Super Saiyan 3 Transformation?

He truly could not fathom whether Kakarot was being controlled or not.

This cheap father of his had even sent him a gift before heading off to Hell!

Perhaps this was all part of Kakarot's calculations!

All of it was meant to temper and improve him!

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it; he still needed to check on Videl.

He only had half a Senzu Bean left in his pocket, so he had to use it sparingly!

Moreover, Majin Buu had already been resurrected, and he could sense the monster's overwhelming aura.

Gohan gazed into the distance, where not far away, Vegeta's aura suddenly surged.

Clearly going all out, Vegeta had chosen to detonate himself, intending to perish alongside Majin Buu!

This time, Majin Buu would likely be completely unscathed, while Vegeta had surely already departed for Hell.

And Majin Buu's aura had vanished in an instant!

It was difficult for him to track it now, so after a moment's thought, he decided against confronting Majin Buu.

After all, he had only just grasped Super Saiyan 3 and needed to train further to strengthen the form!

Besides, he still had the lottery draw from the 100% Kaio-ken to use; he would wait until he had bolstered his strength.

It would be much more interesting to go and toy with Majin Buu then!

"Forget it, let that guy be smug for a while. Even if everyone on Earth dies, we can just use the Dragon Balls to revive them."

"Let's see where Videl is first; I hope nothing has happened to her!"

Even if everyone on Earth perished, he did not want anything to happen to Videl, who was so close to him!

He began searching for Videl's aura. Upon locating her, his eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, he prepared to use Instant Transmission.

He teleported to Videl's side in an instant.

But before he could make a move, he sensed another aura—wasn't that the East Supreme Kai's?

The East Supreme Kai wasn't dead?

In that case, he could go find the East Supreme Kai and meet the Old Supreme Kai to give himself another boost!

His goal right now wasn't Majin Buu, but to surpass Son Goku!

His eyes brightened, and he immediately abandoned the idea of visiting Videl, as she was safe at Kami's Lookout for the time being.

He had to improve himself as quickly as possible to properly protect Videl!

At Kami's Lookout.

The resurrection of Majin Buu and his terrifying aura had shocked everyone, especially after Dende reported Vegeta's death.

The group looked at one another, never having imagined that even Vegeta could not stop that Majin Buu.

"Vegeta, boo-hoo!"

Bulma couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yamcha, Krillin, and the others nearby also wore grim expressions.

Videl, however, stepped forward. She didn't care about Vegeta; she was only concerned about Gohan, and she spoke without hesitation.

"Gohan, how is Gohan doing now?"

Dende checked for Gohan's aura, but he couldn't track it at all. He shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know where Gohan is; I've lost his aura."

Videl couldn't help but cry as well. Android 18 stepped forward and patted Videl on the shoulder.

Videl threw herself into Android 18's arms, sobbing against her.

At this moment, Android 18 patted her back quite gently, her expression complex.

Watching from not far away, Yamcha and the others looked on with strange expressions, and Yamcha spoke to Krillin.

"Krillin, don't you think the relationship between Android 18 and Gohan is a bit special?"

Krillin, completely unaware that he was being cuckolded, shook his head. For the past few weeks, Android 18 had been helping Gohan train.

She hadn't sought him out at all, and Krillin truly couldn't fathom what was on her mind.

How could he know that Android 18 spent every day training with Gohan and visiting his home?

Android 18's feelings for Videl were even stronger than Krillin's.

In the forest.

Gohan's sudden appearance made the East Supreme Kai's eyes light up. Seeing Gohan, he looked overjoyed.

He became excited at once.

"Gohan, you—you've come! That's wonderful. Are you alright?"

"By the way, where is Son Goku? How is Mr. Son Goku doing?"

Gohan shrugged and said, "Father exhausted all his strength and returned to Hell. By now, Majin Buu should have already been resurrected."

"Supreme Kai, you must understand the situation you are in!"

How could East Supreme Kai not know? Now that Majin Buu had been resurrected, there was no one left to stop him.

His face turned ghastly, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. "Damn it... in the end, I still couldn't stop Majin Buu's resurrection. And, and..."

"Mr. Vegeta gave his life, yet he still couldn't finish off Majin Buu!"

Vegeta's sacrifice had been inevitable; Gohan didn't feel much sentimentality and couldn't help but speak up.

"East Supreme Kai, I am the only one who can defeat Majin Buu now. However, I need to strengthen myself further. You should know of a way to help me improve, right?"

East Supreme Kai glanced at Gohan, and as something clicked, his eyes lit up.

"I remember now! On the Supreme Kai Planet, there is a legendary Z Sword passed down through the ages. That Z Sword is incredibly powerful."

"Perhaps it can be used to defeat Majin Buu!"

Gohan really wanted to tell this guy that it wasn't a "Z Sword" at all.

That thing was what had sealed away Old Supreme Kai!

