Goku Returns to Adulthood, Vegeta Transforms into Super Saiyan 4

After defeating Baby, Kibito Kai used Ultra Divine Water to purify the people still on Earth and Planet Tuffle. Everyone regained their senses.

Bulma also learned the origins of the two from Tights, while Gogeta reintroduced himself to everyone.

Using Son Goku's Instant Transmission, everyone returned to Earth's Lookout, where they chatted and laughed together.

"Gogeta, I can tell—you're very strong!!"

Having reverted to a child, Goku spoke to Gogeta.

Pan also had a question for Gogeta.

"Before Grandpa took Baby's Revenge Death Ball, Uncle Gogeta said Grandpa was going to win. How did you know?"

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

"Well! I can transform into Super Saiyan 4 myself, so I know what Super Saiyan 4 is capable of."

"Super Saiyan 4 naturally has the ability to absorb energy and use it to strengthen itself. Unless the gap in power is too great and the body can't withstand it—but a Super Saiyan 4's body is exceptionally tough. The moment Baby used Revenge Death Ball, he had already lost."

"Other than high-consumption attacks like energy waves, Super Saiyan 4 has no other weaknesses."

Gogeta's words left everyone stunned.

Even when Super Saiyan 4 Goku had been beaten that badly by Baby, he had not reverted to normal, which meant that maintaining Super Saiyan 4 required very little energy—or perhaps consumed none at all. A Super Saiyan 4's body could also withstand high-voltage electricity and temperatures of six thousand degrees. None of that could harm a Super Saiyan 4's body.

"That's incredible!!"

Everyone was shocked by Gogeta's description of Super Saiyan 4!

Even Goku himself had not expected Super Saiyan 4 to be so powerful. Still, he was quite happy—there was now another powerful guy, Gogeta, for him to challenge. Hehe!

At that moment, the entire Earth began to shake. Earthquakes erupted across the globe, and volcanoes started erupting.

"The Black Star Dragon Balls are gone!!"

Mr. Popo came out from inside the Lookout and spoke with a terrified expression.

"What?"

Hearing Mr. Popo's words, Goku, Trunks, and Pan were utterly shocked. They had clearly gathered the Black Star Dragon Balls from across the universe and personally handed them to Mr. Popo. How could they have disappeared?

Dende suddenly fell to his knees and said remorsefully, "When we were under Baby's control, we gave the Black Star Dragon Balls to him. Planet Tuffle was created using the Black Star Dragon Balls!"

Pan counted the days on her fingers and discovered that only two weeks remained.

"What do we do? There are only two weeks left! That's nowhere near enough time to gather the Dragon Balls again!"

Pan was frightened and anxious, with no idea what to do.

"It's a small problem. Why not just borrow the Dragon Balls from Namek? Porunga is definitely stronger than those Black Star Dragon Balls! While we're at it, we can turn Goku back into an adult and make Vegeta's tail grow back too, so he can transform more easily."

Seeing how anxious everyone was, Gogeta calmly voiced his thoughts.

"That's right! Porunga's power is incredibly strong. He can definitely erase the Black Star Dragon Balls' power!!"

Dende said excitedly. No one understood Namek's Dragon Balls better than he did.

"There's no time to waste. Let's leave immediately."

Goku took Dende and headed straight to Namek to borrow the Dragon Balls.

Just as Gogeta had said, Namek's Porunga easily erased the power of the Black Star Dragon Balls, saving Earth. The remaining two wishes were used to restore Goku to adulthood and regrow Vegeta's tail.

Vegeta could not wait to try transforming into Super Saiyan 4. He felt that he could catch up to Kakarot again, perhaps even surpass him.

Goku wanted to stop Vegeta from transforming at the Lookout, but Vegeta snapped at him, "Kakarot, do you think I'll lose my mind when I turn into a Great Ape like you do? I'm the Prince of all Saiyans!"

Goku also remembered that Vegeta had transformed into a Great Ape once when he first came to Earth. Back then, Vegeta had not lost his mind and had beaten Goku senseless. That was probably the most severely injured Goku had ever been.

Then Vegeta transformed right there on the Lookout. Just as he had said, he did not lose his mind and successfully became Super Saiyan 4.

Earth returned to peace once more.

The World Martial Arts Tournament was held again. In the past, Mr. Satan had always had Buu backing him up, so the championship had always belonged to Mr. Satan. But this time, Buu was already dead, and Mr. Satan decided to step down.

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

As fate would have it, Uub also entered the tournament in disguise. To earn prize money to support his family, he competed under the alias Pineapple Man. He even made it to the finals, where he faced Mr. Satan in a decisive match, but in the end, under Buu's influence, he was knocked out of the ring by Mr. Satan.

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

The mission reward was Buu's magic.

That was why Gogeta had come to the World Martial Arts Tournament—to watch the matches and wait for Uub to appear.

After the World Martial Arts Tournament ended, Gogeta found Mr. Satan and Uub and proposed his idea. He wanted to separate Uub and Buu once again.

Of course, he still had to ask for their opinions. If they disagreed, then so be it. He could do without the mission reward anyway; it was not particularly useful.

Gogeta simply wanted to help Mr. Satan and Buu. The bond between those two ran so deep that even he envied it.

Uub agreed. How could Mr. Satan possibly disagree?

Gogeta used Forced Spirit Fission to separate Buu from Uub.

Although Uub was the reincarnation of Evil Buu, reincarnation meant he was no longer Buu. He had merely inherited Evil Buu's potential; Uub possessed none of Buu's other abilities, and his body could not regenerate after being shattered like Buu's could. That was precisely what proved Uub had become a complete individual. Fusing with Buu had only made Uub stronger.

When Uub had fused with Buu, he had been backed into a corner with no other options. Now that they could be separated again, Uub was delighted as well.

Mr. Satan held Buu in his arms, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. The little dog they had raised happily bounced around nearby, looking overjoyed too.

"Thank you so much, Gogeta."

Mr. Satan tightly gripped Gogeta's hand and kept thanking him, making Gogeta feel embarrassed.

Gogeta quickly used Instant Transmission to make his escape. He arrived in the Supreme Kai World, as he had some questions for Old Supreme Kai.

Gogeta wanted to know whether a God of Destruction existed in this world. However, this timeline was not under the management of the entire universe, so logically, there should not be one, right? It had already gone beyond the scope of the entire universe.
