Episode 296: The Pregnant Videl! Son Goku Ascends to Grandfatherhood!
『 "Goku, do you feel anything different about your body?"
"Different…" Goku thought for a moment, then said with some embarrassment, "It seems there's nothing different at all!"
This…
Everyone was secretly wondering if this attempt would fail. After all, Goku and Vegeta both had several children already; to call them pure-hearted was indeed a bit of a stretch.
And if they were talking about a pure heart, Vegeta used to be a villain who did a lot of bad things, so the word "pure" didn't really apply to him either. Therefore, their chances of success this time were extremely slim!
While Goku and the others were trying hard to summon the Super Saiyan God, Beerus, on the other side, yawned in boredom.
He glanced at Whis in the distance and whooshed over to her side.
"What are you eating?"
"Oh, Lord Beerus, would you like to try this shrimp tempura? It's absolutely delicious, guaranteed to leave a lasting impression!"
Whis held the tempura up to Beerus's mouth.
"Tempura?"
"What is this? The taste is just average!"
Although he wanted to act cool, the moment he took a bite, his tongue was completely conquered by the tempura.
"This is so delicious!"
"It's truly magnificent!"
He looked at Whis in surprise, then picked up a piece of tempura to examine it closely.
Since the ingredients at the birthday party were all top-tier and the chefs were world-class, even the simplest cooking methods could showcase the highest level of culinary art. That was why Beerus's taste buds were captivated so quickly.
He was entirely focused on feasting, seemingly forgetting what was happening behind him.
Bulma watched Beerus's back from afar, planning in her mind that if the attempt failed, she would use delicious food to distract him.
As a clever woman, Bulma could see that although Beerus and Whis appeared to have a master-servant relationship on the surface, they were actually more like friends.
If she could utilize this point, she might be able to achieve her goal! 』

Shikamaru and the others gathered at Choji's house to watch the screen together.
When Ino saw Beerus's eating manner, her expression was filled with disdain.
"The way Beerus eats is so rude, he's just like a certain someone I know!"
Shikamaru agreed, saying,
"Indeed, that state of disregarding everything else as soon as there's food is very similar."
Choji stopped his hand, which was grabbing ramen into his bowl, wiped off the grease, and asked in confusion,
"What are you guys discussing?"
After exchanging a glance, Ino and Shikamaru said with a smile,
"Ah, it's nothing!"
—
『 The five people behind seemed to have gradually found the knack.
Their ki gradually grew stronger.
Bulma said happily, "It seems like it's really working!"
Master Roshi also nodded in agreement, "Goku's ki is constantly rising. I've never seen him this strong before!"
Piccolo couldn't help but marvel, "More importantly, he hasn't reached his limit yet. His power is still rising. Perhaps he really has a chance to fight Beerus!"
Everyone was originally standing directly beneath them, but as the ki grew stronger and more unstable, they hurriedly retreated more than 100 meters away.
The place where they had been standing was already destroyed beyond recognition. Rubble flew in all directions, and the water in the swimming pool was pushed out like sea waves by this force.
"Ah!"
Beerus had just taken a bite of tempura when the pool water splashed over, soaking the tempura and wrecking the entire food stall. Several chefs fled in a panic, leaving only Beerus and Whis on the spot!
Seeing Beerus's annoyed expression, everyone present felt that things were going south.
They noticed that the powerful ki in the air had already changed. Previously, it was just the golden aura of a Super Saiyan transformation, but now, as the power of the five gathered, a portion of the aura turned blue!
"Oh!"
"It succeeded. Goku has become a real god!"
Master Roshi watched the five slowly land on the ground and exclaimed.
Everyone was thrilled and stepped forward to celebrate.
The corner of Piccolo's mouth twitched slightly, but a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.
At this moment, the ki of the other four had vanished, leaving only Goku standing there.
Although he maintained his normal Super Saiyan state, the energy he released was extraordinarily shocking, with brilliant flashes of light appearing from time to time!
"Dad, this battle power is simply incredible!" Gohan marveled!
"Goku turned into a god! That's so cool!" Krillin said excitedly.
At this moment, Bulma raised her hand high and shouted, "Goku, show him what you've got!"
