Gohan ignored Kakarot; he only wanted Kakarot to teach Gotenks the fusion, as holding out for half an hour would be enough.
He waited for that half hour to pass so his potential could be fully unleashed.
In this final gap of time, he used his 100% Kaio-ken draw and obtained a new ability.
"Draw complete. Obtained Summoning Technique: Tailed Beast Summoning!"
Hm? Tailed Beast Summoning? In the Dragon Ball world, summoning a Tailed Beast—isn't that just asking to be killed in one hit?
However, if he could summon the Ten-Tails, it might actually be a force to be reckoned with.
He planned to train it when the time came; if his Summoning Technique reached 100%, he might just be able to summon the Ten-Tails.
That would be truly awesome!
Right now, every second of that half hour felt agonizingly slow, because Majin Buu, currently on Earth, had already tracked down everyone at Kami's Lookout.
With a burst of speed, it charged straight toward Kami's Lookout!
The next second, it appeared before the group at the Lookout, startling those who were already lacking in strength.
Piccolo struggled to maintain control of the situation, but he couldn't hold out for long.
Now that Majin Buu was controlled by evil, it only wanted to wipe everyone out!
There was simply no stopping it.
Even if Piccolo lured it into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, the opponent could still rely on its abilities to tear through the space-time rift!
Escaping directly from it, the enraged Majin Buu was absolutely furious.
It intended to annihilate everyone at Kami's Lookout, Videl included.
Gohan's eyes narrowed. With over 20 minutes left, he had no choice but to cast a Clone Technique.
There was no time left for Kakarot's fusion!
He could only rely on his 50% strength clone to hold the line for a while.
Kakarot, as he was now, was truly spent.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
With 50% of his combat power, this clone was also capable of transforming into Super Saiyan 3. The moment it emerged, it was just like his own self.
With a shudder of its entire body, it transformed directly into Super Saiyan 3!
Without a second thought, Gohan commanded: "Go to Earth and hold them off for 20 minutes!"
Gohan's clone tensed its body, raised a hand, and used Instant Transmission to fly to Earth.
This left Kakarot, standing to the side, looking on with a surprised expression and boundless curiosity: "Gohan, what kind of ability is this? Wow, that's amazing."
"You can clone yourself and even transform into Super Saiyan 3? I've really never seen a technique like this. If you had used this last time, you might have beaten me long ago!"
With only 50% of his combat power, this kind of clone wasn't actually very useful. Even if it could transform into Super Saiyan 3, it was a pity that its combat power was too low.
Besides, it would shatter at the slightest touch!
It was completely ineffective; for now, it could only serve to stall for time!
After all, he still needed 20 minutes to complete his 100% potential release!
"Enough! All of you, die here!"
The second-stage Majin Buu had a very volatile temper and didn't want to wait any longer. It glared at them with cold eyes.
Sweeping its gaze over the group, its eyes landed on Videl. It raised a hand and, without a second thought, struck at her.
The next second, Android 18 rushed forward. To everyone's surprise, Android 18 stepped up, charging directly in front of Majin Buu.
She raised a leg and kicked Majin Buu in the head!
Unfortunately, Majin Buu didn't even flinch. It grabbed Android 18's leg and tossed her away.
It raised its hand and fired an Energy Cannon, intending to kill Android 18 instantly.
"Android 18!"
Videl's face turned pale. She wanted to rush forward, but Piccolo held her back. Now, no one could save Android 18.
Just as it seemed Android 18 was about to be destroyed!
Who would have thought that a figure would appear via Instant Transmission, blocking the path in front of Android 18? He raised a hand and swatted the incoming Energy Cannon away.
BOOM!
The Energy Cannon exploded in the distance. The sight of that figure caused everyone's expressions to shift, and they all looked over with excitement.
They were overjoyed: "Gohan!"
"It's really Son Gohan! You really came!"
Unfortunately, the person standing before them wasn't Gohan at all; the energy signature was completely different. Piccolo and Videl frowned.
It was clear to them that this was merely Gohan's clone.
Gohan's clone appeared, gazing calmly at Majin Buu in the distance, which only made Majin Buu sneer incessantly.
Gritting his teeth, he looked over: "So, someone has finally come out who can actually fight me."
"However, your energy is strange. You aren't human at all, just a phantom. Where is the person behind you?"
The Gohan clone, possessing a strong fighting spirit, stared back coldly, instantly transforming into a Super Saiyan 3 and initiating the Kaio-ken.
He charged straight forward!
Even with only 50% of his combat power, his strength was formidable.
At the very least, he was significantly more powerful than Piccolo and the others combined!
As he flew over and delivered a kick, Majin Buu barely had time to react. The blow landed, sending his entire body flying backward.
Seizing the opportunity, the Gohan clone engaged Majin Buu directly.
The onlookers' expressions shifted, completely stunned that even Gohan's clone was this powerful!
"I never expected Gohan to use a clone, but this clone is truly incredible."
"Exactly. I just wonder where Gohan is right now. Android 18, are you alright?"
Videl stepped forward to help Android 18 up; she was very grateful that Android 18 had saved her just moments ago.
She realized now that Android 18 was actually quite wonderful, despite her cold exterior!
Her heart was truly kind, and Videl's favorability toward Android 18 increased immensely.
Android 18 looked up, focusing on the front. The Gohan clone's power was terrifying; with the Super Saiyan 3 transformation and the Kaio-ken, he was actually suppressing Majin Buu.
He forced Majin Buu to retreat continuously.
Unable to parry, Majin Buu was sent flying again. In that instant, the Gohan clone raised both hands and unleashed a Kamehameha.
It pierced straight through him!
BOOM!
A massive hole appeared in Majin Buu's body. Seeing this, the group's eyes lit up with joy.
"Great! Gohan's clone is amazing!"
Piccolo's expression darkened. Knowing Majin Buu's true strength, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that simple. This guy is immortal!"
Majin Buu's physical composition was different; even with a hole blown through his stomach, it healed in less than ten seconds.
Completely unfazed, he shook his head and said with a relaxed expression, "That was just a warm-up. You're dead!"
With a savage grin, he moved his entire body. This time, Majin Buu unleashed his full power, stretching his arms out to smash them toward the Gohan clone.
But the force of the blow was astonishing, far beyond what the Gohan clone could withstand. It struck him, sending him flying instantly.
He was knocked away, crashing heavily into Kami's Lookout!
The entire Kami's Lookout shuddered, and a corner of the structure, spanning several hundred square meters, was destroyed in an instant.
The group's faces were filled with shock; they finally understood the true extent of Majin Buu's power.
