Son Goku: What Do You Take Life For?!

"That's why I kept emphasizing that only Mr. Goku could handle Majin Buu. Even if you and Vegeta joined forces, you still wouldn't be Majin Buu's match. Even Majin Buu in his current state, far from his peak, would be the same." Shin spoke calmly.

"What an incredible demon... There's actually such a terrifying monster in this world!" Son Gohan clenched his fists nervously, his heart filled with shock.

High in the sky.

Just as Shin had said, Son Goku and Vegeta, who had been suppressing Fat Buu all along, were immediately overwhelmed once Fat Buu got tired of playing!

"Damn it! This guy had been playing with us the whole time!" Feeling the pressure multiply, Vegeta gritted his teeth.

"Vegeta, watch out!" Son Goku shouted.

"What?!"

Vegeta was startled. Then he saw Fat Buu appear before him. Just as Vegeta thought Fat Buu was about to attack, Fat Buu pulled his mouth wide open, stuck out his tongue at Vegeta, and made a face!

Vegeta jumped, then flew into a rage. This guy... was humiliating him!

"Bastard!"

Vegeta threw a punch. Fat Buu swiftly dodged, then suddenly lashed out with a kick!

Bang!!

Vegeta cried out as his lower back took a heavy blow. His entire body arched backward before he plummeted toward the ground!

"Vegeta!" Son Goku cried out. His expression turned grave as he stared at Fat Buu and charged in to attack!

Fat Buu and Son Goku became locked in combat, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time!

"Damn it!!"

Vegeta struggled up from the ground and looked toward the two battling figures in the sky. Golden aura suddenly erupted around him, and he shot skyward once more!

"Majin Buu, die!!" Vegeta roared as he charged over!

Fat Buu turned to look at him, stuck out his tongue, and made no move to dodge. Yet the flesh around the middle of his belly suddenly spread outward...

"What?!"

Vegeta was startled as his entire body passed through the hole that had split open in Fat Buu's stomach!

A fierce gleam flashed through Fat Buu's eyes. He clasped his hands together, raised them high, and smashed them down onto the back of Vegeta's neck!

Bang!

"Gah!!"

Vegeta screamed. His eyes rolled white, and even the golden aura around his body was scattered by that blow—he had fallen out of Super Saiyan 2.

"Vegeta!!" Son Goku cried out and rushed over, intending to catch his falling friend. But Fat Buu would not allow it. He kicked Son Goku away before he could react!

Son Goku cried out as he fell at tremendous speed. The horrifying momentum carried him straight through a mountain, and his remaining force did not weaken in the slightest. Son Goku slammed heavily into the ground. The hard earth was like tofu before him, easily pierced until he sank deep into the underground rock layers and finally barely came to a stop.

"Oh ho ho ho!"

Watching the two he had defeated, Majin Buu waved his arms and danced excitedly like a child, letting out strange laughter.

"Dad! Uncle Vegeta!!" Seeing both elders defeated, Son Gohan cried out anxiously.

"Gohan, Vegeta has passed out. Go protect him. As for your father, he's fine. You don't need to worry about him," Shin reminded him.

"Huh?" Son Gohan paused, then nodded. "Yes, Supreme Kai!"

Son Gohan immediately sprinted at top speed toward where Vegeta had fallen.

Shin, meanwhile, looked toward where Son Goku had landed.

Rumble rumble!!

A golden beam shot into the sky. Son Goku was wreathed in golden aura, his expression grave as he stared at Majin Buu, who was cheering like a child across from him.

"Your name is Buu, right? You're really strong. Even Vegeta and I together aren't your match," Son Goku said.

At those words.

Fat Buu froze for a moment, then proudly raised his head. Even his nose stretched long and pointed.

Son Goku stared intently at Fat Buu. "I heard Supreme Kai say that you have no emotions, no reason, and only know slaughter. But during our brief fight, I found that you aren't like Supreme Kai said."

"You seem... very innocent. So why do you kill weak lives?" Son Goku asked seriously.

Fat Buu thought about it, then answered with a smile, "Because it's fun!"

"What?!" Son Goku's eyes widened. He asked angrily, "Just because it's fun? You killed so many lives for that? What do you take life for?!"

Fat Buu pondered seriously for a moment, then answered with a smile, "Food!"

"When my stomach is hungry, I turn people into chocolate, cakes, and candy, then eat them!"

"Food..." Fury flickered in Son Goku's eyes. He said coldly, "Now I'm sure. You may not be as brutal as Supreme Kai said, but you are far too great a threat to this world, to the universe!"

"Majin Buu, I have to defeat you here!"

As soon as he said that.

Son Goku clenched his fists as energy surged throughout his body. "Haaaaaaah!!"

Buzz!!

As Son Goku drew upon the hidden energy within his body, a terrifying aura raged like gale-force winds! It blew Fat Buu's flesh into constant ripples...

Fat Buu did not stop Son Goku from increasing his strength. He simply watched him with curiosity.

"Th-that's... Dad?!" Son Gohan stood protectively in front of Vegeta and stared in disbelief at his father, who was raising his energy in the sky.

"So... so powerful... Dad's energy... is surpassing its limits!" Son Gohan exclaimed.

"Yaaaaaah!!"

Son Goku roared, his aura becoming ever more terrifying. The energy spilling from his body alone made the entire Earth tremble! Literally tremble!

An earthquake sweeping across the entire Earth was raging through the world!

Before such a world-level natural disaster, ordinary people could only scream in terror, flee, and pray to the heavens. There was nothing else they could do.

"O-old Goku... His energy is surpassing its limits... What is he trying to do?!"

Piccolo had already returned to the Heavenly Realm. He stood at its edge, his gaze fixed on the clouds below while his senses remained focused on Son Goku and the others.

Feeling Son Goku's energy swell higher and higher, cold sweat beaded on Piccolo's forehead. He cursed under his breath, "Those Saiyan freaks!"

Dende, the new Kami, gripped his staff and used Kami's power to observe Son Goku and the others fighting Fat Buu. Seeing Son Goku's transformation surpass its limits, he too gaped in shock and trembled from head to toe in fear.

World Martial Arts Tournament Arena.

The tournament had ended. The winner was exactly as the audience had expected: Mr. Satan, the "undefeated champion"!

"Satan!!"

"Satan!!"

"Satan!!"

The audience cheered Satan's name, their eyes gleaming with fervent adoration!

Satan basked in the crowd's cheers, spreading his arms with practiced ease as he shouted to the audience!

But at that very moment, the earthquake struck!

"Ahhh!!"

The crowd screamed and fled in terror toward the exits. The enormous mass of people quickly packed the passageways so tightly that no one could move!
