"Buzz~"
At that moment, a look of astonishment appeared on Gogeta's face.
"Oops, oops, I played around for too long. Time's up..."
Then... he split in two and disintegrated.
Gogeta transformed back into Goku and Vegeta.
Both of them looked at each other in surprise, wearing strange expressions.
Then they turned to Gohan.
Gohan smiled and asked, "Dad, Uncle Vegeta, how do you feel after the fusion?"
Goku raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and laughed, "Haha, how should I put this? I don't really know."
Vegeta shot him a glance, "Hmph, idiot Kakarot."
He then explained, "After the fusion, the warrior that appears isn't one of us. He's a completely new warrior with a brand-new personality, so we don't know how it feels."
Gohan, intrigued, asked, "Oh? Is that so? Don't you have any memories after the fusion?"
"This... well, a little bit, but not completely," Vegeta replied after thinking for a moment.
"Hoo hoho, regardless, it was quite an eye-opener," Whis interjected. "Mr. Vegeta and Mr. Goku fused into an incredibly powerful warrior."
"Humph, it's impressive," Beerus added, crossing his arms and tilting his chin.
Gohan turned to Whis and asked, "Master Whis, what is the origin of this guy? He couldn't have appeared out of nowhere, right?"
Although Gohan had seen glimpses of the situation through his precognitive abilities, the details were unclear, so he had to ask Whis for clarification.
"Well..." Whis was about to use his scepter to reveal Gas's story.
But Merus stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gohan, I know about him. His name was Gas, and he came from the Heeter Family. Their family is primarily engaged in intelligence gathering. They even colluded with Frieza back in the day... The Heeter Family provided a lot of planetary information to Frieza."
Merus spoke confidently, sharing everything he knew.
Having worked in the Galactic Patrol Organization for decades, Merus was deeply knowledgeable about key figures like the Heeter Group.
"This Gas and his brother, Elec, destroyed our Galactic Patrol Headquarters, allowing all the prisoners in the Galactic Prison to escape. What's puzzling is that Gas wasn't this powerful before. Recently, his strength increased to a level I couldn't stop..."
"Haha, that's because he borrowed power from the Planet Cereal Dragon Balls," Whis explained, picking up where Merus left off.
"Elec overdrew nearly all of Gas's life force, boosting his combat power to the top of the universe, surpassing Mr. Goku and the others. That's why he became so powerful."
"As you saw, Gas eventually turned into a mummy, a sign of his life force being drained. If it hadn't been for the battle with Gogeta, he could have lived for a few more years."
"But Gogeta was far too strong. Gas exhausted the last of his life force. Even if Gogeta hadn't killed him, Gas would have died from the depletion of his own energy."
Vados chuckled, covering her mouth. "Hehe, mortals are so greedy. They take shortcuts but can't handle the consequences!"
"Don't you agree, Mr. Merus?" She looked at Merus meaningfully.
"Ah? Yes, yes," Merus nodded quickly, feeling a little embarrassed and awkward.
It seemed Brother Whis and Sister Vados had recognized him.
Among their angelic siblings, Whis and Vados were known for their high abilities.
So, Merus quietly walked over to them, lowering his head.
Whis and Vados smiled knowingly.
Gohan had figured it out too but pretended not to notice, continuing with the conversation. "So, this Heeter Family is a dangerous organization, and they should be eliminated. I happen to have some free time, and I enjoy this sort of thing. Haha."
Merus was surprised and said, "Ah, Mr. Gohan is willing to take action? That would be fantastic."
"The Heeter Family should have been dealt with long ago, but our Galactic Patrol focuses on gathering evidence. We never took action, which led to the current situation—even the destruction of our headquarters."
Gohan said, "Now that your patrol headquarters has been destroyed, this should be enough evidence, right?"
"Uh, yes, that's more than enough, but there's another major issue. All the galactic prisoners have escaped and are working with the Heeter Family. I need to rebuild the Galactic Patrol and recapture all the escaped prisoners."
"..."
Gohan glanced at him, looking confused.
"No, Merus, I have a question. Can't we just kill them all?"
"Ah? Kill... kill them all?" Merus was momentarily stunned.
Gohan continued, "Yes. Why bother capturing them? Isn't that just asking for more trouble? Most of the prisoners in the Galactic Prison were on death row anyway. Now that they've escaped and joined the Heeters, their crimes are even worse."
"No matter who they are, we can kill them directly. Capturing them is unnecessary."
"Uh..." Merus stood frozen on the spot, realizing that Gohan's argument made sense.
"Haha, Mr. Gohan has a point. However, our patrol is severely understaffed now. Almost all of our personnel were killed by Gas, so it's a bit difficult... Only the Galactic King survived."
"Hey, we'd be happy to help!" Goku raised his hand, excited at the prospect.
Capturing... or chasing bad guys—it was something that still interested him.
Hearing this, Vegeta added, "Count me in."
Merus hadn't expected this turn of events but was thrilled. He quickly agreed, "That's wonderful! I can make the three of you temporary Galactic Patrol officers and report it to the Galactic King."
Gohan nodded, "Well, the top priority is to gather the Dragon Balls and restore the Earth. A lot of people died."
He squatted next to a massive crater.
Goodness, the hole went right through the Earth, emerging on the other side.
Simply outrageous.
And there was another crater just like it nearby.
More than half of the Earth had been destroyed.
Mr. Shenron will be going to be busy again.
