Gohan swung the Z Sword; compared to his initial clumsiness, he was now able to wield it quite skillfully.
Supreme Kai Axin suddenly said, "Let's test how sharp the Z Sword is. Perhaps it is sharp enough to kill Majin Buu in a single blow."
Kibito then produced a large piece of diamond from his hand; since they were testing it, they might as well use the hardest substance in this realm.
"Gohan, slice through this diamond as if it were tofu," the Supreme Kai said confidently.
Gohan gripped the Z Sword tightly: "Come on, let me see just how sharp this Z Sword really is."
Kibito was also full of confidence in the divine sword, after all, this was the Z Sword passed down through the ages by the Supreme Kais.
Kibito tossed the diamond toward Gohan, and Gohan swung with all his might.
Clang.
The Z Sword snapped...
Kibito and the Supreme Kai's jaws nearly hit the floor: "How could it break? This is the Z Sword!"
"Young ones, you are truly ignorant. But I never expected that the one to rescue me would be a mortal; it is truly a sorrow for the Supreme Kais."
The three looked over to see an old man wearing earrings and the attire of a Supreme Kai standing before them.
Axin asked, "Who are you, why are you here, and why are you wearing the attire of a Supreme Kai?"
The old man laughed: "I am the Old Kai."
"The Old Kai?" Supreme Kai Axin and Kibito exclaimed in shock.
"Then you are my ancient ancestor. I never imagined you were sealed inside the sword."
"Sigh, the sorrow of the Supreme Kais. I thought the one to release me would be a fellow Supreme Kai, not a mortal."
Supreme Kai Axin's face flushed red: "I apologize, ancient ancestor, this disciple is incompetent."
"Enough. It seems you have encountered some trouble, to have actually brought a mortal to this Supreme Kai World."
Supreme Kai Axin recounted the situation regarding Majin Buu and explained how the monster had murdered the various Supreme Kais.
"Majin Buu... truly a terrifying monster. Such a creature did not exist in my era; it seems it was created later."
"Boy, come here." Gohan walked over slowly. The Old Kai placed his hand on Gohan's chest, and after a moment, he remarked, "This young man has astonishing potential, though it is a pity that much of it remains untapped."
"Ancient ancestor, you possess such an ability?" Axin asked, pleasantly surprised.
"Very well. You are called Gohan, yes? I shall draw out your potential, and then you should be able to defeat Majin Buu."
Gohan spoke up: "Senior, how long will it take to draw out this potential? I am somewhat worried about Earth."
"Do not worry, Earth is fine for now. I sense a powerful presence on Earth, one no weaker than Majin Buu. Earth is safe. Sit down; the potential unlocking will take twelve hours. Sit cross-legged, and leave the rest to me."
The Old Kai sat opposite Gohan, his hands glowing, and soon Gohan was enveloped in light.
Mr. Satan spent his days catering to Majin Buu. Buu would go out to kill during the day and return at night to enjoy the gourmet meals Satan prepared; life was actually quite comfortable.
One day, as Majin Buu was about to head out to kill, Satan ventured a question: "Lord Majin Buu, why must you kill the people of Earth?"
Seeing that Majin Buu remained silent, Satan was terrified and quickly changed his tune: "My Lord, do as you please. I said nothing."
Majin Buu suddenly spoke: "Satan, do you feel that killing is wrong? When I was with Babidi, he always made me kill, so I just kept doing it."
Satan suddenly felt a glimmer of hope: "Mr. Majin Buu, I do feel that killing is wrong. It would be better if we didn't kill anyone."
Majin Buu smiled: "Since Satan feels it is wrong, then I shall not kill anymore."
"I truly am the world champion; I persuaded Majin Buu without even breaking a sweat," Satan thought to himself, feeling quite pleased.
Majin Buu said he was going for a walk, and returned a while later holding a dog. "Satan, why isn't this dog afraid of me? Everyone else runs when they see me."
Satan took a look: "It's injured."
Majin Buu placed his hand on the puppy, and it was healed.
"There, you are better now. Run along, I'm going to kill you."
But the puppy, facing the savior who had just healed it, could not possibly run away. It kept licking Majin Buu, following him wherever he went.
"It seems this dog likes me just as Satan does. Let us all live together," Majin Buu said.
Majin Buu and Satan spent their days training the dog and feeding it; Majin Buu felt a happiness he had never experienced before.
However, good times do not last. Several evil humans armed with guns broke into the place where Majin Buu lived.
That day, Majin Buu was training the puppy, throwing a small disc for it to fetch. Just as the dog was about to bring it back, a gunshot rang out, and the puppy was hit.
Majin Buu's state began to shift; steam erupted from the top of his head as he glared in fury at the person who had shot the dog.
Satan immediately rushed forward and knocked the gunman down with a punch, but the man raised his weapon and shot Mr. Satan.
Majin Buu became even more unstable, steam pouring from his head. He walked over slowly, placed his hand on the puppy, and it recovered.
He then walked slowly to Satan's side, placed his hand on him, and Satan was revived.
Satan looked at himself, overjoyed: "Buu, you are truly miraculous."
But then Satan noticed that Buu's state was not quite right.
"Satan, take the dog and leave quickly!" Majin Buu roared.
As Majin Buu's good intentions stirred, the evil within his body began to writhe and restless. Seeing Satan and the puppy injured, his malice flared once more, slipping beyond his control.
Suddenly, countless plumes of smoke erupted from the top of his head. These vapors lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate, until they finally coalesced into another Majin Buu.
A Thin Majin Buu appeared—a Majin Buu of pure, unadulterated evil.
"Satan, take the puppy and run! I'll hold him off," Fat Majin Buu shouted.
Fat Majin Buu and Thin Majin Buu clashed. The terrifying energy sent Satan flying back several hundred meters, forcing him to hide behind a large rock to watch the battle unfold.
"Buu, go for it!" Satan cheered for Fat Majin Buu.
After several hundred rounds, Fat Majin Buu was clearly faltering; Evil Majin Buu had taken a massive portion of his power when he split away.
Fat Majin Buu threw a punch, but the thin one ducked low and kicked him flying with a single strike.
Fat Majin Buu tore a piece of flesh from his own body, trapped the thin one inside it, and fired a beam of light at him.
BOOM...
A terrifying explosion rocked the area, blowing the thin one into fragments.
"Yes! Buu, well done! You got him!" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the thin one reforming back into his original shape.
The two vanished from the ground in a blur, leaving only two shadows grappling in the sky, sending out ripples of terrifying energy.
After hundreds more exchanges, Fat Majin Buu's stamina and strength were clearly failing. He leaped back, and the antenna on his head began to glow: "I'll turn you into chocolate!"
A bolt of pink lightning struck toward Thin Majin Buu, but the thin one spat out a cloud of smoke, deflecting the lightning right back at Fat Majin Buu.
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
Fat Majin Buu was transformed into a piece of chocolate. Thin Majin Buu picked it up and swallowed it whole. Steam began to pour from the thin one's body, and in no time at all, he transformed into Buff Majin Buu.
His power became even more terrifying, and a massive, wicked aura radiated from Buff Majin Buu's body.
Buff Majin Buu instantly dissolved into a pile of sludge, surged into the mouth of the human who had injured Satan, and detonated.
Majin Buu reformed in the sky and charged toward Satan. Just as he was about to strike, Majin Buu clutched his head in pain and finally flew away from the scene.
Satan held the puppy, staring blankly at the departing Majin Buu: "Buu still remembers me."
