"Okay!"

Kast didn't refuse and agreed to her request.

"Then it's settled. If you still want to stay by my side a year from now, come find me then."

With that, Kast waved goodbye, stepped around Laila, and was about to fly Beyond the Heavens.

"Wait!"

But just then, Laila called out to stop him again.

"Hmm? What is it? Is there something else?"

Hearing her, Kast turned his head with a hint of confusion and asked.

Looking at Kast as he turned back, Laila hurriedly asked,

"It's just... how am I supposed to find you a year from now?"

Kast shook his head. Hearing Laila's question, he smiled slightly and said softly,

"You should be asking yourself that. Do you remember what you told me earlier? You said you were a Supreme Kai, right? Since you're a god, you should have a special way of finding someone."

"But...!"

Hearing Kast's words, Laila looked conflicted. She did have a way in mind, but deep down, she was unwilling to use it.

"Judging by your expression, you know what to do. In that case, this should be easy. The problem's solved, so I'll see you in a year."

This time, Kast didn't hesitate. He turned around and vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already a yellow streak of light, flying off into the distance.

Nearby, Laila watched Kast fly away. She bit her lip lightly, hesitating.

"Looks like I'll have to go there after all."

She glanced at the planet beneath her feet, her thoughts drifting far away. Then her gaze hardened, and she vanished in an instant.

It was a massive planet, surrounded by countless other planets.

The planet teemed with life, its land covered in green grass and vegetation.

With planets surrounding it, the world had no night, only day. From its surface, the entire sky appeared a purplish blue.

Huge white planets could also be seen reflected across the sky.

At that moment, beneath a gigantic tree on the planet, a short young man with purple skin and white hair sat in the shade.

Before him lay a white cushion, on which a tea set had been arranged. The white-haired man held a teacup in his hands, slowly bringing it to his lips as he quietly savored the tea.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I'm back, Supreme Kai."

As the voice fell, the newcomer's appearance gradually came into view.

He was an older man, relatively speaking, tall and with long silver hair. His skin was red, his ears pointed, and wrinkles creased his face.

The young man who had been sipping tea—the Supreme Kai—set down his teacup upon hearing him and turned to look at him.

"How did it go, Kibito? Has the seal weakened?"

Kibito, the red-skinned man, walked over to the Supreme Kai with his hands behind his back and replied,

"No, Supreme Kai. The seal is perfectly fine."

Hearing this, the Supreme Kai stood and walked forward.

"Good. Keep a close eye on that place, Kibito. Majin Buu is far too dangerous. Until we find a way to destroy him for good, we must avoid disturbing the seal."

Hearing the Supreme Kai's words, Kibito Kai replied respectfully,

"Yes, Supreme Kai."

Then Kibito asked with a hint of curiosity,

"Come to think of it, though, wasn't Majin Buu's seal something only Bibidi himself could undo? You've already killed Bibidi, Supreme Kai. So there should be no one left who can break the seal. Why do we still need to keep such a close watch on it?"

"No."

The Supreme Kai shook his head and said gravely,

"Don't take any chances, Kibito. Majin Buu is far more terrifying than you can imagine. You've never faced him, so you don't know what happened before! But we must never let our guard down. In short, keep a constant watch on the seal and don't slack off."

"Yes."

As the two talked and walked, they soon arrived at a vast plain.

The Supreme Kai gazed into the distance across the plain, just about to say something, when suddenly a familiar presence reached them from afar.

"Who's there?!"

Sensing the presence, Kibito was startled and hurriedly turned around.

"This energy! How is this possible?!"

Unlike Kibito's shock, the Supreme Kai's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Hmm? What is it, Supreme Kai?!"

Seeing the Supreme Kai's expression, Kibito couldn't help but grow concerned.

"Quick, Kibito! Take me to where that energy is coming from. Use Instant Transmission. Hurry!"

The Supreme Kai didn't answer Kibito's question. Instead, he spoke urgently, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Huh?! All right!"

Kibito had never seen the Supreme Kai act this way before, and he hurriedly replied in alarm.

Kibito immediately reached out and placed a hand on the Supreme Kai's shoulder. In an instant, they vanished from where they stood.
