Evil Buu was quite clever; he did not rush to fight the Shadow Dragon Ball dragons, but instead observed the fluctuations in power levels across Earth. He discovered that one of the dragons was not particularly formidable, so he headed off to absorb it first.

Indeed, this dragon was Two-Star Dragon. He was the weakest, and while his abilities were decent, his combat power was lackluster. The moment they met, Two-Star Dragon was absorbed by Evil Buu, as he simply wasn't strong enough to resist.

Then, like a player grinding through a game, Buu constantly sought out and absorbed stronger beings to enhance his strength, challenging even greater foes. Whenever he couldn't defeat a dragon, Buu would simply absorb the surviving humans or Z Fighters on Earth. By now, he had already absorbed Two-Star Dragon, Seven-Star Dragon, Six-Star Dragon, Five-Star Dragon, as well as the Earthlings and Z Fighters.

Buu was now at a loss for what to do, having absorbed everything he could. While he could currently defeat Three-Star Dragon, that dragon was truly detestable. Despite being brothers with Four-Star Dragon, the two were polar opposites, and this "sneaky rat" had disgusted Buu several times already.

Just as Buu was wondering what to do, he sensed a presence—two powerful auras locked in combat. Without a word, Buu masked his own presence and went to investigate, discovering that Super One-Star Dragon was attacking Four-Star Dragon. Since Super One-Star Dragon needed the Shadow Dragon Ball to become Perfect Super Saiyan 4, and he couldn't find any other dragons, he had targeted Four-Star Dragon.

The enhancement of the Dragon Balls in this world was far greater than in the original story; whereas the original only granted two wishes, this world allowed for three. Super One-Star Dragon was born from this boosted power, making him much stronger than his original counterpart. Consequently, Four-Star Dragon was no match for him, even though he kept scorching Super One-Star Dragon.

Yet, in the eyes of Super One-Star Dragon, this was nothing more than a death throe. Before long, the outmatched Four-Star Dragon was beaten into the ground, unable to rise. At this moment, Super One-Star Dragon began to mock him.

It is common knowledge that villains die from talking too much, but Super One-Star Dragon did not die; he merely sabotaged himself, as Four-Star Dragon had no power left to resist.

Majin Buu quietly crept into the crevice of the rocks where Four-Star Dragon lay.

With a whoosh, the flesh fragments of Majin Buu split apart and swallowed Four-Star Dragon. Super One-Star Dragon panicked at the sight; after all, he had finally found the Four-Star Dragon he had been obsessing over, only for it to vanish just like that. However, Majin Buu had no intention of fighting Super One-Star Dragon. While the latter was still stunned in place, Majin Buu fled and masked his presence. Super One-Star Dragon couldn't believe that someone else was capable of absorbing a Shadow Dragon Ball besides himself.

By the time Super One-Star Dragon reacted, he could no longer find Majin Buu. Majin Buu had a clear goal: having absorbed Four-Star Dragon, he was certain he could beat Three-Star Dragon, no matter how disgusting the latter was. The gap in strength was already too vast. He planned to absorb Three-Star Dragon first, then see if his combat power was sufficient to take on Super One-Star Dragon; if he could win, he would absorb him as well.

However, after Majin Buu found and absorbed Three-Star Dragon, he did not intend to seek out Super One-Star Dragon immediately. He knew that the power he had absorbed required time to master, and he would surely lose if he fought Super One-Star Dragon now.

Super One-Star Dragon searched the entire Earth but could not find any other Shadow Dragon Ball dragons. A thought crossed his mind: Could that pink creature have absorbed all the dragons? It must be so, otherwise why can't I find any others? Wait, if he can absorb other dragons, that means he can absorb me too.

This made Super One-Star Dragon break into a cold sweat. He knew this was a real threat, having seen Majin Buu absorb Four-Star Dragon with his own eyes. He had to find him quickly; if the creature mastered that power and he couldn't defeat him, he would be absorbed himself.

Yet Majin Buu seemed in no hurry, remaining in hiding while Super One-Star Dragon scoured the Earth. By now, very few people remained alive on the planet, and the Z Fighters had all been absorbed by Buu. Since there was no way to contact the God of Destruction's palace, Earth had no one left to protect it.

Once Majin Buu had finished absorbing the Earthlings and Z Fighters, his next target was Super One-Star Dragon.

When Majin Buu and Super One-Star Dragon finally crossed paths, they didn't exchange words and immediately began to fight. Majin Buu's combat power was not as high as Super One-Star Dragon's, but it was impossible for Super One-Star Dragon to defeat him. Unless the gap in power was massive, Majin Buu's terrifying regenerative cells made it impossible to kill him.

Thus, it could be said that neither could kill the other, but being unable to kill him didn't mean Majin Buu couldn't absorb him.

At this moment, the system suddenly triggered a mission.

Detection: Battle between Majin Buu and Super One-Star Dragon on Earth. Please make a choice. Option 1: Let Majin Buu absorb Super One-Star Dragon, then kill the Majin Buu who absorbed him. Reward: Perfect Super Saiyan 4. Option 2: Let the dragon evolve into Super One-Star Dragon and kill him. Reward: Super Saiyan God Blue and Majin Buu Cells. Option 3: Do nothing. Reward: 1000 System Coin. Option 4: Let the Z Fighters defeat both. Reward: Indestructible Potara Earrings and Super Dragon Fist.

Seeing these options, Wei Dong's eyes lit up. Damn, this is giving me a chance, how could I not cherish it?

He explained the situation to Son Goku and the others. They wanted to rush back to Earth immediately, so they had to rely on Whis. But then Wei Dong remembered: Right, my Instant Transmission is just like Kibito's; I can go anywhere. Before he finished speaking, Wei Dong had already vanished from the spot, leaving a bewildered Son Goku and Vegeta behind.

"Hey, Vegeta, Wei Dong seems to have forgotten us!" Vegeta clenched his fists. "By the time we get there, Wei Dong will have already wiped out the Buu on Earth. Kakarot, don't you know Instant Transmission too?"

"Ah, I can't sense any auras on Earth, so I can't use Instant Transmission."

Vegeta was speechless and had no choice but to ask Whis to take them there.
