Method

"Very well!"

Kast did not refuse, agreeing to her request.

"Then it is settled. If you still wish to follow me after a year, you can come and find me then."

Having said that, Kast waved his hand, bypassed Laila, and prepared to fly off toward the Beyond the Heavens.

"Wait!"

However, Laila called out to stop him once more.

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

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

Watching Kast turn around, Laila asked hurriedly.

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

Kast shook his head, chuckled at Laila's words, and said softly.

"You should already know the answer to that yourself. Remember what you told me earlier? You said you were a Supreme Kai, didn't you? Since you are a god, you must have a special way to locate someone."

"But!..."

Hearing Kast's words, Laila felt a bit conflicted. She did indeed have a method in mind, but she was unwilling and reluctant to use it.

"Judging by your expression, you know the method. Since that's the case, it's easily solved. The problem is settled, so let's meet again in a year."

With that, Kast did not hesitate this time. He turned and vanished from the spot instantly; by the time he reappeared, he was already a yellow meteor streaking into the distance.

Nearby, Laila watched Kast fly far away, bit her lip, and hesitated.

"It seems I have no choice but to go there after all."

She looked at the planet beneath her feet, her thoughts drifting far away, then her eyes turned resolute, and she vanished in an instant.

This was a massive planet, surrounded by endless celestial bodies.

The planet was teeming with life, covered in lush green vegetation.

Because it was surrounded by other planets, the world knew no night, only day. Looking up from the surface, the entire sky appeared a deep violet-blue.

Furthermore, one could see massive white planets reflected and suspended in the sky above.

On this planet, beneath a colossal tree, a young man with a short stature, purple skin, and white hair sat quietly.

In front of him lay a white cushion set with a tea service. The white-haired man held a teacup, slowly bringing it to his lips to savor the tea.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

"I have returned, Supreme Kai."

As the voice faded, the newcomer revealed his appearance.

He was a man of advanced age, tall and imposing, with long silver hair, red skin, pointed ears, and a face lined with wrinkles.

The young man sipping tea—the Supreme Kai—set down his cup upon hearing this and turned to look at him.

"How is it, Kibito? Is the seal showing any signs of loosening?"

The red-skinned man, Kibito, approached the Supreme Kai with his hands behind his back and replied.

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

Hearing this, the Supreme Kai stood up and walked forward, saying.

"Very good. You must keep a constant watch on that side, Kibito. The threat of Majin Buu is simply too great. Until we find a way to destroy him completely, we must avoid provoking the seal at all costs."

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

"Yes, Supreme Kai."

Kibito then added with a hint of doubt.

"But then again, the seal on Majin Buu can only be undone by Bibidi himself, can it not? Since you have already killed Bibidi, Supreme Kai, surely there is no one left who can break the seal. Why must we keep such a close watch on him?"

"No."

The Supreme Kai shook his head, his expression solemn.

"Do not harbor such wishful thinking, Kibito. The terror of Majin Buu far exceeds your imagination. You have never encountered him, so you do not understand the situation as it was! But we must never let our guard down. In any case, you must keep a constant watch on the seal and never slacken."

"Yes."

As the two conversed and strolled along, they soon arrived at a vast plain.

The Supreme Kai gazed into the distance across the plain, just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a familiar energy signature drifted in from afar.

"Who goes there!?"

Sensing this energy, Kibito was startled and turned his head in a panic.

"This energy! How is this possible!!?"

Compared to Kibito's look of astonishment, the Supreme Kai's eyes held an expression of utter disbelief.

"Hm? What is it, Lord Supreme Kai?!"

Seeing the expression on the Supreme Kai's face, Kibito could not help but ask with concern.

"Quick, Kibito, take me to where that energy is! Use Instant Transmission, hurry!"

The Supreme Kai did not answer Kibito's question, instead speaking with an urgent, hurried tone.

"Ah!? Right away!"

Having never seen the Supreme Kai in such a state, Kibito responded in a flustered panic.

Immediately, Kibito reached out and placed his hand on the Supreme Kai's shoulder, and in an instant, they vanished from the spot.
