Dragon Ball: The Strongest Goten Chapter 035

Gohan still wanted to decline. “Goten, you go first. With your strength, if your potential is developed, you can definitely defeat Majin Buu.”

Goten refused.

“Nii-san, even if I don’t develop my potential, Buu can’t do anything to me. But I know that with your potential, once it’s developed, you can definitely defeat Majin Buu. Old man, begin.”

Old Kaioshin pouted. “Got it. So much chatter for such a young age.”

“I’ll introduce you to some girls.”

“Now that you mention it, I’m not sleepy anymore.”

Gohan couldn’t refuse either and sat cross-legged. The ritual began, and Old Kaioshin pushed his hands forward and started dancing a comical dance.

Half a day later, Goku started complaining.

“How long will this ritual take? I’m starving. Is food included here?”

Old Kai was speechless. “No, it’s not. The ritual will take a full half-day.”

“Ah?! That long? And no food? Don’t you Kaioshin eat? King Kai definitely eats…”

“Goku! Goku!…”

Speaking of King Kai, King Kai’s voice startled Goku!

“Huh?! King Kai, I’m not in the living world anymore, you don’t need to rush me. By the way, can you prepare some food for me? A lot of it. Goten and Gohan are here too.”

But King Kai cursed loudly. “Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat! One Saiyan isn’t enough, and you brought two more! Something’s happened! Where are you? Come back quickly!”

“I’m in the Kaioshin Realm.”

“I don’t care where you are, even if you’re in the Kaioshin Realm, you still need to… The Kaioshin Realm?!”

The air suddenly went silent, and King Kai didn’t speak for a long time.

Goku tentatively whispered, “King Kai…?”

Just then, King Kai cautiously probed, “Um… Is Kaioshin-sama there?”

“Yes, not only is Kaioshin here, Old Kaioshin is here too.”

“…………”

The next second, King Kai’s respectful voice came through. “Kaioshin-sama, I am the North Kai of this universe. I was truly rude just now, but it was an urgent matter. Goku, that idiot, didn’t disrespect you, did he?”

Although Kaioshin Shin was rather useless and feared Beerus, he was indeed a god on the same level as Beerus.

Though Kaioshin and Kai differed by only one character, the former was two levels higher than the latter. If a Kai was a king who managed one side of the universe, then a Kaioshin was a god who managed the Kais.

“By the way, Goten is there too. That child is sensible and polite. Quickly bring your father back. How can such a grown man still not let me rest easy?”

Kaioshin Shin and Old Kai heard this with black lines forming on their foreheads. Where was this Goten polite and sensible?! He was a complete devil!

“No matter, Mr. Goku did nothing rude, but…”

Kaioshin Shin’s words were cut off by a glare from Goten.

What are you looking at? Polite? That’s Y’s business, what does it have to do with X and Z? Martial virtue? Master never taught it.

“King Kai, don’t worry. What happened? Is it Buu? You don’t need to worry about that. Someone on Earth can handle him.”

King Kai’s anxious voice came from the sky. “It’s not Buu! It’s the Other World! Something big happened in the Other World! Some evil entity appeared from nowhere and turned the Other World upside down. Even King Yemma was sealed! All the dead in Hell have resurrected with their physical bodies!”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked by this news. Buu hadn’t been dealt with, and now such a huge matter had arisen.

Only Goten knew. Was it Janemba? Another movie boss. He was an evil entity born from the leakage of accumulated universal evil energy due to a red ogre’s dereliction of duty. His power would only be stronger than Buu’s; Super Saiyan 3 Goku would be suppressed.

As expected, Earth’s X Goten quickly sent a message.

“Come back to Earth quickly! For some reason, all the people who died before have resurrected!”

The Earth was in chaos, filled with resurrected bad guys causing destruction everywhere.

“Come back to Earth.”

“Don’t move.”

Gohan was also very anxious and wanted to stand up but was stopped by Old Kai.

Goten lowered his head and thought for a moment.

“Son Goku, you go back to Hell first and check the situation. Earth is already in chaos. Nii-san, you can rest assured and develop your potential here. Earth has me, don’t worry. I’ll go back to Earth first, and then I’ll go to the Other World from King Kai’s Planet via Snake Way to help you.”

Living people cannot directly go to the Other World, but King Kai’s Planet is connected to Snake Way, which leads to the Other World.

Goku nodded dejectedly; Goten still wouldn’t call him Dad.

The next moment, Goku used Instant Transmission to leave.

Goten walked up to Kibito, scaring Kibito speechless. In his eyes, Goten was not an easy person to get along with.

“Can your Instant Transmission go anywhere?”

“Hm?… Yes. To be precise, yes. As long as I’ve seen it, been there, or know its location, I can go there.”

“Teach me.”

“I can’t. It’s not an innate ability of mine; it was granted to me after becoming a Kaioshin’s attendant.”

Goten turned to look at Kaioshin. Kaioshin Shin, looked at by Goten, nodded nervously.

“We Kaioshin don’t have this ability, but once someone becomes our attendant, they are granted this ability. It’s for better service and protection of the Kaioshin.”

“Are there any restrictions?”

“No… You cannot harm the Kaioshin. You need to protect the Kaioshin.”

“Alright, let me become your attendant.”

Kibito was stunned. You’re so strong, is it really okay to steal my job?!

