With a roar from Gogeta, terrifying power erupted from his body.

Gogeta didn't waste any time and went straight on the offensive. After all, with Gogito present, he wanted to finish off Majin Buu quickly so he could have a proper fight with Gogito.

Gogeta rushed right into Buu's face, throwing a punch that struck straight at Buu's head.

Buu crossed his arms to block the blow, and the two immediately began to grapple. Their speed was so immense that only Gogito could see them clearly; Future Gohan could barely keep up, while everyone else looked on in shock.

"That's incredible! I never imagined that when Son Goku and Vegeta fused, they would become this powerful!" Krillin exclaimed.

"They should be able to finish off that Majin Buu easily now," Trunks said happily.

"No," Gogito countered.

"Gogeta's current power isn't much greater than Majin Buu's. While Gogeta is stronger, Majin Buu's constitution is unique; he can regenerate even if beaten to a pulp, and he knows magic. It's hard to say. Unless Gogeta uses even greater power to completely annihilate Majin Buu, it won't be easy," Gogito explained.

"But if he kills Majin Buu outright, the people he absorbed will die along with him," Gogito added, voicing Gogeta's concern.

"Ah!!!"

The others panicked upon hearing Gogito's explanation.

"Then what should we do?"

"This is the perfect chance to test the Forced Spirit Fission I learned on Planet Yardrat," Gogito said, eager to try it out.

With that, Gogito flashed behind Buu. Buu was currently locked in a heated battle with Gogeta and didn't notice him at all.

Gogito landed a punch directly into Buu's kidney. Buu's eyes widened in shock, and Gogeta paused, waiting to see what Gogito had up his sleeve.

As Buu turned around, he was met with another punch that caved in his face. Gogito followed up with a strike to Buu's stomach, then clasped his hands together and fired a ki blast that hit Buu dead on. Golden light erupted from Buu's body, and several figures were ejected: Son Goku, Vegeta, Son Gohan, Son Goten, Trunks, and a Fat Buu.

Majin Buu let out a piercing shriek, his face twisted in agony.

Seeing the absorbed individuals ejected, the others rushed forward to catch them.

Gogito didn't give Buu any time to transform into Kid Buu. He gathered a ki blast in his hand and blasted Buu into ashes, then fired another one to finish him off for good. Just like that, the Majin Buu who had rampaged through World 1 was killed the moment he arrived in this world. It could only be said that he was unlucky to have run into a cheater like Gogito.

Gogito turned to look at Gogeta and said, "Didn't you want to see my power? Come on then."

Gogeta wasn't in a rush to attack. After all, he had just been evenly matched with Majin Buu, yet Gogito had easily slaughtered him. Gogeta decided to go all out.

"Yah~~!!"

Gogeta arched his back and roared wildly, transforming directly into a Super Saiyan 3.

Gogito also transformed into a Super Saiyan. Gogeta in his base form was already difficult to handle, and the only reason Majin Buu had been defeated so easily was due to a sneak attack combined with the suppression of Forced Spirit Fission.

Gogeta struck first, firing a ki blast. Gogito countered with one of his own, and the two blasts collided in a massive explosion. The two immediately clashed within the smoke, their punches and kicks creating thunderous sounds, the released energy causing the surrounding rocks to shatter and collapse.

Before long, Gogeta was sent flying by Gogito. Gogito used Instant Transmission to appear behind him, but Gogeta had anticipated this; he turned and fired an energy blast. Gogito swatted it away with his left hand while his right hand was already gathering a ki blast, which he slammed into Gogeta at point-blank range. Gogeta reacted quickly, catching it with both hands, but he was slowly being pushed back.

Gogito detonated the blast, and the terrifying energy instantly swallowed Gogeta.

However, Gogeta appeared behind Gogito in an instant; he had used Instant Transmission the moment the explosion occurred.

Gogeta delivered a fierce kick, aiming straight for Gogito's face.

Gogito reached out and caught Gogeta's foot.

"What?"

Gogeta tried to pull his leg away, but Gogito held on tight. Gogito grabbed Gogeta's foot with both hands, spun him around, and slammed him into the ground.

"BOOM~~~"

The ground shattered into a web of cracks, and smoke filled the air.

Gogito then unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, performing the classic prince-style tactic.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The smoke on the ground grew thicker, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Gogito raised his hands above his head, gathered a massive energy sphere, and hurled it at the ground.

"BANG~~"

The terrifying energy scattered, and the onlookers were caught in the shockwave, sent flying and crashing into a pile of rocks in the distance.

"Ugh~~"

"That hurts."

Son Goku from the other world rubbed his head (the other world is called World 1, and its people are referred to as World 1 So-and-so, while the people of this world keep their original names). Memories flooded back. Wasn't he absorbed by Majin Buu? What was going on? It was impossible for anyone in the universe to defeat the guy who had absorbed their entire group, right?

Just as World 1 Goku was lost in thought, Krillin pulled him back to reality.

"Goku, you're awake!" Krillin stepped forward to help World 1 Goku up.

The explosion had sent everyone flying, and since Krillin was relatively weak, World 1 Goku had been thrown from his arms and hit his head on a rock, which is what woke him up.

Trunks was holding his father, the one-armed Gohan was carrying World 1 Piccolo, Piccolo was holding World 1 Gohan, and Kid Gohan was looking after the two little ones. Because Kid Gohan was too weak, he had stayed far away and wasn't caught in the blast.

Fat Buu: Is no one going to look after me?

"Krillin?"

"Aren't you dead?"

Goku No. 1 asked, puzzled.

"Uh..."

"It's like this."

Krillin began to explain everything to Goku No. 1.

"I see."

It turned out that Majin Buu had brought it upon himself; he had nothing better to do than wander into another parallel world, where he ran into a tough opponent and got wiped out.

"So, I'm in another world now."

"The guy you said defeated Majin Buu is that one over there, right?"

Goku No. 1 looked toward Gogito, who was hovering in the sky in the distance.

"That's right."

Krillin nodded in confirmation.

On the battlefield, the smoke cleared, revealing Gogeta inside.

Gogeta had crossed his arms to block most of the attacks, but that final massive energy blast had dealt him significant damage. He was covered in wounds, yet his eyes burned with excitement.

"Gogito, you really are strong. You managed to beat me up like this while only in your Super Saiyan 1 form."

"Please, let me witness your full power! Gogito!"

Gogeta shouted.

"I knew it!!"

Gogito rubbed his forehead. Even after fusing with Goku, his personality hadn't changed; he still loved challenging powerful forces.
