After eliminating Van Zant, Evil Buu immediately set off toward Good Buu.
As he approached, Evil Buu leaned in close to inspect Good Buu, wearing a look of pure provocation.
Good Buu gritted his teeth and threw a heavy punch.
Evil Buu sidestepped the blow and countered with a punch right to Good Buu's face.
The force of the hit sent Good Buu flying backward.
Thud!
Evil Buu followed up with a flying kick, knocking Good Buu to the ground.
For a while after that, Evil Buu unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.
Good Buu was simply no match for him.
When they had split earlier, Evil Buu had taken most of the energy with him.
"Curse you! I'll turn you into chocolate!" Driven to desperation, Good Buu's antenna flickered with purple-white electricity.
The beam shot toward Evil Buu.
Evil Buu didn't even flinch; he puffed out his cheeks and blew a sharp breath.
Instantly, the purple-white beam was reflected back, striking Good Buu instead.
"Ah..."
Good Buu let out a pained cry. His body twisted and morphed rapidly, turning into a person-shaped bar of chocolate that fell from the sky.
Evil Buu stepped forward, picked up the chocolate, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The moment he consumed Good Buu, Evil Buu's pupils constricted, and a look of exhilaration washed over his face.
Immediately after, an even more intense energy erupted from him, and layers of pink gas swirled around his body.
Once everything settled, Buu's appearance had undergone a massive change.
Mr. Satan trembled in fear.
What on earth just happened?
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" Buu let out a long yawn, then unleashed his powerful energy in its entirety.
The sheer magnitude of the energy left Piccolo, watching from the Lookout, utterly shaken.
"This is bad!" Piccolo broke into a cold sweat and turned to look at Goku.
"Incredible! As expected of Buu!" Goku remarked in awe.
Piccolo: "..."
How can you still be so confident?
Do you really have what it takes to defeat Majin Buu?
He's become so much stronger!
I wonder if Vegeta can even beat him now.
"Hehe! Haha!" Buu let out a series of eerie laughs, looking over his new body with a satisfied expression.
"Waah, waah, waah..." Mr. Satan hid in the distance, shivering.
Smitty, the servant, wasn't dead yet. He watched with wide eyes as his master was crushed by the monster.
After a brief moment of terror, Smitty turned and ran up the hill, grabbed a machine gun, and unleashed a hail of bullets at Buu.
Buu didn't even bother to dodge.
The bullets tore right through his body.
Smitty was stunned.
Why is he still standing there?
What kind of person is this?
Is he impossible to kill?
"Hehehe! Hahaha!" Buu laughed eerily again as his body began to stretch rapidly.
Zip!
Buu thrust his body directly into Smitty's mouth, filling the servant's body to the brim.
Smitty let out agonized screams, his eyeballs bulging as his body swelled up like a balloon.
Boom!
Smitty's body exploded.
Fragments of Buu's body quickly converged in the air, restoring him to his original form. He then cast a glance toward Mr. Satan.
Mr. Satan jumped, quickly pulling his head back to hide.
Buu wore an evil grin and lunged toward Satan.
Satan was truly terrified; he hugged the puppy tight and squeezed his eyes shut.
However, the thing Satan feared didn't happen.
After waiting for a while, Satan realized he hadn't been killed by Buu.
He peeked one eye open and looked around.
Where did he go?
Buu seems to be gone!
"He ran away! He must have been scared off by the great Mr. Satan!" Satan's confidence suddenly returned. He stood with hands on his hips and laughed loudly.
But as he laughed, he looked up and saw Majin Buu hovering in the sky.
Satan's expression instantly froze, his eyes turning into tiny dots.
Buu looked down at Satan in silence.
Both Satan and the puppy were shivering with fear.
"Satan!" Buu grinned and spoke the man's name.
Then, Buu turned around and flew away at high speed.
Satan slumped to the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Buu streaked through the sky, gradually picking up speed.
...
Capsule Corporation Headquarters.
