Summoning the Divine Dragon, the Resurrected Warrior

Capsule Corporation.

After another half year of training, Son Gohan and Piccolo raised the Gravity Chamber's multiplier to thirty times normal gravity.

Both of their strengths had undergone earth-shaking changes.

But since the only sparring partners they had were each other, neither of them had a firm grasp of their own power now.

They needed the scouter Raditz had brought to test it.

Bulma also wanted to know how much the two had improved, so she was naturally happy to help.

"There's actually no need to test it at all."

Piccolo was clearly very confident in himself. Standing at the front, he said, "I've now gained invincible power. No matter who comes, I'm guaranteed to win!"

As he spoke, the aura around him rapidly surged.

A white-hot aura enveloped his body before swiftly spreading outward.

He was clearly unleashing all the power he possessed!

Son Gohan merely smiled at him. He was quite familiar with this situation, since it was something most people in this world did.

Who hadn't thought they were invincible before?

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The scouter Bulma wore kept sounding, its numbers rapidly climbing. Even she, someone who knew nothing about training, widened her eyes.

"Battle power 4,200... 4,500... 4,700... 6,300. It's still rising?"

The fear in her eyes nearly spilled over.

The difference from the numbers she had measured before was simply too great. Her mouth fell open, her heart filled with shock.

"7,400!"

At last, the number on the scouter stopped at a fixed value.

This was Piccolo's power after training. Compared to his previous 408, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Even compared to the 1,200 they had when they first began training, the gap was enormous!

For a moment, Bulma did not know what to say.

When Son Gohan heard that number, a thoughtful look flashed through his eyes. He sparred with Piccolo every day, so he naturally had some sense of both their strengths.

If Piccolo's battle power was around 7,300, then his own should be close to 10,000!

Even he found this increase in battle power surprising.

After all, on the original path, he and Uncle Piccolo had trained for a year, yet his battle power had only been around 2,800.

Even though they had used the Gravity Chamber from the start this time, the improvement still delighted him.

At this point—

When the Saiyans attacked, he would have the ability to change everything!

"Not even 10,000 battle power?"

Although Piccolo's eyes held joy, he still put on a cold expression.

Bulma, who was monitoring the battle power, looked stunned. She clearly had not recovered from the shock yet—or perhaps she had, but was still worried about Piccolo.

"Your turn, Gohan!"

Piccolo reminded Gohan.

He had been sparring with Gohan these past few days and could naturally tell that Gohan was no weakling. But he had never known exactly how strong the kid was, so he wanted to see now.

Son Gohan was in no hurry to test his own battle power. He merely said, "Uncle Piccolo, measuring with battle power numbers alone isn't accurate. I think we should find an opponent to test ourselves against."

"An opponent? With your father gone, is there anyone on this Earth qualified to be my opponent?"

As he spoke, he slightly raised his gaze, clearly overflowing with confidence.

A faint smile appeared in Son Gohan's eyes. "There probably isn't anyone on Earth right now, so we could revive a former opponent."

"A former opponent?"

"Yes. For example, we could revive my uncle, Raditz!"

The moment he said that, Piccolo and Bulma were both left dumbfounded.

The two stared hard at Son Gohan, as though they thought something had gone wrong with the kid's brain. Otherwise, why would he want to revive Raditz?

That man had wanted to take him away back then. He had even killed his father.

And now he wanted to revive him?

"What are you thinking, wanting to revive Raditz?"

"I'm only making a suggestion. We don't have any opponents to compare ourselves against right now, so it's hard to know whether we can beat those two Saiyans. My uncle was their companion, so he should know some information about them."

"Hmph. With that guy's temperament... he might not obediently cooperate."

"That's true. But now, Uncle Piccolo, you should be able to defeat him easily, right?"

"Of course. As I am now, I won't lose to anyone."

"That's it. As long as Uncle Piccolo can beat him, we should be able to learn a lot from him."

A thoughtful look appeared in Piccolo's eyes. He was clearly seriously considering it.

But Bulma had already thought of something else. "If we revive that awful guy, setting aside whether he'll betray us afterward, Shenron still has to be saved to revive Goku. What are we supposed to do after using him now?"

