"Fine, I'll go look for 18 after I finish this fight." Just then, someone approached, though he was hovering in the air, his feet not touching the ground.

Wei Dong recognized him instantly as the Supreme Kai. However, the Z Fighters did not know the man's origins. In the original story, Piccolo only learned of his identity after merging with Kami, but since Piccolo hadn't merged yet, he remained unaware of who this was.

Suddenly, a voice echoed—King Kai was telepathically informing the Z Fighters of the man's identity. Son Goku wanted to spar with the Supreme Kai to see how strong he was, but Kibito immediately began berating Son Goku.

Son Goku didn't take it to heart, though.

The World Martial Arts Tournament began, but the children's division had already concluded before Wei Dong arrived, so he missed it.

The adult division, however, was underway. Once it started, Son Goku snuck over to Wei Dong's side and whispered, "Wei Dong, I've unlocked a new form. It's even more powerful than the Super Saiyan 2 you taught Gohan and me. I think it should be called Super Saiyan 3."

Wei Dong didn't show any surprise; after all, Son Goku would have achieved this by now in the original timeline.

"What about Son Gohan?" I asked curiously.

Son Goku gave an awkward laugh and said, "Son Gohan hasn't trained in seven years and has grown quite rusty. Although he was much stronger than me seven years ago, I'm stronger than that version of him now."

"And Vegeta?" I asked again.

"I don't know about Vegeta, but he shouldn't be too far behind, even though I haven't been living with him."

"I see. So, Goku, how is your Super Saiyan 3 coming along?" I asked.

Goku replied, "It's alright. I have it completely under control." As expected of Son Goku, he had mastered it entirely. Just as he finished speaking, it was time for the match between Son Gohan and Kibito. Just like in the original story, Gohan was about to be drained of his energy, but this time, Kibito didn't manage to suppress him.

Kibito was shocked. "What? How can a mortal possess such power? I couldn't even control this energy!"

At that moment, Son Goku told Son Gohan not to struggle, assuring him it would be fine.

Son Gohan complied.

After absorbing Son Gohan's energy, Babidi's henchmen immediately fled.

Supreme Kai Shin suggested they give chase, but not too quickly—just follow them from behind.

The group following them included Wei Dong, Son Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Biro, Piccolo, and Supreme Kai. A while later, Kibito and Son Gohan caught up as well.

Everyone chatted about their experiences over the years as they pursued the enemies.

When Biro mentioned he had mastered the Kaio-ken up to 80 times, Son Goku praised him repeatedly.

Piccolo, on the other hand, had only mastered the Kaio-ken up to 45 times.

Vegeta clenched his fist and muttered, "Damn it."

When everyone asked about Wei Dong's situation, he claimed his combat power hadn't increased much, as he had been focusing on researching new transformations.

Vegeta broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

The others just laughed, saying nothing.

"Alright, they've gone down. Let's not follow them too closely; we should hide," Supreme Kai Shin said.

Hiding is useless, Wei Dong thought to himself. Damn it, Son Gohan's combat power is so much higher than in the original story that Majin Buu will be revived in an instant. What's the point of hiding? Babidi already knows where we are. What is the point of this? I'll just vaporize that demon king the moment he shows up.

It'll save him from spitting his saliva everywhere—it's disgusting.

Just like in the original story, Babidi killed his two henchmen, and the demon king flew over instantly, wearing a smile on his face.

He was met with a punch to the face that deformed his features. Some of his saliva landed on Wei Dong's fist, but it didn't turn to stone.

Perhaps the gap in their combat power was simply too vast.

Seeing the demon king sent flying, Babidi hurried back to the Spaceship to channel energy to revive Majin Buu.

The demon king, furious, stood up and returned. Suddenly, a sword appeared in his hand. To Wei Dong, this was just pathetic. Are you kidding me? Using a sword? How am I supposed to fight like this?

Forget it, time to send him to meet his maker. The demon king flew toward him. Sigh, isn't this just suicide? I might not be able to beat Majin Buu, but I can definitely torture a piece of trash like you to death.

He was met with another punch, but this time followed by a kick. The demon king couldn't even track Wei Dong's movements.

Being toyed with, the demon king grew enraged and prepared to attack the others. "Well, since you're so desperate, go play in Hell."

"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!" He used Instant Transmission to appear right in front of the demon and unleashed a Kamehameha.

The demon king died just like that. In his final moments, that smile was gone; his face was etched with a lifetime of regret.

Supreme Kai was sweating profusely. "How can these Earthlings be so powerful? This shouldn't be possible." Kibito added, "They've actually surpassed us gods."

Coming to his senses, Supreme Kai shouted, "Everyone, hurry to the Spaceship and stop Majin Buu!"

But Wei Dong spoke up, "No need. Majin Buu will come out on his own soon enough. There's no need to go looking for him."

"What?" Supreme Kai asked, incredulous.

"It's fine. If you don't believe me, just wait here. He'll definitely come out himself."
