't Videl. To his surprise, it was Android 18. This beautiful android really did have a special feeling for him.

Gohan curled his lips into a smile.

He slowed down, waiting for Android 18 to catch up. Looking at her indifferent expression, Gohan spoke up.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet for blocking that attack for Videl earlier."

"If you're ever short on money, just let me know!"

Android 18 gave him a calm glance and let out a cold snort, still sounding quite haughty: "I just didn't want to see that guy killing people indiscriminately!"

This woman really was a tsundere!

Shaking his head, Gohan didn't dwell on it. Arriving at the first location, he easily retrieved a Dragon Ball from underwater and held it in his hand.

This small glass bead was quite strange; even he couldn't sense the power hidden within it.

Come to think of it, Shenron could be considered a deity, a type of auxiliary god!

As he picked up the first Dragon Ball, Android 18 watched everything, her gaze fixed on him as she couldn't help but speak.

"Right, what wish do you intend to make? Your strength is already strong enough; do you still want to enhance yourself?"

Gohan nodded, his expression calm: "Yes, I plan to continue strengthening my power and further develop my abilities!"

Android 18 looked puzzled: "Why? You should have already surpassed Kakarot. Earth's number one—no, the universe's number one—that should be you now!"

Mentioning this, Gohan curled his lips, his face calm: "No, Earth's number one is fine, but as for the universe's number one, I haven't reached that level yet!"
