“Magic?!” Gohan’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Was it that bastard’s doing?” Meanwhile… Piccolo, who was chasing after Spopovich, suddenly sneezed.
Kibito looked at the gesturing Videl.
A flash of light appeared in his eyes as he dispelled the Silence spell that Piccolo had placed on her.
Videl discovered she could speak again and immediately jumped up in delight.
“Now is not the time to celebrate.
We need to catch up with Lord Supreme Kai,” Kibito said as his body slowly rose into the air.
“Are you coming with me?” Gohan nodded.
“Yeah, of course!” “Videl, stay here.
I’ll be back soon,” Gohan said.
Videl glared at him in dissatisfaction.
“Don’t even think about leaving me behind.
I’m coming too!” Gohan hesitated.
Looking up at Kibito, he found the Supreme Kai’s attendant expressionless, offering neither approval nor objection.
“Alright, but you have to stay close to me and don’t act on your own,” Gohan warned.
“Okay.
I’ll listen to you,” Videl agreed.
“Hurry, or we won’t be able to catch up with Lord Supreme Kai,” Kibito urged.
“Right.
Sorry to keep you waiting.” Gohan took Videl’s hand, and the two of them flew into the sky.
… Meanwhile, Son Goku and the others were flying at high speed and soon caught up with Piccolo, who had gone on ahead.
“Lord Supreme Kai,” Piccolo greeted respectfully.
Shin smiled and nodded.
The group slowed their pace slightly, keeping Spopovich and Yamu within sight as they followed from behind.
Along the way, Goku turned curiously toward Shin.
“Lord Supreme Kai, could you tell us more about those two people ahead of us?” Everyone else also turned their attention to Shin.
Shin calmly explained, “Simply put, the one controlling those two intends to resurrect a terrifying monster.” “That monster has neither reason nor emotion.
It exists only to destroy everything and slaughter all living beings.” “Long ago, before it was sealed away, it devastated countless planets and exterminated innumerable lives.” Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Goku, however, looked excited instead.
“Lord Supreme Kai, is that monster really that strong?” Shin nodded.
“Compared to you mortals, yes.
Among all the mortals currently alive, there is no one capable of defeating it.” Vegeta scoffed, clearly unconvinced.
Hearing Shin’s assessment only made Goku more eager.
“Then… what’s its name?” “Majin Buu,” Shin answered calmly.
“Majin Buu?
That name sounds kind of funny,” Goku laughed.
Everyone fell silent.
Was this really the time to joke?
“So… Lord Supreme Kai, are we trying to stop Majin Buu from being revived?” Goku asked.
“That would be my recommendation,” Shin replied.
“Because among the mortals currently alive, no one can defeat Majin Buu.” Piccolo noticed something.
The Supreme Kai had repeatedly emphasized the phrase ‘mortals currently alive.’ He frowned and asked, “Lord Supreme Kai… you keep saying ‘mortals currently alive.’ Does that mean… you’re not including Goku?” Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
Everyone focused on Shin.
Shin smiled faintly.
“As expected of Earth’s former Kami.
You’re quite perceptive.” “That’s right.
When I say ‘mortals currently alive,’ I do not include Mr.
Son Goku.” A trace of hope appeared on Piccolo’s face.
“Then… are you saying Goku can defeat Majin Buu?” Vegeta’s expression darkened.
Shin nodded.
“If we’re speaking purely in terms of power, Mr.
Son Goku is indeed stronger than Majin Buu.” Vegeta finally exploded.
“Are you saying Kakarot is far stronger than me?!” Ignoring Vegeta’s anger, Shin answered calmly, “At least in terms of raw power, Mr.
Vegeta, you are currently far inferior to Mr.
Goku.” “What did you say?!” Vegeta’s Aura erupted, veins bulging across his forehead as fury filled his face.
“Vegeta, calm down!” Goku hurriedly said, breaking into a cold sweat as he tried to stop him.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
The Supreme Kai had seen through his true strength with a single glance.
Shin turned toward Goku.
“Mr.
Goku, although your power surpasses Majin Buu’s, strength alone is not the greatest threat he poses.” “The most troublesome aspect of Majin Buu is his near-immortal regeneration.” “No matter how badly he’s injured—even if his body is blown into countless pieces—it makes almost no difference.” “To Majin Buu, wounds that would kill an ordinary person are little more than scratches.” “What?!” Everyone was stunned once again.
A monster like that actually existed?
A spark of excitement flashed in Goku’s eyes.
Rather than fear, he felt even more eager to challenge Majin Buu.
Looking directly at Goku, Shin reminded him, “Mr.
Goku, if you fight with your full power, you may be able to defeat Majin Buu.” “But don’t forget—you are already dead.” “You should not interfere excessively in the affairs of the living.” “If there had been anyone among the living capable of stopping Majin Buu, I would never have intervened.” “But without someone to stop him… the entire Universe could be destroyed.” Hearing this, Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
“Then are you saying… you have the power to stop Majin Buu?” Shin smiled faintly.
“It may sound arrogant, but in my eyes…” “Majin Buu is no different from how ordinary people appear to you.” His words left everyone speechless.
Even Goku was visibly surprised.
Only Piccolo remained relatively calm.
After all, in his understanding, the Supreme Kai was the highest deity in the Universe.
Possessing such overwhelming power seemed only natural.
… Elsewhere… Kibito had also explained the truth about Majin Buu to Gohan, while Videl listened nearby.
Videl looked stunned.
“There’s really a monster like that in this world?
You’re kidding, right?” Gohan’s expression turned serious.
“If everything you’ve told us is true, then we absolutely can’t allow Majin Buu to be revived!” Kibito nodded.
“Exactly.
That is why Lord Supreme Kai and I descended to the Mortal Realm.” He narrowed his eyes.
“At our current speed, we won’t catch up to Lord Supreme Kai.
We need to move faster.” Gohan nodded.
“Alright!” As Kibito and Gohan accelerated, Videl—who had already been struggling to keep up—was immediately left far behind.
Seeing this, Gohan stopped and said apologetically, “Sorry!
Please wait a moment!” (End of Chapter)
