Even after more than a thousand years, King Kai still remembered it vividly, and mentioning Bojack's name still filled him with lingering fear.
It was clear just how traumatizing Bojack had been for King Kai back in the day.
Gohan asked, "King Kai, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
King Kai replied, "N-no, that's all."
Gohan then asked, "King Kai, who exactly killed the South Kai?"
King Kai said, "I don't know. We haven't found out yet."
How awful. They still didn't know who was behind the attack?
What in the world were the Kais even doing?
Gohan said, "Alright. Are my father and the others there now? I'd like to talk to them."
"They aren't here either," King Kai shook his head.
"Not here? Where did they go this time?"
Gohan was very curious. The last time he contacted King Kai, Goku and the others had gone to Grand Kai's Planet to participate in the martial arts tournament.
So where had they gone this time?
Why were they never on King Kai's Planet?
They always seemed so busy.
King Kai said, "There was a riot in the Other World, so Goku and the others went to provide support."
Gohan froze.
A riot in the Other World? What the heck was that?
He asked, "What's going on? A riot in the Other World?"
King Kai replied, "Well, the 18 levels of Hell were originally split between Frieza and Vegeta. For years, they coexisted peacefully, and things were relatively calm; there hadn't been any large-scale wars for a long time."
"But ever since Androids 17 and 18 were sent down to the 18 levels of Hell, the delicate balance was broken. None of the three factions would submit to the others, and they started fighting fiercely."
"Now the entire Other World is in chaos. Half a month ago, King Yemma requested aid, and Goku and the others went over there then and haven't returned since."
Gohan felt a headache coming on as he listened.
These people were full of energy, fighting constantly when they were alive, and still fighting constantly even as spirits.
Their battles were endless; he couldn't help but admire their drive.
It was only now that Gohan realized Vegeta had been sent to the 18 levels of Hell after he died, instead of living alongside Goku and the others.
But thinking about it, that made sense.
In this timeline, Vegeta was a mass murderer and hadn't made any substantial contributions to Earth. King Yemma sending him to Hell was standard procedure.
Go ahead and fight to your hearts' content.
Gohan cut off the connection with King Kai and flew to the Lookout.
At the Lookout,
Dende was casting spell after spell on Trunks, causing Trunks' face to glow bright red.
Gohan was stunned.
Dende's so-called solution was just bombarding Trunks with magic like this?
He wasn't sure if Dende was casting recovery spells or healing spells.
Good heavens!
Trunks was so thoroughly 'magicked' that he looked completely rejuvenated, as if he had just received the ultimate health treatment.
Seeing Gohan arrive, Dende stopped the magic output.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and greeted him with a smile, "Gohan."
Trunks also looked refreshed and energetic, saying, "Gohan, why are you here? I feel completely full of energy now."
Gohan laughed heartily, "Haha, did he overdo the healing? How is it? Any movement from the tail?"
Trunks replied, "My butt feels a little itchy."
"That means it's having some effect, then," Gohan chuckled.
At this moment, Mr. Popo, who had been standing on the edge of the Lookout plaza, walked over.
Mr. Popo immediately asked, "Mr. Gohan, what exactly happened on Earth?"
Popo had seen the aliens causing trouble in East City from the Lookout, but he didn't know the specifics of what had occurred.
Gohan frowned and seriously recounted the events concerning Bojack.
After listening, the expressions of Popo, Dende, and Trunks all grew solemn.
Dende asked, "Gohan, what are you planning to do?"
Gohan sneered, "I'll meet force with force and ensure they never return. I plan to give them a welcoming gift the moment they get close to Earth."
Trunks said excitedly, "Gohan, you have a good idea, don't you?"
Gohan chuckled, "When their ship approaches Earth, I plan to strike first. I'll 'reward' them with a few blasts of Ki, hopefully destroying both the ship and the people inside. Why should we wait for them to land successfully before officially starting the fight? Heh heh."
"Gohan, you're truly cunning," Trunks laughed.
"No, that's called strategy," Gohan corrected with a smile.
"Hahaha."
"If we destroy their ship, even if they survive, they won't be in good shape. Then the two of us will rush them and catch them completely off guard."
Trunks agreed, "Right, we need to let them know that Earth isn't easy to mess with."
Mr. Popo and Dende felt that Gohan lacked any martial arts spirit, but they strongly approved of his approach.
