A desolate, inconspicuous planet.
The ground is crisscrossed with gullies, and the fierce wind whips up clouds of yellow sand, emitting a mournful wail like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Hoi was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Things had spiraled completely out of his Control!
Damn Gokua!
That good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth!
Not only did they fail to capture Tapion, they also got themselves caught in the crossfire!
Now, that guy Tapion has actually been rescued by Frieza Force!
Frieza Force!
These guys!
It really is in the way!
The original plan was to wait until Hirudegarn was released before forcibly taking over this massive cosmic army.
It becomes a springboard for one's own domination of the universe.
Now, these ungrateful bastards are the first to jump out and cause trouble!
He knew Tapion's location perfectly well through the connection between Hirudegarn's lower and upper body.
But what upset Hoi even more was
What Hirudegarn's lower body transmitted was not just location information.
More than anything, it's a kind of... fear that originates from the depths of the soul!
Yes! It's fear!
There must be a terrifying force around Tapion that makes even Hirudegarn tremble!
Therefore, even though he now knows Tapion's hiding place perfectly, he doesn't dare to make any rash moves.
Who should we send?
He has no men left!
Go by yourself?
Even the Phantom Majin was traumatized by the beating; he's not stupid...
And that's not all... He's also wanted by the police!
How could he possibly be rational?
What's wrong with this world?
Just as he was becoming increasingly agitated and on the verge of madness...
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
A deep, calm, unfamiliar voice slowly came from the communicator.
"You seem quite troubled..."
"Who?!"
Hoi's hair stood on end instantly!
He abruptly took a step back, dark purple magical energy instantly condensing in his palm, his eyes warily scanning the empty surroundings.
The communicator on his waist suddenly emitted a strange electrical sound.
This communicator is one-way!
It was used by him to communicate with and control Gokua and some other henchmen!
What's going on with this reverse connection being accessed?
The mysterious person on the other end of the communicator seemed completely unconcerned about Hoi's wariness.
"I am... someone who can help you."
"I am very interested in the legendary evil demon god, Lord Hirudegarn."
"If we can help you, sir, to free Lord Hirudegarn in his entirety from his seal..."
"I think I can give it a try..."
Upon hearing the name " Hirudegarn," Hoi's pupils suddenly contracted.
The other party not only knew of his existence, but also knew his biggest secret!
Hoi forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his voice turning cold.
"Who exactly is this sneaky fellow?"
The mysterious voice continued to ring out.
"I told you! I am someone who can help you, someone who shares your goals and your common enemy!"
" Frieza Force must be keeping you up at night by now."
"The hero you seek is being hunted day and night by a general from Frieza Force. They previously resided on the Planet Yardrat..."
"Although their whereabouts are currently unknown, I believe you know their location better than I do..."
"Ha... You don't even know where they are, yet you spout such nonsense, trying to help me?" Hoi said sarcastically.
An indescribable, immense, and malevolent aura erupted from behind him without warning!
All that could be seen was a deep shadow behind him.
Two... unimaginably huge feet are slowly emerging from nothingness!
Its soles were covered with dark green carapaces, and its ankles were wrapped with strange orange patterns. Its toes alone were taller than Hoi's entire body.
Phantom Majin Hirudegarn... his lower body!
Feeling the familiar yet powerful evil energy behind him, Hoi's nerves, which had been taut with fear, finally found a moment of solace.
His confidence returned.
The panic and wariness on Hoi's face quickly faded.
His cold gaze swept over the empty surroundings, a cruel smile curving his lips as he deliberately raised his voice.
"Still not coming out?"
"A mouse hiding in the shadows!"
"If I find you, you'll probably be in big trouble..."
He tried to regain control of the conversation by using this outwardly fierce but inwardly weak stance, and to probe out the guy hiding in the shadows.
However, the only response he received from the other end of the communicator was a low, ambiguous chuckle.
"Hehe..."
The laughter was calm and unhurried, completely disregarding Hoi's threats.
"If you can find it, then please do so..."
"However, my desire to help you is truly sincere..."
"After all, being wanted throughout the universe by Frieza Force isn't a pleasant experience, is it?"
"Sir, you're much more anxious than I am..."
Let's... wait and see...
As soon as the words were spoken, the voice on the other end of the communicator completely disappeared.
"You--!"
Hoi was so angry that he trembled all over...
"Bastard! Bastard!!"
Hoi let out an angry roar, but his impotent rage seemed to have no effect...
The mysterious person was naturally the one who had approached Babidi in the first place.
The two sides appear to have reached some kind of cooperation, and Hoi and Hirudegarn part of their deal.
Although Babidi thought that this Hirudegarn was nothing special and hadn't gained anything substantial so far, it confirmed Babidi's initial dismissive attitude.
Now, Hoi's exasperated behavior was also being observed by Babidi was monitoring him remotely.
This time, however, caused Babidi to frown slightly.
The moment Hirudegarn appeared, the energy detector in Babidi's hand started beating wildly.
"This is?!"
"Is this the power of Hirudegarn?"
Babidi changed his previous dismissive attitude.
That guy!
It seems to possess energy beyond his expectations!
and!
This is only half of Hirudegarn...
Babidi and Dabura, who was standing next to him, both looked serious.
" Hirudegarn... the Phantom Majin..."
"If Hirudegarn were fully restored... he could be of use to me..." Babidi narrowed his eyes.
He had no idea what the mysterious person was planning to do.
But at this moment, he also had his own plans.
Majin Buu plus Hirudegarn!
Babidi seemed to be already imagining his own glory!
He will become a greater magician than his father!
