"Pshhh~"

Buu was incensed by the maximum-level mockery in Son Goten's eyes. Steam hissed continuously from the vents on his head and arms as he transformed into a streak of purple light, hurtling toward Son Goten with everything he had. He decided right then and there to hold nothing back and finish off this detestable brat.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Son Goten maintained his mocking expression. The moment Buu drew near, a rapid succession of explosions rang out. The ripples in the air couldn't even keep pace with the speed of his strikes, and Buu was sent flying once again.

This time, everyone only saw Son Goten throw a single punch, yet countless fist marks appeared all over Buu's body.

"Thud."

Son Goten's fist left Buu with no room to resist, driving him straight into the ground and creating a massive crater.

Everyone looked on in disbelief, questioning reality itself. Damn it, they only saw Goten throw one punch, yet there were at least a hundred marks on that guy's body. Buu must be on the verge of tears!

"Hey, hey, hey, Buu. You absorbed Vegeta, so why are you still this weak? If Uncle Vegeta knew he'd been absorbed by someone like you, he'd cry," Son Goten taunted toward the pit.

"Shhh~"

"Boom!"

Purple beams of light erupted from the fissures in the earth, followed by a pillar of purple energy that obliterated the surrounding debris. Buu burst out from the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

"Pfft."

Seeing Buu's current state, Son Goten pursed his lips, struggling to hold back a laugh. This only served to make Buu even more furious.

"Hraaaah!" In a blind rage, Buu frantically pushed his energy to the limit. The terrifying shockwaves made the entire sky tremble. To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Son Gohan and Trunks leaped away to a safe distance, dragging the bewildered Supreme Kai along with them.

Son Goten's lips remained curled in a confident smile, his shoulder-length hair fluttering in the gale of energy. He didn't care in the slightest about Buu's power-up.

"Whoosh."

A blinding light erupted from Buu, forcing Son Goten and the others to instinctively shield their eyes. When the light faded and they opened their eyes, Son Gohan and Trunks looked up at the sky in terror.

Buu was holding a massive purple energy sphere above his head with one hand. The energy radiating from it was enough to wipe the Earth clean. The sphere caused ripples to distort the air, and Son Gohan and Trunks turned pale; if this sphere landed, the Earth would be finished.

"Hmm? What is the meaning of this?" Son Goten's lips hooked into a sneer. "Don't tell me you're actually trying to destroy the Earth."

"That's right!" Buu boasted, supporting the sphere. "This energy sphere has enough mass to blow up a planet. What will you do now? If you're afraid of dying, then get out of the way. But the Earth won't survive, and Saiyans can't survive in space for long, whereas I am immortal. Hahaha!"

As he said this, Buu got so excited he tried to stand up from his wheelchair—er, wait, wrong script—he laughed hysterically, failing to notice Son Goten's look of pity for the mentally challenged. Young man, a few years ago, someone else was just as arrogant as you, with the exact same idea. Too bad he's dead now, and the grass on his grave is already ten meters high.

Yes, that idiot was Frieza. He thought he could survive in space and tried to destroy Namek, only to be beaten like a dog by my old man, Son Goku.

"Fine then. If you don't throw it, you're my grandson," Son Goten said lightly, infuriating Buu so much he nearly twisted his own nose out of shape.

"Then go to hell along with the Earth!" Buu roared, hurling the energy sphere at Son Goten with all his might. The sphere tore through the air, accompanied by fierce winds; before it even arrived, the terrifying pressure swept across the entire field.

Son Goten lazily raised his hand, palm open, and caught the incoming sphere, stopping it dead in its tracks.

"No way."

"Goten actually caught it."

Son Gohan and Trunks, now reduced to mere spectators, stared at Son Goten in shock. It looked as if Goten was under no pressure at all—he even used his other hand to pick his nose. Damn it, this is a fight, take it seriously, you jerk!

"Here, have it back, Buu," Son Goten said nonchalantly. With a powerful flick of his arm, he sent the energy sphere hurtling back toward Buu at a speed even greater than before.

The sphere streaked past Buu, unstoppable, and shot out of the Earth's atmosphere, exploding in the vacuum of space.

The shockwave from the explosion even reached the Earth. The oblivious humans looked up in confusion. WTF, what the hell is that? An aurora... yeah, right, like this is the North Pole.

"Whoosh."

Son Goten appeared in front of Buu as if he had teleported, his cool, indifferent expression never leaving his handsome face.

"You, piece of trash." Son Goten pointed at Buu, his gaze filled with undisguised contempt. "If Uncle Vegeta knew you were wasting his power like this, he'd probably crawl out just to strangle you!"

"Bastard, go to hell!" Provoked once more, Buu roared and lunged at Son Goten.

Son Goten glanced at him dismissively and swatted Buu into the dirt as if he were a mosquito. "Don't move around. Daddy is talking; you dare move again and see what happens."

Buu, buried in the dirt, was completely bewildered. Daddy is so scary... wait, where the hell did I get a daddy? As he thought this, Buu tried to rise to fight to the death, only to be mercilessly swatted back down by Son Goten.

"Sigh, I didn't expect you to be this stupid. It's okay, even if you're a fool, Daddy still loves you," Son Goten said with a look of "regret."

Buu felt a chill run down his spine. Ignoring his injuries, he scrambled away, eyeing Son Goten with extreme caution as if looking at a pervert. "Lies! I don't feel any love!"

"That's true, after all, fatherly love is silent," Son Goten said, stepping on Buu and pinning him into the ground. "How is it? Is it heavy?"

The pressure, like a thousand-pound weight, pinned Buu down, making it impossible for him to rise. "So heavy..."

"It's heavy because fatherly love is like a mountain," Son Goten said, once again saying something so infuriating it could kill.

"Pfft~"

Buu's face flushed red; he was on the verge of passing out from pure rage.
