The next day, Gogeta woke up and looked at the bloodstain on the bedsheet. Having lived two lives, he finally shed the title of virgin.

In the days that followed, Gogeta lived quite comfortably. Until half a year later, when Tights became pregnant, Gogeta devoted all his time to caring for her and only trained when he had the chance. As Tights's belly grew larger and larger, Gogeta began to worry about whether he could truly be a good father. He fell into confusion over it, but fortunately, Tights was there to counsel him. Gogeta gradually became confident that he could be a good father.

Three months into Tights's pregnancy, Bulma also became pregnant with Trunks. Double happiness!

Dr. Brief and Mrs. Brief were so happy they could barely close their mouths, grinning all day long.

But Vegeta still focused on training every day. What an idiot.

Ten months later, Tights gave birth to a girl. Gogeta named her Ais, and from then on, he became a complete daughter doting father.

Whenever Trunks made Ais cry, Gogeta would beat Vegeta up, claiming it was to train his ability to take a beating. Vegeta had no way to complain—he could neither beat Gogeta nor escape him.

Time flew by.

Three years later, Ais was over a year old and could walk and talk. Whenever Gogeta heard little Ais call him Daddy in her soft, sweet voice, his heart melted. Whatever little Ais wanted, Gogeta gave her. Even if Beerus came, he would have to be little Ais's pet cat. Gogeta said so.

After little Ais was born, Gogeta was deeply moved. He comprehended perfect Ultra Instinct and successfully transformed into silver-haired Ultra Instinct, greatly increasing his strength.

Son Goku and Vegeta were also far stronger than they had been at the same point in time, both reaching Super Saiyan Full Power. Little Gohan successfully completed his training under Master Roshi and also learned the Super Saiyan transformation. Gogeta's mission was complete.

The others had also made obvious progress.

One day, everyone suddenly sensed a large number of ki signatures vanishing in the south. Earth's warriors rushed over to investigate. Gogeta originally had no intention of going—it was only androids, after all—but both Bulma and Tights wanted to see what the androids looked like. Worried about his wives' safety, Gogeta went along as well.

Son Goku and Vegeta arrived first and saw only a destroyed city. The others soon arrived, and everyone searched together, but found no trace of the androids.

Just then, Bulma arrived in a plane. Seeing everyone's grim expressions, she knew they had not caught the androids. Tights was a little disappointed. She turned around, grabbed Gogeta's clothes, and coquettishly asked, "Gogeta, do you have any ideas?"

Holding his daughter, Gogeta 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."

"I see!"

"Then let's not waste time. 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 danger. By the time the two returned to the entrance of the laboratory, Son Goku and the others had already been waiting for a long time.

When Dr. Gero saw so many people gathered there, he was stunned. How had these people found the place so quickly? He ordered Android 19 to stall for time while he went back to activate Android 17 and Android 18.

Gohan stepped forward to face Android 19. Son Goku and Vegeta did not move; both wanted to see how strong the androids were.

Gohan did not waste any time. He transformed directly into a Super Saiyan and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Android 19. Android 19 seized an opportunity, grabbed Gohan's arm, and began absorbing his energy. But after Master Roshi's teachings and witnessing that hellish future, Gohan no longer had the slightest habit of underestimating his enemies. At this moment, Gohan was like Son Goku just after completing his training as a child—he showed no mercy toward evil people and exterminated them completely.

Back then, little Son Goku's opponent had been the Red Ribbon Army. Now, Gohan's opponent was also the Red Ribbon Army. The resemblance was astonishing.

Gohan exerted force with both hands and tore off Android 19's arms. Sensing that things had gone wrong, Android 19 tried to flee, but Gohan finished him with a Ki Blast.

Dr. Gero successfully activated Android 17 and Android 18 as well. The laboratory doors slowly opened, and Dr. Gero burst into laughter. He did not know that Son Goku and Vegeta had already become very strong, because the tiny robots he had sent out had been destroyed by Gogeta before they could even get close.

"Prepare to die! Hahahaha!!"

Before Dr. Gero could finish laughing, a hand pierced through his chest. It was Android 17. Dr. Gero turned around in disbelief and was just about to say something when Android 17 kicked his head clean off.

"You noisy old man, who would listen to you?"

Android 17 clapped his hands and was about to turn around when he spotted Son Goku among the crowd.

"Son Goku!!"

Hearing Android 17's voice, Android 18 turned around as well.

"Huh? You know me?"

Son Goku asked curiously.

Gohan explained, "Dad, they're androids created by Dr. Gero. Their purpose is to take revenge on Son Goku, who destroyed the Red Ribbon Army. Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Gohan felt a little helpless. His dad really made people worry. No wonder Mom always wanted him to study hard—she was afraid he would become this kind of idiot.

"He's right. We are androids created to take revenge on you."

Android 17 confirmed Gohan's words.

Clang~

The lid containing Android 16 fell to the ground, drawing everyone's attention. When Android 18 had wanted to call Android 17 over to take a look earlier, she had accidentally pressed the activation button. Android 16's huge body emerged from within.

Android 16 remained expressionless as his gaze swept over everyone. 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's right."

Android 16 answered expressionlessly.

"Son Goku is right here. Let's kill him!"

Upon hearing Android 16's answer, Android 17 pointed at Son Goku and invited Android 16 to join him.

"No. From what I could sense, Son Goku's energy far exceeded the combined total of the three of us. Vegeta was the same."

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

"Hmph! This pile of scrap has quite an eye for things!"

Hearing Android 16's words, Vegeta praised him.

Android 17 couldn't believe he wasn't number one in the world. Wanting to prove himself, he charged at Vegeta.

"Hmph! You overestimate yourself."

Seeing Android 17 rush at him, Vegeta looked utterly disdainful. Transforming into a Super Saiyan, he sent Android 17 sprawling to the ground with a single strike, unable to get back up.

At that moment, was Vegeta thinking to himself, So this was what it felt like when Gogeta beat me. Back then, I was practically a clown.

Gogeta: That's right. Exactly what you're thinking.