Piccolo had thought of that as well, and he too looked at Son Gohan.

"That's simple. We can revive my dad too."

"But according to what Kami said, Goku went to train with King Kai. If we revive him now..."

"Aunt Bulma, have you revived anyone else before?"

"Yes!"

"Then based on your guess, if my dad's body is in the Other World, would he return directly to Earth after being revived? Or would he be revived where King Kai is?"

At Son Gohan's question, Bulma's eyes visibly took on a thoughtful look.

Based on their previous experience, Shenron's revival had no transportation function. Wherever the body was, that was where the person would be revived!

"He should be revived where King Kai is..."

"Then reviving him in half a year is still reviving him, and reviving him now is still reviving him. There isn't really much difference, right?"

"But Kami previously told us that Goku needed to train over there and asked us not to revive him for the time being. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to revive him directly?"

Naturally, Son Gohan knew why Kami had previously refused to revive him.

That was because only the dead could go to the Other World, and only the dead could undergo King Kai's Snake Way trial. That was why his father had needed the status of a dead person back then.

But judging by the time, his father had already arrived on King Kai's Planet, so there was no longer any need for him to remain dead.

Thinking of this, he said, "I think that was then, and this is now. How about asking Kami?"

"Hmph. If you want to ask him, just raise your head and shout. That old man is watching us right now."

Though Piccolo said that, he could not be bothered to so much as glance up at the sky.

Son Gohan and Bulma both looked up into the sky.

"Ahem. That's right, I have been observing this place. Your progress has truly been remarkable, far beyond my expectations."

Kami's voice seemed to ring within everyone's hearts, carrying an indescribable delight.

Piccolo merely snorted, his expression full of disdain.

"Then, Lord Kami, if we revive Goku now... what will happen?"

"Goku has already reached Lord King Kai's place. Even if he is revived, he will be revived there."

"So that means we can revive him early?"

"In theory, yes. King Kai's trial has already been completed, so Goku no longer needs to maintain the status of a dead person. But what I want to ask is, Gohan, why do you want to revive Raditz?"

Hearing the question, Son Gohan answered, "Because training needs a goal. Uncle Piccolo and I need to know the strength of those two Saiyans, and Raditz knows all that information."

That was what he said, but he actually had other thoughts in mind.

He knew there would be many powerful enemies in the future, enemies who were even more cunning and vicious. So he had to make more preparations.

And Raditz was one of those preparations.

Though this uncle of his was not very strong and had no ambition to improve, he was still a Saiyan.

If he could truly make him gentler as well, then when a major crisis came in the future, he could serve as one of the people summoned for the Super Saiyan God Ritual.

Then, if they truly encountered an unforeseeable crisis, they could bring forth a Super Saiyan God in advance.

And without saying anything else, at the very least, they would be fully capable of dealing with any enemies before the God of Destruction appeared.

But there was no need to tell Kami about that.

Saying it was for this coming battle was explanation enough.

"Wanting to learn information about the enemy in advance is not a bad idea. But that Raditz is an utterly vicious man. Are you really confident you can make him do as you say?"

"Yes, I am!"

Son Gohan nodded earnestly. He knew Raditz still had a little familial affection for his family, even if it was not much.

Still, he should be better than Vegeta. Vegeta could be redeemed, so why couldn't his uncle Raditz join the protagonists' side?

"If that is the case, then summon Shenron directly. I will contact Goku and Lord King Kai."

Kami let out a soft sigh, tacitly approving Gohan's decision.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Kami!"

After thanking Kami, Son Gohan turned his gaze toward Bulma.

"Just like your father. I really don't know what to do with you."

Bulma shook her head lightly as well, then had someone bring over the Dragon Balls they had gathered, preparing to make their wish.

Yet her gaze remained fixed on Son Gohan. Clearly, his performance today had surprised even her.

Although the child was only four years old, he was already exceptionally thorough when considering matters. In many ways, he had thought things through even more carefully than she had.

He was already beginning to resemble Goku.

A trace of wistfulness unconsciously appeared in her eyes, as though she had remembered those days when she first met Son Goku in the mountains...