Vegeta was eating when he sensed a powerful energy approaching.
"This guy! Why is he coming here? Shouldn't he be going to the Lookout?" Vegeta said irritably, setting down his chopsticks and rushing out of the room.
"Vegeta, what's happening?" Bulma chased after him.
"Father!" Trunks also flew over immediately.
"Trunks, a terrifying guy is about to arrive. Take care of your mother," Vegeta said to Trunks without looking back.
"A terrifying guy?" Trunks was startled, but then a look of excitement crossed his face. "Great! I'll fight alongside you, Father!"
"You're no match for him!" Vegeta said in a low voice.
Trunks: "????"
"Who? Who's so strong that even I'm not his match?" Trunks scratched his head.
"Vegeta, will it be alright?" Bulma asked, her face full of worry.
"It's fine," Vegeta reassured her.
Whoosh!
Buu appeared over Capsule Corp at incredible speed, coming to a halt right in front of Vegeta.
Seeing Majin Buu appear so suddenly, both Bulma and Trunks were a bit dazed.
Where did this monster come from?
"So you finally showed up, Majin Buu!" Vegeta huffed with a slight smirk. "Did you really think turning into this form would be enough to beat me?"
"Hehe!" Buu grinned. "Let's continue!"
"Of course we're continuing. This time, don't even think about running away." Vegeta's lips curled upward, his eyes burning with an unquenchable thirst for battle.
Buu raised a hand, energy beginning to coalesce.
"Wait a moment. If we're going to have a real fight, we'd better change locations. I can't cut loose here," Vegeta said hurriedly.
Buu: "????"
Buu looked confused.
What do you mean you 'can't cut loose' here?
"Kakarot! I know you're watching! Get us to a deserted place to fight, now!" Vegeta shouted toward the sky.
Flash!
As soon as he spoke, Goku appeared beside Vegeta and Majin Buu using Instant Transmission.
"You?" Buu recognized Goku at a glance.
"Yeah, it's me." Goku nodded, then scratched his head thoughtfully. "Where would be a good place to fight?"
"Is that even a question? The Sacred World of the Kai, obviously!" Vegeta answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Alright, then let's go," Goku agreed.
But before leaving, Goku gave Trunks a deep look.
Trunks: "????"
"Trunks, do you want to challenge Majin Buu?" Goku asked with a smile.
"I do! I'd love to give it a try," Trunks said, eager to go.
Buu: "..."
A little brat wants to challenge me?
Should I turn him into chocolate and eat him?
"But right now, you're completely outclassed," Goku said plainly, speaking the truth.
Trunks's mouth twitched.
Uncle Goku, that's really harsh.
If you know I'm no match for him, why even ask if I want to challenge him?
"As long as you train hard, you and Goten should be able to handle it if you work together," Goku said with a smile.
"Kakarot, are you planning to have those two fuse?" Vegeta scoffed, his temper flaring.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking!" Goku nodded.
"Hmph, are you saying I might lose to this guy?" Vegeta grew even angrier, his face darkening with rage.
"Vegeta, don't you want to know how strong their fusion would be?" Goku asked, his expression growing more expectant.
Vegeta fell silent.
"One is Super Saiyan Blue, and the other is Super Saiyan 4. Fusing two different forms... I think the results will be even better," Goku chuckled.
"Do whatever you want," Vegeta huffed, not objecting further. "But let me make one thing clear: I won't be showing Majin Buu any mercy this time! Once he's defeated, it'll be our turn to settle things!"
"Of course," Goku nodded.
Buu was starting to get bored listening to them.
Can you guys hurry up? I can't wait.
"Trunks, go to the Lookout. Goten is waiting for you there. Piccolo will teach you and Goten a new skill," Goku said with a smile.
"A new skill?" Trunks was confused.
"You'll know when you get there." Goku waved Trunks off, then prepared to teleport Vegeta and Buu.
...
The Sacred World of the Kai.