Just as everyone wanted to celebrate Goku obtaining such powerful strength, Piccolo, who had a strange expression earlier, stepped forward and shouted, "Wait, Goku!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Piccolo.
The people present felt Piccolo's behavior was very strange. Since Goku was already so strong, he should strike while the iron is hot.
The Super Saiyan God form had a time limit. The previous Super Saiyan God failed precisely because there wasn't enough time.
If they didn't seize the moment now, they would surely suffer!
Some people felt dissatisfied, thinking Piccolo was ruining the grand plan.
However, only true experts understood why Piccolo did this.
Goku pulled back his ki and looked at Piccolo in confusion.
Not just Piccolo, but Beerus, who had been eager to fight the Super Saiyan God, didn't come over either. Instead, he and Whis silently walked over to another stall. They ordered some grilled vegetables and discussed in low voices which food tasted better, completely different from Beerus's initial eagerness to fight. He paid no attention to Goku's current transformation.
"Fighting now is useless!"
"You are not a real god right now!"
Goku rubbed his head and said in confusion, "But I clearly felt my strength increase just now. I felt like I could fight Lord Beerus!"
"Is there some problem?" Goku wasn't being sarcastic to Piccolo!
On the contrary, he respected Piccolo very much.
Even though the gap in their strength grew wider and wider, in Goku's heart, Piccolo would always be a great teacher and friend on his path of cultivation!
And, of course, his child's master and babysitter.
Piccolo only wanted the best for Goku, which was why he interrupted him at this critical moment.
"The reason your battle power increased is that you gathered everyone's energy; it didn't stimulate your own potential. Although you look stronger, that's only on the surface. In terms of realm, you are still in your original state."
"Because of this, you cannot be considered a true Super Saiyan God!" Piccolo's words left everyone confused.
Their realms were lower, so they naturally couldn't perceive this.
At this moment, Beerus also walked over, casting an appreciative glance at Piccolo.
For someone of Piccolo's strength to be able to perceive this was indeed remarkable.
"That's right."
"He has a point!"
"A true powerhouse won't expose themselves just by battle power!"
Master Roshi suddenly understood something, stroked his beard, and said, "So that's how it is!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Goku also showed an embarrassed smile.
"As expected."
"Although I could feel that unprecedentedly powerful ki just now, I still had a feeling telling me that I still can't beat Lord Beerus!" Hearing Goku's words, everyone's expressions turned gloomy.
What should they do?
Even the only method was useless!
It seemed Earth could only resign itself to fate and let the God of Destruction handle it.
With the God of Destruction's power, even if everyone went against him together, they might not win!
At this moment, Whis suddenly appeared, holding food in one hand and his staff in the other. He said slowly, "Has anyone thought of the most direct question?"
"Just now, Shenron said that the power of five people needs to be gathered into one person. Five plus one means a total of six Super Saiyans are needed!"
Goku said with some embarrassment, "Lord Whis…"
"It's not that we don't want to find a sixth person!"
"But the only Saiyans left in the entire universe are probably just us!"
Beerus shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.
"Forget it. I was hoping for some fun, but this is a real letdown."
"I ate a bit too much just now, and my eyes are getting heavy. I'd better destroy Earth quickly and go back to sleep!"
Everyone's heart sank.
But they were helpless.
Just then, a black-haired girl stepped forward and shouted, "Wait, there's one more who can count as a candidate!"
Gohan looked at Videl and said in surprise, "Videl, the person you're talking about is?"
"Someone who can barely be considered qualified. How should I put it… Maybe they are about to become a person, but they indeed possess Super Saiyan blood, even though it's not pure!"
Not far away, Hercule Satan saw his daughter stepping forward. Fearing that Beerus might harm her, he hurriedly stopped her loudly, "Videl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Even though your dad is very powerful, I'm a pure Earthling. We can't fool Lord Beerus!"
Videl was speechless for a moment.
The others also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Hercule Satan, after all this time, do you still not know your own weight?
Seeing her father make a fool of himself, Videl's face turned red as she explained loudly, "I'm not talking about you, Dad!"
Hercule Satan looked puzzled and muttered, "Then who else could it be?"
