Loren had just walked down the steps with Android 18.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him.
It was the Supreme Kai—whom Loren had taught a lesson before—and his attendant, Kibito, whose face still clearly bore the mark of a slap.
At this moment, the Supreme Kai no longer had even a trace of his former "divine" arrogance.
"Lord Loren!"
The Supreme Kai's voice trembled, and he even subconsciously used honorifics.
"Please! I beg you! Please step in and stop Majin Buu's resurrection!"
Loren stopped, his brows knitting slightly.
[Ding! Detected a cosmic-level event — "Majin Buu's Resurrection"!]
[The God-level selection system activated!]
[Host, please make your choice!]
A light screen unfolded before Loren's eyes.
[Choice One: Accept the Supreme Kai's request. Immediately proceed to Babidi's base and eliminate all threats before Majin Buu's resurrection.
Reward: "Supreme Kai's Highest Courtesy"]
[Choice Two: Reject the Supreme Kai directly. Clearly state that this matter has nothing to do with you and "recommend" a more suitable savior.
Reward: Normal combat power increased to 500 million!]
…There's actually something this good?
Getting rewarded for rejecting someone?
This system really understands him more and more.
"Lord Loren?"
Seeing Loren smile, the Supreme Kai's heart lit up with hope.
"Are you… agreeing?"
"No."
Loren spat out the word flatly.
"Why?!"
The Supreme Kai was completely unable to understand.
"This concerns the survival of the entire universe! You possess such immense power—why are you unwilling to act?!"
"Because it's troublesome."
Loren's answer instantly petrified both the Supreme Kai and Kibito.
Then, Loren casually pointed toward the arena, where Son Goku was still standing there scratching his head in confusion.
"The one you're looking for is a hero."
"See the guy in orange? His name is Son Goku. Saving the world is basically one of his hobbies."
"For things like this, he's the professional."
"He…?"
The Supreme Kai stared blankly at Goku.
"Aren't gods best at putting their hopes on others anyway?"
Loren chuckled softly, no longer paying attention to the stunned Supreme Kai. Pulling Lazuli along, he turned and left.
"Let's go, 18. Barbecue's on me."
[Ding! Host has completed Choice Two.]
[Reward issued!]
A warm current surged through Loren's entire body.
He could feel his power becoming deeper and more solid.
Left behind were the despairing Supreme Kai and Kibito, who watched Loren's retreating figure—then looked at Son Goku in the arena.
…Do they really have no choice but to rely on him?
West City — Capsule Corporation
Inside Bulma's luxurious living room.
The Supreme Kai explained everything about Majin Buu.
Naturally, he discreetly skipped over the "minor incident" of being beaten and rejected by Loren, only saying that "an unnamed powerful individual directed us to seek Son Goku's help."
"What?! Majin Buu?!"
Bulma's face instantly turned pale.
"Yes," the Supreme Kai said gravely.
"Majin Buu once plunged the entire universe into destruction."
"The wizard Babidi is attempting to resurrect him. Once he succeeds, the universe will fall into eternal catastrophe."
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
Goku slapped his fist into his palm, eyes shining.
"Tell us where he is already!"
After fighting Vegeta, Goku felt stronger than ever—this was the perfect chance for another big battle.
"I… I don't know."
The Supreme Kai looked embarrassed.
"Babidi has hidden his ship and aura with powerful magic. Even my divine power can't pinpoint his exact location."
"What?!"
Krillin screamed.
"After all that, we don't even know where the enemy is?! What are we supposed to do—fight air?!"
Vegeta leaned against the wall, arms crossed, scoffing.
Ever since losing to Goku, his mood had been terrible.
Now it was even worse.
"Useless god."
The Supreme Kai's face flushed red, but he didn't dare argue back.
"Um…"
Gohan raised his hand cautiously.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"I… I just remembered something," Gohan said hesitantly.
"Can't we use the Dragon Balls to wish for Babidi's location?"
The Dragon Balls!
Everyone froze for a second—
Then reacted at once.
"Gohan! You're a genius!"
Krillin excitedly slapped Gohan on the shoulder.
"How did we forget about that?!"
Goku slapped his forehead too.
"Oh right! We can ask Shenron!"
Bulma immediately pulled out the Dragon Radar.
Watching the group suddenly spring into action, the Supreme Kai and Kibito were stunned again.
The Dragon Balls…?
Those wish-granting orbs made by Earth's Kami?
…They can really be used like that?
On Bulma's lawn—vast enough to rival a football field—seven orange Dragon Balls lay quietly.
"Can this really work…?"
The Supreme Kai stared at the balls, doubt filling his eyes.
Could something made by an Earth god really locate Babidi, whom even divine power couldn't find?
"Relax."
Bulma put her hands on her hips confidently.
"This is Shenron. There's nothing he can't do."
She cleared her throat and shouted solemnly:
"Come forth—Shenron!"
The seven Dragon Balls erupted in brilliant golden light.
Dark clouds instantly filled the sky as thunder roared.
A massive Eastern dragon with emerald scales emerged from the clouds, crimson eyes gazing down.
"State your wish."
"Any wish can be granted."
The Supreme Kai and Kibito were completely dumbfounded.
"Uh, Shenron!"
Goku stepped forward and shouted.
"Can you help us find a wizard named Babidi?"
"He's hiding on Earth and trying to resurrect a bad guy named Majin Buu!"
Shenron's eyes flickered.
"Yes."
"Locating…"
"Location confirmed."
"Target is deep underground in the Eastern Desert region."
The emotionless response electrified everyone.
"That's amazing!"
Krillin jumped in excitement.
"We found him that easily?!"
"Thanks, Shenron!"
Goku waved.
"Our wish is done!"
Shenron's eyes flashed again.
"Then, farewell."
The dragon dissolved into golden light.
The clouds dispersed, sunlight returning.
The seven Dragon Balls lost their glow and scattered across the Earth.