The three Kais—Old Kai, Supreme Kai, and Kibito—were watching through a crystal ball, their faces looking grim.
Are you guys really treating the Sacred World of the Kai as a battlefield?
Why do you always come here whenever there's a fight?
"Great Ancestor... Majin Buu's energy has become incredibly powerful. This is really bad!" Supreme Kai's expression shifted repeatedly.
"What are you just standing there for? Get out of here!" Old Kai gave Supreme Kai a headbutt, urging him irritably.
"Ah... yes!" Supreme Kai nodded, rubbing his sore head. He immediately grabbed Old Kai and Kibito and used Kai Kai, vanishing in an instant.
The three returned to the planet where they had hidden during the battle with Cell.
"By the way, Broly is still in the Sacred World of the Kai. Should we bring him here?" Supreme Kai suddenly remembered they had forgotten Broly.
"Don't worry about him," Old Kai said, shaking his head.
He paused.
"Now, let's pray... that Majin Buu doesn't end up like Cell," Old Kai sighed deeply.
"Do you mean... Broly's strength is far beyond Majin Buu's?" Supreme Kai's eyes widened in shock.
Old Kai: "..."
Old Kai ground his teeth in frustration, truly not wanting to deal with this useless Supreme Kai anymore.
"Buu's power is much greater than before, especially with this new change... I don't think Vegeta is necessarily a match for him," Supreme Kai added. "Is Broly really even stronger than Vegeta?"
"You idiot! What have you been doing all these years? Don't you know how strong Broly is?" Old Kai trembled with rage and began pummeling Supreme Kai.
Supreme Kai took the beating, feeling utterly miserable.
Great Ancestor, can we please not resort to violence in every conversation?
How was I supposed to know how strong Broly is?
"I can tell you with full confidence: Broly's power might have already surpassed Goku's," Old Kai remarked.
"What? He's already surpassed Goku?" Supreme Kai was stunned.
...
The Sacred World of the Kai.
Just as the Kais left, Goku arrived with Vegeta and Buu.
This time, to avoid further accidents, Goku didn't bring anyone else along.
If he brought more people and Majin Buu started losing, it would be too easy for Buu to absorb them.
Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and the others all stayed on Earth.
As for whether they could see the battle here...
Well, they probably couldn't.
But none of that matters anymore.
Meanwhile, Piccolo has taken Goten and Trunks into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where he is carefully teaching the two youngsters the Fusion technique.
"Gohan, did you just say... there's a strange space in there?" Videl asked, pointing in the direction where Piccolo and the others had left, her voice full of curiosity. "Inside that strange space... a whole year passes, but only one day passes for us out here?"
"Yes, that's right," Gohan nodded.
"Is there really such a magical place?" Videl was filled with excitement. "That's wonderful!"
"What?" Gohan was taken aback.
How was that "wonderful"?
"Think about it... we could go in there and review for a whole year right before exams. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Videl had a sudden spark of inspiration.
Gohan: "..."
Gohan quietly wiped away some sweat.
Videl, what on earth are you thinking?
Going in to study for a year right before exams?
How do you even come up with something like that?
"I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get in, Videl..." Gohan felt a headache coming on. He gave Videl a strained, bitter smile.
"What do you mean? Why can't I go in? Is it only for you Saiyans?" Videl asked, puzzled. "That green-skinned mister isn't a Saiyan either."
"It's not that... the environment inside is extremely harsh. An ordinary person probably couldn't withstand it," Gohan replied.
"How harsh is it?" Videl blinked.
"The temperature fluctuates from 50 degrees below zero to 50 degrees above, and there's only 20% of Earth's oxygen," Gohan said, scratching his head.
"Ah? That environment really is something else." Cold sweat trickled down Videl's pretty face.
"And there's one more crucial point: the gravity in that space is ten times that of Earth!" Gohan took a deep breath. "Videl, you weigh about 85 pounds, right? If you went in there, you'd weigh 850 pounds."
Videl: "..."
Videl's face instantly flushed red.
