I Will Change My Fate!

Hearing this, King Kai grew interested. He wondered if Son Goku's sudden loss of consciousness had somehow inspired a breakthrough.

"Then tell me what the method is. Perhaps I can help," King Kai asked.

"Well, King Kai, I've found a clue about the energy leakage problem with Super Saiyan Third Grade. Perhaps it's because I'm not complete that I've never been able to perfect Super Saiyan Third Grade." Son Goku shared everything on his mind in one breath.

King Kai was thoroughly confused. "Not complete? Goku, what part of you is missing?"

Son Goku said nothing more, merely glancing at the spot behind his backside.

"Your tail?" King Kai finally understood what Son Goku meant by the missing part.

The tail was once what allowed the Saiyans to display their true power.

"That's right. Back then, Kami removed my tail using a special method, and it hasn't grown back since. If I can get it to grow back, I have a feeling I can take another step forward." Son Goku knew full well how important his tail was to him.

Ever since mastering the Super Saiyan transformation, he had regarded his tail as unnecessary, even believing it could be a hindrance in battle.

For years, he had used his power to suppress the spot where his tail had been. With all those years of suppression and the passage of time, flesh had long since filled the spot, so getting it to grow back would not be easy.

It was only after Old Kai pulled his tail out back then that he realized how important tails were to Saiyans.

After listening to Son Goku's explanation, King Kai fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"There's a saying that's been passed down among your people: whenever the full moon rises, it's time for you Saiyans to show your true power."

"From what you just said, perhaps tails have always been indispensable to you Saiyans."

"But after all these years, your tail still hasn't grown back. I'm afraid it might never grow back on its own."

"Let me think of a way to make it grow back. There should be some people in the universe who have that ability."

King Kai naturally would not refuse a chance to help Son Goku reach greater heights.

Besides, Son Goku was his disciple, so naturally, the stronger he was, the better. As long as Goku was strong enough, King Kai would feel more confident when boasting to the other Kais.

"You don't need to trouble yourself with that, King Kai. I just need to borrow the Dragon Balls." Son Goku had set his sights on the Dragon Balls.

"The Dragon Balls? Surely there's no need to use them for such a small matter?" King Kai asked in surprise, somewhat puzzled.

It was only a small matter of growing a tail. He had plenty of talented people under him, and with just a little effort, he was sure to find some with special abilities who could make Son Goku's tail grow back.

"If it were just to grow my tail back, of course I wouldn't use the Dragon Balls. But it's been so many years. Isn't it time we brought you back to life too, King Kai?"

"You got dragged into the whole thing with Cell because of me. Now that I think about it, I do feel a little bad."

Son Goku looked at King Kai, who had a halo over his head, and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

Back then, he really had nowhere else to go, so he could only bring the self-destructing Cell to King Kai's Planet.

King Kai was still dead now. If anything unexpected happened in the future and Goku brought a few more self-destructing guys over, blowing King Kai to death, he would be dead for good.

"Goku... you..." King Kai was actually a little touched by Son Goku's words.

After all these years, he had thought Son Goku had long since forgotten about his death without a care.

He had not expected his beloved disciple to still have him in mind.

Luckily, he could not read minds. If he could, hearing what Son Goku was thinking would surely have made him curse him out.

"Well then, King Kai, I'll head back to Earth first." There was no time to lose. After waving goodbye to King Kai, Son Goku sensed Bulma's ki on Earth and locked onto it, then used Instant Transmission to leave King Kai's Planet.

Earth.

Ever since Majin Buu had been dealt with two years ago, Earth had enjoyed a very pleasant period of peace.

Mr. Satan had become Earth's public savior, humanity's memories had been erased thanks to Shenron, and Fat Buu had also joined the peaceful life of Earth's people.

The other companions had each returned to their own lives as well.

Krillin had become a traffic cop to make a living, maintaining order in West City.

Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu had founded a martial arts dojo and become grandmasters, teaching martial arts to ordinary people.

Son Gohan had devoted himself to his studies, and his relationship with Videl had grown ever closer. Deeply in love, the two had already begun discussing when to get married.

With the world at peace, Son Gohan had once again given up training. His abilities were steadily declining, and as he continued downhill, he was gradually becoming Nobihan.

Piccolo, meanwhile, had lived at Kami's Lookout for years and had not given up training himself. Although he had come to recognize the gap between himself and the Saiyans, he would not give up the pursuit of his own limits.

As for Vegeta, ever since Son Goku defeated Majin Buu two years ago, he had acknowledged Son Goku's strength. But that did not mean he would always be content to remain second best.

As the proud Saiyan Prince, he would treasure every minute and second he now had, devoting himself entirely to training so that he could catch up to Son Goku as soon as possible and then surpass him.

At a luxurious estate more than ten kilometers from Capsule Corporation.

This was Bulma's private domain, as well as his exclusive vacation spot.

She spent her leisurely hours each day at this private estate.

Vegeta's gravity training room had also been set up on the estate, and he was training in it now.

As for Bulma, she was lying on a sun lounger, relaxing with a glass of blue liquid in her hand.

Just then...

Whoosh! A sound rang out as something cut through the air.

Son Goku appeared in front of Bulma using Instant Transmission.

"Hey, Bulma!" Son Goku greeted her.

"Son-kun?!" Bulma was surprised when Son Goku suddenly appeared in front of her.

She knew Son Goku usually would not come looking for her on his own. When he did, it was generally because something had come up or he happened to need his help.

"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other in a while. What made you suddenly think to come see me this time, Sonkyoku?" Bulma got up from her sun lounger, removed her sunglasses, and asked curiously.

"I'm here to borrow the Dragon Radar. There are some things I need Shenron's help with." Son Goku did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
