"Majin Buu!"

Trunks immediately looked excited when he heard that.

"Goten, did you hear that? A demon?"

"Yeah!"

Son Goten nodded.

Piccolo was utterly speechless.

What was there to be excited about with a demon? He was a Demon King himself.

"What happened after that?"

Son Goku asked.

"Later, because Bibidi found Majin Buu too powerful and difficult to control, he sealed him away.

While Bibidi was sealing Majin Buu, I found his hideout and killed him. I thought that would be the end of it, but something terrifying happened recently!"

Piccolo: "Something terrifying?"

"Yeah!"

East Kaioshin nodded.

"Bibidi had a son. His name was Babidi, and like Bibidi, he is an evil wizard. He can also undo Majin Buu's seal!

I had those two humans absorb Gohan's energy because I wanted to use them to find Babidi!"

Piccolo: "So that's what happened!"

East Kaioshin nodded.

"So all of you, make sure Spopovich and Yamu don't notice you!"

After hearing this, Piccolo and the others immediately looked at Son Goten and Trunks.

The two of them were the most likely to expose them.

"Uncle Piccolo, why are you looking at us?"

Trunks asked.

"We're tracking Spopovich and Yamu right now. You two must not expose us!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Piccolo. The two of us definitely won't expose us!"

Piccolo glanced at Trunks. The two he worried about most right now were him and Son Goten.

"Lord Supreme Kai, is that Majin Buu really that strong?"

Son Goku asked.

"Very strong!"

"How strong?"

"Let me put it this way: back then, our Supreme Kai could wipe out Frieza with a single finger, yet he still couldn't defeat Majin Buu!"

"I see!"

"Yeah!"

After tracking them for a while, Son Goku and the others saw Gohan and Kibito, who had followed them after sensing their energy.

"Gohan!"

Piccolo greeted Gohan.

Gohan nodded.

"You already know about Majin Buu, right?"

Gohan nodded again.

"Kibito already told me!"

Just then, Spopovich and Yamu suddenly descended ahead of them.

"Goku, they're starting to descend. Should we land too?"

"Okay!"

Son Goku nodded.

With that, Son Goku and the others immediately followed them down.

"Whoosh..."

"Tap..."

Spopovich and Yamu landed in a place surrounded by mountains, with a "house" marked by an M in front of them.

Seeing this, Son Goku and the others immediately landed behind a small hill behind the two.

At that moment, Spopovich and Yamu walked up to the white "house."

The door of the "house" opened, and a short yellow-skinned man emerged with a tall red-skinned man.

The two were Babidi and Dabura.

"D-Dabura the Demon King!"

East Kaioshin's face immediately changed when he saw them.

"What is it, Lord Supreme Kai?"

Gohan asked.

"I never expected Babidi to have found Dabura the Demon King too. This is troublesome!"

"The Demon King?"

"Yes. The so-called Demon Realm is another world apart from your Earth, and Dabura the Demon King is the strongest being in the Demon Realm!"

East Kaioshin said with a grave expression.

As the two spoke, Spopovich and Yamu handed the energy they had collected over to Babidi.

"Lord Babidi, you said before that as long as we gathered enough energy for you, you would reward us?"

Spopovich asked Babidi for his reward with a broad smile.

"Yes, there is indeed a reward!"

Babidi said with a smile.

"What reward?"

Babidi smiled, then suddenly began reciting a spell.

As the spell was spoken, Spopovich's body rapidly swelled up before turning into a puddle of black blood.

Yamu, who stood beside him, was so frightened that he wet himself.

"Do you want a reward?"

"No! I don't want anything, Lord Babidi!"

Babidi sneered and cast the spell again, turning Yamu into a puddle of black blood as well.

Krillin, hiding behind the hill, was immediately terrified by what he saw.

It was not that he feared Babidi and the others' strength, but their invisible method of killing was simply too horrifying.

"This is Babidi's evil magic. However, it only works on those with evil in their hearts, so you don't need to worry too much!"

East Kaioshin said.

Krillin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"These two useless fools didn't even know they were being followed, yet they dared ask me for a reward!"

Babidi looked at the blood on the ground and said.

Dabura nodded.

Because they were too far away, Son Goku and the others did not know they had been discovered.

"Still, the people following us aren't weak. If we can capture them, perhaps we can get enough energy to revive Majin Buu!"

"What is your plan?"

"I plan to lure them into the spaceship, then capture them!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. I am the Demon King of the Demon Realm, after all. I don't consider a mere handful of humans worthy of my attention!"

"Then in that case, I'll leave everything to you!"

Dabura nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Babidi turned and walked toward the spaceship.

Krillin: "Babidi went inside!"

East Kaioshin nodded and said,

"Let's leave this place first, then plan our next move!"

"We're leaving, Lord Supreme Kai?"

Gohan asked.

"Yes. Everything has gone beyond what I expected, so we need to make a new plan!"

Just then, Dabura flew toward Son Goku and the others.

Piccolo: "Not good, it looks like he found us!"

"Then we have no choice but to fight!"

As Son Goku spoke, he took the lead and charged out.

"Hey, Goku!"

East Kaioshin wanted to stop him.

But Gohan and the others charged out with Son Goku as well.

Helpless, East Kaioshin could only bring Kibito along and charge out with them.

When Dabura saw Son Goku and the others reveal themselves, a cold smile immediately appeared on his face.

Suddenly, he spat two globs of saliva at Krillin and Piccolo.

The two were startled, but it was already too late to dodge.

As soon as the saliva struck them, their bodies immediately turned to stone.

"Uncle Piccolo!"

Gohan was shocked.

"Goku, Gohan, Dabura's saliva can turn people into stone, so make sure you don't get hit by it!"

East Kaioshin said.

"Damn it!"

Gohan gritted his teeth.

Dabura laughed loudly and was about to turn back toward the spaceship when he suddenly discovered that he could not move.

"M-My body won't move!"