I'd weigh 850 pounds?
Do I really weigh that much?
"Gohan, do you think I'm too heavy?" Videl asked with a stern look, clearly displeased.
"No... not at all." Gohan shook his head. "Even if you weighed 8,500 pounds, you'd still feel very light to me."
Videl quietly wiped her brow.
Is this how all straight-laced guys chat?
...
The Sacred World of the Kai.
Seeing Goku and Vegeta appear with a strange person, Broly shuddered. He quickly rolled up his picnic mat, packed all the food, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and immediately bolted.
"Broly, where are you going?" Goku called out from behind him.
Broly didn't look back; he only ran faster.
Don't even think about destroying my food.
Seven years ago, you guys destroyed my food. This time, I won't let my food suffer!
Broly soon vanished from sight, carrying his packed food.
Buu: "????"
Buu looked at Broly thoughtfully.
Why does it feel like the stuff he took away is really delicious?
Are you afraid I'll eat your things?
Should I go take a look?
Buu looked at Broly's disappearing figure, then at Vegeta beside him.
A brief hesitation.
A piece of flesh melted off Buu's right leg.
That piece of meat wriggled like a maggot for a moment before quickly transforming into a miniature Buu, no larger than a thumb.
The mini-Buu started running, quickly chasing after Broly.
His food must be delicious.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run so fast!
"Buu, can we start now?" Vegeta's face was filled with an intense desire for battle.
"Hmph." Buu grinned.
Snap!
Vegeta didn't hesitate for a second. Deep blue flames erupted from his body as he activated his Super Saiyan Blue Evolved transformation.
Buu's expression grew a bit more serious as he quickly unleashed his full energy.
Goku, meanwhile, hopped to the side to watch the show.
"Come on, Buu." Vegeta beckoned him over.
Buu didn't waste any words and charged straight at Vegeta.
The two quickly began a new round of combat in the Sacred World of the Kai.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of battle rang out, the impact so powerful it made the entire realm shake.
After a few rounds of exchange, Buu landed a heavy punch right on Vegeta's face.
Vegeta's head snapped to the side, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Buu wore a smug smile.
"Hmph, is that all?" Vegeta gave a contemptuous smirk and wiped the blood from his lip.
Buu's eyes widened.
Thud!
Vegeta struck back swiftly, driving a heavy elbow into Buu's face.
Buu's face was caved in deeply by the impact.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vegeta followed up with a barrage of punches and kicks.
Ten seconds later, Vegeta knocked Buu to the ground.
"Get up, Majin Buu!" Vegeta scoffed. "Is this your true power? You're disappointing me!"
Buu leaped up from the ground and charged at Vegeta again.
Vegeta easily parried all the attacks.
Thwack!
Vegeta delivered another kick, landing it squarely on Buu's cheek.
A deep footprint was left on Buu's face.
"Hmph, pathetic. You're only a tiny bit stronger than before." Vegeta looked disappointed and sent Buu to the ground once more with a flying kick.
Buu lay on the ground, seemingly too lazy to move, his eyelids drooping and fluttering.
Zzz... zzz...
Then, much to Vegeta's speechless annoyance, the guy actually fell asleep.
Goku: "..."
Vegeta wiped his brow.
Falling asleep in the middle of a fight? Are you serious?
"Hey, get up!" Vegeta was genuinely furious.
The main thing was, Vegeta could clearly sense that this guy was truly asleep, not knocked unconscious.
If he had been knocked out, Vegeta would at least feel a sense of accomplishment.
But falling asleep mid-battle...
That was just crossing the line.
Vegeta's temper flared, and Destruction energy began to coalesce in his hand.
"Since you want to sleep so badly, I'll destroy you completely and let you sleep forever." Vegeta had no intention of showing mercy.
I'm still waiting to settle things with Kakarot.
"Kakarot, you won't object, will you? I've given you your chance." Vegeta looked up at Goku. "Since he can't be turned into a good person, we might as well destroy him now! Keeping him around is useless, at least in my world!"
