Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 40 Destroy Slug!

As mentioned last time, Goten, who was unable to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan, fell into a state of self-doubt. Coincidentally, the Ring opened a new dimensional portal, and Goten went there and discovered the legendary Super Saiyan Yamoshi. Yamoshi's berserk Super Saiyan state brought Goten to the brink of death, but Goten, in his near-death experience, suddenly transformed into a Super Saiyan mimic...

While Goten, who had lost his mind due to his mimicry abilities, killed Yamoshi, he was also troubled by the uncontrollable power. Recalling Xiaoyue's words from his past life, Goten realized that even in battle, he could not lose his gentleness. He finally let go of his obsession with the Super Saiyan transformation...

It's a new day, and Goten and his brother Gohan are going camping, a rare treat for them. Goten is also taking a break and enjoying life. While Gohan goes to gather firewood, Goten mutters to himself, "Looks like enjoying life occasionally isn't such a bad choice..."

Unbeknownst to him, Wutian had fallen asleep, but then he had a bizarre dream—"In Wutian's dream, planets were destroyed one by one, living beings were constantly disappearing, and the vitality of life was gradually fading away, until only endless darkness remained, and a man who looked like an angel was looking at the empty universe and laughing maniacally..."

Before Goten could see clearly, Gohan's voice woke him from his dream. Goten opened his eyes, stretched, yawned, and saw that his brother had already retrieved the firewood. He then said softly, "Brother, you're back. Sorry, I suddenly fell asleep..."

Gohan said gently, "It's okay, Goten, you can sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up when the food is ready."

Upon hearing this, Goten dozed off for a while longer. Then, after Gohan finished preparing the meal, he got up to eat with them. After they finished eating, Gohan inquired about Goten's training progress with concern: "Goten... how strong are you now? I heard you've already mastered the 20x Kaioken! Maybe you'll soon be able to successfully transform into a Super Saiyan! That's amazing! Dad will be so happy to see you like that..."

Wutian calmly replied, "That's true... but we might see each other again in the future, after all, I'm only three years old..."

Upon hearing Goten's words, Gohan suddenly remembered something and shouted. Goten hurriedly asked Gohan what was wrong, but Gohan waved his hand, indicating that nothing was wrong, leaving Goten looking completely puzzled...

Back home, that evening, Gohan and Chi-Chi secretly discussed something, while Goten, completely unaware, slept soundly, dreaming a beautiful dream entirely different from the one he had during the day…

The next day, Goten went out to train again, and Chi-Chi said meaningfully, "Goten... come back early today!"

Goten nodded to indicate that he understood, and then went out to train. After Goten left, Gohan also flew towards the city...

Goten arrived at the open space, opened a portal to a new world, and watched his father struggling in the opposite direction. Goten sighed and entered the dimensional world where Goku was fighting Super Namekian Slug...

Plot recap: "The peaceful Earth is suddenly struck by an unknown planet. Goku and Krillin try to change its orbit by unleashing a Kamehameha, but it not only fails to work, but the two are also pulled into the planet by its powerful gravity and their whereabouts are unknown."

"Just as the planet was about to collide with Earth, it suddenly veered off course and exploded above the Earth. Just when people thought they had escaped a disaster, a spaceship suddenly landed on Earth. A group of combatants stepped out and suddenly announced that Earth belonged to the cosmic overlord Slug, and that the humans of Earth must become his slaves."

"Gohan, seeing this, couldn't stand it and immediately attacked him. However, he was knocked unconscious by Slug who suddenly appeared and learned about the Dragon Balls from Bulma. Slug immediately ordered his men to gather the Dragon Balls so that Shenron could restore him to his youthful peak."

"Then Slug used his spaceship to emit black mist that covered the entire sky above Earth. Gohan, who challenged Slug again, was defeated by Slug's henchmen. Fortunately, Piccolo arrived in time to save Gohan and defeat one of Slug's henchmen."

"Goku arrived just in time to defeat Slug's remaining henchmen when Gohan collapsed after his power was absorbed by Slug's subordinates. He then engaged in a fierce battle with Slug and transformed into a Super Saiyan during the fight, revealing Slug's true form and realizing that he was a Namekian."

"However, upon realizing the opponent's identity, the Super Saiyan Mimicry was dispelled, and Slug seized the opportunity to grow to gigantic size, putting Goku at a disadvantage once again. It wasn't until Piccolo revealed Slug's weakness and transferred his power to Goku that Goku was able to use the 100x Kaioken to pierce through Slug's body. As Slug struggled in his death throes, Goku used the sun's energy to gather a Spirit Bomb, completely destroying Slug..."

"And the unexpected turn of events in this world was... Piccolo failed to provide timely support to Goku, resulting in Goku being grabbed and crushed to death by the gigantic Slug, causing this world to become Slug's exclusive dimension..."

As Goten landed on the ground of this world, a bald man flew right past him. Turning his head, he saw it was Krillin, who had overestimated his abilities and recklessly attacked Slug, only to be easily swatted away by Slug...

Seeing this, Goten didn't waste any words and rushed forward to join the battle between Goku and Slug. When Goku was knocked unconscious by a powerful punch from Slug, Goten immediately took over the fight, kicking Slug away and giving him a taunting thumbs-down.

Slug, mocked by Goten, immediately switched targets and attacked Goten. He threw two heavy punches, which Goten dodged. Goten then seized the opportunity to slip under Slug and land a Shoryuken punch on his chin.

Slug, who was hit, was sent flying high into the air and crashed heavily to the ground. Goten was about to step forward when the ground suddenly shook violently. Then two giant hands reached out to grab Goten. Fortunately, Goten reacted quickly and jumped away, otherwise he would have been doomed if he had been caught.

Once Goten created some distance, the giant hand was indeed revealed to be the gigantic Slug himself. Having just completed his gigantic transformation, Slug burst into triumphant laughter. Goten, not wanting to waste any more time, simply whistled…

As expected, Slug immediately put on the Pain Mask upon hearing Goten's whistle. Upon seeing this, Goten immediately unleashed the 20x Kaioken, instantly bursting through Slug's stomach. Slug, severely injured, still tried to struggle in his death throes, but Goten's 20x Kaioken Kamehameha was already ready to be unleashed, bursting forth as Slug launched his verbal attack.

The moment the two collided, Slug's verbal attack was directly shattered by Goten's Kamehameha, and Slug's body was also scattered along with it...

After completing the mission, Goten immediately returned to his own world, since his mother wanted him to go home as soon as possible. So, Goten rushed home as soon as he returned to his own world.

Upon opening the door, a table laden with delicious food and a cake with a sign that read "Happy 4th Birthday, Goten!" Goten then realized that he was already four years old. Just as he was feeling touched, Gohan, Chi-Chi, his grandfather Ox-King, and Bardock came out with gifts and shouted in unison, "Happy Birthday, Goten!"

Amidst everyone's blessings, Goten celebrated yet another wonderful birthday...