As for why Old Supreme Kai was sealed, Gohan, being a transmigrator, had already guessed that it definitely had something to do with a God of Destruction.

The lives of a God of Destruction and a Supreme Kai are linked; to prevent the Supreme Kai from being killed, he had been sealed away.

That God of Destruction, Beerus, was certainly capable of such a thing.

Watching East Supreme Kai stand there in complete ignorance, Gohan shook his head, offering a silent moment of mourning for the Supreme Kai's naivety.

But right now, he truly needed Old Supreme Kai's help to improve himself.

Since the process would take time, he didn't want to delay any longer.

"Where is the Supreme Kai Planet? Take me there now!"

East Supreme Kai nodded, knowing that the final hope rested with Gohan; only Gohan was the strongest among them.

Without a moment's hesitation, he grabbed Gohan and performed an Instant Transmission.

He brought Gohan directly back to the Supreme Kai Planet!

Gohan's sudden appearance startled his attendant, who was just about to scold Gohan for being a mere mortal and daring to come to the Supreme Kai Planet.

Gohan had no interest in wasting words. "Where is the Z Sword?"

East Supreme Kai immediately pointed to a spot not far away.

"That's it, Gohan. If you take the Z Sword and get used to it, it should help you deal with Majin Buu!"

Gohan didn't want to explain anything; he looked at the Z Sword embedded in the stone.

He walked straight up, raised a hand, gripped the hilt, and gathered his strength.

"100x Kaio-ken!"

BOOM!

Transformed, he pulled the Z Sword out in one go, leaving East Supreme Kai's attendant, Kibito, standing there with his mouth agape, completely stunned.

East Supreme Kai, however, was beaming with joy.

"That's wonderful, Gohan! I knew you would be able to pull out the Z Sword. With it, our hopes are much greater."

Watching the man dance with excitement, Gohan shook his head. He raised the Z Sword in his hand, and without a second thought, he acted.

He channeled energy into his hand and brought it down in a strike against the Z Sword.

CLANG!

With a loud ring, the Z Sword suddenly split in two, sliced clean through by Gohan's single hand.

East Supreme Kai froze, his mouth hanging open in total shock; he was completely dumbfounded.

"Gohan, Gohan, you—what are you doing? You—you destroyed our Z Sword?"

Gohan waved his hand, tossed the sword aside, and said calmly, "Old Supreme Kai, I have business with you."

East Supreme Kai didn't understand what Gohan was talking about. Why was he speaking to the air?

Just then, a figure appeared nearby. The sealed Old Supreme Kai emerged, looking aged and frail.

Between his appearance and the unique robes of a Supreme Kai, East Supreme Kai was left speechless.

After a long while, he finally realized this was their ancestor, the first generation of Supreme Kai.

But how was it possible? He had been sealed inside the Z Sword all this time, and no one had ever known.

Yet, how on earth did Gohan know?

He truly could not fathom it!

The Old Supreme Kai appeared in a flash and let out a yawn; having been sealed away for tens of thousands of years, he had finally awakened.

His gaze fell upon Gohan, and with a sluggish demeanor, he finally opened his mouth to speak: "Oh, young man, how did you know I was inside the Z Sword?"

"What business do you have with me? After 10,000 long years, to have the chance to come out again—I really must thank you for that!"

Gohan did not want to waste any more time and spoke immediately: "I want to increase my potential. Help me unlock it."

"And make it quick."

The Old Supreme Kai remained as slow-moving as ever: "Haha, young man, don't be so impatient. As a reward for saving me..."

"I can help you unlock your potential, but what's in it for me?"

The guy looked at him with a mischievous grin, clearly fishing for a benefit.

Knowing the Old Supreme Kai's personality, Gohan sneered, stepped forward, leaned directly into his ear, and whispered.

"Tell me, how do you think Beerus will react when he finds out your seal has been broken?"

"Oh, and by the way, we have another sealing item here on Earth—a Rice Cooker. It should be a bit more comfortable than the Z Sword!"

The Old Supreme Kai shuddered all over, immediately let out a nervous laugh, and gave Gohan a deep, meaningful look.

He could only concede: "I certainly don't want to be sealed away again. I never expected you to know the name of Beerus."

"Fine, I'll help you boost your power, and I'll get it done as quickly as possible!"

This old geezer really wouldn't do a thing unless he was threatened!

Bringing up Beerus's name had proven to be incredibly effective.

The Old Supreme Kai immediately instructed Gohan to sit before him, and this time, shedding all his laziness, he raised his hands.

He began to help Gohan raise his ki and draw out his latent potential!

However, even at the fastest pace, it would still take several hours, and during this time...

Gohan kept sensing Videl's ki, ready to rush to her rescue should she ever be in danger.

As it stood, Videl was fine, and with Android 18 by her side, there was even less to worry about!

He waited patiently for the Old Supreme Kai to fully unleash his potential.

Only then would he be able to grasp the true power of Ultimate Gohan in his base form!
