"Magic?!" Son Gohan's eyes widened as he asked in surprise, "Did that bastard do it?"
Elsewhere.
Piccolo, who was chasing Spopovich, suddenly sneezed!
Kibito looked at Videl, who was waving her arms about, and a glint flashed in his eyes. The "silencing" magic Piccolo had cast on Videl was dispelled.
When Videl realized she could speak again, she immediately jumped up in excitement!
"Now isn't the time to celebrate. We need to catch up to Supreme Kai as quickly as possible."
As Kibito spoke, his body slowly rose into the air...
"Would you like to come with us?" Kibito asked.
Son Gohan nodded. "Yes, of course!"
"Videl, stay here. I'll be back soon," Son Gohan said.
Videl glared at Son Gohan unhappily. "Don't even think about leaving me behind. I'm coming too!"
Son Gohan looked troubled and glanced up at Kibito. Kibito remained expressionless, neither agreeing nor objecting.
"Fine, but you have to stay close to me, and you're not allowed to act on your own!" Son Gohan warned.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Videl said.
"Move quickly, or we won't be able to catch up to Supreme Kai," Kibito urged.
"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting. Videl, let's go." With that, Son Gohan took Videl's hand and flew into the sky!
Son Goku and the others sped through the air and soon caught up with Piccolo, who had gone on ahead.
"Supreme Kai!" Piccolo called respectfully to Shin.
Shin smiled and nodded.
Everyone controlled their speed as they stayed close behind Spopovich and the other man.
Along the way.
Son Goku curiously turned to Shin and asked, "Supreme Kai, can you tell us about those two people up ahead now?"
At his words.
The others also turned their curious gazes toward Shin.
Shin explained calmly, "Simply put, the one controlling those two wants to revive a terrifying monster. That monster has no reason and no emotions. It will instinctively destroy everything and kill every living being."
"A very, very long time ago, before that monster was sealed away, it destroyed many planets and slaughtered countless living beings."
Everyone's eyes widened in horror.
But Son Goku was eager to give it a try. "Supreme Kai, is that monster strong?"
Shin said calmly, "Compared to you mortals, it is indeed very strong. Among the mortals still alive at present, there should be no one capable of defeating that monster."
Vegeta clicked his tongue, unconvinced.
Hearing Supreme Kai's assessment, Son Goku was not frightened at all. Instead, he grew even more excited and hurriedly asked, "Then... what is that monster called?"
Shin said calmly, "Majin Buu!"
"Buu? That kind of sounds like a fart." Son Goku laughed loudly.
Everyone was speechless. Was this really the time for bad jokes?
"Then... Supreme Kai, is our goal now to stop that Buu from reviving?" Son Goku asked.
"That would be my recommendation, because among the mortals alive at present, no one is a match for Buu," Shin said.
Piccolo noticed that Shin had repeatedly mentioned "living mortals." The meaning was easy enough to understand literally, but why did Supreme Kai keep emphasizing it?
Piccolo asked nervously, "Supreme Kai, you keep saying that among the 'living mortals,' no one can defeat Majin Buu. Then... what about Old Son?"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes and turned to look over.
Everyone's eyes focused on Shin.
Shin smiled faintly. "As expected of Earth's former Kami. You're very perceptive. That's right, when I said the 'living mortals' at present, I wasn't including Mr. Son Goku."
Piccolo looked pleasantly surprised. "Then do you mean... Old Son can defeat Majin Buu?"
Vegeta clenched his teeth, his expression turning ugly!
Shin smiled. "Speaking purely in terms of power, Mr. Son Goku's power does indeed surpass Buu's."
Vegeta finally could not hold it in any longer and shouted, "Are you saying... Kakarot's power is far above mine?!"
Shin ignored Vegeta's anger and commented calmly, "At least in terms of power level, Mr. Vegeta, you are far inferior to Mr. Goku at present."
"What did you say?!" Vegeta's aura suddenly surged, the veins on his forehead bulging as he visibly flew into a rage!
"Vegeta, calm down!" Son Goku urged repeatedly, cold sweat running down his face. At the same time, he was shocked inwardly. The Supreme Kai before him had seen through his strength at a glance.
Shin turned to Son Goku. "Mr. Goku, although your power exceeds Buu's, power is not Buu's most troublesome trait."
"Buu's most troublesome trait is actually his nearly immortal vitality!"
"No matter what injuries he suffers, even if he is smashed to pieces, it will have no effect on Buu at all. Compared to a human, such injuries probably would not even count as scrapes."
"What?!"
Shin's words shocked everyone once again. There was actually such a monster in the world!
A sharp light flashed in Son Goku's eyes. Clearly, he had not been intimidated. Instead, he looked forward even more to fighting Majin Buu!
Shin gazed at Son Goku and reminded him, "Mr. Goku, if you go all out, you may be able to defeat Majin Buu. But don't forget, you are already dead. Do not interfere too deeply in the affairs of the living."
"If there were someone among the living mortals at present capable of defeating Buu, then I would not have interfered in this matter. But without anyone to stop him, Buu might even destroy the universe."
At his words.
Vegeta's gaze flickered as he questioned, "Are you saying you have the ability to stop Majin Buu?"
Shin smiled faintly. "It may sound like boasting, but in my eyes, Majin Buu is no different from an ordinary person in yours."
Shin's words left everyone utterly shocked!
Even Son Goku was somewhat frightened.
The only one who remained relatively calm was probably Piccolo. After all, in his impression, Supreme Kai was the greatest god in the universe, so possessing such power was nothing strange.
Elsewhere.
Kibito also told Son Gohan about Majin Buu. Videl merely happened to hear it as well.
Videl said in astonishment, "There's actually such a terrifying monster in the world? You're kidding, right?"
Son Gohan's expression was grave. "If what you said is true, then we absolutely cannot let Majin Buu revive!"
"Of course. That is why Supreme Kai and I came down to the mortal world..." Kibito said.
Kibito narrowed his eyes and reminded them, "At our current speed, it will be difficult to catch up to Supreme Kai. We need to speed up!"
Son Gohan nodded. "Okay!"
As Kibito and Son Gohan increased their speed, Videl, who had already been struggling to keep up, was immediately left far behind.
Seeing this.
Son Gohan said apologetically, "Sorry, please stop for a moment!"
