Goku's Perfect Fit

After Majin Buu returned to the main timeline, Wukong's severed arm had already been perfectly matched with the mechanical arm Vegeta had brought back. None of the mechanical arm's circuits conflicted with the blood vessels in Wukong's arm. From the outside, Wukong looked exactly the same as before—he had just gained several extra functions.

"Wukong, how's your arm?"

"Thank you, Majin Buu. If you hadn't treated me in time, I'd be crippled right now."

Majin Buu smiled. Just then, Vegeta came out.

"Kakarot, does your hand feel uncomfortable at all?"

Who would have thought the ever-proud Vegeta would say something like that?

"No, Vegeta. Right now, I only feel like this hand is even easier to use than my old one."

Vegeta looked at Sun Wukong in front of him and spoke again.

"Does that arm of yours have any new functions? Don't tell me it's as simple as just helping you reattach it."

"It does."

After saying that one word, Wukong pulled off his own hand. Vegeta was startled at first; after all, they had finally helped Wukong attach it, so why was he snapping his hand off again? But very quickly, Vegeta dismissed that thought.

Because what appeared before him was one of Cell's tails, presented in an extremely thin state. As it emerged, it slowly grew thicker and longer, and the spike at the tip of the tail became more and more distinct.

"This is the devouring function when the hand is removed. Now I'll attach the hand again, and you can take another look."

Wukong reattached the hand he had removed. A round disk suddenly emerged from the previously empty palm. The disk was concave, like a place used to gather energy.

"Vegeta, fire a few light waves at me."

Vegeta froze for a moment, then jumped six or seven steps away from Wukong and frantically fired Prince Tactics. But the instant those light waves touched Wukong's palm, they suddenly dissipated. Rather than saying they dissipated, it would be more accurate to say Wukong absorbed them.

All of Vegeta's beams turned into energy after Wukong converted them. Wukong could also strengthen that energy further on top of its original basis and release an even stronger Prince Tactics. By the same logic, he could absorb that energy and turn it into his own.

"This!"

Vegeta was greatly shocked, then joked, "If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have helped Kakarot attach such a powerful physical cheat."

Wukong smiled and scratched his head. In truth, there was still one function he had not demonstrated: the instant he touched an opponent, he could use his will to absorb the other party's energy. He could gather it inside his own body, or gather it in this arm. Dr. Gero had used this very move to absorb Vegeta's energy, which was why Cell in their timeline had become so strong.

"All right, Vegeta. I still have to thank you."

Vegeta haughtily lifted his head. If he had known this thing was such a treasure, he would have had Dr. Gero make a few more of them, so they could be kept on hand for emergencies.

At this time, Majin Buu was still standing there watching the two of them, as if he was waiting for them to finish chatting.

"Mr. Majin Buu, do you still have something you haven't said?"

Wukong called out to Majin Buu, because Wukong could also sense that this guy Majin Buu was simple and honest. If there was nothing going on, he definitely would not just stand in place and wait. But now, after being taught by Satan, he was quite well-mannered and knew to wait until Wukong and Vegeta finished discussing proper business before speaking.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you that in the timeline Vegeta went to, Wukong was the only living person left. Because when Vegeta went there, Dr. Gero absorbed his energy and created an even more powerful Cell..."

"What!?"

Before Majin Buu could even finish, Vegeta interrupted him. At this moment, obvious shock appeared on Vegeta's face, because he knew that if all of his energy had been absorbed, that timeline would definitely have been destroyed by Cell.

"What happened after that!?"

Vegeta was already prepared to go back again and eliminate Cell, but Majin Buu grabbed his hand. Majin Buu said, "Don't worry. Cell has already been destroyed by me until not even dregs were left. He won't revive again. I won't stop you from traveling through time and space. After all, time-space travel is something I advocated myself. Next time, you must be a little more careful!"

Vegeta finally calmed down. Wukong also knew that it had been because of his own momentary carelessness that the God of Destruction Gaia had succeeded in cutting off his arm, but it could still be considered a blessing in disguise.

Majin Buu also took off the Time-Space Ring on his hand and returned it to Wukong. He made a smiling expression, then flew back to find Satan.

After Wukong and Vegeta chatted for a few more lines, they also returned to their own homes, as if waiting for a new enemy to descend.