At the same time, everyone present was too shocked to speak. You have no respect for Kaioshin, yet you’re willing to be his servant?!

Of course, Goten wouldn’t truly be Kaioshin’s servant. However, in exchange for a flawless Instant Transmission and a god-level technique comparable to a Senzu Bean, all while ensuring Kaioshin’s life, and not actually being a servant, it was a good deal.

Kaioshin Shin was a bit at a loss, looking at Old Kaioshin in a panic.

Old Kaioshin was much calmer. “Take him, why not? Isn’t it good to have another powerful attendant protecting you? And this kid is far more terrifying than he looks…” Old Kaioshin said meaningfully in the end.

It seemed this old man wasn’t as simple as he appeared.

Kaioshin, seeing his ancestor’s approval, agreed. He walked over to Goten, raised his right hand, and placed it on Goten’s forehead.

“Ha!”

Kaioshin roared, and a strange energy entered Goten’s body. Goten could clearly feel that he and Kaioshin had formed some kind of contract.

Goten once again raised his hand towards Kaioshin, condensing a green energy blast.

“Damn it! Again!”

After a while, sure enough, Goten couldn’t make any moves to harm Kaioshin!

Kaioshin also relaxed. The contract was successful, and he was no longer as afraid of Goten. However, he still wouldn’t dare order Goten around like he did Kibito.

Goten showed a faint smile.

“Alright, I’ll protect your life from now on. You guys watch over my brother. I’m going back to Earth.”

Wearing a new mask, Goten disappeared the next second.

On Earth, X Goten paced anxiously back and forth in the Lookout.

“Why isn’t that bastard back yet!”

“The first thing I hear when I come back is you cursing at me…”

Z Goten’s voice came from behind him.

“You’re finally back! Do you know what’s going on?”

Z Goten nodded. “It’s Janemba.”

“That guy! This is going to be tough. Can you handle him?”

“Yes.”

X Goten patted his chest in relief. “Then I can just mess around freely.”

Z Goten looked around. “Where are Vegeta and Piccolo-san?”

“Vegeta-san is hiding in his room practicing fusion poses. Piccolo-san and Y went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. According to you, they went to train in Demonization.”

When the Demonization skill appeared, Z Goten had already planned this. He felt it was necessary to help his mentor increase his strength; this had been Piccolo’s long-standing regret.

Just then, two heavily scarred figures walked out, supporting each other.

Z Goten instinctively moved to help Piccolo but stopped himself.

X Goten said happily, “You guys are out! Did you succeed?”

The two didn’t speak but exchanged a smile. It seemed they had succeeded.

“Thank you so much, Goten, for letting Goten help me train.”

“Hey, Piccolo-san, why are you being so polite with me… Huh?!”

Goten reacted, his eyes wide as he looked at Piccolo.

Piccolo didn’t speak, looking at Goten with a half-smile.

“Piccolo-san, you…”

“You little brat, you really tricked us.”

Goten immediately prostrated himself in apology. “Piccolo-san, I was wrong!”

Splitting into three identical selves was still against human nature in reality. It was no different from clones. There was a difference between clones and duplicates; they might not be able to accept it.

Piccolo, however, helped Goten up.

“Although it was a bit excessive, you brat, using the Four Witches Technique and training under three different masters, that’s clever. I don’t blame you. You’re still my good disciple.”

Goten looked up, bewildered. Four Witches Technique? He looked at Y Goten next to Piccolo, confused.

Y Goten looked at the sky, embarrassed, and whispered, “After training together for half a year, how could Piccolo-san not notice? It’s not my fault.”

Piccolo was in a very good mood due to his increased power, so he didn’t blame him.

“Don’t blame him either. But your method of training simultaneously using the Four Witches Technique is truly genius. I’ve also trained by sparring with clones. You’re truly my disciple.”

“So the third clone is you, then.”

Piccolo was indeed the brains of Dragon Ball; he immediately analyzed Z Goten’s identity.

Z Goten stopped pretending and bowed to Piccolo.

“So, which of you three is my disciple?”

The masked Z Goten replied, “I am your master.”

Piccolo patted Z Goten’s shoulder with satisfaction, because he understood the ability of the Four Witches Technique. Although they were clones, each clone had independent thoughts, so Piccolo didn’t treat Z Goten as a mere clone.

Plus, he had done something similar himself, so there was nothing surprising about it.

X Goten said, “Please, Piccolo-san, don’t tell Vegeta-san. With his personality, he’ll definitely get angry.”

Piccolo naturally knew Vegeta’s personality and implicitly agreed.

“So, which of you three is the strongest Goten?”

Piccolo pressed.

Y Goten and X Goten reluctantly pointed at Z Goten.

Piccolo was overjoyed. “Hahahahaha, good! As expected, my guidance makes you the strongest! First Gohan, then you. You really do me proud! In the future, I’ll even teach your and Gohan’s children, hahahaha.”

Goten rolled his eyes at Piccolo. “Master, I’m still a child.”

“What is it that I’m not supposed to know?”

Vegeta came out of the room. He happened to hear Goten’s last sentence, and Piccolo smirked.

“Nothing much, just that my power is stronger than yours now.”

Then he hooked an arm around the masked Z Goten. “And my disciple is also a tiny bit stronger than your disciple.”

After saying that, he pinched his index finger and thumb together, leaving a tiny, almost imperceptible gap between them, a gap that could possibly contain a universe.