When people are invading your planet, who cares about martial arts spirit? ... The next day,
A massive spaceship slowly approached Earth.
Onboard the ship, four men and one woman were gathered around a huge screen, discussing animatedly.
All five looked excited as they talked about the Dragon Balls.
They were the Galaxy Soldier Bojack and his four capable henchmen.
Bojack, Zangya, Kogu, Bujin, and Bido.
All five came from a living planet named Hera.
Orange hair and aqua-blue skin were their distinguishing features.
Among the five, Bojack and Bido were the tallest.
Standing over two and a half meters tall, their bodies were heavily muscled, and their weight definitely exceeded 150 kilograms.
Kogu was slightly smaller than those two, but he still stood two meters tall. He wore a purple bandana on his head and carried a greatsword on his back, marking him as a master swordsman, and he was also the most handsome of the four men.
Bojack's most trusted confidante was the only woman in the group, Zangya.
Zangya was slender and graceful, with a startling bustline and cleavage that seemed endless. Her orange, wavy hair was stunningly beautiful, and her captivating eyes stole souls. Her height of 170 cm was just right, and her aqua-blue skin gave her an exotic beauty.

Although she was quite tall herself, standing next to the three massive men made her look delicate and almost childlike.
The smallest member of the group was Bujin.
Although Bujin was male, he was short, barely over 1.5 meters tall. He had a weak physique but possessed astonishing magical abilities.
Every one of these five was a powerful figure who dominated the cosmos; even Frieza in his prime would not have been able to withstand a single attack from any of them.
How could experts who had swept across the four galaxies a millennium ago be mere pretenders?
Kogu looked at Bojack, who was seated in the main chair, and asked, "My Lord, if we gather all seven Dragon Balls, have you decided what wish you will make?"
Bojack laughed heartily, looking at his four subordinates. "Hahaha, of course I have."
Bujin asked, "What wish do you intend to make, My Lord?"
Bojack picked up the glass of red wine from the table, tipped his head back, and drained it, then said:
"Although the five of us possess long lifespans, we were sealed away by those four old fools for over a thousand years. Since being unsealed, I feel that my physical strength is not what it used to be."
"This simply won't do. Our dream has yet to be realized, and destroying the four galaxies is a long and arduous task that will take considerable time. Therefore, I will wish upon the Eternal Dragon to grant the five of us eternal life."
"Once we have eternal life, these four galaxies—no, the entire universe—will eventually be destroyed by our hands, hahaha!"
"Brilliant, My Lord! You are unmatched!" Bujin immediately flattered him.
Bojack gave him a sidelong glance, then looked at Zangya and commanded, "Zangya, contact the advance team on Earth and ask them about the progress of the Dragon Ball collection."
Zangya's pleasant voice replied, "Yes, My Lord."
Zangya then began sending a contact signal to the advance team on Earth.
But the result was predictable: there was no response.
A minute or two later,
Bojack's expression darkened.
The others exchanged nervous glances.
Two seconds later, Bojack said in a deep voice, "There are only two possibilities now. First, those useless fools have turned traitor and wished for themselves after gathering the Dragon Balls. Second, they encountered a powerful enemy on Earth and were completely wiped out."
"Either way, I am extremely displeased."
Zangya tossed her long orange waves and asked, "My Lord, what should we do now?"
Bojack said coldly, "Increase speed. Head to Earth at full throttle."
"Yes, My Lord," Zangya responded, then got up and headed to the ship's control room.
After a flurry of activity, the ship's speed reached an incredible level.
It hurtled toward Earth like a mad thing.
Bojack sneered, "Hmph. I want to see who dares to ruin my plans. They clearly have a death wish."
Bido, who had been silent the whole time, rubbed his hands together and said viciously:
"The Lord is right. No matter who it is, we'll make them pay. We'll torture them mercilessly and kill them."
"Heh heh~"
He finished with a bloodthirsty grin.
After increasing the ship's speed, Zangya returned to her original spot.
Bojack then asked, "By the way, Zangya, what about the investigation I asked you to conduct? Who exactly released our seal?"
"Reporting, My Lord. We only know that the South Kai of the South Galaxy died, but who killed him has not yet been determined," Zangya replied.
Bojack said, "Good. Keep investigating. This is our great benefactor, after all. I intend to recruit him as one of my subordinates."
