"How was it?"

Yamu asked.

"S-So much incredible energy!"

Spopovich said as he looked at the rapidly spinning needle on the Energy Collector.

"Incredible energy—it's him!"

Yamu said excitedly.

On the tournament stage.

Kibito looked at Gohan before him, equally shocked by him.

What incredible power. It's hard to imagine he's a mortal!

"As you wished, I transformed into a Super Saiyan. What do we do next? Are we supposed to fight like this?"

Gohan asked.

Vegeta: "That bastard was at more than this level when he defeated Cell. He must have neglected his training because of all the peace!"

"No, even so, his power still exceeds my imagination. Can we really stop that power?"

East Kaioshin said.

Son Goku: "Stop?"

Just then, Spopovich and Yamu suddenly rushed onto the tournament stage.

Gohan turned around and saw the two men lunging at him.

Gohan slightly clenched his fists, preparing to knock them both down, when his body suddenly became unable to move.

"What!"

Gohan was startled.

The next second, Spopovich tightly grabbed hold of Gohan.

Seizing the opportunity, Yamu inserted the needle of the Energy Collector into Gohan's body and began absorbing his energy.

Gohan immediately let out a scream of agony.

"Gohan!"

Videl was startled and wanted to rush onto the stage to stop them, but Son Goku reached out and held her back.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Isn't Gohan your son?"

"Trust me. Gohan will be fine!"

"But..."

"I understand how you feel, but I promise you, Gohan will definitely be fine!"

Although Videl was still worried after hearing this, she chose to trust Son Goku.

"Contestants Spopovich and Yamu, what are you doing? Suddenly rushing onto the stage like this is against the rules! I can disqualify you from the tournament!"

Seeing this, the referee below the stage hurriedly tried to stop them.

The two ignored him.

Although the referee tried his best to stop them, he was only an ordinary person. He could only talk, not fight.

Just then, because too much energy had been absorbed from his body, Gohan reverted to normal.

Seeing this from the audience seats, Trunks immediately spoke to Son Goten beside him.

"Goten, your brother isn't a Super Saiyan anymore. Aren't you going to help him?"

"It's fine. Dad and the others are here. My brother should be okay!"

Trunks nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gohan's face turned incomparably pale.

"Gohan!"

Worried for Gohan's safety, Chi-Chi screamed hysterically toward the stage.

Just then, the energy in Gohan's body was completely drained.

"All right, Spopovich. His energy has been completely drained. Shall we go?"

Spopovich nodded and released Gohan from his hold.

Bang!

Gohan collapsed to the ground, utterly bloodless.

The two turned and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, the referee below the stage hurriedly called for medical personnel, only for Kibito, who stood on the stage, to raise a hand and stop him.

"He's fine. He's only a little exhausted!"

The referee said, "Exhausted?"

"Yes. I can restore his strength very soon!"

"B-But..."

As Kibito spoke, he crouched down and placed both hands on Gohan's chest, restoring his stamina.

Kibito sensed that some power still remained within Gohan's body, and Gohan astonished him once again.

At that moment, Gohan recovered his strength and rose from the ground.

"C-Contestant Gohan has gotten up!"

"Gohan!"

Seeing this, Videl and the others finally let go of their worries.

"W-What exactly is going on?"

Gohan asked.

Kibito glanced below the stage. Son Goku, Vegeta, and the others had already left the World Martial Arts Tournament venue with East Kaioshin.

"Goku, Vegeta, where are you going?"

Bulma and Chi-Chi shouted at the two men.

Because they were too far away, Son Goku and the others did not hear them.

"Dad and Uncle Goku left, Goten!"

Trunks said.

Son Goten smiled and nodded.

"Trunks, should we follow them and take a look too?"

"Yeah!"

Trunks nodded.

Whoosh!

After saying that, the two immediately used the Flight Technique and flew into the sky.

"Goten, Trunks, where are you going?"

Chi-Chi and Bulma shouted at them.

After hearing them, the two immediately sped up and flew onward.

"Gohan, if you want to know everything, follow me!"

After saying that, Kibito immediately jumped down from the tournament stage.

Seeing this, Gohan followed him and jumped down from the stage.

Elsewhere.

After East Kaioshin led Son Goku and the others away from the World Martial Arts Tournament venue, he revealed his true identity to them.

Krillin: "Supreme Kai? Goku, what kind of god is a Supreme Kai?"

"I'm not too sure either. I only know Lord Kai and the Grand Supreme Kai!"

"We Supreme Kais are gods even greater than the Grand Supreme Kai!"

East Kaioshin said.

"A god greater than the Grand Supreme Kai? Then doesn't that make you even more powerful than the Grand Supreme Kai?"

East Kaioshin nodded slightly.

"Then, Lord Supreme Kai, why did you let Spopovich and Yamu absorb Gohan's energy?"

Krillin asked.

After hearing this, East Kaioshin looked behind him.

At that moment, two figures were rapidly flying toward them.

Those two were Son Goten and Trunks.

Very soon, the two flew up beside Son Goku and the others.

"Goten, Trunks!"

"Dad, Uncle Goku!"

Son Goku and Vegeta nodded.

"The reason I let Spopovich and Yamu absorb Gohan's energy was because we were looking for someone!"

East Kaioshin said.

Son Goku: "Someone?"

"Yes, the person controlling them. His name is Babidi, and he is an evil wizard!"

"Babidi?"

"That's right. A very, very long time ago, when the humans on your Earth had only just begun walking on two legs, the universe had the four Supreme Kais of east, west, south, and north, as well as the Grand Supreme Kai!

Everything had been peaceful, but then one day, an evil wizard named Bibidi created a monster named Majin Buu!"

Krillin: "Majin Buu?"

"Yes. After Bibidi created Majin Buu, he controlled Majin Buu and wreaked havoc across countless planets. A great many planets were destroyed by Majin Buu in a short period of time.

After learning of this, the bravest South Supreme Kai went to fight Majin Buu, only to be absorbed by him.

After that, West Kaioshin and North Kai went to fight Majin Buu, but Majin Buu killed them.

Finally, the Grand Supreme Kai went to fight Majin Buu and was also absorbed by him, while... while I was fortunate enough to survive because I did not take part in the battle!"

East Kaioshin said, his voice trembling.

If he had not been so weak back then, he would not have had to watch helplessly as his companions died before his eyes.