Goku: "..."
Goku felt a massive headache.
But since Vegeta had said it, Goku neither objected nor agreed, which was a silent acknowledgment.
...
About 10,000 kilometers away from the battle zone.
Broly had reset his picnic mat and was laying out the food items one by one.
At this distance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
It was far from their fighting area.
My food will definitely be safe!
Maybe I should go back and join the fun?
Broly took to the air, flying quickly toward the battle zone.
As he left, he looked back at the food on the mat.
The food should be fine here.
There aren't even any small animals in this area; no one will steal it.
Broly was confident.
His aura flared as he sped toward Vegeta and Goku.
However, shortly after Broly flew away, the thumb-sized Buu suddenly appeared on the picnic mat.
Looking at the thirty-odd delicacies on the mat, Buu's mouth immediately watered with joy, and he began to feast.
It was hard to imagine—Buu was only the size of a thumb, and a single peanut could have filled his stomach.
But it was as if there was a special dimension inside Buu's belly.
He poured the dishes into his mouth one by one, yet he remained unsated.
Buu even drooled as he ate.
This is the first time I've ever eaten something this delicious.
No wonder that guy was guarding the food so closely.
It really is that good.
...
Vegeta had already gathered Destruction energy in his hand, aiming it at Majin Buu's body.
Just as he was about to erase him, he noticed Buu was drooling and even smacking his lips in his sleep.
"What? Dreaming of something good to eat?"
Vegeta huffed with a slight smirk.
Without further hesitation, he launched the Destruction energy directly at Buu.
Just as the energy was about to hit.
Buu suddenly snapped his eyes open and took a deep breath.
"Puff..."
Buu puffed out his cheeks and blew a breath at the Destruction energy.
The energy was actually suspended in mid-air by Buu's breath, failing to land.
Taking the chance, Buu vanished in a flash and reappeared behind Vegeta.
Seeing his Destruction energy held in place by a mere breath, Vegeta was stunned, three veins throbbing on his forehead.
This is Destruction energy!
This guy can stop it with a breath?
Curse you, Majin Buu!
While Vegeta was dazed, Buu was already behind him.
"Bang!"
Buu's arm suddenly elongated, delivering a heavy punch to Vegeta's back.
Vegeta took the hit and stumbled forward.
However, his reaction was lightning-fast.
He spun around gracefully, a blast of energy erupting from his hand.
The energy surged toward Buu with incredible speed.
"Squelch..."
The energy blast tore through half of Buu's body.
"Snap!"
But Buu immediately used his regenerative abilities to easily restore himself.
"Whoosh!"
In the next instant, the antenna on Buu's head suddenly stretched out, snagging Vegeta's ankle.
"Hmph, cheap tricks!"
Vegeta scoffed.
He formed a ki-blade with his hand and slashed downward.
"Slice..."
The antenna on Buu's head was cut clean off.
Vegeta gave a triumphant smile.
However, the smile didn't last long.
The part of the antenna still wrapped around Vegeta's ankle suddenly lengthened several times over, quickly binding Vegeta like a pretzel.
Vegeta's expression stiffened.
Buu grinned, controlling the flesh-strand to tighten its grip.
Vegeta winced slightly from the pain.
"The same trick won't work on me!"
Vegeta roared, his divine power surging wildly.
"Boom!"
With a massive explosion, the divine power erupting from Vegeta shattered Buu's binding.
For a moment, pieces of Buu's body flew in all directions.
"Hmph, is that all?"
Vegeta sneered.
"Clap!"
Suddenly, the fragments of Buu's body converged into four separate pieces, each transforming into a hand.
Vegeta was momentarily stunned, unable to figure out what Buu was up to.
"Zip, zip, zip!"
The four hands rushed toward Vegeta, launching a fierce assault.
Buu grinned and joined the fray, raining punches and kicks on Vegeta.
