Handling Majin Buu

"Majin Buu..."

The Supreme Kai's gaze grew profound, recalling a painful past.

"That was a very, very long time ago, back when the humans of your Earth had only just begun to learn to walk upright."

"Back then, in the depths of the universe, there was an evil sorcerer named Bibidi. One day, this evil sorcerer Bibidi accidentally created a terrifying life form—the one who would later become known as Majin Buu..."

"Majin Buu possessed absolutely no emotions; he knew only slaughter and destruction. He was a monster whose sole purpose for existing was to create terror."

"In the thousands of years that followed, tens of thousands of planets were turned into dead worlds..."

Son Gohan actually knew all of this, so he simply treated it as a refresher.

There was nothing much to say; he was essentially an Android 17 and 18 Plus version.

Furthermore, he also knew that Majin Buu was not actually a life form created by Bibidi, but a terrifying creature that had survived since ancient times.

It was just that Bibidi happened to possess a method to control him.

It was merely that the Supreme Kai believed him to be a monster of Bibidi's making.

The Supreme Kai continued, "At that time, besides myself, there was the West Kai, the North Kai, the South Kai, and the Grand Supreme Kai who led us all."

"I was the youngest then, and I followed them everywhere I went."

"All four of them possessed astonishing power, especially the Grand Supreme Kai; he could have killed an expert like Frieza with just a single finger."

"But later, Majin Buu invaded the Sacred World of the Kai. All four of my seniors were killed by Majin Buu. Only I, the youngest, managed to escape by chance because I was too afraid to fight back."

A look of pain appeared on the Supreme Kai's face, as if he were loathing his own cowardice and incompetence from back then.

He took a deep breath to steady himself, then continued:

"Majin Buu was simply too terrifying. Later, even Bibidi, who had created him, grew afraid of him. So, he took advantage of the moments when Majin Buu was forced to rest to seal him away, rendering him unable to act."

"Several years passed just like that, and the ambitious Bibidi wanted to invade Earth, so he brought the sealed Majin Buu along with him."

"Just as Bibidi was in the middle of undoing Majin Buu's seal, I seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and killed that evil sorcerer."

"At the time, I was worried that excessive stimulation would cause Majin Buu to awaken, so I didn't dare to destroy him."

"Thinking that only the sorcerer Bibidi could undo Majin Buu's seal, I hid him in a very secluded place on Earth. Several million years have passed since then..."

The story finally concluded, and Son Gohan could feel that the Supreme Kai was on the verge of collapse.

A sense of exhaustion spread throughout his entire body.

It seemed Majin Buu had truly become a nightmare in the Supreme Kai's heart; just thinking about him was enough to keep him awake at night.

Son Gohan organized his thoughts and said, "Supreme Kai, have you ever considered moving Majin Buu to a different hiding spot? After all, the Earth of today is no longer the Earth of several million years ago."

"The human population on Earth today is much larger than before, and they are no longer as slow-witted as they once were. It is no longer safe for you to keep Majin Buu hidden there..."

The Supreme Kai looked at him and said, "Mr. Gohan's concerns are not without merit, but where should we put him? I am truly worried that if he is stimulated in any way, he will break the seal and awaken."

Son Gohan smiled. "You don't need to be so afraid. Even if Majin Buu were to break the seal now, I could handle him. I am only worried that since he is left on Earth without anyone guarding him, he might be stolen by someone with ulterior motives at any time."

"If that were to happen, Supreme Kai, you would bear an inescapable responsibility."

"I can't exactly stay on Earth to watch over him every single second, can I?"

"Uh..." The Supreme Kai frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then, Mr. Gohan, do you have any ideas?"

Son Gohan smiled. "I actually do. How about I move Majin Buu to the Sacred World of the Kai?"

"What?" The Supreme Kai and Kibito's expressions changed drastically. "That is absolutely out of the question."

Son Gohan raised a hand to interrupt them and said:

"Hear me out first. The egg containing Majin Buu's seal is truly not safe on Earth. Not to mention the various unstable factors, Supreme Kai, have you never considered that Bibidi might have had descendants or the like?"

"If his descendants were to secretly go to Earth and steal Majin Buu, you would have a massive headache on your hands, Supreme Kai."

"Am I right or am I right? Here is what I am thinking: doesn't the Sacred Land have a sealing magic circle? That's right, the very place where the Old Kai was previously sealed. If we place Majin Buu there, you can check on him at any time, ensuring that nothing will ever go wrong."

Supreme Kai: ...

Kibito: ...

Although what Son Gohan said was correct.

But who would be able to sleep soundly at night knowing they had buried a landmine under their own floorboards?

Let alone burying a Majin Buu?

The Supreme Kai immediately became conflicted.

The main reason was that Majin Buu had once invaded the Sacred World of the Kai and killed four Supreme Kais right here, leaving Shin with a very painful memory.

Just as the Supreme Kai was still hesitating, The Old Kai, who had remained silent until now, spoke up: "Fine, let's do as Gohan says."

"..."

Since the Old Kai had given the order, how could the Supreme Kai and Kibito dare to have any other opinions?

They had no choice but to agree.

"Yes, Ancestor," Supreme Kai said, his voice devoid of energy.

Seeing this, Son Gohan patted his chest in assurance. "Lord Supreme Kai, you don't need to worry so much. I promise you here and now, if that Majin Buu ever shows any signs of movement, just contact me at any time, and I will rush back immediately to deal with it."

"Mm, that is good," Supreme Kai said, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Then, without further ado, shall we set off now?" Son Gohan asked.

"Very well. Kibito, I must trouble you to take us there," Supreme Kai said, looking toward Kibito.

Kibito replied, "Lord Supreme Kai, you are too kind; this is my duty."

As he spoke, he placed his hands on the shoulders of Son Gohan and Supreme Kai.

"Whoosh!"

Son Gohan felt his vision blur, and in a flash, the world transformed around him.

The three of them had already arrived on Earth.

Truly impressive, he thought.

Son Gohan's eyes burned with excitement; he wanted to learn Kibito's Instant Transmission even more now.

This was an ice field where the biting cold wind cut to the bone, and the sky and earth merged into an endless expanse of white.

"Is this the ice field deep within the Yunze Bite Highland?" Son Gohan asked, looking around for a moment before recognizing the location.

"It is," Supreme Kai nodded.

"Then where is the seal sphere containing Majin Buu?" Son Gohan asked, puzzled.

Supreme Kai pointed to the ground beneath their feet and said, "It is right under our feet."

Son Gohan crouched down, brushed away the ice shards on the surface, and squinted as he looked down. Sure enough, beneath ten meters of solid ice, he saw something that looked like a walnut.

That must be the seal sphere of Majin Buu.

Son Gohan chuckled. "This little guy is quite pitiful, lying here in the cold and hunger for so many years."

"This used to be a desert, but after several crustal movements, it turned into what you see now," Supreme Kai explained from the side.

"Okay, please step aside, you two. I'll dig it out right now," Son Gohan said, already condensing a glowing blue energy sphere in his hand before slamming it down onto the ice.

"Ah, no—!" Supreme Kai and Kibito were shocked, but it was already too late to stop him.

They had never even dared to imagine retrieving the seal sphere with such violence.

"BOOM!!!"

The ice surface exploded, sending chunks of ice flying in every direction. The whistling sounds made Supreme Kai and Kibito's hearts jump with terror.

At the same time, the massive [walnut] flew into the air, then crashed heavily onto the ice, rolling a few times until it came to a stop at the feet of Supreme Kai and Kibito.

"Hiss~"

Supreme Kai froze completely.

Damn it, this weather is just too cold.
