Mount Paozu.
What was once a tranquil and serene paradise has now been completely transformed into a living hell.
The endless sea of fire engulfed the mountains and forests, dried up the rivers, and the hemispherical house that held warm memories for Son Goku's family was instantly vaporized in the destructive beams that swept the globe, leaving not even a trace of ash.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, turning it an ominous dark red.
In mid-air, Son Gohan was using all his strength to hold onto his mother Chi-Chi and his grandfather, Ox-King, with his small, tender hands.
He and the two of them struggled to maintain their levitation amidst the scorching heat and thick smoke.
Not long ago, when those dense, dark red pillars of destructive light descended from the sky, Son Gohan, who was still learning to fly but was still struggling, witnessed a pillar of light about to engulf his mother.
He didn't even have time to think.
An unprecedented aura erupted from his small body!
Soaring into the sky, it grabbed Chi-Chi and the Ox-King, dodging left and right amidst a net of destructive energy, miraculously avoiding all fatal attacks.
The Ox-King looked down at the apocalyptic scene below, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
He turned his head and looked at his grandson, whose face was full of determination and whose teeth were clenched. He felt a sense of lingering fear, but also an indescribable shock and relief.
"Truly, he's worthy of being Goku's child! My grandson is amazing!"
Chi-Chi, who was being held in Son Gohan's arms, looked completely bewildered and dazed.
She stared blankly at the scorched earth below, where her home had once been, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks, leaving two glistening trails in the air.
"Home... our home..."
Chi-Chi's voice was trembling.
"Our home is gone..."
Overwhelmed by immense grief, Chi-Chi could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs.
"The money inside... the wages that Big Brother paid to Goku, all of that money was burned!"
The heart-wrenching cry startled even the Ox-King standing nearby.
He quickly patted Chi-Chi on the shoulder and loudly comforted her, " Chi-Chi, it's good enough that you're alive in a situation like this! You can earn more money later!"
" Goku is making so much money now, and his boss is Gohan's uncle. As long as he's still around, he'll earn that money back eventually..."
The Ox-King kept trying to comfort his daughter, attempting to pull her out of her immense grief.
Son Gohan remained silent.
He gritted his teeth and concentrated the sudden surge of power within him as much as possible to maintain their flight.
He had no idea how long he had been floating in the air.
Looking down, there was an endless sea of fire, and there was nowhere to put one's foot.
As time went on, the ki within Son Gohan's body, which had been quite abundant, began to become somewhat disordered.
Large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his small hands, gripping his clothes tightly, trembled slightly from the force.
My physical strength is almost at its limit.
"I absolutely cannot let go..."
"I want to protect my mom and grandpa..."
Son Gohan screamed wildly in his heart, and a resolute look, just like Son Goku's, flashed in his black eyes.
He relentlessly squeezed out the last bit of potential from the depths of his body, stubbornly maintaining flight.
Just as Son Gohan was about to exhaust himself and the three of them were gradually falling into despair.
A sudden change has occurred!
The sky, which had been glowing a fiery red by the firelight, instantly dimmed.
"What's going on? Why is it so dark?"
The Ox-King looked around in fear, his voice filled with unease.
Darkness comes quickly and goes quickly.
Before long, the sky brightened again.
The dazzling sunlight once again bathed the earth, dispelling all the gloom and darkness.
When the three, still shaken, looked down again, they were utterly stunned by what they saw.
The once endless sea of fire below is disappearing at a visible rate.
The forests, scorched to the ground, are now sprouting tender green shoots anew.
The collapsed riverbed, which had been cut off from its flow, is now once again filled with clear, flowing water.
Everything that had been destroyed miraculously returned to its original state in that short moment, as if time had reversed.
"Look! Our house!"
Chi-Chi pointed downwards and screamed with delight.
"The house is back too!"
On that familiar meadow, the iconic hemispherical cottage was rapidly reforming itself, looking exactly the same as before it was destroyed.
Son Gohan a long sigh of relief.
The nerves that had been stretched to the limit finally relaxed completely at this moment.
He landed steadily on the grass in front of his house with Chi-Chi and the Ox-King.
The moment her feet touched the ground, Chi-Chi couldn't wait to let go and rushed into the house.
A moment later, her incredibly excited, even tearful, cheers echoed from inside the room.
"The money! The money's back!"
Inside a spaceship deep underground.
Babidi slumped down, as if his soul had been drained away.
"We lost..."
His lips trembled as he uttered unintelligible murmurs.
Even Majin Buu, who absorbed the Phantom Majin Hirudegarn... lost!
can't read.
He seems to completely misunderstand this world!
Why?
That's the legendary Majin Buu!
Even the Supreme Kai fell into his hands!
Why do Saiyan possess such unreasonable power?
Babidi looked around.
His only remaining strongest subordinate, the demon beast Yakon.
ridiculous.
Compared to those terrifying Saiyan, Yakon's Power Level was probably not even good enough to be cannon fodder.
However, the disheartening feeling only lasted a moment.
The deathly grayness in Babidi's cloudy eyes was suddenly replaced by ruthlessness and madness!
" Saiyan..."
He gritted his teeth as he muttered the name.
I'll remember you!
"I, Babidi, will never let this go!"
He suddenly rallied, pacing back and forth in the control room, his eyes burning with an increasingly intense madness.
"I'm going to create one! A subordinate stronger than Majin Buu! More terrifying than Saiyan!"
"I'm coming back for revenge! I'll kill you all, one by one!"
This crazy idea acted like a shot of adrenaline, allowing him to rediscover the meaning of life.
Once he made up his mind, Babidi was in a flurry of activity.
Prepare to activate the warp drive and escape this nightmarish planet.
As long as you leave here, you'll still have a chance to make a comeback!
Just as his finger was about to touch the start button...
The entire spaceship shook violently, and Babidi lost his footing and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
He turned around in horror.
Amidst the acrid smoke and flickering flames, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged.
" Babidi!"
"This time you have nowhere to run!"