He looked back at Buu, who was smiling innocently. This Buu didn't look like the same species as Goku and the others at all. 』

『 A green-skinned child walked up to Videl and said loudly, "Actually, Videl is about to become a mother!"
"Oh!"
"So she's going to have a baby!"
"That's wonderful!"
"I didn't expect the usually quiet Videl to become a mother too!"
"The next generation of their family is having a child, while Piccolo doesn't even have a girlfriend until now…"
BANG—!
Oolong already had a bump on his head, and now he was punched by Piccolo again. With bumps on both sides, he tottered and collapsed to the ground!
Hearing Dende's words, everyone at first just casually chimed in to offer congratulations.
They didn't react immediately, but then everyone froze.
Some looked at Videl, while others looked at Gohan!
"Good boy!"
"We thought you were very well-behaved, but you got Videl pregnant at such a young age!"
"We can't treat Gohan as a kid anymore; he's going to be a father soon!"
Gohan was naturally extremely surprised.
His face was filled with excitement as he ran to Videl and asked, "Is it true? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Videl nodded, her face turning red as she said, "It's true. I was planning to give you a surprise!"
Hercule Satan looked at his daughter in surprise. Although he had long accepted Gohan as his son-in-law, the thought of his daughter becoming a mother and soon having her own family made his eyes well up with tears!
Buu asked, "Why are you crying? Are you that sad?"
Hercule Satan muttered, "No, these are tears of joy!"
Goku was also very surprised. He scratched his head and said to Vegeta, "I'm going to be a grandpa!"
"I'm going to be a grandpa!" 』

〜Dragon Ball World〜
Bulma's house—
Goku had a happy face!
"Vegeta, did you hear that! I'm about to have a grandchild!"
Vegeta snorted. His eyes held a hint of blessing, but his mouth remained stubborn!
"So what? Trunks also has a girlfriend. In a few years, he'll have a child too. He's just a bit later than you!"
Goku was happy in his own world, completely ignoring what Vegeta said!
On the other side—
At this moment, Gohan happened to be with Videl. Both of them looked up at the sky and were shocked.
Gohan froze for a moment. He walked carefully to Videl's side and whispered,
"Hehe, I didn't expect us to have a child so soon. Are you currently…"
Videl shook her head and said,
"No, I'm not pregnant yet!"
Both of their faces turned red, and their hands naturally held each other.
—
『 "Hey! Is it going to work or not?"
Beerus glanced at the celebrating crowd. Looking at their appearance, if he didn't remind them, they would probably forget about him entirely!
Beerus didn't know.
Right now, he still treats these people with a cold attitude.
But before long, he would become the babysitter for Videl's child!
Driven to a love-hate relationship by Pan!
This treatment was even better than what her grandfather got!
Hearing Beerus's words, everyone remembered the crisis Earth was about to face.
Gohan shouted, "Come on, let's try again with Videl. That makes six people!"
Gohan held Videl's hand and came to an open space.
The crowd surrounded Goku and transformed into Super Saiyans at the same time!
Videl asked with some doubt, "Is this okay? The baby isn't born yet!"
"Anyway, let's try first!"
The one who cared most about Videl was actually Goku.
Putting away his usual playfulness, he asked steadily, "Videl, if there's any problem, let me know. At worst, I'll beg Lord Beerus to spare us. There's no need to force the summoning of the Super Saiyan God!"
Everyone present felt a bit more at ease.
Goku seemed careless, but he turned out to be the most considerate person!
Videl nodded, her eyes filled with determination as she said firmly, "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine!"
After the group formed a circle, the yellow aura on everyone was first emitted individually. Since Videl was not a Super Saiyan, she had no ki on her.
However, because everyone was taking care of her, this ki not only didn't harm her but instead gave her immense power.
Then, the yellow auras scattered on each person gradually merged together!
From this moment on, things seemed to become different!
But this state lasted for a few seconds without any new changes.
There wasn't even the feeling of the previous attempt, where all the power was transferred to Goku.
Master Roshi watched this scene and said, "This…"
His eyes were filled with worry!
Bulma sighed and said helplessly, "Is it still not working?" 』
