Meeting Everyone at the Temple of the Heavenly God

In Gogeta's perception, Mr. Popo's ki was not even as strong as Piccolo's. It was about the same as everyone else's, while Kami was the weakest among them.

Mr. Popo wore an outfit resembling that of ancient Egypt. With his dark skin, slightly plump build, and expressionless face, he silently followed at Kami's side.

No matter how Gogeta looked at him, Mr. Popo did not seem like some hidden powerhouse. But Gogeta had no way to test him right now, so he turned to observe Krillin and the others instead.

Krillin and the others were talking quietly, occasionally glancing at Gogeta. They seemed to be discussing him.

"Do you think we can trust what that guy said?"

"He doesn't look like he's lying. Besides, he even told us to call Bulma and ask her ourselves. It should be true."

"I think so too."

"That guy looks really strong. We can't sense his ki at all. How did he get to Kami's Lookout without us noticing? If he wanted to kill us, we wouldn't even be able to run."

Just then, Yamcha returned after finding the phone and immediately called Bulma.

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"

"Yamcha, how many times did I call you before? You never picked up. You're getting pretty bold, aren't you?"

The moment Bulma answered, she launched into a barrage of scolding.

"Uh, well..."

Yamcha did not know how to respond and froze on the spot. Krillin snatched the phone and said, "Bulma, now isn't the time to argue over that. Isn't Yamcha working hard to train for Earth too?"

"Yeah, yeah," Yamcha echoed from the side.

"Do you think I'm that unreasonable? I called so many times because I had something important to tell you. A few days ago, I took apart Raditz's scouter and found a listening device inside. It was probably used to monitor the Saiyans. The matter of the Dragon Balls may already have been exposed."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked. The Dragon Balls were the most important thing on Earth. Other than those two Saiyans, there were others who knew about them?

"Of course, it's also possible that nothing was exposed. They couldn't have been monitoring Raditz every second of the day. According to Raditz, the other two Saiyans are even stronger than him, so they may have been the primary targets for surveillance."

Even after hearing Bulma's analysis, everyone was still worried. Anyone capable of monitoring Saiyans had to be stronger than Saiyans.

"Alright, enough about that. What did you call me for?" Bulma asked.

"It's like this. A Saiyan came here. He said he followed your sister Tights to Earth, so we wanted to confirm it with you. After all, he's a Saiyan."

"You mean Gogeta? He actually went over to your place? He's my brother-in-law. He only arrived on Earth today, so don't worry. I trust my sister's judgment."

Hearing that, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That Gogeta guy had truly given them a rather terrifying feeling.

"So? Are you done asking?"

After seeing them finish the call, Gogeta walked over and asked.

"Sorry, Gogeta. Earth's survival is at stake, so we had to be a little cautious," Krillin said apologetically.

"I know, I know. Given the situation, there's nothing wrong with being careful."

Gogeta did not mind.

"The two coming to Earth should be Vegeta and one of his subordinates. The only Saiyans left are them, me, and Kakarot."

Gogeta continued, "Vegeta is the Saiyan prince. He has incredible talent. His power level was already three thousand when he was born, and now it's nearly twenty thousand."

"How are you going to protect Earth?"

Gogeta looked at them and continued, "Your strongest person right now only has a power level close to two thousand. Even if you train more, you won't be able to improve that much."

"So what you lack most right now is time."

Gogeta's words changed everyone's expressions.

The reason Gogeta had said all that was to get Kami and Mr. Popo to take them to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Gogeta wanted to try transforming into Super Saiyan 4 again. Before, it might have been because his control over his own power had been insufficient. After training on Planet Yardrat for half a year, Gogeta felt that he could transform into Super Saiyan 4.

"That Vegeta guy is that strong?"

"Then how are we supposed to win?!!!"

Krillin and Chiaotzu were so frightened that their faces turned pale, while Yamcha and Tien Shinhan wore equally grave expressions.

"That's why I said what you lack is time."

"Do you have any way to delay their arrival, or something that can accelerate time? I heard you have something called the Dragon Balls that can grant any wish."

Gogeta was actually saying this for Mr. Popo to hear.

Sure enough, Mr. Popo said, "If you want something that accelerates time, Kami's Lookout has a room called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. One year inside is only one day outside."

"But the conditions inside are extremely harsh. Goku only stayed in there for a month when he was little, and a person can only enter for two days in their entire life. If you exceed the time limit, the entrance will disappear. And only two people can enter at a time."

Mr. Popo explained the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's functions and precautions to everyone.

"There's actually a place like this at Kami's Lookout? Mr. Popo, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Because the environment inside is extremely harsh, and I didn't know time would become so urgent."

Mr. Popo answered.

"Let's get ready and go in two at a time to train. If we really can't endure it, we'll come out and switch with someone else."

Tien Shinhan arranged.

"I'll go find those other two. They're both pretty decent fighters, and I'll tell them about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber while I'm at it."

Gogeta planned to find Piccolo and Gohan. Gohan's talent was too good to waste.

No sooner said than done, Gogeta used Instant Transmission and arrived directly where Gohan and Piccolo were.

At that moment, Piccolo and Gohan were sparring. Though it could hardly be called sparring—Piccolo was brutally beating Gohan one-sidedly, leaving him bruised and swollen.

"Yo, you're Piccolo?" Gogeta raised a hand in greeting.

"You... you're a Saiyan?" Piccolo reacted instantly, his expression changing drastically.

"Don't panic. Listen to me first." Gogeta explained the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to Piccolo, then continued, "I'm taking Gohan to Bulma's house. I'll be the one guiding him from now on. Since we're both Saiyans, I can help him grow stronger more effectively."

Without waiting for Piccolo to respond, Gogeta flashed forward, scooped up Gohan, and used Instant Transmission to return to West City.

At Bulma's house, Gogeta suddenly appeared, startling the three women. Once she saw who it was, Tights lightly slapped Gogeta's arm and said coyly, "Don't just appear out of nowhere like that. It's scary."

Gogeta chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Then he set Gohan down. Only then did Bulma notice him. She hurried over and said, "Where did you find Gohan? Do you know Chi-Chi is practically worried to death?"