Vegeta, using his two hands against Buu's six, found himself struggling to keep up.
After a while, even after using his feet, he still couldn't match the opponent's rhythm.
Vegeta was livid.
You bastard!
What kind of bizarre fighting style is this?
Even Goku, watching the scene, was impressed, marveling at Buu's strange tactics.
By now, Broly had appeared beside Goku, watching in silence.
"Broly, you're back?"
Goku greeted him with a smile.
Broly nodded.
"Did you hide all the food?"
Goku chuckled.
Broly nodded again.
"That's good," Goku said with a smile.
"It's that Vegeta guy again... is he going to get beaten up again in a bit?"
Broly watched and guessed.
"Hard to say for now," Goku shook his head.
Broly said no more.
Buu's six hands suddenly accelerated their attacks.
Vegeta resisted for a moment, but soon he was left with only the option to defend, desperately raising his hands to block.
Buu gave a cryptic smile and temporarily halted his attack.
Looking at Vegeta again, he was still flailing his arms in a defensive stance.
Except he was blocking thin air.
"Hey, I'm not even hitting you anymore. What are you still doing?"
Buu asked with a giggle.
Vegeta suddenly snapped out of it, his face turning an ugly shade of red.
Is this bastard playing with me?
Vegeta was enraged, the deep blue light on his body growing even more intense.
"Grab! Grab! Grab! Grab!"
Suddenly, Buu's four detached hands lunged forward, grabbing Vegeta's wrists and ankles.
Vegeta was horrified and struggled desperately.
However, the strength of these four hands was not to be underestimated.
They pinned Vegeta's wrists and ankles to the ground.
"What... what are you doing?"
Vegeta's face paled.
"Hehe!"
Buu grinned and sat down right on Vegeta's stomach.
"Oof..."
As Buu sat on him, Vegeta spat out a mouthful of bile.
Buu's smile grew even brighter as he began a relentless assault on Vegeta's face.
Vegeta let out a series of cries.
"How tragic..."
Broly covered his face.
"Buu seems to be playing," Goku sighed softly.
"Has Vegeta used his full power yet?"
Broly asked.
"I don't know... maybe there's an even stronger transformation," Goku said, scratching his head.
"Uh..."
Broly nodded.
Buu's attack on Vegeta continued, his fists falling like rain on Vegeta's face and head.
The problem was, whenever Vegeta tried to counter, he found his hands and legs pinned down tight; he was truly fuming.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Looking again, Buu's other two fists had detached from his arms and were still relentlessly attacking Vegeta.
"The fists can even operate after leaving the body?"
Broly was stunned.
"Buu's body is just that unique," Goku remarked.
"Is it okay if we don't go help?"
Broly asked.
"Let's wait a bit longer," Goku suggested.
Vegeta's temper finally hit its boiling point.
A more intense deep blue flame erupted from his body.
"BOOM!"
The powerful divine power instantly shattered Buu's six hands into dust.
Buu stared blankly at his shattered hands, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
He could clearly feel that he had completely lost connection with those six hands.
This meant those hands were permanently destroyed.
Vegeta leaped up from the ground, glaring coldly at Buu, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Hmph, the game is over! Prepare to die, Majin Buu!"
Buu's expression also grew more serious as he took a combat stance.
...
Beerus's Planet.
"RUMBLE!"
A series of massive explosions suddenly erupted from the castle where Beerus was sleeping, one after another, echoing through the air.
Whis looked toward the castle, his expression calm.
"Lord Beerus should be waking up now, right?"
the Oracle Fish asked beside Whis.
"Oh my, that's the alarm Lord Beerus set for himself. I suppose it is time for him to wake up."
Whis smiled, then gave the Oracle Fish a deep look.
"I recall the alarm wasn't supposed to go off for another three years. Did you change the time on the alarm?"
The Oracle Fish gave a non-committal smile, essentially admitting it.
Whis's expression shifted slightly, and he asked,
"By the way, Oracle Fish, what were you saying just now?"
