"Pfft!"

Buu was enraged by the utterly mocking look in Son Goten's eyes. Scorching steam poured from the holes in his head and arms as he turned into a streak of purple light and hurtled toward Son Goten at full speed. He'd decided to hold nothing back and kill the accursed brat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Son Goten still wore that same mocking expression. The instant Buu got close, a series of thunderous booms rang out. The ripples in the air couldn't even keep up with the speed of his blows, and Buu went flying once more.

This time, everyone saw Son Goten throw just one punch, yet countless fist marks appeared on Buu's body.

"Bang!"

Son Goten's punch left Buu powerless to fight back and drove him into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Everyone looked as though they were questioning reality. They'd only seen Goten throw one punch, yet at least a hundred fist marks had appeared on Buu's body. Buu was probably about to cry!

"Hey, Buu, you absorbed Vegeta, so why are you still so weak? Uncle Vegeta would cry if he knew what you'd done with his power," Son Goten taunted the crater.

"Qiu~"

"Boom!"

Purple beams of light emerged from the cracks between the stones underground. Then a purple pillar of energy rose up, obliterating the rocks, and Buu burst out of the ground looking utterly battered.

"Pfft."

Son Goten pressed his lips together, trying hard not to laugh at Buu's appearance. That only made Buu even angrier.

"Raaah!" In a fit of rage, Buu frantically raised his power. The terrifying shock waves made the entire sky tremble. To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Son Gohan and Trunks quickly leaped far away, taking the bewildered Supreme Kai with them.

The same confident smile remained at the corner of Son Goten's mouth. His shoulder-length hair fluttered in the raging wind, and he paid no attention to Buu's rising power.

"Whoosh."

A blinding light burst from Buu, making Son Goten and the others instinctively shield their eyes. When the light faded and they opened them again, Son Gohan and Trunks stared up at the sky in terror.

Buu held a gigantic purple ball of energy above his head with one hand. The energy it radiated was enough to wipe Earth off the map. Ripples spread through the air around it, and Son Gohan and Trunks turned ashen. If that energy ball came down, Earth was doomed.

"Hm? What's that supposed to mean?" Son Goten's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Don't tell me you're planning to destroy Earth."

"Exactly!" Buu proudly held up the energy ball. "This ball has enough power to blow up a planet. So, what are you going to do now? If you're afraid to die, you can run away, but Earth won't survive. Besides, Saiyans can't live in space for long, while I can survive just fine! Hahaha!"

At that, Buu excitedly tried to stand up from his wheelchair... Ahem, no, he burst into delighted laughter. He didn't notice Son Goten looking at him like he was a hopeless idiot. Kid, someone else thought he was just as impressive a few years ago and had the same idea as you. Unfortunately, he's dead now, and the grass on his grave is ten meters tall.

That someone was Frieza, the idiot. He thought he could survive in space, so he tried to destroy Namek, only to get beaten like a dog by Dad, Son Goku.

"Sure. If you don't throw it, you're my grandson," Son Goten said with a faint smile. Buu was so furious he nearly broke his nose.

"Then you can be buried with Earth!" Buu roared angrily and hurled the energy ball at Son Goten. It tore through the air amid a fierce gale, and before it even arrived, terrifying blasts of wind swept across the battlefield.

Son Goten calmly raised a hand and opened his palm, catching the incoming energy ball and stopping it dead.

"No way!"

"Goten caught it!"

Son Gohan and Trunks had been reduced to cheering "666," and now they stared at Son Goten in shock. He didn't even look remotely strained—in fact, he was picking his nose with his other hand. What the hell? They were in the middle of a fight! Could he take this seriously, damn it?

"I'm returning it, Buu," Son Goten said calmly. With a powerful sweep of his hand, he sent the energy ball hurtling back toward Buu even faster than before.

The energy ball shot past Buu, unstoppable, and burst through Earth's atmosphere into space... where it exploded.

The shock wave from the explosion even reached Earth. The people down below, unaware of what had happened, stared in confusion. WTF was that? The northern lights... my ass. This wasn't the North Pole!

"Whoosh."

Son Goten appeared in front of Buu as if he'd teleported. His calm expression never left his handsome face.

"You... scum." Son Goten pointed at Buu, his scorn and contempt plain to see. "If Uncle Vegeta knew you'd put his power to such good use, he'd probably come back and strangle you!"

"Damn it, die!" Buu was enraged by Son Goten once again. He roared and charged toward him.

Son Goten gave Buu a casual glance, then slapped him into the dirt as if swatting a mosquito. "Stop moving around. Dad's talking. Try moving again, damn it."

Buu, slapped into the ground by Son Goten, was completely dumbfounded. Dad was so scary... Wait, where the hell had he gotten a dad? Thinking this, Buu tried to get up and fight Son Goten to the death, only for Son Goten to slap him down again without mercy.

"Aw, I didn't realize you'd already gone senile. It's okay, though. Even if you're a fool, Dad still loves you," Son Goten said with an expression of "regret."

Buu's backside clenched. Ignoring his injuries, he quickly ran away and warily watched Son Goten as if he were some kind of pervert. "Liar! I don't feel any love at all!"

"Fair enough. A father's love is silent, after all." Son Goten stomped Buu into the ground. "So, how's that? Heavy?"

The weight pressing down on Buu was like a thousand-jin weight, leaving him unable to get up. "So heavy."

"That's right. A father's love is as heavy as a mountain," Son Goten said again, with his usual merciless taunting.

"Pfft!"

Buu's face turned red. Son Goten was driving him mad.
