Grand Supreme Kai

Cell looked at Vegeta warily and gave a cold chuckle. "It's all thanks to the 'care' you and Trunks have shown me over the years. Otherwise, my strength wouldn't have grown so quickly!"

"Oh? From the sound of it, you think you can contend with me now. Then let's put that to the test, Cell!" Vegeta said, clenching his fists.

Cell curled his lips into a smile. Though wariness still lingered in his eyes, a burning eagerness was hidden deep within them.

"Vegeta, during all those years I trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, I imagined a scene like this every single day. At last, I can measure myself against you!" Cell said with a laugh.

Vegeta sneered. "Cell, I'll show you with absolute power that you're still nothing more than a clown!"

Haaah!!

With a roar, Vegeta immediately transformed into Super Saiyan God - Blue, then instantly deployed the Meta Field!

Watching Vegeta and Cell vanish, Son Goku felt somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to watch the fight.

Whoosh!

At that moment, East Supreme Kai teleported over with Kibito.

"Oh! Isn't this Supreme Kai? Why are you here?" Son Goku asked in confusion.

East Supreme Kai stared intently at Son Goku and said excitedly, "Mr. Goku, you really defeated Majin Buu! Thank you so much!"

"But Mr. Goku, why didn't you kill Majin Buu? That fellow is extremely dangerous. It would be better to deal with him as soon as possible," East Supreme Kai urged.

At that—

Son Goku scratched his head, puzzled. "Supreme Kai, after fighting Majin Buu, I came to understand that Buu isn't evil. On the contrary, his mind is especially pure. He probably isn't a bad person."

"That's only on the surface! You say that only because you've never seen Majin Buu's truly cruel side!" East Supreme Kai could not help recalling the past, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Hehe~ It seems Buu left quite a deep shadow in your heart, Supreme Kai," Li Wei said with a soft laugh as he appeared beside them at some unknown point.

Son Goku and the others froze, then turned to look. Li Wei was holding the unconscious Dabura by the hand and watching them with interest, while Ikaros stood pressed close to Li Wei's side, hugging the watermelon sphere he had made for her.

"It's you!"

East Supreme Kai and Kibito were both surprised upon seeing him. But when they noticed Dabura dangling from Li Wei's hand, their eyes widened even further in shock.

"Huh? Li Wei, do you know Supreme Kai and the others?" Son Goku asked curiously.

"You could say we've met before." Li Wei nodded lightly, casually tossed Dabura back into the Demon Realm, and looked playfully at the master and servant pair of East Supreme Kai.

Seeing this, East Supreme Kai asked in confusion, "Mr. Li Wei, where did you throw Dabura?"

"Of course, I sent him back home. Dabura is the king of the Demon Realm, after all. Killing him would cause unrest there, and it wouldn't be good if that affected this world," Li Wei explained.

East Supreme Kai nodded in understanding, approving of Li Wei's actions.

"Mr. Li Wei, Dabura's matter isn't important. The most important thing now is dealing with Majin Buu. Such a dangerous fellow should be eliminated immediately!" East Supreme Kai proposed urgently.

"Supreme Kai, I know what you're afraid of. I also know it would be difficult to erase your fear of Majin Buu with mere words, so I won't waste my breath."

Li Wei slowly walked over to Majin Buu and smiled. "This fellow is pretty cute. I've decided to raise him. But to keep you from bothering us, I'll do a good deed."

Li Wei raised a hand toward Majin Buu. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he softly said, "Separate!"

Bzzzt~

The next moment—

Light shone from Majin Buu's body, and then his body split into three, becoming Fat Buu, Skinny Buu, and the Grand Supreme Kai.

"Th-That... that's... Grand Supreme Kai!!" Seeing the Grand Supreme Kai separated from within Majin Buu, tears immediately welled up in East Supreme Kai's eyes.

"My apologies. The other Supreme Kai he swallowed has already been completely digested. Only this fat Supreme Kai remained, but I think that's enough," Li Wei said.

The Grand Supreme Kai groggily opened his eyes, then staggered as he pushed himself upright.

At the sight—

East Supreme Kai and Kibito immediately rushed over to the Grand Supreme Kai in alarm.

"Grand Supreme Kai, are you all right?" East Supreme Kai asked anxiously.

Looking at the familiar young man before him, the Grand Supreme Kai revealed an honest, warm smile. "Shin, it's been a long time. You've worked hard all these years."

"Grand Supreme Kai!" East Supreme Kai looked at him excitedly, his voice choking up. "It's wonderful that you've come back to life!"

The Grand Supreme Kai rubbed East Supreme Kai's head. After soothing the little fellow's emotions, he rose and came before Li Wei, bowing deeply. "Inside Buu's body, I saw everything that happened. Thank you for saving me and resolving the threat of Majin Buu."

Li Wei shook his head. "It was merely a small effort. Besides... this universe truly needs a qualified Supreme Kai. That Supreme Kai behind you, who was forced into the position... well, he's rather lacking."

"You mortal, how rude! How dare you speak of Supreme Kai like that!" Kibito said angrily.

"Kibito, be quiet!" East Supreme Kai was startled. No matter how slow he was, he should have realized by now that Li Wei was no ordinary person. It would be better to show some humility before such an unfathomable powerhouse.

The Grand Supreme Kai smiled helplessly. "Please forgive Kibito's rudeness, sir. He merely wishes to defend his master."

"I'm not that petty," Li Wei said. "You can take that Skinny Buu away, though. He is the incarnation of all Majin Buu's evil thoughts. Without his influence, Buu is an absolutely kind creature."

"That Evil Buu possesses only a fraction of Majin Buu's strength. I believe that with your power, Grand Supreme Kai, you can seal him away or kill him. I'll leave him to you."

The Grand Supreme Kai glanced at the two Buus, fat and thin, and nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your contribution to this universe. We Supreme Kais owe you a favor."

Afterward, the Grand Supreme Kai hoisted Skinny Buu over his shoulder and returned to the Sacred World of the Kais with East Supreme Kai and Kibito.

Sacred World of the Kais.

"Grand Supreme Kai, is it really all right not to deal with that Fat Buu?" East Supreme Kai asked worriedly.

The Grand Supreme Kai smiled. "That Fat Buu is exactly as that gentleman said: a purely kind individual. And with that gentleman watching over him, nothing will happen. Shin, put your mind at ease."

"Now, the only thing we need to do is deal with this Evil Buu. Leaving such a fellow alive will always be a disaster. It would be better to send him on to reincarnation," the Grand Supreme Kai decided.
